"Black Eagle's Strike!"Sastro was startled and tried to block the attack, but his efforts were in vain. Ratnasari's body suddenly twisted sideways and spun rapidly, slashing her sword toward the back of the old man's neck.Aaagh!A scream of death escaped the wrinkled lips of the elderly man.Ratnasari's attack was so swift and precise that Ki Sastro didn't even realize the movement had changed until it was too late.The old man collapsed to the floor, his neck nearly severed. Blood poured out profusely, pooling on the ground and adding a pungent metallic scent to the air.Ratnasari slid her twin swords back into their scabbards and walked toward Arya."Compensate the owner of this eatery for the damage," Arya instructed.Ratnasari nodded and approached the middle-aged woman who stood frozen, staring blankly at the destruction of her business."I apologize for the damage caused, ma’am. I will compensate you," Ratnasari said with a faint, polite smile etched on her red lips."There’s
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Merchant's Request
"Who are they?" Ratnasari asked curiously."I don't know. We need to stay alert; they could be part of the bandits," Arya replied. His sharp eyes darted toward Chandra, who had been silent all this time. Even when the three of them were bracing for the arrival of strangers, the young man dressed in fine clothes remained unresponsive.Moments later, the man who had stopped their journey finally halted his horse near the cart."Excuse me, sir. May I ask where you are headed?" the man inquired."We’re going to the Sword of Light Sect," Arya replied. Judging by the sword the man carried, Arya suspected that the man on horseback was also a warrior."And where are you headed, Sir?" Arya continued."Actually, I’m escorting the merchant behind me through this forest," the man answered, glancing behind him.Arya and Ratnasari looked at the approaching horse-drawn cart that was now close to their position."So, are you planning to pass through this forest with us?" Arya guessed."That’s right,
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Robbery in the Middle of the Forest
"Who are you? Get down now!" shouted one of the men."What if I don’t want to? What will you do?" Arya teased while snapping a tree branch into small pieces."You bastard, get down here now!" another man yelled angrily."Hehehehe... Why don’t you come up here instead?" Arya chuckled, playing with their nerves."Climb up and catch him!" ordered a voice from behind.One of the men eagerly began climbing the large tree. But as he reached halfway up, he let out a loud scream and suddenly fell to the ground, hitting the earth with a sickening thud.Seeing their comrade fall, two men rushed to check on him. They were shocked to find that he was already lifeless."He's dead," one of them confirmed grimly."Impossible! Falling from that height wouldn’t kill him!" the other argued as he stepped closer.Just as the man crouched to inspect the body, he felt something pierce through his neck. The intense burning pain was overwhelming, and he collapsed lifelessly to the ground, unable to fight for
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Eradicating the Bandits
Without looking, the leader of the bandits spun around and slashed his sword in one swift motion.Clang!The loud sound of clashing metal echoed through the silent night. The tall, broad-shouldered man winced in pain as his sword vibrated violently, leaving his hand numb from the force that traveled through his bones.His eyes widened in disbelief when he realized that the one who blocked his attack was a young woman of stunning beauty. He was so shocked that he couldn’t suppress his reaction.“Impossible!” he muttered under his breath.“What’s impossible? The only certainty tonight is that you’ll meet your end!” Arya growled as he emerged from behind Ratnasari.The sound of a gulp was faint but audible. The Adam’s apple of the tall, burly man bobbed up and down, a clear sign of his fear reaching its peak. His knees trembled, and cold sweat drenched his clothes.“This forest is no longer safe with you and your men around. Starting now, the terror you’ve wrought comes to an end. Don’t

The rank of Senopati typically oversaw thousands of soldiers and was positioned below the commander-in-chief.I use the names of places, kingdoms, or characters as they were during ancient times.****"Thank you both so much. If fate brings us together again, I’d like to treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude.""There’s no need to think about that, Sir. Isn’t it our duty as humans to help one another?" Arya smiled warmly at Sora. "Now, we must continue on our journey.""You must continue too. Until we meet again," Sora replied, waving his hand.The two horse-drawn wagons went their separate ways. Sora took the straight path toward the capital city of the Jayabuana Kingdom, while Arya and the others headed toward the Sword of Light Sect.The journey, now relatively close to its end, allowed them to relax slightly. The sect, located at the foothills, was no longer far away. The sight of the tall hill fr
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Tournament Postponement
"How many days does it take to reach the Capital City?" Arya continued to ask."If you take the main road, it will take about five to six days. But there’s a shortcut that can reduce the journey to just three days," Rengga replied."That means I’ll depart tomorrow at noon!" Arya declared firmly. His gaze then shifted to Chandra. "Don't worry, Chandra. Your grudge will be avenged.""I’ll go with you, Arya," Ratnasari interjected.Arya smiled and nodded.Meanwhile, Sumoharjo’s group finally arrived at the forest where the battle between Arya and Sutojoyo had occurred. Some minor setbacks delayed their journey.Sumoharjo frowned as he observed the damage in the forest. The ominous feeling he had been trying to suppress resurfaced as his eyes took in the scene before him."Order your men to spread out and find out what caused this destruction!" he commanded Tunggul Anom."Yes, Elder." Tunggul Anom nodded and summoned one of his subordinates.After receiving brief instructions, the member
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon A Shocking Attack
Together with Ratnasari, Arya chose to train not far outside the Mystic Staff Sect. The handsome young man deliberately picked an area outside the sect complex to focus better on his training. Besides, he wanted to learn Ratnasari’s techniques and help her refine them further.By the fifth day, something unexpected shocked everyone inside the Mystic Staff Sect.The wooden gate suddenly shattered, producing a loud crash. The explosion startled everyone in the sect.Dozens of members who were practicing immediately stopped their training and ran toward the gate. Rengga, who also heard the commotion, was no exception. The 30-year-old leader of the Mystic Staff Sect sprinted to see what was happening.As the dust cleared, carried away by the wind, dozens of members from the Flaming Spear Sect could be seen standing in front of the ruined gate."What have you done?!" Rengga shouted angrily, his sharp gaze directed at the dozens of red-uniformed men who had disrupted his sect.Hahaha!Tungg
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Sumoharjo's Emotions
Arya smiled at the confusion on Ratnasari's face. "Just answer as you see it, and don't hide anything."Ratnasari nodded slightly and took a deep breath. Her gaze returned to Sumoharjo, who was still intently staring at her."What he said is true, Elder. And we were the ones who deliberately lured Elder Sutojoyo away from the Devil's Eagle sect. In essence, it was the two of us who trapped him."Arya looked shocked at Ratnasari's additional words. He had hoped she wouldn't get involved in the fight that was about to begin. "Why did you say that?""Why not? Isn't it true that we were the ones who trapped Sutojoyo? Don't take all the responsibility for what we did alone," Ratnasari replied.For some reason, Sumoharjo still couldn't believe that the handsome young man had killed Sutojoyo. It was possible they were both pretending to cover up the identity of the one who actually killed his close friend."Don't think I believe the charade you've put on. And you, Ratnasari, even though you'

An Unexpected Surprise
Arya and Sanjaya pretended to be shocked upon seeing the soldiers emerge from the back door of the abandoned house."Forgive us, Sir. We have done nothing wrong," Arya pleaded."Silence! We have orders to capture both of you. Resisting means choosing death!" one of the soldiers snapped."W-We surrender, Sir. But please, don't hurt us," Arya said, placing his hands behind his neck and kneeling.The handsome young man's actions were immediately followed by Sanjaya, who did the same."Hahahaha... You are in no position to negotiate. Whether you'll be punished or executed, that’s up to Master Sidharta."Arya was waiting for the soldier to mention Duke Sudaraksa’s name, but it seemed they were strictly keeping their leader’s identity a secret."Quickly, seize these two brats and take them to Master Sidharta’s house! We’re going to get a hefty reward, my friends! Hahahaha!" ordered one of the soldiers, laughing loudly at the thought of the gold that would soon fill his pockets.Four other s
Caught
Suddenly, the index finger of the Kartosuro house guard pointed at Arya after confirming his identity. Six soldiers and another guard immediately shifted their gaze in the direction of the pointing finger.“Damn it!” Arya muttered under his breath before quickening his pace as the six soldiers moved toward him.His suspicion that Sanjaya’s arrival had been discovered turned out to be true. Moreover, Caraka’s statement that the search for Sanjaya had resumed was also proven correct. Now, he needed to return to the eatery as quickly as possible to inform Sanjaya.But something unexpected caught the handsome young man’s eyes. The eatery where Sanjaya had been hiding was now tightly shut. Even when he knocked on the door, there was no response.Arya’s suspicion toward Caraka grew. He suspected that the middle-aged man had betrayed them and informed Sidharta’s men that Sanjaya was hiding in his establishment.“Damn it!” Arya cursed in his heart again. He had no problem fighting off all of
Arya's Suspicion
While keeping his ears open for any visitors, Caraka answered the question directed at him, "I got the information after I accidentally overheard a conversation between two of Sidharta's special guards who happened to be eating at my place.""What information?" Arya asked again. He was extremely curious about the continuation of Caraka's story."So, the search for Sanjaya has resumed because a fortune teller told Master Sidharta that a young man would come and eliminate him and also Duke Sudaraksa." Caraka's voice was so low that only the two young men could barely hear it."That's why Sidharta hired two warriors to guard him," Caraka continued."So, Duke Sudaraksa knows about this prophecy?""He should know," Caraka replied briefly."Strange. If Duke Sudaraksa knows, then the soldiers must have..." Arya suddenly fell silent."What's wrong, Arya?" Sanjaya asked, confused."The soldiers know that you’re already in this duchy. Especially since earlier, you mentioned wanting to visit Unc
Meeting with Caraka
Four soldiers guarding the gate watched their arrival with sharp eyes. Even when the two dismounted their horses, the scrutinizing and suspicious gazes from the soldiers became even more intense.From head to toe, the two young men were thoroughly examined, fueling the soldiers’ suspicion.Arya was slightly surprised by the soldiers' reaction to their arrival. Based on his quick analysis, something must have happened inside the Jayakerta duchy."What is your purpose for coming here?" one soldier asked suspiciously."We are visiting a relative, sir," Sanjaya quickly replied. Following Arya’s instructions, since he was more familiar with the people of the duchy, he was given the freedom to answer any questions from the soldiers."Who are you visiting?""Mister Kartosuro. His house is in the alley near the duchy’s palace." Sanjaya answered calmly and firmly.One of the soldiers narrowed his eyes at Sanjaya’s face. He found it strangely familiar, but he couldn’t recall where or when he ha
Heading to the Duchy of Jayakarta
The second goal had yet to be conveyed to his father, but he was certain that his father would support whatever he intended to do.On the seventh day after Arya's inauguration as the Grand Commander of the Jaya Buana Kingdom, the soldiers assigned to retrieve Sanjaya finally returned to the palace.When the soldiers arrived at the Sacred Staff Sect to fetch him, Sanjaya was initially reluctant to leave for the palace. He clung to Arya's past words, believing that the handsome young man would personally come to get him.However, after the soldiers explained that Ratnanasari’s beloved had already been appointed as the Grand Commander and showed him Arya’s official uniform as proof, Sanjaya finally agreed to go with them to the Jaya Buana royal palace.One of the soldiers then escorted Sanjaya to the hall to meet Arya. However, the handsome young man was at the town square with Ratnanasari, watching the continuation of the tournament, which had reached the round of thirty-two. Sanjaya d
Defense
"Why did I choose Arya for the position of Grand Commander? Because he has a pure heart and always wants to be useful to others. Arya also has intelligence far above your average minds. And third, Arya's martial arts skills surpass all of you—even me and Bayu Aji!" King Wijaya Kusuma's voice thundered through the hall.The room fell into complete silence. No one dared to make a sound, not even the faintest breath, for fear of disturbing the king’s presence."Do you think I made this decision without careful consideration? For those who question my judgment, I now give you the chance to challenge Arya. If you can surpass him in all three aspects, I will appoint whoever defeats him as the Grand Commander!"Kertapati and his like-minded officials fell silent, unable to utter a single word. This was the first time they had heard King Wijaya Kusuma speak with such firmness and authority."I never expected my subordinates to be so narrow-minded. It turns out that all this time, you have onl
Pros and Cons
After King Wijaya Kusuma decided to appoint Arya as the Grand Commander and Bayu Aji as the Prime Minister, preparations were rushed at an incredible pace. The soldiers worked tirelessly, exerting extra effort to ensure that everything was ready for the coronation ceremony the next day.However, the king’s decision sparked controversy among the court officials, especially those who had served the palace for a long time. The opposition believed that the ruler of Jaya Buana had been unfair in his decision. They argued that the position of Grand Commander should have been given to someone who had significantly contributed to the kingdom, rather than to a young man whose origins were unknown.A group of officials gathered in a lavish house to discuss the matter. They planned to protest King Wijaya Kusuma’s decision at the coronation ceremony itself.Before they knew it, the night passed swiftly, and morning arrived with the warmth of the sun illuminating the world.The hall where the coro
Revenge
Bayu Aji was also eager to know Arya's true reasons. His sharp gaze was fixed on the young man who had greatly impressed him."I was destined to be someone who must be useful to others. There are still many out there who need my help, Your Majesty." Arya paused to take a breath, then exhaled slowly to steady his lungs."And the position of Grand Commander will not remain vacant, Your Majesty. I have an acquaintance who seems fit for the role. He possesses exceptional martial skills and a sharp mind," he continued."Who?" King Wijaya Kusuma straightened his posture, intrigued by the person Arya was referring to."Rengga, Your Majesty. He is the leader of the Sacred Staff Sect. However, he is currently deepening his martial arts training in a secluded place. Based on my estimate, his training will be complete in one or two months."King Wijaya Kusuma smiled broadly. His hope of reinstating the position of Grand Chancellor in his kingdom was reignited."I trust that the person you recomm
A Title for Arya
After filling their stomachs, the two young and handsome warriors hurriedly left the tavern and made their way to the palace.Inside his private chamber, King Wijaya Kusuma was engaged in a serious conversation with Commander Bayu Aji regarding a report from the royal soldiers."So, the sword Arya used to kill one of the Black Eagle sect leaders emitted a reddish glow, Your Majesty. Based on my experience, a sacred weapon that releases a red aura must contain an element of fire," said Commander Bayu Aji.King Wijaya Kusuma smiled broadly. His suspicion that Arya was the one who had killed four dark-path warriors was not misplaced at all."Arya must be the one who killed those three Blood Demon members, Bayu. I have no doubt about it now. But to be certain, I will test him with some questions."Commander Bayu Aji smirked slightly at the king’s words.Not long after, there was a knock on the door of King Wijaya Kusuma’s private chamber.Commander Bayu Aji walked over and opened it.
