The Fate of Adipura Kingdom

69. Bitter Smile

"Finally.", Subani breathed a sigh of relief, he had witnessed his partner's fight against the twin swordsmen.

He was also worried considering his partner was already on the edge when he came to help. But his worry did not last long after he witnessed for himself his partner had managed to defeat his dueling opponent.

Subani is now facing three men from the army of black wolves with the equivalent strength of a white tiger swordsman. But he found out that his three opponents had just entered the level so as to make him able to keep up with all three.

But he soon realized that his partner had run out of steam, it was clearly visible because now his partner fell to the ground half-lying. Subani wants to help but the three opponents do not stay still, they block Subani's steps and do not want to let go.

Feeling that his opponent was starting to mean it, he had no choice but to show his full strength. Subani then attacked aggressively using a machete in his hand accompanied by his bare hands silat science.

The combination of the two makes Subani now have the upper hand and managed to dominate the fight against his enemy.

"Straight snake slit!"

Before attacking Subani perform a movement like a dance with a machete in his hand. He played his machete so beautifully and after his movement finished like a snake he advanced by running zigzag and then launched his attack.

Subani's machete game is so complicated to read by his opponent, not to mention his body like a snake that is constantly very fast. The three enemies tried to calm down in this situation, they tried to set the distance so that the three of them could understand every move from their opponent.

But Subani did not stay still, he continued to attack without pause so that his opponent did not have a chance to keep his distance from him. The gauge changes hands from right hand to left alternately and continuously so that the effectiveness of the attack becomes greater.

While his feet continued to attack towards the hand of his opponent who was holding a sword. As if not afraid Subani continues to kick both from the side, back and front.

His opponent was astonished by Subani's attack as if he was not afraid that his legs would fall victim to their swords, but it was not as they thought.

Subani knows exactly what he is doing, he is not attacking recklessly. He attacked when he got a good momentum to launch each kick towards his opponent.

It was from this that his opponent realized that their opponent was now the best empty-handed silat expert they had ever met.

In the kingdom of empty-handed silat obstacles are not much in demand by the warriors or royal soldiers because empty-handed silat is intended only to guard themselves or paralyze the enemy. While the famous Obstacle kingdom lives hard like a forest does not pay attention to this silat.

The law of the jungle applies where the strong will rule and the weak will always be oppressed. Therefore, the character of the people of the kingdom of Obstacles is very hard because of their life like hell.

They put forward the science of swordsmanship, spearmanship or archery, the reason that in the kingdom Obstacle is very rarely found people who have the science of empty hand silat as high as Subani.

Tsigwgg.... Tsinghgg......

The sound of Aryo's spoiled sword and Balda's minister's sword clashed against each other and made a continuous clanging sound. The two had fought for quite a long time where their location was already covered in blood from the wounds on their respective bodies.

While Aryo got quite a severe wound from it, there were already countless scratch wounds that were now engraved on his body and continued to bleed freshly. The sword he used already had cracks due to their swords constantly clashing.

"Huhhh... I've almost reached the limit", inner Aryo.

Aryo's breath rose and fell quickly due to the extreme fatigue he was feeling right now. Not only were the wounds all over his body requiring him to drain his profound energy to stop the blood from continuing to come out.

Minister Balda knew clearly the situation his opponent was in now, he did not want to waste the opportunity that had been present before his eyes. He then moved quickly forward and gave a cross slash attack towards Aryo.

Aryo responded with a deflecting gesture using his spoiled sword, as his sword and minister Balda's sword met his surprise when the sword he was using broke into pieces.

Minister Balda deliberately drained the power inside in his attack so as to make the sword used by Aryo now shatter into pieces like a glass that fell to the floor.

Explosions of energy splashed out when the two swords met, because the sword that was unable to withstand the sword energy from its opponent made Aryo thrown backwards due to the explosion of energy.

Buuugggkkhh....

Aryo's body was thrown quite a distance away and then landed very hard on the ground. His body seemed to numb for a moment before the pain began to attack him.

"Uuuggghhuukk".", Aryo realized when his body was very sick and then he coughed up blood.

His chest was hot, he stroked his chest which was in constant pain. Aryo tried to get up and stand up again but his body seemed to not want to follow his orders. While still feeling the pain in his body, he could faintly see minister Balda now moving into place slowly.

"There's a last word before death approaches you?!", minister Balda is now three steps away from Aryo's position lying on the ground.

Aryo was about to try to get up, he did not want to die like this. Many things that he has not finished, his heart feels tight because he does not want to accept the bitter fact that he has lost his fight.

The beautiful face of his wife then appeared in the crucial moments when he was facing the word death. He looked at the dark sky, he felt that in front of him now his wife was looking at him with the sweetest smile he had.

Sad feelings burst forth and as if stabbing his heart in a row, he had a promise to go home and accompany his wife in a peaceful life to raise his son later.

But now he was confronted that if he died all the promises he had made would all be lost and his wife would suffer the loss of herself.

A bitter smile was now engraved on Aryo's face, "Did everything just get here?", Aryo could only speak in his heart. His body was now no longer energized, the pain that attacked him seemed to disappear after the memory of his wife passed through his mind.

"I'm sorry kanda.", Aryo's tears dripped down her cheeks.
