The Musafir

The Fight with Echoes

“I was forced to do just that, Gema.” The man chose to be honest. “With my hand that stayed next door, it has really lost most of my fighting ability. I had to disguise myself as a sword-wielding wielder who had never set foot on the path of martial arts, in order to avoid all the challenges of fighting downstream like a leaf falling from a dry tree in the wind of a storm. Isn't that right, Echoes? If only I had claimed to be a swordsman back then, you would have challenged me to a fight.”

“By avoiding a fight, you have violated the rules of martial arts,” said Gema Samudradvipa, which however is the undisputed truth in the unwritten rules of the martial world.

***

IT is TRUE what the Echoes have said, that in the unwritten rule of the martial world, a person who has declared himself a warrior cannot refuse or avoid the challenge of fighting. For no matter how swordsman, it is they who seek the path of return through battle. Like no other swordsman do but fight and fight to the death after finding a strong opponent.

“I have another destination.” Mantingan finally said after a long silence, if what was said came from the bottom of his honest mind.

“What is your goal besides seeking perfection?”

The mantel smiled thinly and shook his head. “Can't tell you, Friend.”

Echoes affirm his horses. “Allying Unnamed Women is a mistake that is truly unforgivable, Mantingan. Anyone knows that the woman is truly lost, as if nothing else could be more lost than her. I had to destroy you in this place and now.”

Instantly, the heart of Mantingan pounded strongly. Feelings of anxiety as well as anxiety mixed into one. He knew that the Echoes were not low-level warriors who would be easy to defeat. The murderous Eve he had had proved just that. Moreover, the current Mantang only carried his Savrinadeya Sword which was completely devoid of sharpness at all. It feels free to exercise four months in the Thousand Drops of Water. It was impossible to be able to win if not to escape the goods as quickly as possible.

But how can he escape, if Pomegranate and Tapa Balian are most likely to be the target of the next Echoes, for it has been seen that the scribe does not forgive those who are considered to have gone astray? So it was clear to Mantingan that he could not and should not escape.

So the Mantingan also prepared his horses with an Attitude to Free from Human Establishment. Although the Savrinadeya had no sharpness at all, but at least the sword could still be used to withstand attacks.

“In the end, we fight too.” Mantingan said slowly, so that it seemed only intended for himself, but he knew that his words could also be heard by Gema Samudradvipa.

Seeing the readiness of Mantingan facing the fight, Echoes immediately jumped towards him. He drew his sword forward. Splitting air!

The mantle quickly flashed to the left side. It was not a difficult thing for him to dodge the piercing attacks from the Echoes. Mantingan then attacked back by knocking his sword as soon as the body of Echoes passed right in front of him. But in fact, Gema had suspected the counterattack even before he attacked, so that's how he slapped his sword to the right side to cut Mantingan's body.

Of course the second attack from the talking swordsman had really endangered him. The mantan who was launching the attack was forced to pull back his sword to then use to resist the speed of the Echoes sword.

The fire was splashed while the two metal objects were hit with enormous power. The mantan was dragged backwards until several fathoms back, because however the Savrinadeya Sword was too small and thin when compared to the Echoes sword that had a length of one inch and a width.

Echoes made a half-circular motion to re-attack the Mantingan who had not fully recovered from that previous attack. Re-stabbed his sword crosswise, which would obviously split the Mantingan's body in two if not immediately parried or avoided!

When their movements are both stopped, that is where Gema uses them to speak. “Be my follower, and help me to crush all the thieves in Suvarnabhumi, then I will forgive you!”

“I told you that I have another purpose!” The mantan snapped loudly before pushing the sword belonging to Echoes all the way up and again gave a slash attack!

Echoes choose to avoid by flashing backwards rather than having to fend off the attack that feels will throw a mere energy, but after that he again flashed and attacked.

Until then the fight of the two warriors continues to take place with the exchange of attack after attack, step by step, greatness for the sake of prowess. Which, however, proceeds very, very quickly, as if faster than fast. The eyes of ordinary people will never be able to see the excitement of the fight, because all they can see is the greatness of shadows and fire catfish that can occur up to hundreds of times in the blink of an eye.

When it had been more than a thousand exchanges of attacks, the Mantingan who felt he had known the weakness point of the Echoes then began to release his backup ability, namely Magic Throw!

Of course Mantingan always carries his Magic Throw storage box everywhere, the new one really released when he was about to sleep Memebelah—ter except when he slept in the form of cross-legged or upside down with his head under the legs above like a bat as one of the forms of samadhi.

The reason Mantingan did not take out the Magic Throw in the first place was because he still had not found the weakness point of Gema—which turned out to be completely open just after that person raised the sword. Surely Gema would never have expected that the Mantangan had a Magic Throw, so it was completely unaware of that possibility. The mantan intends to attack him decisively, unavoidably or completely broken.

And so it was when they exchanged attacks in the air, for indeed fighting without a foothold at all, that was where the Mantingan threw two pieces of Eagle-Traping Magic Throw, which was, which then issued the characters form a large net to ensnare the body of Echoes that still hover in the air.

The giant net instantly shut the Echoes inside. The attack was so sudden that even the swordsman could not change the look on his face. The attack that had been so quick and short was resumed by an attack that was also so quick and short!

Mantingan issued five pieces of Magic Spell Eagle, which directly sent the character after character to stab the body Gema Samudradvipa. How then did the screams of pain and the sprinkling of blood, for indeed the characters that pierced the body of Echoes from all directions were able to make puncture wounds equivalent to the stab of a flying knife. So that's how the body of the Echoes is sharpened in such a way that it becomes difficult to recognize.

The mantel snatched his sword to end the suffering of Gema Samudradvipa.
