The Dragon God Swordsman
51. A moment of calm (6)
Patih Purno and Subani are still busy facing the remnants of black tribal forces which now number only 6 people. His other comrades had met their end in the hands of his two opponents, just waiting for the sure time they would soon follow.
Patih Purno did not want to wait any longer, he gave Subani an excuse to finish this fight immediately. Subani understood what he had to do, he then pulled the machete. The black tribal troops who realized it had now become limp, their feet trembling with fear.
Facing Subani who is without weapons and only empty-handed is already difficult, especially now having to face a machete that has sharp eyes in the hands of his opponent. They tried to move but fear had taken hold of their bodies and minds, seeing the machete being played around so elegantly by his opponent instead of making them calm even as threatened.
The movement is so elegant and tortuous Subani showed to his opponent, "Snake spoon cleaver", Subani issued one of his mainstay moves to finish the fight. Before attacking Subani first tied the hilt of his machete with a rope, his opponent was unaware of it.
The long-awaited momentum has arrived, when the black tribal troops are focusing on the show from their colleagues, Patih Purno then advanced forward first to attack the opponent.
The black tribe who saw it then prepared to face the attacking Patih Purno first, seeing no subsequent movement from Subani they then focus on resisting the attack from Patih Purno with all the energy they have.
The resistance of this black tribe left Patih Purno amazed by their determination. Despite the fact that their strength is far away, the soul of a fighter makes them strong and at least if they die they will be proud that they have become a true fighter.
When the distance between Patih Purno and his opponent was only a few steps away, Patih Purno quickly jumped up, the unexpected move took his opponent by surprise. But the sense of surprise became greater when a machete slid rapidly towards one of the black tribal forces at the front.
The talisman was none other than Subani's machete, he deliberately let his partner advance first to distract the opponent. With Patih Purno as bait he freely launched a surprise attack on the black tribe. And it turned out to work very smoothly, the knife is now stuck right in the chest to the left of one of his opponents.
Not only that, Subani quickly pulled his spear and threw it back towards one of his other opponents, the second throw also managed to land on the stomach of the opponent he had been aiming for. Fresh blood flowed profusely from the wound that Subani had inflicted on his opponent making the remaining four people gulp down, a feeling of fear re-attacking them.
Subani launched his third attack targeting one of the black tribal forces again. Not wanting to die without a fight then make the targeted person take up arms prepared to fend off the attack.
Subani deliberately threw his machete a little slower than before, because there was another surprise attack that he would show to his opponent. When the machete almost came into contact with his opponent's sword at that time, Subani pulled a little rope that tied the handle of the machete. The rope that was pulled turned out to change the direction of the attack from his machete and was now moving towards his opponent's right thigh.
The person who became the target of Subani did not expect the surprise attack, he did not have time to avoid because of such a short span of time. Now that his opponent's machete had already stuck deeply in his right thigh made the groan of pain from his mouth unbearable anymore.
But the groan did not last long, not long after Patih Purno who jumped up earlier down to the position of victim of the attack from Subani. When the foot of Patih Purno stepped on the ground he began to make movements such as wanting to hit with his spear from the bottom, but not in the direction of his opponent but right in the hilt of Subani's machete.
His opponent who was groaning in pain due to the attack from Subani was not aware of the presence of Patih Purno in front of him. Seeing the golden opportunity Patih Purno did not want to waste it, "Goodbye brave enemy!", Patih Purno directly hit with his spear right on the hilt of Subani's machete.
Because the blow from the spear Patih Purno made a machete that stuck in the foot of one of the black tribal troops then penetrated and now leads to three people who were behind the man.
The bolt pierced through their bodies quickly without them noticing and stopped after it was stuck in the chest of the black tribal troops who were at the very back. Now that the machete has left the remaining four people to take their lives as a result, Subani then pulled the machete so hard that three of his four opponents are now trapped like fish eating a fishing rod.
The three men then fell down together in a clinging position, while the one person left behind fell down on his knees holding a wound to his chest.
Patih Purno walked slowly towards the man, when the distance was close he then said, "You guys are great opponents, you know, we will always remember that tonight we have met one of the true warriors", finished saying so Patih Purno then launched an attack slashing right into the neck of his opponent. His attack managed to get his opponent's head now separated from his owner's body, and the fight with the black tribe was finally over.
***
Balda's ministerial-led forces had just arrived not far from the fighting position of Patih Purno with the last black tribal troops. He had witnessed the moments where Patih Purno finished off his opponent, because the opponent who was finished by Patih Purno was not from his army he was then just silent.
He had guessed that the black tribal troops he had borrowed from the young woman would suffer badly after getting out of his plans. And the fact has come to pass that all the black tribal forces that went with him are now lying lifeless around present-day Patih Purno and Subani.
Patih Purno who realized that the opponent's reinforcements had now come and then prepared to face them followed by Subani next to him not long later.
"The opposing team did not play games after receiving defeat this afternoon", Subani commented to Patih Purno when he saw the sea of enemies had entered their headquarters.
"Are you afraid of my friend?", Patih Purno spontaneously asked Subani. The question from his colleague made Subani a little offended, "What should I be afraid of? No one can scare me in this world!", said Subani.
"really? What if it's about your wife?"
The question from Patih Purno made Subani hold her breath for a moment, she then looked at the face of her colleague who now had a contrived smile.
"Those crucial moments are why you should talk about my wife! You want to fight now?!", Subani became a little emotional because of Patih Purno's question just now.
Patih Purno's laughter could not be contained anymore, his partner was already shouting fishing rod that he had made, "Sorry I did not mean, I just make sure that my friend is still focused in facing our opponent tonight", patih Purno replied while patting his partner's shoulder.
Subani who heard that then punched right in his colleague's right arm, "That's a reply because of your words", after saying so Subani then laughed with Patih Purno.
