The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Meeting with Caraka
Four soldiers guarding the gate watched their arrival with sharp eyes. Even when the two dismounted their horses, the scrutinizing and suspicious gazes from the soldiers became even more intense.From head to toe, the two young men were thoroughly examined, fueling the soldiers’ suspicion.Arya was slightly surprised by the soldiers' reaction to their arrival. Based on his quick analysis, something must have happened inside the Jayakerta duchy."What is your purpose for coming here?" one soldier asked suspiciously."We are visiting a relative, sir," Sanjaya quickly replied. Following Arya’s instructions, since he was more familiar with the people of the duchy, he was given the freedom to answer any questions from the soldiers."Who are you visiting?""Mister Kartosuro. His house is in the alley near the duchy’s palace." Sanjaya answered calmly and firmly.One of the soldiers narrowed his eyes at Sanjaya’s face. He found it strangely familiar, but he couldn’t recall where or when he ha
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya's Suspicion
While keeping his ears open for any visitors, Caraka answered the question directed at him, "I got the information after I accidentally overheard a conversation between two of Sidharta's special guards who happened to be eating at my place.""What information?" Arya asked again. He was extremely curious about the continuation of Caraka's story."So, the search for Sanjaya has resumed because a fortune teller told Master Sidharta that a young man would come and eliminate him and also Duke Sudaraksa." Caraka's voice was so low that only the two young men could barely hear it."That's why Sidharta hired two warriors to guard him," Caraka continued."So, Duke Sudaraksa knows about this prophecy?""He should know," Caraka replied briefly."Strange. If Duke Sudaraksa knows, then the soldiers must have..." Arya suddenly fell silent."What's wrong, Arya?" Sanjaya asked, confused."The soldiers know that you’re already in this duchy. Especially since earlier, you mentioned wanting to visit Unc
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Caught
Suddenly, the index finger of the Kartosuro house guard pointed at Arya after confirming his identity. Six soldiers and another guard immediately shifted their gaze in the direction of the pointing finger.“Damn it!” Arya muttered under his breath before quickening his pace as the six soldiers moved toward him.His suspicion that Sanjaya’s arrival had been discovered turned out to be true. Moreover, Caraka’s statement that the search for Sanjaya had resumed was also proven correct. Now, he needed to return to the eatery as quickly as possible to inform Sanjaya.But something unexpected caught the handsome young man’s eyes. The eatery where Sanjaya had been hiding was now tightly shut. Even when he knocked on the door, there was no response.Arya’s suspicion toward Caraka grew. He suspected that the middle-aged man had betrayed them and informed Sidharta’s men that Sanjaya was hiding in his establishment.“Damn it!” Arya cursed in his heart again. He had no problem fighting off all of
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon An Unexpected Surprise
Arya and Sanjaya pretended to be shocked upon seeing the soldiers emerge from the back door of the abandoned house."Forgive us, Sir. We have done nothing wrong," Arya pleaded."Silence! We have orders to capture both of you. Resisting means choosing death!" one of the soldiers snapped."W-We surrender, Sir. But please, don't hurt us," Arya said, placing his hands behind his neck and kneeling.The handsome young man's actions were immediately followed by Sanjaya, who did the same."Hahahaha... You are in no position to negotiate. Whether you'll be punished or executed, that’s up to Master Sidharta."Arya was waiting for the soldier to mention Duke Sudaraksa’s name, but it seemed they were strictly keeping their leader’s identity a secret."Quickly, seize these two brats and take them to Master Sidharta’s house! We’re going to get a hefty reward, my friends! Hahahaha!" ordered one of the soldiers, laughing loudly at the thought of the gold that would soon fill his pockets.Four other s
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Twin Warriors of Tiger Valley
"Why did you join those two savages, Uncle? Why?" Sanjaya asked in disbelief. He never expected that his own mother's younger brother was involved in the massacre of his family."Join them, you say? Hahahaha...!" Kartosuro laughed loudly.Sidharta and Duke Sudaraksa also burst into loud laughter in response to Kartosuro’s words."You might not believe it, Sanjaya, but your dear uncle is the mastermind behind your family's massacre. He planned everything and even requested Lord Duke to back him up in case anything went wrong," Sidharta explained."Is that true, Uncle? Why? What did my father do to deserve such a cruel scheme from you?" Sanjaya still couldn't believe what was happening. "Father was always kind to you.""Kind, you say? You have no idea how your father treated me, Sanjaya!" Kartosuro snapped, his voice rising, leaving Sanjaya stunned."Your father never treated me like a brother—he treated me like a worker! He constantly humiliated and insulted me, no matter how hard I wo
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Shameful Death
"Your title isn't scary at all, old man. It’s only good for scaring little kids!" Arya chuckled softly, playing a psychological game to provoke his opponent's emotions.Suliwa couldn't contain his anger. Without hesitation, he lunged at Arya, who stood not far from him. The black staff with a tiger-head handle in his grasp shot straight toward Arya’s solar plexus.With a slight shift of his body to the side, the handsome young man dodged the attack, the staff narrowly missing him by just four fingers’ width.Frustrated that his initial attack was easily avoided, Suliwa pulled back his staff and swung it toward Arya’s exposed waist. However, Arya’s experience fighting four masters of the dark sect, all possessing formidable martial skills, allowed him to evade the strike effortlessly.Arya leaped and grabbed a sword lying nearby. He immediately switched from defense to offense, aiming a swift strike at Suliwa’s left ribs.Realizing his ribs were the target, Suliwa attempted to parry th
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Strange Technique
Arya withdrew his fingers from Suliwa's body. He then kicked the old man's lifeless corpse with enough force to send it flying.After ensuring his opponent was dead, Arya's eyes scanned the surroundings. As far as he remembered, there was still one more of Sidharta’s guards he had to eliminate.Right on cue, Paringga rushed toward him and launched an attack. He could not accept that his friend had died at the hands of this young man.Wielding a black staff with a tiger-head hilt, Paringga bombarded Arya's defense with a relentless barrage of attacks.Even though he was barehanded, Arya, the handsome young man, gradually managed to push Paringga back until the latter was forced into a purely defensive stance.---Meanwhile, inside the duchy palace, a man dressed in black ran hastily into the hall."My apologies, Duke Sudaraksa..." The man paused, struggling to catch his erratic breath."What is it, soldier? Do you have important news?" Duke Sudaraksa asked, a hint of anxiety in his ton
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Death of Paringga
"I will kill you, boy!" Paringga's voice was deep and menacing.Arya gripped his sword once more. He wanted to test the sharpness of his claws against the claws of the tiger-headed man."Enough talk! Let's continue the fight."Paringga growled. His black claws extended slightly, sharp and deadly. He planted his stance firmly before launching an attack."Die!" The tiger-headed man lunged forward with a fierce strike.Arya dodged to the side as the opening attack aimed for his head. However, the follow-up strike targeted his stomach. The handsome young man swiftly leaped backward several steps to evade.Paringga was relentless. He continued his assault without pause, his speed and agility resembling that of a tiger hunting its prey."His speed keeps increasing," Arya muttered. He adjusted his own speed, determined to end the battle quickly.With a rapid counterattack, Arya struck back, giving his opponent no chance to retaliate.Paringga grimaced in pain as multiple wounds opened across

King Dharma Kusuma's Concern
Afterward, Rengga poured horse blood around the five corpses to make the scene appear more dramatic.Once the plan was completed, Rengga instructed the soldiers to prepare and roast the slaughtered horse's meat for their meal that day."Now, we just have to wait for their arrival," he said, then walked toward a large tree for shade.Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes into hours. The long wait gave the soldiers time to rest and let their horses graze.However, they remained vigilant. Some soldiers stood watch atop the hill, keeping a close eye on the surroundings.As night fell, a chill crept over the land, cooling the earth that had been bathed in sunlight all day. Rengga and Ratnasari climbed the hill to relieve the guards on duty. Their skills, far superior to those of the regular soldiers, made the switch necessary. Moreover, both Rengga and Ratnasari possessed the ability to see in the dark. The bright moonlight that illuminated
The Next Plan
"Were you looking for me?" Rengga chuckled softly behind the six men who were about to attack him.Cold sweat instantly seeped from the pores of the six men. They were shocked and never expected that the person they intended to kill possessed such exceptional martial skills."When did he pass us?" one of them asked in confusion."I don’t know either," replied his companion beside him, his knees trembling as fear started creeping into his mind."I only need one of you alive!" Rengga said softly, but his voice carried an overwhelming intimidation.Before the six men could even turn around, Rengga’s fists had already landed on their bodies. Five of them collapsed onto the ground, lifeless, as their only breath was forcefully taken away.Rengga had deliberately spared one of them to extract information. But then he remembered that the large-built man who had attacked him first was still breathing.His gaze shifted,
Rengga's Action
A few moments earlier, Ratnasari and Rengga had already begun their activities before the sun rose to illuminate the earth. The two of them scouted the area, looking for the safest and most strategic spot to launch an attack.In a situation like this, Rengga was forced to think hard. Before him stretched a vast open field, which at first seemed advantageous. However, the lack of cover for his troops to release their arrows safely made him rack his brain even more.After discussing with Ratnasari and weighing various considerations, they finally decided to move farther from their initial position.After an hour on horseback, they discovered a small hill that was not too high. From its peak, they had a clear field of vision, and it would provide an excellent vantage point for the archers when launching their attack."This is the most strategic place to attack them, Ratna. But the problem is, we don’t know if they will pass through here or
Spreading Teror
After sending off the Archer troops at the city gate, Prime Minister Bayu Aji hurried back to the palace.The newly appointed Young Commander, who had been chosen without having to complete the tournament, walked alongside him toward the soldiers' barracks, still within the palace complex."Birendra, order all soldiers to go out and help finish setting up the traps!" commanded Prime Minister Bayu Aji to Young Commander Birendra.The thirty-seven-year-old Young Commander pressed his palms together in front of his face and nodded slightly."As you command, Prime Minister, I will carry it out," he replied.Prime Minister Bayu Aji gazed at the thousand soldiers diligently training on the vast open field. They were practicing encirclement and breakthrough strategies, the hallmark tactics of King Girindrawardhana.Iron shields, as wide and tall as a man's body, were firmly gripped in the soldiers’ hands. In their right hands, they held
Departure of the Archer Troops
Rengga once again examined the dry parchment spread across the table, stroking his beard, which was beginning to grow fine hairs."We don't need too many, Prime Minister. Three to five hundred archers at each point will suffice. We rain arrows on them, then retreat back to the capital city.""I understand, Elder." Prime Minister Bayu Aji no longer had any doubts about the intelligence of the man who would replace Arya as the Grand Commander. Even he himself had not considered such a strategy as Rengga had proposed.The discussion continued. This time, Rengga spoke little, as he felt the ambush plan they had devised was already in line with his own thoughts.The conversation lasted for half a day. Suddenly, a scout rushed into the hall, slightly out of breath. Dressed entirely in black with a yellow cloth tied around his arm, the scout knelt before King Wijaya Kusuma, paying his respects."What report do you bring?" asked King Wijaya Kusuma."Forgive me, Your Majesty. The enemy troops
Brief Plan
"We should talk at the palace, Brother. There is much to explain about the situation that is about to unfold," she said."That's true, Kisanak. It’s best we discuss this at the palace. Your arrival may bring fresh air to this kingdom." Prime Minister Bayu Aji responded to Ratnasari’s statement.Rengga observed the numerous soldiers working hard to dig the ground. His brow furrowed as his instincts told him that something significant was about to happen."Is there going to be a war?" he asked with a hint of emphasis.Prime Minister Bayu Aji gave a slight smile. His mind recalled Arya’s words, which stated that Rengga possessed intelligence above the average, and now he had proof of it."Come, Elder... let’s discuss this at the palace; it will be more comfortable," Prime Minister Bayu Aji invited.Rengga smiled and nodded.Before the three of them left for the palace, Prime Minister Bayu Aji assigned the supervision of the work to a senior soldier.The initial impression Rengga displaye
The Arrival of Rengga
"Don't ask too many questions...! Now you must train the martial arts you have just acquired, Arya. Learn to control your strength so that when you use the Dragon God's Wrath on Earth, it does not cause catastrophic destruction," ordered Hydra.Arya could only nod and then began to focus his mind. Slowly, a reddish aura of energy began to seep out of his body.As Arya resumed his training, the long journey of the Cakrabuana Kingdom's army had entered its sixth day. It would not be long before they reached the vast mountain range that marked the border between the Cakrabuana Kingdom and the Jaya Buana Kingdom.While awaiting the arrival of the Shadow Devil Sect members, King Dharma Kusuma ordered his soldiers to set up tents at the foot of the mountain for rest.Upon their arrival at the mountain's base, a dozen soldiers quickly erected a massive tent specifically for King Dharma Kusuma and Prince Purbaya. This tent was set up first, surrounded by
The Four Pillar Crater Lake
"We will answer, but after that, you must answer my question. How about that?" said Hydra."Alright." Arya nodded."First, you have mastered the Dragon King's Eye. You will no longer struggle against warriors who are faster than you. However, for now, there is a time limit on its usage because you have yet to fully refine the Fire Dragon energy within your body," Hydra explained."As for the beam of light that shot from your eyes, we are also curious as to how you were able to wield it," Wira Atmaja added.Arya raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What exactly have I mastered?""The beam of light from your eyes is a power that belongs only to the Dragon King. We call it the Dragon God's Wrathful Gaze," Hydra answered.Arya could only remain silent, furrowing his brow. No wonder the impact was so terrifying, he thought."But there's something you must know, Arya... If you are not facing a truly formidable enemy, never use it.
The Radiance of the Dragon God's Wrath
Hydra shifted his gaze and looked around. His eyebrows knitted together as he noticed the greenish aura of natural elements in the area rapidly moving and entering Arya’s body."How is that possible? What is Arya doing?" he muttered, though his voice was still audible to Wira Atmaja.The dragon, who had taken the form of an old man, was just as shocked. "That young man is absorbing the natural elements here? How can that be?"The two of them exchanged disbelieving glances."He’s actually using the natural elements to suppress the energy explosion that could destroy his body," Wira Atmaja said, shaking his head slightly."I also didn't expect Arya to do that. He must have realized that his body's endurance is limited. That’s why he’s trying to prevent the fusion of those two energies within him from exploding," Hydra responded.He then recalled his past battle with Arya in the forest. "Arya has always been quick-thinking
