The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Armbandan Hermit

Shuuiiiiittt.....!!!

A high screeching whistle sounded from the mouth of Resi Mpu Wisesa. After whistling loudly, Resi Mpu Wisesa immediately walked towards the gate of the Panumbangan Hermitage where dozens of disciples and Dwija Panumbangan Hermitage came rushing towards the gate of the hermitage. Even the leader of Panumbangan Hermit, Maharesi Tirtanata also welcomed the arrival of Seloageng soldiers. Meanwhile some shadows flashed quickly and landed on some behind the trees growing around the Archery Hermitage. Apparently the whistling was a gesture to the hidden guards of the Blood Crescent Group who were assigned to guard the leader of the seven groups. Slowly all these black shadows pulled out their respective weapons and prepared to fight.

As the sound of the footsteps of Seloageng warrior horses approached, the Panji Tejo Laksono, Panji Manggala Seta, Akuwu Bonokeling, Gayatri, Luh Jingga, Senopati Gardana and Bekel Wirabraja were among them. Behind them, about 800 Seloageng and Pakuwon Weling soldiers escorted with full weapons.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Archery Hermitage, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately pulled the reins of his horse until the large black horse neighed loudly and stopped right in front of the hermitage gate. The banner of Tejo Laksono immediately jumped down from his horse followed by all his followers.

Maharesi Tirtanata immediately bowed respectfully to Akuwu Bonokeling who was standing next to the Panji Tejo Laksono. Understandably, Panji Tejo Laksono is still the new ruler of the Duchy of Seloageng so not so many people know him. The old man dressed in all white with a long beard and gray hair in this slanted loop seemed so enthusiastic about the arrival of the Akuwu.

"Greetings to me Gusti Akuwu. Welcome to Panumbangan Hermit", welcome Maharesi Tirtanata immediately.

"Thank you for your welcome, Maharesi.. I came here with Gusti Pangeran Adipati Panji Tejo Laksono, the new leader of the Duchy of Seloageng", politely, Akuwu Bonokeling pointed towards Panji Tejo Laksono with his thumb.

"Ah forgive servant Gusti Prince Duke..

This old man was indeed lacking in insight and knowledge. Please Gusti Pangeran Adipati willing to show greatness by forgiving servants", said Maharesi Tirtanata while bowing deeply before Panji Tejo Laksono.

"I understand him, Maharesi..

My goal this time to Panumbangan Hermitage is to meet one of the dijas in Panumbangan Hermit. Please call the one named Resi Mpu Wisesa here, Maharesi Tirtanata", said Panji Tejo Laksono calmly and authoritatively.

Hearing that, Maharesi Tirtanata immediately nodded while turning her body. His full eyes immediately looked at his surroundings and his gaze was fixed on the figure of Resi Mpu Wisesa who was standing somewhat behind.

"Wisesa, come here.", the call of Maharesi Tirtanata makes the Resi Mpu Wisesa immediately walk up to them. As soon as Resi Mpu Wisesa arrived, Maharesi Tirtanata immediately turned to Panji Tejo Laksono while saying to Panji Tejo Laksono, "This is the person that Gusti Prince Adipati is looking for".

Panji Tejo Laksono stared at the figure of the old man who was now standing before him from head to toe. His eyes looked as if he wanted to find out who this person really was.

"What is this Kisanak named Resi Mpu Wisesa?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"It's true Gusti Prince Duke. Slave is Resi Mpu Wisesa. What is it that makes Gusti Prince Adipati look for servants?", Resi Mpu Wisesa said like nothing happened.

"It's very clever of you to perform, Resi Mpu Wisesa..

Your disciple Sembada the Demit Abang has said everything before death to pick him up", said Panji Manggala Seta while throwing a white cloth with a crescent moon upside down in blood red in front of Resi Mpu Wisesa. The old eyes of Resi Mpu Wisesa glared wide shortly after seeing the triangular flag. But he soon took control of himself.

"It must be a misunderstanding. Servant is not at all familiar with the person that Kisanak means", Resi Mpu Wisesa tries to kelit of the accusations.

"I know Sembada, Resi Mpu Wisesa. So enough of your theatrics.

Kangmas Panji Tejo Laksono, immediately order your people to arrest the leader of this Blood Crescent Group" Panji Manggala Seta said as he turned to Panji Tejo Laksono. The eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana immediately signaled to the Seloageng soldiers to move forward.

The Panumbangan Hermit residents who were shocked to see this incident, immediately retreated. Provides space to besiege Resi Mpu Wisesa. Seeing that, Resi Mpu Wisesa gave a small chuckle while staring intently at Panji Tejo Laksono and his comrades.

"Hehehehe.. It's impossible to pretend anymore.

Right, I'm Mpu Wisesa of the Blood Crescent Group. Today will begin the sacred task of reuniting Kahuripan. And that I started from killing Panjalu people like you!", after saying so, Resi Mpu Wisesa immediately whistled loudly. Simultaneously, around a hundred people dressed in all-black clothes wearing half-face masks with blood-red reverse crescent moon ornaments on the forehead shot rapidly towards the Seloageng warriors.

The fight in front of the Archery Hermitage was about to happen.

The hundreds of members of the average Blood Crescent Group containing warriors with high martial abilities immediately charged forward towards the Seloageng warriors. They were all indeed warriors recruited by the Blood Crescent Group in preparation to destroy Panjalu and Jenggala.

Whuuth..

The head of a Seloageng warrior instantly rolled to the ground as the sword of one of the members of the Blood Crescent Group slashed at the trunk of his neck. Fresh blood instantly gushed out from the soldier's body which then collapsed to the ground. Although the number of members of the Blood Crescent Group was less, but because of their martial ability that was far above the Seloageng soldiers, in just a short time they had managed to slaughter dozens of Seloageng soldiers.

This made Gayatri angry. After plucking out a large dagger hidden at his waist, his left hand quickly grabbed a pair of small silvery-white daggers and threw them towards one of the members of the Blood Crescent Group who had just killed the Seloageng warrior.

Shrrriinnggg shhrriegg !!

Chhreeppppppph ..

Aaauuuggghhhhh !!

Two members of the Blood Crescent Group immediately fell to the ground after the blade of Gayatri's small dagger pierced through the chest to the back. While Gayatri moved the fingers of her left hand to control her two flying knives, the daughter of Tumenggung Sindupraja also lunged forward towards the other members who were now beginning to surround her.

One of the members of the Blood Crescent Group lowered his sword towards Gayatri. The first concubine of Panji Tejo Laksono immediately repelled the saber with a large dagger in her right hand.

Thhraaaanggggg !!

The right hand fended off, the left hand moved his small silvery dagger that slid rapidly towards the nape of his opponent's neck.

Chhreeppppph ..

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh !

Loud screams rang out from the mouth of the Blood Crescent Group member who had taken his life after Gayatri's small dagger tore through his neck. His blood instantly gushed out soaking his body. Not long after, he died with blood.

Another Gayatri, another with Luh Jingga. Princess Resi Damarmoyo of the Hill of Deployment turned her sword and quickly slashed towards the opponent. The members of the Blood Crescent Group quickly fended off the Luh Jingga saber, while the other two members directly aimed their weapons at the feet of this beautiful woman in reddish yellow. Luh Jingga immediately stomped her feet to the ground and the slender body of the female immediately bounced high into the air. While on fire, Luh Jingga smashed his red-colored left palm like a fire that raged towards the three members of the Blood Crescent Group. A streak of red light with a scorching heat instantly thrust rapidly towards them.

Shiiuuuttt...

Bllaammmmmmmmm !!

A huge explosion was heard. The three members of the Blood Crescent Group chanted after receiving the hit of Ajian the Father of God Agni released by Luh Jingga. They were instantly killed with half-scorched bodies like burning flames. The efficacy of Ajian Tapak Dewa Agni which is one part of the Book of 5 Tapak Dewa really shows its best abilities.

Meanwhile, Panji Manggala Seta continued to throw his poison needle needle while occasionally smashing the right hand palms covered by a bluish white beam like lightning. Senopati Gardana himself also did not want to lose to show his ability to move quickly while swinging his sword. Bekel Wirabraja was shoulder to shoulder with Akuwu Bonokeling in defending and attacking the members of the Blood Crescent Group who surrounded them. The fight in broad daylight continued to be fierce.

On the other hand, when his followers are busy facing their respective opponents, Panji Tejo Laksono continues to be aware of the movements of Resi Mpu Wisesa. The seventh leader of the Blood Crescent Group was furious to see his men began to fall in the hands of Luh Jingga, Gayatri, Panji Manggala Seta and Senopati Muda, Akuwu Bonokeling and Bekel Wirabraja.

Seeing one of his men was about to be in the swipe of Luh Jingga sword, Resi Mpu Wisesa immediately shot towards them while swinging her right hand claws. Five streaks of greenish-black light shot towards Luh Orange.

Shhrreeettthhh shreeeeetttthhh !!

Seeing his wife in danger, Panji Tejo Laksono darted as if flying against the greenish black light from the Resi Mpu Wisesa. There is no room to dodge for Panji Tejo Laksono until five rows of greenish black rays hit the body of the ruler of this Seloageng Duchy.

Blllaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrp blllaaaaaarrr..

Bllaammmmmmmmm !!!

Loud explosions streaked out as Ajian's greenish-black rays of Devil's Claws smashed onto the body of Panji Tejo Laksono. Dust and thick smoke covered the entire body of the prince. Resi Mpu Wisesa grinned broadly staring towards Panji Tejo Laksono whose body was wrapped by thick smoke. Waving his right hand, he said,

"Crucus you, son of a bitch !!"
