The Blue Swordsman

The Black Sword

The stealth forces that attacked the current Angkara city fort appear to have almost entirely disappeared. Most have been killed and exterminated by Rajendra along with the two Atmik while a small portion of the rest have chosen to flee the battlefield.

Now in the war left only two figures who are still fighting. Patih Pramana who led and carried out the rebellion faced Rajendra who came to thwart the efforts of the Patih to control the city of Angkara. Rajendra, who had just received a blow, had now risen and advanced again to face Patih Pramana. The two are now back facing each other, putting on horses and clashing gazes. They seemed to be silent at each other trying to find an opportunity to open an attack.

In a one-on-one fight, it is clear to a Swordsman that it is something more difficult than even war. In a war one will still have time to pause and rely on others to fight for him but in a one-on-one fight there is no chance of pause for either party. They can only rely on their own strength even when opportunities, prayers and gods can no longer be expected.

Patih Pramana's legs seemed to be slowly inching, Rajendra who realized the movement immediately made adjustments to prepare for the attack. The residence seemed to last thousands of years, when in fact it was short. The entire time it takes to draw and exhale is half a dozen times.

Then a powerful cry coming from Patih Pramana immediately broke the tension-filled second, followed by a screech from Rajendra. The two seem to jump and collide, a barrage of punches from Patih Pramana's two hands seem to be avoided and fended off by Rajendra. On the sidelines of the opportunity Rajendra always hit back and with Patih Pramana not trying to dodge at all, he felt like he would not lose.

All who saw the fight could only hold their breath and feel astonished. The speed and magic of both of them were completely beyond the limits of reasoning, they could see when one avoidable blow always just smashed the thing that hit the tip of the blow. A quick assessment can be seen if Patih Pramana looks a little superior in terms of fighting techniques and devotion. But without them knowing if Rajendra is superior in terms of spirit and speed.

Rajendra who is aware that Patih Pramana considers it trivial feels happy because then he can continue to do punches and kicks that are getting stronger. Patih Pramana, who had just received an attack from Rajendra, now realized that the longer Rajendra's attack became stronger, now he seemed to avoid some of the punches and kicks that Rajendra did.

The barrage of punches from Rajendra that targeted the face and stomach of Patih Pramana finally made Patih Pramana's body bounce, the arrogance of the Patih seemed to have been used well by Rajendra. Without Patih Pramana realizing in the fight Rajendra had increased the power of his punch by focusing his inner power on his hands and feet. But soon Patih Pramana got back up and recovered from all his injuries.

Seeing that over and over again Rajendra seemed to begin to feel that what he was facing right now was no longer human. He thought it would be futile to attack his punches and kicks, so with all his confidence he began to appear to pull the sword from his back. With both hands holding the sword to the side, as high as Rajendra's eyes, he is seen preparing to attack.

The light shining on the sword held by his enemy made the feather of Patih Pramana immediately stand up, for the first time in his life he felt a sign of fear. Patih Pramana seemed to shake his head, either to throw away the fearful thoughts or just to wag the sweat on his forehead. Many times the Patih changed the position of his horses in his attempt to lure Rajendra to attack, but Rajendra remained motionless.

Losing patience finally Patih Pramana took the initiative to make an attack, Rajendra darted to welcome the opportunity he had been waiting for. A blow that Patih Pramana threw at Rajendra with a high jump, and while folding his legs he seemed to shrink his body. Shortly after his leap past the head of Patih Pramana he slashed a sword into the back of the Patih.

"Argh.." Patih Pramana shouted when he was hit by Rajendra's sword slash, as if his soul was making that sound. He collapsed, slowly his wounds recovered but Patih Pramana could not hide the pain from the attack he had just received. Realizing the attack had not stopped Patih Pramana immediately got up and tried to jump away.

Rajendra continued to urge Patih Pramana with his attack, as if he had lost his confidence Patih Pramana could only avoid the barrage of attacks that led to him. Sword slashes, kicks come in and out just as a sword is slashed a kick will overtake it. Avoiding the slash of the sword means placing Patih Pramana in the direction of Rajendra's kick. A kick finally with a slump to the side of Patih Pramana stomach he bounced to the side with a hard, Rajendra did not waste the opportunity by following towards the Patih prepared to release his sword.

Feeling no more chance of evading Patih Pramana has really lost his chance, he has been cornered and threatened by the slash of Rajendra's sword. While shouting Patih Pramana crossed his arms trying to fend off the sword from Rajendra, either smoke or black fire immediately emerged from the two hands of Patih Pramana. The slash of Rajendra's sword immediately struck, a thumping sound was heard when Rajendra's sword struck Patih Pramana's hand.

Something unexpected happens Rajendra's body seems bounced by the stalk of Patih Pramana, with bersalto Rajendra managed to balance himself and landed with his feet.

The attack caused a thick puff of smoke around Patih Pramana, squinting Rajendra's eyes to find out what had just happened. The smoke began to thin and Patih Pramana's body slowly began to appear, and something seemed to be in the grasp of the Patih. It was glowing with a black aura, when the smoke had completely disappeared, it could now be clearly seen if it was a Sword.

"Is that a Black sword?" Rajendra and the two Atmik who saw him asked the same question in each other's hearts.

Wanara and Shengkara who also saw the incident looked at each other and smiled,

"Finally it came up too" Wanara said.

"It looks like your plan really worked" Shengkara replied.

"Come.Now we have to take him away, there is something we have to do after the sword appears, this fight is no longer meaningful" Wanara invited Shenkara to hurry.

Instantly both of them had disappeared and suddenly appeared behind Patih Pramana.

"What's wrong?" Patih Pramana asked who was surprised by the presence of the two.

Without the need to answer the two seemed to immediately hold the shoulder Patih Pramana.

"What do you mean?" Shouted the Patih looked less happy because he understood the meaning of touch on both shoulders.

His third body disappeared instantly. Leaving behind all the traces of the battle that had just happened, leaving everyone who saw him gripped by a curiosity, leaving Rajendra who realized that the current Black Sword had appeared.

The sound of a triumphant shout rumbled over the walls of the royal fortress of Shaminari, all the soldiers thought that if victory had been achieved. No one realizes that if all this is just a beginning, no one knows if a greater threat awaits. All the faces were smiling happily but not to Rajendra and to the two Atmik, they understood that a great danger was coming soon. Only they know the bad possibilities are imminent.

"We must warn the King of the Shaminari kingdom" Rajendra said as he walked closer to the two Atmik.

Both Atmik nodded, the three then started walking towards the fortress, greeted by the sound of victory celebrations that sounded pseudo to the three of them.
