The Swordsman

BAB XXXI

"Grandfather, how are you doing..? It seems like grandfather's strength has also increased, grandfather is now at the peak stage master level." prince Sanjaya felt very pleased.

"Grandfather felt much better than before. The cold poison is completely gone from grandfather's body and true grandfather has risen to the peak stage master level" Ki Sumali replied.

"But why did your level even go down..? wasn't it before that you were at the peak stage master level as well..? What exactly happened..?" asked Ki Sumali in surprise.

"No cake. I just covered my true level. Now grandfather look.." replied Raden Sanjaya with a smile.

Raden Sanjaya showed his level to Ki Sumali. Ki Sumali was unable to measure Sanjaya's raden level because Sumali's ki level was below Raden Sanjaya's level.

"What an incredible. Grandpa couldn't see your level. You should have reached the level of the eternal body.." Ki Sumali is proud of the Sanjaya Raden.

"But how can you cover your true level..?" asked Ki Sumali in surprise.

"One of the functions of the kasampurnan mantra is to cover the level of a person. Even I can cover all my levels so that people think I'm not a swordsman." replied Raden Sanjaya while closing the levels again.

"I'll teach you cake." said Raden Sanjaya.

Raden Sanjaya then taught ki Sumali how to hide his power. It did not take long, with the understanding of Sanjaya raden, Ki Sumali immediately understood what was taught by Sanjaya raden and could master the science. Anyone now only saw Raden Sanjaya and Ki Sumali as ordinary warriors at the intermediate stage teacher level.

"I give this science the name of Hanglimunan."

"Let's cake, we must immediately leave this place and find a place for grandfather to set up a Sky Dragon store according to the orders of Sang Hyang Asa" said Raden Sanjaya.

"alright.. We head to the Lawean village where we used to be together with Ki Tejo and Ki Joyo. Grandfather will set up the Sky Dragon store there." replied Ki Sumali.

"Good cake, we will together head to the Lawean village. Earlier I asked grandfather to open this big box" said Raden Sanjaya while pointing at the box in front of the stone Selo Kresno.

Before they left, Raden Sanjaya took out the book of the holy sword and stored it together with the ice sword. Then Raden Sanjaya took the sword of kalimasada which was beside the teak box where the book of the sword of the kilisuci.

"Sir, I am the sword spirit of Kalimasada. From this moment on I acknowledge the master as the owner of the sword of kalimasada."

Raden Sanjaya was very pleased with the recognition of the Kalimasada sword. Raden Sanjaya then flowed his energy into the sword of kalimasada as a sign of the bond between the raden Sanjaya and the sword spirit of kalimasada.

Inside the box that was opened by ki Sumali, there were hundreds of gold coins stored in ten pockets. With permission from the Sanjaya Raden, Ki Sumali took all the bags and kept them.

They left Hastana Hyang Asa. Before they stepped out of the gate, Raden Sanjaya turned his head back to look at Hastana Hyang Asa for the last time. But Hastana Hyang Asa suddenly looked like a collapsed building, just like the surrounding buildings. Raden Sanjaya was not at all surprised, the consciousness of Sanjaya's raden spirit knew the truth from Hastana Hyang Asa.

They continued their journey westward towards the village of Lawean. Not long after they walked, they met a group of black masks. They were the Black Skull sect men of Manto senopati to investigate the events on the Ancient pedestal.

"Stop kids..! Who are you two..?" ask the black skull.

"It should be before you ask someone's identity, you should introduce yourself first" Raden Sanjaya replied calmly.

"Suppose your mouth, young man. You don't know who we are yet. When you found out who we were, I was worried that you'd pee in your pants out of fear. Hahahahahah." replied one member to the laughter of the other member.

"If you don't want to tell me who you are, better let us go. My grandfather and I have nothing to do with you." replied Raden Sanjaya.

"I am the black mask of the Black Skull Sect. The three of them are my men." said the arrogant Black Mask.

Hearing the word Black Skull made Sanjaya's raden blood boil, but Sanjaya's raden restraining managed to anger her.

"They are just small members in the Black Skull. Well, I'll use them." - Raden Sanjaya's inner.

"That's your mouth old man."

"Get them....!!" yell black mask.

"I'll take care of the black mask, grandfather take care of his three men. Don't kill them cake." said Raden Sanjaya as he advanced to face the black mask.

SEEEEET.. SEEEEET.. TAAAAAKK.. SSREEET..

Raden Sanjaya nimbly dodged and repelled the attack of the black mask. The black mask became very furious because it felt being played by Sanjaya's raden.

"It doesn't make sense. Although this young man was at the level of a middle-stage teacher, but his speed was truly incredible." black mask inner.

Not to lose his sense of surprise suddenly a punch landed on the nape of the black mask.

NDUUUUUGG.....

"Since when has this young man been behind me..?" the inner black mask and the next fell unconscious.

At the same time ki Sumali also managed to defeat the three black mask men. Ki Sumali tied the bodies of the four of them to a tree.

"We're taking a short break here waiting for them to wake up. I'll ask them a few things" said Raden Sanjaya.

"Why don't we just go seven..?" ask ki Sumali.

"Not cake, I feel that they will be beneficial to us. It seems like they are not really bad people." replied Raden Sanjaya.

They were not aware for long. Seeing their condition tied to a tree made them afraid.

"I'm a master, I'm guilty. Let us live, sir." said the black mask..

"Pardon you guys..? Before answering my question, what is the purpose of you getting into this Ancient pedestal..?"

"The answer is honestly..!!" raden Sanjaya said firmly.

"I am merely following the orders of the leaders of my sect to search for the existence of the book of kalimasada and a person named Raden Sanjaya in this ancient place."

The black mask told everything honestly about its purpose of coming to the Ancient pedestal and all the members ordered by the leader of the Black Skull sect.

"So it's like that.. Now tell me what you know about the Black Skull sect and who the leader is.." Raden Sanjaya orders.

"I also don't really know about the Black Skull sect master. All I know is the vice chairman of the Black Skull sect is Senopati Kawi Kingdom named Manto. Maybe one of my friends knows about the Black Skull sir."

"Actually I come from Padepokan Cakrawala, a white stream padepokan. The Black Skull has destroyed my paddle and several other white stream spouts."

"Your shoes were destroyed, but you chose to join the Black Skull instead..? Where's your conscience..?!" snapped Ki Sumali..

"Members of the parish who did not join the Black Skull, were all killed on the grounds that they were treasonous against the kingdom. I can't do anything about it, because I have to support my family. Actually my conscience also refused to join, but I have no other choice Ki." replied the black mask sadly.

"Who is your friend a black mask..? then where is he now..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"He is a red mask. He used to be a bodyguard of the king, but chose to join the sect. Six more days we will gather at the entrance of the Ancient pedestal." replied the black mask.
