JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
The Long Struggle of the Swordsmen

"That's after Kanjeng Majikan Ndoro Pendekar Umbaran passed out, I carried Ndoro into this house. The Lightning Swordsman and Shadow Swordsman then channeled the pure air of deep energy into the back of Kanjeng Majikan Ndoro Swordsman, but Ndoro did not also wake up.

Well all night I stand guard here after others rest", said Gendol while patting his chest as if he was the most meritorious.

"If it's Resi Simharaja, where is he?", asked Jaka Umbaran later.

No one answered, from the back of Resi Simharaja stepped into the old house. The middle-aged man in all white clothes like a hermit was immediately approaching where Jaka Umbaran was.

"Hamba here Your Majesty", replied Resi Simharaja while bowing respect to the Swordsman of Mount Lawu.

"As I recall, last night you bit two stray dog heads. How are your injuries?", Jaka Umbaran took a peek at the tip of his hair to the tip of Resi Simharaja's leg as if looking for the injured part of his body. But he found nothing in the body of the former demon king Alas Roban. While Resi Simharaja smiled widely when he heard the question.

"We are a tiger demon, having the ability to heal bodily wounds just by licking existing wounds, Your Majesty. So the bite of the stray dog would not be able to make the servant die so easily", hearing Resi Simharaja's reply, Jaka Umbaran breathed a sigh of relief.

"You must not continually refer to me as His Majesty, Resi Simharaja. One could misunderstand me thinking I was a noble.

Just call me Umbaran or Ndoro Umbaran like Gendol if you don't mind", Resi Simharaja nodded in understanding what this young swordsman meant.

"Well how about that old wiku corpse, Adhi Sadewa? Have you taken care of?", continued Jaka Umbaran later.

"I've thrown the corpse of the perverted wiku to Kali Comal, Kakang. You don't have to worry about it anymore" said Locana the Shadow Sword.

"Alright if everything's in order..

What about Kali Comal? Has the flood receded?", Jaka Umbaran stared at Sadewa as he got up from his seat.

"Permadi and Juwana I sent to see the situation, Kakang. Maybe they'll be here soon" Sadewa replied soon.

After the arrival of Permadi and Juwana and received a report on the state of Kali Comal which has not flooded anymore, Sadewa as the leader of the group decided to immediately continue the journey. They immediately left the place.

After crossing the Kali Comal, they continued to move west precisely towards the headquarters of Golok Sakti College in the Kali Gung Valley which is the meeting place of martial artists.

Whhhuuuggghhhh..

Thhrraaanggg!!!

Dhhhaaasshhhh!!!!!

A beautiful girl who uses a blackish purple kemben, a, wearing a few bow in a long and jet-black bun with a red scarf embedded in front of the chest seemed to regulate his hunting breath after a sword fight with a middle-aged woman with pretty good clothes. The beautiful girl seemed to wipe the sweat that soaked her forehead.

"Come Rengganis... Don't be complacent, you need to practice more to improve the sharpness of your five senses" said the middle-aged woman dressed in a dusky purple robe while twisting the sword hilt in her hand.

The beautiful girl called by the name of Rengganis immediately let out a long sigh before darting back quickly towards the middle-aged woman while swinging her sword back towards this old woman.

Whhhuuuggghhh..

Thhrrriiiiinnnggg!!!

The moves by the moves passed quickly. The body movements of two different women of this age are flexible but also fast and deadly. Rengganis itself looks agile and segesit the teacher in the fight between life and death.

The Rengganis who had managed to dodge the old woman's sword slash which turned out to be her teacher jumped back a few steps then quickly channeled a deep power into the sword blade in her right hand. A cold, dim blue light was created from the chant coming out of the sword. Rengganis turned the hilt of his sword and quickly slapped the sword towards the teacher.

A cloth-thin cold sword light shot towards the middle-aged woman quickly. Without any hesitation, the middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful immediately swung her sword slashing towards the dim blue thin light.

Whhhuuuuutttthu...

Yyyyyassshhhh...

Blllaaaaaarrr blllaammmmmmm!!!

The dim blue light in the cold was split open and slashed to the right left side behind his body. When it struck the two large chunks of rock behind it, a streak of explosions rang out. The middle-aged woman smiled broadly at all of that.

"That's great, Rengganis..

It's no waste that I've painstakingly taught you the Science of the Nine Swords of Heaven. You are truly talented", said the beaked woman as she put the sword back into its sheath.

Rengganis immediately stored his sword into a sword sheath that was tied to his waist. The beautiful young woman immediately stepped closer to the teacher.

"You are the daughter of my best friend Prabhaswara, of course you are as talented as your father who was a great swordsman. Don't be so low-key, Rengganis.

Oh yes, soon we arrive at Golok Sakti College. There will be many great warriors present. Keep your attitude there" said the middle-aged woman who has a big name in the martial world, Nyai Larasati the Angel of the South Wind.

"Murid understands Master", replied the Rengganis respectfully.

The two immediately collected their goods that were deliberately placed on a rock under a shady tree where they rested. Both came from the southern region of Java Island precisely from the Duchy of Paguhan which is the westernmost region of the Kingdom of Panjalu. They have traveled many days to the Kali Gung Valley to attend a gathering of martial world warriors held every 4 years.

After finishing cleaning the goods, Nyai Larasati the Southern Wind Angel and her only puppet disciple Dewi Rengganis immediately stepped out of the place.

After the two were quite far away, at the crossroads near the Kali Gung Valley, they passed by a group of people wearing red clothes with black headbands. Looking at those traits, they came from one college.

A slightly thin, middle-aged man with a slightly tapered face with one canine tooth that looked like a bat tooth protruding out from his left mouth was seen leading this red-clad entourage of people. A strange smile was etched on his lips. His sparse moustache and thin long beard further add to the strangeness on the face of the man who may be around 5 decades old.

Yes, he is a Red Kalong God, the leader of the Red Bat College and professor of silat college based at the south foot of Mount Wilis. Although his appearance was strange, but this middle-aged man was not an arbitrary swordsman. Among the fighters of the martial world of Jawadwipa Land at that time, the big name of Lord Kalong Merah is not something that can be underestimated. His famous Ajian Claw Kalong Demon had a high crushing power, making this slightly thin middle-aged man so respected by many.

"Wah-wah, apparently I'm in luck this time. There was a beautiful woman who could only walk. What a pity.

Heh, Nyai Larasati.. So poor you can't afford a horse? Hahahaha", the mockery of the Red Kalong God who was immediately greeted with laughter by his followers.

"The taste is getting older, your mouth is getting out of control huh Kalong bangkotan?

Do you think you're so rich with your makeup that it stays shabby like you only have those clothes? It's a shame ", Nyai Larasati replied no less sadistic.

"Bad!!!

Obviously you are the one who looks like a cranky, but even insulting others at will. Basic swordsman does not know the manners ", the Red Kalong God began to be upset with Nyi Larasati's reply.

Both of the swordsmen of the martial world Jawadwipa Land do have problems in the past. Both of them had fought for a mustika stone that could make the energy in a person increase rapidly. But finally this mustika stone was actually lost in stolen from them by someone called as the Maling Devil when the two met the science of magic. This is what caused the two to be involved in a long feud.

"Your mouth is indeed poisonous, Kalong bangkotan!

Do you think I'm afraid of your cave bat claw science? If you're really a swordsman, get down here. Do not just talk a lot!", challenge Nyai Larasati who is furious with the talk of the Red Kalong God.

Ohhuuiiiiiihhhh..!!

"Female curse! I've been patient since, but you keep not giving me face. Today, I will make you see the greatness of my canoeing!!", the Red Kalong God spat violently onto the ground, then jumped high into the air. The skinny middle-aged man did indeed have the science of lightening a tall body.

Above the air, the Red Kalong God changed his body movements and slid down rapidly towards Nyai Larasati while swinging his left hand wrapped in a pointed-tipped iron glove towards Nyai Larasati.

Hshrrraaaaaakkkkkh...

This middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful at her age who was no longer young immediately pulled out the sword on her waist and fended off the iron claw slash of the Red Kalong God as fast as lightning.

Thhrrriiiiinnnggg!!!

As soon as his attack on Nyai Larasati field, the Red Kalong God twisted his body and threw a hard kick towards Nyai Larasati's chest. This Teacher Dewi Rengganis immediately traced the ground until his body bouncy backward a few steps back. As soon as he tracked the ground, Nyai Larasati came back forward by thrusting his sword towards the Red Kalong God who had just tracked the ground.

Not to be outdone, the pointy-tipped iron glove on the left hand of the Red Kalong God instantly gripped the sword blade that had almost pierced through his neck. The dark red old man's right hand immediately rushed forward, aiming for Nyai Larasati's chest.

This slender-bodied middle-aged woman immediately welcomed the arrival of the Red Kalong God site attack with her left palm shining bright green.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

A fierce explosion was heard as the two palms clashed. The Red Kalong God receded several spears backwards as well as Nyai Larasati. The energy levels in these two people are indeed balanced.

The two were preparing to continue the fight but suddenly a thin white light slash swiftly pierced into the middle of their fighting arena.

Whhhuuugggh...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Both Lord Kalong Merah and Nyai Larasati the Angel of the South Wind alike turned their heads towards the arrival of the swift attack. A stocky middle-aged man with a slightly distended stomach smothered a short cleaver along two hands stepped towards them. With a slight exertion of deep energy at the throat, the long-haired man by the boat immediately made a sound,

"Do you two not appreciate me?"
