KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

The VII competition

It took more than ten minutes before Gentayu suddenly got up from his kneeling position. The young man is seen rising with the help of a keris that is plugged into the ground as a pedestal.

Most of the spectators at that time had started to leave the square because they were tired of waiting.

In fact, some of the participants and their entourage have said goodbye to Jayadilaga to return to their respective places.

When Gentayu got up, some people thought that even if he went ahead and fought against the giant statue for the sake of the ring, he would not last longer than Tunggulwaru. Indeed, the power Gentayu exuded looked weaker than that of the Loh Jati duke's son.

“In fact, to rise up he must be helped and supported on his keris. It's a pity..” chirps a spectator to his colleague. Just turned his head for a moment, yet continued to pass away from the plaza.

“Yes, it looks like once hit he's about to collapse. Even against the young man from Loh Jati that alone he was helpless.” said the colleague next to him. Not taking interest at all.

Another voice sounded.

“But, perhaps because it was able to bring out the figure of the fire dragon earlier, the statue will submit! Isn't the fire dragon one of the god's mount animals?”

Various comments glided from the mouths of the spectators and some nobles. On average they doubt Gentayu will be able to survive if they have to fight.

The spectators who had originally begun to disperse only turned their heads for a moment towards Gentayu before it still passed. They were no longer interested in watching Gentayu fight.

When he got up, Gentayu's eyes were still in a closed condition. But no one really noticed him at the time.

His stomach wound had recovered, closing perfectly like it had never been injured before. Only her clothes were full of dried blood spots which showed that she had indeed been injured before .

After reaching the level of a celestial swordsman, a swordsman would indeed experience an increase in regeneration in his body's cells. That was why, after being severely injured, the chances of survival of warriors at the level of celestial warriors would be greater than when they were still at the level of earth warriors.

But Gentayu did not immediately stand up to attack as the people suspected.

He turned his head towards the stage of honor, his eyes opened with a flash of fire within. Staring at princess Cendrawani from a distance.

Then his gaze was fixed on Manik Baya, the bald old man who dragged him so far in the competition.

Instead of attacking, the wooden actually stepped away from the square. The young man was still not interested in following the contest. After all, the goal is to get out of the Gola Ijo cave just to get the boost to break through the Sky Warrior level. And, he has managed to do it.

“Rigger boy! Where you going? Aren't you interested in beautiful women at all? Not interested in becoming stronger? With royal treasures, you can reach the peak of strength without any difficulty!”

A voice echoed in Gentayu's ears. She's looking. There's no one. It seemed, only he could hear that voice. That's Manik Baya's cry.

“I can reach it without having to be bound by many rules of palace life!” he answered and passed.

“Alaaaaah..just say you're afraid to fight that stone statue! You're weak! Weepy! Impotent, it's worth it that you're not interested in beautiful women!” The sound of swearing is heard. Gentayu's ears became red hearing it.

Gentayu refrained from replying to Manik Baya who had sworn him over telepathy. The young man turned around with a dead red face. He stuck it once more to the ground.

“I'll fight!”

Gentayu stomped his feet to the ground. Keris Mpu Jangkung on the ground vibrates. Illusionary energy immediately spread from the blade of the keris and encompassed the entire square.

Keris Mpu Jangkung does have the power of mind manipulation and forming illusions. Gentayu deliberately used the opportunity in this competition to test the true ability of the kris.

Others will see Gentayu turn into ten people. Even Prabu Jayadilaga is like that.

Only Manik Baya was not affected at all. Smiling proudly, it was also satisfied that it managed to heat up the young man easily.

“Young blood is indeed tumultuous. It only needs a little burning so that the flame can illuminate the night.”

Gentayu was walking towards the stage, towards Cendrawani's daughter who was busy controlling her statue to face the ten bodies of the illusion Gentayu. His face looked even more tense than when facing Tunggulwaru.

Even if only using his mind, but princess Cendrawani looks serious and too focused to not realize Gentayu approaching him.

In addition to making the illusion of dividing his body into ten, Gentayu also disguised his original body so as not to be destroyed when the trick was solved. That is why, no one saw her approaching the princess cendrawani.

Ten Gentayu figures fought fiercely against the giant statue. The sound of loud explosions was heard many times in a time lag of less than three seconds each explosion.

The people who had originally underestimated Gentayu began to enthusiastically watch the course of Gentayu's ten fight against the giant statue.

Many times the Gentayu bodies were bounced, exploded, crushed. However every time their bodies were destroyed, another Gentayu-Gentayu would immediately appear with undiminished strength.

One of Gentayu's newly resurfaced bodies after being crushed was slammed away when the giant fist slammed into his body. However, one of Gentayu's other bodies quickly darted over the head of the giant statue trying to reach the ring above its crown.

As happened with Tunggulwaru, Gentayu's body this one also bounced into the air. Apparently, the head of the statue was shrouded in barrier energy with very strong hempas power.

Cendrawani had to divide his focus into three places. Three of the ten Gentayu bodies moved to attack the foot of the giant statue. The other three tried to destroy the abdomen and the remaining four were still fighting to attack the head, trying to seize the ring Sayembara.

Suddenly, the statue looked uncontrollable. The movement is getting stiff. And more attacks from Gentayu that managed to land on the body of the statue.

On the side of the stage, Gentayu who had requested permission by signal to Manik Baya had successfully launched his action as planned. Gentayu's plan was simple, surprising the princess with her appearance so that she would lose control of her statue for a moment.

Sure enough, Gentayu who suddenly appeared and his face was within a distance of only ten centimeters from Cendrawani successfully messed with Cendrawani's control of the statue.

Almost prabu Jayadilaga's favorite daughter fell if Gentayu did not stop the seat he occupied.

Meanwhile, just when the moment occurred, one of Gentayu's bodies trying to seize the ring managed to break through the energy shield at the crown that protects the ring of competition.

Gentayu's body was instantly crushed into smoke, but the ring was saved by another giantayu body. Then, another new Gentayu body emerged replacing the body that was destroyed just now.

When the princess regained her control from the shock, Gentayu had held Cendrawani's right arm and placed the ring that one of her illusory bodies had taken on her palm.

Of course Cendrawani was very shocked when he saw the ring that a second ago seized one of the ten bodies of Gentayu up there was now in the palm of his own hand.

The beautiful girl could not say even if she just wanted to curse Gentayu who surprised her. Gawking. It was as if his consciousness was leaving his body.

Along with the ring placed on the palm of Cendrawani, the ten Gentayu bodies around the giant statue vanished into smoke.

Gentayu had won the contest unharmed.
