The Fire Dragon Sword
The Mystery of the Red Lotus and Dieng Group
The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the corners of Dieng forest whenever the swords of Maruta Dan Sabrang clashed. After exchanging dozens of moves clearly visible Sabrang much stronger, proven with a few scratches on Maruta's body while Maruta has not managed to touch Sabrang.
"Why do you keep buying time? Defeat him immediately, his morning dew sword continued to absorb Dieng's energy. It would be very dangerous if the sword continued to grow stronger". Said the fire dragon impatiently.
"I don't want the incident experienced by Ken Panca repeated again, if I kill him there will be another Mahendra Mahendra popping. The only way to stop all this is to straighten out history. I want the Demon Valley to know what's inside the gate and why Ken Panca killed his followers".
"That eye is always troublesome, if only Mr. Ajisaka had not prevented me from using it then I would have already finished it". Maruta continued to move to avoid Sabrang's attack, Maruta really made only able to survive.
"You better stop this before I have to hurt you worse, I just want to talk to you, there's a misunderstanding about this place". Sabrang quickened his movements and unleashed several punches onto Maruta's body.
"This place is wrong! Panca savagely took out all his loyal followers. I will kill all Panca's men, including yourself, to avenge the wounds of the past. After that I will change the order of the martial world using the flute of the demon king".
"You really are a stone head, I told you the fifth heirloom doesn't exist". Said Sabrang while swinging his sword. Realizing Sabrang's attack was very fast Maruta decided to move first, he kept his distance.
"You think I believe that heirlooms don't exist? You just want to master the heirloom for its own sake".
Sabrang shook his head slowly "I really have to knock you out first". Sabrang let go of some of his northern ice claw, Maruta could only continue to dodge and keep his distance.
When Sabrang appeared, he arrived behind and attacked quickly, Maruta had no choice but to accept the attack. He twisted his body and swung his morning dew sword. Maruta's face suddenly turned bad when he saw Sabrang change his sword movements at the last moment. Sabrang turned back before his left arm grabbed Maruta by the neck and threw him into a tree.
Unresolved Maruta's shock, Sabrang had appeared before him with his palm already touching his body.
"Ware I fooled". Maruta tried to grab Sabrang's arm but it was too late.
"The eternal ice god's gusts". As Maruta was enveloped in ice, he could only stare at Sabrang from within the ice.
Sabrang made a small fire in his hand and melted the ice that covered Maruta's head.
"I want to talk to you, where's Mahendra?". Ask Sabrang slowly.
"I swear I will kill you even if I have to sell my soul to the devil". Maruta did not answer Sabrang's question.
Sabrang let out a long sigh, he did not expect that this matter really caused such a deep grudge to the Demon Valley.
"Everything is not what you think, at least some of it". Sabrang tried to explain it but he was confused where to start.
"You think I'm gonna listen to Ken Panca's progeny? you are the same, blinded by power and willing to sacrifice anything including his loyal followers". Maruta said with vengeance.
"My ancestors only tried to prevent the fighting demons from coming out of Dieng, maybe the way was wrong but all for the sake of the martial world. If indeed you want to demand a reply you can look for me after this but I say once again to you, there is never a fifth heirloom, ever, what's inside that gate is a fighting Demon tribe and if you keep forcing that gate open then the whole world will be destroyed. I really need to talk to Mahendra".
Maruta smiled cynically "You think I just believe it? Panca was just trying to cover up the disgrace of her past".
Sabrang shook his head slowly, he really did not understand what to do.

The phallus can hardly talk when they appear in the river behind the cliff. The river where they appeared was almost covered with trees around it. Moist air due to lack of sunlight makes the river water very cold.
Cliffs that become a barrier between the first and second gate look sturdy with light green color indicates the lubrication attached almost all over the cliff wall
Dozens of heirlooms stuck on the edge of the river that has been filled with moss makes Lingga scrunch his forehead.
"The heirloom has a terrifying aura". Linga murmuring in the heart. Dozens of stones lined up neatly near the heirloom like a place of worship facing a cliff wall.
"Does the heirloom have an owner?".
Ciha shook her head slowly "This heirloom appears out of nowhere and for what no one knows, even Mr. Panca himself did not know about the heirloom that often appears in Dieng".
"This place has been driving me crazy for a long time". The phallus smiled wryly. The deeper they go, the more mysteries they discover.
"Where is the water of life?". Wulan sari as it emerges from the river. He then put Mentari's body on the ground.
"You okay?". Wulan Sari asked the girl in front of him.
Mentari nodded softly "I just need to gather back my inner strength nek". Mentari sat cross-legged while closing her eyes.
"If we follow this river we will find a small lake filled with black roses. That's where the water of life is".
"Well let's go, you gotta drink that water right away". The phallus is holding Ciha back.
Throughout the journey Wulan Sari could not stop amazed. The trees are lined neatly as if deliberately planted with a certain purpose because after being observed by Wulan sari all the plants were facing the cliff wall.
Wulan sari's eyes stopped as she stared at a temple-like building standing firmly on the river. The look on his face changed after observing the building.
"Red curtain". Wulan sari stopped her steps.
"Hey let's go fast". Linga turned towards Wulan Sari who continued to pay attention to the building.
Wulan sari only fell silent while continuing to observe the building.
"Building with a temple-like shape is characteristic of the Red Lotus. I'm sure whoever built the temple has some connection to my group".
"Red curtain? so you're from the red lotus group?". Ciha was surprised to hear the words of Wulan Sari.
"Right, I'm the head of the red lotus group". Wulan sari replied briefly while continuing to pay attention to the building. He was really surprised how the building could exist at the second gate, whereas according to his ancestral records they only arrived at the first gate.
"If you are from the red lotus group, then you can read the Charakara?". Ciha looks excited again.
Wulan sari nodded "Aksara Carakan we used to use when writing on the slate as a sign of a new chairman change".
"Good, there's something I want to show you. Please take me to the building". Pinta Ciha on Linga.
"Don't you have to quickly drink the water of life?". The Linga protests, however, are urgently needed to uncover all this.
"I'm sure the temple is one of the most important clues to uncovering everything here. When I entered to accompany Lord Birawa I realized that the one who built the temple was the Red Lotus. They built the temple for a specific purpose. I tried to find out by reading the slate they made at the temple but I did not understand the Carakan script. We'd better take a break there while trying to read the clues".
"So it's true that this temple was built by my ancestors?". Ask Wulan Sari curiously.
Ciha nodded slowly "The pentagon-like building of the temple with its large dome decoration is the red lotus cirikhas. The sky star had been in contact several times with the Red Lotus".
Wulan sari looks excited to step closer to the temple on the river.
"Well, let's see what information my ancestors left behind". Wulan Sari opened the door of the temple to the heart of the heart.
