The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Maharaja Rakai Sirkan Sri Bameswara Parakrama Digjaya Uttunggadewa

The Panjalu troops under the leadership of Panji Tejo Laksono who had just won the battle, immediately moved towards Kotaraja Daha. The news was delivered by two loyal followers of the late Senopati Agung Jarasanda, making those who had loosened their vigilance immediately tense up to take up arms again. They all know the nature and character of Jayawarsa Mapanji. There was definitely going to be another commotion inside Kotaraja Daha and this was the reason why they were prepared to be on standby.

Twenty thousand Panjalu soldiers, mostly from the Duchy of Seloageng, began to enter the city. When he arrived at the Kotaraja Daha square, from the opposite direction appeared the Bojonegoro Duchy led by Mapanji Jayawarsa.

The Duke of Bojonegoro immediately snorted loudly when he saw the emergence of Panjalu troops with the leader of Panji Tejo Laksono riding the front. From the appearance of Panjalu's army, he immediately knew that the rebel group from the south led by the Duke of Windupati, Mpu Gandasena and Begawan Without Faces had been defeated. His grand plan had half failed.

"My mighty brother...

I'm so glad to see you here. In this way, my coronation as the young king will feel more beautiful hehehehehe", pleasantries directly spoken from the mouth of Mapanji Jayawarsa when he faced Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Who has crowned you, Dhimas Jayawarsa?

I didn't feel like I heard about the news at all. Or is it just your ambition that wants to seize power from the hands of Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana?", said Panji Tejo Laksono calm but sounded like a lightning bolt in broad daylight.

"What do you mean by that, Kangmas Tejo Laksono? I don't understand it at all", Mapanji Jayawarsa tries to be kinked at avoiding trouble.

"Allah you will not be able to wash your hands after what you have done, Dhimas Jayawarsa. Your soldiers have attacked Panjalu's soldiers. You also pitted the higher-ups of the Katang-katang Palace to fight each other out until finally your chess pieces you killed to remove the traces.

Don't you think I don't know all your evil deeds, Dhimas Jayawarsa. There's an eyewitness who saw all your deeds. Surrender, my brother! I will ask for leniency from Kanjeng Romo Prabu Jayengrana for all the wrongs you have committed ", Panji Tejo Laksono said as he stared intently at Mapanji Jayawarsa. The Duke of Bojonegoro was immediately surprised not to play to hear the description conveyed by his half-brother. But he tried hard to hide his surprise as soon as possible.

"Don't bullshit, Kangmas Tejo Laksono.

Bring here your witness so that the slander you exhale will be a revolving weapon attacking its master. Come on, where's your eyewitness Kangmas Tejo Laksono?!", challenge Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately.

He had been working on the plan for almost half a decade but everything was not in line with what he expected. Feeling no choice but to challenge the witness, Mapanji Jayawarsa chose to do so.

Plookkkk..

Twice Panji Tejo Laksono clapped his hands as a gesture. Two soldiers loyal to the late Senopati Agung Jarasanda run his horse slowly to the left side of the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"They both saw Senopati Tunggul Arga killing the late Senopati Agung Jarasanda, after which Senopati Tunggul Arga approached you and you killed him to remove the traces.

Now, do you still need another witness Dhimas Jayawarsa?!", shouted Panji Tejo Laksono who immediately made the face of Mapanji Jayawarsa pale. He immediately turned to his right side.

"It's already wet, just take a shower..

Randusongo, kill the two now!!!", orders Mapanji Jayawarsa who made Demung Randusongo who rode on the right rear immediately shot towards the two soldiers witness his actions.

Simultaneously, Mapanji Jayawarsa swung his right hand forward and all the soldiers of the Duchy of Bojonegoro immediately slumped forward towards Panji Tejo Laksono and the soldiers of Panjalu. This battle between brothers could no longer be avoided.

Thhrraaanggg!!

Dhhaaaassshhhh dhhiieeeeeeessshhh!!

The sound of clashing weapons followed by a loud cry of pain from the mouth of the wounded soldier was instantly heard in the Kotaraja Daha square. In a short time, Kotaraja Daha Square was flooded with blood.40 thousand soldiers from two opposing camps, fighting to impose their will on the others.

Demung Randusongo immediately jumped high into the air while swinging his sword towards the two eyewitnesses who were to the left of the Panji Tejo Laksono. A swarm of cold wind rippled furiously following the thin sword air unleashed by Demung Randusongo.

Shhrreeettthhh!!!

Song Zhao Meng who happened to be beside them, immediately turned her palm beside her waist. A cold chill was created in front of him, then instantly formed a thick chunk of ice. As soon as the swift attack came, Song Zhao Meng immediately raised his right hand forward immediately.

Beams of ice chunks as thick as two hands of adults pu immediately blocked the movement of the sword air released by Demung Randusongo who immediately landed 6 spears in front of Song Zhao Meng.

Whhuuummm..

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

From the back, Endang Patibrata bounces high into the air, sees jumping over the iceberg explosion and sliding rapidly towards Demung Randusongo while blasting his sword.

Shhrreeettthhh shreeeeettttthhh!

Thhrraaanggg thhrraanggg!!

The fierce battle with swords between them became the fight that received the most attention. Mapanji Jayawarsa who wants to cheat, turn his palm and target the back of Endang Patibrata. A strip of blackish blue light fluttered towards the back of this princess Lurah Wanua Pulung.

As the blackish-blue light was about to hit the back of the concubine Duke Seloageng, a shadow with a body covered by golden-yellow light flashed swiftly against the bokongan attack.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Endang Patibrata was surprised instead of playing to hear a huge explosion behind him. But when he knew who was there, he immediately smiled broadly while continuing his fight against Demung Randusongo who had martial skills far above average.

The eyes of Mapanji Jayawarsa bought wide when he saw a figure of a burly man standing in the middle of a thick puff of smoke with a body in a golden yellow light. The man's eyes stared intently at him.

"Dhimas Jayavarsa!!!

You really cannot be forgiven anymore!!!", shouted the figure of a man in the middle of a puff of smoke that was none other than Panji Tejo Laksono. The ruler of the Duchy of Seloageng immediately tracked the land hard and then quickly shot towards Mapanji Jayawarsa.

Whhhuuuggghhhh..

Dhasshhhh dhhaaaasshhh!!

Two quick movements of Panji Tejo Laksono directly hit the ribs of his half-brother. Although he had staggered back a few steps back, Mapanji Jayawarsa growled loudly while lunging forward towards his half-brother.

The fierce battle between these two young princes was going on. Panji Tejo Laksono was quite surprised to also see the actual martial ability of his half-brother. During this time, Mapanji Jayawarsa has never once shown his martial skills but this time, he has a high level of power and reliable martial skills.

Bllaaaaaarrr!!!

Loud explosions were heard from the clash of the two hands of the young princes of Panjalu. Both Panji Tejo Laksono and Mapanji Jayawarsa both receded a few steps back. Mapanji Jayawarsa felt numbness and pain on his wrist while Panji Tejo Laksono only felt a little pain. From the recent internal power struggle, it can be seen that Panji Tejo Laksono excels over his half-brother.

While grazing loudly, Mapanji Jayawarsa stretched both hands to the side of his body and crossed with his hands clenched tightly in front of his chest. A blackish-blue light gathered on both of his fists. This was the form of the Ajian Sukm Destroyer Blow that he learned from his teacher, Resi Baruna.

Seeing that, Panji Tejo Laksono did not want to lose and immediately issued Ajian Mundri Sasongko Jati which was obtained from Resi Gentayu aka Prabu Airlangga. His two fists shone brightly with a golden yellow light. As soon as Mapanji Jayawarsa darted quickly towards his direction and slammed his fist towards the head, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately greeted him with his ultimate study.

Dhhhuuuaaaayarrrrrr!!!!

A huge explosion was heard as both of their hands clashed. Mapanji Jayawarsa is slashed far back and his back hit the statue of Dwarapala in front of the gate of Katang-katang Palace. In the immediate vomiting of fresh blood.

At the same time, appeared a white short-bearded old man with his hair loop tilted to the right and white clothes like a sage. The old grandfather's eyes glanced at Mapanji Jayawarsa who was struggling helplessly while continuing to vomit fresh blood. After which, he snorted loudly and lunged forward quickly towards Panji Tejo Laksono. He is Resi Baruna, Mapanji Jayawarsa's teacher who is always not far from his students.

The body movements of this old man were truly beyond belief. With a single stomp, he had arrived in front of Panji Tejo Laksono and directly smashed into the young prince's chest.

Dhhaasshhh!!

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!!

The banner of Tejo Laksono was pushed back several spears backwards. The old sage continued to hunt him and saw that Panji Tejo Laksono immediately cast the spell Ajian Tameng Waja. His body was again engulfed by a golden yellow light.

Bhhhaammmmmmmm bhhuuuummmmmmhh!!

After using Ajian Tameng Waja, Resi Baruna's hard punch was only able to push Panji Tejo Laksono's body half a step back backwards. Unbelieving to be able to drop the Panji Tejo Laksono, Resi Baruna circled the body of Panji Tejo with a very fast movement while occasionally smashing the body of the ruler of the Duchy of Seloageng with the Ajian Punch of the Destroyer Sukma.

Slowly, Panji Tejo Laksono who was still under the pressure of the Baruna Rishis took out the Fire Dragon Sword hidden behind another dimensional gap. After plucking the Fire Dragon Sword from its scabbard, Panji Tejo Laksono instantly made his mind twist around the surroundings where he stood.

Shhrrraaakkkkhh!!

A large circle of red light grew rapidly, spreading out in all directions. And..

Chhhrrraaaaaaassssssshhh!!!

AAAARRGGGGGGGHHH!!!

There was a loud scream from the left side behind Panji Tejo Laksono. As Panji Tejo Laksono turned his head in that direction, a thin old man fell down onto the ground with his body cut into two pieces. The slash of the Fire Dragon Sword had apparently cut through the Baruna Rishi's body. He died with a body covered in blood.

After finishing the life of the Baruna Rishis, Panji Tejo Laksono walked up to the severely injured Mapanji Jayawarsa while carrying the Fire Dragon Sword.

All of a sudden..

"Stop Tejo Laksono, that's enough!!!!"

Panji Tejo Laksono immediately stopped his steps and turned towards the gate of the Katang-katang palace where the figure of Prabu Jayengrana who had a pale face due to illness, walking closer to the young prince while on the papah by Sekar Mayang and Ratna Pitaloka. Ayu Galuh, Dewi Srimpi, Dewi Anggarawati, Dewi Naganingrum and Cempluk Rara Sunti follow behind him. Also Mapatih Warigalit took part in the meeting.

The fierce war between the soldiers of Panjalu and the Duchy of Bojonegoro was immediately stopped. Both sides are pulling towards the opposite side but remain prepared for any eventuality.

"Are you crazy, Tejo Laksono? Do you want to kill your own sister?!", a loud tone sounded from Ayu Galuh's mouth immediately. He was so unaccepting to see his son lying helplessly on the ground.

"A country will santosa if the law is upheld, Mother Queen..

At present, there is someone who has abused his power, made evil conspiracies with the intention of undermining the authority of the government, bringing down the legitimate government by way of rebellion, he said, is not in accordance with the Law of Kutara Manawa which is the basis of the life of the people of Panjalu then the person must be sentenced to death.

Am I wrong if I want to uphold the law and the truth in this country?", Panji Tejo Laksono said firmly.

"Don't just talk, Tejo Laksono..

Accusing people without evidence is a serious crime. Are you prepared for all the consequences that you must bear if your accusations are not proven?", Nararya Ayu Galuh said.

"I'm not talking for no reason, Mother Queen.

The two men were eyewitnesses who saw firsthand how Dhimas Jayawarsa pitted the high-ranking soldiers of Panjalu, then killed Tumenggung Tunggul Arga to remove the trace", The banner of Tejo Laksono pointed towards two soldiers loyal to the late Senopati Agung Jarasanda.

The two of them immediately stepped forward to speak. But before they spoke, Demung Randusongo who hid behind the soldiers of the Duchy of Bojonegoro immediately slammed his right hand to the two soldiers. A streak of blackish-green light covered in strong winds charged forward towards them.

Bllaammmmmmm!!

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!

It happened so fast that no one noticed the quick attack. Two soldiers loyal followers of the late Senopati Agung Jarasanda was immediately killed instantly with a charred body and part of his body destroyed.

Nararya Ayu Galuh smiled cynically at the sight of it all, as well as Mapanji Jayawarsa who was still resting on the ground. They feel that Mapanji Jayawarsa has escaped death.

Song Zhao Meng immediately turned both of her palms. The coldness rippled furiously following the white mist that appeared around Demung Randusongo's body. Not yet had Demung Randusongo made a move, his legs had frozen in place. The ice continued to move upwards, freezing half of his legs. No matter how much energy he exerted, not a single bit was able to move his frozen legs in Song Zhao Meng's chunks of ice.

"Now, who else is the witness that you want to present Tejo Laksono?", challenge Ayu Galuh immediately.

Tumenggung Wirabuana with the Panjalu soldiers who came from behind, immediately kneeled.

"Hamba is another witness Gusti Ratu" said Tumenggung Wirabuana while respecting Prabu Jayengrana, Ayu Galuh and the other wives of Panji Watugunung.

"Youyou...."

"It's not just him, Gusti Queen. The servant also brought witnesses who saw the messenger from Prince Mapanji Jayawarsa divulge the secrets of Panjalu soldiers who fought the Jenggala soldiers to cause the death of Senopati Agung Narapraja. Here it is", Tumenggung Ludaka led Kenanga aka Gudawa, Demung Gumbreg's young wife to the front. Apparently when the commotion died down, Tumenggung Ludaka told Gumbreg to call his young wife. And this is the plan of Tumenggung Ludaka when he agreed to Demung Gumbreg's request to bring Goalwa to Kotaraja Daha.

"All of you!!!!

Huhhhhh, Kangmas Prabu Jayengrana don't listen to their babble. They have all worked together to destroy our son", Nararya Ayu Galuh immediately turned to Prabu Jayengrana, hoping that her husband would defend Mapanji Jayawarsa.

Prabu Jayengrana, who was pale in pain, was silent for a moment before speaking.

"According to the Code of Law of Kutara Manawa, a traitor to the state will be sentenced to death.

Dharmadyaksa ring Kasaiwan, take Mapanji Jayawarsa to prison. Tomorrow morning, he will be hanged in this square! And his followers will be punished according to their respective mistakes" said Prabu Jayengrana.

Hearing the words of the Maharaja of Panjalu, Nararya Ayu Galuh immediately sat down while crying bitterly. Meanwhile, Mapanji Jayawarsa slowly got up from his seat. He secretly plucked the heirloom keris at his waist. While exerting all the remaining deep energy, he darted quickly towards Prabu Jayengrana while swinging his keris.

At the same time, Panji Manggala Seta who had just finished ending the rebel resistance under the leadership of Mpu Kepung and Mpu Sena entered Kotaraja Daha Square from the west. Seeing that, Panji Manggala Seta flashed quickly cut off the movement of Mapanji Jayawarsa by blasting his Sewu Centipede Sword towards the neck of the Duke of Bojonegoro.

Chhhrrraaaaaaassssssshhh!!

The head of Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately rolled to the ground along with his body right in front of Nararya Ayu Galuh. It happened so fast that everyone was surprised not to play.

The sprinkling of fresh blood from the body of Mapanji Jayawarsa to the body of Nararya Ayu Galuh made the woman dumbstruck for a while. Then he screamed hysterically while calling Jayawarsa's name before collapsing.

But all that makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief because the seizure of the Panjalu kingdom throne has ended with the death of Mapanji Jayawarsa.

****

One full moon later, Panji Tejo Laksono was appointed as Yuwaraja Panjalu. The entire population of Panjalu in general and Kotaraja Daha in particular welcomed the news with great joy.

Right on that very day, a good news for Panji Tejo Laksono came. Dyah Kirana was declared pregnant young, precisely the age of her womb reached 1 full moon. This further completes the happiness of the Yuwaraja Panjalu.

After the appointment of the Panji Tejo Laksono, the peace and peace of the Panjalu government gradually recovered as before. No more tension that becomes a scourge for public life because of the competition of the princes in the struggle for power. Panji Tejo Laksono holds the government of Panjalu because his beloved father, Prabu Jayengrana, never recovered from his illness.

8 The full moon later, Dyah Kirana gave birth to a son in the rain that poured down Kotaraja Daha. Thunder and thunder were mutually unpretentious. Lightning's grabbing everywhere. This is like a natural disaster that hit the Kotaraja Daha region.

The birth of the little prince made Dyah the only wife of Panji Tejo Laksono who had male offspring. With the presence of the little prince, Dyah Kirana immediately got a place as the main empress of Panji Tejo Laksono.

Two days after the birth of the baby boy, Prabu Jayengrana, who had been sickly for nearly 10 other full-blown babies, died.

The day after the funeral of Prabu Jayengrana, in 1112 AD or in 1190 Saka Panji Tejo Laksono was crowned as the next Maharaja of Panjalu with the title of Sri Maharaja Rakai Siri Sri Bameswara Sakalabhuwana Tustikarana Sarwariwirya Parakrama Digjaya Uttunggadewa. He used the title given by devotees of the descendants of Airlangga to be recognized as one of the descendants of the Kingdom of Medang. Also keep using the title Parakrama to confirm that he is the son of Prabu Jitendrakara.
