The Fire Dragon Sword
The Demon Fighters Tribe
"Dieng Gate consists of 3 layers. The first gate we call it the Gate of lust because at the first gate that's all our lust as if overflowing. Some warriors who managed to enter at the first gate could kill each other arrived without knowing what possessed them. It was as if they were being controlled by an enormous lust.
The second gate we call it the Voracious Gate because everything inside the second gate can make them get what they want. Water that could make immortal bodies, a power that could make them the strongest warriors and others that were still a mystery. All can make anyone who enters there dark eyes and become greedy.
At the last gate we call it the Gate of self-destruction. I don't know what's in there because the Star of the sky is only allowed up to the second gate but it's said that there are a lot of demonic heirlooms that can make this world destroyed". Birawa took her breath back before continuing.
"All the power and heritage in there like created not for humans, what is hidden in that place will make the enigma of wrath in the martial world if taken out forcibly. If I could destroy the gate it would probably be better".
"Have you tried it?".
"Hundreds of times I tried to destroy the place with master Bratajaya Dwipa the owner of the sword you brought but all in vain, the place was protected by strange forces, even the strongest heirloom Dieng did not succeed in destroying it".
"So inside this third gate lies the distilled heirloom of the demon king?". The phallus designates a picture of the gate that looks the smallest among other gates.
"It's likely like that sir because we only got to the second gate. I heard that only Mr. Panca and Mahendra have ever entered the third gate".
"You're saying we only have 4 days before the gate closes again, right?".
"Right, like you said, nature only gives 4 days". Birawa's words are brief.
"What is the distance from the first gate to the last gate?".
"If all goes well, it should be within a day that we can reach the last gate".
"That means the time we have is only 3 days before the gate is closed again". Linga shook slowly. With such a little time Lingga found it difficult to explore the mysterious place.
"Whatever you're looking for there don't push yourself too hard, if time is running out of there as soon as possible no matter what you haven't found what you're looking for because your life is more important than anything in there". Birawa warned.
Lingga only nodded, he was still dissolved in his own mind about Dieng's opening time which was quite narrow. He could not imagine if they met the swordsman from the Demon Valley inside there would obviously cut the rest of the time they had.

It has been three days that Sabrang and Mentari have moved down the forest to the hill of Cetho. They deliberately did not take the main line to avoid the Majasari post. Sabrang wanted to get to the foothills of Cetho immediately without causing any problems.
Their journey for a few days was without problems, the atmosphere of the martial world was so quiet the end of the end as if knowing if a few days ahead a most sought after gate during this time would open.
"It looks like we've reached the foothills of Cetho". Sabrang pointed at the forest before him which was filled with towering trees.
The sun nodded its head, the place they had been to a few months ago still looked the same.
"We arrive one day ahead of the promise we made with Ciha, we better visit Rakiti's grandfather while waiting for Siha to pick up".
They stepped towards a hut in the middle of the wilderness.
"You're late, son, your friend has already entered the sky star Sect". Rakiti emerged from the forest with a few wild chickens in her hand.
"Ah she's not my friend's cake". Sabrang smiled awkwardly. He already knew who Rakiti meant his friend.
"Let me cook for dinner". Rakiti invites Sabrang and Mentari into her hut.
After finishing eating dinner, Rakiti's face turned serious.
"So you really want to enter Dieng?". Ask Rakiti quietly.
Sabrang nodded softly "I have to get in there cake".
"What are you looking for there, son? I see you're getting stronger, I'll help you keep getting stronger. With the power in Satanadawa I'm sure you'll be the strongest". Rakiti was still trying to seduce Sabrang not to approach Dieng.
Sabrang gritted his forehead "Didn't grandfather have approved me to enter Dieng some time ago?".
"I know but my gut feeling tells you to stay away from that place, son".
"Since my father's death by the black Devil I've been cut off from my ancestors. A lot of things confuse me cake, I have to make sure it's there. I heard there was a slate in Dieng that told me the complete history of my ancestors, this is my only chance to find out cake".
"Rest, perhaps tomorrow the child of the sky star sect will pick you up early in the morning". Rakiti got up and signaled to Mentari to follow him.
Rakiti stepped out followed by Mentari behind him.
When Rakiti arrived at a tree she used to practice, she stopped her steps.
"Sit down". Rakiti says quietly.
Mentari followed all of Rakiti's requests with a confused face.
"Have you ever heard of the Demon Fighter tribe?". Rakiti asked.
The mentor scrunched his forehead and shook his head.
"A long time ago in the archipelago there was a mysterious tribe that was very cruel. Because of his cruelty, people dubbed him as a fighting Demon Tribe. They are very closed to the outside world, anyone who approaches their territory will die a terrible death.
Their most striking trait is their penchant for fighting. They seem to enjoy fighting and bloodshed even not infrequently they fight between their own tribes if they do not find a fighting opponent. They did not hesitate to slaughter the other tribes just for their pleasure.
Until one day they resurrected a fire demon named Banaspati, all they did to find the strongest opponent but this time they made a big mistake. Banaspati is not an easy opponent to face, after fighting against Banaspati for days finally they all died in the hands of Banaspati.
Seeing all the chaos caused by the actions of the fighting demon tribe and banaspati supposedly the god of wrath and sealed Banaspati in five volcanoes around the world". Rakiti was seen taking a deep breath before continuing her speech.
I don't know if the story of the fighting demon tribe and Banaspati is true or just a wreath but the special feature of the fighting demon is that his eyes are striking light blue".
"Degn". The look on Mentari's face suddenly changed hearing Rakiti's words.
"You mean the eyes of the young master?". Mentari said with a vibrating voice.
"My entire life I spent searching for information on the markings of the warrior Demon tribe and all the information I got led to one place which was Dieng!. I finally tried to get into Dieng to investigate it but the 4 days I had until the gate was closed back were not enough to investigate the entire place.
Miss listen to my words, I don't know if all these stories are true but I feel there is a connection between the Dwipa breed and the fighting demon tribe. You're the closest person to him, and I saw the boy like you so you're the only one I can ask for help to take care of him in case anything happens to him in Dieng".
"Pregnated him?". Mentari scrunched his forehead.
"You'll find out when you read the inscription stone on that gate, use this if something happens there". Rakiti handed over a package to Mentari.
"This?". Mentari stared at the confused package.
"Open only when pressed, and never leave the package when you go with him". Rakiti says quietly.
Mentari just nodded slowly, he then put the package into his clothes.
Rakiti stepped away leaving Mentari who was still looking at her confusedly.
"Hopefully my hunch is wrong". He murmured in his heart.

"Hey are you okay?". Sabrang shocked the dreamy Mentari.
"Ah young master? have you eaten?". Mentari said brick.
"Did something happen to you?". Sabrang scrunched his forehead.
The mentor shook his head while smiling sweetly.
"Let's go, Ciha's been waiting since. We must quickly master the protective seal, the gate will open in a week". Sabrang pulled the hand of Mentari who was still staring at him.
"Let go young master". Mentari tried to let go of Sabrang's hand but Sabrang did not care about it and still held Mentari's hand.
