The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Mysterious Gazes of the Villagers
"Because you need to feed your girl," Rengga replied with a mysterious smile. "Why should I be the one to do it?"Arya glared at Rengga, who laughed as he walked out of the room.Two days passed quickly. The Tundra Moss had worked well in treating and healing Ratnasari’s wounds. The beautiful girl now looked as fresh as if she had never been injured.During their time at the Sacred Staff sect Arya took the opportunity to practice horseback riding. He intended to prepare for the long journey ahead. Apart from participating in the tournament in the royal capital, they also needed to help Chandra, who had lost his family due to the actions of Sidharta and Sudaraksa.At noon, under the blazing sun, the two of them bid farewell to Rengga and set out for the royal capital of Jayabuana. Riding a large white horse with a black tail, they trotted along the rocky path.It would take them about three days at most to reach the capital, following the directions given by Rengga.As evening approac
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Ambush in the Forest
Arya opened his eyes. Slowly and silently, the seventeen-year-old boy sat up, sharpening his senses. He noticed that Ratnasari was sound asleep."Who are they?" he muttered, questioning himself. He closed his eyes, concentrating to sense the energy coming from outside the room.From what he felt, several people were approaching and had stopped in front of his room.The young man grew suspicious of their presence. He suspected their arrival might have something to do with the warning from the old servant who had urged them to leave the village.However, his suspicion dissipated when the group eventually left the area in front of his room. No more whispers could be heard.A long sigh marked Arya's relief. The handsome young man lay down again and closed his eyes. Soft snores soon escaped his lips, lulling him into the world of dreams. The drowsiness was too much for him to resist.The next morning, even before the sun had risen in the eastern sky, Ratnasari opened her eyes. Her slight m
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Strange Demon
I apologize, the chapter Ambush in The Forest should be placed under the chapter The Mysterious Gazes of the Villagers and vice versa. I want to revise it, but since the editor is still on leave, the chapter can only be revised and returned to its proper position tomorrow.****Arya halted his horse. His sharp gaze scanned the men standing before him, one by one, as he assessed the energy emanating from them.“What is your purpose in stopping our journey?” Arya asked, his tone calm yet firm. He was curious whether they were merely common robbers or had some other sinister intent.“Hahahaha... Our purpose? Isn’t that such a trivial question, young man?”Arya and Ratnasari turned toward the familiar voice that came from behind them.“Sumi...?” Arya muttered in disbelief. He had never imagined that the innkeeper would be part of the group blocking their path.“Why so surprised, handsome young man? You’d better surrender now and not resist if you don’t want to get hurt,” Sumi said, her l
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 Sound of Battle
"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."
A Secret Unveiled
"Are you sure you want to know who your real parents are, Purbaya?" King Wijaya Kusuma asked.Prince Purbaya nodded slowly. "Father said he found me in the forest while hunting. Is that true, Uncle?"King Wijaya Kusuma pondered how to reveal the long-buried secret to Prince Purbaya. He was hesitant to tell him, especially in front of so many eyes in the hall.He looked around, noticing everyone waiting for him to speak."Soldiers, untie Purbaya's hands!" he commanded the two soldiers standing behind Prince Purbaya.One of the soldiers quickly obeyed, releasing the ropes binding Prince Purbaya's hands."Stand up, Purbaya!" King Wijaya Kusuma instructed.Prince Purbaya was stunned and disbelieving. The order seemed strange, considering he was a war criminal who should have been sentenced to death.Still consumed by curiosity, Prince Purbaya stood up. His gaze remained lowered, not daring to look at the ruler of Jaya Buana."Now, come with me!" King Wijaya Kusuma walked towards a room, f
The Last Request
The Last RequestArya was growing impatient as the king and his son refused to drop their weapons. "Drop your weapons or I'll assume you're both still intent on fighting!" he roared.Prince Purbaya obeyed Arya, carefully laying his sword on the ground. He stood up again, but kept his gaze lowered.King Dharma Kusuma reacted differently. He couldn't bear to live with the shame of defeat. He couldn't accept his loss in the war. It was better to die than to live with such humiliation, he thought.The nearly fifty-year-old man drew his sword. Not to lay it down in surrender, but to fight to the death."I'd rather die than surrender!" King Dharma Kusuma declared, pointing his sword at Arya.Prince Purbaya was shocked by his father's attitude. He never imagined his father would choose a path so different from his own."Stop, Father...! You won't be able to defeat him. Grandmaster couldn't even win against him, how can you?" he pleaded, grabbing his father's arm."It's not about winning or l
