The Fate of Adipura Kingdom

65. Aryo vs. Balda II

King Jaka could never calm down if his brother was still alive, he was sure his brother would muster the strength to overthrow him from the throne of Adipura kingdom. Therefore for a year the king of Jaka continued to commit terror directed at Aryo and his family.

The memory flashed swiftly in his mind, making the anger within him even more so. He gnashed his teeth preparing to charge towards minister Balda. With Bagaskara's keris and Aryo's spoiled sword then advanced to attack.

Minister Balda who saw his opponent heading towards him just kept silent while smiling mockingly, "Too fast decades for you to defeat me! I'll make you understand the beast!", minister Balda drew his sword and then clashed with Aryo.

Duel between the two is now inevitable, various moves and attacks are deployed to defeat each other. Aryo with all his ability to attack vigorously smouldered to avenge the death of his father, while minister Balda responded to his attack with a mocking smile constantly plugged in his face.

Their duel had both become the hottest duel that was going on in the battle tonight. They continued to exchange attacks after attacks so aggressively that it made other soldiers not dare to be near the two of them.

Aryo attacks using his sword while Bagaskara's kris he uses to fend off his opponent's attacks. While minister Balda continued to try to resist his opponent's attacks. For him, the attack from Aryo is nothing but he does not want to be cheated because it is too relaxed.

The swordplay from Aryo is good but the strength between the two is clearly very visible. Aryo had exerted his best ability to suppress his opponent but a single attack did not succeed he inched into his opponent's body.

Even his swordplay was easily broken by Balda's minister, he concluded that if he continued to fight even longer then he would be the aggrieved party later.

Minister Balda smiled as she repelled the attack from Aryo, "Good talent for a would-be corpse", her mocking smile grew even more so.

He deliberately said so to provoke anger from his opponent, thus he was sure that his opponent would get angry and accidentally showed a gap for him to launch a deadly attack.

But Aryo is not typical of people thought by Balda minister, with good upbringing and support from his beloved family makes his wise character has been formed since he was a child.

Aryo only responds to the words of his opponent as the wind then only, although his opponent had insulted his beloved father but he did not want dark eyes. In the war of death is the closest friend who always accompany at all times.

Aryo smiled at Balda's minister, "What comes from the ground, will certainly return to the ground. If fate is determined, then death is the last thing you will get", Aryo moves back after saying the word.

"I must admit that you are wiser than the one who is ruling the kingdom of Adipura at this time. He was only concerned with profit for himself until he was willing to sacrifice his people", minister Balda stared at Aryo for a moment before sticking his sword into the ground, "While you stand here sacrificing body and soul to fight the evil your brother has done. How could the two brothers be so far apart in nature from each other?", minister Balda continued to gaze towards Aryo.

"What are you talking about?!", Aryo stared intently at minister Balda.

Aryo had been made astonished because of his opponent's current behavior, when the two were hot-hot fighting why now he looked so relaxed without any burden.

And the question posed by his opponent was so impulsive to him, he then stuck his sword on the ground and sheathed Bagaskara's keris before answering the question from his opponent.

"He's my brother yet we were born to a different mother, he has his mother's disposition which is also stubborn and it goes down to him", Aryo starts to explain the answer of his opponent's question.

"Ha... Ha... Ha... It is fitting that his attitude is very unruly, if we can re-elect we will not help such a person who leads with an iron fist. Haasha.... Just thinking about it made me dizzy", minister Balda shook his head repeatedly.

"Speak what you are!!! I am sure that behind the misery of the people of Adipura kingdom there is interference from you people of Obstacle kingdom!!! I'm not as stupid as you think, I know that you're acting behind the scenes in Jaka's leadership!!!", Aryo became furious for a moment, but his emotions then slowly decreased.

"What was meant by the talk earlier?!", inner Aryo.

As if knowing with the heart of Aryo, Balda minister then spoke again, "I did not fully support the coup plan when you were still the king first, he said, it's just that my duty as the right hand of the Constraint kingdom should make me obey all the commands that are passed on to me. I have no power to refuse direct orders from our king to help your brother first", Balda minister explained his reasons for aiding the coup of king Jaka two years ago.

Aryo listened to the explanation from Balda minister until it was finished, every remark from Balda minister he managed to catch his point. But he did not want to believe too quickly.

"If so, what is the effect?! The Kingdom of Obstacles never wanted to be on good terms with the kingdom of Adipura. We have never made any mistake towards you and why do you hate our kingdom so much?!", Aryo's breath up and down held back his emotions that were about to explode.

"For that matter I have no right to answer, there is a more fitting in that" Balda's minister drew his sword from the ground, "If you can defeat me, I'll take you to his front. But I tell you first, it will use effort that is not playful. Your life is the bet! Ha... Ha... Uh.huh..."

Aryo almost cussed at hearing the laughter from his current opponent but he immediately readied himself as his opponent had already taken a stance to fight back. Not long after he pulled out his sword while Bagaskara's keris remained in its sheath, he planned to use Bagaskara's kris in the crucial moments only.

The aura of the fight between the two again filled the air making the soldiers who were fighting reluctant to be near the fight of the two of them.

Minister Balda moves first to attack his opponent while Aryo prepares to receive an attack from his opponent. Their swords were now clashing together and creating sparks that made their dueling atmosphere even hotter.

No one thought about the war situation now being on which side, the two of them were more focused on fighting each other with the abilities he had. Minister Balda was surprised by the resilience of Aryo, even though the strength among them was far enough adrift but Aryo could survive any attack he launched.
