Jendam Langit bowed, followed by Ankara Patih who jumped high in the air.
“We must teach him a lesson, Let Heaven. Our anger has risen. He also injured Sadewa Pasha which means breaking rule number three of the college. Anyone who injures another student outside the official festival or fight session, he has the right to die, whatever the conditions!”
“Keep attacking him with your arrows, Ankara! Let him off guard so that my attack hits his neck!”
A stomp of Ankara Patih's feet caused dust to scatter in the air. This was deliberately done to reduce the visibility of Pinadjut Anom. “Your time is seven seconds!”
The focusing of the energy on the two feet of Heaven's Jendam made the ground tremble. He acts like a frog demon with a bitten sword. This attack focused on timeliness while releasing energy from the two soles of the foot.
In the count of four, Jendam Langit shot rapidly into the air just as Pinadjat Anom focused on fending off Ankara Patih's Blue Fire Arrow.
Trang!
Trang!
Trang!
The sound of two iron swipes sounded loud.
Nnnnope. It's more than two swords. There were four swords clashing against each other, which meant, there was someone appearing amidst the dust.
The famous Ki Jagaraksa, who never spoke, suddenly appeared. His task was to watch over the outer side of the Hundred Swords Valley. Although very cold, Ki Jagaraksa is notoriously sadistic and has zero tolerance for anyone who breaks the rules.
“Solve your affairs at the Demon Flower Festival!” Ki Jagaraksa disbanded everything.
His status was indeed an elder of two, but according to the majority of the disciples of the Hundred Swords Valley, he was the strongest elder who had once defeated three giant demons in just two slashes.
Ki Jagaraksa's main strength is in his sword named Jalakumbang.
The sword with a very long and heavy size can split into two medium-sized swords and each blade turns black.
In the swordsman world, there were some swords that were notoriously sacred because the blades turned black by themselves. All of that is caused by three things, one of which is experienced by Ki Jagaraksa.
The competition was witnessed by various dragon-level warriors, the strongest rank warriors in the world.
The royal envoy, the head of the college, the founder of the sect, to the swordsman from the opposite island were present to congratulate Sarip Saranjana for his success in making swords of the highest quality.
When he came down from the top of the tower, Sarip Saranjana vomited blood. There were many sword incisions on his back and stomach.
“The Sword of Jalakumbang makes a tantrum. She's looking for tumbal.” Raden Bratasena who happened to be present at the time, took a small chest with a carved seal inscribed with Javanese script.
“Dend and anger Sarip Saranjana into one with this sword. He who was once insulted by the community for not being able to make high quality swords, is now revered because of the Sword Jalakumbang. Emotions are overflowing causing this sword to be one of the cursed swords.”
Two years passed, Raden Bratasena opened a competition for those who want to have the Sword of Jalakumbang.
The condition was only one, he had to hold the sword without dropping it to the ground for five minutes. Although the terms were easy, not a single swordsman dared to try it. They know, holding the Sword of Jalakumbang is the same as death. And that's what happened to Sarip Saranjana, the swordsman.
Until the third year, eleven warriors were killed by following the competition held by Raden Bratasena. They died after struggling to endure the pain of incisions that suddenly appeared in the abdomen and back.
“Let me vent Sarip Saranjana's anger! The purpose of him creating this sword was to eradicate the black flow and the Demon Worship Sect based in the Northern part of Purwo.” A red-headed man came to meet Raden Bratasena.
“Kisanak, you must hold this sword for five minutes without dropping it to the ground. If you fail, your fate is like that of eleven other warriors. Woeful death with full wounds sayat.” Raden Bratasena tried to commemorate the swordsman.
“Sarip Saranjana is dead, but his grudges, anger, and soul live in the Sword of Jalakumbang. Eleven of them died for strength, unlike me. My goal is to follow the competition not for strength, but rather to avenge the craftsman by exterminating the Western Poison School and the Demon Exterminator Sect.”
The story of a swordsman who managed to eradicate three thousand opponents single-handedly slowly spread throughout the archipelago. They call him Jagaraksa, meaning protection and care.
Raden Bratasena then appointed him as the elder of two colleges because Ki Jagaraksa continued to beg to be appointed as a student.
To this day, Ki Jagaraksa turned his sword. It formed a whirlwind from the middle of the campfire, flying four disciples of the Hundred Swords Valley who were fighting.
“You guys who want to continue the fight, I'm ready to serve!” Ki Jagaraksa stood between Pinadjutgan Anom, Reksa, Ankara Patih, and Jendam Langit, while raising the Sword Jalakumbang high.
