The Fire Dragon Sword
End of Battle
The death of Umbara made Masalembo more cornered, some sects supporting Masalembo even have no intention to fight anymore. They tried to escape even though it was not easy to escape from the pursuit of the Jawata alliance.
Wardhana gave the order to re-use the Kannaya Wyuha strategy (a strategy of war with a layered circle) to besiege the Masalembo alliance that was trying to escape.
Arung and Vijaya immediately moved to lead the troops to form a large circle that surrounded the Masalembo army.
"Don't let a single person escape" cried Wardhana.
The elders of the sect led by Brajamusti also moved to help the alliance army.
"Your Majesty, I already know the location of the entrance of Masalembo" said Wardhana slowly when colliding with Sabrang.
Sabrang nodded slowly, "After clearing them all up, we leave," Sabrang replied as he created dozens of keris energies in the air.
"It's time to clear the grudges of the past" Sabrang moved at high speed and killed everything he passed.
"Wind of level II demon exterminator: Dark wind", Sabrang's body seemed to disappear so quickly he moved. A dozen swordsmen collapsed to the ground with almost the same wound, their stomachs torn apart by the fire dragon sword.
Sabrang gripped and pulled one of the warriors near him to protect his body from the opponent's attack just before he swung his sword with all his might.
"The storm of hell" the blaze that shot from his sword burned everything near him.
"Reverse, do not approach him", shouted one of the swordsmen while jumping backwards but suddenly his body began to burn fire as a sword struck right on his back.
"It's not just him who can burn someone" Emmy said as he pulled out his sword.
"The fist of the wind", Sabrang stomped his feet on the ground and in an instant dozens of rocks flew around.
Sabrang twisted his hands as if he was dancing before flicking his hands which made the pulses of stone shot in all directions and penetrated the bodies of the Masalembo warriors.
The flames in his body continued to grow along with his ever-increasing speed.
Gendis who saw his alliance slaughtered could not do anything because it kept suppressed Tungga goddess and Mentari. Although the science of kanuragan both are taken, but the combination of attacks by two Jawata women was able to urge him.
Gendis could have fled but imagined the severe punishment he would receive from Masalembo.
Defeat is strictly forbidden by the rulers of the world and the punishment is death.
"You all really got me in trouble" Gendis turned her sword while jumping back but Mentari seemed to not let it go.
Dozens of ice knives almost hit his body if Gendis realized too late.
When he tried to attack Mentari, Tungga Dewi attacked him with the Rajawali dance style. The attack arrived when the goddess Tungga was able to break the concentration of Gendis, she did not realize the shadow seal of Mentari was approaching her and locked her shadow.
"Damn, my body cannot move", Gendis released an aura from her body to release the Mentari seal but suddenly blood began to flow from her nose and ears.
"Poisons?", Gendis gasped in shock.
"My shadow seal contains the poison of black roses, you will begin to feel what I felt first. Your body will start to react as my poison begins to spread within your vital organs. We may not be your match but nothing is impossible if we work together," Mentari released an eternal ice skirt to clutch at the fatty's leg because she realized her shadow seal was unable to hold Gendis for too long.
Mentari gave a sign by raising his hand to give a final attack on the goddess Tungga.
Not until one second Tungga the goddess released the sword of destruction to take the head of Gendis.
The body of the warrior Masalembo collapsed to the ground with a blackened body.
Tungga goddess sheathed her sword while enduring the pain in her body. Mentari had the body of the goddess Tungga who almost collapsed.
"We won" said Mentari.
The battle ended when a fire blast hit almost the entire Masalembo alliance army.
Sabrang seemed to be standing between the blasts of flames while pulling out all the remaining keris energy. He looked around while taking a deep breath.
"Battle always asks for many lives, now all seem to be the same, killing for something we believe to be true. Am I the real Masalembo as Grandpa Rakiti once said?" muttered Sabrang lirih.
Piles of corpses were visible throughout the eyes, the great victory this time did not make them happy because the victims fell on their side not a little.
Wardhana then split his army into teams. Some are in charge of evacuating dozens of wounded warriors and some others buried piles of corpses around the colorful lake.
"I'll help the others inside, tell Uncle Wijaya to see me tonight" Sabrang told Wardhana.
"Okay, Your Majesty," Wardhana replied softly.
***
The atmosphere of the night after the great battle with Masalembo was still gripping, the smell of blood still smelled quite pungent around the Fire and wind sect.
Dozens of warriors are seen still getting treatment by other warriors.
Wijaya looked at the door of one of the rooms in the Fire and Wind sect, he was hesitant to knock on the door.
Wardhana who stood behind him looked a small smile while shaking slowly.
"Don't make His Majesty wait too long, sir, he can be the most gentle person but on the other hand can be the most cruel person when it comes to Malwageni. Come in and face the problems you've created, I'm sure Your Majesty has forgiven you."
Wijaya nodded slowly, he knocked on the door after gathering all his courage.
"Jaya please go to His Majesty," he said slowly.
"Come in, "reply Sabrang from within.
Wijaya stepped in followed by Wardhana after hearing Sabrang's speech.
Wijaya and Wardhana looked surprised when they saw Sabrang meditating. The red aura that enveloped his body seemed to be trying to absorb the energy within them.
Sabrang opened his eyes and invited them to sit down but Wijaya immediately knelt before Sabrang.
"Hamba is ready to accept the death penalty for the actions of the servant on Malwageni His Majesty, but the servant begs you to hand down the punishment yourself. A pride for servants can die in the hands of His Majesty," said Wijaya slowly.
"Dead in my hand? I can't grant him uncle" Sabrang said softly.
"Your highness" said Wijaya lirih.
"Uncle once said that the punishment of a traitor is death because Malwageni does not know the word traitor. Does that still happen?."
Wijaya nodded slowly, he realized there was no mercy for a traitor whatever the reason and he was ready to accept the punishment.
"Uncle actions can kill dozens of Malwageni soldiers who are currently fighting to reclaim Malwageni, uncle's mistake this time is really big," Sabrang raised his hand and created a kris energy right before Wijaya.
"Uncle know what to do with the keris," said Sabrang cold.
"Your Majesty", Wardhana tried to defend Vijaya but a kris appeared before him.
"Will uncle betray?", asked Sabrang.
"Hamba doesn't dare, Your Majesty," Wardhana knelt down before Sabrang.
"Hamba once failed to protect Her Majesty the Queen and this time the servant failed to carry out the duties mandated by Her Majesty Arya Dwipa. Please forgive your Majesty's servant so that I can die peacefully", said Wijaya as he grabbed the keris that floated before him.
"Be the revered Dragon Malwageni and take His Majesty to the pinnacle of glory, never make mistakes like I did", Wijaya turned his head back towards Sabrang.
"Thank you for all your trust so far, Your Majesty, please forgive me again", Vijaya pulled the kris and blasting the heart, the kris looked translucent to his back.
Wardhana closed her eyes, unable to see her comrades-in-arms die at the end of her King's keris.
Wijaya's countenance changed instantly as he felt no pain at all, not even a single drop of blood coming out of his body.
"Your majesty" said Wijaya when he saw Sabrang's blue eyes shining brightly.
Wardhana opened her eyes when she felt something strange, how could Wijaya still talk when the dark ruler's keris rained on her body.
"I used my space and time to protect your body and I assume Vijaya the traitor committed suicide because mistakes remain mistakes and uncle has to make up for it.
Today I revoke my uncle's title as Patih Malwageni, I will place my uncle as commander of the south Wind forces under the orders of Uncle Sora and appoint Uncle Wardhana as the new coach. I hope uncle understands why I dropped my uncle, I want uncle to go back to fighting for him without asking anyone.
Give my uncle's life to Malwageni as a guilt-redeemer because I still desperately need Uncle Wijaya's help."
Vijaya fell silent after hearing Sabrang's forgiveness of him.
"Did the uncle accept it?" asked Sabrang.
"Hamba received all His Majesty's wishes, thank you for your kindness".
Wardhana smiled with relief after seeing Sabrang's decision.
"You're growing up Your Majesty, I'm sure you'll be a wise King one day" Wardhana murmured inwardly.
"Have you heard from Ciha about the last gate?", Sabrang asked Wardhana.
Wardhana nodded softly, "She asked to meet tomorrow morning, it looks like she has already found the final gate clue".
"Uncle must find the gate as soon as possible so that we can directly attack Masalembo before they hear the news of the destruction of the alliance army led by Umbara."
"Good Your Majesty", Wardhana replied.
"Then where is the main gate of Masalembo uncle? I heard uncle has entered it?", asked Sabrang to Wijaya.
"Hamba does not know the exact location of His Majesty because when entering the eyes of the servants closed the black cloth but some of the warriors they called the mountain Tidar", replied Wijaya.
"Mount tidar?" said Sabrang and Wardhana simultaneously.
"Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?" ask Wijaya confused.
"Tidar mountain or commonly referred to as Jawata land balancing nail is the location of Lake Khayangan fire, how could Masalembo be there?".
Wardhana unrolled the scroll he got in Wentira.
"This is the location of Masalembo which is located in the middle of the ocean, the distance of the location of Tidar and the mainland of Masalembo is quite far, how is it possible that the gate is on Mount Tidar?" said Wardhana confused.
