The demon cursed in frustration as its attack missed the target. But suddenly, a wide grin spread across its face upon seeing a beautiful girl watching their battle.

A wicked intent instantly surfaced in Sumi’s mind, whose soul was now completely possessed by the Crocodile Demon. Without hesitation, she ran away from Arya and rushed toward Ratnasari, who was hiding behind a tree.

Several long-range attacks launched by the Crocodile Demon shot forward with incredible speed, knocking down the tree Ratnasari had used for cover. No matter where the beautiful girl tried to escape, the demon’s energy strikes relentlessly pursued her.

Arya clicked his tongue in annoyance, seeing his beloved become the target of the enemy’s attacks. He immediately darted after the Crocodile Demon, unleashing a long-range strike to divert its attention from Ratnasari’s life.

A streak of red light shot out from the tip of the Fire Dragon Sword, moving so swiftly that it was invisible to the ordinary eye, aiming

    The End of a Long BattleJust before the Fire Dragon Sword landed on his body, the Crocodile Demon forcefully stomped his right foot on the ground and propelled himself several meters to the side.Realizing that his opponent was able to evade his attack so quickly, Arya immediately reduced his strength, ensuring that the energy slash hitting the ground did not cause catastrophic damage."It seems you're starting to run out of energy, Human!" The Crocodile Demon chuckled softly. He assumed that the young man's power had drastically diminished after executing his latest attack.In his mind, if the young man had not been exhausted, the impact of that attack would have caused severe destruction. Based on this reasoning, he concluded that his opponent was weakening.Arya pretended to smile wryly. He actually preferred it when his enemies underestimated him."You should just surrender, weak Human. I will grant you a quick and painless death if you give up, hahaha!" The demon's loud, triumph

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   The Gaze of the Princess

    Before the soldier could vent his emotions, a luxurious horse-drawn carriage, escorted by about twenty mounted soldiers, approached the city gate.The gatekeepers immediately straightened their posture, bowing their heads and keeping their gazes fixed on the ground.As the convoy stopped near the gate, a man in his forties, riding a large black horse and leading the group, steered his mount closer to the gate guards."What’s going on, soldier? I saw from afar that you were in a dispute.""My apologies, Lord Bayu Aji… but this young man insists on entering the Royal City. He claims he wants to participate in the upcoming tournament, but I have forbidden him."The man named Bayu Aji shifted his gaze toward Arya and Ratnasari. Unlike the gate guards who cowered before him, the handsome young man and the beautiful girl stood firm, showing no trace of fear."Is it true that you want to enter the tournament?" Bayu Aji asked gently."Yes, my lord. Is there a rule that prohibits someone like

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Conflict at the Inn

    Upon arriving in front of a large, three-story inn, Arya and Ratnasari leaped off their horses. After tying the reins to a wooden post, they entered the building. Several other horses, belonging to the inn’s guests, were also tied there.In addition to being an inn, the building also served as a dining place. The second and third floors were for lodging, while the ground floor functioned as a restaurant.The atmosphere on the ground floor was lively. Not a single table was unoccupied—every seat was taken, and the guests were packed closely together."It looks like there's no empty table, Ratna. How about we book a room first, then find food elsewhere?" Arya suggested."Whatever you think is best," Ratnasari replied.The young warrior pair made their way toward the staircase leading to the second floor. Their striking features did not go unnoticed, drawing lingering stares from the mostly male patrons. Ratnasari, in particular, stood out

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Love Comes Uninvited

    Most of the inn’s visitors were also going to participate in the upcoming tournament, so unnecessary conflicts would only bring harm to themselves.After leaving the place, Arya and Ratnasari headed to another eatery not far from the palace. Though it also had three floors, the restaurant itself was larger than the inn where they were staying. People came and went, and nearly all of them were dressed like warriors.It seemed the upcoming tournament had become a magnet for warriors eager to test their fate. Of course, this was a blessing for the residents of Capital. Many homes had turned into makeshift inns since all official lodgings in the city were already full.Merchants, especially food vendors, were reaping great benefits. In fact, almost every business was flourishing thanks to the grand event hosted by the palace.Meanwhile, inside the palace, the beautiful young woman who had been in the carriage earlier and had locked eyes with Arya at the main gate was now sitting in her ch

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Prince Purbaya

    Arya took a deep breath. He thought the bald-headed man needed a lesson so he wouldn't bother him again. However, the handsome young man reconsidered attacking Darsono right then and there. The place was still crowded, and a commotion could attract unnecessary attention."If you want to cause trouble with me now, then you'll have to deal with Lord Bayu Aji. But if we meet on the stage later, he won't be able to do anything. So I suggest you hold back your anger and unleash it when you finally face me," Arya said.Darsono growled in anger. The tall, muscular man had no choice but to accept the handsome youth's advice. He had originally intended to beat him up and take the girl who was with him. Not only as a mere drinking companion but also for his sinister intentions toward her curvaceous body."This time, you get to walk away. But when we meet on the stage, I will break your bones!" Darsono threatened."Say whatever you want. But I suggest you start praying that we never meet on that

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Challenge

    Arya remained silent, only giving a small nod in response to the words of the tall, burly soldier.Before long, Bayu Aji was already near them. The Grand Senapati of the Jayabuana Kingdom saluted Prince Purbaya, who maintained his arrogant demeanor despite standing before Jayabuana’s war commander."Welcome to the Jayabuana Kingdom, Prince. Why didn’t you inform us beforehand if you were planning to come here?"Prince Purbaya looked at Bayu Aji with a scornful gaze. "Whether I inform you or not, what business is it of yours? This is my uncle’s kingdom, so I am free to come here whenever I please!"Bayu Aji took a deep breath. His attempt to formally welcome the Crown Prince of Cakrabuana was met with an unpleasant response."My apologies, Prince... but may I ask your purpose in coming here? I mean, why are you standing in line at the registration area?""Do you see me standing in line? I am the Crown Prince of Cakrabuana. Do you really think I should be pushing through the crowd just

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   Tournament Registration

    BerikuRemembering Princess Laras's message, Bayu Aji took the initiative to ask the young man in front of him a question. "What is your name, young man?""My name is Arya, Sir.""Alright, Arya... Wait here! I will register you," Bayu Aji said."There is no need, Sir. I would rather stand in line like the other participants. I am not someone special who deserves special treatment, so I think you should register Prince Purbaya instead."Besides not wanting to cut in line, Arya certainly did not want anyone to know that he was also registering Ratnasari for the upcoming tournament. The beautiful girl was currently waiting for him at a small eatery near the royal square.Bayu Aji took a deep breath and nodded before walking toward the registration table to register Prince Purbaya.After leaving the square, Prince Purbaya and his four soldiers hurried toward the palace. His goal was to meet his uncle and inform him that his father had ordered him to participate in the tournament.Upon arr

  • The Sword Of The Fire Dragon   The Opening of the Tournament

    "So, you're not just bluffing, beautiful girl! It looks like I'll have to use force to get you!" Darsono licked his lips, his desire growing stronger."If you can, then do it! But don't regret it if I kill you!" Ratnasari replied. Her slender fingers fastened her twin swords back onto her back.Some other customers hurriedly ran out of the tavern. They knew a fight was about to break out and wanted no part in it.The elderly woman who owned the tavern could only remain silent, resigned to the fact that her only source of income was about to become a battleground for two warriors. Her face looked weary, and her eyes glistened with tears that would soon fall.The tall, burly man’s emotions boiled over. With firm strides, he charged toward Ratnasari, launching his attack.His large fist shot toward the young woman’s chest. But with just a sidestep, Ratnasari easily dodged the opening strike. Not only that, she counterattacked, landing a precise hit on the man's stomach, pushing him back

  • The Redeemer of Mistakes

    Misfortune truly befell the spy. His skull shattered, and its contents scattered after Rengga's strike landed with brutal precision.Rengga's arrival immediately changed the course of the battle. Ratnasari was just as fierce, cutting down the spies one by one as their focus was now divided.In a relatively short time, Rengga and Ratnasari managed to slaughter all their enemies, leaving none alive. Their gazes then shifted toward Arya, who was facing Abhinaya and Abhirama.FlashbackThe unease filling Arya’s mind regarding the state of Jaya Buana after his departure drove him to train relentlessly. He poured all his focus into mastering the Shadow Claw technique—an art of extraordinary complexity.Forty meters away from Arya’s training ground, Wira Atmaja could only shake his head, astonished at the young man's rapid progress in such a short time. Even the most naturally gifted warriors would struggle to achieve Arya’s level within the sam

  • The Power of Love

    English Translation (with "Dirga" changed to "Arya")In sync with Abhirama’s shock, Abhinaya even rubbed his eyes in disbelief at what he was witnessing. A handsome young man had suddenly appeared, standing in front of the man they were both attacking. He wasn't just standing there; he had become a shield, protecting their opponent’s body.Moreover, his body emitted a bright red aura filled with an unusual energy—an energy that neither of them could detect.On the other hand, Rengga still had his eyes shut. His thoughts made him feel as if he were no longer alive. He was certain that the explosion he had just heard was the end of his life.But his assumption changed when he heard Abhinaya speaking, seemingly addressing someone."Who are you, young man? Why are you interfering in our business?"Rengga opened his eyes. Before him stood someone with his back turned. Someone he knew very well, even though he had not yet seen his face

  • Farewell

    A massive explosion echoed through the air. Sparks scattered, igniting dry leaves and spreading the fire even further.The sheer force of the blast nearly leveled the burning village. Only a few buildings remained standing, but it was only a matter of time before the flames consumed them.In the capital city of Jaya Buana, soldiers looked up at the billowing smoke rising into the sky. Their curiosity grew even more intense when the sound of the explosion reached their ears.They were confused about what had happened. However, some soldiers who had seen Rengga and Ratnasari leave the city assumed that the smoke, fire, and explosion were all caused by them.Though the thick smoke and dust still obscured their vision, Abhinaya and Abhirama were confident that their attack had struck their opponent with deadly precision.Not wanting to waste any more time, Abhinaya channeled his internal energy to clear the dust and smoke. He waved

  • Demon Shadow Circle Formation

    Rengga’s doubts turned out to be correct. Slowly but surely, the twin-faced old warriors began to pressure him. His left arm even got slightly grazed by the tip of Abhinaya’s sword, which he failed to parry. However, he still had confidence in holding his ground with the sword in his grasp.Although it wasn’t a direct hit, it was enough to prove that these two were not to be underestimated. It made sense that Abhinaya and Abhirama were Mandalasura’s right-hand men in controlling the Shadow Demon Sect.Elsewhere, Ratnasari had already drawn her Black Eagle twin swords. Despite being individually superior to the people surrounding her, they had a formation that made things difficult for her.Her black-bladed swords moved swiftly, blocking attacks. It wasn’t that she wasn’t trying to break through their formation, but every time she attempted a counterattack, two or three strikes came at her simultaneously. That made it incredibly difficult for her

  • Rengga vs. The Twin Demon Warriors

    Rengga’s demeanor aroused Abhinaya’s suspicion. Furthermore, as Abhirama’s blood brother, he also felt insulted by the smirk on the thirty-year-old man’s lips.However, accusing them without proof could lead to serious consequences for him and his younger brother. After all, Reksapati’s great name as Ratnasari’s father could not be ignored. Accusing the beautiful young woman without valid evidence was the same as inviting trouble with the leader of the Devil’s Eagle Sect.Abhirama closely examined the corpse of his subordinate. There were no visible wounds or blood, strengthening his suspicion that Ratnasari was the one who had killed him. The young woman had the ability to take a life without leaving any external injuries."Answer our question! Were you the ones who killed him?" Abhirama pointed at the lifeless body.Ratnasari and Rengga did not respond immediately. They exchanged glances before shifting their focus beyond the two elder

  • Certainty

    Rengga and Ratnasari turned around and faced backward almost simultaneously. They saw a man dressed entirely in black standing near a large tree, displaying a hostile demeanor.The scout had no choice but to step out of hiding. He didn’t want the man and woman to leave before he understood why they had burned down the village. However, his elders hadn’t arrived yet, which put him at risk if he tried to stop them alone.He realized that his life was in grave danger if he insisted on confronting them. Judging by their physical characteristics, he could tell they were skilled warriors.Since the black-clad man showed no intention of advancing, Rengga and Ratnasari decided to take the initiative. They walked toward him.“Damn it...! Why are they coming this way?” the scout cursed internally, regretting his decision to reveal himself.He glanced behind him, hoping his comrades had arrived, but he saw no one. His face paled, and fear

  • Burning the Village to the Ground

    Rengga and Ratnasari took turns explaining the enemy’s current position.King Wijaya Kusuma furrowed his brows in deep thought as he listened to their report. In terms of numbers, Jaya Buana had more soldiers than Cakrabuana. However, with Mandalasura likely joining the enemy ranks, King Dharma Kusuma now had a powerful asset—a trump card that could shift the tide of war in his favor.The discussion continued as King Wijaya Kusuma invited Rengga, Ratnasari, and Prime Minister Bayu Aji into his private chamber.Given the urgency of the situation, he found it difficult to trust even his own officials. He feared that the strategy he was about to finalize with the three of them might be leaked.Rengga estimated that the enemy would arrive the following evening, just before nightfall. It was unlikely they would attack immediately. They would certainly use the night to rest and regain their strength.For King Wijaya Kusuma and the palace inhabi

  • The Appointment of Rengga

    A lead soldier walked toward Rengga and Ratnasari. His gaze was downcast, and his eyes were teary after witnessing his comrades being slain."My Lord...," he said softly, unable to hide the sorrow consuming his mind.Rengga sensed the deep pain the lead soldier felt. "Do not dwell in such grief. Death is inevitable and will come to all living beings. They fell as heroes and will always be remembered as such. Trust me, their sacrifice will not be in vain.""Understood, My Lord. Then what should we do with our fallen comrades?""We will bring their bodies. They are heroes and must be buried with honor," Rengga replied.The lead soldier nodded. He took a moment to think before turning away to gather the fallen warriors’ remains.Not long after, the Jaya Buana royal troops began their journey back to the capital. At the very least, they would report the initial victory they had just achieved, boosting the morale of the rema

    A lead soldier approached Rengga and Ratnasari. His gaze was lowered, and his eyes glistened with tears after witnessing his comrades fall in battle.“My lord…,” he spoke softly, unable to hide the sorrow overwhelming his mind.Rengga sensed the grief the lead soldier was feeling. “There’s no need to dwell in sadness like this. Death is an inevitability, something that all living beings must face. They died as heroes and will always be remembered as such. Trust me, their deaths will not be in vain.”“Yes, my lord. Then, what should we do with our fallen comrades?”“We will bring their bodies back. They are heroes, and they deserve a proper burial,” Rengga replied.The lead soldier nodded, taking a moment to think before walking toward the gathered bodies of his fallen comrades.Before long, the Jaya Buana royal army began their journey back to the capital city.
