The Javanese Land Swordsman
The dawn on the North Sea
Fog covers the waters of the Java North Sea. So calm, with starlight reflecting from the sky.
A jolt of water was passed by an object. Followed by the sound of a twisting mill, the large ship sailed from the west.
A man dressed all in black in his navy cap outfit stood upright in front. He smiled with the big boat on board.
“This time, it must have worked!”
“Yes, I will help you with all my soul,” the mysterious figure of a beautiful woman sitting not far from him.
“Of course, you will be the ultimate weapon when we conquer this sea.”
“Do you feel sorry, Karel?”
“That is how, I have failed to carry out the task given by my country, even then I died in vain because of a belief.”
“Isn't it beautiful if you die of your own volition?”
“Maybe, but I still feel there's less.. Therefore I..”.
Wind gusts move the mast of the ship. Then it showed nine ships forming formations around it. If totaled, the number of all the genie crew reached 2,000.
.....
“Hhhmm?” Rantamsari opened his eyes and felt something point towards his palace.
“What's up, Kanjeng Queen.?” ask one of the Five Abdi Kinasih who was sitting not far from Rantamsari.
“It looks like we have guest arrival.”
Rantamsari slowly stood up followed by the Abdi Kinasih. Her long blue dress still touched the floor even though she was upright.
“Give it to us, Kanjeng Queen!”
“Are you sure you can beat them?”
“Of course, Kanjeng Ratu.”
“Alright then.”
Rantamsari sat back on the throne. While the five Abdi Kinasih left the palace hall. Accompanied by two female servants, he smiled towards them.
Three male genies and two female jin were standing on high ground. They gathered an army of fine creatures there.
“Trust the Queen of the North Sea..!”
“Jaya..!”
“Trust the Queen of the North Sea..!”
“Jaya..!”
Their screams were reverberating to heat the night air. The water wanted to boil by that voice.
The Queen of the North Sea's forces also brought ships. Five ships that they seized from the humans. All the ships have been given supernatural powers. Each ship was filled by a Abdi Kinasih.
The first is a woman named Lanita. Resembling Nyi Blorong, he had the subordinate body of a dragon.
Then the man who burned all over his body, Banaspati. He had a terrible body compared to the other Abdi Kinasih.
Abdi Kinasih was later named Bahula. The genie figure in the form of a hunchback grandfather who carries a stick.
The fourth is Ayom, a woman who has coldness in her body. In fact, the surrounding objects and air that passed through him instantly froze.
And lastly, Buton. The figure of a male genie who is large in stature. Unlike the creepy Banaspati because of the fire that continues to burn, Buton has a very hard body.
Booms!! Booms!
The bombardment of cannon war signs begins. Although all of the refined beings could actually fly, only a few were indeed experts in aerial combat. Some of them remained on the ship.
Magic after magic blasts rained down on the air in the Java Sea. Their ships began to approach each other. Direct combat by the crew was inevitable.
Fire arrows, cannons, swords, spears, different types of weapons they used. The thumping, the screaming, the lashing, the sound continued to be heard in the region.
Ayom casts magic. He froze the ocean with a wide enough range. Some of the crew went down and fought in the frozen waters.
“Wraa.!”
Buton jumped and then hit the enemy ship. Throwing the opponent with his bare hands, he fought all out wildly.
Banaspati rose to the sky. The flames that were burning themselves started to grow. He raised his hand. Out of his body, and the rain of fire came down to enliven the war.
“Voor goud, glory, evangelie!” Karel Doorman jumped off the ship. Holding a dagger and a pistol, he slaughtered the khodam called by Bahula.
Dor.. Dor.. Spring...
No one can stop Karel. From afar, the gun can reach out precisely. While when approaching him, his dagger is ready to pounce.
Until then Karel saw Lanita crashing from above. He ignored the others and immediately jumped up to greet him.
Ctaang...!
Karel's sword collided with Lanita's claw-shaped hand. Fricter in the air until it forms a wind that collides with each other.
“It turns out you got up again yeah, lakshmana!”
“Siluman yes..? So you're their leader?”
“Entah.”
Duaarr...
They both fell into the ice. Then come back to each other. Their duel was quite balanced. But unfortunately this was not a one-on-one duel.
Boom up..!
Karel was thrown because of a fireball. Then it was seen Banaspati descending from the sky towards the place of Lanita.
“Why are you bothering me?” ask Lanita.
“Don't mess around..! you can make the Queen Kanjeng wait a long time.”
“Cih... Alright.”
After the fire that hit it disappeared. There was a mystical female figure that glowed beside Karel.
The woman responded with a smile. Then she turned her head towards Karel, “I think now is the time!”
“Ya, please help!”
“Let's start the exploration!”
The female figure shattered the ice sheet and sank into the sea.
“A-?” Ayom was surprised to see it.
They, Lanita and Banaspati were dumbstruck for a while. Until then suddenly the ice sheet that was stepped on shook violently.
“What is..?”
The range of the vibration was also very wide. Everyone who fights can feel it. The North Sea Guard is confused. While his opponent, shouted in excitement.
Then suddenly the sea level rises. Ayom reached her limit. All ice sheets crack until they break.
“Hhhwwwaaaa!!”
Not animals or other living things. What appeared from below was a ship that was the size of a mountain.
“Isn't this..?” Lanita looked at the wood of the ship she was on.
“As you think,” Karel stands on a peak on the ship.
“Some Weeks ago, it was rumored a mountain of legends has disappeared.
Seen from afar, the ship was just an ordinary large ship that was lifting fifteen other ships along with its crew. But on the other hand, the ship also possessed a powerful mystical power.
Karel raised his sword while shouting :
“Ik val aan, volg mij!”
“Jaa.!”
The aura of Karel's army changed. They look stronger, mentally unquestionable as well. The fleet shouted loudly with his spirit.
This time the battle was more lively than before. The North Sea Abdi Kinasih also began to fall.
Butonese movement is no longer as free as it was. Bahula cast a spell unceasingly. Ayom lost energy just now.
Banaspati intends to go up into the air. But at a certain height he was in pain because of a barrier. Banaspati exploded like fireworks.
“Hyyaaa..!” Lanita's attack is weakening. These ships continued to absorb the energy of their allies and provide it to Karel's forces. This condition was completely unpredictable before.
Several times Lanita was hit by slashes and shots from Karel. The wounds received could not regenerate because the energy stayed a little.
Lanita intends to change the full form of a dragon. However, all that can only change form is the arm and a part of the hip that becomes layered scales. The front and back are also easy targets.
When the troops of Karel could already see the peak of victory, a female voice echoed from the sky.
“Playing time is over kids.”
Rantamsari flapping white angel wings. Carrying the golden spear heirloom, he shone in front of the half moon. The eyes of the battle were instantly fixed on him.
The Abdi Kinasih growled at having made his leader intervene. However what power, they themselves could not change this state.
Rantamsari prepared the spear. His mouth was mashing something. Then he threw his spear while shouting.
“Apsara bhaala!”
The spear shot out colliding with the barrier. It gave off a sparkle of lightning that vibrated in the air. The weapon stuck in for a while. Then-then
Blaars...!
Rantamsari's spear pierced through the mountain ship. Making shocks and explosions when hitting it.
“It's a shame Admiral, but the fight is over,” said Lanita as she prepared horses to ambush.
“Yes, you're right.. Very unfortunate.”
When Lanita planned to finish him off, Rantamsari immediately said :
“War is over..! You go!”
“But.. Kanjeng..”.
“This is a command!” the terrifying gaze of the ruler of the North Sea.
“A.. Alright... All troops back!” shouted Lanita.
The Northern Sea Kingdom troops immediately retreated from the battle. Then Lanita said to draw near to Rantamsari :
“Why does Kanjeng Queen let him?”
“Karel Doorman has the self-esteem of a sailor, he's over.”
Lanita did not really understand the North Sea Queen's words.
On the other hand, the Karel army was in a mess to save themselves. However, only a small percentage survived the incident. Some of them swim because they do not have the energy to fly.
Karel Doorman sat leaning on the edge of the ship. He looked up at the sky with hopeful eyes.
“Why are you still here, Karel?” ask the spirit of the ship.
“Nothing, this is just the custom of a sailor.”
“Did you die this way?”
“That's..”.
“Truly stupid..”.
“Indeed,” Karel makes imitation cigarettes out of magic.
“...But, not so bad.”
Karel laughed for a moment and then inhaled his cigarette, “Hhhuuufff... As expected, the original cigarette is better.”
Duuaarr.... Daaarr....!
