Flying Umbrella Swordsman

Stalking

In the morning when Balebat Cakravarman troops have continued their journey. As usual Adijaya rode a horse beside the carriage carrying the Commander.

Behind the train. Hastabahu and Ganggasara appear close together on their mounts. The gaze of Ganggasara cannot be separated from Adijaya.

"I felt followed by someone all night" said Ganggasara. "The movement is very subtle. The low-level swordsman will not feel his presence,"

"You suspect someone?" ask Hastabahu.

Their conversation was slow. Like they were whispering.

"Of course, I have to suspect who. Everyone here is under our control. Including the Commander," replied Ganggasara.

"That young man?" Hastabahu glanced towards Adijaya.

"I suspect he's hiding something. From yesterday it seemed like he was watching me,"

"Yes, stupid looks sometimes deceive,"

"But what was afraid of a snot-like young man like him?"

"I watched it all night, but I was a little bit too late. He disappeared for a while without me knowing when he left his place. He was in front of the fire. Surprisingly, I don't know when he's back either. Know-how is in place," said Hastabahu ended with the story last night when he asked Adijaya.

"We'll see, he won't be out of my sight!"

What they talk about cannot be separated from Adijaya's very sensitive hearing.

"Gusti, are we going through the forest of Palutungan?" adijaya asked Commander Cakrawarman.

"Yes, that's our goal to get there. We'll set up a new base there. The plan is that all support forces from these areas will be heading there as well,"

"Oh," Adijaya nods while glaring upwards.

"What are you asking me about that?"

"I want to tell you something, but just the two of you,"

"Oh, yeah. Does it matter? You know something?"

"Yes, Gusti. If you can't let anyone know,"

Cakravarman put his face out the window of the train. Staring Adijaya. Somehow this young man dared to stare back with an earnest look.

"All right, you set it up!"

"Well, Gusti."

***

Palutungan Forest is located at the foot of Mount Indrakilla (Ciremai) far to the west of the city of king Indraprahasta which is in the east even somewhat entered to the north. Within seven days the rebel army had arrived. When the sun was just above their heads arrived. As usual, they are confident. Not afraid of the threat of the enemy attacking. Even against Indraprahasta who in this case sided with Tarumanagara.

Other times are busy setting up tents and other necessities. These three people even quietly left the bustle. They are Minister of Ganggasara, Deputy Commander of the Dewaraja army and leader of Bhayangkara Hastabahu.

They go to a remote place that is rarely entered by humans. In the lush forest. Sunlight can not penetrate the dense foliage so that the atmosphereanua looks dim.

"Make sure no one's stalking!" hastabahu told Ganggasara.

Indeed, among the three, Ganggasara most powerful of his knowledge. So he is believed to be able to feel in case anyone follows.

Ganggasara closed for a moment. "Nothing!"

"Right, your teacher ordered us here?" ask Dewaraja to Ganggasara.

"Yes, I'll call him,"

Then Ganggasara put two palms together on the chest. Mouths muttering. A cold wind blew for a moment. Suddenly appeared the figure of a fat short man whose face was stretched.

This one called Eyang stared one by one at a time at the person in front of him.

"The terms are clear, I was made an adviser to the king. And you control all the wheels of government against my will" said the fat short.

"Yes, Eyang. We have responded" said Ganggasara.

"Good! I will soon gather a guriang army to help you fight!"

After saying so this fat short figure that was called Eyang disappeared back.

"Who will be the emperor to overthrow Cakravarman?" ask Ganggasara.

Two of his friends looked at each other. In their hearts they desperately wanted that position. But looking at the height of the science of Ganggasara, they were as shrivelled. Fear will be taken back to his throne.

"I trust you, because you are the most powerful of all" said Dewaraja.

"Yes, as long as we get the highest position after you," said Hastabahu.

And suddenly!

"Oh, so this is your plan!"

These three people both turned towards the source of the voice.

Cakravarman!

This is what Adijaya meant when he was about to tell you something. Earlier when Adijaya stalked Ganggasara met a figure called Eyang. Ganggasara informed him that Palutungan forest will be used as a headquarters and asked for help so that the fat short Eyang sent troops guriang. But Eyang put up the conditions. As we know in the conversation.

Then secretly Adijaya with the Commander stalked them. Of course the young man used his strength to avoid being tapped by them.

They were shocked to see the sudden arrival of the Cakravarman. Hastabahu and Dewaraja both looked at Ganggasara. I mean, why would there be a stalker? And he said there was none!

Confused about what to say or do. Cakravarman who had been ignited by anger immediately attacked the three. They do not want to serve their leaders.

The next moment a figure flashed towards Ganggasara. Adijaya.

"You!"

Ganggasara surprised not play. Adijaya immediately launched an attack while taking his opponent away from the Cakravarman battle arena against his two subordinates.

Ganggasara's suspicions are correct. That Adijaya is hiding something. It turned out that this young man possessed a power that could not be considered trivial. The proof is that he did not feel when he was stalked. Means that time was also true that this young man who stalked and then told Cakravarman so that this fight happened.

Because they know the advantages of the opponent. The unmitigated Ganggasara unleashed all of its power. Direct mainstay moves are released with full inner energy.

For Adijaya this is the second battle after the previous fight against Pendekar Nusa Sabay. This time the opponent was tougher. Ganggasara has an unforgiving death. Adijaya issued a style of creation that is not named with a higher level while occasionally imitating the style of the opponent.

Until twenty-five moves passed Ganggasara has not been able to urge opponents. Actually Adijaya also felt anxious. Doubt his strength because in fact he has not really understood the knowledge he has.

However, that doubt he tried to overlap with calmness. He is not fighting to defeat. But defend while looking for the weaknesses of the opponent.

Once the gap opens, opportunity is gained. Don't waste any more time, he's gonna blow.

Degh's!

The palm of Adijaya's right hand managed to penetrate the opponent's defense. Landed on Ganggasara's chest that field. So that the body of this minister fell down rolled up to five spears.

Adijaya. But the figure of Ganggasara vanished like swallowed by the earth. It had raised his gaze but there was no sign of the person's existence.

"Where is he?"

Over there the fight of the Commander against two subordinates is still fierce. Hastabahu and Dewaraja looked desperate even though they were ganged up. Cakravarman did not seem to give mercy to the two men.
