The Fire Dragon Sword
Wardhana's Oath
Sabrang brought up dozens of ice shards revolving around his body before throwing them at his opponent,
"Ice moves?" the mysterious swordsman was trying to fend off the ice shards with his sword but due to the attack speed and the amount being too much, he was forced to jump back.
"What are you really thinking? you were almost killed if I had reacted too late" Sabrang said worriedly.
"Your majesty, you.." Mentari's body went limp instantly, his heart beat faster than usual and his tears flowed out unstoppably.
Mentari's breath was tight when he saw the man he loved the most suddenly arrived after a long disappearance, although Mentari never lost faith if Sabrang was alive but worry always tormented him so far.
Sabrang looked gently at Mentari who was still silently sculpting, guilt appeared in her heart when she saw the woman she loved so much that she continued to shed tears.
"If you're in the capital, why don't you go see a servant?" mentari lirih.
"Please wait a minute" Sabrang said as he formed a wall of ice as the mysterious swordsman moved against him.
"Do you think that ice skillet is capable of stopping my sword attack?" the swordsman poured more power into his sword to smash the ice wall that blocked Sabrang.
"You'd better not use my energy in this fight or they'll know who you are" the Fire Dragon said.
"I know," Sabrang said, using saketi's melting core study to draw energy from anom.
"Anom!" Sabrang pressed his right palm against the ice wall just before the ice shattered instantly.
The swordsman looked surprised to see Sabrang smashing his own ice wall, but all his confusion was answered as dozens of keris energies shot towards him among the flakes of ice flying through the air.
"He deliberately smashed the ice wall to disguise his attack," the swordsman pulled his attack quickly and tried to dodge it.
But how shocked the swordsman was when dozens of keris energies had already surrounded him in the air. Sabrang pulled the dozens of keris while moving closer.
"Damn it," The Swordsman did not remain silent, he released a greater aura and deflected the directed attack on him perfectly.
"The movement is very fast," Sabrang raised the twin Pengilon swords and attacked the swordsman.
The sound of the clash of swords rang out every time the two heirlooms clashed, after exchanging dozens of moves in the air, Sabrang clearly looked superior even though he had not used the energy of the Fire Dragon yet.
Sabrang's calmness reading the opponent's movements and his moon eyes made him able to urge his opponent slowly.
The mysterious swordsman was not without a fight, he had already exerted all his abilities to keep up with Sabrang who was getting faster but to no avail.
"The eagle dance," Sabrang approached quickly along with a dilation of keris energy that followed his body.
When Sabrang's attack hit his opponent, something strange happened, his sword seemed to pierce through the swordsman's body.
"How is that possible?" Sabrang looked surprised to see his sword as if it was just splitting the air.
Sabrang leaped back as the swordsman counterattacked, he sharpened his lunar eyes to read every move of his opponent.
"The attack is slowing down, what's really going on?" Sabrang looked puzzled as his opponent's attack speed slowed down rapidly.
"Damn it, half my inner strength is drained from using the illusionary body style, I have to quickly escape. This young warrior is really strong" said the warrior in his heart.
Sabrang changed his body movements suddenly, he used the twin Pengilon swords to strike back.
Superior far in terms of speed makes Sabrang easier to suppress his opponent, he released the Rajawali dance style while using the level II Saketi melting core study.
The air around the swordsman became dense instantly making it difficult to move.
"Air wall of the book of Sabdo Lodge? no, this was not that stance, this air condensed due to the effect of his inner power, how could he be this strong?"
Several sword slashes hit the swordsman's body right before a pitch-black aura suddenly enveloped the entire battle area.
"What else is this?" the swordsman was annoyed, he was trying to get out of that air wall but how shocked he was as the black aura formed dozens of dagger energies in the air.
"Destroying keris energy" A huge explosion occurred as dozens of keris energy hit the body of the mysterious swordsman.
"He was different, not only did his magic grow stronger but his calmness in fighting amazed me" Siren Takjub said.
"There is no more killing that scares me sometimes. Your Honor, what exactly happens when you disappear?" Mentari was no less surprised, he saw Sabrang's fight from start to finish.
His movements were so calm, Sabrang was even able to maximize the power of Anom who had been covered by the Fire Dragon, he could make Anom look far above the Fire Dragon.
"It looks like he can suppress his ego and his passions, he will get stronger from now on" Siren replied softly.
"Now I know why you chose the Fire Dragon, you are really smart" Siren said in his heart.
"He managed to escape?" Sabrang stared at the large hole due to the burst of keris energy, there was no body of anyone in the hole. Only a splash of blood was on the wall of the hole.
After making sure the swordsman had left, Sabrang turned around and stepped closer to Mentari. Dozens of keris energies still flying in the air shot towards his body and fused with the black aura that enveloped his body.
The aura slowly disappeared along with the moon's eyes returning to normal.
Sabrang unfolded his face cover and smiled gently at Mentari.
"Sorry I can only see you now, a lot happened after the destruction of Mount Padang," said Sabrang slowly.
"Hamba always believed you were alive, never for a second thought you were dead Your Majesty," Mentari stepped quickly and hugged Sabrang's body tightly.
Mentari seemed no longer concerned that the man before him was a Malwageni King, he continued to hug Sabrang as if he did not want to let go for a second.
"I'm sorry, Dance," Sabrang rubbed his hair gently.
***
After showing royal identification and a letter from Arkantara, they were escorted by two south Wind warriors to the main Hall. It seems that ten people brought various kinds of tributes that would be given to the King of Malwageni as gifts.
They looked at the astonishment of the magnificent building of the inner palace while occasionally observing the surroundings.
After passing through several buildings, they finally reached the Main Hall.
Wardhana looks welcoming in front of the gate of the hall with Paksi and Tungga Dewi.
"Welcome sir," said Tungga Goddess kindly.
"Thank you for the welcome of the queen, sorry if our arrival is a little inconvenient," replied one of the envoys kindly.
"Don't be too proud sir, a pride for our kingdom to have a visit from Arkantara," Tungga Dewi then introduced Wardhana and Axis to the envoys.
"He is Mr. Wardhana, the coach of Malwageni and this is Mr. Paksi, the minister of government."
"It is nice to meet you Mr. Patih, Servant of Tama and he is Parulian. We are emissaries of the Arkantara kingdom," Tama lowered her head in salute.
Wardhana just nodded with a friendly smile, she then asked one of the soldiers to take the messenger to the room that Wardhana had prepared.
"Please take Mr. Tama to the guest hall to rest and make sure you serve well" Wardhana said softly.
"Okay, Mr. Patih. Master sir, please come with me," Candrakurama who was wearing the southern Wind warrior outfit stepped away after saluting the Goddess Tungga.
Tungga Dewi stared at the departure of the envoys with a confused face, he then turned to look at Wardhana to ask for an explanation.
"Uncle put Candrakurama as the guard troops of the envoys?"
"One told the servant to be careful of the Arkantara messenger, he felt that there was a hidden purpose to their visit. I asked Candrakurama to be nearby to observe their movements" Wardhana replied softly.
"Someone?" tanya Tungga Dewi was curious.
"Sorry Gusti the queen, for now I really can't say it yet but she will meet us soon" Wardhana replied.
Tungga Dewi was silent, he could already guess the ready meant by Wardhana because only one person could make the coach Malwageni submissive but Tungga Dewi was too afraid to guess.
"May my guess be correct because soon his son will be born," replied Tungga Dewi with a trembling voice.
"Uncle, I don't want to be bothered tonight, please prepare all for the meeting tomorrow morning," Tungga Dewi stepped away with a smile on her lips.
"It seems I can guess who you mean Wardhana," Paki said.
"I can't hide anything from the teacher, he's back but for a while His Majesty ordered me to keep everything a secret until we find out what the Arkantara envoy meant" Wardhana replied softly.
"Indeed, it is very strange for the kingdom that has been closing itself suddenly to send messengers, especially at the end of this news is heard that they began to conquer the kingdom of the small kingdom. If my guess is correct, this time we will face the greatest war in the history of the Malwageni" Paksi replied.
"Teachers think so too? then what should I do when I face them tomorrow?"
Axis chuckled at Wardhana's question, seeing his face only he understood that his student had a plan.
"I don't know what you're thinking but you have to properly manage this situation well. If we fight today, they clearly came out as the winner because their military power is very strong while the Malwageni just had an all-out battle with Saung Galah.
If I may give you a little advice, know your strength first before seeking the enemy's weakness, for the key to victory of a battle sometimes arises from your own army. Facing a very strong enemy like them, you should know*when to attack and when not to fight* because a battle will not be determined one day.
Make sure your troops are ready for battle for a long time because it will be mentally and vigorously draining, when all the little details are taken into account, Arkantara is only a small stone for Malwageni to master Nuswantoro and at this time I have to admit only you have the ability to realize it all," Paksi said while patting Wardhana's shoulder.
"Know your strength first before looking for enemy weakness huh?" Wardhana nodded softly, she understood very well the meaning of the Axis speech.
"Traitors coming from our own forces and leaking military power to the enemy have always caused an empire to be destroyed. I will make sure the Malwageni Army is clean from all traitors even though this hand must be covered in blood" Wardhana continued.

"Have you been a soldier of the south wind for a long time?" tanya Tama arrived at Candrakurama while showing them two luxurious rooms. He seemed not too interested in which room they would occupy.
"New few full moon master," replied Candrakurama slowly, she opened the room door for the two envoys and let them in.
"What makes you want to be a soldier?" tanya Tama is back.
"Hamba just wants to help the parents" replied Candrakurama.
"Help the family? you are a good young man, may Malwageni treat you well" Tama replied with a smile.
"Sorry sir, if there's nothing more you need the servant beg yourself. If it's time for the grave night, there will be a lady-in-waiting to pick you up," Candrakurama lowered her head before stepping away.
"You will be the key to the conquest of Arkantara this time young man" Tama said in his heart.

Some of the words I have guessed are like knowing your strength first before searching for the enemy's weakness and when it's time to attack and when not to fight, I quote from a best war expert I admire named Sun Tzu.
In his admiration for Sun Tzu, I created the character of Wardhana by imagining his cleverness. If it's Sabrang, I created this character while looking at myself in front of the mirror (Don't protest you Mblo!!).
Lastly, I want to tell you again that PNA finally has someone who khilaf make the Audio. Please visit by searching in the search button for the title of the novel (Dragon Sword Singlo eh Fire Dragon).
For those who listen to me pray every rainy week night.
