KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Vi Tour

From behind the flying dust that began to thin, the figure of Tunggulwaru rose.

The man looks so messy. His face was no longer visible because his skin was covered in dust. Only his eyes and teeth were visible, even when grimacing. His hair was brown, completely due to dust.

Aside from the corner of his lips, there was no blood dripping. No scratch wounds. Her outer body looks fine.

Tunggulwaru momentarily turned his head towards the honor stage that looked empty. There was only the king and his family and his strongest guards. His eyes were fixed towards Manik Baya.

‘It must be that man who controls this statue! What a troublesome magic his inner’ while taking a deep breath and exhaling it violently. There's a sense of annoyance in it.

“I will crush you into dust crumbs!” Tunggulwaru shouted out loudly while darting towards the statue's head. Intending to crush him with his strongest blow.

But unexpectedly, when the punch of his super-large-powered hand and coated in a large amount of daht energy was unleashed, the statue was able to dodge it very easily.

The speed of the statue dodged even faster than the blink of an eye because the head movement was barely visible.

The blow that Tunggulwaru released that escaped hit the parachute wall and knocked it down.

‘Bruggh.!’

A loud voice rang out as the parapet shattered.

The spectators who initially felt their position had been safe then started running away. The distance of the wall with the statue is quite far. Over three hundreds of meters, showing just how powerful the attack was.

Tunggulwaru could not believe that the punch released with full force and high confidence could be avoided by the gigantic statue without any difficulty.

He wanted to turn his head back to the stage to see what Manik Baya was doing, but the next attack from the giant statue was seen targeting him.

The stump can sense in time by darting away as the hands of a giant rock dart towards it in a clenched position.

But, again unexpectedly, even though he had managed to avoid being hit by the hand of the statue, the great energy that accompanied the attack of the statue still affected him.

Tunggulwaru's mistake this time was not having time to prepare any shield, so the energy of the statue's attack hit him once again even though the statue's physical hand had passed through it.

Tunggulwaru was able to survive the impact of the attack. He was only five steps back even though his body had decisively received the attack.

The next attack flew back towards him. This time the attack came from above his head. The statue's fist smashed out like a sledgehammer about to break apart the rock beneath.

Tunggulwaru understood, fending off the attack could be fatal. So he moved very quickly throw his body to the left, approaching the chest of the statue.

Thinking that he had found an opening to hit the target, Tunggulwaru once again punched out a final blow using all of his remaining daht energy.

For him it was a life and death fight. The speed at which this statue moved was incompatible with its physical size. Usually, those with large fissures will be slow in moving. In fact, this does not apply to the ancestral statue of king Jayadilaga.

This statue is nimble. Even more agile than the average celestial swordsman.

‘BAMM!!’

‘BAMM!!’

Twice explosions were heard as Tunggulwaru thrust two consecutive blows into the chest of the giant statue.

What happened, Tunggulwaru's body crashed backwards once again. This time, blood splattered all along the trajectory of his body that landed on the ground, not far from the stage of honor.

The chest of the statue that received the full attack from the Tunggulwaru was only a little gompel. The stone ruins of the statue fell downwards. Not far from the position of Gentayu kneeling half-standing.

The young man from Lamahtang had not yet moved from that place. Even his eyes were still closed like the last moment the flame light that formed the pillar of light disappeared.

As for Tunggulwaru himself, it was difficult to stand up after his collision with the body of the statue that caused him to crash and end up under the stage of honor.

Once he managed to get up with a trembling body as all of his strength had been unleashed on his ultimate attack just now, Tunggulwaru once again turned his head towards the seat of Manik Baya who was looking at him casually looking at him furrowing both of his eyebrows, turning his head once again, it was as if questioning the reason Tunggul Waru stared fully in search.

The giant statue was indeed controlled as everyone thought. But other than the King and Princess Cedrawani and Manik Baya themselves, no one knows that the statue was moved by the order of Princess Cendrawani's mind completely.

In fact, the princess of Cendrawani with her mind is able to give special abilities according to her wishes to the statue. All of that was told by Manik Baya through a whisper to Cendrawani before the competition began. That is the reason Manik Baya asked Patih Mangkubumi to start the competition only after the princess was ready.

The guard against the princess was even stricter than the current king. Because the King was worried, when this secret was known to one of the participants, his supporters would do something in their favor against princess Cendrawani.

But again, this increased security against Cendrawani escaped the observation of others other than the king and the core guards who carried it out.

Tunggulwaru was about to step back into the square that became the arena. But his steps faltered. His body cannot be forced.

The relatively short fight against the giant statue was truly draining his born and inner energy. Finally, without being prevented, he fell.

With a heavy heart, he raised both hands. Surrender.

After all, Tunggulwaru was the head of the bodyguard.

The safety of the Loh Jati delegation including the duke's son was very dependent on him.

He wanted to bring honor to Loh Jati, but he could not sacrifice his life for it at this time because the Duke and his family needed him more to stay alive despite the failure.

After this, he also had to prepare himself to face the envoy of the Oceanic Tribe. Because he had killed the chief's son before. It seemed, the conflict involving him would continue after the competition was over.

Patih Mangkubumi immediately stood back up. Seeing Tunggulwaru give up, the old man thought that the competition had finished with none of the participants who had made it through the challenge.

“Your Majesty, the messengers, and the people of Giri Kencana. By pleading with the Supreme Being Single, and for the glory of the glorious throne prabu Jayadilaga, the matchmaking competition of Princess Cendrawani was declared complete.

Some of the dignitaries of Giri Kencana behind the king and patih Mangkubumi had already begun clapping with a sumringah smile, as the voice of the king broke the fanfare.

“Wait first! There is still one participant left and have not given up!” Said the king while pointing towards Gentayu who was still kneeling half-standing, in the middle of the arena. In another corner of the Tunggulwaru fight against a giant statue.

Everyone's attention is now directed back to Gentayu.

The audience confirmed that the young man had not previously declared himself to surrender.

From one corner of the square ledge, Karangwangge wanted to shout saying that Gentayu had previously stated before him that he was withdrawing from the competition.

But considering his revenge for being burned because it was hit by Gentayu has not disappeared, he chose to silence while hoping Gentayu died against the giant statue.

He did not bother at all with his navel dagger that did not return. The crown prince Mangkalayang smiled mockingly.

‘No need for me to kill you! I told you, no one gets away with it after hurting me! In fact, even the man brewok not!’ his vow is in the heart.
