The Heirloom of the Catastrophe Spreader

The Sky Roof Palace

Klungsur stroked his head that was as big as a pigeon's egg. He really did not think that Arya Pethak could be angry at him too.

"Ndoro Pethak, forgive Klungsur deh..

Promise not to dare to do so again. I am kapok Ndoro", Klungsur said as he stuck his pinky finger at Arya Pethak.

"Ah don't believe Ndoro..

Tomorrow he will be like that again. Where can clungsur be kapok? Kapok her he's kapok lombok, the pain is gone again his behavior ", Anjani quickly.

"Eh female demon,

Can you shut up? What mouth is the cauldron leaking anyway? By the way continue not to stop at all ", Klungsur growled at Anjani's taunts.

Arya Pethak let out a cold snort while throwing the talisman belt of Lulang Kebo Landoh to Klungsur. The nude youth instantly caught the black belt immediately. Klungsur's face immediately beamed.

"Next watch out if you repeat. I advise you not that I can you underestimate ", Arya Pethak stepped into the house of Resi Pucukwesi.

"I understand Ndoro Pethak, I understand. Klungsur obeyed Ndoro", Klungsur immediately ran after Arya Pethak. Anjani followed Arya Pethak.

That afternoon, they decided to spend the night at the house of Resi Pucukwesi, a Shiva Hindu priest who works at Wado Lingga. The old man was very friendly with the guests who came to his residence, so everyone felt comfortable staying at the place.

Meanwhile, at Mount Pojoktiga right on the slopes of the summit of the North side, there was a big meeting between the elders of the big silat college that has a name that is quite respected in the Tatar region of Pasundan.

The place was indeed the headquarters of the Sky Roof Palace College, one of the great white streams from the eastern region of Tatar Pasundan. Together with Padepokan Rajawali Sakti from Mount Galunggung and Puncak Khayangan from Mount Gede, they led a white flow in the tatar Pasundan. Although there are still warriors without college and other small paraphernalia, these three groups are really calculated by all circles. Only the Ciremai Mountain School dared to deal with the Sky Roof Palace in the eastern region of Tatar Pasundan.

Hundreds of the main students were seen training in the college courtyard that afternoon. Some lowly disciples were seen going back and forth preparing all the necessities for the college elders as well as direct disciples of the elders of the Sky Roof Palace.

Umbul umbul of sky blue cloth embroidered golden palace gate ornaments against the background of the yellow full moon fluttering in the wind blowing from the top of Mount Pojoktiga.

Dhhhaaaaong!!

Dhhhaaaaong!!

Twice the bell rang as a sign of the afternoon's training was over. The students immediately disperse themselves to prepare for a bath and follow the sports which is a routine activity after dusk at the pamujan Palace Roof Sky.

The Sky Roof Palace itself has 4 different groups but complement each other. The first group was the God Body Palace, which trained disciples to increase the muscular strength of the body vigorously. The second Tameng Langit Palace, focused on making weapons as a fighting tool. The third group, the Thunder Lightning Palace which focused on training disciples of body lightening and quick attacks. While the last group is called the Wajra Shiva Palace which trains students using high-level kanuragan studies.

The most disciples were in the Divine Body Palace, because their body forging did not recognize any disciple talent. While the disciples of Wajra Shiva Palace are the least because they only educate a few tens of talented students.

In the main porch of the Roof of Heaven Palace which is a gathering place for the elders and the highest leaders of the palace, dozens of people were sitting neatly lined up like pisowanan the rulers of the region against the king.

The leader of the Sky Roof Palace, Linggakancana or better known as the King of the Sky Roof Palace sits in the seat of the highest leader of the palace. Furthermore, there were 4 lower seats that sat on the four elders of the Sky Roof Palace who were also the leaders of the four palace groups. They are Ragamulya as the leader of the Palace of the Body of Gods, Ki Buyut Karta as the head of Tameng Langit Palace, Jaluwisesa the leader of Thunder Lightning Palace and Sukmawijaya who led Wajra Shiva Palace.

Beside the four leaders, there were some main disciples of the four leaders. Linggakancana itself has 4 private disciples who are the future leaders of the Sky Roof Palace.

Linggakancana sat quietly staring around her. The banners of the Sky Roof Palace appear to decorate the corner of the main residence foyer. The old man in 6th Warsa was more of an authoritative look with a sky-blue colored robe made of fine silk cloth.

"Brothers, guys,

In approximately 2 weeks we will hold a test of the martial skills of young warriors from all padepokan and silat colleges in Tatar Pasundan.

From our last meeting, all the invitations have been spread all the way to Sapta Arga Hermitage on Mount Halimun.

I want to know how we prepare for this great event" Linggakancana said as she stroked her whitened beard.

"The Sky Garden Palace reported to the King of the Sky Roof Palace that the place of the gladi had been arranged on the field on the west side. As for the stage of honor and the audience, we will start planning tomorrow", Ki Buyut Karta bowed her body to Linggakancana.

"We from the Palace of the God Body, have prepared foodstuffs for the participants as well as the honored guests present. If it is not a miscalculation, everything is sufficient for all of us" Ragamulya, the leader of the God Body Palace, said quickly.

"Good, may not disappoint our guests of honor. As one of the three largest silat colleges in Tatar Pasundan, we must maintain our dignity.

Jaluvisesa, Sukmavijaya..

How are the participants prepared from our college? I want our college to be the champion in the martial ability test this time", said Linggakancana while turning to Jaluwisesa, the leader of Thunder Lightning Palace and Sukmawijaya as the head of Wajra Siwa Palace.

"We have selected 10 participants of this martial skill test, Your Majesty the King..

3 From Wajra Shiva Palace, 3 from Thunder Lightning Palace, 2 participants from Tameng Langit Palace and 2 people from the God Body Palace", Jaluwisesa said while bowing his body.

"How could his division be so unfair, Jaluwisesa? Tameng Langit Palace was no weaker than Thunder Lightning Palace", Ki Buyut Karta instantly stood up from her seat.

"True, the Palace of the God Body is also as powerful as the Shiva Wajra Palace which only has a few disciples. Why are more of their students competing?", the large, muscular variety rose from the seats.

"That's because people only have muscles do not have a brain, Ragamulya", said Sukmawijaya while opening his fan. The sturdy man with clean and neat makeup is indeed less like with Ragamulya who only rely on body strength.

"What did you say? You want to try my fist, Sukmawijaya?", Ragamulya snorted loudly while preparing to fight.

"Enough!

Do you not look at me as the King of the Sky Roof Palace ha?", cried Linggakancana as he tapped his staff on the ground. Suddenly the ground shook like an earthquake. The building rattled until it frightened everyone.

Ragamulya and Sukmawijaya instantly fell silent and immediately returned to their respective seats.

"The ration of each college is ten participants and it's already its rules. In order to cultivate a sense of justice among all of you, then each of the palaces chose two of the best disciples to join the test of ability. The remaining two will be filled by my students.

Do you understand?", Linggakancana looked around her.

"We understand and obey the King of the Sky Roof Palace", everyone who was there bowed their bodies to the Linggakancana.

After the meeting, Linggakancana summoned her two private disciples inside her residence. The two Linggakancana private disciples named Ewangga and Ambetkasih are planned to be representatives of the martial ability test from the Sky Roof Palace.

"Both of you, increase your training to compete with the other disciples of the Sky Roofing Palace College. Take the first prize and defeat all participants from other universities..

Above all, I want you to defeat the students of Ciremai Mountain School" Linggakancana said with a fiery spirit.

"We understand the teacher", said Ewangga and Ambetkasih together. Linggakancana smiled with satisfaction at the words of his two students. The Linggakancana view gazed towards the reddened twilight sky in the western sky. He remembered the events of 2 decades ago when he was instructed by his teacher to go on a journey to seek experience in the martial universe of Tatar Pasundan.

At that time the young Linggakancana had clashed with the young Mangkun Tapa for misunderstanding when he saw the daughter of Mangkubumi Galuh Pakuan in the bopong by young Mangun Tapa in a fainting state.

"Take him off, you bastard!

You dare to be rude to the daughter of Mangkubumi Galuh", shouted the young Linggakancana who had just arrived at that place.

"Who is insolent?

I just helped him from these robbers", said young Mangun Tapa who still carries Mangkubumi Galuh Pakuan's daughter named Dyah Ratnasari.

"The lie!

Obviously you're the villain. You're still evading, too. Put the girl down if you want to live", the young Linggakancana stared intently at the young Mangun Tapa.

If I say no yes no. Watch your mouth if you don't want me to beat up", young Mangun Tapa rose in blood outraged by the charge of the young Linggakancana.

"Devil bastard!

You must be taught a lesson", after cursing young Mangun Tapa, young Linggakancana darted quickly towards the young man who was still carrying the body of Mangkubumi's daughter Galuh Pakuan.

The young linggakancana immediately threw a blow towards the young Mangun Tapa. The long-haired youth quickly dodged while twisting his body. As a result, Dyah Ratnasari's legs in his bopong hit the back of the young Linggakancana.

Bhhuuukkkkhh!

The young man's linggakancana tumbled forward but the young man immediately made a somersault move. He immediately turned his body and back darted towards the young Mangun Tapa while sweeping the opponent's legs. Young Mangun Tapa lifts one leg avoiding the young Linggakancana leg sweep, then quickly the foot drops and the right leg kicks towards the young Linggakancana head.

Dhiieeeessshh!!

Quickly, the young Linggakancana crossed both hands to the front of the head resisting the attack of the young Mangun Tapa. The strength of Mangun Tapa's kick made Linggakancana pushed back a few steps back.

The Sky Roof Palace disciple immediately stood up. He immediately spread out his two hands which quickly cupped in front of his chest. A blue ray of sky was created in both hands of the young Linggakancana.

"You are the son of students from the Roof of Heaven Palace" said Mangun Tapa to see the science of power issued by Linggakancana.

"Haha..

Are you scared, huh? It is too late to give up the bastard!", cried the young Linggakancana who gathered all her energy in order to bring out the Ajian Sky Site.

Phuihhh..

"Who is afraid to fight a swordsman like you? I'll make you see my ability", young Mangun Tapa immediately put Dyah Ratnasari's body under a shade tree not far from the place.

Quickly, Mangun Tapa clasped his hands in front of his chest. Mangun Tapa's eyes were tightly shut and the young man's mouth was muttering a spell. A streak of blackish red light enveloped the entire body of the young Mangun Tapa. A giant 4-headed shadow with eight hands came out of Mangun Tapa's body. He used Ajian the God of Hell.

The young crowbar instantly smashed his right hand. A blue ray of sky shot towards Mangun Tapa. The long-haired young man from Ciremai Mountain immediately opened his fiery red eyes while smashing his right hand. Simultaneously, a red giant shadow darted rapidly towards the blue rays of the Linggakancana sky.

Rrrrrrrrrrr!!!

The young linggakancana bounced far back. That Sky Roof Palace disciple immediately vomited fresh blood. As the young Mangun Tapa was about to dart, Dyah Ratnasari's voice stopped its pace. Princess Mangkubumi Galuh Pakuan was apparently aware of his stupor.

"That's enough, though,

There is no need to fight anymore Mangun Tapa" Dyah Ratnasari said loudly. Mangun Tapa immediately approached the beautiful girl.

"Daughter Gusti,

He is trying to be rude to you" Linggakancana said stammeringly. The tightness that attacks the chest makes it difficult to breathe.

"Speak what are you? This is the man my father told me to escort me back to Kawali. You don't accuse the non-false..

Mangun Tapa, let's go", hearing Dyah Ratnasari's orders, young Mangun Tapa nodded in understanding. Before he and Dyah Ratnasari darted away, Mangun Tapa had a cynical smile at Linggakancana.

"Wake up Tapa, your name will be remembered for long" cried the young Linggakancana while clenching tightly his hands.

Mmmmmm...

The linggakancana let out a cold snort as the shadow of the past flashed across his mind.

'If I can't repay my heartache, let my disciple who humiliated your disciple later be tested in martial skills later, Mangun Tapa', Inner Linggakancana while standing from his seat. The man with a long beard rushed into his house.

That morning, the morning sun shone brightly in the eastern sky. A breeze of dry wind from the southeast cooled the atmosphere. Approaching the dry season, the atmosphere is indeed hotter than some of the previous full moon. Fortunately, many large trees on the right left of the connecting road between Kawadoan Lingga headed towards the Duchy of Saunggalah.

Saunggalah Duchy, or rather Mandala Saunggalah is a state territory of the Kingdom of Galuh Pakuan which was then ordered by Prabu Darmasikan Sanghyang Vishnu. Mandala Saunggalah is ordered by the son of Prabu Darmasisksa named Prabu Purana.

The city of Manggala Saunggalah is quite prosperous with residents who are mostly farmers, farmers, hunters and traders between regions in Galuh Pakuan who have united with Sunda under the leadership of Darmasiska Prabu Sanghyang Vishnu.

After leaving the house of Resi Pucukwesi in Kawadoan Lingga, Arya Pethak and her friends headed towards Manggala Saunggalah. This time their journey was smooth without experiencing any meaningful obstacles.

Once in Mandala Saunggalah City, Aki Soma directed the group to a large house guarded by several soldiers. The house is the home of one of the high officials of Saunggalah Palace who rank Nunambursi or the level with Tumenggung in Singhasari kingdom.

Right at noon they got there, Aki Soma instantly jumped down from his horse along with his four followers. Arya Pethak, Anjani and Klungsur also came down.

"Aki, jigana destination Aki Soma atos dugi na. Hapunten, the papisah in dieu Aki. Urang bade neruskeun destination ka Mount Ciremai (Aki, it looks like the destination of Aki Soma has arrived. Sorry, we're splitting up here Aki. We will continue the journey to Mount Ciremai)", said Anjani say goodbye to Aki Soma.

"Ah, seagrass we will lift Eneng Geulis..

Hatur nohun help na. Aki Soma doakeun, mugi mugi wilujeung dugi destination (Ah then good bye Eneng Geulis. Thanks for the help. Aki Soma prayed good luck to the destination)", Aki Soma bowed her body a sign she was grateful to Arya Pethak, Anjani and Klungsur.

The three travelers from Kadiri jumped on their horses, after getting a clue to Mount Ciremai. They drove the horse west. After filling their stomachs in a food stall, they continued riding towards the foot of Mount Ciremai.

When they arrived at Karang Mulya Village, a beautiful 2-decade-old girl wearing a yellowish green shirt stopped their pony foot steps near the village gate.

"O stranger, stop you!"
