The Javanese Land Swordsman
Snake Ruler

Ordinary days in Yogyakarta Palace. Every morning begins with the practice routine of the courtiers.

It did not feel like three weeks Bima had settled down. He was getting used to life in the palace.

He spends his time the same way every day. In the morning Bima practice practice, while in the afternoon he will read the books primbon.

Bima has also understood the genealogy in this palace.

Prabu Hamengkubuwono X has five daughters. The first is Kanjeng Mayu, Kanjeng Puspita, Kanjeng Kamnari, Kanjeng Abra, plus the youngest named Kanjeng Astuti.

The five of them play an important role in the matter of this trance phenomenon. Because they are the ones who handle the soldiers who were wounded by the battle, assisted by some servants.

The Prabu princesses are the reincarnations of Jamus Kalimasada. So they have a very high Kanuragan science in the field of medicine.

At the time of hearing Krishna's explanation of the matter, Bima was confused. Isn't Jamus Kalimasada an heirloom?

Krishna answered :

“It is true that it is an heirloom, but the object was once a living kahyangan, he was King Kalimantara, a figure who dared to tear apart the abode of the gods.”

“Isn't that bad?” Bima is still confused.

“Yes, therefore the princesses of Prabu are not allowed to follow any battles that occur, so as not to happen something worse.”

Not only that, Bima also began to understand about people who serve the King.

The highest knight in the kingdom of Yogyakarta. They are called patih. Six people and led by one mahapatih. There were seven knights in total.

Bima is not familiar with the other six patih. But he was already quite close to the mahapatih, which was none other than Krishna.

Bima began to be quite familiar with the residents of the palace. Greetings when meeting are commonly said.

As usual, today Bima departed for her training ground. He happened to cross paths with one of the king's daughters, Puspita.

“Good morning kanjeng,” Bima slightly bent the body.

“Good morning.. Bima want to practice?”

“That's how kanjeng.”

“Basic youth of today..” Kanjeng Puspita smiled as she looked at Bima who was walking away excitedly.

...

“This time you will practice sparring,” Krishna stands between Bima and Laras.

“Well I thought this would be a good jumping stone,” Bima confidently prepared the horses.

“Unfortunately the stone will derail you deeper,” a barrel grin embedded in the face.

Krishna who saw the interaction of the two of them, smiled little knowing the familiarity of his students.

“The rules are quite easy, who managed to subdue the opponent, he is the winner.”.

Bima and Laras both hold a keris.

“...Then, be happy.. start!” Krishna immediately moved away from the two of them.

Ctaang!

The two kris clashed against each other, giving rise to two energies colliding with each other.

Bima moved her legs. Contrary to the clockwise direction, he spins low so as not to be hit with a barrel keris.

Just before the tortoise's foot touched him, Laras resisted Bima's attack with a hand that was not holding a keris.

Their position was held for a while. Until suddenly the strength in the keris Laras increased.

Bima who was at the bottom began to struggle to resist the attack. He decided to lower all his legs to the ground.

Laras grinned. When Bima stretched his strength, he immediately blocked his opponent's leg firmly.

Knowing the current conditions, Bima was cornered. Then he kicked while avoiding the keris to escape. He took some safe distance.

Like rubber, Keris Laras elongated and managed to reach Bima. They clashed with each other dexterity, making the two kris continue to collide in a row.

Then Bima let out three snakes that directly attacked.

Laras also changed focus on attacking the snake that moved quickly towards him.

Bima took advantage of the opportunity. He's pouring power on the keris. So that the keris enlarges and its shape becomes like a snake.

He immediately lunged towards the careless Laras. But it turns out it was a trap.

The barrel that finished finishing the snake tied Bima's keris with the flexibility of his weapon. Then he flipped over while slamming Bima hard.

Buaagh..

Seeing the opponent who had been cornered, Laras intended to stick a keris on the neck of Bima which signified victory.

Bima herself was actually shocked as well, but she still did not waste this opportunity to immediately dodge the retreat.

When he got up, he grabbed hold of his neck. Bima khawatit when his bones are broken.

'right time, right?' the female voice sounded very close, but it was not Laras.

Bima who looks confused, used by Laras to attack back.

However, this time Bima deflected it easily and made Laras thrown to the ground.

Bima was shocked by what happened. He whispered to himself 'are you the demon inside my body?'

The demit replied 'yes, I will help you.'

'Dine'

The barrel rose, then the keris he held increased a lot. Duplicate weapons were hovering around. Luminous while the tip facing Bima.

At that time, one of Bima's hands raised the scales of a snake.

Baras unleashed the power of his keris. While Bima Release one by one scales to hold it.

Booms..

Smoke covered Bima's view. On the other hand Laras prepared an arrow and started aiming while whispering :

“Ardadali.”

An arrow shot out from the handle of the Baras.

Bima was quite caught off guard, his left hand was pierced by the arrow of light. His knee fell to the ground due to weakness.

The barrel approached quickly and directed the dagger to Bima's neck. The match practice ended up won by Laras.

'So slow, you still need more practice to control me'

Prok. prok..

Krishna approached while clapping, “fierce match.”

Laras dropped his gun. Bima also stood up as her pain disappeared after the light arrow disappeared.

“You were dumbstruck Bima, what's up?” ask Kresna.

“Demit inside my body was talking, and it surprised me.”

“So yes, it's a good development, you should be familiar with it.”

Then Krishna looked at Laras who seemed silent from earlier. He said to the woman :

“What's up, Baras?”

“Nothing, I'm just a little tired,” Laras turned her head and looked at Krishna.

Although Krishna knew that Laras was hiding something, he chose not to discuss it.

“Alright, then you rest! I'll see prabu.”

“Understanding.”

Krishna walked away.

“Hah.. The battle was very stressful, you were great Baras!”

“You too.!”

“Then, see you again.!”

“Iya.!”

Laras was still silent to see Bima who was walking away.

He was actually holding a wound. Wound in the hand from the exercise just now. Exactly at the moment he pulled the arrow for the final attack.

....

Krishna who rushed towards the palace thought gladly.

...I see, he has started to open up

At the same time, Bima asked the demit about his identity.

'You must have actually known me, all the Javanese must have known, at least by name, that I...'

...A commander-in-chief of the south coast

“...Nyi Blorong!”
