Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

Arrests of Sekar Ayu Ningrum, Ki Sardulo and Nyi Wilis III

Ki Jiwo went straight into battle and told Arga Manika and Galuh Pramusita to retreat. Especially seeing that they both had been injured.

Seeing Ki Jiwo facing Sekar Ayu Ningrum, Ki Brata approached his student and Arga Manika to help treat him.

Ki Brata took out a medicinal herb that could stop the blood from coming out on the wound.

Then Ki Brata channeled his energy in turn, to help heal, worried that the two of them were getting deep wounds.

Meanwhile, Ki Jiwo immediately got an attack from Sekar Ayu Ningrum in a tubed manner.

Puncture attacks and sword slashes, plus condensed energy slashes, were carried out by Sekar Ayu Ningrum in a short time.

Ki Jiwo who was surprised by the speed of motion Sekar Ayu Ningrum, tried to dodge. Losing in terms of speed, Ki Jiwo who tried to always avoid, finally forced to fend off with his spear.

Tranggg !!!

Both are equally pushed back.

Sekar Ayu Ningrum again prepared to attack. While Ki Jiwo with trembling hands back put his horse that had wavered due to being pushed back earlier.

"This girl has energy that is able to compensate me," Ki Jiwo said in his heart, "If the information from 'Telik Sandi' is correct, this child is the grandson of Ki Ageng Arisboyo, who is the son of the child, how strong Ki Ageng Arisboyo is now."

Ki Brata approached the battleground as Sekar Ayu Ningrum prepared to attack.

Seeing Ki Brata already approaching the battle arena, Ki Jiwo invited Ki Brata to gang up on his opponent. Because Ki Jiwo felt, it would be difficult and long to defeat his opponent's young girl.

"Let's finish this task quickly Ki," Ki Jiwo asked Ki Brata.

Because Ki Brata already understood the meaning of Ki Jiwo's invitation, then Ki Brata immediately prepared to enter the battle.

Although still young and not much experience in fighting, Sekar Ayu Ningrum did not hesitate in the least despite being gangred by two senior figures.

The fight happened again. This time Sekar Ayu Ningrum faced two opponents who were very experienced in facing various battles.

Sekar Ayu Ningrum darted forward with the sword on the right side and the left hand in front of the chest. It only took a moment, Sekar Ayu Ningrum arrived already in front of Ki Brata and prepared to do a sword slash.

Ki Brata who gasped at the speed of Sekar Ayu Ningrum, dodged the sword slash by shaking his body to the left of the back with his left foot backward. Then his left palm fended off the blow of Sekar Ayu Ningrum's left hand which arrived coming after his sword was not targeted.

Plakkk !!!

Sekar Ayu Ningrum bounced backwards with a hovering position of several meters and then landed with the horse ready to attack.

While Ki Brata lined up backwards until staggered a few steps with a left hand that felt pained.

K Brata and Ki Jiwo who feel they will not win if they continue to pit their strength and speed, finally work together to avoid and protect each other.

Each Sekar moves to attack Ki Jiwo, Ki Brata immediately performs an attack to break Sekar Ayu Ningrum's concentration.

Likewise, on the contrary, if Sekar Ayu Ningrum was about to attack Ki Brata, Ki Jiwo accompanied also with an attack.

This went on for more than fifty steps.

Ki Jiwo and Ki Rekso always dodged and never again faced attacks with a tank. They both did deliberately do that to drain the energy of Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

After the battle took place, the speed and energy of Sekar Ayu Ningrum began to decrease.

Actually Sekar Ayu Ningrum can recover his energy that is reduced by the natural energy absorption techniques around him. But because it always attacks and survives continuous attacks without any pause, making Sekar Ayu Ningrum no opportunity to do breathing exercises to absorb natural energy.

Until one day, due to the energy that had decreased drastically, Sekar Agayu Ningrum was late in dodging, so he was forced to fend off the coming of the spear attack that made his sword slip and his body staggered backward.

Tranggg !!!

Followed by Ki Brata's punch attack that had been nearby when his horse faltered and his energy reduced a lot, making Ki Brata's right palm hit his left waist.

Bugs !!!

Sekar Ayu Ningrum fell in the position of both knees on the ground.

Not yet had time to stand, came another spear stab from Ki Jiwo. There was no other choice, Sekar Ayu Ningrum resisted the spear attack by capturing the base of the spear eyes with both hands.

Sekar Ayu Ningrum was pushed backwards in a kneeling position.

The deesss !!!

Sekar Ayu NIngrum suddenly felt the dark look in his eyes and then did not remember what, when Ki Brata's right palm hit his nape.

Sekar Ayu Ningrum Falling on the ground.

The long and exhausting battle was over.

With a somewhat hunting breath, Ki Brata approached Sekar Ayu Ningrum's body and turned Sekar Ayu Ningrum's body over with his feet to make sure his opponent had completely fainted.

Gasping for breath, Ki Brata said, "Galuh, tie the girl up. And we'll get him out of here."

"Good teacher," replied Sekar Ayu Ningrum.

After Galuh Pramusita finished tying Sekar Ayu Ningrum's body, the four people immediately darted away carrying Sekar Ayu Ningrum who was still unconscious.

A moment later, the place that had been filled with the frenzy of battle, became silent again. Only the sound of grass and leaves rubbing against each other because of the wind. Sometimes interrupted by the sound of ripples of calm flowing river water.

Ki Penahun was packing to travel in search of Lintang Rahina when suddenly his heart shook and his mind felt a signal of danger.

"Ki Sardulo," said Ki Penahun cirih, "what happened to you ? Why don't I feel the latitude signal?"

Ki Penahun sped up his pack and then darted fast like flying towards the last direction Ki Sardulo's energy was felt.

During the trip home to Parangtritis, Ki Ageng Arisboyo felt restless. In addition to thinking about what the group of Ki Rekso would do, also thought about the whereabouts of Sekar Ayu Ningrum his grandson.

Ki Ageng Arisboyo arrived in a forest near Kotagedhe.

Suddenly Ki Ageng Arisboyo felt three huge energies darting towards him. Ki Ageng Arisboyo is waiting.

No matter how long the three parents who stood in front of him made Ki Ageng Arisboyo's heart very surprised.

"He he he he.... long time no see Ki Ageng," said Ki Rekso while laughing, "why are you surprised to meet us ? Was it so happy that you were surprised?"

The three people who came to Ki Ageng Arisboyo were Ki Rekso, Ki Pratanda and Ki Kawungka.
