Dragon Star Dahanapura

Episode 17 The White Crocodile

"Dhuug... braakk ... !!!

The gentala was pushed back and hit the wall made of woven bamboo. The bamboo wall was crushed by Gentala's body, he fell and fainted. His left hand appeared to bleed from Kirana's sword incision.

The waiter in the room was surprised and hurriedly saw what was happening. They were shocked, but did not dare to interfere to see Kirana who was still standing near Gentala.

"Huh, weak man, many styles", Kirana said as sheathed the sword.

Then he went back to his place and continued eating. Nyai Anjani who just came out after hearing a noise, went straight to Kirana's place. He came and was shocked, immediately apologizing even though he did not know what happened.

But not Anjani name if not good at twisting language. As an innkeeper, he had often faced events like this. Siding with a person who is clearly empowered is important. In this case, Anjani saw that taking the side of Bukit Bintang was certainly more guiding than this young man who had just come to his inn.

"Den Ayu, forgive this discomfort, as compensation, all these dishes do not need to be paid" said Anjani.

"Hemmm.", that was all that came out of Kirana's mouth while still enjoying the ginger wedang with the new container in her hand.

Issuing a few picis to maintain a relationship with customers is a priority. Then Anjani told some of her male servants to lift Gentala towards her room. Narsih painstakingly cleaned the wound on Gentala's left hand and bandaged it with a cloth.

"Hey. boy, until when are you going to pretend to faint" said Wardhani. Indeed Gentala just pretended to faint, he did not want his heart to get angry, if he knew Gentala was fine hit by a kick.

"He heh.., I did not expect to get as close as Kirana" replied Gentala.

He still imagined, how his face could be that close to Kirana.

Dewi Kamaratih the Goddess of Love...

Why did you come to disturb my tribe

Ah.. It's not just bamboo that hits my temple...

Then his sword. and his kick...

It's definitely....

Next time I'll get his heart

Wait for Kirana Mahadevi

Gentala returned, like a poet. The beautiful words of a young man in a drunkenness slid smoothly, without even thinking.

"When did you become such a poet?" said Wardhani, who needs no answer.

"If you want to go after him, you have to be stronger, beat him then you'll get his heart" Wardhani continued.

"When did Nyai become this wise ? Usually Nyai will talk ngalor ngidul just like that, hehehe.", replied Gentala while grinning.

"The real polo collar seems to be this boy", inner Wardhani.

In the evening, Gentala continued meditation to maintain the balance of inner energy and chakra energy he had. In the morning, he continued his journey to Klotok Hill. Bonggol who had rested for two days looked refreshed, welcoming his jury.

The Gentala journey continues again to the Brantas River (the river that later divides Kahuripan into Jenggala and Panjalu. Jenggala in the east with the capital Kahuripan and Panjalu in the West with the capital Dahanapura). This river is inhabited by a white crocodile demon that numbers in the hundreds.

The demon in the river rarely comes out and disturbs humans because it has made a pact with a Pandhita named Resi Kaniyasa. But lately there is often a fight between warriors with white crocodile stealth.

This incident was triggered by the many warriors who wanted the stone mustika stealth, to increase strength or be sold. The once peaceful river is back again. Crossing services are getting quieter and now emerging warriors who offer their services to guard the crossing.

The sun was still overhead, when Gentala entered the forest area on the banks of the Brantas river. The forest is not so broad, only shrub plants that grow there. Out of the forest he had reached the lips of the river Brantas.

The rushing stream of the river, and its depth reached three spears. No mad swordsman crossed the river by swimming. Only a few warriors could cross that river by flying.

Gentala down the river bank with a medium speed horse riding, he did not want to waste the scenery nearby.

"Yeah.... Sword Force Reaching for the Star", Kirana shouted as she slashed her sword towards the white crocodile demon.

Sasmita and Orange made hassles by 5 stealth that ganged him. Sabetan crocodile tail bertubi make both run out of energy. Orange shirt looks torn part of his arm, he got a crushing blow on his left arm.

Sasmita still looked better, although it did not appear to be an external wound, but on his lips exposed fresh blood stains. Even two of his friends had fainted since.

Sasmita again attacked with the rest of his strength, he issued the same style with Kirana. It's just that the power of destruction is still under the power of Kirana. The attack was directed at two demons who attacked him simultaneously.

Samita's sword swing hit the demon's belly, one demon died instantly with the entrails out. Then the next swing he directed to fend off the white crocodile tail.

"Slaass... !!!

The crocodile's tail broke off, and tried to retreat. The orange that had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately hunted the wounded demon. He managed to stick a sword in the crocodile's head. He smiled at Sasmita.

Kirana's state also looks exhausted, at this time he has killed 7 crocodile stealth. There is still one demon left, and it seems the most powerful among them. Kirana's power had been drained to slaughter the demon before, now she could only dodge and survive.

Until finally Kirana let her guard down, her left leg mired into the ground, until lost balance. The opportunity was not wasted by the crocodile demon.

Quickly, the demon smashed its tail towards Kirana's body. Red light accompanied the crocodile's tail. Sasmita and Orange can only see from a distance.

"Edge ...", cried Sasmita and Orange at the same time. Kirana just resigned herself, receiving the blow. He was sure he would not survive the blow.

Dhhuarr... !!!

*****

"I feel the stealth here" whispered Wardhani.

Gentala accelerated his horse's pace, as he watched from a distance the three women were gang-raped by the white crocodile. He recognized them by the clothes he wore.

"Kirana.".", Inner Gentala.

He jumped off his horse as he approached Kirana who was mired in a hole in the ground. Until finally just before the crocodile tail sabetage landed on Kirana's body.

Dhhuarr... !!!

A violent clash occurred between the crocodile's tail with both Gentala's arms crossed in front of the chest. Fresh blood came out of Gentala's mouth, and he staggered almost to a collapse.

"What happened ?" inner Kirana. He was waiting for the attack to land but felt nothing after the explosion. He opened his eyes and saw someone fending off the stealth attack.

Gentala stood up again and prepared to attack the demon in front of him. He drew the sword he bought yesterday. He took out the style of the Sky-Sweeping Star Sword.

"That move.", inner Kirana.

Yellow lightning came out accompanying the sword slash that Gentala had done. The Crocodile demon fended off with its tail. The explosion happened again, the crocodile demon was thrown backwards and did not move back. He died instantly in one hit.

Gentala fell down after exerting all his strength in one swing. Fresh blood now flowed more and more on his lips. His breathing hunts, he tries to sit but is unable to support his weight.

He almost fell down, when Kirana came to help him sit down. Kirana was surprised to see the young man who saved her was the young man she kicked yesterday.

"Sit down, regulate your breathing, I'll help you ease the deep wounds you've been through" Kirana said.

Gentala who was sitting, set his breathing, then said "No need Kirana, save your energy to treat your friend" said Gentala.

"Where do you know my name?" said Kirana.

Gentala did not answer, because he was concentrating on regulating breathing and gathering energy in. Kirana snorted in annoyance, as her question was ignored by the young man.

Then he went to Sasmita and Orange to help him recover. He used the crocodile stealth mustika he had just gathered to help his students recover.

The day began to twilight, as Kirana and her four disciples finished recuperating. He was about to continue his journey, and approached Gentala.

"At least tell me what your name is" Kirana said near Gentala. Gentala who was still mediocre opened his eyes to end the meditation he did.
