Strength Outside The Keraton Wall
Entering the Crater of Volcano II
Simultaneously, outside the crater of the volcano, Sekar Ayu Ningrum stood on the edge of the crater, waiting for Lintang Rahina. When his attention was fixed on the surface of the crater, his ears heard the sound of whipping.
Ctaaarrr ! Ctaaarrr ! Ctaaarrr !
Sekar Ayu Ningrum quickly looked towards the coming of the whip.
It is seen a dwarf man walking with his right hand holding a whip whose tip is burning red smoldering shaped like an arrow's eye.
While his left hand holds a rope that is jet black, the other end is tied around the neck of a dwarf man who is very old and his body is very thin and dirty.
"Come fast ! Turn all those buildings over !" shouted the dwarf man who carried the whip.
The man tied to his neck was silent and staring at the dwarf man carrying the whip.
Then, the dwarf chained to his neck moved both of his hands in a certain pattern of movement. A moment later, from both of his palms, came out a string of fibers that spread throughout the mainland of Liliputan Island and then poured into the ground.
A moment later, the entire ground surface of the island shook violently. Then, all the buildings that had been flipped into the ground, turned back and appeared again to the surface.
After everything came back to the surface, the dwarf man holding the whip again gave the order while ringing his whip.
Ctaaarrr ! Ctaaarrr !
"Now everybody get out and clean up the place. If anyone defies, I'll kill him !" shouted the man who was holding the whip while pointing at the dwarf man who was chained to his neck.
Then, from inside the building, there came out a lot of dwarf humans who quickly cleaned all the dirty and damaged places.
Just like the dwarf man who was chained to his neck, the dwarf who came out of the building that appeared again was all thin and dirty. But what looks a bit strange is, a dwarf man whose neck is chained and all the dwarves who come out of the building that reappears, even though his body is thin and dirty, but his skin looks white.
Sekar Ayu Ningrum who saw it all, immediately approached them.
"Why did you torture your fellow nation ?" sekar Ayu Ningrum asked the dwarf man who carried the whip.
"It's none of your business ! Because they are our captives !" hardik the dwarf man who carries the whip.
"Keep out of here !" he snapped again while directing his whip to Sekar Ayu Ningrum's body.
Ctaaarrr ! Ctaaarrr !
"Human squeals !" sekar shouted Ayu Ningrum while dodging from the end of the whip that was pointing towards his body.
Sekar Ayu Ningrum was deliberately evasive from the attack to learn first the power of the whip whose red tip was smoldering.
The moment Sekar Ayu Ningrum saw, the tip of the whip also let out a small spark like lightning.
"That whip seemed to absorb energy !" sekar Ayu Ningrum said in his heart.
"I'll try by giving it a little energy," muttered Sekar Ayu Ningrum as his body shot towards the right hand of the dwarf man holding the whip.
When the dwarf man stomped his whip towards him, Sekar Ayu Ningrum immediately blocked the tip of the whip with his right palm.
The clashing of the palm and the tip of the whip containing the energy caused quite a loud explosion.
Duaaarrr !
Due to using only a little energy, Sekar Ayu Ningrum felt his right palm go numb and his energy was like being absorbed by the tip of the whip.
"I'll try to give you enough energy !" muttered Sekar Ayu Ningrum while moving again. His body shot back towards the dwarf man holding the whip. Streams of energy throughout his body, especially to his right hand surged drastically.
Simultaneously, the man holding the whip felt his attack was successful.
Then with a slight bouncy, the dwarf man again released a screech towards Sekar Ayu Ningrum confidently.
Sekar Ayu Ningrum did not directly fend off the whip attack, but several times dodged to learn the situation. It makes the dwarf man have to release the whip repeatedly.
Ctaaarrr ! Ctaaarrr ! Ctaaarrr !
"So it looks like his technique is harnessing his power !" muttered Sekar Ayu Ningrum again, after being able to find the technique used by the dwarf man.
Then, as the dwarf man again launched his whip attack, Sekar Ayu Ningrum immediately shot out at a speed never seen before by the dwarf man. With his high speed, Sekar Ayu Ningrum moved around towards the right of the dwarf man, to then quickly reverse his body, hovering following the direction of the movement of the tip of the whip.
In just a few moments, Sekar Ayu Ningrum was already very close to the tip of the whip that gave off a smoldering red flame.
Then, by channeling a considerable amount of energy, Sekar Ayu Ningrum caught the end of the whip with his right hand.
Blaannnggg !!!
In the explosion due to that clash of energies, the dwarf human body that carried the whip was thrown away due to the energy that turned to its body.
The dwarf human body was slammed into the ground several times. For a moment the dwarf man was just lying. The whip slipped from the handle.
Then slowly, the dwarf moved, then woke up sitting with a stingy breath. A moment felt his chest felt tight and very cold. A moment later, the human vomited fresh blood several times.
After he stopped spewing fresh blood, a swab of still flowing blood drenched his shirt with his right arm. However, how shocked the dwarf man was, upon seeing his palm crumble and turn blue. So shocked that finally the dwarf fainted.
It was caused by the cold nature of the Sekar Ayu Ningrum energy.
Seeing his opponent faint, Sekar Ayu Ningrum took the whip that had been used as a weapon by the dwarf man.
Observing that weapon. A very unique weapon. Made from the tendrils of marine animals that live on the ocean floor.
As Sekar Ayu Ningrum stared at the whip, there came a voice behind him.
"Young girl, please save that weapon first. And please release the man who was imprisoned underground in the building" said the dwarf, whose neck was tied with a large chain.
With the dwarf man chained to his neck as a placeholder, Sekar Ayu Ningrum opened the door of the building used to imprison them.
After all those imprisoned were released, the dwarf man whose neck was chained asked Sekar Ayu Ningrum for help to open the chain that tied his neck.
By flowing his energy into the chains that tied the dwarf man's neck, until it became extremely cold, Sekar Ayu Ningrum destroyed the chains that tied the dwarf man's neck.
After his neck was freed from the chain, the dwarf invited Sekar Ayu Ningrum to talk in one of the temple building-like buildings in Jawadwipa country.
To Sekar Ayu Ningrum, the dwarf man who had been chained to his neck told him, if he was actually a king in the Kingdom of Liliputan.
When he became the king of Liliputan Kingdom, their kingdom had never dealt with the Invisibility Kingdom in the southern waters, the kingdom led by Dragon Queen Wilis Kencana.
His position as king of Liliputan Kingdom was forcibly taken by his own brother by persuading his personal bodyguard to take his whip weapon. He and all his loyal followers were thrown into prison.
After the power was held by his sister, Liliputan Kingdom began to interfere with the Invisibility Kingdom ruled by Dragon Queen Wilis Kencana. In addition, in holding power, his sister was cruel.
"Then, what's your next plan, young girl ?" ask the dwarf man.
"Actually my husband and I came to this island, to meet with the king of Liliputan Kingdom, to ask, why the Kingdom of Liliputan is disturbing the Invisibility Kingdom led by Dragon Queen Wilis Kencana.
I was waiting and watching near the crater rim. Because my husband went into the crater to chase after the dwarf man who attacked us. Until I finally heard the sound of the whip fluttering a few times," replied Sekar Ayu Ningrum.
"So, your husband may have entered the underground city, where the palace of Liliputan Kingdom is located," said the dwarf again.
"Young girl, how about we work together ?" ask the dwarf man again.
"What cooperation do you mean ?" ask Sekar Ayu Ningrum.
"Actually not cooperation, but rather we ask for help. Please help us to defeat them," the dwarf replied as he pleaded.
"Where are your senopaths ? Is there nothing in the company that was set free ?" ask Sekar Ayu Ningrum.
"They are just my loyal followers' children and families. While the Senopati and soldiers loyal to me, made workers in the room under the crater and in strict guard. There are some who have been killed," replied the dwarf who was once the king in the Kingdom of Liliputan, as his eyes looked far ahead and glazed.
Then, the dwarf man recounted, if the one-stemmed whip he put in store by Sekar Ayu Ningrum, is actually an heirloom object that was once placed at the top of the palace building.
While at the top of the palace building, the tip of the whip that is absorbing that energy, absorbs energy from within the crater of the volcano. From the absorbed energy, the kingdom can divide and provide energy and life to all citizens of Liliputan Kingdom.
While the five-stemmed whip, carried by the present king, if he could not use it, would be a very dangerous weapon. Because it must be a person who has a very high energy level, who is able to control the stemmed canbuk.
His younger brother, who now occupies the position of king, snatches it from him, steals a five-stemmed whip and uses it as a weapon. If you are unable to master the energy in the five-stroke whip, you will be affected by the energy of the five-stroke whip that will make your nature multiply. If the one who holds the five-stemmed whip weapon is evil, then the holder of the whip weapon will be even more evil.
"Now what should we do ?" ask Sekar Ayu Ningrum.
"Let's get into the underground city where the Liliputan humans live. I'm afraid your husband will have them trapped, so they can catch him !" take the dwarf man, the original king of Liliputan Kingdom.
Then, accompanied by Sekar Ayu Ningrum and some of his followers who have knowledge and high energy, which is quite high, the original king of Liliputan Kingdom began to move into the underground city through the gate at the bottom of the crater.
