The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Devil of Mount Kawi

Everyone just smiled wryly at Senopati Gardana's words. Maharesi Baratwaja who came with a little shame approached Panji Tejo Laksono while respecting the young prince.

"Pardon my delay, Nakmas Prince Duke..

I should have come here earlier to help" Maharesi Baratwaja said, smiling shyly.

"It's okay, Maharesi. Everything is well resolved. But I ask the Maharesi Baratwaja to put up a fence for this place so that in the future there will be no more events of this kind", Panji Tejo Laksono spread his gaze around the place.

"I'll do it soon, Nakmas Prince Duke. Tomorrow morning I will do all your orders", the leader of the Hermitage Ranja immediately respect the Panji Tejo Laksono. The night full of surprises in Wanua Ranja it ended well.

The night kept crawling up. The light of the moon approaching the full moon is increasingly slipping towards the west. The stars in the sky are increasing the coldness of the night in that place.

"Prince Kangmas, who's getting your time tonight? It should have been Wulandari's turn, but she was in Seloageng City so it definitely wasn't her.

If for Kirana, it's best to wait for you to marry Kangmas Prince first" said Gayatri who flanked the left arm of Panji Tejo Laksono after they were about to rest that night. The four of them walked together towards the bed that became the resting place of Panji Tejo Laksono in Wanua Ranja.

"It is better that Kangmbok Gayatri alone accompany the sleeping Prince Kangmas. I was a little tired so I wanted to go to bed early. Come Kirana, you room with me", Luh Jingga hurriedly took Dyah Kirana's hand and pulled her towards the bedroom provided by Mpu Anggada for them. The beautiful woman in white clothes was only resigned to be invited by Luh Jingga. The two soon disappeared behind their bedroom door.

Seeing that, Gayatri smiled triumphantly.

"What an understanding sister. Kangmas Prince, let's go to bed quickly. Tonight I will make you satisfied with my service", Gayatri smiled flirtatiously at Panji Tejo Laksono. The Ruler of the Duchy of Seloageng can only smile a little to see the actions of his first concubine. The two immediately went into the bedroom.

Although that night the cold air around the House of Lurah Wanua Ranja quite bone-chilling, but not the case with in the bed Panji Tejo Laksono. The two people who love each other struggle with love and lust that tempestuous. Scrumptious groans and long moans with hunting breath continue to be heard until the morning before arriving.

The loud sound of the rooster's crowing sounds earthy as a sign that the morning has arrived. Slowly, the eastern sky became bright after Surya slowly began to appear on the horizon. The sound of finches and knees began to be unpretentious as if welcoming the arrival of a beautiful morning.

That morning, Panji Tejo Laksono with Luh Jingga, Gayatri and Dyah Kirana left Wanua Ranja with the soldiers of the Duchy of Seloageng. The message conveyed by Tumenggung Kundana about the existence of a newsletter from Prabu Jayengrana made him impatient to want to go home to the palace immediately.

****

Nun is far to the east precisely in the territory of the Duchy of Pasuruhan. In an old house protected from everyone's sight. The old house stands behind lush trees that thrive near a vast meadow beside the boundary of the Duchy of Pasuruhan. It seems that the existence of the old house was deliberately made for a hiding place or also a secret meeting place.

A beautiful woman who had aged was seen running quickly towards the old house. The science of lightening his tall body made his body movements like flying over the streets. Two medium-statured people in black clothes but wearing long red robes were seen trailing behind the beautiful woman.

Arriving near the lush trees that block the eyes of people passing by the place, a beautiful woman in black who was none other than Nyi Dadap Segara immediately stopped her steps. Both men followed him. After making sure that no one was stalking their movements, the three people immediately slipped into the lush grove of trees.

Behind the lush greenery, several people dressed in all black wearing a half-face mask that had an image of a blood-red upside-down crescent moon on its forehead stared at them. Once they recognized who came, they immediately bowed respectfully to Nyi Dadap Segara and his two followers who also had names in the martial world.

The two people were a Twin Pair of Demons from Mount Welirang. Their name is feared by warriors both white and black because they often act cruelly to slaughter people just because they feel unhappy with their behavior. In fact, if they were running out of money after gambling, the two of them would often rob the money of the merchants who happened to cross paths with them. It is certain that the traders who fared ill will be the victims of the ferocity of the Twins Pair of Satan from Mount Welirang.

The mustachioed one is named Widerba, while his twin sister is named Widarma. Both of them used to be small children who became victims of war between Panjalu and Jenggala who were then taken care of by a black swordsman who was feared by the residents who settled around the slopes of Mount Welirang the North Side, Gandu or better known as the Sky Shredding Satan.

After the Heaven-shredding Demon died of old age, two of his twin students ventured out by again spreading fear through their teacher's Sky Shredding Crescent which was a sign that they were the students of the gun owner. The lunge is so famous throughout the territory of the Duchy of Pasuruan to the South. Therefore, the arrival of these two people made the members of the Blood Crescent Group who were in that place not dare to mess around, let alone the fifth leader, let alone the fifth leader, Nyi Dadap Segara also came to that place.

Nyi Dadap Segara along with a pair of Twin Demons from Mount Welirang immediately entered the old house. Once inside the house, the three met a long gray-robed man who almost touched the ground sitting on a chair made of old teak wood. His long hair almost turned white because of the amount of gray hair that grows, left to dangle without being tied or in a loop like a man's grooming at that time. His face was not very clear because his hair partially covered his bearded face and thick mustache but the eyes of the middle-aged man were so sharp as the eyes of an eagle eye targeting prey.

"Sincerely, Ki Samparjagad.!!", said Nyi Dadap Segara as he slightly bowed before the middle-aged man.

Mmmmmm...

"What are you doing here, Nyi Dadap Segara? Is there something that you are afraid of that brings the two mad dogs here?", said the middle-aged man in a long gray robe calmly.

"Braud !!

Shhrreeettthh..!!

Ki Samparjagad only gave a small grin before vanishing from sight. Sabetan Sickle Widarma immediately cut down the teak wooden chair Ki Samparjagad's seat.

Kkkkkkh!!

The old teak chair was immediately shattered after being hit by a Widarma sickle that was consumed by high levels of energy. Widarma dizzy looking for the whereabouts of the figure of Ki Samparjagad who disappeared. Suddenly only...

"Awas Widarma, above you...."

Widarma immediately turned his head towards the top of his head as soon as he heard the loud cry of his twin brother Widarba. But he was too late to dodge when Ki Samparjagad's leg hit his head until he fell to the floor of the old house. As fast as lightning, Ki Samparjagad immediately stepped on Widarma's head and his left hand that held the Sky Shredding Crescent.

Seeing his twin brother dropped by Ki Samparjagad, Widarba immediately pulled the scythe on his back. Just as he was about to make a move, Nyi Dadap Segara immediately detained him.

"Stop your morons, Widarba and Widarma.

Are you two tired of living by challenging the Devil of Mount Kawi ha?", snapped Nyi Dadap Segara as he glared at the Twins Pair of Demons from Mount Welirang. Hearing the title called, Widarba and Widarma seemed surprised instead of playing. The Devil of Mount Kawi is a frightening specter for warriors both black and white in the Jenggala Kingdom region. Let alone the Twins Pair of Demons, their teacher alone, the Heaven-Tearing Demon of course could not necessarily win if faced with the title owner.

Widarba immediately sheathed back his scythe to his back. Without hesitation, he immediately bowed his body to Ki Samparjagad who was still standing on his twin sister's body.

"Pardon us, Devils of Mount Kawi..

We who have knowledge of the pond do not really know if we are dealing with a great swordsman. Please forgive us", Widerba said immediately.

"Eh uh hehehe...

A brat yesterday afternoon like you guys wanted to show off in front of me? It's still 5 decades too soon for you. This time because I looked at Nyi Dadap Segara, I let you go but if in the future you two dare to disturb me, I will make you suffer before you die", after saying with a heavy voice, he said, Ki Samparjagad disappeared from everyone's eyes. Widarma who escaped the footsteps of Ki Samparjagad immediately stood up from the fall and rushed to approach his twin brother. His head shrieked after hearing the big name Devil Mount Kawi.

A moment later, Ki Samparjagad reappeared and stood before the three of them. Nyi Dadap Segara immediately respected it.

"Once again forgive their insolent attitude, Ki Samparjagad. I hired them both as my personal bodyguards because the two people you gave me as bodyguards had been killed by someone" Nyi Dadap Segara said immediately.

"Fuck!!

Who would dare to kill my disciple, Nyi Dadap Segara? Quickly tell me", Ki Samparjagad stared intently at Nyi Dadap Segara. Wugu and Kenca were indeed his favorite disciples.

"He is Panji Tejo Laksono, the new ruler of the Duchy of Seloageng who is also the eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana of Kadiri", replied Nyi Dadap Segara quickly.

"That rancid boy again..

Like him he will indeed be a hindrance to our main leadership plan to reunite Kahuripan. I've heard from the newsletters sent by the Panjalu traitors about Prabu Jayengrana's plan to establish who the next Yuwaraja Panjalu is and that boy is the most likely to come forward.

I will send a letter asking the Maharaja Sri Samarotsaha to first conquer Seloageng before storming into Daha", Ki Samparjagad said immediately.

"We understand, the third leader", replied Nyi Dadap Segara quickly.

While stroking his beard, Ki Samparjagad looked towards the southern sky as he said,

"Tomorrow morning we leave for Seloageng!!"
