The Fragrant Soul
Chapter 35: The Battle of the Two Dragons
“See sword!’ shiva Baruna. He swung his weapon very quickly. Like a lightning sting, the movement of the weapon in his hand was like emitting a dazzling light, whereas what he held was not a mestika sword but just a tree branch on the roadside.
Raka welcomed the attack calmly. He shifted his foot to the right side to avoid the twig as well as launch his attack. He almost dodged too late because it turned out that Shiva Baruna's attack was very fast!
The branches of Raka attack the wrists of Shiva Baruna.
As the most outstanding swordsman, of course, the attack was not a dangerous threat. With a salto in the air, Raka's attack has been successfully avoided while he himself launched a counterattack.
Shiva Baruna's movement is light as the wind.
While his swordsmanship is so fast and roaring like a hurricane that destroys everything he encounters.
Such is the mainstay swordsmanship of this superior swordsman.
Raka who was pressed by dozens of sword shadows was not necessarily nervous. Once on foot, he was already bouncy in the air, escaping from the siege of the sword shadow.
Having just escaped, the sword storm chased him upward with great ferocity.
Raka clumped in the air. If his feet were down, now his head is down. He faced the sword storm with the 7th skill of the Dragon Conqueror Sword Science: Suddenly Becoming Convinced.
The first three steps of this science are to deal with the turmoil of many people. The second three moves are to face various kinds of weapons such as toya, spear, machete, and others. While the last three moves are especially for dealing with swordsmen.
Raka shouted the name of the move, “Suddenly Become Convinced!”
Antasena holds the stomach because it feels tingly. A lifetime has never heard the name of such a funny style. Why are you suddenly so sure?
Jurus “Sadak Being Yakin” is a new move launched after seeing and knowing the attack power of the opponent. Raka had indeed allowed himself to be attacked first, so that he could gauge the prowess of the opponent.
His speed, strength, rhythm, habits, and all sorts of other things that belonged to the opponent, he had known them carefully just by looking at one sword.
This was the essence of the Dragon Conqueror Sword. Relying on counterattacks by disrupting the rhythm of the opponent's attack.
The sword storm that belonged to Shiva Baruna had pierced through Raka with just one counterattack into an empty crack!
Because no matter how great the science of silat, there must be a blank point. There must be a weak point. Because it has become a natural formula that if someone attacks, there must be a part that is open to him.
The more powerful a person's silat, the more capable he would be of covering that blank spot from the opponent's sight and attack. And the kosog point of Shiva Baruna is very small, even just a bed being pierced by an ant.
But what Shiva Baruna faced was a Fragrant Sukma. Deafness since childhood can make his senses become more sensitive. Each end of his skin was able to catch vibrations. His eyes became much sharper and watchful. His feelings became much more subtle and deep.
One strike could indeed have blown the sword storm SIwa Baruna, but this swordsman was a mature swordsman who had eaten a lot of battle salt acid. So that enough to slightly pull the body back, Raka's attack can be avoided.
He moved again like a wind that blew very hard, knowing his hand made a circle of sword that snatched very fierce. It was like the sound of lightning emerging from this sword circle.
Duaarrr!
Duaaaarrr!
Rrrrrrr!!!
A strong wind emerged from the round of the arm that created that sword circle. Like a whirlwind pouncing on everything!
This circle gave off a blue light like a dragon that was spinning creating thunderbolts. The rhythm of his attacks was now fickle, no longer remaining as he had initially attacked. It seemed that he had realized that Raka had been able to read the rhythm of his attacks.
Seeing that Shiva Baruna had changed the rhythm of his attack to sometimes slow sometimes fast, Raka also realized that he could no longer rely on rhythm readings. All he did was retreat while setting a step.
Seeing that his opponent had begun to recede, Shiva Baruna intensified his attack by making the sword circle wider. Whatever was hit by this circle became destroyed instantly.
Trees, grasses, rocks, everything was destroyed by this circle! What he was holding was a fragile tree branch!
Raka slid back. This attack was terrible for him to face.
Shiva Baruna then released the sword circle towards Raka. Like a thunderbolt that shot out, the sword circle struck extremely fiercely towards Raka!
“Awas!” antasena shouted very worriedly.
Raka welcomed the circle of vortex!
He entered the circle so boldly!
Not by fighting the circle, but instead entering following the current!
Instantly the circle of swords became much faster and more powerful. His rage was growing sharper destroying everything around him!
Antasena and the coachman were already drifting away from there.
Shiva Baruna was very stunned in his heart to see that Raka had broken through the circle not by fighting the current, but following the current. It turned out to be a way to deal with his own sword style. He himself realized.
“Vibrating Tracing Ice Dew!” the 8 Sword of the Dragon Conqueror.
There was not long for Shiva Baruna to contemplate because the sword circle had already counterattacked itself. Much faster, more powerful, and more violent than he had just launched.
His movements were extremely fast, he clumped together avoiding that all-powerful sword circle.
Blaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The cliff that was not far from there broke apart in a terrible sword circle!
Raka's 8th sword move is to step back to lure the opponent out his greatest energy. Then forward cut through that movement before the attack movement reached its highest point of strength.
“Great!” praise Shiva Baruna. His eyes lit up a sign that he was getting excited. For so long being a peerless swordsman, when finding a balanced opponent, is indeed a fortune.
If you are a great chess player, your life is incomplete if you do not find a balanced chess opponent. If you were a singer with a golden voice, your life would not be perfect if you did not find an equal escort.
Life fills each other. There are friends, there must be opponents.
The happiness in Shiva Baruna's heart, who can understand it?
For a man, if he is so famous, so tall, so great, a little more, must be lonely. Because it is very difficult to find friends and opponents who are equal to him. Who can understand and understand it.
This may be the reason why many high-ranking warriors choose to withdraw from the martial world, because they no longer find a challenge that can quench their thirst for the heights of their own science.
Because finding a comparable opponent, is like finding a mirror.
Where one can measure oneself, one can correct his own shortcomings.
“Mari!” welcome Raka no less excited anyway.
He thought Shiva Baruna would bring out a more terrible and frightening style. The sword became very slow and very light!
The swordsman had learned that Raka had been able to read the rhythm, and the flow of his power. The path he then chose was to negate the rhythm and current. His sword arts became empty and incomprehensible!
For a moment Raka was stunned. It is like being carried into a slow but drifting current. There is no more awesomeness, there is only the holiest point of swordsmanship. Without a sword!
Tree branches become swords, human fingers become swords, leaves become swords, pebbles become swords. Raka felt as if the entire world around her had become a sword.
What science is this?
Of course, this is not a science that wipes the human mind.
The sword of Shiva Baruna is a sacred and straight swordsmanship. Just like the guy. Firm, straight, and straight to the core.
When all the moves are dispensed with, then there is nothing else to do because there is no style that can be used to fight something “without jurus”.
This is the greatest science of Shiva Baruna. Science that had never been used in his life became the number one swordsman in the world. Only this time he was able to use this science, because this science is the ultimate science of all the knowledge he has.
“Holy Heart Sword”
Sword science that prioritizes the straightness of intention and cleanliness of the heart of the owner.
This wave of unexpected and too devastating attacks made Sukma Harum's move fall apart, and the game went awry. Understanding that he could not use any means, he remembered the writing of his teacher on the cave wall.
“9th Step named ‘Striking Darkness’. This move can only be done if you lose all your senses. Because of injury, or because you yourself shut down your senses.”
Raka then closed her eyes. Closing the airway, closing the mind and all its senses from the world around it. I know everything feels dark.
The waves of the attack that had been irregular, now became visible so clearly in the darkness. Like beams of light shining in the darkness of night.
Now he understands that holiness and emptiness must also be faced with the same thing. It cannot be faced with knowledge and knowledge.
Know their weapons are fighting!
Braaanggg!
The twig in the hand of Harum Sukma broke apart.
The twig in the hands of Shiva Baruna is still intact and sturdy, a sign that the distribution of his inner energy to the twig is very perfect.
Shiva Baruna moved want to bottle Sukma Harum's chest, but he was stunned it turns out his neck that had been first bottled.
Harum Sukma used the rest of the twigs in his hand which he used as “gagang saber” to be hooked to the neck of Shiva Baruna.
Now the swordsman understands why Sukma Harum just quietly ventured in the martial world without his flagship weapon. Because the flagship weapon is not Kujang Arka Kencana who is very powerful, but fingers that are full of feeling and have experienced the last for years!
If the fingers were used, it would not disappoint the owner!
“I lost,” said Shiva Baruna while jutting sincerely.
“No, it is precisely I who lost,” denied Sukma Harum.
“But my neck has been hit by raden. If it is Kujang, of course my life has been taken by the angel of death,” said the middle-aged swordsman.
“But aren't we fighting swordsmanship? Not another science?”
It does. In swordsmanship, Sukma Harum still lost experience, lost power, and still lost purely.
But in the fight, Raka won. Because in the fight of life and death, anything can be done as long as it does not violate the honor.
“Haha. Not losing and not winning. Abdi (aku) sense, the servant must release raden to go anywhere. A lifetime will not bother raden anymore. But may I ask?”
“Please, good raden.”
:How long has Raden kept the swordsmanship? During my travels in the martial world for almost 30 years, I have never seen or discovered this swordsmanship.”
Raka does not want to boast by saying that he has only mastered this style since 3 days ago. But he said, “This sword move is a sword style that a Chinese swordsman gave to my teacher. Then by the teacher, swordsmanship a number of 18 styles was then streamlined and united into 9 styles.”
“18 Straight? Named the Dragon Conqueror anyway? Is this sword style based on the style of 18 Dragon Conqueror Treads or 18 Dragon Treads?”
“Abdi don't know. Never heard of the 18 Treads of Dragon.”
“It was a very great deep energy move from China. Dear slama 100 years this, this science has disappeared from the martial world.”
“Oh so,” Raka.
“If you may know, who is the name of the venerable desertda raden?” shiva asked Baruna while yelling.
“His nickname is Night Knight,”
“Oh worth it. Just deserve. Very impressed man. This is a very powerful sword. Armed with this style alone, the servant believes raden can rule the martial world!”
In Raka's heart, laughing, what is it to control the martial world?
But he yelled and said, “Thank you so much good raden. Truly a servant is still not worthy to be his student who is too high in his knowledge.”
“If he has chosen you, of course because raden is very appropriate. What awe-inspiring man. Can the servant ask for one more ceremony? Actually shameful heart asks so much from raden. But really the servant disconnects the veins of shame to ask this to raden.”
“Ah to your own people why is raden so good? Please!”
“Five more years, if raden has completed all this business, and has time to deepen the science of raden a little, will raden meet me again?”
Raka smiled, “Of course.”
Shiva Baruna came home with a radiant face. Eventually he found a reason to live for the next 5 years. He could not wait to go home and start practicing his swordsmanship again.
