"People like you are not worthy of being allowed to live!" he threatened. His sharp fangs could be seen protruding from the corners of his mouth.

Sarwana's attack, executed with great speed, forced one of the attackers to retreat as they were pushed back. At the same time, he added energy to make his movements even faster.

"This filthy monkey's speed keeps increasing," muttered one of them. The fear creeping into his chest was growing stronger.

Sarwana moved toward another person and attacked again with incredible speed. Just as his close-range strike was about to land, Kelana Jati’s staff flew through the air and struck his arm, redirecting the attack.

"Grrrrrghhh!" Sarwana hissed, glaring at Kelana Jati, who had attacked from a distance.

Just as he was about to retaliate against Kelana Jati, three more warriors moved together, launching an attack.

Three different weapons were launched at Sarwana, forcing him to dodge quickly. However, a sword strike suddenly appeared from behind, aiming for his head. Sarwana quickly parried it with his hand.

The clash of the two energies resulted in a powerful explosion. The attacker from behind was knocked back and rolled on the ground, while Sarwana didn’t budge at all from where he stood.

"If you hadn’t attacked together, I would have already defeated you," Sarwana sneered.

The six other warriors could only stare wide-eyed, amazed at how strong the big monkey’s hand was in deflecting a sword. They hadn’t expected the thick fur to be immune to weapons.

"You don’t need to be so surprised! This fur of mine cannot be pierced by lowly weapons like yours!" Sarwana once again tried to provoke the warriors.

Ignoring Sarwana’s attempts to stir up their emotions, the six warriors moved together, launching a series of fast and deadly attacks. They weren’t sure if the thick monkey fur would always be invulnerable to their weapons.

One sword strike landed directly on Sarwana’s back while he was busy dodging four other attacks.

The big monkey was pushed forward a few steps. Although he wasn’t injured at all, thanks to his thick fur protecting his body, he could still feel the impact from the blow.

"Calm down, everyone. I’m sure he can still be hurt!" yelled the man who had landed the sword strike on Sarwana's back. "We just need to keep attacking!"

Sarwana smiled upon hearing this, "If you think you can pierce this fur of mine, then do it! But before you touch me again, I’ll be the one to take your lives first!"

The fur-covered body of Sarwana, colored brown, was suddenly enveloped in a golden aura. In the blink of an eye, a golden staff appeared in his hand.

"Fine, if you’re forcing me to go further!" he said, exuding an intimidating aura.

The seven warriors, now gathered again, stared in awe at the golden aura emanating from Sarwana’s body. Not to mention the golden staff, which radiated such immense energy that it pressed down on all of their bodies.

Of the seven warriors, Kelana Jati, the oldest among them, was intrigued by the golden staff in Sarwana’s hand. His curiosity wasn’t about wanting to possess it, but he had heard of a golden staff once owned by the leader or king of the monkey people, who once resided in the Hua Kuo Mountains in China.

From the stories he had heard, the strength of the Monkey King was so great that even the Celestial Palace, inhabited by powerful gods, couldn’t withstand his rampage. Eventually, the Buddha had to intervene directly.

"Could it be that this staff was passed down to him?" he thought to himself. (Does anyone know who Kelana Jati is referring to?)

Not wanting to assume too much, Kelana Jati ordered the other six warriors to unleash their ultimate techniques.

Without hesitation, the seven of them attacked again. The battle became intense in an instant. The attacks from the seven warriors did indeed force Sarwana into a corner, but their strikes still couldn’t pierce the thick fur of the great monkey who ruled the Panguripan valley.

Let alone touch Sarwana’s thick fur, even their weapons couldn’t penetrate the golden aura shield surrounding him.

The power of the seven warriors increased, and they kept trying to overpower Sarwana. But all of their efforts seemed futile, and they were only wasting their inner energy.

Each weapon that touched Sarwana’s golden aura shield resulted in a loud explosion, and this repeated clash only drew more warriors to the scene.

"I’m done playing with you!" Sarwana shouted loudly.

The great monkey then withdrew half of his energy, creating an explosion of power from within his body.

The seven warriors were sent flying backwards, forced to leap away to avoid the pressure of the energy radiating from Sarwana’s body. No matter how far they retreated, the pressure from Sarwana’s energy burst still couldn’t be avoided.

In the end, they had to use their inner energy to withstand the immense force pressing against them.

The explosion of energy from Sarwana was also felt by Hydra, who was inside the Fire Dragon Sword. Coincidentally, the negotiation to have the sword accept Arya’s blood had been approved, with one condition.

Hydra hurriedly left the Fire Dragon Sword to meet Arya.

"Quickly, drip your blood again. There’s a major battle happening in the forest!"

"Is it Sarwana...?" Arya asked, curious.

"From the energy I feel, it seems so," Hydra replied without hesitation.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Arya squeezed more blood from his body and dripped it onto the Fire Dragon Sword’s hilt.

The sword, with its reddish blade, suddenly emitted a bright light. The energy released was immense.

"Hurry, pull it out and wrap it with your clothes!" ordered Hydra.

Without hesitation, Arya drew the Fire Dragon Sword, which was firmly embedded in a rock. His body immediately trembled violently the moment he pulled out the powerful sword.

"Aaaaakhhh!"

Arya screamed as loud as he could. He struggled to endure the overwhelming power entering his body. Luckily, the pain only lasted a few seconds. If it had lasted any longer, he wasn’t sure he could have borne it.

Hydra looked at Arya, smiling faintly. He was now certain he had made the right choice. Anyone who could withstand the power released by the Fire Dragon Sword was no ordinary human, he thought. In history, no human had ever been able to endure the strength from the Dragon Realm.

Suddenly, he remembered the energy explosion he had just felt. "Arya, get on my back!"

    Meanwhile, Kelana Jati and Darmawisesa found themselves once again facing Sarwana. Neither of them had time to consider the two young men who had arrived, as Sarwana immediately blocked their path as they attempted to attack Arya."I will fight you!" Sarwana roared, swinging his golden staff toward Kelana Jati. The immense power unleashed by the ruler of the Panguripan chasm created a deafening sound that echoed through the forest, rattling their ears.The old man barely had time to evade. He raised his own staff to block the golden staff's swing, aimed straight for his head.Boom!A deafening explosion reverberated through the forest. Leaves scattered into the air, and thick dust billowed, obscuring the view.Blocking the attack proved to be a grave mistake for Kelana Jati. Despite channeling all his internal energy to counter it, his body was flung backward, crashing into a massive tree that splintered under the impact.Lying on the ground, Kelana Jati coughed up fresh blood. His ey

    When the young man accompanying Arya stood nearby, Sarwana immediately threw a question at him, “Who are you, really? Why have you transformed yourself into a human?” Without any formal introduction, Sarwana bombarded Hydra with questions.Seeing the suspicious expression on the giant ape’s face, Hydra smiled. “Didn’t you already see me earlier?”“When?” Sarwana replied.Hydra answered by tilting his head upward.Sarwana was taken aback. He understood where the young man before him was looking. “So, you are...? How did you get here and meet Arya?”“You’d better ask Arya why I’m here. It’s because of him that I ended up stranded in the human world.”Arya chuckled softly before explaining to Sarwana how the veil concealing the Dragon World had been torn due to the expansion of his inner energy.The giant ape couldn’t contain his shock. The Dragon World, which he had always thought to be a mere myth, turned out to be real. And now, one of its inhabitants stood before him.“There’s no nee

    Ronggo's sly smile vanished in an instant. He had just been thinking of taking advantage of the deaths of five members of the Falcon's Devil sect, but now a direct rebuttal echoed in his ears.A heavy sigh escaped the wrinkled lips of the old man. If his initial plan was to pit the Falcon's Devil Sect against that giant ape, he would now need to rethink his strategy. It had to be a well-thought-out plan to kill two birds with one stone."About those two young warriors, have you ever seen them anywhere else aside from that forest?" Ronggo shifted his sitting position, as his thin frame could no longer endure sitting in the same posture for too long."Never, Master. We don’t know who those two young warriors are, but they’ll surely be a major obstacle for you to obtain the sacred sword," replied his tall, burly disciple."Then who are they? Are they disciples of that giant ape?" Ronggo asked further."Seems unlikely, Master. The two young warriors have completely different fighting styl

    Back to the Panguripan AbyssIn the midst of Arya's training, Sarwana approached him and started a conversation. “Arya, I’ve received another report from my people about suspicious movements in the forest. I’m not feeling well right now; could you go check it out?”Seeing Sarwana’s pale expression, Arya nodded. “Leave it to me. You should rest!”After receiving directions from Sarwana, Arya leapt high into the trees, swiftly and gracefully hopping from one branch to another.Upon arriving at the location Sarwana had pointed out, the handsome young man observed the scene from a tall, dense tree. He hid behind a massive tree trunk, making it nearly impossible for anyone to detect his presence.Not long after, Arya squinted his eyes, spotting an old man in black robes with a small frame walking toward the tree where he was hiding.The old man scanned his surroundings, as though searching for something. In his hand was a wooden staff that appeared ordinary, but Arya could sense an immense

    “Prepare to meet your end!” shouted Suromenggolo, his body darting forward at an astonishing speed.Arya smiled as his experimental attempt bore fruit. He could now track the rapid movements of his opponent.With a single push-off from the ground, Arya dashed forward to intercept Suromenggolo’s attack, which he could now see clearly. A fierce high-level battle immediately erupted.Explosions of energy erupted repeatedly, both large and small. Their bodies were frequently thrown backward, but they both swiftly resumed their close-range combat.Boom!A powerful attack from Suromenggolo sent Arya flying far back. His chest tightened, and his breathing grew labored. Suromenggolo, too, was pushed back, though not as far as the handsome young man.Arya shook his head. He realized that this opponent couldn’t be taken lightly. Even his serious efforts faced difficulty; underestimating him was out of the question.Both fighters rose to their feet once more. Although Arya’s inner energy strengt

    Arya swallowed hard. Of course, he couldn't suppress the shock invading his mind. The ability to make rain fall was an extraordinary power, in his opinion."I know you haven’t used your full potential, young man. But I don’t care—you still must die to pay for your sin of slaughtering my disciples!" Suromenggolo's voice was deeply intimidating. But it didn’t affect Arya. He had to give his all to protect anyone from approaching the Abyss of Panguripan."First of all, thank you for extinguishing the forest fire. But if you wish to continue this fight, go ahead! I won’t retreat even a single step to defend this forest!""Hahaha... I admire your spirit, young man. It’s rare to see someone as spirited as you."In his heart, Arya was puzzled to see his opponent’s condition—without a single scratch. He was also fully aware that his opponent’s strength far surpassed his own.The handsome young man began recalling all the techniques he had memorized. Having already mastered three techniques, A

    "Proof that you're still alive and well, right?" Sarwana chuckled. "And about those trees, the time will come when you'll do the same. If a battle occurs in the forest, the fall of trees is one of the inevitable risks."Arya could only sigh deeply. There was no way he could win an argument against the two of them, who were far more experienced. But there was something to be grateful for: if he hadn’t fought the Hydra earlier, he might never have mastered the pinnacle technique of hand-to-hand combat from the Dragon King’s manual.His daring decision to use a technique he had never trained for had yielded significant results. Now, all he needed to do was refine and perfect it.Meanwhile, Ronggo and his seven disciples, who were on their journey, were startled by an explosion in the sky. They stopped and looked up to figure out what was happening."Master, what was that explosion?" asked one of Ronggo’s disciples."Do you think I’m a god who knows everything, Rengga?!" Ronggo snapped, c

    Arya merely shifted his body slightly, allowing the red beam to shoot past just a few inches in front of him. As he dodged, a smile spread across his face—mocking, almost taunting his opponent’s attempt."Don’t you have anything faster than that?" Arya sneered."You arrogant brat! That was only the beginning!" shouted Monk Red Venom.The old man in all-red attire leaped forward, raising his staff high before swinging it down, aiming straight for Arya’s head."Die!"Blaaar!Monk Red Venom grunted in frustration. The powerful strike he launched missed completely, striking only the sandy ground and sending a thick cloud of dust into the air. His vision was quickly obscured, leaving him unable to see where his opponent had gone.Fortunately, the strong mountain wind soon dispersed the dust cloud. When visibility returned, the old man saw that the young warrior was no longer in front of him."Don’t you run

    The beautiful girl narrowed her eyes, gazing up at the mountain. With her heightened sense of hearing still sharp, Ratnasari tried to locate the source of the battle."Arya, there's a fight. The sound is coming from up there!" Her slender index finger pointed to a spot."If you train your senses often enough, you can hear even the slightest sound without needing deep focus. You can even sense someone's suppressed energy, though the limit is usually only if their inner strength is no more than one level above yours," Arya explained."Really? But didn’t you once say we can’t sense the energy of someone whose level is above ours?" Ratnasari asked."That was my old thinking. But during my disappearance, I learned many new things, some quite different from the usual beliefs of most warriors," Arya replied. His gaze returned to the spot Ratnasari had pointed out earlier."We’d better go check it out up there," he added."Hmm.

    "Forgive me, but I can't believe you've stepped down, My Lord. To me, you are still the Grand Commander—an irreplaceable war leader. I have seen firsthand how you organize the troops, both in offense and defense," said Nara.Arya raised an eyebrow. "Were you part of the archery unit?""Yes, My Lord. I was among the archers led by Lord Rengga when we attacked the enemy in a valley flanked by hills," the soldier replied."Sit down first. I’ll explain everything. To be honest, I don't like being treated like that," Arya said."I'm sorry, My Lord, but I wouldn’t dare. It's not my place to sit at the same level as you." The soldier kept his gaze lowered, fearfully.Arya looked displeased at the refusal. "That’s an order! Sit next to me—now!" he said firmly.Overcome with fear, the four men quickly rose and sat down in the guard post.The atmosphere shifted drastically. Previously, Karso and the others had spoken to

  • Suspicion

    Watini's imagination soared into the air. As a village girl who had never set foot outside her hometown, she imagined that all the young men in the capital city must be just as handsome as the guest currently in her village.She tried to suppress the rush of blood that surged when she saw Arya. Deep down, she knew her place and felt she had no chance competing against Ratnasari, whose beauty was above average."Come on, Ratna," urged Watini. Staying there any longer would only stir her youthful emotions further and torment her imagination, she thought.Ratnasari nodded and walked alongside Watini toward her house.“Is that girl your lover? Oh, and what’s your name, young man?”“My name is Arya, Uncle.”“And the girl?” the man asked again.“She is indeed my lover. We’re planning to visit some relatives in Sastrajingga, the royal capital,” Arya answered with a made-up story.“I see. You two make a very fine couple—handsome and beautiful,” the man said with a warm smile. “My name is Kars

  • The Last Tribute

    Rengga could only nod slowly. He knew very well who Arya was and what his nature was like. The young man had never once put himself first before thinking about others. In his heart, Rengga promised to keep the message the young man had given him. To prioritize the interests of the people over his own personal interests. As the afternoon approached, Arya and Ratnasari bid farewell to King Wijaya Kusuma, Prime minister Bayu Aji, Rengga, and all the officials present in the palace hall. The departure of the pair of warriors who had been consecrated as the great heroes of the Jaya Buana kingdom left sadness for everyone who knew and understood their exploits. Unexpectedly for Arya and Ratnasari, their departure plans leaked out and spread throughout every corner of Capital. Since noon, almost all the residents of Capital had gathered in a row along the road from in front of the palace to outside the gate. They w

  • Divine Will

    A huge question immediately popped into Arya's mind. "What could the Jaya Buana ruler possibly want in my room at this late hour? Is it something so important that he had to come see me?" "Why are you so surprised to see me? May I come in?" King Wijaya Kusuma asked, his smile radiating strong friendship. The question startled Arya, who was still frozen in shock at the sudden arrival of King Wijaya Kusuma. "Oh, uh... Please, Your Majesty. Consider it your own home," the young man replied, opening his room door wide. King Wijaya Kusuma chuckled softly. "How could you possibly tell me to consider your palace my home?" "Oh, yes..." Arya became even more awkward and flustered at the small mistake he had made. King Wijaya Kusuma walked into the room and chose a chair to sit on. After closing the room door, Arya walked towards the king. As he was facing a king, Arya stood with his head bowed. "Hahaha

  • Ratnasari's Threat

    Embarrassed? Of course, Prince Purbaya felt ashamed to have to apologize to Ratnasari. But he felt he had to do it if he truly wanted to change his ways. Step by step, the younger brother of King Wijaya Kusuma approached Ratnasari. It wasn't out of fear of Arya, but because he had made up his mind to become a better person. Standing before Ratnasari, Prince Purbaya bowed his head. All eyes in the hall were on him. "I apologize for all the wrongs I have done to you," he said, not daring to look at Ratnasari's face. Shame was the most accurate word to describe his current feelings. Ratnasari, still angry at the man, turned her face away. Coincidentally, Arya was looking at her and gave her a slight glare. With a nod, the handsome young man signaled for his lover to forgive Prince Purbaya, even if it was just a formality. Ratnasari put on a sour face. In her heart, she found it very difficult to forgive Prince Purbaya. But be

  • Suspicion

    Watini's imagination soared. As a village girl who had never even left her village since she was a child, the girl, the same age as Ratnasari, assumed that all the young men in the Capital City had the same kind of handsome features as the guest in her village.The rush of blood flowing through her veins when she saw Arya was suppressed. She realized that she had to compete with Ratnasari, who possessed above-average beauty."Come on, Ratna," Watini invited. Staying there for too long could make her young blood boil and torment her imagination, Watini thought.Ratnasari nodded and followed Watini towards her house."Is that girl your lover? Oh, by the way, what's your name, young man?""My name is Arya, Uncle.""And that girl?" the man asked again."She is indeed my lover. We were planning to visit our relatives in Kotaraja Sastrajingga," Arya answered with an alibi."I see. You two make a very good couple, handsome and beautiful." The man smiled warmly, "Let me introduce myself, my n

  • Regret

    Prince Purbaya sat in quiet contemplation. The truth he had learned was bitter, from his defeat in war to being considered a disgrace by the father he had always thought was his grandfather. But on the other hand, he was also happy that the truth about himself had been revealed."If you don't mind, where is my mother now? Is she in this palace?""I'll take you to see her later. Right now, I need to focus on rebuilding the damage in Kotaraja," King Wijaya Kusuma replied."Forgive me, Brother." Prince Purbaya whispered, his heart touched by the sincerity of the Jaya Buana ruler.King Wijaya Kusuma nodded and smiled faintly. "Your apology won't mean anything if there's no change in your attitude and character, Purbaya. It all starts with the intention in your heart.""Yes, Brother. I realize that everything I've done has been wrong. The worldly temptations around me have blinded me. I couldn't tell right from wrong. I considered everything the same, and what I did was the truth itself."
