The Musafir
The Attack
MANTINGAN flashed avoiding the lunge of water that formed the palm that led to him. He then sent a counterattack in the form of a Blood Wind Site to the Sixth Cagak. Unfortunately, the old warrior also managed to avoid.
The mantle continued to flash over the surface of the water, from wave to wave, while exchanging attacks with the Sixth Cagak. Their fight was not using any weapons at all, but magic!
The mantan knows where the superiority of the opponent lies in the magic of waterbenders; while its superiority itself lies in the art of swordsmanship.
But after the Sword Kiai Kedai was broken, the Mantingan had no other choice but to face the Sixth Cagak by using magic. For it is very unlikely that if he attacks with his bare hands, it will only take his life in a very ridiculous way.
It can be admitted that all this time he was not too active in studying and practicing magic. Although at first he was very interested in learning witchcraft to ask the books of magic to Chairman Rama.
The books contain about the magic related to the wind, namely the Blood Wind Tread, the Cleaving Wind Force, the Science of Whispering Wind, and the Science of Controlling the Wind.
Although not studying it vigorously, Mantingan can master the moves and sciences well and correctly.
In the face of a Sixth Half like this, he was not too troubled but his standing was constantly suppressed. The Sixth Raven only single-handedly faced him after the expert warriors who had helped him had left with his fleet to attack. It was of course advantageous to Mantingan, but detrimental to the forces of the White Wind College and Tarumanagara.
Mantingan began to think that he had to finish this fight as soon as possible to be able to help the friendly troops afterwards.
The waves as high as ten fathoms were speeding towards him. Mantingan did not have time to dodge, because no matter how big the waves have really surrounded him. So immediately used the Science of Cleaving the Wind to repel the waves!
The mantle extended both hands forward. A swirl of wind whirled around his body as the waves came crashing down, not letting even a drop of water touch Mantingan's robe.
The great waves did not last long after the Sixth Cagak learned that such a big wave attack would not be very useful for Mantingan.
The mantle retracted its hand, instantly stopping the whirlwind that was protecting it. It again clung to the surface of the sea water which has now been completely turbulent.
The body of the Sixth Cagak was seen everywhere, it was obvious that the swordsman had multiplied his body using the Thousand God Sketch Shadowing Human Beasts. All those shadows flashed with the aim of attacking, but it was easy for the Mantingan to get rid of them all, without even expending too much of his inner strength.
“I admire your shrewdness which is rare in young warriors, but unfortunately it is not enough to defeat me at all. And enough we play around this time, we will finish you soon.”
The mantle frowned. His ears are really not wrong to hear that the Sixth Cagak uses the word “kami” in his words. In an instant, Mantingan became fully alert.
He flashed far back. Installing a considerable distance from the Sixth Cagak.
Sixth Cagak smiled widely before shouting loudly, “Come, O Fifth Cagak!”

“They have been seen!”
THE WARRIOR watching over the screen pegs cheered as he signaled with his torch to the Flying Fish on the bridge.
The Flying Fish nodded its head before it began to give orders to its troops below, but it still maintained its calm demeanor.
Although the North River Angel is still undiscovered and demands to be found soon, the Flying Fish must still prioritize the battle that has arrived before the eyes. Flying Fish and Samodra Seashells are the spearhead for the combined fleet.
Although Kina rebelled and insisted on waiting for the North River Angel in Kelewang Samodra, it was fortunate that Cana was not stubborn this time, even successfully persuading Kina to move to the physician ship.
“Tenaknya,” said the boy to his sister amid the hustle and bustle of war preparations. “Kakanda Maman is not a weak swordsman, he will definitely manage to find Big Brother Sasmita in no time. We both have to move to another ship, this is our way to help Kakanda.”
Kana squeezed the handle of the sword that was scented on her waist belt. In his mind, the teenage boy was determined to protect Kina even if it was worth his life. After the Northern River Angel disappeared, the only person she had to protect was Kina.
Together with a swordsman, they both boarded a canoe to go to the doctor's ship. From a distance to the south there, there were many small yellow dots that were like flying fireflies. How Cana knew that the yellow dots were the torches of many enemy ships.

“Viewang Samodra has signaled.”
CAKRAWARMAN muttered softly as if only to himself the murmur was shown, although it was clear that Officer Hanung was right next to him.
“We need to be faster,” he said again, this time in a louder voice. “Denawa Netting Line is still not completed.”
“True, Paduka.”
Cakravarman raised his hand. “Do not call me by such a designation. Although I am the younger brother of Sri Maharaja Punawarman, but still I am not very helpful in the course of the government.”
Officer Hanung cleared his throat several times before continuing, “What should we do, Mahapatih?”
Cakravarman smiled faintly. “Sign others to move faster, and I hand over all the preparations on this deck to Officer Hanung.”
After saying so, Cakravarman stepped away. Officer Hanung furiously stopped him immediately.
“There is something else you need, Officer?” Cakrawarman asked with a frown on his forehead.
“Ah, no!” The old man flicked his hands with a nervous smile on his wrinkled lips. “I just wanted to ask. Where does Mahapatih go?”
“I'll check the weaponry on the base deck. I heard that some of the arrow carts on this ship are damaged.”
“Ah, it is true that, Mahapatih. But Mahapatih should not need to dirty hands to take care of such unimportant things. Let me just ask the other soldiers to handle.”
“It doesn't matter?”
At that instant, Officer Hanung broke out in cold sweat. I realized how wrong his words were. But still secure his fate, because Cakravarman chose not to bother him.
“I'll stick to the base deck, Officer. The squad needs my presence there.” Cakravarman smiled faintly before stepping back to leave the bridge.
Officer Hanung swallowed his saliva. He did not attempt to stop the Cakravarman once more, for surely such a thing would cause great suspicion!
