Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

Meet Dyah Pawatu

Finally, inevitably, there were two high-level battles between Ki Jagad Dahana against Ki Ujang Galih and Ki Jagad Anila against Ki Buyut Jalu Wisesa.

Their fight was very tight, attacking each other, exchanging blows and kicks with the use of high levels of energy. The release of that high-level energy energy even caused a lot of damage in the area around the battleground.

After the fight went on for some time, up to fifty moves, their fight went fierce and balanced. This was because the speed and energy levels of the four of them turned out to be the same level.

But even so, Ki Ujang Galih and Ki Buyut Jalu Wisesa always invite energy, even to enter the hundredth stage. The clash of blows and kicks that contained high energy caused a loud sound.

Plaakk ! Plaakk !

Ouummm !!!

Blaaarrr ! Blaaarrr !

After passing the hundredth step, the two battles had not shown a sign of who would excel.

Until finally Ki Ujang Galih and Ki Buyut Jalu Wisesa changed their way of fighting. The two of them this time always avoid colliding blows or kicks. Even the two of them had not made an attack, but just continued to move dodging.

Sometimes they both attack. However, once Ki Jagad Dahana and Ki Jagad Anila fended off or complained of an attack, they did not come off and simply dodged.

"Heeii ! What are you planning ! You guys are trying to frame us again ?" asked Ki Jagad Dahana with a huff.

"He he he .... You guys want to find those two young guys ?" ki Buyut Jalu Wisesa.

"What are you doing to them !" yell Ki Jagad Anila.

"Defeat us first ! You will get the answer !" reply Ki Ujang Galih.

Hearing that, Ki Jagad Dahana and Ki Jagad Anila increased their energy and attack speed, as they were both very worried about the state of Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

After Ki Jagad Dahana and Ki Jagad Anila increase their energy and speed, Ki Ujang Galih and Ki Buyut Jalu Wisesa still always avoid even fending they never again.

After entering the two hundreds, suddenly something very surprising happened. Ki Jagad Dahana and Ki Jagad Anila drastically decreased their speed.

They both felt, their bodies especially both feet and both of their hands becoming heavy to move.

However, even though the movements of Ki Jagad Dahana and Ki Jagad Anila became slow, Ki Ujang Galih and Ki Buyut Jalu Wisesa still did not attack, they just waited.

"He he he .... Ki Ujang Galih, great great great ... finally your poison yielded results !" ki Buyut Jalu Wisesa.

"They're both incredible Ki Buyut. We need two hundred more steps, to make my homemade poison mixed with sulfur fumes work on their bodies" replied Ki Ujang Galih.

After some time, the bodies of Ki Jagad Dahana and Ki Jagad Anila became stiff and stopped moving, even their mouths were very difficult to move. Only their hearing was still normal as usual.

Seeing that his opponent was already helpless, Ki Buyut Jalu Wisesa and Ki Ujang Galih approached them.

"Don't be killed, Ki Buyut. We summarily and we take it to face Princess Dyah Pawatu. We are commanded to capture the living alive" replied Ki Ujang Galih.

Then they both took Ki Jagad Dahana and Ki Jagad Anila, then they darted away from the place while carrying the bodies of Ki Jagad Dahana and Ki Jagad Anila.

In the afternoon, after traveling for a full day, Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum almost approached the forest edge of Panjalu.

They both felt, not until the edge of the forest was thick with the demon air.

But for both of them, the existence of stealth will not be able to disturb them, especially for Lintang Rahina, who can now burn and destroy demons with the technique 'Puspa Nagari' or 'Bramaseta' technique'.

Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum plan to wait for the next morning while resting in an area close to the edge of the Panjalu forest. When they arrived they were visited by a young woman who was very beautiful and dressed like a royal princess with a dress color dominated by black and yellow. The beautiful woman was accompanied by a young man dressed in simple black.

"Gentlemen, looking at the way you dress, it seems that you are from the eastern quarter of Jawadwipa," said the beautiful woman who had just arrived.

"Mbakyu is right, we are from the southern coastal region, precisely Parangtritis area," replied Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

"It just so happens. My name is Princess. I'm going to ask you both for help, will you two help us ?" ask the beautiful woman who claimed to be named Princess.

"What are you going to ask us for help ?" ask Sekar Ayu Ningrum again.

"Our area is often plagued by stealthy demons coming from the forest in front of it. We would like, you two to expel or exterminate that stealth demon, so as not to bother us anymore" replied the Princess.

"Alright mbakyu, it happens that we will also enter the forest," said Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

"Thank you for your willingness to help us" said the Princess again, "May you succeed. We'll wait for word from you both."

Then the Princess and the young man who accompanied her went towards them came earlier.

"Kakar Lintang, kakang remember the story of Ki Jagad Dahana, before we left for the forest Panjalu ?" ask Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

Lintang Rahina nodded and then said, "Is he the Dyah Pawatu told, a ruler in a region in the Platah Pasundan ?"

"But I can't feel the vibrations of his energy at all. Though reportedly the ruler named Dyah Pawatu is very powerful and cruel. But she looked gentle and kind" replied Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

"If indeed he is Dyah Pawatu, the ruler of a region in the Platah Pasundan, we must be vigilant and very careful. It means he is very powerful, because we cannot feel his energy level" said Lintang Rahina.

Later, Lintang Rahina and Sekar Ayu Ningrum rested in that place, an area close to the forest area of Panjalu. They deliberately did not stop and spend the night on the edge of the forest Panjalu, to avoid the emergence of a problem.

During the rest, they both felt calm because they did not get any interference. Only sometimes did they feel that there was a stealth energy approaching where they rested for a while then left again. It was as if the demon was just passing by, or looking at them. Without feeling, the morning came back.
