The Ancestral Country
The West Marsma Forest

As the thick smoke that covered the entire body of Panji Watugunung began to thin and disappear in the wind, the thin smile on the face of Resi Wanamarta soon faded. The body of Panji Watugunung which had just been hit by the hit Ajian Tapak Surya flagship not hurt at all even looks glowing golden yellow.

Patugunung Panji was still standing upright while holding the Fire Dragon Sword in his right hand. A thin smile was engraved on his handsome face.

"Ajian Tameng Waja,

Science has long since disappeared from the martial world. Where did you learn it from?", asked Resi Wanamarta with a surprised look.

"I learned this knowledge from my teacher Mpu Narasima, O hermit.

Although he is famous in the Kalingga region as a Gold-Based Swordsman, of course you will not hear his name, right?", said Panji Watugunung with a thin smile.

"That's right!

What do you think I'm a fool? Mpu Narasima is the younger brother of Mpu Sakri, the Hand of Fire.

Since you have proven to be highly skilled, then I will use all my abilities" said Resi Wanamarta who quickly stuck the handle of the Spear of Kahyangan to the ground.

Resi Wanamarta's wrinkled but muscular hands stretched to the left and right.

Immediately, both hands crossed in front of the chest. Resi Wanamarta's mouth kamat kamit reciting mantra. Her entire body was then engulfed by a greenish-white ray of air-cold as if frozen. The ground that Resi Wanamarta stepped on was immediately white and frozen like covered in a cold layer of ice.

Apparently the old hermit brought out the Frozen Ajian Kahyangan, which is one of the most feared studies in the Jenggala region.

Suddenly time stopped. In the inner view of the Patugunung Panji around the place covered by a red mist then from the end of the fog appeared something that long did not greet the Watugunung Panji.

Slowly the form of the Fire Dragon Spirit inhabiting the Fire Dragon Sword drew closer towards the Watugunung Panji.

"For a long time do not greet you, Watugunung.

May you be much more powerful now" said the Fire Dragon Spirit as he shook his head.

"I can finally meet you again, Fire Dragon Spirit.

What makes you present greet me?", said Panji Watugunung immediately.

"You know I'll only show up in front of you when you're in danger.

Your opponent is the holder of the Spear of Kahyangan, which is infused with the spirit of Frozen Wind. Although your Tameng Waja studies are great, but you have to survive the cold wind that is able to freeze anything. It won't be easy" the Fire Dragon Spirit said as it circled the body of Panji Watugunung.

"Well what should I do, Fire Dragon?

There must be a way out, right?", asked Panji Watugunung immediately.

"Use the energy in your fire, to keep your body hot. I'll add to the heat. Then combine it with your Ajian Brajamusti, make sure you are right when wearing it", said the Spirit of the Fire Dragon while touching the forehead of the Watugunung Panji that makes the body of Yuwaraja Panjalu like getting an extraordinary energy addition. After doing so, the red mist slowly disappeared along with the disappearance of the Fire Dragon spirit.

Then things went back to how they were.

The Watugunung banner immediately crossed both hands in front of the chest. The body heat of Sang Yuwaraja Panjalu increased rapidly. The Panjalu soldiers who were behind him were forced to retreat because they were not strong enough to withstand the heat that came out of the body of Panji Watugunung. His right hand was covered by a bluish-white light that was extremely blinding to the eyes.

Resi Wanamarta traversed the ground violently then the old grandfather's body immediately bounces high into the air then quickly slid down towards the Watugunung Panji. His right hand which was a whitish green was immediately smashed towards the Watugunung Panji.

Shhhiiiiiiuuut...

At the same time Watugunung Panji also smashed his bluish-white right hand.

Dharrrrrrr Dhuuuaaaarrrrrr!!!

Patugunung Panji received the blow of Frozen Ajian Kahyangan as well as Wanamarta Resi received his Brajamusti Panji Watugunung.

Both of them were equally pushed back several spears backwards. Because Watugunung Panji wears Ajian Tameng Waja, then the state of Sang Yuwaraja Panjalu is good even though a little tight chest. Frozen Ajian Kahyangan was indeed terrifying.

While Resi Wanamarta bounced several spears while crossing both hands in front of the chest. Even though he managed to hold Ajian Brajamusti, but his chest felt as painful as it was on a huge stone slash. The leader of Mount Welirang Padepokan had a small cough several times, from the corner of his lips there was blood flowing out.

Slowly Wong Agung Welirang rubbed the blood flowing with his left hand.

"You're a great young man, able to hold back my Frozen Ajian Kahyangan.

Be prepared,

This is my ultimate science of genius" said Resi Wanamarta while installing a horse of canuragan science.

Resi Wanamarta's thin hands immediately crossed in front of her chest. His body slowly let out a white, air-cold smoke. Slowly the thin body of Resi Wanamarta grew and changed color to blue. That is Ajian Blue God who is able to change the appearance of its wearer by 2 times the human body in general.

The Watugunung banner did not remain silent. Immediately he sheathed the Fire Dragon Sword onto his back.

Yuwaraja Panjalu was immediately chanting her Ajian Waringin Sungsang. A bluish green light immediately enveloped the entire body of Patugunung Panji mixed with golden yellow rays from Ajian Tameng Waja.

The Wanamarta Rishis quickly shot towards the Watugunung Panji. Although his body was enlarged, but his speed had also increased tremendously. The large hand of the blue-lighted Wanamarta Rishi immediately struck towards the Watugunung Panji.

Rrrrrrrrrrr!!

The powerful explosion again sounded deafening. Resi Wanamarta's hand that hit Panji Watugunung's body was attached to Yuwaraja Panjalu's body.

Slowly but surely, the energy in the Wanamarta Resi was soon at the Ajian Waringin Sungsang sedot of his Watugunung Panji. The pain immediately spread throughout the body of Resi Wanamarta.

AAAARRGGGHHH!!

A scream of pain rang out from the mouth of Resi Wanamarta whose body slowly shrank due to her internal energy drained by the power of Ajian Waringin Sungsang.

From a distance, Rara Janggi who had just arrived immediately ran towards Panji Watugunung. Upon seeing her father in pain, Rara Janggi quickly darted towards Panji Watugunung swinging her iron fan.

Tringggg

Mmmmmmmmmm!!

As a result of interference from Rara Janggi, Resi Wanamarta was separated from Ajian Waringin Sungsang. Resi Wanamarta's body bounced backwards for more than 3 spears. But Rara Janggi himself was thrown far back and suckled the ground. Although not too severe, but the internal wound of Rara Janggi made the woman vomit fresh blood.

The Watugunung banner immediately stopped his Ajian Waringin Sungsang.

Rara Janggi took pains to get up and stagger towards the Watugunung Panji.

"Punish our lives, Gusti Prince Jayengrana.

We admit defeat", Rara Janggi said in stammering.

"Hmmmmmmm..

I'm letting go of you. But if you arrive later in the day you disturb the soldiers of Panjalu, do not blame me if you act decisively", said Watugunung Panji authoritatively.

"We understand Gusti Prince" said Rara Janggi who immediately walked closer to Resi Wanamarta who vomited black blood. The deep wounds caused by Ajian Waringin Sungsang destroyed some of the veins of the old body of Resi Wanamarta. Slowly Rara Janggi reached into the body of the Wanamarta Rishi while grabbing the Kahyangan Spear that stuck on the ground. Trudgingly the woman walked away from the soldiers of Panjalu.

Dewi Srimpi, Dewi Naganingrum, Ratna Pitaloka and Sekar Mayang immediately approached Panji Watugunung.

"You okay what Kakang?", asked Ratna Pitaloka immediately.

"I'm fine Dinda Pitaloka, you don't have to worry about me" Panji Watugunung replied with a sweet smile.

"Let me see Denmas" said Dewi Srimpi who felt Watugunung Panji must have been injured. Quickly the beautiful woman immediately undressed Panji Watugunung. And sure enough, there was a bruise on the left chest of the Yuwaraja Panjalu.

"This is the proof.

Tell me it's okay. Kangmbok Pitaloka, ask Senopati Warigalit to stop the pace of Panjalu troops here. I will treat the wounds in Denmas Panji", said Dewi Srimpi who immediately got a nod of the head from Ratna Pitaloka.

Coincidentally also Senopati Warigalit and Senopati Narapraja did walk up to them after seeing the fight between Resi Wanamarta and Panji Watugunung ended.

"The old Regent's science is very great, beyond the power of the Duke of Danaraja.

Fortunately, Kakang Watugunung has Ajian Tameng Waja.

Command the soldiers of Panjalu to set up camp in this place. Srimpi will treat Kakang Watugunung's wounds first" Ratna Pitaloka told Senopati Warigalit.

"Both sister" said Senopati Warigalit who immediately turned around and began ordering the Panjalu soldiers to set up camp at the place.

The supply soldiers led by Demung Gumbreg immediately worked quickly.

Meanwhile, Tumenggung Ludaka immediately ordered the Lowo Bengi soldiers to spread around the place. They were ordered to fix as much news as possible about the Jenggala soldiers. They quickly moved in small groups and spread around the western region of the Duchy of Hujung Galuh.

While Senopati Narapraja soon formed a group of guard troops that became a posse around where they spent the night.

By placing the middle officers, Panjalu's troops quickly moved around the place to stand guard.

The day soon changed night.

Panji Watugunung with his eyes closed immediately lowered his hands above his knees after sighing long.

It seems that the treatment carried out by Dewi Srimpi is able to heal the deep wounds obtained by Panji Watugunung from the fight last afternoon.

"Thank you for the help, Dinda Srimpi.

I am grateful for taking you to this war" Panji Watugunung said after opening his eyes.

"It's my duty, Denmas.

This is also the duty given by Gusti Empress Anggarawati to me", replied Dewi Srimpi while tidying up some of the items she used to treat the man she loved.

"Eh, Srimpi Mah Tea is great.

Abdi Teh can also calm serene daydream nyanghareupan opponent anu tips. Because the seagrass man was injured, Srimpi Tea can definitely treat", said Dewi Naganingrum who sat not far from Watugunung Panji.

From the outside, Ratna Pitaloka and Sekar Mayang entered carrying a tray containing some food that they would eat as their dinner.

Outside the big tent, the Panjalu soldiers on guard night did their job well.

In the tent that is not so far from the tent Panji Watugunung, Demung Gumbreg who was hungry, seemed fun to enjoy the food served to him.

Already 3 plates were eaten by the Panjalu soldier, but it seems to have not satisfied his appetite.

Tumenggung Ludaka who came with Jarasanda appeared to carry some grilled corn. Jarasanda also carries a bamboo roof that contains his favorite rice wine.

Looking at his friend who was still cooking food, Ludaka shook his head.

"Are you hungry or dogged to Mbreg?", asked Ludaka who immediately sat his ass on the pandan leaf mat that became Gumbreg's bed.

"I'm hungry Lu, you know,

From this afternoon I only ate a plate of rice", replied Gumbreg as he continued his meal.

"Yes, you only eat a plate of rice, but you will spend the boiled cassava sob?", said Tumenggung Ludaka who stared at the astonishment at Gumbreg's eating ability.

"The cassava doesn't fill my stomach Lu.

If the new rice can" Gumbreg still feed the rice to his mouth full of pieces of vegetables and dried fish.

"Lha rather than starving to death it is better to die of satiety" Gumbreg said as he put down his fourth plate. Seeing his friend carrying grilled corn, Gumbreg immediately smiled.

"Well, you're a good friend, Lu,

Come here with grilled corn" said Gumbreg with a smile.

"Just son, please,

Just finished 4 rice dishes still greedy.

This is my dinner. If you want, just find it yourself" Ludaka said as he began to bite his grilled corn.

Gumbreg could only drool at the sight of his friend eating grilled corn that looked so good.

Meanwhile, at the camp of the Jenggala soldiers, Prabu Garasakan was sitting in a large tent that became the center of the movement of Jenggala soldiers who blocked the movement of Panjalu soldiers.

In front of him, Mapatih Dyah Bayunata, Rakryan Samarotsaha, Senopati Wirondaya, Senopati Mpu Sadewa, Tumenggung Mandalika, Tumenggung Wahana, Tumenggung Adijaya, Demung Wastra and Demung Rengku appear to be waiting for the order of the king Kahuripan.

"Is it true that they have reached west Pakuwon Jengki, Uncle Mapatih?", asked the Garasakan Emperor as he looked towards Dyah Bayunata.

"True Gusti Prabu, though,

According to the eyes of the eyes that the servants sent, it seemed like they numbered in the tens of thousands of soldiers" Sang Mapatih Jenggala reported in a stern voice.

"That means that if they travel here, by midday it will have arrived here.

Well then, we're stopping them west of this Marsma Forest Uncle.

How are you preparing, Wirondaya?", Prabu Garasakan turned towards Senopati Wirondaya.

"All of us have prepared carefully, Gusti Prabu.

Just waiting for orders from Gusti Prabu to move", Senopati Wirondaya respect Prabu Garasakan.

Mapanji Garasakan immediately stood up from his seat. A moment before speaking, he held his breath for a moment.

"Tomorrow morning we set out westward toward the Marsma Forest.

We're fighting Panjalu's forces there!"
