THE SUN GOD SWORD
Sayembara2
Rindang Sari hinted that his soldiers would pull back the drawn sword on Sungsang Geni's neck.
“I don't like your way, bodyguard!” Rindang Sari was heard suppressing her voice.
“Ma'forgive me, Your Majesty.”
Meanwhile Saylendra raised his eyebrows, appearing to be digesting the words of Sungsang Geni just now. The king knew the state of the Kerakatau mountains more than anyone else on the Swarnadwipa plains.
He had sent hundreds of soldiers to conquer the mountains, in order to cooperate with the land on the plains. But as far as he went, no one could, until his intention to trade into the Java plain vanished already.
The sea road is also not an easy thing, the movement of the wind that hit the towering mountains of kerakatau make a huge storm rotation along the ocean that connects the two plains.
The collision of sea currents that hit the kerakatau mountains, making a new current that swirls at certain times and places. It is very difficult to predict the weather in the ocean.
The only way is by detour, stop some other countries and pass the sea Negri Sembilan located on the east side which takes 2 years. In any case, passing the detour would not be profitable.
“Your Majesty the King!” Sungsang Geni then gave a letter written directly by Lakuning Banyu, with the seal Surasena.
It took a while for Saylendra to digest every sentence written by Lakuning Banyu, but the point of the letter was to ask Swarnadwipa to help the refugees of Surasena.
“I don't know if you're lying or not, but give one good reason why we should save you?” ask Saylendra.
“The enemies we face have strong ambition, intelligence and politics, they are great conquerors.” Cempaka Ayu answered Saylendra's question. “Now the only reason why Swarnadwipa has not had the impact, is because we are still alive and struggling. Your Majesty the King, war one will bring other wars, do you think after they succeed in destroying us who is their next target?”
Saylendra was speechless hearing the smart statement of the beautiful girl in front of him. Of course it is all true, Saylendra can not dismiss this problem just like that, or gradually the calm in the country that he leads will be disturbed.
“Our opponent has a great ally, there may be two or three other countries behind them. There may even be one of the countries that became close friends Swarnadwipa.”
“What do you mean?” saylendra asked, her face suddenly becoming a little tense.
Sungsang Geni turned his gaze to the girl then shook his head several times, gesturing not to say anything related to Negri Nine at the moment. There is no solid evidence for that.
“Look at His Majesty the King,” said Sungsang Geni. “Save that letter for you to think about, however I respect all the decisions you make! But..” Sungsang Geni was silent for a moment while exhaling heavily, “your decision will determine the Nasip Negri Swarnadwipa, right?”
Sungsang Geni bowed then once more, then walked away from Saylendra and Ratu Rindang Sari, but before they went any further Saylendra said heavy.
“What will you do?”
“I'll get medicine for Her Majesty Queen.” Sungsang Geni turned towards Rindang Sari then smiled politely.
Meanwhile Rindang Sari stared at Sungsang Geni's footsteps without blinking, as if she was staring at someone who left and did not come back again.
There was a thrilling feeling in the recesses of his heart when he saw the young man, the same feeling as when he was staring at the face of his ailing daughter. He himself did not quite understand, but the young man's face felt familiar no longer.
“Dinda? What happened to you?” tanya Saylendra caught the tears Rindang Sari dripped down her cheeks. “What your disease began to recur, just relax dinda, there must be one of them who managed to get the coconut.”
“Dinda why suddenly you say that, our son..”.
Saylendra did not continue his words, he immediately hugged his wife's body tightly while Rindang Sari outlined tears in his arms.
“I just hope he's alive, Kanda.” The queen sobbed holding back the cries. “I just hope, I just hope, Kanda..”.

Sungsang Geni and Cempaka Ayu followed in the footsteps of the first warriors who went to find the coconut trunk. But from this place, Sungsang Geni could already faintly see a palm towering over the hill.
“Geni, how can we take the fruit while our inner power cannot be used to fly?” Tanya Cempaka Ayu .
“I will climb that tree..” replied Sungsang Geni. “I need the shawl you used to do it.”
After a 30-minute journey, they could both see dozens of warriors facing the onslaught of bee-stealth attacks that might number in the thousands. The demon lodged right in the coconut trunk, just one fathom away from the ground.
In the diameter of 10 fathoms, there was not a single plant that grew in the location of the coconut tree, not even moss. Ayu Cempaka believes it is caused by toxins produced by the bee stealth.
Some of the warriors had already died when they had just received one bee sting, some others had preferred to escape rather than die silly. There is more to life than the ambition to be Duke.
“The formula is correct, we cannot use internal energy when entering the region.” said Cempaka Ayu.
“I once felt that, my inner energy also vanished when entering the cave at the top of mahameru.” Sungsang Geni scratched his head that did not itch. “But if my guess is correct, I can use the solar fire energy sword.”
Sungsang Geni then stared at the coconut trunk, which was not even visible to him the tip of the tree. Very high, defeating an entire demon bee does not guarantee it can take the fruit from that coconut.
The next challenge is to climb the tree that can not even be done with the help of the science of lightening the body. It looks like it will take 2 days and 1 night to arrive at the end of the tree, therefore Sungsang Geni needs a Cempaka Ayu shawl to be wrapped around his body.
There was the sound of shouting from a large man who had previously been so arrogant and haughty before the other swordsman. Apparently he was exposed to dozens of stings from bees, making him die instantly, with a frothy mouth and a blackened face.
Sungsang Geni intended to help all those who were affected by the sting, but it was useless just a matter of minutes they all died fighting.
Now about 40 warriors died horribly, while the other warriors chose to flee from the place, leaving only Sungsang Geni and Cempaka Ayu with anxious faces.
The young man then took out a sword of energy from his right palm, then directed the tip of the sword into the region without any deep energy.
Sungsang Geni looked extremely doubtful, if the energy sword that came from the blessing of the sun also disappeared then there was no chance for him to defeat the demon.
But suddenly there was a heavy sound coming out from inside the tree, or maybe from inside the beehive. “What is your purpose in coming here, Son of Man?”
Note: Since Sungsang Geni mastered the shadow sword technique, he could also draw out an energy sword from his left palm just like the shadow swordsman did. The reason he did not do so was, because the fire energy in his right arm was easier to gather than his inner power.
