The Heirloom of the Catastrophe Spreader

The Stupid One Who's Not Dumb

Nyi Manikmaya nanar stared at the corpse of Ki Jayasatru who was lying just not far from where he stood. Anger mixed with anger mixed into one in his heart. The woman immediately put the large silver knife in her left hand into her waist and reached into the knife neatly arranged behind her clothes.

One loud bang, Nyi Manikmaya shot towards Anjani while throwing four small knives at Arya Pethak's comrade.

Shrrrionnggg!!

Four small knives slid down towards Anjani. The disciple of the Snake Demon Goddess directly salted back to avoid the knife attack of Nyi Manikmaya.

Crepp creep creeppphh!!

The knife stuck on the ground which became the footrest of Anjani. After dodging Nyi Manikmaya's silver knife, Anjani immediately threw two blackish-green needles at Nyi Manikmaya.

Whuutt!!

Nyi Manikmaya who shot towards Anjani, instantly changed her body movements by rolling onto the ground to save herself. At the same time, Anjani smashed his blackish-green left hand from the Ajian Snake Tread.

Whhhuuussshhhhh!!

Seeing the attacks from Anjani, Nyi Manikmaya in an instant clumped away from the blackish green rays released by Anjani.

Bllaammmmmmm!!

The buffalo-sized pit was created from a loud explosion when the Ajian Snake Demon Tread hit the ground. Not stopping there, Anjani hunted the movement of Nyi Manikmaya with the throw of his poisoned needle.

Shrrrionnggg!!

Nyi Manikmaya goes to great lengths to hold back Anjani's secret weapon by flicking his left hand to stop the pace of poisonous needles.

Whuussshhhh!!

Bllaaaaaarrr!!!

Anjani's poisonous needle shattered into pieces was hit by the energy in Nyi Manikmaya, but at the same time Anjani had moved to the right of Nyi Manikmaya while plunging the Death God Blade into the woman's stomach.

Jllleeeeeeppph..

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!

Nyi Manikmaya let out a loud scream as Anjani's Death God Blade pierced through her stomach. The woman staggered backwards as Anjani pulled the Death God Blade from her stomach. The woman just fell after tripping over Ki Jayasatru's corpse. He was killed next to the body of Ki Jayasatru, his partner.

That night, the specter of a serial killer who frightened the citizens of the Duchy of Rajapura ended up in the hands of Arya Pethak and Anjani.

After seeing his opponent killed, Anjani immediately approached Arya Pethak who was channeling his inner strength to help Senopati Lion Parna treat his internal injuries.

Arya Pethak lowered her hand while sighing deeply. The face of Senopati Singa Parna that had been pale gradually improved.

"How about Gusti Senopati? Is it better?", asked Arya Pethak while standing from her seat behind the back of Senopati Lions Parna.

"It's good, young swordsman. I thank you for your help.

You must come with me young swordsman", Senopati Lions Parna stood beside Arya Pethak.

"What are we coming for? Have we not helped you Gusti Senopati?", said Anjani while aligning himself beside Arya Pethak who began to walk.

"You helped me, of course

to say thank you.

Do not ask much, you follow me" said Senopati Lions Parna while darting quickly towards the palace of the Duchy of Rajapura. Anjani stared at Arya Pethak as if asking for an explanation, but saw Arya Pethak shrugging both shoulders, finally Anjani and Arya Pethak darted following the steps of Senopati Lion Parna.

The crescent moon hangs in the western sky along with the twinkling stars in space. Between the darkness of the night of the Duchy of Rajapura, three shadows flashed rapidly towards the north. Once he reached a house outside the palace walls, the three shadows stopped.

Senopati Singa Parna immediately stepped into the gate of his residence followed by Arya Pethak and Anjani.2 gate guard soldiers immediately saluted the high officer.

As soon as he reached the veranda of the house, Senopati Lions Parna immediately clapped. Hearing the applause, two people carrying his residence immediately ran up to Senopati Lion Parna.

"Prepare a banquet for the three of us. I was hungry", Senopati ordered the Lion Parna immediately which made the two maids instantly bow respectfully and rush towards the kitchen.

Arya Pethak, Anjani and Senopati Singa Parna immediately sat cross-legged on the porch floor of the residence of the high officer of the Duchy of Rajapura.

"Once again I represent the entire government of the Duchy of Rajapura thanking the two of you for the help you provided.

The two killers really made me dizzy some time yesterday" Senopati said Lion Parna with a thin smile.

"Just a little help Gusti Senopati. As a swordsman, it is appropriate that we help eradicate the crimes committed by the two people", Arya Pethak greeted politely.

"Hehehehe I love your humility, young man..

If you may know, where are you going?", Senopati Lions Parna stared at the faces of Anjani and Arya Pethak alternately. The rays of the castor oil lamp that illuminated the place seemed to sway in the wind.

"We want to go to Mount Ciremai, Gusti Senopati. There is something we are looking for to help our friend who is now in Kembang Kuning", Arya Pethak honestly answered Senopati Lion Parna's question.

"Your goals are also far away..

Then wait here for a moment", Senopati Lions Parna immediately moved from her seat and stepped into her residence. Not long after that he returned to the porch of his residence to meet Arya Pethak and Anjani.

"This is for your journey, hopefully next time we can still meet again.

My message, be careful when entering the Galuh Pakuan area. Especially in the Saunggalah Duchy. I heard, the disciples of the Sky Roof Palace College like to make trouble with foreigners especially from the wetan area like us", Senopati Lion Parna put a bag of silver kepeng in front of Arya Pethak.

"We still have the provisions of Gusti Senopati's journey. We help not to expect anything in return" Arya Pethak said, shoving a silver kepeng bag towards Senopati Lions Parna.

"Don't refuse. This is a sign of our friendship, young swordsman", forcibly Senopati Lion Parna with a knotty smile. Inevitably, Arya Pethak took a bag of silver kepeng and handed it to Anjani who was in charge of holding their finances.

That night they talked warmly. After enjoying the food served, Arya Pethak and Anjani beg to return to the inn where they spent the night. Two soldiers led them to the entrance of the inn.

The night quickly changed in the morning. The atmosphere on the road was repeated. That morning the area of the city of the Duchy of Rajapura was shocked by the news of the killing of a pair of serial killers who became a scourge for them some time ago.

When the news was heard, Arya Pethak, Anjani and Klungsur had reached outside the city of Rajapura Duchy. At a crossroads, Klungsur jumped down from his horse to ask a man for firewood.

"Kisanak, which road leads to Kali Pemali next door? That's the look of the pier crossing to Galuh Pakuan", asked Klungsur on the middle-aged man.

"Kisanak take the right side. Straight have arrived at Wanacala Village.. Well in the village there is a crossing pier if you want to go to the Galuh Pakuan region", replied the firewood seeker who was sitting under a shady tree.

"Thank you then. Excuse me old man" Klungsur said as he turned around and jumped on his horse. The three of them immediately took the right lane and kicked his horse.

By midday, Arya Pethak's entourage reached Wanacala Village as a clue from the firewood seekers they had met earlier.

A fat man with a distended stomach was seen shouting loudly at the edge of the crossing pier.

"Come who wants to cross into the Galuh Pakuan area? Hurry quickly, the ferry is almost full, leaving soon!

Come on, Nisanak..

Hurry up, these are the last two crossings before closing. If you are late, you have to wait tomorrow morning", cried the fat man while staring at the person who had just arrived at the pier crossing.

"Don't listen to him, only a fool believes the fat guy's talk. New crossings close as dusk begins to fall. Let's find some food first", replied the friend, holding the young man's hand towards a food stall near the entrance of the pier.

The conversation between the two of them was clearly heard by Arya Pethak, Klungsur and Anjani.

"Ndoro Pethak, how better? If we are late, then the crossing will close us who bother.

But my stomach was hungry Ndoro, puzzled me", Klungsur looked towards Arya Pethak who was still casually guiding their horse.

"You heard two people talking, Sur..

Only a fool would believe the fat man's words. We are hungry to find food first", said Anjani while looking for the existence of food stalls. At Anjani's suggestion, they headed straight to a food stall located on one of the street corners near the pier.

After filling his stomach, Arya Pethak and her two friends immediately lead their horses each to the ferry boat. The fat man immediately greeted the three of them.

"Three kids want to cross?

This is the last boat crossing today. New regulations from the ruler of the Duchy of Saunggalah to limit the number of foreigners from the wetan area because soon there will be a match at the Sky Roof Palace to choose new silat jago-jago.

The cost is enough 1 piece of silver per person, if added horse yes add 2 pieces of bronze. Sok mango atuh Akang kasep and Eneng geulis rose", said the fat man kindly.

Anjani directly pay their crossing fee to the fat guy. Because it does not have a bronze kepeng, Anjani held out 4 pieces of silver which means there is still change of money.

"Back of money for you" Anjani stepped into the boat. The fat man immediately bowed respectfully to Anjani. The rest of the money from Anjani is enough to eat 3 times for her.

"Hatur nohun Eneng geulis", the fat man smiled widely. The ferry boat immediately left the pier to the opposite of the Pemali river which became the boundary of the Singhasari Kingdom and Galuh Pakuan.

The ripples of the Pemali river wave are slightly brownish which does carry mud from its upstream.

"It's a good thing that I'm not a fool like those two guys..

If we cross late, we must spend the night on the edge of this river and have my blood drained by the mosquito mosquito damned", Klungsur said as he stared at the ripples of the river.

"You quipped me Sur?", Anjani glared wide at Klungsur.

"Dare not dare not.. I said the same to myself kog", Klungsur is indeed afraid of Anjani, especially with the poison he has. The business of stabbing the same blow, he is immune because the Talisman Lulang Kebo Landoh given Arya Pethak, but if it is poisoned, it must be modar Klungsur.

"Not fussing. We're almost up to this" Arya Pethak mediates their debate. And indeed the ferry boat they were riding, slowly docked at the pier crossing of the Duchy of Saunggalah Kingdom of Galuh Pakuan.

The three of them immediately drove their horses towards Barisan city which is the Wado region of Saunggan Duchy named Harya Permana.

After passing through several villages around the highway to Kawadoan Barisan, Arya Pethak was forced to stop their horse foot steps on the edge of a small river with a forest. The afternoon has gone up in the evening while it seems like the residential area is still not visible as well.

"It looks like we should spend the night at this place, Anjani...

Come Sur we prepare a place and firewood for the bonfire" said Arya Pethak while jumping down from his horse. Anjani and Klungsur soon followed the young swordsman's steps without saying much. They immediately shared the task for their overnight preparations.

After a short hunt in the small forest, Arya Pethak gets a large boar to fill their stomachs that night.

The night is coming. Slowly the night replaced the bright light of the sun with a cold dark. The crescent moonlight hung in the western sky.

Arya Pethak kept turning the roasted wild boar over the blazing bonfire. Alternating with Klungsur, slowly the smell of roasted meat spread around the place.

In the darkness of the night, several black shadows moved closer to where Arya Pethak and her friends were busy enjoying roasted wild boar while chatting together.

The kreeekkkk!

The sound of a dry twig on the foot was heard by Arya Pethak's ears. But the young swordsman looked calm while continuing to bite the piece of roasted wild boar that Anjani had just given.

As Arya Pethak predicted, 5 people consisting of 3 women and two men emerged from the darkness of the night.5 these people immediately approached towards the bonfire. The new Klungsur realized their presence, instantly leaping towards his Gada Galih Asem.

"Who are y'all? What are you doing here?", asked Klungsur while holding the handle of Gada Galih Asem. Arya Pethak continued her dinner while occasionally glancing at the 5 people.

"Hampura atuh Den, seagrass servant..

Kenging is not joining in dieu?", said a middle-aged man who is the oldest man among the five people.

"Urang urang what? Sort Windu?

By the way that is clear dong", Klungsur who does not understand Sundanese at all is clearly confused.

"Urang windu your bald is Sur. If you do not understand, do not just say the words of people. Shut your mouth, don't make a sound.

Sok mango atuh Aki, where na kenteh efficient kanggo diuk sareng", Anjani stared at the five people with a thin smile. Apparently Anjani little understand the language of the Galuh Pakuan. The five of them immediately sat in front of the bonfire to warm the body.

"The mango? Where's An's mango? We don't eat mangoes, it's not the season yet", Klungsur ngeyel asked Anjani. Arya Pethak smiled at Klungsur.

"Stay be a fool who is not a fool Sur.

Eat the roasted wild boar so that your brain dilutes a little" Anjani said with a big smile. Hearing that remark, Klungsur fell silent for a moment.

'That was like my talk earlier this afternoon', Klungsur's mind while scratching his head. Realizing that he was being retorted by Anjani, Klungsur immediately said,

"Anjani, are you taking revenge on me?".
