The Dragon God Swordsman

9. Duels

King Aryo carried his wife and away from the battle brought the nobles and some royal soldiers. He intends to find a safe place for his followers and return to help Patih Yarna. But only half his steps stopped because of a knife that flew towards him, he easily avoided it and moved back from the location of the knife.

“Why rush too much, play first with me. You still have time, right? The voice rang out and not long ago the figure of the mysterious woman appeared with her wide smile.

“Please take the queen out of the palace and find a safe place. Hiding until it is safe, I will fight this woman” king Aryo told his followers.

“Ahh... Trying escape? Where's your manners?” the woman spoke again accompanied by her annoying laughter.

“Don't nuisance them! I'm fighting you now! And you ask where the manners are? That question you should have asked yourself!” the king answered Aryo with his index finger pointing to the woman's face.

The look on the woman's face that was originally happy finally slowly changed and began to show seriousness. He opened his voice again with a little laugh.

“Ahh... Right too, should that question be shown to me” replied the mysterious woman with a laugh that ended she said.

“Before our fight is not common as fellow swordsman introduced his name to his opponent?” Ask the king of Aryo.

“hahaha... Too boring but that's okay. My name is Liva and I am better known as the swordsman of blood” knife replied the woman with a proud smile adorning her lips.

“Bloom of the blood knife, it turns out you're from the padepokan of the kingdom of Obstacles. Though we never interfere in your royal affairs but you always look for problems so that this conflict occurs” said king Aryo back.

King Aryo did not stay silent, with his heirloom dagger he began to exchange attacks with a blood blade. Both showed balanced strength and continued to exchange styles for moves.

It had been almost 50 moves the two exchanged and the longer king Aryo managed to dominate the fight. Although their strength is the same but the superiority of king Aryo is because there is an heirloom keris in his hands. This kris is named after the prosecutor keris made by mpu Jaya, an old man who has reached a century and is famous as a maker of high-level heirloom weapons.

“The spreader of death” king Aryo took out his nurse and very quickly his hands attacked his opponent's vital direction.

That swift attack was unable to dodge the blood blade all of it, as a result of which there were 2 stabs landing on his shoulder and around his ribs. The blood rushing from his wound made the blood blade fall down in a kneeling position while covering the wound with both hands.

“It's over, your death is near!” said the king of Aryo firmly though his breath is hunting at this time.

It is not easy to conquer the blood knife to make the king of Aryo have to issue the ultimate style. The move absorbed half the inner power he had and most could only be used as much as 2 times.

Now that his inner strength had been depleted, the other half he used when fighting with Patih Yarna to face the mysterious man. King Aryo drew closer to the blood knife and quickly stuck the prosecutor's keris at the head of the blood knife that made him die instantly.

“I can't go back to Patih Yarna's place, I have to recover first. I will look for the whereabouts of Dinda and the other nobles” said king Aryo while sheathing the prosecutor's keris and immediately ran to find his wife.

King Aryo ordered his followers to come out of the palace and find a safe place. When there was an emergency there was a special evacuation route out of the palace, not many knew except the royal family and the high-ranking nobles. Passing that path finally king Aryo managed to find his followers and check the state of his wife who was still unconscious.
