The Fire Dragon Sword
The Linga Maheswara
Mentari pulled out the sword that had been tucked in his pocket, he was sure that this fight would be one-sided. Dozens of masked warriors sprung up from behind the trees yet they were still observing as if they were being prepared for something.
"What are they doing up there?". The sun bit his lips. He estimated that there were thirty mysterious warriors staring at him sharply from behind the tree.
"I've warned you not to interfere but you're too stubborn without measuring your abilities. There's still time to step back and I'll forget about it". Jagratara drew two swords and turned them in both hands.
"I'm tired of hearing your threats". The sun moved quickly towards Jagratara followed by a black parrot on the ground that shot towards the shadow of Jagratara.
Jagratara shook her head slowly "You think your toy seal will work on me?". Jagratara welcomes the Mentari attack without fear. Jagratara moves agilely avoiding the shadow of Mentari who tries to catch him from behind while occasionally giving a quick attack towards Mentari.
"How could he avoid my shadow seal so easily, as if he had eyes on his back". Mentari continued to increase the speed of his attack followed by his shadow continued to try to catch the shadow Jagratara.
"The seal is really troublesome". Suddenly there was a change in aura in the body of Jagratara. Almost all turned their heads towards him as a black aura enveloped him.
The sun was seen keeping its distance after sensing the aura suppressing it.
"It's not good, I have to beat him immediately". Mentari decided to use all his strength. Mentari did save some of his inner strength because he was worried that the mysterious warriors were attacking but seeing the aura of Jagratara that changed suddenly he was forced to fight with all his strength.
They exchanged back in the air, all eyes staring in awe at the fight including the mysterious warriors who had not moved at all.
"Sugma fuselage poison box". Mentari launched his attack when he saw the gap that was wide open.
Mentari was pretty sure his attack hit his target. When his fists hit the target, Jagratara swung his sword at Mentari. If Mentari did not react quickly by turning his body then his head was separated from his body.
When Mentari re-arranged his horse arrived Jagratara had appeared before him.
"Black cloud twin swords". Jagratara swung his sword with all his might. Luckily Mentari was still able to react by raising his sword to fend off the attack. The sun bounced far enough with a smile on his face.
His black shadow that had been trying to touch Jagratara's shadow finally managed to touch it.
"Because of you". The sun rose up and began to drain the poison of the king of scorpions into his paradise.
"I told you this toy won't work for me". Right after finishing speaking Jagratara disappeared from sight and moved quickly to attack Mentari.
"How could he escape from the shadow seal?". Mentari jumped to welcome his directed attack on him.
When Mentari returned to form with Jagratara, from outside dozens of Astaguna students ran in.
"Chairman what happened?". One of his students stared at the astonishment of Mentari's fight with Jagratara. Although Mentari looks start to be cornered but his movement never slowed down and continued to try to press while occasionally jumping back when Jagratara's rapid attack almost hit him.
"Retreat". Astaguna shouted out loud. Not yet had they digested the intent of Astaguna dozens of mysterious warriors who from just now saw now move quickly towards them.
"Use the shadow seal". One of the disciples noticed the arrival of the dozens of warriors but the seal was never formed as they all collapsed to the ground with sword wounds on his body.
Astaguna shook his head slowly, he stared intently at Jagratara full of anger.
"You really have gone too far for Jagratara".
Mentari who had seen the movement of the swordsman shuddered in horror, he was sure a few seconds ago they were still on the tree how could they move so fast.
"Don't take your eyes off when you fight with me". One punch Jagratara enough to make Mentari pushed a few steps.
Shadow Mentari again managed to touch the shadow Jagratara but again Jagratara managed to escape shortly before Mentari drain the poison.
"The reaction of his body was really fast, he seemed to have eyes all over his body". The sun tries to regulate its breath.

"This cave is like there's no end to it". Sabrang snorted in annoyance. They had been walking for hours but they had not found any sign of the end of the cave.
"Patience a little, if we go back now what if the exit is on the other end". Ciha said softly while scraping the rocks on the cave wall.
He was less sure of this path but there was no choice for them not to shrink. One cave left collapsed due to the explosion of Sabrang sword.
"What are you doing?". Sabrang scrunched his forehead when he saw Ciha scratching the stone several times on the cave wall.
"I'm just making a sign". Short Ciha speech.
Sabrang did not continue his question even though he was still confused as to what marks Ciha made.
"Have you been to Dieng?". Sabrang asked Ciha. He decided to kill his boredom by talking to Ciha.
"Have, several times the chairman took me there with him".
"Make sure the place stays hidden".
"Why should it be hidden when you can freely go in and out of there?".
Ciha stopped her steps for a moment and looked at Sabrang. He showed me his left hand that had no little finger.
"I bit my little finger to the point of breaking up while I was in Dieng".
Sabrang was slightly surprised by Ciha's explanation, how she could hurt herself.
"Frighteningly that's the place?". Sabrang scrunched his forehead.
"I bit my finger until it broke when I touched a sword stuck in the stone, I forgot the Chairman's message not to touch any heirlooms that appeared before me but a small golden sword attracted me.
When my hand touched the sword, something entered quickly from inside the sword. Suddenly all I had in mind at that time was just fighting and fighting.
The chairman realized I was possessed by the heirloom and tried to stop me with his elemental 4 seal but the power of the heirloom was too strong. As I was about to kill the chief, I decided to bite my little finger to take back my consciousness". Ciha was seen taking a deep breath before continuing her speech.
"The inscription of the master of Panca engraved on a stone at the first gate Dieng said that the greatest mistake the master of panca during his life was to find the place. There are many mysteries that even the master of Panca himself cannot solve regarding the place including the emergence of heirlooms that are out of nowhere and ready to possess anyone who touches it.
It is said that when the master of Panca created the 5 strongest heirlooms Dieng even he was in a state of unconsciousness or possessed by something".
"Possessed something?". Sabrang scrunched his forehead.
"That's what I read on the memorial stone he wrote. I don't know what you're looking for in there, but it's a really dangerous place especially for a swordsman like you. I can't imagine what would happen if you were possessed and used your newfound skill. You will be a disaster for the martial world. Don't touch anything when you get in there". Ciha warned Sabrang.
"But....". Not finished Sabrang talk arrived Ciha kicked a stone in front of him.
"Damn". Siha swearing hard.
"Hey, did something happen?". Ask Sabrang.
Ciha showed the scratches she had drawn along the way.
"We just turned around and went back to where we were, this is the scratch I made first".
"How come? isn't there only one way? it should be if we keep going we'll find the end of the cave".
"It's kind of a seal to mess with anyone trying to get in here. I really underestimated this place, it looks like it'll take us some time to get out of here". Ciha threw her body into a rock. His face is really bad.
"My friend may not have much time" Sabrang again stepped down the cave.
"Free! you're going back to where you belong". He shouted at Sabrang.
"Then we're just gonna sit here all day bemoaning fate?". Sabrang's voice was rising.
"I'm also worried about the sky star sect, if master Daniswara wants to destroy the sky star you're our only hope. I'll get you out of here but let me think for a second". Siha closed her eyes. He didn't know where to start to deal with the problems they were facing.

Jagratara arrived back a bit far when his rapid attack attack was able to make Mentari cornered. His left hand signaled the masked warriors to prepare for battle.
"This aura is really suppressing me, who is the owner of this aura". Jagratara's face suddenly changed.
"I don't think the sky star sect is a coward's hideout". The phallus looks to float in the air. His black aura suppressed all who were at the betting location.
Some masked swordsmen even reflexed a step back after seeing a swordsman hovering in the air. Only a person who possessed an enormous inner power was able to float in the air.
"You okay?". The phallus speaks to the Mentari after both feet are on the ground.
Mentari nodded softly "You've been a long time".
"Sorry, your poison is really troublesome". Linga smiled coldly. A smile that for a while scared Mentari.
"Let's have a good talk, sir, I'm sure it's all just my misunderstanding with this lady". Jagratara tried to avoid a fight with the Linga after seeing its power. Although Jagratara could win the fight, he was sure to be seriously injured.
"I never like to solve problems by talking". Shortly after speaking the phallus disappeared from view and appeared near one of the masked warriors.
"Dance of the Sword Demon". The phallus swung its sword quickly. A few seconds later the masked swordsman collapsed on the ground with his head separated from his body without having a chance to react.
"A quick one". Jagratara grasped both of his swords tightly.
