The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Pakijandu and Nalini

The dance troupe from Karang Anom Duchy immediately continued the journey. In a large inn near Kota Kadipaten Seloageng Square, a member of Maheswara directed the group there. In the entrance gate of the large inn was written the name of a large inn in Old Javanese letters, Inhabitation Kembang Melati.

A slightly plump middle-aged woman with thick powder and red polished lips immediately greeted the group's arrival at the entrance of the inn.

"So this troupe of tledek dancers from Karang Anom, Karto?", asked the woman in a friendly tone while throwing her sweet smile.

"True Nyi Lesmanawati..

They are the ones who will entertain at Gusti Prince Panji's coronation ceremony Tejo Laksono as the new Duke of Seloageng", Maheswara's subordinate Karto replied immediately.

"What a beautiful beauty is her tledek..

Let's get them in Karto. Sumirah, Kanti, Banggol, Wugu.. Come here, let's help our guests carry their belongings", Nyi Lesmanawati shouted loudly to her aides. Not long before the four servants Nyi Lesmanawati immediately rushed to come. Deftly, they helped transport the goods of tledek dancers and gamelan anchors into the Kembang Melati Inn.

"Eh Karto, how long do they plan to stay here? If long, then I will give the pocket money to you", asked Nyi Lesmanawati while smiling meaningfully.

"Well, I don't know Nyi..

Gusti Maheswara just told me to drive them here. Later I ask Gusti Maheswara yes", replied Karto immediately. The short fat man immediately came out of the Kembang Melati Lodge as soon as the group of tayub dancers from Karang Anom Duchy led by Rara Pujiwati had entered entirely into the inn.

As the night wore on, Gorawangsa, the Swordsman of the Life-Acting Sword quietly came out from inside his room. While wearing a face covering of black cloth, the thick-bodied man immediately traced the ground violently and bounced high into the air. In the darkness of the night, Gorawangsa's body darted agilely among the top of the building residents of the City of Seloageng Duchy. On the edge of the southern boundary of the Seloageng Duchy, Gorawangsa stopped its movement on a large banyan tree branch that grew near the southern boundary of the Seloageng Duchy. Gorawangsa's eyes stared around where he was. His gaze was fixed on the two black shadow figures that appeared from the south. The two black shadow figures continued to approach where Gorawangsa was. Once there, the two immediately jumped on top of a large banyan tree where Gorawangsa is located.

"How is Kakang Gorawangsa? Have you reached Seloageng's palace?", the voice of a woman is heard from one of the black shadows which is slightly shorter than the other.

"Yet, Nalini..

The tayub dance troupe that I followed only got a resting place outside the palace walls. So I can not understand the layout of the palace also set the direction of the trip once I managed to slaughter Panji Tejo Laksono", replied Gorawangsa while staring into the middle of Seloageng city where the Duchy of Seloageng Palace stands. The two black shadows looked at each other at Gorawangsa's reply.

"Lantas, what's Kakang's next plan? Waiting to enter the palace, or something else Kakang might consider?", a heavy tone of male voice sounded from one of the tall black shadows.

"That's it, Paksijandu..

You and Nalini find out the layout of tonight's palace as well. Report all matters related to Seloageng palace to me. Do not make the slightest commotion inside the palace of the Duchy of Seloageng so that they are not wary of the possibility of murder on the Panji Tejo Laksono. Do you understand?", Gorawangsa immediately looked towards the two black shadows who were his younger brothers. They are Nalini and Paksijandu, two members of Mount Bromo Padepokan who have been helping every Gorawangsa lunge as the most feared assassin. The two always hide behind the big name Gorawangsa until no one knows that every movement of Gorawangsa always followed by his two brothers.

"We understand, Kakang", Paksijandu replied immediately.

"Be careful in action. Currently Prabu Jayengrana must have been in the palace to crown his son. Although it is old, but King Panjalu is not a random person", said Gorawangsa reminded his two younger brothers. The two nodded in understanding and immediately darted rapidly towards the middle of Seloageng Duchy City to scout the Seloageng Palace, leaving Gorawangsa still standing on top of a large banyan tree branch.

The two black shadows of Nalini and Paksijandu continued to move rapidly towards the palace of the Duchy of Seloageng. Science lightens the bodies of those who have achieved near-perfect, making their body movements as light as the movements of a swallow flying in the sky. Roof after roof of the residents of Seloageng Duchy became a stepping stone for them to approach the Seloageng palace.

The two soon landed on top of a large sapodilla tree that grew near the palace walls. The eyes of the two of them who were trained to see in the darkness of the night, could clearly see that every moment the retinue of palace guard soldiers patrolled outside the palace walls with complete weaponry. This proves that the securing of the coronation event of the new Duke of Seloageng is really tight.

"It looks like the security of this event is very tight, Kakang..

We must be careful if we want to infiltrate into the palace" Nalini said as she pointed at the troop of patrol soldiers who had just passed.

"Then, we should use Ajian Sirep Megananda, Lini..

That can reduce the level of tight security that is being run. What do you think?", Paksijandu continued to circulate his views on the penjor and pennants neatly installed in every corner of the palace.

"But Kakang Gorawangsa advised that we do not make the slightest commotion in this palace. Wouldn't that be a problem?", asked Nalini immediately.

Let's do it" Paksijandu said while cupping his palms in front of his chest. Seeing that, Nalini immediately went to do the same. The mouths of the two kamit cast the spell of Ajian Sirep Megananda.

The breeze blows slowly, spreading sirens that are able to make people fall asleep.

Two soldiers guarding the palace gate one by one began to collapse and fall asleep as soon as exposed Ajian Sirep Megananda released by Pakijandu and Nalini. One by one the palace guards of the Duchy of Seloageng also collapsed helplessly, stricken with extreme sleepiness.

In the private room of Adipati Seloageng, Panji Tejo Laksono who was still talking with Prince Arya Tanggai, Raden Damar Sasongko, Raden Windusegoro and Patih Dyah Suwanda felt the cold rustling slowly. Raden Damar Sasongko's most inferior canuragan science was seen yawning widely as a sign that he was sleepy.

Mmmmmm..

The sound of a long breath was heard from Panji Tejo Laksono. Prince Arya Tangib who realized that, immediately asked the young prince.

"What's Nakmas Prince? There seems to be a disturbance in your mind", Prince Arya Liang looked at the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono who looked displeased.

"Someone wants to spread the sirep, Uncle Prince. Uncle Patih, and you two Raden Damar Sasongko as well as Raden Windusegoro, get ready..

There was a powerful intruder who wanted to make a fuss in this place. Let's catch them" said Panji Tejo Laksono who immediately stood up from his seat. The four people were slightly surprised to hear that remark, they immediately rushed to their feet following the footsteps of Panji Tejo Laksono who was staring towards the south.

"The two men were near the south gate of the palace. Let's see what they want", after saying so, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately cast the spell Ajian Halimun. Slowly a thin white smoke covered his entire body and the blink of an eye then his body had disappeared from the sight of the four people's eyes.

Prince Arya Tanggi, Patih Dyah Suwanda, Raden Windusegoro and Raden Damar Sasongko looked at each other for a moment just after Panji Tejo Laksono disappeared. But they immediately remembered the words that had just been spoken by Panji Tejo Laksono and immediately rushed towards the south gate of the Seloageng Duchy palace.

After releasing Ajian Sirep Megananda, Paksijandu and Nalini immediately darted towards the walls of the palace of the Duchy of Seloageng. The two landed seamlessly on top of the palace walls and prepared to continue their actions. But the second step of the disciples of Mount Bromo Padepokan was immediately stopped when a male figure suddenly appeared just before them.

"Devil base !

Just amaze me. Whoareyou? Why did it suddenly appear in front of his feet?", hardened Pakijandu after overcoming his shock.

"I should ask, who are you? Why spread the sirep in this palace?", the figure of a man who was none other than Panji Tejo Laksono stared intently at Pakijandu and Nalini.

"It's none of your business and you have no right to interfere in our affairs. Move out of our way or you'll regret interfering with our business", Paksijandu replied with a wide grin full of threats at Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Basic stupid intruder!

Dare to make a scene in this place is the same as you are tired of living. You must get the right punishment" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he prepared to fight. Seeing the man who appeared suddenly in front of him had prepared his silat horses, Pakijandu immediately grinned widely while tracking where he stood hard. Pakijandu's body shot fast like an arrow out of his bow.

Seeing that, Tejo Laksono's banner was a little shocked as well but the young prince from Kadiri immediately chanted his Wind-Silent Ajian to compensate for the speed of the Paksijandu movement that slammed his right hand towards the chest of Panji Tejo Laksono.

Whhhuuuggghhh !!

Agilely, Panji Tejo Laksono avoids the hands of Pakijandu. Slightly shifting his body position, the young prince threw a punch of his right hand towards the stomach of Pakijandu who was surprised to see his attack easily avoided by Panji Tejo Laksono. The student of Mount Bromo immediately shifted his left hand to fend off the impact of the Panji Tejo Laksono.

Bhhuuuuggh...

Aaauuuggghhhhh !!

Although managed to fend off the hand hit by Panji Tejo Laksono, but Pakijandu pushed back and dragged nearly 5 steps back. His left hand was numb. Immediately he turned his head towards Nalini who was still paying attention to the situation.

"Nalini, help me face it"
