Night Eagle Swordsman

The Pangeran Pandu II Palace

Seeing three of his friends fall and some even faint, Nyi Sweet looked unconcerned. The condition of his friend was not seen once.

Nyi Sweet was more interested in his opponent. His eyes stared intently at Puguh's face.

"Heeehhh he he he he ... ! Great you're a soldier, too. I just saw this time there's a soldier as handsome as you !" said Nyi Sweet while laughing.

"Grandmother, what is your purpose in entering this palace without permission ?" ask Puguh.

"I actually want to kill someone ! But I'll say it, if you want to go with me ! He he he he he he .... !" answer Sweet Nyi.

Nyi Sweet does have a disorder. Ever since he was young, he had indeed been fond of looking for handsome young men.

After he used it as his lustful gratifier, the young man who became the victim of his lust, he used it for his ritual sacrifice.

Nyi Manis has a very heinous ritual habit. He periodically sacrificed the life of one young man for him to kill then he drank his blood while running his rituals. In each ritual, the energy in Nyi Manis increased.

"It looks like you're wrong to meet people, I'm going to arrest you !" puguh said slowly.

"Heeehhh he he he he ... ! You're a lowly soldier ! How did you catch me !" sweet Nyi replied while laughing mockingly.

Then, without waiting any more, Puguh darted quickly towards Nyi Sweet.

Still underestimating, thinking Puguh was an ordinary soldier, Nyi Manis fended off the coming of Puguh's punch. Beyond his expectations, the warrior's punch in front of him was able to make him push back a step and the second hit his shoulder.

Plaakk !

Buuuggghhh !

Feeling the pain on his shoulder, Nyi Sweet momentarily stopped with her eyes glaring at Puguh.

"Who are you really !" asked Nyi Sweet with a bit of a scream.

"I'm the guardian soldier of Prince Pandu's palace !" reply Puguh.

Hearing Puguh's reply, Nyi Sweet's little heart felt slightly relieved.

"Maybe I underestimated this warrior too much, so it became careless," muttered Sweet Nyi.

Then, seriously, Sweet Nyi put up her horse. A moment later, his body shot rapidly towards Puguh. In one attack, Nyi Manis had already done several tootokan with the tip of the stick.

Getting a quick attack from Nyi Sweet, Puguh immediately bounces upwards. However, like having eyes, the tip of Nyi Sweet's wand continued to chase in any direction Puguh dodged. Until when landing on the ground, Puguh immediately set his feet so that his body floated back up while his legs kick towards the shoulders and neck.

Wuuttt ! Wuuttt !

Two thin Puguh kicks passed over Nyi Sweet's head, as Nyi Sweet dodged.

Feeling able to escape his opponent's attack, Nyi Sweet attacked again. This time his staff was moved around which gave rise to roaring sounds.

Meanwhile, once landed on the ground, Puguh also immediately retracted his sword weapon to fend off the coming hit by the stick.

Sraaattt !

Taakkk !

In the clash of that weapon, Nyi Sweet's wand bounced back to the back. His right hand felt great. Even his wand had almost slipped out of his grasp.

"This young man is no ordinary soldier. Not even his broken sword clashed with my wand !" said Nyi Sweet.

Then by increasing the flow of his inner power, Nyi Manis tried to lock Puguh with tootokan tip of the stick from various directions with even faster movements.

Getting the attack, Puguh climbed Nyi Sweet's hand with a slash and a sword thrust.

Tak ! Tak ! Tak !

Traaakk ! Traaakk !

But like before, Nyi Sweet's staff always bounced back, every hit Puguh's sword. Making Nyi Sweet continue to move backwards to compensate for the thrust of his stick when it bounced.

Finally in just a few moves, Puguh could urge Nyi Sweet. Until at one time, Puguh's sword managed to make a scratch on Nyi Manis' chin followed by later, Puguh's left hand punch hit Nyi Manis' chest.

Sreeett !

Buggghh !

Exposed to the punch right on his chest, making Nyi Sweet thrown backwards up to several meters and then crashed on the ground.

Quickly, Nyi Sweet tried to get up again. After painstakingly standing up, Nyi Sweet felt her entire body ache. His chest was hot and his breathing heavy.

After standing upright, Nyi Sweet's left hand immediately reached into the pocket of her robe. Then quickly his left hand threw something in the form of black powder that spread towards Puguh.

After throwing the black powder, Sweet Nyi slightly approached towards Puguh as her black staff rotated with both hands.

From that fast-spinning stick, out a whirlwind that controlled the movement of the black powder and made the black powder turn into like black smoke and grow more and more concentrated.

After the smoke formed from the black powder enveloped Puguh until her body was not seen, Nyi Sweet stopped turning her staff. Then quickly his right hand threw something in the shape of a small black ball towards Puguh. Then, even Sweet Nyi shot up very quickly, leaving behind a fight. While running that fast, Nyi Sweet felt her chest getting hotter and her breathing getting congested. During the run, Nyi Sweet had vomited blood several times.

The black smoke quickly surrounded Puguh. In order to guard against any possibility, Puguh closed his breathing and increased the flow of profound energy throughout his body, while twisting his sword very quickly to dispel the black smoke. In addition, Puguh also felt the rush of small objects that glided very quickly towards him. By turning his sword, Puguh pulled the slide of a small object in the form of a black ball that made a clanging sound.

Triiinnnggg ! Triiinnnggg ! Triiinnnggg !

After some time, the black smoke slowly faded away in the wind, and then vanished without a trace.

However, Puguh did not see Sweet Nyi in front of him. Then, Puguh looked at the three opponents who had fainted and were lying on the ground.

Once near him, the three middle-aged men had all died with blackened foreheads and chests. As Puguh examined it, the three middle-aged men were hit by a black sphere containing poison.

"A poisoner again. How dangerous, if silat science accompanied the use of poisonous weapons," murmured Puguh.

Then, in addition to cleaning the place, Puguh also buried the three middle-aged men who had died.

By nightfall, Prince Pandu and Prince Panji, accompanied by several royal soldiers, arrived at their respective palaces.

Prince Pandu who was silent followed by Ki Dwijo and Rengganis, in the evening immediately invited Puguh and Ki Dwijo and Rengganis, to talk about the things they had experienced.

"Prince, it looks like someone is trying to kill the Prince, by sending out a real killer" Puguh said.

"Some times the attacks experienced by the Prince, have the same characteristics. They're armed with daggers. The possibility is also related to the attempt to kill the Prince" Ki Dwijo added.

During the meeting, Ki Dwijo advised Prince Pandu, to increase the number of royal soldiers and also invited a trusted swordsman to keep Prince Pandu safe.

"If asking for the addition of soldiers to guard this palace, it seems impossible, Ki Dwijo. In addition to Prabu's father who is sick, will also look strange and arouse suspicion, suddenly asking for the addition of soldiers. But if you invite a warrior, maybe you can. I leave it to Ki Dwijo, to find and contact the swordsman who is willing to be invited to cooperate," replied Prince Pandu.

Finally, it was decided that some plans would be made. Ki Dwijo will invite some of his best friends who are very trustworthy, to come to the palace of Prince Pandu.

Then Puguh will investigate into the palace of the Panji prince which looks more and more people arrive.
