KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Sayembara III

Gentayu's sudden presence in the arena caught everyone's attention. The audience from the general public thought, Gentayu just appeared and deliberately waited for his competitors to weaken.

The participants who had been pulled over because they were injured and had to be treated only realized that this young man was the reason for this competition. But none of them felt familiar with Gentayu.

On the stage of honor, Manik Baya smiled when he found out Gentayu deliberately stepped aside and actually relaxed in the coffee shop. Actually, the stone fragments of the statue will not reach the position of gentayu in the store if there is no interference Manik Baya in it.

In fact, if the jelly will be known that the rock that targeted Gentayu flew ahead of other rocks that only hit the crowd of spectators. The distance of both locations was adrift by more than a hundred meters.

The king was initially enthusiastic because he realized this young man as the only one who managed to pass the challenge of Manik Baya. But once seeing his strength only at the level of an earth warrior, Jayadilaga was a little disappointed.

‘Maybe just a coincidence, because he was a disciple of Begawan Manik Baya.’ thought the king.

Actually, not only the king who thinks so, the nobles on the stage of honor also think the same. Even to the point of thinking Manik Baya manipulated his report.

Meanwhile, inside the arena, Karangwangge, Tarsumo and Gentayu faced each other.

Tarsumo looks the most messy among the three of them because his entire body is filled with blood from incision wounds caused by fans belonging to Karangwangge. But actually, he was the best in his condition. The incision wound he received was only a minor wound to the skin, but in large quantities.

On the other hand, Gentayu seemed to be holding onto his stomach. Blood seeped from a knife wound belonging to Karangwangge.

The young man only realized after fingering the handle of the knife that Karangwangge failed to pull from his stomach, that this knife turned out to be also a quality heirloom knife.

Actually Gentayu mastered a kind of immune science. Ordinary weapons would be difficult to harm him.

‘This man is really rich.’ his inner being when staring at Karangwangge and the knife in his stomach alternately.

Gentayu did not know the background of each participant. But the haughty attitude of Karangwangge reminded him of Jalamandana's son in Lamahtang, Bahastian.

While Karangwangge who had injured Gentayu and Tarsumo was also not in good condition. He suffered serious burns after being hit by Gentayu in his form as a fireman. The front of the clothes were charred, along with a layer of skin and flesh under the clothes. Luckily, his main property as a male still survived.

“Wait..! Am I allowed to get out of the conflict between the two of you? I was actually not interested in following this competition.” Hentayu said to the other two people in the arena. They waited each other vigilantly.

“And you..” he continued while pointing at Karangwangge “If you don't force me, I won't get involved here and you won't get hurt either. With this stab wound I assume we're even. So, can I just go?” gentayu tried to negotiate. I don't want to continue the battle any further.

‘I still want to be free’ mental flinch while sighing, his hand still holding the handle of the dagger in his stomach. Blood washes through his clothes.

Without waiting for the answer from the other two people, Gentayu immediately walked out toward the crowd.

“You think you can get away with it after hurting me?!” hardik Karangwangge from behind him.

Finished saying so, Karangwangge instantly unleashed a long-range punch towards the nape of Gentayu.

Gentayu who had not yet lowered his vigilance immediately ducked down, and an explosion occurred when the energy of the punch struck the ground not far from Gentayu standing.

When Gentayu turned around, it turned out that Karangwangge had been behind him, lunging at him with a deadly kick. Luckily, Gentayu who was still in a down position had toppled his body to the left and banged his body backwards to get back up.

The missed kick caused another explosive sound on the ground, a small crack was created in the former place where Gentayu rolled.

But just when Karangwangge was occupied by Gentayu who was not as weak as it seemed, Tarsumo quickly darted to the top of the statue to take the main prize of the competition. Wandering ring!

Feeling without any obstructions, Tarsumo shot away at high speed. In an instant he had been in the chest area of the statue. Unfortunately, his quite careless and less vigilant move had to be regretted later.

A black chain with a celurite tip had wrapped around his body. The chain had been coated with a large amount of energy sufficient to kill a human.

Sound ‘bedebum!’ accompanying the fall of Tarsumo's body to the ground. Tarsumo slammed back into the ground, just in the twinkling of an eye.

A man with a rough face and a short, stocky body had been there. The man is a new participant. A chief escort of one of the envoys was being treated. The strength of the sky swordsman peak radiated strongly from his body.

Karangwangge who originally wanted to immediately kill Gentayu immediately turned his head. Just let Gentayu get away from the arena.

Seeing another foreign man have the power to compensate him, Karangwangge felt threatened. In his injured condition, the prince of Mangkalayang thought that his chances of winning were slim.

Finally, krangwangge had to face someone whose strength was on par with him. The difference is that his body is not in the best condition. In addition to being injured because of Gentayu, this young man also started to get tired from continuously fighting from the beginning using no small amount of daht energy.

Getting a gap to get out of the way, Gentayu immediately sat not far from the crowd. Several pairs of eyes in the audience briefly noticed him before returning to focus on the battlefield.

Regardless of the sound of the Karangwangge and the man's fight, Gentayu tried to pull out the dagger that stuck in his stomach. It only took a little effort, and Gentayu finally managed to pull the dagger out of his body.

Gentayu watched the dagger in his hand. It was true that this dagger was no ordinary dagger.

The dagger let out a powerful murderous air. It seemed, this dagger had taken a lot of casualties. There was a fire mark on the blade of the dagger. Initially, Gentayu thought that the fire sign was just a decoration. But when Gentayu's finger touched the symbol, something happened.

The dagger turned into a fire blade. Completely fire, yet remain in its form as a dagger. “Belati Api?” gentayu said astonished.

As if responding to Gentayu, the dagger turned long. The blazing-looking flame changed shape once again after it extended, forming a dragon-like creature!

“Fire Dragon Sword?”

‘Zzzzzt..’

The dagger that turned into a sword shot into Gentayu's body. Gentayu to be thrown because he did not anticipate it. A huge surge of energy exploded within Gentayu's body.

Gentayu wailed in pain. That huge surge of energy pushed the strength of his body to its limit point. The barrier between the level of the earth warrior and the celestial swordsman that he was previously unable to break through has now been successfully broken!

Gentayu's energy level still continued to surge. The flame within his body rose to a peak. As if it were limitless. Muscles and cells of the Gentayu body seem to be forced by foreign forces to develop. Hot air began to radiate out from his body, startling the surrounding spectators.

A commotion began to arise among the spectators. Some people on the honor stage even began to notice the small commotion that was happening. But they don't know exactly what's going on.

As the heat expanded, the fight between the brewok men and Karangwangge stopped for a while. But not because of the heat. In fact, now everyone's eyes were directed at the corner behind the audience, the point where Gentayu was.

A pillar of fire light shot out into the sky.

When everyone's eyes looked up at the sky, following the end of the pillar of firelight, there was a huge head drawn. The head of a fire dragon!
