Ratnasari jumped lightly off the stage, accompanied by applause and cheers from the audience. She then walked toward Arya, who smiled as he admired her beauty."Good thing your opponent didn’t notice your weakness," Arya whispered in Ratnasari’s ear. "It seems like you’ve forgotten what I once taught you."The beautiful girl furrowed her brows. "If I may ask, where is my weakness?""I'll show you the gaps in your defense later at the inn when we have time," Arya replied. The handsome young man then approached the announcer, who had yet to step onto the stage to continue his duties."Uncle, do I have another match scheduled for today?"The announcer unrolled the dried parchment he held. After a moment, he shook his head. "Your match is scheduled for tomorrow, young warrior. Today, there are still a few other matches before the third round begins.""Alright then. Thank you for the information, sir." Arya gave a slight smile before leaving the announcer."My match is tomorrow. For now, l
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Confrontation at the Palace Gate
Upon reaching the palace gate, Arya and Ratnasari were halted by the guards on duty."Halt, you two! What business do you have at the palace?" one of the guards asked, his expression fierce and unwelcoming."We have been invited by His Majesty the King to meet him this evening, Sir," Arya replied."You received an invitation from His Majesty?" The guard seemed doubtful of Arya's words."Hahaha... your delusions are impressive. How could the King possibly invite someone like you? Even if His Majesty had invited you, we would have been informed beforehand," another guard scoffed, his tone full of disdain.Arya and Ratnasari exchanged glances, confused by the situation. If they had truly been invited by King Wanajaya, someone should have been sent to escort them inside.Doubt began creeping into Arya’s mind. He started suspecting that the soldier who had given him the invitation had only intended to humiliate him."You again!" a sudden, sharp voice rang out from behind.Arya and Ratnasar
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Relief of Prince Purbaya
Rega walked quickly to catch up with Arya and Ratnasari. But after only ten steps, he stopped and turned back. "Wait for your heavy punishment, all of you!"The head soldier ran swiftly, chasing after Arya and Ratnasari, who had already disappeared from sight."You have to bear that punishment alone, Pranata! We refuse to suffer the consequences of your arrogance!" said one of the soldiers."That's right, we were only following procedure when questioning guests. But you suddenly appeared and insulted that young man," added another soldier.Pranata was speechless. He could only imagine the punishment that awaited him.Rega quickened his pace when he saw Arya and Ratnasari walking ahead. He ignored the curious stares of a few townspeople as he passed."Warrior, please stop!" Rega shouted.Arya turned around and halted his steps when he saw the soldier who had invited him the day before.Panting, Rega stopped right in front of Arya and Ratnasari. He steadied his breath before speaking, "
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Four Dark Figures
Princess Laras and Ratnasari remained mostly silent, listening to the conversation unfolding between the two men.However, Princess Laras’s frequent glances at Arya sent waves of jealousy crashing through Ratnasari’s heart. The fact that Princess Laras possessed beauty equal to her own only heightened her fears—fears that Arya might turn his attention elsewhere.But more than that, what terrified her the most was Princess Laras’s status as a king’s daughter."Arya, there's something I’d like to ask you. At such a young age, how did you acquire such formidable martial arts skills? Where did you actually train?" asked King Wijaya Kusuma.The handsome young man scratched his head lightly. He couldn’t possibly mention Sarwana or Hydra, who were, indirectly, his two masters.As he struggled to find an answer, Ratnasari suddenly spoke up, helping Arya out of his predicament. "Forgive me, Your Majesty… Arya and I actually trained at the Sacred Staff School. We both entered this tournament to
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Blood Shadow Formation
However, Arya and Ratnasari were completely mistaken—the four black-clad figures had deliberately lured them out of the royal city."If you two think we were planning to flee after attacking, you're dead wrong! Look where you are now!" one of the attackers sneered."You better not think that just because we're outside the city, we'll be afraid to face you," Arya smirked mockingly. "I don’t know who you are or what you want, but you've made a grave mistake by attacking us!""Your threats mean nothing to the Four Blood Demons, boy! We've lived our whole lives under threats, so don't expect us to be scared of yours!""Say whatever you want, but I didn’t chase after you just to threaten you—I came to kill all four of you!" Arya shot back."Bastard! Arrogant fools like you deserve to be cut to pieces!" one of them spat. "Kill the boy and capture the girl! We're being paid handsomely for this! Hahaha!"Arya frowned. He hadn’t expected that someone wanted him dead. But there was no time to t
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Twin Swords of the Devil’s Eagle
The handsome young man channeled his inner energy to relieve the pain coursing through his body. Something about the three opponents before him felt odd. Judging by their energy levels, Reksapati and the leader of the Blood Red Moon Sect were clearly stronger, yet their attacks were able to penetrate the Fire Dragon energy he had summoned.“Hahaha! How could we be paid so handsomely just to kill someone as weak as him?” one of the three sneered.“You’re right. I also wonder why those two soldiers were willing to pay such a high price for this young man’s life. I thought our target would be formidable, but he turns out to be nothing more than a lowly insect,” his companion replied.Hearing the word soldiers made Arya’s brow furrow deeply. His thoughts immediately turned to Prince Purbaya, who despised him.The handsome young man stood up as the pain in his arm subsided. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, locked onto its prey.“You just mentioned a prince and soldiers, didn’t you? Was
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Explosion of Fire Dragon Energy
Experience is the best teacher. The black-clad figure had already felt his hands go numb from the previous clash. He had no desire to experience that again if their weapons struck with full force.However, Ratnasari's speed increased as she infused her inner energy, making it impossible for her opponent to dodge every attack from the beautiful swordswoman.With no other choice, the black figure blocked the sword strike aimed at the side of his neck.Tiiing!A sharp, ear-piercing clang echoed through the silent night.The figure abruptly released his red staff, letting it drop to the ground. He then jumped back, frantically shaking his burning hand."Impossible!" he gasped. He felt his staff grow scorching hot upon clashing with his opponent’s sword. That was why he had to abandon his beloved weapon.Not wanting to waste the opportunity, Ratnasari swiftly followed up with another attack. Both her swords slashed through the black figure’s body, slicing him into three pieces."Aaaakh!" A
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Soldiers’ Confusion
That night, Prince Purbaya could not close his eyes at all. His mind was haunted by the thought of his arrogance, which he had built for so long, about to crumble. He considered it only natural for a noble like him to be arrogant—after all, he had something to be proud of. It was a different matter if arrogance came from someone of the Sudra caste or the lowest social class.Prince Purbaya’s two soldiers, exhausted and in dire need of rest, had no choice but to stay up with the heir to the Cakrabuana throne until morning.They had to endure their fatigue and drowsiness, which felt like a rain of arrows in battle, lest they face punishment. They knew that Prince Purbaya was infamous for his cruelty in punishing his subordinates.As dawn approached, Prince Purbaya finally managed to close his eyes, though only by forcing himself to do so. The 25-year-old Crown Prince reminded himself that he had to compete in the third round of the tournament held at the Jaya Buana royal palace.In the

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
