JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
The Same Direction

Hearing the words of his mortal enemy, the Blue Devil immediately sharpened the vision in the direction indicated by the glare of the Red Devils eyes. There were indeed two kinds of breathing that were vaguely felt from a distance. One breath was so calm and the other breath was similar to the breath of a savage beast. The sense of intelligence that the Blue Devils have been honing for decades is really useful for sensing the presence of enemies even though they are hidden from sight.

"As long as the two of them don't interfere, I don't mind if they want to watch how I beat you up, old demon...

Now prepare yourself to convey my greetings to Lord Yamadipati!!", the Blue Devil immediately spread his hands wide and exerted all his energy in his. A cold blue light spread around the two arms of the old warrior.

"Wait for Sanjaya..

I better take care of those two spy rats before we get on with the fight. I was not comfortable with their presence", having said so, the Red Devils Stump immediately darted towards the spot he was heading to. Soon he smashed his two fists towards the place that became the hiding place of Jaka Umbaran and Resi Simharaja.

"Rats of spies, get you out of that place..

Chhiyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaat.....!!!!!"

Waves of a thin red light burning with air swept quickly towards the lush trees where Jaka Umbaran and Resi Simharaja hid. Just before the waves of flaming red light hit, Jaka Umbaran and Resi Simharaja immediately darted quickly away from the place.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

After escaping a quick ambush of Tunggulherang Si Red Devils, Jaka Umbaran and Resi Simharaja stopped at a distance of 4 spears away from where the two old warriors were.

"Who are you and what do you want to peek here?!", hardened Sanjaya the Blue Devil while looking intently at the two.

"Sorry Kisanak..

Your fight is really boisterous. We were on our way to Kawali, interested to see what was really going on. There is no other meaning, we are just curious to see it", said Jaka Umbaran politely.

"Do you think we believe all your talk? You must be taught a lesson!", after saying so, Tunggulherang who had just tracked the ground immediately shot towards Jaka Umbaran while smashing his right hand palm. The red light glowed with heat following the movement of the old warrior's hand.

Jaka Umbaran calmly welcomed the arrival of the old swordsman's quick attack with his right hand palm that had been in the Ajian Guntur Saketi.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

The stump of the Red Devils bounced backwards. He quickly changed his body movements and landed with one hand propping up his body even though his body movements were still slurred back a few steps. Meanwhile, Jaka Umbaran did not budge at all from where he stood. Resi Simharaja growled loudly while preparing to advance.

Sanjaya The Blue Demon who witnessed it was all aghast in shock.

'This young swordsman was able to withstand the lashing of the Fire Demon Ajian calmly. Even his body did not move at all from its original place. I just had to deal with that study. Who is this young warrior exactly?'

The stump of the Red Devils snorted loudly as it was slightly surprised by the martial ability of this handsome young man. Although he had not fully exerted all the inner strength he had, yet three-quarters of the inner power he had already expended. He intends to fight it out. But just as he was about to make a move again, Sanjaya the Blue Demon immediately signaled to his mortal enemy to hold back.

"Young man, you're amazing..

So that there is no misunderstanding, explain to me what your name is and where are you from?", Sanjaya the Blue Devil said immediately. He was so curious about this young swordsman who was in front of him.

"I am Jaka Umbaran, Kisanak..

My origin is from Watu Bolong Hermitage in Lawu Mountain. We are far from where we came from because there is business to Kawali" said Jaka Umbaran with a faint smile.

The second surprise of the old swordsman when Jaka Umbaran mentioned his name. Some time recently, the name Jaka Umbaran is so famous in the martial world of Jawadwipa Land after successfully overturning the Red Kalong God in the event of a meeting of warriors. In addition, the latest news related to Jaka Umbaran who managed to finish the life of Lord Guru Resi Atmabrata and uncover the secrets possessed by the chairman of the Astanaraja Teacher, was, making the name Jaka Umbaran so fragrant in the martial world kulon region. This news of course reached also in the ears of the two old warriors from the middle region of Galuh Pakuan Kingdom.

And today they met with Jaka Umbaran and felt firsthand the ability of this rising young warrior martial arts. Of course, both can also measure the ability of Jaka Umbaran martial arts after a recent magic battle. If the two joined were not necessarily able to defeat the young swordsman, let alone a thick-bodied middle-aged man in white clothes who was always nearby would not stay silent if his friend was in a crackle.

"Ah, this seems to be just a misunderstanding. At this time apparently we are dealing with the famous Pendekar Gunung Lawu..

Forgive us who are old and do not understand the outside world. I am Sanjaya from Pangandaran. The people of the martial world dubbed me the Blue Devil. If he is Tunggulherang Si Red Devils from the Unnamed Valley in the Mandala Subanglarang region" said Sanjaya politely.

"Greetings to the Red Devils and the Blue Devils..

There's no need to be so polite with a kid who just went down the mountain like me. As a younger person, I should have been more polite to the older generation. If you don't mind, we along with some friends are staying a night not far from here. Please join if you are ready", bargain Jaka Umbaran who immediately made Sanjaya the Blue Devil turned to Tunggulherang. The red-clothed old grandfather nodded in agreement as he did not want to offend Jaka Umbaran.

After that, the four of them immediately darted towards the place where the small entourage of Jaka Umbaran was staying overnight. How surprised Buyut Wangsanaya saw who came with Jaka Umbaran and Resi Simharaja.

"Hohohoho..

It turns out you're the one making the fuss, old devil. It's almost impossible to still act" said Buyut Wangsanaya who immediately made Sanjaya the Blue Devil snort the ring.

"Eh Blunted Hand, do you want to lose your only arm that ha?

Even if you saved my life, but don't think I wouldn't have the heart to hang around that one hand of yours if you spoke as well as your stomach" hearing the scathing words of the Blue Devil, Buyut Wangsanaya also provoked his emotions.

"Try it if you can!!

Do you think I'm afraid of your Collapsed Mountain Ajian is an Old Devil?", replied Buyut Wangsanaya immediately.

"Hey hey hey.. You guys are old friends, why should you threaten each other like that? Shouldn't you two have a quiet conversation?", Tunggulherang The Red Devil tried to mediate the debate between Buyut Wangsanaya The One-Handed Physician and Sanjaya the Blue Devil. The two old men immediately turned to Tunggulherang while simultaneously saying, " SHUT UP YOU!!!"

Realizing that their conversation became heated, Jaka Umbaran could not stay silent.

"Ehemmm...

Everyone please calm down. We're all here because we want to rest together. So I ask all parties to refrain from making a fuss over the issue of speech".

Hearing Jaka Umbaran's words, the three of them who had a dispute finally chose not to continue their respective anger. Seeing that, Jaka Umbaran smiled meaningfully while Nyai Larasati and Dewi Rengganis breathed a sigh of relief because the commotion between the old warriors could be a disaster if not dealt with immediately.

After that they sat together circling the blazing bonfire burning dry wooden branches.

"I still do not understand, why Aki Sanjaya and Aki Tunggulherang met at this place. If you may know can you tell me a little?", said Jaka Umbaran breaking the silence between them.

One by one they started to open their voices. It turns out that they both got an invitation from Mangkubumi Ranayasa to help guard around Kawali because there are rumors that Kawali is being targeted by a rebellion masterminded by King Mandala Tanjung Sengguruh, Prabu Hyang Linggakancana, who is still in the middle of the war, the son of Prabu Langlangbumi's son-in-law who married the king's daughter from his concubine, who wanted to seize power from Kawali. Several other high-scientific warriors are said to have also been invited to help Kotaraja Kawali. Accidentally the two met at that place and finally pitted the science of worship after a mockery of the science of kanuragan owned by his opponent.

"Are the Swordsmen of Mount Lawu also invited to attend Kotaraja Kawali like us?", asked Sanjaya the Blue Devil after completing the story.

"We don't know, Aki Sanjaya. Coincidentally, we were on our way to Kawali at the invitation of Gusti Crown Prince Rakeyan Jayagiri to treat his ailing daughter. The business of the rebellion we do not know at all" said Jaka Umbaran as he threw pieces of dry wood into the fireplace that began to shrink.

Mmmmmm..

"Kawali's palace is indeed in big trouble. It is said that reportedly, the soldiers of Tanjung Sengguruh Mandala menyaru in a rebel group led by a picky swordsman who came from the south of Mount Galunggung.Name is, the name is,

The Black Jerkos"
