THE SUN GOD SWORD
The Istana7

Sungsang Geni prepared many mines along the road in a vast plain full of weeds. He cut down many small trees, punctured them and planted them into the ground.

If only there was a slave master, killing 2 thousand troops with demon powder was not a difficult thing. If Sungsang Geni also has intelligence, it will certainly make a demon carriage that can spit out many arrows in one attack. That would be a big help.

A long day the young man made mines in the street, while Patih Siruyu Citro let him sit under a large tree doing his semadi to gather his inner strength.

At least the man had the ability of an Elder of Sabdo Jagat, perhaps higher than this patih, perhaps as high as Ki Lodro Sukmo.

But the unexpected thing passed through Sungsang Geni's eyes, a girl with a horse was about to walk past the mines she had made. “Wulandari, why did the girl come here?”

Sungsang Geni flew fast, and managed to snatch Wulandari's body while his horse entered the mine, falling along three fathoms away and dying after two mine blades pierced the animal's neck.

Sungsang Geni brought Wulandari under a large trunk, not far from the horse corpse of the girl. With breath still panting, Wulandari looked at Sungsang Geni's face with mixed feelings.

There was a sweet and bitter smile on her cute lips, naturally there were many things she was thinking about right now. His heart was so happy to see the young man's face being close to him, even for a moment he could feel the heartbeat of Sungsang Geni.

But on the other hand, his heart was sad, and the Nasp Cempaka Ayu was in danger. Wulandari couldn't possibly attach importance to her feelings, while there was another girl who was fighting life at the moment.

Realizing that, Wulandari hastened to stay away from Sungsang Geni one step. Turning his face for a moment to the other side, tidying up his clothes then smiling bitterly at the sight of his steed already lifeless.

“What are you doing in this place, why are you alone?” ask Sungsang Geni.

Wulandari smiled wryly, not intending to stare at Sungsang Geni's face for too long as it made her heart even more restless.

“I deliberately searched for you..” said Wulandari still had no intention of staring at Sungsang Geni's face. “There are important things you should know about your lover. Cempaka Ayu.”

Sungsang Geni opened his eyes wide, almost shouting in excitement but on the other hand Wulandari's face was getting gloomy and would probably cry, so he actually turned his head and turned his back to Sungsang Geni.

“But his life is in a critical state, I found him falling on the lawn of our hut. We have been trying to treat it, give the potion and exerting energy in, but unfortunately all the things we did were not successful.”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you deaf? I said your lover's life is in a critical state, so I searched for you for days, because I thought maybe only your strength could help him.”

“Not so..”

“Not so what? Now come with me, it took a few days from this place to arrive at my house.” Wulandari's voice sounded hoarse but high-pitched, the girl had actually been shedding tears since earlier, even when Sungsang Geni's worried look thought of Cempaka Ayu, the girl's heart was getting sicker.

'If I were in the position of Cempaka Ayu, where maybe Geni behaved like this. Teacher, you're right, my feelings hurt.”

Sungsang Geni let out a heavy sigh, not knowing what to do or saying what words this time was. Since he could read minds, so the young man knew what was inside Wulandari's head, it was just that he was not good at acting.

“I will come with you, after finishing this battle.” Sungsang Geni patted Wulandari's shoulder gently. “Ma'forgive me for hurting you, but right now behind that Illusory Mist, Negri Tumenang in disaster, I have to stop King Prajansara in this place. Or the country will never be helped again.”

“Prajamsara? I know that name, if not mistaken Three Malacca Demon Swordsmen are behind the man.”

“Yes, the three evil warriors of Malacca have the most powerful abilities under my father's command. They might not be as strong as the Demon Kelewar Commander, but if they fought together, the three Malacca Demon Warriors could be said to be at the same level as the first Demon Bat Commander.”

“Is that it?” muttered Sungsang Geni. So far he had not seen except hearing only a small portion of the First Demon Bat Commander's strength, how it looked and also how it was, all were still mysterious.

But if the Three Swordsmen of the Malacca Demon were as strong as the First Commander, this would be quite a difficult battle. Sungsang Geni asked Wulandari to tell him all the abilities of the three of them, the weapons they used and also the manner and style of fighting.

Wulandari though still in a state of heart slashed, explained all the information about the three warriors as much as he knew. But not too detailed, because Wulandari had never seen the true strength of the three warriors.

“I'll help you..” close Wulandari.

“But this is very dangerous, you may get injured in battle.”

Wulandari gave a small smile, when she saw the look on Sungsang Geni's face a little worried, the girl's heart turned flowery. Apparently Sungsang Geni was also worried about his safety, Wulandari thought.

“I'm not kidding, why are you smiling to yourself. You were crying now and smiling.”

Wulandari did not care, she was shaking her body biting her lower lip with a red face. “I will still fight, indeed I am not as strong as your lover, but if against ten or twenty keroco, I can obviously.”

Sungsang Geni shook his head, not intending to continue this debate because he knew, women will win every debate.

The young man flew over on the dead horse halfway through, clearing all the mines and bloodstains. He tidied up the location as before, burying the horse in the forest.

After the day began evening, Sungsang Geni and Wulandari flew to the Patih Siruyu Citro Citro. The old man still closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged under the tree.

Wulandari was about to ask who the old man was, but Sungsang Geni put his index finger on his lips hinting not to interfere in his entirety.

At night, Wulandari sat across from Sungsang Geni on a piece of wood, overlooking the campfire. In the center of the campfire, there was a rabbit roasted by Sungsang Geni.

Obviously the roasted rabbit is for Wulandari, because Sungsang Geni will not eat meat. Busy blowing a bonfire, busy Wulandari also steal a glance at the young man.

“This reminds me of the first time I took shelter under the night sky with you.” Wulandari smiled slightly. “Perhaps you have forgotten that, but the memory I will remember to death.”

“What are you talking about, no one has ever forgotten all the things I have been through with you, and also Ireng.” Sungsang Geni blew the rabbit meat several times, then thrust the meat to Wulandari. “You've helped me a lot, where I might forget.”

After their little chatter passed, Wulandari slept soundly, the girl's journey was very far away, of course tired and crummy stuff. Sungsang Geni took off his thick robe, enveloping Wulandari carefully.

He then sat cross-legged closing his eyes while sharpening all his senses and blending into nature.

As the day was just getting up in the morning, the sneers of Sungsang Geni caught the rumbling sound of the horse's legs running slowly. There was a lot of horse-foot-tightness, signifying it was an enemy that was about to come.

Simultaneously Patih Siruyu Citro stood together with Sungsang Geni. “The enemy is approaching..”
