The Fire Dragon Sword
The Mysterious Swordsman
Mentari stared at the night sky from the mouth of the cave, his feelings were uncertain. Several times he coughed and pulled out a blood clot from his mouth. His breath feels tight indicating the poison effect of green bats began to eat away at him.
"Is it as severe as that effect of learning Ajian melted breadfruit?" Kumbara is still curious about the effects caused by melted sukma.
Sumbi nodded "Aren't you supposed to better understand if the science from Dieng always damages the body of its users?".
Kumbara closed her eyes for a moment. "Dieng huh? I always get sick when I hear that name. A place that was an obsession for almost half my life before I saw for myself how it worked".
"What do you see there?" Speak stopper curious.
"Something no one wants to see including you. I just hope no one else can find the gate to Dieng".
Kumbara turned to Mentari who had not yet moved from his seat.
"The boy's pity at a very young age he bore a very heavy burden on his shoulders". Said Kumbara while shaking her head.
"There is actually a way to destroy the study later, although it is almost impossible for us to find it but just think of lemongrass as a medicine to prolong its life for a while". Sumbi said slowly.
"What's that?" Kumbara scrunched her forehead.
"Life water".
Kumbara chuckled for a moment after hearing Sumbi's words. "You're adding to my problem, don't you".
"The water of life can purportedly neutralize poisons as powerful as anything in this world. If the poison in the user's body melted the sukma is lost then automatically Ajian melted the sukma is destroyed from the user's body". Serious sumber.
"But you know the effect of drinking the water of life, right? that lady will turn into a Celestial Demon".
Sumbi was silent at the words of Kumbara. He wanted to explain about the possibility of the Book of Life seal to neutralize the effects of the water of life yet he undoes his intentions because he felt neither the water of life nor the seal of life were necessarily truly there.
"Do you realize that all the problems in the martial world are all from Dieng?".
"You mean?". Sumbi scrunched his forehead.
"Heritage objects began to appear hundreds of years ago to make the martial world into an uproar. Since the heirloom appeared there is no more peace in this archipelago, if only the place never existed".

"Did you bring what I asked for?" A middle-aged man stared intently at Maruta.
"As you command, sir". Maruta gave me a black book.
The man smiled with satisfaction at the book of Life Seal that Maruta gave.
"What about the old man?".
"He is still trying to withstand the effects of the water of life with his inner power. His Panca geni science was indeed terrifying even for hundreds of years the water spirit of life could not take over his body".
"That man always surprised me but slowly the five geni will not be able to hold the spirit eating his soul we just have to wait a little while longer".
"Master may I ask you a question?". Maruta asked slowly, he did not want the monster before him to be offended.
"say". The man lifted the book of the seal of life upward. Soon his hand released fire and burned the seal of life.
"It is not yet time for me to appear in the martial world, if I kill him then my disguise will be revealed. Besides, I can't use my energy fully yet. The seal Giri patih made on my body was very troublesome, all the inner power that was in my body only lasted a few moments before the seal absorbed it completely. If I fight a little longer then I will be destroyed.
I am trying to release this seal on my body because with this seal I cannot use the Vortex Wind Sword. If I can use this sword, I will make sure that the entire Nusantara land will bend its knees before me".
"I want you to stay in the Demon Valley until I'm right regardless of this cursed seal".
"Good sir". Maruta looked at the middle-aged man before him. With an age that reached hundreds of years even much older than the Demon Valley Chief yet his face still looked young.

"Uncle tell me about the south wind forces". Said Sabrang while leaning under a shady tree in the middle of the forest. They decided to rest after walking for almost half a day.
"Southern wind forces were the forerunner of the Malwageni government's elite forces. We were trained day and night by Mr. Wijaya. After that several other kingdoms adopted what Malwageni did. So formed the iron-fisted army of Majasari and the army of pole masks belonging to Sanng galah.
But due to the cunning tactics of the officials who defected from the Malwagen The southern wind force split into two camps. Narita instigated some of the soldiers to support the officials, until finally the Malwageni collapsed because the troops that were supposed to protect the Malwageni were busy with internal warfare.
What an irony when the initial purpose of the formation of the south wind forces is to protect the Malwageni it is they who destroy the Malwageni from within". Found taking a deep breath, there was a sense of guilt evident in the strokes of his face.
"Prince....". Kertapati did not continue his words when Sabrang gave a sign to be silent by sticking an index finger in his mouth.
"Retreat uncle". Sabrang set the tree trunk where he leaned and formed a thick ice wall before he jumped back followed by Kertapati who still did not understand Sabrang's intentions.
"Duarrrr" The ice wall that Sabrang made shattered into pieces was hit by a sword attack. A body slowly approached him with a cold smile.
"I don't think the Fire Dragon user could use the northern Ice style".
"His power is immense". Sabrang's hand shook receiving the effect of his attack.
"Who are you? and why did you come attacking us". Sabrang drained his profound energy throughout the body to reduce the pressure effect of the male aura before him.
"Give me your sword". The warrior suddenly attacked Sabrang quickly.
Some of his quick attacks almost hit Sabrang if there was no ice shield protecting him.
Sabrang jumped back a few steps as he felt desperate. He used the summoning chakra to compensate for the mysterious swordsman's speed.
"Agh". Sabrang suddenly held his head. The pain in his head reappeared shortly after he used the Cakra-sounding style.
"Not now". Sabrang's eyes turned red again but this time almost all of his eyeballs were red.
"The Thunder Sword: The Mountain-destroying Sword". The mysterious swordsman appeared suddenly behind Sabrang and attacked quickly.
Sabrang's body was thrown far away and hit the trees. Sabrang's body was covered in thick ice.
"Ice users are always a hassle". The warrior stared intently at Sabrang.
He jumped at Sabrang with a worried face.
"Prince".
"I'm fine uncle, this ice shield protected me earlier". Sabrang slowly controlled his breathing. His eyes were still red but the pain in his head started to disappear.
