The Fire Dragon Sword
Great War IV

A confident smile no longer appeared on Naradipta's face as he saw the huge aura continuously overflowing from Linga's body, he realized the heirloom of the sky sword had chosen his master and it was definitely not good for him.

"How could the soul choose a weakling like him as master? you have made a grave mistake Kemamang," Naradipra said in his heart.

"I've observed all his movements, he's not only fast but his body is strong like iron, it looks like the snake scales all over his body are gathering profound energy and turning him into a natural shield. Now that your body is almost at its limit, you should be able to defeat it as quickly as possible" said Kemamang slowly.

"Speaking is easy but it is very difficult to find the gap in the defense of the almost perfect snake scales" Lingga replied as he prepared to attack.

"There is no perfect correct stance including the scales of the snake, you must continue to approach it, I'm sure the gap will be visible," replied Kemamang.

"approaching? thank you, the plan you made is absolutely perfect," taunted Lingga as he moved to attack.

"Energi Kemamang is indeed very strong, but until when will your body survive with such a great strength? I just need to wait for your body to slowly break down before killing you," Naradipta welcomed the heart-felt Linga attack, this time he decided to keep his distance because fighting close quarters with Kemamang was tantamount to suicide.

Linga used the Devil sword dance as the beginning of her attack which then turned quickly into several other sword styles. His increasingly rapid movements continued to corner Naradipta.

Getting constant pressure does not make Naradipta lose his composure, his fighting experience makes him not panic even though his opponent is a little stronger at the moment. He continued to dodge attacks while maintaining his distance.

"Are you just avoiding now? where was your arrogance and self-confidence?" tajek Lingga slowly.

"If you intend to make me angry it is free, in the fight, the winner will be remembered not how much he attacked" Naradipta replied.

"It's so sad that word came out of your mouth, did your confidence only appear when facing a weak opponent?" Lingga increased his speed, he really wanted to finish off the opponent as fast as possible.

Naradipta gasped in surprise when Lingga suddenly changed the direction of his sword, he tried to jump back to avoid the attack arrived but the speed of Lingga was really beyond his expectations.

His body was thrown backwards as the Linga sword slash struck his back, lucky that the snake scales were still protecting him.

"Damn, the scales of the snake are really hard," said Lingga while regulating the nafa, his body began to feel pain signifying almost reaching its limit.

It was not easy to withstand the explosive energy of the fire in his body and it was very draining of his strength.

"He deliberately stall for time until your body reaches its limit, you must quickly find a way to attack the back of the neck," said Kemamang arrived.

"The back neck? so that's his weakness?" ask Lingga slowly.

"Right, when you just kept attacking him, there were some moves that made me suspicious. He always dodged and tried to keep his neck out of the attack range. You saw for yourself that even your best mane could not penetrate the scales of the snake, so why was he so afraid of having his neck touched?"

"So yes.but still it was very difficult to attack that part, he was so quick and dodged all attacks calmly. I have to use a style that also relies on speed and attack at the right time" Lingga replied confusedly.

As a swordsman who does not have speed like Sabrang, Lingga's swordsmanship relies more on technique and position placement.

"Wait..." Lingga suddenly remembered the twelve levels of the Devil sword dance skill and he could only master up to level eleven because the last skill did not match him.

The last level of the Demon Sword Dance required a high level of speed as there were some changes in sword movements and only Kertaura could master it.

"It looks like I still remember that last move, I will try to use it" Lingga said slowly.

"High his eyes changed, it seemed like he was going to use the last move and that meant he started to realize his body had already reached its limit. Now was the right time to end his resistance and show that I was the right person to be the master of Kemamang," Naradipta drew almost all his inner strength, he was ready with his final attack.

Both of them moved simultaneously and attacked with their respective moves, the sound of explosions continued to be heard as their two heirlooms clashed.

Lingga looked superior this time but Naradipta began to dare to strike back, he waited for the right time until his opponent really reached his limit and finished off with a quick attack.

"He began to dare to attack, it seemed like he was beginning to realize that my speed was starting to decline," Lingga continued to press and occasionally tried to reach the back of Naradipta's neck.

"So you've realized the weakness of my Tameng Waja studies is in the back neck? well if you're so eager to attack that part then I'll give you," Naradipta leapt back before darting back and attacking with all his might.

As Lingga dodged to the side, Naradipta twisted his body to continue pressing his opponent.

Lingga's face changed instantly, he felt Naradipta's movements were too careless and seemed to forget to protect the back of the neck which during the fight had always been the most difficult point to approach.

Not wasting time, Lingga immediately attacked the weak point but was so surprised when Naradipta disappeared from view and appeared behind him.

The silent Naradipta used all his strength to increase his speed at the last moment to knock out the Linga.

"You lose, training as hard as anything can't beat natural talent, I was born to fight, indeed," The huge aura that overflowed from Naradipta's body pressed down on Linga quickly along with a swing of the sword that was ready to slash through Linga's body.

"Final level sword Demon Dance: The cold wind of death."

Naradipta gasped in shock as his attack was able to be broken, the Linga spun rapidly and counter-attacked.

"This is the person I chose as the Fire Dragon master, one day he will surpass my previous master," the Fire Lord gave a large amount of energy to the Linga.

Sabetan by sabetage hit Naradipta's body, although the scales continued to protect his body but due to the impact some of his ribs were broken.

"No way!" as Naradipta panics.

He tried to dodge the Lingga's attack with all his might but the Devil's sword dance moves seemed to have no gaps at all.

Right after his body was thrown far enough away, he saw that Lingga was already behind him and a moment later felt a tremendous pain in his back neck.

"No way! natural talent will never be defeated."

"The talent you have may be great but it's useless without you training hard. That Fire Dragon possessor has a much greater talent than you but he continues to hone it with practice because he is aware talent alone will not be enough in battle," The sky sword decapitated Naradipta quickly.

Naradipta's body collapsed to the ground when his head was separated from his body. Today, his pride was shattered instantly by the swordsman he called out to have no talent.

Lingga stared at Naradipta's body long enough, as if to say that hard work is able to defeat warriors with any talent.

"You've lost since you forgot your training for being too proud of your talent" Lingga's body suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"My energy is up" said Lingga annoyed.

"I will try to recover the energy in yours, there is no time to rest, I feel there is a big energy that is approaching Jawata," said Kemamang slowly.

"Great Energy?"

***

The White Fox stopped its attack and leapt back when it felt the Linga energy pressing down on its body for a moment.

"Since when has he had this much inner power?" the White Fox was confused.

"Have you given up and realized that no one has been able to break through my ice defenses?" Ajidarma.

Ajidarma looks so confident because almost all attacks of the White Fox can be broken by the surrounding ice walls. His counterattack was even capable of injuring the White Fox once in a while.

Ajidarma had actually quietly acknowledged the power of the White Fox and he was not sure of being able to defeat it either but as long as the ice wall was working properly, he would only need to wait for his opponent to run out of strength in and kill him.

"Rush? the descendants of Rakin Aryasatya do not know that word, you should give up because with that style, you are just a grain of sand in front of Sabrang," mocked the White Fox.

"You mean the young man with the ice style? I'm sorry but maybe he's almost dead at the moment" Ajidarma replied.

"Almost dead? you sure?" ask the cynical White Fox.

"What do you mean?" asked Ajidarma with a surprised face, he felt the face of the White Fox as if saying Sabrang had survived.

A few seconds later his question was answered when he saw Hangareksa and Cokro darting towards the Khayangan Temple.

"You won't be able to lock her up, Wardhana always has a way to escape even from the pit of ants. You've lost, you'd better surrender before I do anything rude" said the White Fox as he prepared to attack.

"Give up to the one who can't even touch me? I'll kill you first before I clean them up and rule this world with that forbidden civilization. It's enough for me to suffer and pretend to be a cripple for thousands of years" Ajidarma said.

"You will not be able, we will continue to be strong because we are surrounded by strong people, different from you who have been accustomed to puja, we were always trying to continue being strong and chasing after the child," a burst of energy suddenly arrived out from the White Fox's body along with the appearance of a blood red aura enveloping his cleaver.

"He still holds this much power?" ajidarma's face changed again after receiving considerable pressure. Some of the ice walls that protected him during the fight had even been seen cracking slowly.

"White Fox, you're finally going to use my powers. Are you almost dead right now?" suanggi said, the spirit of the White Fox's inheritance Golok in his mind.

"You really are a dumb bitch, shut up and help me or you'll be far away from them" replied the White Fox.

"Lost?" suanggi asked puzzledly before turning around like he was looking for something. "So besides that damn fire Devil, Siren and Kemamang have already risen? it's interesting" he said with a smile.

"Your power may be the closest to the Fire Dragon but you sometimes get out of control and that's why you won't be able to surpass the Fire Dragon. But I will give you one more chance, if you still act I will seal your power forever," the White Fox suddenly moved to attack, he turned his head towards Wardhana who was at the top of the temple before swinging his sword.

"Hurry to finish everything Wardhana, we've been in this place for too long, I'm sure Malwageni needs your help right now."

The sound of a huge explosion shocked Wardhana and the others who were on top of the Khayangan Temple but were most surprised explained Ajidarma because for the first time the ice shield he was most proud of was destroyed by the White Fox's slash.

"The aura in the White Fox master's body is different, although the servant does not really understand the science of canuragan but the aura feels very scary," said Wardhana slowly.

"There are not many young swordsmen whose hair is forced to whiten due to the effects of the studied science and the White Fox is one of them. The hair was not bleached by chance, the enormous internal energy pressure forced the body to evolve which caused the hair cells to become damaged.

Perhaps what we saw today was the true power that the White Fox had hidden for some reason. This fight is over, his opponent will feel how terrible the science that makes his hair whitened" said Sekar Pitaloka.

Wardhana nodded in agreement, she saw the White Fox as a different and more terrifying figure.

"Then what about that secret gate, is there really something that the forbidden civilization is hiding?" ask Sekar Pitaloka.

"Hamba does not know as far as the Queen Mother but one that I believe, in the secret gate that is hidden the reason Lemuria left this place and its relationship with the Atlantis Tribe," answered Wardhana slowly.

"Where is the secret gate? quickly open because maybe Malwageni does not have much time at this time," said Sekar Pitaloka.

"Sorry Queen Mother, they were very careful to hide the gate and the servant actually needed the moonlight to find the exact point of the lever that would open the gate of the most advanced civilization in this world. But as you said we don't have much time to wait for the night, I'll try to find the lever point with the help of sunlight, although it's a little complicated."

Wardhana again concentrated after the big explosion, he had a little trouble calculating the exact point using sunlight because the direction was a little different.

"Thinking Wardhana, they must have prepared another clue because the moonlight doesn't always appear" Wardhana's face suddenly changed when she realized something.

"Hint? they shouldn't have left any clues if the civilization didn't want to be found, is it possible that they deliberately gave clues in order to be found?" wardhana said in her heart.

Wardhana then put together all the clues about the ancient civilization with the appearance of the Sabdo Lodge at the Khayangan Temple before being taken away by Arda Sukma and also about the writing on the stone that covers the system hallway water disposal.

"Don't don't...." Wardhana almost spoke something to Sekar Pitaloka before her eyes were fixed on one point.

The shadow of the building at the top of the Temple by the sunlight is seen in the lake water which is surging due to the effects of the fight of the White Fox and Ajidarma.

The shadow formed several imperfect rectangular symbols on the water that seemed to be split apart by another shadow.

"It looks like this is a clue to open the gate, I almost made a mistake again because I was too focused on this ancient lake" Wardhana said in her heart, he looked up at the sky and saw where the sun was.

"So, this imperfect symbol happened because the location of the sun has shifted a little, Queen Mother I have found where the secret gate is," said Wardhana while inviting down from the top of the Khayangan Temple.

"The sun's shifting a little?" ask Sekar confused.

"Sorry Gusti the queen, all this time I was too focused on the ancient Lake and assume in the lake that is the location of the gate opening lever and it was a big mistake because the lake was deliberately used as a cheat.

The water bubbles that sometimes appear in the lake do indicate there is a secret room underneath but maybe just an ordinary room deliberately made to outwit and keep away from the main door. They're really good at hiding everything" Wardhana replied quickly.

"Then if the secret chamber under the lake was a trick, where was the ancient civilization's gate located?" ask Sekar back.

"Ajidarma room, that's where the main gate is located. The building at the top of the Khayangan temple is just a clue to slide the stone on the floor of the room and open the main lever.

They really amaze you because all the complexity of this mystery shows how advanced the Lemurian civilization is," Wardhana stopped his steps when he met the Hangareks who were heading to the top of the Temple.

"Have you found it?" tanya Hangareksa.

Wardhana just nodded while pointing at the room in front of her.

"That's where the gate is and for thousands of years, Ajidarma was unaware that he was the one closest to the gate of the Lemurian civilization" Wardhana sneered as she opened the door.

Story behind the scenes.......

"So you mean the person closest to the gate of Lemuria?" tanya Hangareksa was surprised.

"True, like Singles who are not aware if their soul mate is around them. The insensitive nature formed for thousands of years due to menjomblo to rusting makes them lose their soul mate, similar to a garong cat who is too busy glancing at the clear goods and is not aware of his food in the arms of other cats.

They too confidently consider the face of hanging persimmon as perfect good looks, that's the biggest mistake of the Singles," answered Wardhana while sipping coffee Lampung which is cheap but tastes good.

"This crazy coffee mantep really, you have to buy by contacting the Instagram account rickyferrianwicaksono before the war with Arkantara let our troops win," continued Wardhana while staring at the camera in front of him.

"Ah lu lebai War, where coffee is the same," Hanggareksa began to be interested in the coffee in the cup that reads "Vote donk"

"This is different bro, many Singles who immediately get a partner after drinking Lampung coffee picked directly from the source. If you don't believe buy dong and feel the sensation," Wardhana replied.

"Wah so curious cave, okay I've added the new IG pesen," said Hanggareksa interested.

"But can't you owe me, you think he's winking, the coffee beans come out that way? no, he bought it, too" Wardhana replied quickly.

"The blo'on gini man is an enemy of the cave? fall the self-esteem of the cave as a criminal," Umpat Mandala who hides on a tree.
