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 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 Perfection of the Shadow Veil Spell
The soldiers around the three warriors instinctively moved away. None of them wanted to get caught in the aftermath of the fierce battle taking place — a battle that could easily end their lives. In their minds, it was better to die fighting than to die as collateral damage from someone else’s battle.Meanwhile, the fight between Arya and the Shadow Demon Warrior grew fiercer than ever. Arya was even forced to draw nearly half of his Fire Dragon energy and channel it into his body in order to withstand and counter the opponent's technique, which appeared increasingly strange and unpredictable in his eyes.On the other hand, Mandalasura couldn’t hide his admiration for Arya's skill. He truly didn’t expect that the young man standing before him would be able to read and counter his Shadow Step technique so effectively. Impressed yet pressured, he poured in even more power — over half of his strength — to intensify his attacks.However, up until now, Mandalasura still hadn't unleashed hi
Arya vs Mandalasura 2
The ground struck by Mandalasura's stray energy attack instantly exploded, creating a large crater. Arya briefly turned his head toward the explosion before shifting his gaze back to his opponent, who stood not far from where he was.Mandalasura's sharp eyes glared at Arya, burning with rage. But then, his focus suddenly shifted to the sword hilt peeking from behind the young man's back.His brow furrowed as he sensed the enormous energy radiating from that sword. Even in the darkness, he could faintly see a reddish aura emanating from behind the young man.Mandalasura suspected that the sword Arya possessed was one of the most powerful sacred weapons in the martial world. However, he could not be completely certain until the blade was drawn from its sheath."Hand over that sword! You are not worthy of possessing it!" he shouted forcefully.Arya was startled by the old man's words. He had never expected that the founder and leader of the Shadow Demon Sect would covet his sword."He re
Arya vs Mandalasura
Following the direction pointed out by Ratnasari, Mandalasura turned his gaze back toward Arya. His eyebrows knitted together in disbelief at the news he had just heard. It was even more unbelievable because the one accused of killing two notorious leaders of the dark sect was merely a young man.Indeed, the young man in question clearly possessed skills, judging by what he was capable of doing at that moment. But to the extent of killing Sumoharjo and Sutojoyo? That was absolutely impossible — it sounded completely absurd and fabricated.A second later, loud, unrestrained laughter burst from the wrinkled lips of Mandalasura. The old man's body shook violently, unable to control the laughter that had surged beyond his limits. This old man was famously known for rarely laughing. Even when he smiled, it was only when absolutely necessary.None of the soldiers from either side dared to stand near the old man. The energy seeping from his body was unbearable. The pressure was so intense th
Ratnasari vs Mandalasura
Both of the young man's fingers were already drenched in the blood of his victims. No matter what kind of clothes they wore, the sharpness of Arya's claws easily tore through their flesh, ripping it apart down to the bone.Like a cold-blooded killer, the handsome young man still managed to flash a faint smile every time he finished off an opponent.What was reflected on Arya's face instilled terror in the minds of the enemy soldiers targeted by him. It was no wonder that those soldiers desperately tried to avoid facing Arya directly.The young man then grabbed two swords lying nearby. His sharp gaze locked onto a group of Cakrabuana soldiers standing before him. Fearful of becoming the target of his slaughter, the soldiers instinctively kept stepping backward."Aaaakh!"Their lack of focus on their surroundings gave Jaya Buana's soldiers the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Uninvited slashes and thrusts struck them down in
The Breached Gate
Heart-wrenching screams echoed in succession from the mouths of the Shadow Devil Sect members as they fell lifeless to the ground, deadly wounds piercing their vital points.The severely limited visibility made it impossible for Mandalasura's disciples to predict where the attacks were coming from. They also had no idea when the unseen strikes would claim their only life.The thick smoke truly became a serious disturbance. They could have swung their swords wildly, but more likely than not, their slashes would end up injuring their own comrades.Running away from the city wall was not an option either. On one side, the towering and solid wall was impossible to climb without the help of ladders or grappling ropes. On the other side, the moat, ablaze with roaring fire, could easily roast them alive.Waiting for death in silence was certainly not a choice they would accept easily. They had to make every effort to survive this sudden slaught
Fire Trench
The verbal slap delivered by King Wijaya Kusuma made the officials bow their heads in shame. None of them could utter a word to refute the question posed by the ruler of the Jaya Buana Kingdom."Aren’t you ashamed of Prince Jayalaksana, Rengga, and Ratnasari, who are standing at the very front, risking their lives for the sake of the Jaya Buana Kingdom? Who are those three? Let me tell you something — even if Prince Jayalaksana wasn’t the Grand Commander, he would still fight on our side," King Wijaya Kusuma continued.Without waiting for any response from his officials, King Wijaya Kusuma turned and strode out of the hall. The king, who had entered his fifties, was determined to leave the palace and fight alongside his soldiers.As soon as King Wijaya Kusuma left the hall, the officials, whose hearts had been stirred, hurried after him. Of course, none of them wanted to be branded as disloyal to their king.Meanwhile, the battle outside grew fier
Mandalasura’s Intelligence
Prince Purbaya swallowed hard. What a terrifying war tactic the old man beside him was executing. Yet, when he saw how well-prepared the enemy was, Prince Purbaya could still understand the sacrifice strategy that Mandalasura was implementing.Even so, Prince Purbaya couldn’t help but feel anxious that the sacrifice of his soldiers might end up being in vain.“I understand, Grandmaster. So, what shall we do next?” he asked.Mandalasura didn’t immediately answer. Instead, he turned around and waved his hand at Commander Kartasura, who was already standing ready with ten thousand soldiers behind him. In the hands of these soldiers were shields made of thick iron.After that, Mandalasura also signaled to his eight hundred disciples to move forward first.The fifty-year-old commander understood the signal Mandalasura had given. Without hesitation, he shouted an order for his troops to advance.Following Commander Kartasura’s command,
Sacrifice
On the other side, Prime Minister Bayu Aji deeply regretted the failure of the trap he had carefully devised. As someone with considerable experience, he felt like he had failed to anticipate the enemy’s intelligence in reading his strategy. He should have prepared a backup plan in case his initial plan failed.The forty-year-old Prime Minister chose to sit, leaning against the wooden wall of the watchtower. His eyes stared blankly at the archers who had taken their respective positions. He felt unworthy of the title he carried.If I failed right from the beginning, how will things turn out later? His heart was torn apart by the bitter truth invading his thoughts.Seeing Prime Minister Bayu Aji’s condition — drained of spirit — Arya stepped closer to him. He held the man's shoulders and helped him stand up."Should a leader show weakness in front of his subordinates?" Arya asked firmly.Prime Minister Bayu Aji looked at Arya's face. The y
The Art of War
Mandalasura’s speed and the lightness of his body as he floated through the air to catch the flying arrow left everyone watching stunned — including Arya and Rengga.Ratnasari reacted the same way. But unlike the others, she wasn’t surprised by Mandalasura’s ability — she was shocked because the figure she saw was someone familiar. Someone she had once seen deep within a forest.Her suspicion turned out to be true. Mandalasura had violated a principle that had been upheld by the Black Sect for hundreds of years — a principle that stated the Black Sect would never interfere in royal politics, especially by siding with any kingdom in a war between two rulers.If Sastra Wijaya, the leader of the Black Sect from the Eight Directions, were to find out about Mandalasura's violation, he would likely explode in anger. He had warned his followers time and again not to dare get involved in the political intrigues of kingdoms. Almost every gathering, he would emphasi
