The large and long table contained many rows of chairs. Only Princess Mahatariti and two middle-aged men and women. While the members of the Langking Jaladara Association who were in this region, stood near the wall of the room, surrounded the large table.
Princess Mahatariti immediately advanced closer to Puguh and invited Puguh to sit nearby. But Puguh chose to sit in front of the three of them to make their seats face to face.
He felt an extremely strong tremor of power coming out from the three of them, especially from the middle-aged man sitting in the middle.
A moment of silence, until then Princess Mahatariti broke the silence.
"Thank you, both of you have fulfilled our invitation" said Princess Mahatariti.
Then Princess Mahatariti introduced herself and the two middle-aged people beside her.
It turns out that they are the parents of Princess Mahatariti named Dharma Shankara.
"Young people, we've introduced ourselves, if you may know, who are you ?" dharma Shankara asked as she continued to stare intently at Puguh.
"This young man harbors a very extraordinary power. It is fitting for my son to treat him with a special invitation" Dharma Shankara said in his heart.
"My name is Puguh and this is my friend Rengganis. We are only travelers who come from the Duchy of Langitan," replied Puguh.
"All right, young man. At my son's request, I offer you to join the Langking Jaladara Society. With your level of strength and silat, you will get a high position in the Association," Dharma Shankara said.
"Sorry uncle, we're not used to being tied down. We had to refuse uncle's offer" replied Puguh.
Hearing that answer, Dharma Shankara immediately stood up with his right hand pounding the table.
Braaakkk !
"With what reason do you reject the glory which we are bound ! If you can't give us a reason that we can accept, you'll accept the consequences !" shankara Dharma Shouts.
"Sorry, we gave you a reason. We are used to living freely to determine our own destiny. So, we will not be able to live under the rules of the Society" Puguh explained.
"I wonder if you are indeed capable of rejecting my offer !" dharma Shankara said loudly.
Then Dharma Shankara ordered the core members of the Langking Jaladara Association who were there to capture Puguh and Rengganis.
Puguh and Rengganis were immediately surrounded by six middle-aged people when they had just stood up from their seats.
Instantly, in the vast central space was a fight. The six middle-aged people immediately surrounded Puguh and Rengganis who stood their backs to each other.
Dharma Shankara had deliberately told the six middle-aged people to go straight ahead all facing Puguh. Because Dharma Shankara felt a huge vibration of Puguh power, so faced with two or three middle-aged people, Puguh would still not be unstoppable.
"Rengganis sister, periodically we will rotate to change places. That way, they will be confused about setting an attack target. Focus on facing two people. Others let the legs take care of," whispered Puguh quietly.
"Okay," replied Rengganis.
When the six men began to attack, Puguh confronted their attacks with the Sewu Tepak style.
Played by Puguh, with a level of speed and a level of deep power that is already very high, Tapak Sewu's style is increasing its efficacy.
Plaque plaque plaque !
Plaque plaque plaque !
Seeing that his six men had been hit in just a few moves, Dharma Shankara ordered all six of his men to use weapons.
The six middle-aged men immediately took out their machete weapons. Then they went back to the attack.
Seeing all his opponents using weapons, Rengganis immediately pulled out his sword which he rarely used. Because in fact, the mainstay of science Rengganis is the science of empty-handed punch. But by Ki Bajraseta his grandfather, Rengganis was also equipped with silat using sword weapons, whose jurus style was taken from Ki Bajraseta's stick science style.
Because it is not a pure sword style, making Rengganis sword movement movements looks unique but dangerous, because it becomes difficult to guess the direction and nature of the attack.
This makes Rengganis in only ten moves has managed to give injuries to two opponents.
While Puguh who has changed using the style of Bantala Wreksa, which in addition to very fast cracks, also makes both hands Puguh able to fend off sharp weapons used by opponents whose level of power is below.
In every clash of the machete weapon with the Puguh arm, making the machete weapon his opponent always bounced back and also make a sound as if the machete hit the stone.
Crak crak ! Crak crak crak !
Due to Puguh's speed of movement that could not be offset by his opponent, making the six middle-aged men briefly thrown backwards with a punch wound on the chest or abdomen. Some even suffered cuts to the Rengganis sword.
Seeing all his men who were there all lost, Dharma Shankara was very amazed by Puguh's ability. But it also made him angry, because he had a situation that made him have to intervene on his own.
Murkanya Dharma Shankara was actually, because his men who were stronger than the six middle-aged men were all on duty elsewhere.
While his son, Putri Mahatariti could not he tell against Puguh. Because of his arrival to the Duchy of Randu Beteng was also at the request of his son Princess Mahatariti.
Actually, when meeting with Puguh at a kemaren food stall, Putri Mahatariti immediately felt interested in Puguh. Princess Mahatariti is eager, Puguh can be on his side, close to him and can get to know him better. Because, when clashing yesterday, Princess Mahatariti was amazed by the power of Puguh, amazed by the level of power in Puguh and speed. Because in her heart, Princess Mahatariti wants to be married only by the man who defeated her and has a level of canuragan science on it. So Putri Mahatariti willing to sacrifice to release Jalu and his brother from Puguh willing to be his guest, and hope Puguh would help him and cooperate with him.
And unlike usual, whose invited guests consisted of several warriors, this time Puguh was only alone, there were no other warriors with him and was immediately met by his parents.
" Haaahhhhh ... young man ! Now I'm the one who's your opponent !" dharma Shankara shouted while expending his inner energy, giving rise to a huge vibration of power.
Dharma Shankara walked slowly from her chair. Every step he took, brought pressure on his surroundings.
Arriving in front of Puguh, Dharma Shankara increased his inner energy flow and then made waves of deep energy vibrations that spread around him stand up.
Meanwhile, as soon as he felt a wave of extremely powerful energy vibrations, Puguh asked Rengganis to stay away a little.
"Dik, this one let kakang face, sister Rengganis stay away first," said Puguh slowly to Rengganis.
Just smiling and without answering, the Rengganis moved away from the fighting scene.
