The Fire Dragon Sword
Secular Sacrifice Pitaloka
"We're late" said a man who appeared in the air as he saw hundreds of warriors killed.
"No...If you look at the condition of Sabrang's body, there should still be a few seconds to change things, hopefully," Sekar Pitaloka jumped into one of the big trees and prepared to use his nurse.
As Sekar Pitaloka was preparing something, four warriors suddenly appeared and moved at high speed towards him followed by a pair of spears spinning in the air.
"Winara, use your best seal to protect the Queen Mother, the rest follow me. We must keep Ken Panca and the red Lembayung warriors away from the queen mother so that she can prepare everything" Tantri jumped onto one of the trees before snatching Winara's pair of spears.
"I see, give me a few seconds to start," replied Winara quickly.
"May the queen mother succeed" Tantri said in her heart as she moved forward.
But how surprised he was when his movements suddenly stopped in mid-air along with the appearance of Ken Panca before him.
"Do you think you can stop me?" Ken Panca swung his sword with all his might.
"Brains!" The eagle standing not far from the girl seemed to be trying to move his body with all his might but to no avail.
"Ce.so fast..." Ken Panca's saber almost beheaded Tantri if Lakeswara is late using the time and space techniques to move the girl's body.
"Space and time?" Ken Panca turned to Lakeswara, who was ready with his sword.
"Would you please quickly use the seal and protect Sekar Pitaloka, I will try to hold him for a while" Lakeswara said before moving on.
"Lakeswara Dwipa. You owe me one slash," Ken Panca moved to welcome the attack.
"Winara, they're getting closer! can't you speed up the seal...!" gendis shouted as she saw dozens of Red Lembayung warriors moving towards them.
"I'm trying!" reply Winara quickly.
"Hurry up, we won't be able to fight while protecting the Queen Mother's body," Gendis threw out a dozen of her flying knives while moving forward followed by Tantri and Eagle.
"Kirana, lend me your strength!" Tantri threw a pair of twin spears into the air while increasing her speed.
"Do you think you can act?" The eagle jumped high in the air before releasing a considerable amount of sword energy.
"Spread! Kill them all," shouted one of the red Lembayung warriors before welcoming the Eagle attack.
A sizable explosion resounded in the air as the swordsman managed to resist the Eagle's attack.
The Eagle's attack became a marker that their resistance had not been exhausted. The young warriors were the last hope to turn things around.
Although they were aware the mission this time was almost impossible given the considerable difference in strength but there was a speck of hope in Wardhana's plan that preserved the fire of their spirit.
"Do whatever it takes to look after the Queen Mother" cried Tantri excitedly
A strange aura suddenly enveloped Sekar Pitaloka's body as the study of controlling his time began to activate. Sekar's body began to tremble violently as almost all of the life energy in his body was absorbed completely by that aura.
"Sabrank... Fight and make sure you stop Ken Panca's crazy plan, it's time for me to meet your father. I'm sure he'll be proud of you, son" Sekar Pitaloka began to open his eyes along with the cessation of time for a few seconds.
Ken Panca who was fighting with Lakeswara gasped in surprise when he recognized the strange aura coming from Sekar Pitaloka's body.
"This aura is impossible..." Ken Panca immediately moved quickly towards Sekar Pitaloka but Lakeswara did not stay still, he forced his body to move to stop Ken Panca.
"Why bother approaching him? don't you master the skill of controlling your time? ah I know..the move requires a very large amount of internal energy and you have used it when dealing with Sabrang, right?" lakeswara mocked.
"So the woman also mastered the style of controlling time, you really surprised me," replied Ken Panca as he raised his hand in the air.
"Energi keris the ruler of darkness? Lusty!" Lakeswara immediately turned to Sekar Pitaloka and found dozens of keris energies already hovering above his head.
"It looks like I'm smarter than you" said Ken Panca before drawing the energy.
"No!!!!" Lakeswara moved as fast as possible towards Sekar Pitaloka but it was too late, the destructive keris energy was now only a few feet away from Sekar Pitaloka's body.
As everyone felt that hope was completely gone, Minak Jinggo appeared and fended off the destructive keris energy attack.
"Eternal Flame Steps level two: Eternal Fire Dance," A huge explosion occurred as Minak Jinggo's moves fended off the destructive dagger energy.
"I'm almost late" said Minak Jinggo, relieved before his body and Sekar Pitaloka were thrown.
"Mother queen..." The eagle jumped back while twisting his body, he grabbed onto Sekar Pitaloka's body and moved away from the battle location but the Eagle's footsteps finally came to a halt as dozens of dagger energies that had somehow come from nowhere pierced through his body.
"No. since when..." The eagle could still see fresh blood coming out of his body before slumping down with Sekar Pitaloka.
"Basic stupid! Can't you see such an easy attack" Minak Jinggo shouted as he moved closer.
"Deggg" Minak Jinggo's steps came to a standstill while feeling excruciating pain.
Amongst his thinning consciousness, Minak Jinggo felt something strange. His body seemed to be sucked in by something without being able to fight back in the slightest.
"What other move is this?"
Not only Minak Jinggo, all the warriors who were in the battle area felt the same including Ken Panca.
I succeeded.." said Sekar Pitaloka before his consciousness began to fade.
Sekar Pitaloka's eyes slowly darkened, a small smile forming at the corner of his lips as he felt time move backwards.
Sekar Pitaloka recalled his silent encounter with Wardhana and the White Fox after the attack of the southern Wind swordsman in the forbidden forest.
"You've met the swordsman of a forbidden civilization?" sekar Pitaloka was surprised.
"True queen mother, lord Setra saved the servant when attacked by the warriors whom she referred to as the Red Lembayung in the forbidden forest," Wardhana then explained everything including the cooperation offer from Setra and his group.
"You sure you can trust him?" ask Sekar Pitaloka worried.
"Hamba is not so sure about the queen mother but at this time we have no other choice" replied Wardhana slowly.
Sekar Pitaloka took a deep breath and closed his eyes before nodding slowly.
"There's no other choice, I didn't expect that desperate speech to come out of your mouth... Then how's next?" ask Sekar Pitaloka.
"Please forgive the servant of the queen's mother..." Wardhana then took the book Sabdo Lodge given by Jaya Setra and explained all the plans he made slowly.
"And the most terrible is the possibility that Ken Panca has now mastered the style of controlling time" said Wardhana.
"Straight control of time? does that skill really exist?" ask the White Foxes quickly.
"I don't know sir but in some parts of the Book of Sabdo Lodge it does mention the possibility of controlling time even if not directly. But regardless of whether or not there is a move that we still have to anticipate all the possibilities to win the battle this time," replied Wardhana.
"Is there any way to fight or cancel that move?" ask Sekar quickly.
"Unfortunately there is no Queen Mother, the only way to deal with the user of the time-controlled style is to use the same style at the right time."
Sekar's face immediately changed instantly, it was impossible to study the contents of the book of Sabdo Loji in a short time.
"Then how can we learn that skill in such a short time? understanding the contents of the book Sabdo Lodge is not easy," replied Sekar Pitaloka.
"Hamba has studied some of the contents of this book and it seems that the key to the forbidden technique is in the last few sheets that have been considered unimportant. If we follow the instructions implied from these last few words it seems like the possibility exists," Wardhana said softly as she pointed out the book.
"It takes pure energy yes.well, if it exists, I will try to master it as quickly as possible while training Sabrang in the Fire Dragon dimension," Sekar Pitaloka replied quickly.
"Sorry Queen Mother but for this time the servant has asked Wulan to learn it..."
"Wulans? he will not succeed.Her pure energy has been mixed from his mother's blood.only I am currently the most likely to master that style."
"The servant will find a way to..."
"Quite Wardhana, you should be the one who understands the most if at this time only I can learn that style," Sekar cut arrived.
"The queen's mother." answered Wardhana, bowing her head.
"Do you think I don't know what price to pay for that horrible move?"
Wardhana just kept quiet while bowing her head, she really did not want to say anything about the dangerous move to Sekar Pitaloka.
"Listen to me, Wardhana, I know you're trying to protect me, but right now the most important thing is to prevent the destruction of the martial world. Are you going to sacrifice everyone just for wanting to protect me? now, tell me everything."
"Straight time control allows users to rewind time by a few minutes but that style will absorb the life energy of its users..." Wardhana hung up her words.
"Death to that terrible price," Sekar Pitaloka took a deep breath before continuing his speech.
"Can it be used all the time?"
"For users who have a large enough pure energy, it may be done up to three times, but..."
"I know.. Now tell me how to learn that style," cut Sekar Pitaloka.
"You don't have to do this now, we can still find another way because every move must have a weakness" White Fox tried to prevent.
"Didn't you hear what Wardhana said? this can only be dealt with with the same style. I've decided.so please respect my decision."
Sekar Pitaloka continued to smile before his consciousness completely disappeared.
"Thank you Wardhana, I'll take this horrible book to death with me so that no more Ken Panca."
***
Sabrang's eyes suddenly opened along with pain that spread throughout almost his body. He scrunched his forehead confused when he saw everyone around him staring including Ken Panca who was standing not far from him.
"Did something happen to me? I feel like I've had this fight" he said inwardly trying to remember what had just happened to him.
"The process of controlling time cannot be stopped but can be prevented. That move could only be used a few times in a single fight, do not let Ken Panca concentrate the energy in his eyes. Totok all the chakra points in his body as quickly as possible before he managed to gather back his inner power. Make sure you make it or he can't be stopped again...I love you." Sekar Pitaloka's voice suddenly sounded in Sabrang's mind along with the time that turned back.
"Mother..." Sabrang immediately turned to the surroundings to look for the whereabouts of his mother.
"It looks like you came on time" Ken Panca said with a smile.
Stop all this cake, I'm sure the descendants of Dwipa will not be as easy as it was to lose, the opponent and do not let others use the body of the grandfather at will," Sabrang said slowly.
"The aura is really terrible, so you have managed to unite the pure energy and demonic power of fire huh.." Jaya said in her heart, her face seemed relieved because Sabrang came on time.
"Dwipa's Descendant? You make me laugh, son, you're just the rest of the Atlantic tribe that was banished for not having great talent like the others" Ken Panca laughed mockingly, his face still looked calm as if it was not disturbed at all by Sabrang's aura that kept pressing down on him.
Sabrang did not answer Ken Panca's taunts, his mother's voice still ringing clear in his mind.
Sabrang activated his lunar eyes to see the chakra dots scattered throughout Ken Panca's body.
"Totok all the chakra points in his body as fast as possible? I don't know where you're sending me messages from but I seem to understand the weak point of the style you mentioned."
Sabrang suddenly moved, fast movements that were even difficult to see people around him. Only a huge explosion that occurred a split second after Sabrang made a move that made everyone aware if the fight was back to begin.
"Interesting." said Ken Panca as his body felt a huge deep pressure.

"We're almost there... Winara, prepare the ground seal to make protection, the rest follow me. Whatever way we have to protect the Queen Mother," Tantri said as she increased her speed, she tried to catch up to Sekar Pitaloka who was in front of her.
"Well, but I need time to prepare the seal," replied Winara quickly.
"Our queen mother must..." Tantri stopped her speech when she saw Sekar Pitaloka's body suddenly fall to the ground.
"Mother queen!" tantri shouted in panic as she moved closer.
"Mother queen.." Tantri immediately checked the condition of Sekar Pitaloka and drained her inner strength to save the woman.
"Tantri what happened?" ask Gendis quickly.
"The queen's mother is dead" replied Tantri.

I hope you understand the explanation this time... Sekar Pitaloka uses the Time-control technique to reverse the time before Sabrang was killed and hints at how to defeat Ken Panca.
