The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Nyi Dadap Segara and Ki Pancatnyana

"benar Kakang's..

We must immediately report the death of the seventh leader to the fifth leader. This news must soon reach our main leader" said the slightly stocky member of the Blood Crescent Group as he continued to run fast at the speed of his friend.

"Yes sister, I really did not think that the new leader of the Duchy of Seloageng was a powerful mandraguna. He was easily killed by that person, this can be dangerous for our group if there is a follow-up action", said the thin body that spoke while continuing to run quickly across the forest-splitting path in the eastern region of Seloageng Duchy.

"Let's go quickly to Tumapel, Kakang!", after saying so, the stocky body immediately added to his inner strength until his body darted quickly like flying down the lonely road. The skinny body rushed after him.

Tumapel is a Pakuwon located on the western edge of Kanjuruhan Duchy which is the territory of Jenggala Kingdom. This area is located at the southeast foot of Mount Kawi. The land is fertile with extensive rice fields. Therefore Tumapel became a food barn for the Duchy of Kanjuruhan and became the most prosperous region among other regions. Lawor River becomes a natural boundary with Pakuwon Weling area which enters Panjalu region. On the south side, there is the Brantas River which is also a natural boundary with the Duchy of Singhapura which is also a region of the Kingdom of Panjalu in the southeast.

Because it is on the border, Tumapel is often used as a place of escape for criminals who are hunted by the Panjalu soldiers. Therefore, there are many groups of criminal groups that live in some hidden places in the region of Pakuwon. They hid their spoils and disguised themselves as ordinary citizens.

A middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful is directing some workers who are busy drying rice ties in her yard. Although it is old, but the beauty of the woman is still visible. Her makeup that looks different from most people, makes everyone immediately know that she is a rich person. Gold giwang, diamond-eyed conde skewers and gold bracelets and clothes that are light blue with dark green kemben and made of expensive materials as if to be a marker of his wealth.

His name is Nyi Dadap Segara, whether it's his real name or pseudonym, which is clear the surrounding population knows him by that designation. The beautiful woman is famous for being generous because she often distributed foodstuffs to the surrounding population to consider her as the goddess of community support Wanua Siganggeng. The woman came to Wanua Siganggeng about 20 years ago, and slowly but surely the surrounding community immediately knew her as a rich merchant of produce. He often traveled outside the area with merchandise purchased from the residents of Wanua Siganggeng and returned with a lot of money.

But strangely enough, even though she was a widow with a daughter, none of the citizens of Wanua Siganggeng dared to approach her. Ki Suto who is famous as a rich man who likes to play basket and play women alone does not dare to tease Nyi Dadap Segara.

"Officers... Just turn the rice ties at the end of it to dry quickly" said Nyi Dadap Segara to one of his workers who is a village girl.

"Well Nyi", replied Wati as she hurriedly carried out her master's orders.

"Remember, the weather is good so we can't waste it. This rice must be dry because tomorrow morning I will send it out of the area.

You understand it?", Nyi Dadap Segara circulated his views on 8 workers who were busy arranging the position of the rice bond to be exposed to sunlight.

"We understand Nyi", the eight people replied simultaneously. Nyi Dadap Segara smiled faintly at the answers of the eight workers.

A teenage girl aged one and a half decades ran up to Nyi Dadap Segara. Paras is a beautiful girl, similar to Nyi Dadap Segara. With her light green clothes and knee-length jarit made the appearance of the teenage girl really attract attention. She is Mustikasari, the only daughter of Nyi Dadap Segara.

"Biyung.. I just caught a grasshopper in the back of the house. Biyung want to see no?", said Mustikasari while holding a grasshopper in his hand.

"Ckckckl...

Sari sari, you're already big. Soon you're getting married, why are you still a child? Until when are you going to play around?", Nyi Dadap Segara shook his head to see the mere act of the princess of the puppet.

"Ah Biyung's...

I don't want to get married now. I don't want to take care of my husband or take care of my baby. Now I just want to accompany the young", replied Mustikasari with a small grimace. Hearing that answer, Nyi Dadap Segara smiled faintly.

At the same time, the tail of Nyi Dadap Segara's eyes saw two black shadows flashing behind the lush trees that grew in the garden beside his house. The middle-aged beautiful woman immediately turned her head towards Mustikasari.

"Mother Cah Ayu, now enter the house.. The heat of the sun will sting your skin. If you're charred like charcoal, no more men will take your wife. Quickly get into the house there..

Biyung has business to Ki Joyo's house", Nyi Dadap Segara ordered on Mustikasari. The beautiful teenage girl obediently stepped towards the house, while Nyi Dadap Segara immediately turned to look at the two thick-bodied tile people who always guarded his residence.

"Young, Taliwangke..

Follow me now!!", after saying so, Nyi Dadap Segara immediately stepped out of his residence and his two roof tiles immediately followed the steps of the master. After no one noticed them, the three immediately darted quickly after the two black shadows that moved to the end of Wanua Siganggeng.

On the west bank of Wanua Siganggeng, precisely on the edge of a small forest divided by a small river that empties into the Brantas River, Nyi Dadap Segara and his two temples stopped their movement. Two black shadow people who are none other than the Resi Mpu Wisesa's men are waiting for their arrival. The two immediately saluted Nyi Dadap Segara.

"What news do you bring? Why are you so brave to appear in my residence?", asked Nyi Dadap Segara in a cold tone. He did not like it at all if any member of the Blood Crescent Group came to his place no matter what the reason.

"Forgive us, Fifth Leader..

There is bad news that the Fifth Leader needs to know immediately. The seventh leader, Resi Mpu Wisesa was killed by the new ruler of the Duchy of Seloageng, Panji Tejo Laksono, the eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana from Kadiri", said the thin body immediately.

Hearing the report, Nyi Dadap Segara was surprised not to play. After all, even though Resi Mpu Wisesa was only seventh rank, but the martial ability that the old man possessed was on par with his. Among the seven of them, only the second and third leaders were the most highly educated warriors while the main leader of the Golden Masked Angel had never displayed his strength at all, but the Golden Masked Angel has knowledge that can make the second and third leaders tremble in fear.

"The two bangkas...

Finally someone could kill him too... I don't have to bother anymore to fight against him..

"We understand the Fifth Leader", said the two who immediately respect Nyi Dadap Segara. The two men then sped quickly westward to perform the task given by Nyi Dadap Segara. After the two left, Nyi Dadap Segara immediately turned his head towards Taliwangke who was standing behind him.

"Taliwangke, I'm sending you to Kalong Valley to report this news to the second leader. Try to get there as soon as possible. Go!".

The one in question immediately saluted Nyi Dadap Segara and then quickly ran fast towards the North. In the blink of an eye, Taliwangke had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Wugu, we're back home. You take care of all our gear. Tomorrow morning we leave for Seloageng", continued Nyi Dadap Segara while turning to Wugu the thick body.

"But the leader, don't we have to deliver the goods tomorrow to Juragan Karto in Kanjuruhan? We promised him the other day ", Wugu respectfully denied.

"Just obey my words, don't argue!Juragan Karto business we think about later. The new Duke of Seloageng makes me curious. We must not remain silent as he dares to harass the Blood Crescent Group.

Later that night I will meet my brother and sister to ask for help" said Nyi Dadap Segara soon.

"Both Fifth Leader", replied Wugu while respecting Nyi Dadap Segara. The two immediately rushed back to Wanua Siganggeng to get ready.

At night before arriving, Nyi Dadap Segara was seen dizzy here and there behind his house. After confirming that no one had seen her, the middle-aged beautiful woman cast a spell and she disappeared from sight.

On the slopes of Mount Kawi, precisely in a wooden hut located on the edge of a small waterfall that flows from the top of the cliff, a stocky man wearing an ash2 short loincloth and a black headband was sitting in front of a burning fireplace. It was seen he was flipping cassava in the embers of the fireplace. Amazingly, he used his hands directly without the slightest pain from touching the coals.

The eyes of the thick-bearded middle-aged man glanced towards his left side. As fast as lightning he threw a piece of burnt cassava into the darkness of the night.

Whuuthhh !!

Puraakkkkkkkk !!

The sound of loud claps and burning cassava instantly shattered and Nyi Dadap Segara came out from the darkness of the night with a smile.

"You are still great as before, Kakang Pancatnyana" said Nyi Dadap Segara as he walked closer to the figure of the thick-bodied man.

"You are also the same, Mustakaweni eh I forgot if your name now is Nyi Dadap Segara hehehehe" replied the thick-bodied man called by the name of this Pancatnyana.

"I've buried deep in Mustakaweni's name, Kakang Pancatnyana. For me, it's just a part of the past that no longer needs to be remembered. Your news is fine, Kakang Pancatnyana?", Nyi Dadap Segara immediately sat on a large piece of wood near the fireplace to warm the body. The air around the slopes of Mount Kawi is cold.

"As you can see, Nyi Dadap Segara. I'm doing fine. But your arrival wasn't just to ask about my news, was it? If you get to use Ajian Step Yaksa teachings of our teacher, of course there is something important" said Ki Pancatnyana who sat opposite Nyi Dadap Segara. Hearing those words, Nyi Dadap Segara smiled faintly.

"You understand me the most, Kakang.

I came here to ask you for help. The new Duke of Seloageng, Panji Tejo Laksono the eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana of Panjalu just killed my friend, Resi Mpu Wisesa. If Resi Mpu Wisesa alone is unable to fight him, it means that I am also unable to defeat him. Therefore I hope Kakang Pancatnyana is willing to avenge him", said Nyi Dadap Segara soon.

Hmmmmmm

There was a long snort of breath from Ki Pancatnyana's mouth before speaking. The thick-bodied middle-aged man seemed to remember something.

"Panji Tejo Laksono Prabu Jayengrana's eldest son huh?

His father killed my teacher, the Devil of Jerangkong Hill. If the Demonic Bone Sword can drink the boy's blood, surely my teacher's grudge will be slightly treated.

Well I'm willing to help you, Nyi Dadap Segara. But what is the advantage for me other than being able to take revenge?", said Ki Pancatnyana while smiling meaningfully.

"What do you want Kakang? The gold? Diamond gem? Silver and gold? Or the food you need?

I can give it to you" said Nyi Dadap Segara while staring at his brother-in-law.

"That's all useless to me, Nyi Dadap Segara. I already have everything I need here", Ki Pancatnyana smiled meaningfully again while staring at Nyi Dadap Segara's body.

"Well what do you want Kakang? Just tell me, don't confuse me" Nyi Dadap Segara said immediately. He really needs help from Ki Pancatnyana at the moment.

While smiling mischievously, Ki Pancatnyana slapped his tongue against his black lips while grinning broadly at the body of Nyi Dadap Segara which was plump and contained. From his mouth said the word,

"Your body Nyi Dadap Segara ".
