The Fire Dragon Sword
Land of the Gods IV
"You're really terrible, it's a fortune for me to face you even if I have to die". Long smile with satisfaction.
Langgeng recalled the time Mahendra found him badly injured in a forest after being attacked by skull Valley warriors. The great talent that Langgeng has makes Mahendra interested and makes him a student.
From then on he continued to be strong and almost invincible. It was boredom that drove him crazy and obsessed with powerful warriors.
Langgeng again released a huge aura to suppress Sabrang.
"You're throwing your energy away for free". Sabrang shook his head slowly.
"Nothing is free against the users of the Fire Dragon". Langgeng moved quickly to attack Sabrang, his attack this time contained a great inner power.
"His strength is increasing rapidly". Sabrang continued to observe Langgeng's increasingly rapid movements while continuing to dodge his attacks perfectly.
In just a few breaths they had already turned dozens of moves.
"Because of you". Langgeng disappeared from sight when it managed to lure Sabrang to move sideways.
"The Demon Sword of destruction". Langgeng unleashed his strongest stance.
Sabrang seemed not to try to dodge, he threw a dark ruler keris into the air and cast a body-destroying style.
The two swords clashing in the air made a huge explosion. Langgeng's body was knocked backwards exposed to the effects of the explosion.
When Langgeng tried to repair his horse he felt a very severe pain. He saw that keris had pierced through his body from behind.
"I really don't want to kill you but you're forcing me". Sabrang said slowly.
Langgeng looked back and found Sabrang shaking his head.
In a state of severe injuries Langgeng smiled satisfiedly "You are really a very strong opponent, it has been a long time I do not feel this kind of despair". Langgeng's body fell to the ground along with the change of the dark lord's keris into a black aura that overflowed in the air.
Sabrang looked at Langgeng who was still trying to get up.
"Why didn't you kill me? quick do!". Longsuffled screamed while coughing up blood.
"I didn't kill an opponent who couldn't even move his body". Sabrang stepped up leaving the injured Langgeng. Slowly the black flames disappeared followed by the sword that was in his grasp.
"Observe your heart on 3 lightning swords especially on his twin swords". Langgeng laughed in satisfaction after warning Sabrang.
"It looks like the morning is coming, I need to hurry". Sabrang darted rapidly between the trees chasing after Lingga and the others.

"Will he be okay?". Ciha looked anxious as she left Sabrang alone. Although he is not a swordsman but he can know if the one who attacked him is a great swordsman.
"I suggest you worry about the enemy attacking him". Speak a short phallus.
Ciha looked confused but did not continue her question. He saw the sunlight starting to appear and intended to rest for a moment.
"We rest for a moment, it will be very dangerous if the enemy attacks again and you lack rest. The river is the border of Karang sari region". Ciha pointed at the large river not far away from where they stopped.
"I'll check around here to keep watch, use the best possible time to rest we don't know when the enemy will come back to attack". The phallus goes towards the river.
"So tomorrow night that gate will open?". Mentari dan.
Siha nodded softly "I always hope that the gate never opens again. There's a lot of weird, nonsensical stuff in there". Siha took a long breath.
"What's that scary?". Mentari scrunched his forehead.
"I've felt it myself". Say a short speech while showing one of his fingers broken.
"That". The shuddering sun saw one of Ciha's fingers missing.
"Don't touch anything that's there, all the objects there as if they have a spirit that is ready to enter us at any time. I had to bite my finger until it broke to wake up and not kill Mr. Birawa. Be careful when entering Dieng, the 4 days we will pass there will feel very long".
"Does the water of life really exist?". Mentari asked slowly.
"It is more appropriate to call it the curse water, there is a lake at the second door. The 4-element seal sealed the cave into the lake. If you think to drink it Mr. Birawa can help eliminate the effects of the water but I suggest to stay away from the water. It hurts so much if you try to fight against fate, living hundreds of years is excruciating". Siha lirih.
"Do you know the story of the fighting demon tribe?".
Ciha frowned "You still think about Mr Birawa's words?".
The mentari nodded anxiously.
"I'm sure Lord Birawa was wrong, the warrior demon tribe has long been wiped out by the gods". Siha reassured Mentari.
"That's it.....". Mentari said still with a worried tone.
"Not to think about it, we better make a plan to get into Dieng". Siha took out a scroll from inside her clothes.
"The choice is only 2, walking down the receding sea takes a while or renting a boat this afternoon and waiting there. Because the sea water starts receding at night".
"Is there a gap or what can be stepped on the wall of the hill?". The newly appearing phallus asked slowly.
Ciha shook her head slowly "I'm not suggesting you go over the cliff, even if you're a high-scientific swordsman but I feel like there's something on this wall".
"You mean?". The phallus approached out of curiosity.
"Black hill walls are formed naturally from hard rock structures, but there are some rocks that are like being arranged by someone for a specific purpose. Several times I entered Dieng with Mr. Birawa and tried to crack the code but until now I have not succeeded. I'm not a warrior like you so until now I haven't been able to touch that stone. I guess if I could touch that stone I could try to solve the mystery of that unnaturally arranged stone".
"Unfortunately we're the only way to enter Dieng over that cliff". The phallus smiled wryly.
"You mean?". Siha gasped in shock at the Linga's words. The high cliffs have an almost perpendicular slope, without the rope impossible they pass through.
"Seeing the current situation I'm sure this pier is heavily guarded by the Demon Valley. It will take some time if we have to deal with them here while we only have 4 days before the gate is closed again. The only way we get in there is to get off this cliff". The phallus points to a picture of a cliff on the scroll of the Siha.
"Are you crazy? How do we get past this steep cliff?". Ciha protests with Lingga plan.
"Regarding that I will think while walking but this is the only best way for us right now. The chairman along with Mr. Suliwa looks like he will pass through this pier. They'll be stuck here for a while, which is when we can get in first".
"You don't even think about your own hearing, are you really human?". Ciha stared at Linga.
"Trust that only a few people are able to compensate for the magic of the black demon chief, after all it would be better if we enter first from my knowledge". Say Linga slowly.
"You mean?". Mentari.
"I'm the closest person to him, I know his ambition is so great. All I trust right now is you, we're gonna get in and move fast. After getting what we're looking for we're out as soon as possible".
"So Lingga maheswara is now betraying his own sect?". Sabrang appeared suddenly.
"I just want the martial world to go the way it should". The phallus looks to throw away face.
"So what's the plan? sorry I'm a little late". Sabrang sat next to Mentari while randomly shuffling the girl's hair.
"The writing stone is at the first gate, after us until I will use the fog seal to hide our existence. That'll give me time to translate the Palawa script. All the information regarding the Demon Valley and the Panca lord is said to be on this stone. After that we move to the second gate to fetch life water to treat Miss Mentari, I will renew the gate seal.
If you want to make a pact with the fire dragon herein lies the mist cave". Ciha pointed to the image of a cave. "But you have to hurry we don't know when the demon valley will appear. After all we're done gathering at this point and get out of Dieng as soon as possible".
"This gate?". Sabrang pointed to the third gate.
"That's the third gate, we're not allowed in there. You should also not go in there because the kegelepanan gate is in there". Said Ciha a little scared.
"Is this door also sealed?".
"The third door is a bit different, it looks like the fire seal that locked it".
Sabrang is seen nodding his head while paying attention to the image on the scroll of Ciha.
"We're going to enter the third gate, the Red Valley is not far from it". The fire dragon suddenly spoke.
"Then seal it?" Ask Sabrang.
"If it's a fire seal I'll take care of it".
"What if this stone is Dieng's gate as well?". Sabrang pointed at the cliff wall of the dark hill.
"You mean some rocks that look unnaturally arranged?".
Sabrang nodded softly "We've found a door in a bottomless valley? You're saying that the Valley is bottomless and Dieng seems to be related to each other, right? Isn't it worth trying to check?".
Siha's face turned bright after hearing Sabrang's words.
"You're right, if this is really another entrance to Dieng we don't have to wait for the sea to recede. We can get in faster than them".
"Then what are you waiting for? let's go". The phallus stepped quickly through the river.
"Young master". Mentari arrived holding Sabrang's hand.
"I don't want to drink that water". Mentari dan.
"What are you thinking? you can't live with that poison forever". Sabrang scrunched his forehead.
Mentari kept shaking his head, making Sabrang go awry.
"I don't want to live eternally sir, it seems too troublesome".
"If you are afraid to drink it, I will drink it first. If you're afraid of living alone for hundreds of years I'll keep you company". After Sabrang said so he walked while continuing to hold Mentari's hand.
