The Jerky Dragon Sword Swordsman

By Ganendra

After the battle in the Duchy of Ngrowo. Uraga and his subordinate demons returned to the Peak of the Jerky Mountain. A person wearing all black clothes interfered in the fight between Uraga and Ganendra. Now a black-clothed figure is seen walking among the lush wilderness. Look around. Once it feels safe. He clenched one of his hands in the chest. Using *Rupa Malih Present*. Suddenly the black clothes he was wearing disappeared and changed with the oversized clothes of a patih.

Wearing a snake-shaped arm clade. On his head he wears jewelry. The chest had snake scales. Her hair was long and wavy. Sangar's face was clearly visible under the moonlight. This person is none other than Patih Wagindra. Patih the snake demon kingdom. The right hand of the Dragon Jerky Snake King. I don't know what the reason is that he meddled in the fight between Ganendra and Uraga. Soon enough, Patih Wagindra turned into a black ray and returned to the stealth realm.

At a waterfall. A handsome young man in stout form was practicing martial arts. A wooden board he put on the water. The young man tried to climb the board. So that I can stand on it. But many times he tried to fail. The board was not strong to support his body. That young man was none other than Ganendra. He began to get upset and hit the wooden board.

"Why do I always fail!!!" Ganendra shouted in annoyance.

Not long ago. Someone flew up and lightly jumped to and fro. Just stand on the water flow. That person was none other than Mpu Wiyasa, Ganendra's teacher. Mpu Wiyasa then sat on a wooden board. Then watch Ganendra closely.

"Ngger, nothing is easy to master. Use your mind and heart. Not anger. True science comes from the heart and patience." Mpu Wiyasa gave a tip. He saw Ganendra was indeed a potential young man. But more controlled by anger and impatience. To be able to learn.

Ganendra was silent. His body was soaked because of several times splashing with water. The coldness of the waterfall that forms a small lake he did not reveal. The young man was determined to master true science. Control the strange power that was within him. Ganendra then took a deep breath. Observe the wooden planks floating in front of him. Suddenly a small leaf flew right on the board. A bird flew low and landed on the board. The bird nimbly jumped to and fro. Walking without weights on boards placed on the surface of the water.

The young man watched closely. Birds are agilely walking on the board. Regardless of the board it will fall or not. So, all along the way that got in the way was such thinking. So Ganendra closed his eyes. Then use *Ajian Saipi Angin*. It floated in the air. Cleans all thoughts that burden him. Slowly he set his foot on the board. Then walk slowly. Draining the energy in both of his feet. Then move the wooden board with deep energy. As a result the wooden board launched on the water. Mpu Wiyasa who watched reviewed a smile. A song sounded in the distance.

*Nowning the angkara*

*Akarana karenan mardi siwi*

*Sinawung resmining song*

*Sinuba sinu masterpiece*

*Clean pakartining ngilu luhung*

*Tumprap ning kebudah Jawa*

*Ageming aji*

(Success yourself from the Angkara

When I will educate my son

Packed in the beauty of poetry

Decorated to look beautiful

For this goal of sublime science to be achieved

it happened in Java

Religion of leaders)

On a hill not far from the waterfall. Eyang Sabdo Palon noticed Ganendra who was practicing. A smile was seen from an old yet wise face.

"Ngger... I await your arrival at Kedhaton Majapahit."

...****************...

One hot afternoon. Located in the Duchy of Ngrowo. Three young men were facing Duke Dewananda.

"Worship pangabekti, I give it to Duke Dewananda."

The three young men were none other than Ganendra, Opal and Gayatri. Sitting cross-legged in front of the ruler of the Duchy of Ngrowo. They were sent by Mpu Wiyasa to fulfill the invitation of the Duke. Duke Dewananda who sat on a slap of badges. With garwa paddy. Duke Dewananda and his wife stared at Ganendra without blinking. Observe from head to toe. Both of them were silent as if hiding something.

"Yes.. Yep... I accept your worship. From the bottom of my heart, say thank you for the help of kisanak and nini."

Garwa pammi the Duke just stared at Ganendra deeply. Ganendra became clumsy from being stared at like that. Duke Dewananda cleared his throat briefly so that his wife would not look at Ganendra in such a way. The Duke's wife melted the mood by opening the conversation.

"You guys are so great. At this young age has become a demon exterminator. Seeing you, I remembered my only son. He chose to live in the region and became a demon-extinguishing warrior." said the duchess.

A tear fell on his old cheek. Ganendra witnessed it. I don't know why his heart became a train. Something was knocking in his heart. Duke Dewananda patted his wife on the shoulder.

"Dinda, this is not the time to talk about the past. Our son is with the Great God now."

"I honestly invited you here, not just to thank you. Instead of asking for help."

"What's Gusti asking for help?" ask Gayatri.

"At the southern end of the Duchy of Ngrowo there are marshes inhabited by a demon named Sakuta. It is a white-bulk demon. Sakuta often messes with the people around the swamp. I want to ask for your help to destroy Sakuta." asked the Duke of Dewananda.

Opal immediately replied, "waduh biyung!!! Tenan abot!! (\*once heavy). Gusti duke why give such a heavy duty."

Gayatri who saw Opal's behavior was impolite. Immediately clenched his hands together.

"For thousands of mercy Gusti Duke. Friends servant less uphold the tatakrama in front of the wrestling."

Duke Dewananda only smiled and did not feel offended by Opal's attitude.

"Duke Gusti, if there is a demon that messes up. Then the servant and the servant brother will gladly destroy the demon. We are merely carrying out this task not because of Gusti Adipati's request. But our desire is because we cannot see the demon race messing up in the human world" said Ganendra.

"Lha... But what if our lives are threatened Gusti!! Slave is still a high virgin." Opal responded with her funny behavior.

"The tar! Don't be disrespectful to Duke Kanjeng." snapped Gayatri.

"Lho ya biarin. Lha wong reality. Our lives can be at stake. Hemm is there no encouragement for us Gusti?" asked Opal with a grinning face.

"Get!!" Gayatri was visibly upset by her best friend's behavior. Trying to hit Opal. But Ganendra, sitting between the two, held Gayatri's hand.

"Adhi endure your frustration. Opal is not serious. We're at Kanjeng Adipati's apartment."

The Duke smiled knot.

"Ha!! Aha!! Regarding rewards, there is certainly no need to worry. If you guys succeed. I'll give you a lot of gold pieces and entertain you."

Opal was immediately excited to hear the gift offered by Duke Dewananda.

"The Duke is of a noble heart. The great deity endowed the wrestling with health and longevity."

Opal imagined he would gain a lot of wealth and eat as much. But Ganendra's voice definitely corrupted Opal's imagination.

"Even Gusti, the servant and the others did not expect anything in return. For us to help others who are in trouble is a great gift." Ganendra refused wisely.

"This voluntary work is called ckck." Opal's face immediately pouted.

Everyone there laughed. Watch the funny look on Opal's face. There was no sense of darkness swallowing the Moon. Duke Dewananda and his wife watched Ganendra, Gayatri and Opal walk out of the pasewan. Their present destination was the swamps at the southern end of the Duchy of Ngrowo.

"Kanda... I feel that young man named Ganendra... Could it???"

"I feel the same way too. So I ordered him to go look for Sakuta's demon. If he manages to defeat Sakuta and return safely. I'll give Ajian Bolo Sewu to him. If Ajian Bolo Sewu is fused with the young man. Then there's no doubt he's our grandson."

Duke Dewananda's wife just stared at Ganendra's back which was getting away. Why can Duke Dewananda say that Ganendra is his grandson? What is the secret behind all this?
