The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Demon of Wilis Mountain

"Don't rush the young swordsman..

Just relax a little. Your friend is safe with us. You don't have to worry. I just want to know what your name is and where you come from before the terms I speak", said Dewi Ambarwati with a sweet smile.

Mmmmmm..

There was a long sigh before Panji Tejo Laksono started talking. He does not like the attitude of Goddess Ambarwati who deliberately stalling for time.

"My name is Taji Lelono, from Kotaraja Kadiri.

Now say the terms Gusti Dewi, I do not have much time" Panji Tejo Laksono said quickly.

"Patience for a while young swordsman, huh young people today are very difficult to be patient..

Aren't you hiding something about yourself, young swordsman? Your female comrade disguised as a male has admitted that she is the daughter of the Duchy of Seloageng. Of course you are not inferior in appeal to him is not it?", back Goddess Ambarwati showed off her sweet smile.

'Huh you stupid Gayatri! Could he normally open his identity ', Panji Tejo Laksono grumbled inwardly.

"I am only a son of a rich merchant in Kotaraja Kadiri, Gusti Dewi. Didn't my friend explain to you that I'm just a rich kid?

Why does Gusti Dewi still force me to admit something that does not belong to me?", Panji Tejo Laksono stared at Dewi Ambarwati.

"Your face is very similar to the face of someone who was once close to my heart, the young swordsman.

That's why I'm sure you must have a blood relation with her", Goddess Ambarwati stood up from her seat and walked towards the side of Keputren. The pretty woman's eyes were pushy looking at the sky which started to lower the drizzle.

"Who is Gusti Goddess referring to? I don't understand at all ", Panji Tejo Laksono was curious.

"He is the Prince Panji Watugunung who is now the King in the Kingdom of Panjalu", replied Dewi Ambarwati as she gazed at the drizzling drizzle that descended to wet the earth.

Panji Tejo Laksono was a little surprised but quickly he hid his surprise. Until when Dewi Ambarwati glanced at him, her shocked face was no longer there.

"Gusti Goddess is joking with me. How could my mediocre look be like this in the likeness of Gusti Prabu Jayengrana, a great king who ruled the country of Panjalu?

I do not have any relationship with His Majesty Raja Panjalu, Gusti Dewi", said Panji Tejo Laksono while respecting Dewi Ambarwati.

Mmmmmm...

"Alright, I trust you young swordsman.

Now you listen to my terms. I can set you free if you can catch the chief robber of Demon Mountain Wilis to declare your friend not their spy. If you can't catch her, bring her head here so I don't need to suspect your friend" said Dewi Ambarwati as she sat back on her big wooden chair.

"You don't worry...

Pakuwon Sukowati's men will help you capture them. Besides you being able to free your comrades, you will also get a huge reward. A tempting offer, right?", added Dewi Ambarwati immediately.

"Well, I'm willing to do this job, Gusti Dewi..

But remember your promise to free my friend from all the accusations addressed to him" Panji Tejo Laksono said quickly.

"I promise you young swordsman.

Puspa Putih, Puspa Abang...

You guys escort this young swordsman to raid the Devil's base of Wilis Mountain. Quickly carry it out!", Goddess Ambarwati turned towards her two loyal bodyguards immediately.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Dewi"

Puspa Abang and Puspa Putih immediately saluted the Goddess Ambarwati. The two of them immediately withdrew from Keputren followed by Panji Tejo Laksono.

Dewi Ambarwati stared at the back of Panji Tejo Laksono until it disappeared behind the gate in Pakuwon Sukowati palace.

In the plaza of Pakuwon Sukowati City, about 150 soldiers led by two Bekel appear to be ready to wait for orders. Once the two Bekel Warrior named Purusanta and Jemparing saw the arrival of Puspa Abang and Puspa Putih and Panji Tejo Laksono, they both immediately approached them.

"Purusanta, please,

They are all ready?", asked Puspa Abang quickly.

"We are ready Nyi", said Purusanta while respecting Puspa Abang.

"Good then.. Lead the way, I want us to quickly get there before noon", ordered Puspa Putih immediately.

"Okay Nyi", Purusanta answered while respecting and then turned towards the members of the soldiers.

Pakuwon Sukowati's troops immediately moved quickly towards the headquarters of the group of robbers of Devil's Mountain Wilis which they had known two days ago. Their horses darted fast through the muddy rocky road due to the puddle of water from a fairly heavy drizzle this morning.

The residents, who happened to cross paths with them, chose to move to the side of the road. Afraid of the horses of Pakuwon Sukowati soldiers who run fast.

After leaving the last Wanua residential area, Pakuwon Sukowati soldiers led by Puspa Abang and Puspa Putih entered the dense forest area at the foot of Mount Wilis. The longer the road they pass the narrower it becomes a path that divides the forest. They keep moving.

A small settlement is sheltered by lush bamboo trees on the slopes of Mount Wilis. A bamboo fence as tall as 2 spears appeared to surround the place. Two men dressed in all red like a swordsman with a machete slung around the waist, appear to guard the gate of a small settlement that became the headquarters of a group of robbers called Satan Mount Wilis.

This group of security rioters is led by a couple who are dubbed as a Pair of Demons of Mount Wilis. Their real names are Ki Baratwaja and Nyi Urwasi. These two people are former refugees from the Duchy of Bhumi Sambara which is now known as the Duchy of Mataram.

In the Duchy of Mataram, they became fugitives for the government of the Duchy of Mataram after killing prince Ganarbhaya who was the next future Duke of Mataram. Although the place where they demanded the science of kanuragan was destroyed by the troops of the Duchy of Mataram, these two men managed to escape.

After arriving under Mount Wilis, they then collect the kecus (copet ), market rams, maling and robbing into a group of robbers who are quite feared in the Duchy of Kurawan. No less than 80 people are under their control.

Ki Baratwaja and Nyi Urwasi were sitting relaxing in the largest house in the middle of the small settlement. The big robbery they did the other day in Pakuwon Sukowati city was enough to meet the needs of the entire small village for 1 full moon. But that calm did not last long.

A burly man dressed in red clothes hurriedly ran into the foyer of the residence of the Pair of Demonic Mount Wilis.

"Strong, "Strunk,

Why did you come without any orders?", asked Ki Baratwaja as he stared intently at the men.

"Ampun Lurah e..

Pakuwon Sukowati soldiers stormed here. They brought no less than 100 soldiers Lurah e. By now they have reached the gate of our headquarters", reported the man called by the name of Sangkur immediately.

"Huhhhh...

Kroco kroco Pakuwon Sukowati no one has high canuragan science. No need to be afraid to face them", said Nyi Urwasi.

"You're right Nyi..

Only Puspa Abang and Puspa Putih alone are quite capable. The rest is just kroco kroco. Let's face them" Ki Baratwaja said as he stood up from his seat.

Rumbling over the danger was heard so loud that the residents of the Demonic Group headquarters of Mount Wilis immediately gathered while preparing for alert. They immediately put on a wooden mask with a half-face demon face painted red and pulled out their respective weapons.

Ki Baratwaja and Nyi Urwasi immediately shot towards the gate of their headquarters. Their body movements were both so light because the science lightened their bodies both high. Like swiftlets, they stood on top of the headquarters gate while staring at the hundreds of Pakuwon Sukowati soldiers who stood with unsheathed weapons.

"Puspa Abang, White Puspa..

You guys have enough guts too apparently. How dare you come to this place. Are you tired of living?", said Ki Baratwaja while staring at the two leaders of Pakuwon Sukowati's soldiers.

"So you're apparently Satan of Mount Wilis..

Surrender to keep your body intact when burned later", reply Puspa Putih while pointing his sword towards Ki Baratwaja.

Hahahahahaha...!!

"Rush up??

"Jumava...

Apparently you still want to be stubborn too. Alright, at your request Demon of Wilis Mountain.

Warrior archer, soldier,

Shoot......!!!", orders Puspa Abang while gesturing the archer soldiers to attack. Twenty archer soldiers directly advanced forward and aimed their arrows at the base of the Demon Mountain Wilis marauding group.

Shrrriinnggg shhrriegg!!

Twenty arrows shot rapidly towards Ki Baratwaja and Nyi Urwasi. Quickly, Ki Baratwaja immediately inhaled as much air as possible and then slammed both palms towards the arrow that was heading towards him.

Whhhuuugggh...

Bllaaaaaarrr!!!

The ten arrows instantly shattered apart in midair while the rest slid into their headquarters.

Chhreeppppppph!!

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!

Screams of agony rang out from within the headquarters of the group of robbers immediately. Ki Baratwaja snorted loudly at it all then loudly spoke.

"Open the gate, finish off the Sukowati soldiers!!!"

Krrriiiieeeeeeeeetttthhh!!!

The gate of the headquarters of the Wilis Mountain Demon Group opened, and dozens of people in red clothes lunged out from within the wide-open gate of the headquarters.

A fierce fight between them soon ensued.

As the members of Demon Mountain Wilis advanced, Ki Baratwaja and Nyi Urwasi immediately shot ahead of their steps. The banner of Tejo Laksono instantly jumped high into the air after using his horse saddle as a pedestal.

His goal is clear, chief Ki Baratwaja.

Puspa Abang also jumped forward to attack towards Nyi Urwasi while Puspa Putih directly darted towards one of the subordinates of Pair of Demon Mountain Wilis.

Ki Baratwaja darted quickly towards Panji Tejo Laksono with the right hand palm pointing to the chest. Panji Tejo Laksono also welcomed Ki Baratwaja's attack with his right hand.

Bllaammmmmmm!!

A huge explosion was heard. Ki Baratwaja slammed towards the back, but he immediately salted once then landed safely. A little tightness felt in his chest due to the impact earlier.

The banner of Tejo Laksono was directly salted twice and landed two spears backwards.

Ki Baratwaja stared intently at Panji Tejo Laksono. He did not expect that the handsome young man was able to withstand his attacks.

"Rancid boy!

I didn't expect it before if Pakuwon Sukowati was able to pick up a great boy like you. Who are you?", asked Ki Baratwaja.

"I am Taji Lelono from Kotaraja Kadiri.

Give up the old man. Otherwise I won't spare you any more" Panji Tejo Laksono replied calmly.

"Huhhhhh you think after being able to withstand my attack once, you've won.

I still haven't pulled out half my kanuragan ability boy. Prepare to die!"

After saying so, Ki Baratwaja immediately darted towards Panji Tejo Laksono while launching a barrage of palm attacks.

Panji Tejo Laksono directly serves the silat game Ki Baratwaja with his flagship White Padas silat.

Plakkkk plllaaakkkk!!

Two hands clashed. Ki Baratwaja continues to hunt Panji Tejo Laksono with deadly rapid movements but Warok Suropati's students remain agile and nimble to serve his silat game.

Ten steps have passed.

Ki Baratwaja swung his right hand towards the shoulder of Panji Tejo Laksono quickly. The young prince lowered his body and threw a quick punch incessantly towards the chest and stomach of the Demon of Wilis Mountain immediately.

Dhheeeppphh!!

The two quick attacks made Ki Baratwaja stagger back a few steps. The banner of Tejo Laksono did not waste this opportunity. He quickly turned his body and returned to throw a hard kick towards the stomach of Ki Baratwaja.

Dhiieeeessshh says..

Oooouuuggghhhhh!!

The bearded and red-clothed old man bounced back and fell down. But he immediately got back up while squeezing his chest that felt crumpled like he had hit a large wooden block. Fresh blood came out from the corner of his lips.

Seeing that, Ki Baratwaja snorted loudly while wiping the remaining fresh blood out.

"You mustn't be happy, you rancid boy!

I make you regret for daring to challenge me", cried Ki Baratwaja while stretching out his hands. Quickly both hands turned in front of the chest. A ray of yellowish-red light shot out along with a strong wind roaring around his body. He took out his flagship Ajian Geni Tread of Hell.

"Die you rancid boy!"

A yellowish red beam shot quickly towards Panji Tejo Laksono from the right hand that was struck by Ki Baratwaja.

Whhhuuugggh...

The banner of Tejo Laksono who used Ajian Sepi Breeze directly clumped several times to the side avoiding the hit of Ajian Talks of Hell Geni.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

A pedestal stretcher tree immediately exploded and burned after being hit by Ajian Hell's Geni Tread. Seeing that, Ki Baratwaja again smashed his right hand towards Panji Tejo Laksono who landed on a tree branch.

Bllaaaaaarrr!!!

The tree branch instantly shattered and collapsed to the ground but Panji Tejo Laksono had dodged the attack. After tracing the ground, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately shot towards Ki Baratwaja while swinging his right hand palm that was red lit like fire. He combined the Fire God Ajian Palm with his Wind Sepian Ajian.

The high speed of Panji Tejo Laksono made Ki Baratwaja flinch when he saw that handsome young man had already swung his right palm towards the chest of this man nicknamed Demon Mountain Wilis. The middle-aged man immediately retraced the attack with his right palm as it already had no room to dodge.

Rrrrrrrrrrr!!

The banner of Tejo Laksono was pushed back a few steps while Ki Baratwaja slammed far back and suckled the ground hard. His red clothes were dirty with mud and grass.

Huuuoooggggh!!

Ki Baratwaja vomited fresh blood a sign that he had suffered severe internal injuries. Seeing that, Panji Tejo Laksono intended to end the fight faster by darting towards Ki Baratwaja. Yet one sword light cut through his body movements.

Whhhuuuuggghhh...!!

Panji Tejo Laksono immediately disengaged his intention to approach Ki Baratwaja who was trying to get up because of the sword air by making a somersault back several times.

Nyi Urwasi approached towards Ki Baratwaja while staring intently at Panji Tejo Laksono.

"You'll be dead soon!"
