The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Power of the Crocodile Demon
Sumi moved in a random pattern, ending with a claw strike aimed at the handsome young man's face.The claw strike was easy to avoid, but it was followed by a lightning-fast attack from Sumi's tail.Thud!Crash!Arya failed to dodge in time, causing his body to be hurled several meters away, crashing into a massive tree."The power of her tail is incredible!" Arya felt a tightness in his chest after being struck by the tail. Although it didn’t cause severe internal injuries, the sharp pain already overwhelmed him.Before the handsome young man could recover, Sumi launched another swift attack that he couldn’t evade.Once again, Arya’s body was flung far, even farther than before. This time, not just one tree fell under his impact but several at once. Fortunately, the Fire Dragon energy within his body still managed to provide some protection.“Why do you seem so weak, Human? Where is the strength you displayed earlier with such arrogance?”Arya rose to his feet, grimacing as he endured
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Crocodile Demon’s Doubt
"You think you can fight me, Human? Your abilities are nothing compared to my power!"Arya furrowed his brows. What he heard was no longer Sumi's voice, but another voice that seemed to dwell within her body. It was deeper, with a slight hissing undertone, like a snake."You can try if you dare, ugly creature!"The handsome young man didn’t hesitate. He immediately summoned his Fire Dragon Energy to fight back. However, he had to calculate his attacks carefully to avoid destroying the forest."What kind of energy is that, Human? Who are you really?" The voice wavered slightly, revealing the doubt in the creature inhabiting Sumi's body."You don’t need to know who I am! Along with the body you’ve possessed, I’ll send you straight to the god of death!" Arya retorted.Without waiting any longer, Arya dashed forward to attack. His Fire Dragon Sword, already imbued with a considerable amount of energy, instantly radiated a bright bluish glow.The initial slash of the Fire Dragon Sword was
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Redirecting the Target
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 Sword Of The Fire Dragon The End of a Long Battle
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

Keeping Watch
The large brown horse ridden by the head soldier galloped swiftly through the forest. As the day was nearing nightfall, he urged his steed forward as fast as possible to return to the grand formation of the Cakrabuana Kingdom's army.Just before the sun left the earth for its resting place, the head soldier finally halted his horse. He had arrived amidst tens of thousands of soldiers who were setting up tents in the forest.According to the plan, this place would serve as the command center for the upcoming attack. The largest tent, designated for King Dharma Kusuma, stood majestically among the hundreds of tents of various sizes surrounding it.In terms of distance from the capital city of the Jaya Buana Kingdom, the location was approximately two kilometers away. King Dharma Kusuma had deliberately chosen this site as the central point for the attack. The vast natural landscape, consisting of large trees, served as a natural fortress against su
Surprise
King Dharma Kusuma was intrigued by the change in Mandalasura's facial expression. Before he could even ask, Mandalasura spoke first."Dharma, order the troops to continue the journey!""What is it, Master? Does it have anything to do with the thick smoke the soldiers reported?" asked King Dharma Kusuma."Just follow my orders and don't ask too many questions!" Mandalasura snapped.King Dharma Kusuma felt a slight irritation at Mandalasura's reprimand. After all, he was a king who ruled over a kingdom. Mandalasura's outburst made it seem as if he had no authority or dignity.However, King Dharma Kusuma lacked the courage to protest against the old man known as the Shadow Devil Warrior. His status as both a mentor and the leader of the dark sect in the southeastern region made King Dharma Kusuma feel inferior.There was nothing he could do but suppress his frustration. He needed Mandalasura's help to seize the Jaya Buana
Premonition of Mandalasura
A sharp, piercing scream escaped from Abhirama's lips. The old man could not withstand the sword strike that pierced his stomach. He had managed to parry Ratnasari's blade aimed at his neck, but at the same time, his lower defense was left open, allowing the sword in Ratnasari's left hand to slash through without obstruction.Abhirama’s abdominal wall was torn wide open. His internal organs spilled out, emitting an unbearable stench.Even Ratnasari, who was accustomed to bloodshed, nearly vomited. Her stomach churned violently as the foul odor from Abhirama's entrails assaulted her nostrils."Hueek!"The beautiful young woman could no longer suppress the nausea overwhelming her. She retched, emptying her stomach of everything she had consumed.Hurriedly, Rengga and Arya, who had been standing side by side, approached Ratnasari, who was crouching as she vomited."A warrior throwing up like that?" Arya teased. His eyes flicked toward Abhirama, who was now lifeless. He narrowed his gaze
The Demon-Slaying Sword
The flames raged even wider. The two warriors fought within the scorching inferno. Strangely, they seemed unaffected by the searing heat.Arya gave no opportunity for the elder of the Shadow Demon Sect to stabilize himself. He continuously unleashed a combination of long-range and close-combat attacks, making it increasingly difficult for Abhirama to evade.The old man was truly cornered. There was nothing left for him to do but dodge and flee, prolonging his existence in the world."Damn it! This young man hasn't lost any of his internal energy at all!" Abhirama cursed unconsciously.Arya sneered upon hearing the spontaneous outburst from Abhirama's lips. "If it's just to fight you, I wouldn't even lose half of my internal energy, old man!"The handsome young man paused for a moment, ceasing his pursuit of Abhirama. His sharp, intimidating gaze remained fixed on the old man. Whatever was running through his mind was known only to himself and the gods.Arya's sudden inaction puzzled A
Approaching the End of the Battle
The handsome young man was actually impressed by his opponent’s ability to vanish, and he was intrigued to learn it. Of course, his goal was to perfect it so that his energy could not be detected by his target.Arya's thoughts were correct. The Shadow Illusion technique used by Abhinaya was actually the foundation of a technique that had already been perfected by Mandalasura, known as the Fading Shadow technique. Essentially, Abhinaya’s technique could still be detected because it was not yet fully developed.After his attack was evaded, Abhinaya's movements became even faster and more varied. The rapid shifts of his feet and hands made Arya more focused on observing him.The young man was astonished by Abhinaya’s close-range attack pattern, which seamlessly combined offense while simultaneously covering any defensive gaps."There’s no opening at all!" Arya muttered in his heart.He sharpened his vision and focused on every move
Shadow Illusion
"Don't be too confident that you can defeat me, Young Man... Feel my attack!" Abhinaya leaped high into the air, then shot forward quickly, drawing his sword and swinging it towards Arya's neck."Storm-Sweeping Sword!"Arya's instincts kicked in immediately. He hadn't expected that in the final moment, his opponent would draw his sword and slash toward his neck. The young man pulled his body down to evade the attack.The energy released from Abhinaya's sword struck the ground hard, scattering sand and small stones, creating a thick cloud of dust that obscured visibility.But it didn't stop there. Seeing his opponent in a disadvantaged position, one of the elders of the Shadow Devil Sect launched another rapid attack. Arya used his footing as a springboard to leap backward.Once again, a thick cloud of dust billowed into the air as the soft earth at the forest's edge was struck by the energy blast from Abhinaya's sword. As a result, severa
Demon Body Technique
Abhirama dashed forward once again, slashing his sword toward Arya, who remained remarkably calm despite the deadly, energy-charged attack aimed at him.The warrior of prophecy did not stay idle. He swiftly sidestepped, allowing Abhirama's powerful strike to pass harmlessly through empty space.Abhirama did not let up. He continued pressing the attack at close range, occasionally launching long-range energy strikes to disrupt his opponent’s focus.But so far, Abhirama could only grit his teeth in frustration. Every attack he unleashed struck nothing but empty air.Unwilling to accept his repeated failures, Abhirama leaped even higher. At the same time, he unleashed over a dozen energy blades in succession.Arya swiftly dodged the onslaught, but one of the elders from the Shadow Demon Sect relentlessly pursued him, refusing to let him escape.Long-range attacks kept raining down, yet the elder failed to realize that the young and handsome warrior was deliberately luring him closer to A
"Shadow Sword Cyclone"
"Bastard...! What kind of warrior are you? Why did you attack me when I was off guard?" Abhirama snapped in frustration.Arya chuckled mockingly. He understood well that dark-path warriors always believed themselves to be in the right."Don't black-path warriors hold the principle that any means necessary should be used because victory is all that matters? And that is exactly the principle I am using to fight against you."The handsome young man knew that his attack earlier would have no real effect except causing pain in his opponent's head.If his powerful kick had struck a mid- or lower-tier warrior, their head would have shattered instantly. But because his target was a skilled warrior, there was no major impact."It is only natural for dark-path warriors to use any means to win. But you... aren't you a light-path warrior? Why are you using such dirty tricks?" Abhirama retorted, mocking Arya in return."Who said I belong to the light path?" Arya furrowed his brow. "For me, darknes
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
