It was impossible for a crown prince to eavesdrop on the soldiers' conversations, he thought. He should have heard the news from within the forest directly from his soldiers.

Upon arriving at the hall, there was still no one in sight. Prince Purbaya decided to return to his chamber while waiting for his soldiers to arrive and report their findings.

Unlike the first two rounds, which were held in the morning, the third round of the tournament was scheduled later that day. That was why Arya was still lounging in his room.

The handsome young man lay on the bed, gazing at the beautiful face of Ratnasari, who was still fast asleep.

Moments later, the lovely girl opened her eyes. A mix of surprise and embarrassment flooded her as she realized the first thing she saw upon waking up was her beloved's handsome face—staring at her no less.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Good morning, my beautiful love," Arya greeted without answering Ratnasari’s question.

Her heart pounded at Arya’s sw

    Suddenly, his thoughts inadvertently turned to Arya. His encounter yesterday with the mysterious young man led him to suspect that Arya was the culprit."But is that even possible?" His heart was filled with questions. He was still unsure about the thoughts forming in his mind.King Wijaya Kusuma stepped out of the treatment chamber and ordered his soldiers to find Arya and bring him to the palace.Meanwhile, in the royal square, a host climbed onto one of the stages. After taking a deep breath, he loudly announced the postponement of the third round of the tournament.Disappointed murmurs erupted among the audience, mixed with long, disorganized whistles.From inside a small tavern, Arya peeked outside upon hearing the commotion of the disappointed crowd in the square. His curiosity grew, prompting him to invite Ratnasari to approach the stage and find out what had happened.After paying for the meal that had already settled in his stomach, the two of them walked briskly into the roy

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Important Information

    King Wijaya Kusuma stared intently at the handsome young man's face, searching for any sign that might confirm his suspicions. However, Arya’s act was so natural that the ruler of the Jaya Buana Kingdom could not detect any pretense. Even when he used his ability to sense Arya’s energy, he could feel only a very faint trace."So, the story is that a battle took place in the outer forest near the capital last night, and four bodies were found by the soldiers as a result of that fight. But the problem is, no one knows who they were fighting against." King Wijaya Kusuma let out a long sigh."And what does that have to do with us, Your Majesty?" Arya asked."Nothing. I just thought you should know." King Wijaya Kusuma concealed his confusion. The nearly middle-aged king pondered how to steer the conversation in another direction.Suddenly, the door swung open, and Commander Bayu Aji entered the hall.King Wijaya Kusuma frowned at Commander Bayu Aji's arrival, which was several days earlie

    A broad smile spread across the lips of the two elderly men. The thought of gold filling their pockets danced before their eyes."The young man is staying here, Elder. As per our agreement, I will settle the remaining payment once you have successfully killed him," said a soldier serving Prince Purbaya. He was unwilling to be deceived again by paying in full before confirming the job was done."Hahahaha... I can assure you the boy will die. Just prepare the rest of my payment. But remember, if you break our deal, I will hunt you down and separate every part of your body!" replied the taller of the two old men."How could I dare break my promise to the two leaders of the Black Eagle Sect? Once you have killed him, I will pay the remainder immediately. The prince may even reward you handsomely.""I’ll hold you to that! Now leave and watch from afar as we finish the job."As the two soldiers walked away, the two leaders of the Black Eagle Sect leaped lightly onto the inn's roof.For warr

    They couldn't suppress their anger, especially Sumarta, who cursed loudly, even muttering a few profanities under his breath."Enough. Let's ignore him. Now, let's go inside and kill that young man!" said Wira.Sumarta nodded and took a step forward. His right hand reached for the door handle and pushed it gently.Something unexpected happened. The door he was about to open suddenly burst outward. The old man had no time to dodge and had to endure the wooden door slamming into his body.A string of curses and swearing spilled from his wrinkled lips. His hand throbbed in pain, struck by the wooden door.Wira was equally shocked, but he was lucky enough to react swiftly and avoid the door aimed at his body."I don’t know why you came here, but if you were hired by Prince Purbaya to kill me, then I won’t hesitate to send you to join the Four Blood Demons in death!"Arya's cold and flat voice startled Wira and Sumarta. Both of them instinctively turned toward the door and saw a handsome y

    The increasingly heavy rain seemed to affirm Jalu’s desires. Ratnasari's curves became more visible, her silk clothing failing to conceal her private assets."Your body looks so delicious, beautiful girl. What a shame it would be if you had to die so soon. But I won’t kill you before my bird gets to feel the sweetness of your grip!"Ratnasari remained unfazed. She was used to dealing with the filthy thoughts of men who lusted after her body.On the other side, Sumarta, now in a desperate situation, drew the sword hanging from his shoulder. The sword, with a black blade and a hawk-shaped hilt, radiated a formidable energy the moment it was unsheathed."So, you can no longer fight barehanded, old man," Arya taunted with a smirk. "But if you want to fight with weapons, I’m more than ready to face you!"Not wanting to be outdone, Arya unsheathed the Fire Dragon Sword. The legendary weapon emitted a crimson aura, looking magnificent under the pouring rain.A more intense battle ensued. Ary

    Without another word, the beautiful girl walked into the inn.After Ratnasari entered, Arya's gaze shifted to the two leaders of the Black Eagle Sect."It's a good thing you're already together. That means I don’t have to waste my time finishing you both off!"Sumarta and Jalu exchanged glances briefly before taking firm stances.Jalu drew his sword, while Sumarta fought barehanded, as his sword had been knocked far away by Arya's earlier parry."It's time for you to depart for the afterlife!" The Fire Dragon Sword suddenly emitted a bright red glow."We've spent more years in the martial world than you, young man. If you're trying to provoke us, forget it. Your words won’t affect us in the slightest.""Suit yourselves. Let’s see—today, will it be me or you who dies?"As soon as he finished speaking, Arya spun his sword and swiftly launched an attack.When Arya closed in, the two old men split apart and attacked from both sides. The young man, however, was unfazed by their formation.

    Arya walked toward his beloved and sat beside her. "Forgive me if I have hurt your heart. The situation earlier didn’t allow me to speak softly. The rain was pouring heavily, and in front of us were two warriors intent on killing us. I apologize for letting my emotions get the best of me," Arya said softly. His fingers gently wiped away the tears streaming down her cheeks."In my sixteen years of life, I have never been yelled at, not even by my own father. If it were my enemies shouting at me, I wouldn’t care. But you..."Arya placed his index finger on the lips of the beautiful young woman to stop her from speaking."I promise I won’t do it again. That was the first and last time," Arya said."Do you promise?"Arya nodded, a faint smile on his lips. The handsome young man then embraced Ratnasari tightly. "I promise."Meanwhile, at the palace, the soldiers hurried to meet Bayu Aji to report what they had just witnessed.The Grand Commander of the Jaya Buana Kingdom was shocked upon h

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Escape

    Right now, all he could do was wait for the two of them to arrive. But if the sun rose high overhead and his two warriors had still not returned, he had already decided to leave Kotaraja rather than suffer great humiliation. Especially since Commander Bayu Aji had already returned to the palace.However, his decision came with consequences—he would no longer be able to participate in the tournament, and his ambition to win the competition held by the Jaya Buana royal palace would be completely shattered.To this day, his anger toward Arya had not faded. If only he had never met that young man during registration, none of this would have happened, he thought bitterly.One thing he regretted was that he was currently in the capital of the Jaya Buana Kingdom. If he were in his father’s kingdom, he could punish that handsome young man as he pleased.But in his uncle’s kingdom, his power was limited. King Wijaya Kusuma was known as a wise ruler, and naturally, every decision had to go thro

  • 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

    "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

  • The Dragon King's Eyes

    For the residents of the capital city, there was no other option but to obey the order to leave. Aside from valuable coins and a few sets of clothing, they could bring nothing else. Everything was left behind, including livestock and household furniture.Prime Minister Bayu Aji and Commander Argananta watched the soldiers work with serious expressions. Occasionally, they shouted orders whenever they noticed inefficiencies in the soldiers' tasks.Commander Argananta, with his extensive experience in defending against invasions from rival kingdoms attempting to conquer the Sastrajingga Kingdom, carefully explained the necessary steps to take. He applied his past experiences to assist Prime Minister Bayu Aji in handling the impending attack from the Cakrabuana Kingdom.Inside the palace, the atmosphere was just as tense. Gone were the joyful laughter and merriment that once filled the halls before King Dharma Kusuma declared war.King Wijay

  • A Cunning Plan

    Two luxurious horse-drawn carriages moved in succession, surrounded by thousands of soldiers providing protection. One carriage carried King Dharma Kusuma, Prince Purbaya, and Mandalasura, while the other was occupied by three elders from the dark sect.The villagers along the route watched in astonishment. Such a grand procession of Cakrabuana Kingdom’s troops was an extremely rare sight, leaving them bewildered.Speculations quickly arose among the people, and their thoughts converged on the likelihood of war. Judging by the direction and destination of the troops, many assumed that a civil war was imminent.Inside his opulent carriage, King Dharma Kusuma grinned broadly, imagining himself seizing full control of the kingdom left by his late father."It won’t be long before you can avenge yourself, Purbaya. And you’ll also get to claim those two beautiful women as your own, hahahaha!" The king’s loud laughter filled the carriage.Prince Purbaya only responded with a small smile. His

  • The People’s Hopes

    An assumption put forward by three elders of the dark sect suggested that Walang Sungsang had fled from his responsibilities. However, Mandalasura strongly refuted this claim. The warrior known as the Shadow Demon insisted that he knew Walang Sungsang well. He was certain that the accusations were baseless, as Walang Sungsang had always been highly loyal to the dark sect. It was impossible for the warrior, also known as the Steel Claw, to change his mind and abandon their alliance."But the fact remains that Walang Sungsang has yet to return, Elder. Doesn't that count as running away from responsibility?" argued Supranata, the leader of the Black Raven Sect."Could something have happened to Elder Walang Sungsang while he was chasing Kertapati?" asked King Dharma Kusuma."That is certainly possible!" Mandalasura quickly responded."But is it really possible, Elder? We all know that Kertapati is not someone capable of defeating Walang Sungsang," Supranata still doubted Mandalasura's wo

  • Ratnasari's Desire

    King Dharmalaksana took a deep breath. The authoritative voice of Prime Minister Bayu Aji was like ice water, cooling his heart and slowly extinguishing his anger."Now tell me, what information have you gathered?" asked King Wijaya Kusuma."My apologies, Your Majesty. Based on our surveillance, it turns out they have sought assistance from several dark sects for the upcoming attack," reported a spy.King Wijaya was certainly shaken by the news. He never expected that his younger brother would ally himself with dark sects just to seize the throne."Are you certain of this information?""I cannot say for sure, Your Majesty... but on our last day in the capital city of Cakrabuana, we saw a group of hundreds of people. Based on their uniforms, they appeared to be from a dark sect."King Wijaya Kusuma shook his head. The report from his spies was not something he could easily dismiss. "It seems my brother has already prepared everything for the war.""Do not worry, I will summon my troops

  • The Emotion of King Dharmalaksana

    Prime Minister Bayu Aji could sense the anxiety among the residents of the capital city. However, since there had been no order from King Wijaya Kusuma to relocate them, he could only instruct the soldiers to reassure the people and keep them calm.Accompanied by Commander Argananta and escorted by four soldiers, the forty-year-old high-ranking official patrolled the city, inspecting the soldiers' work as they cooperated in digging a defensive trench around the capital.At the main gate, the two important officials from different kingdoms spent more time discussing strategies to fortify their defenses.In addition to digging a five-meter-wide, two-meter-deep trench, the soldiers also placed hundreds of one-meter-wide pit traps about fifty meters from the trench. Inside these pits were sharp wooden stakes, concealed with leaves and dry straw to make them look natural.It was hoped that the trench and pit traps would reduce the enemy's numbers by at least ten to twenty percent before th

  • The Great Heart of Ratnasari

    "The prince has changed a lot, Your Majesty. His martial skills are incomparable to anyone in the Sastrajingga palace. Even two highly skilled warriors from the dark sect were unable to defeat him," continued Commander Argananta.King Dharmalaksana lifted his face, his eyes tightly closed. A deep sigh of relief escaped his lips upon confirming the discovery of his youngest son. "Thank's, God. You have finally answered my prayers and my wife's!"Queen Dyah Pitaloka could no longer hold back her tears of happiness as they streamed from her beautiful eyes."There is something else I must report, Your Majesty... It is true that the prince has lost his memory. He did not recognize me at all," said Commander Argananta again."It does not matter, Commander. The most important thing is that my son, Jayalaksana, has been found. As for his memory loss, the royal physicians will do their best to restore it. Where is he now?" asked King Dharmalaksana."It seems that the prince is continuing his j
