The Swordsman

CHAPTER XLVIII

Karman immediately reported to Senopati Manto and Ki Karso about all the events he had experienced in Gadungsari village. Ki Karso was unable to hide his anger after hearing Karman's story.

"Please heal me, sir. My entire kanuragan has been destroyed by that young man named Jaka Pengalasan. I really don't have the science of kanuragan anymore now." said Karman memelas

"These are...!! who had dared to underestimate the Black Skull..? Jaka Idling, who is he and what is basically he going to make calculations with the Black Skull..?" tanya ki Karto held back the anger.

"Calm Karman. I will think of a way to restore your strength again." said Senopati Manto.

"Manto. I'll bring some of the best soldiers, destroy them..!!" Ki Karto was furious.

"Silence Ki.. Shouldn't we attack them after we absorb the power of the Dark Lord..? I'm sure by then they'll be easy for us to dust.."

"Our time is near, and the collision we need is also almost complete" said Manto.

"You're right senopati. We destroy them after getting power from the Dark Lord. I will crush them to the point that they regret being born." replied Ki Karto.

"Then, we should give all the resources we have so that the preparation is finished" continued Ki Karto.

"Okay Ki. I will order all our members to move." replied Senopati Manto.

In less than ten days, Senopati Manto deployed more members of the Black Skull to prepare everything needed in the dark ritual.

Meanwhile, Sanjaya's raden arrived at Mahesa Sura, one of the padepokan led by Ki Mahesa Sura. Padepokan Mahesa Sura is one of the padepokan who also teaches his students the teachings of virtues and the way of truth. Raden Sanjaya was well received by Ki Mahesa Sura.

"This young man is not an indiscriminate youth. I must not be rash." inwardly Ki Mahesa

"I'm sorry, who is this raden and what is the purpose of raden coming to my place..?" ask Ki Mahesa.

"Good Ki.. I am Jaka Pengalasan from Padepokan Naga Langit which is in Lawean village. While my purpose in coming here is to strengthen the sense of brotherhood, I want to ask for your help." said Raden Sanjaya.

"The Sky Dragon store in Lawean village..? I just heard it, but I gladly accept this brotherly bond. Then what kind of help does raden want..?" ask Ki Mahesa.

"The Sky Dragon Shoe was indeed newly established by my grandfather, Ki Samadhi. And one of the ideals of our fellow white-flow groups is brothers."

"My request for help is that we fight the Black Skull together, because they have overstepped the mark. It is time for us to move together to annihilate the wrathful spaces in our country." replied Raden Sanjaya.

Raden Sanjaya told me everything the Black Skull had done and their purpose was to do it all. Ki Mahesa became furious at the story of Raden Sanjaya. As one of the leaders of the white stream, it is certain that his heart was moved to fight all the wrath of the people in his country.

"Well raden, it's with great pleasure that I and my students help. What's raden's plan, then..?" ask Ki Mahesa.

"I want in seven days we meet at the Sky Dragon store. Later we will discuss the strategy of facing the Black Skull together with others.."

"At this time my grandfather and Ki Harso, one of the elders from Wiji Sejati, are trying to invite others to join as well." replied Raden Sanjaya.

"If I may know, who is raden's grandfather..?" ask Ki Mahesa.

"Then I beg you to leave, I must immediately return to the Sky Dragon store. Maybe Ki Mahesa can also help me to invite others to join. I'm waiting for Ki Mahesa's arrival in Lawean village." said Raden Sanjaya.

"Alright raden. See you in Lawean village." replied Ki Mahesa.

"I didn't think the young man was the grandson of the Sabdawala. Turns out you're still alive begawan.." Inner Ki Mahesa.

Begawan Sabdawala and Ki Harso also came to several paraphernalia and white flow groups invited them to join forces to fight the Black Skull and after that they also decided to go to the Sky Dragon store in Lawean village.

With the help of Ki Sumali and princess Nawang, Sekar Wulan managed to master the moves in the book of holy swords. The cracks displayed by Sekar Wulan are so perfect. Just stay to absorb the power of the sacred mantra so that Sekar Wulan can fully master the book of the holy sword. Indeed, to memorize and demonstrate a movement, Sekar Wulan has the ability above the people in general, but not with the understanding of the mantra.

"Different from Sanjaya's raden, Miss Wulan's comprehension ability is not as good as Sanjaya's raden. Had Raden Sanjaya been here, it would probably have helped Miss Wulan a lot." said Ki Sumali.

"Why not just absorb the energy directly cake..? why do I have to understand it first..?" ask Sekar Wulan.

"The understanding of the mantra is critical to the successful absorption of the energy of the mantra itself. It is important that Miss Wulan memorize all the mantras in this book first." replied ki Sumali.

"Good Kek.." replied Sekar Wulan.

A short while later, a golden eagle landed on the courtyard of the Heavenly Dragon. The arrival of the golden eagle made the Sky Dragon splash into a frenzy. Hearing the commotion in the front yard, Ki Sumali immediately headed towards the courtyard to deal with whatever happened.

By carrying Dyah Ayu's daughter, king Dewajana came down followed by Ki Sasongko and others. Ki Sumali knew the king of Dewayana very well, then looked down to pay his respects to the king of Dewayana.

"Please my majesty, I do not know that your majesty is coming." said ki Sumali saluted.

"Aren't you Prince Kusuma's bodyguard, as I recall, there are three bodyguards and my grandson Sanjaya. Where are they..?" ask the king of Dewayana.

"Yes majesty. Sumali's servant, Prince Kusuma's bodyguard, the two servant friends, Ki Joyo and Ki Tejo had been killed by the Black Skull as they ambushed us in this village. While raden Sanjaya is not currently here." replied ki Sumali.

"Later I'll ask you Ki. But please save my wife, she was bitten by a cobra." said king Dewayana.

Then they entered the pendopo of the Sky Dragon. Ki Sumali carefully examined the feet of daughter Dyah Ayu.

"This poison is so vicious. If there was no inner strength to hold back the spread, perhaps princess Dyah would not have survived."

"I'm not sure my potion can cure Dyah Ayu's daughter." said Ki Sumali.

"Is not the Sabdawala scholar here Sumali..? Maybe the teacher can remove the poison." said Ki Sasongko.

"From the letter I received from Raden Sanjaya, the three of them, Guru, Ki Harso and raden Sanjaya, were, it is currently contacting several pieces of the white stream to be able to join us against the Black Skull." replied Ki Sumali.

The atmosphere in the pendopo was very tense, the condition of the princess.Dyah Ayu also worsened. A pungent smell came out from the feet of the daughter Dyah Ayu. King Dewayana became panicked and made the atmosphere in Padepokan pendopo become increasingly tense.

Hearing the commotion in the pendopo, Consort Ling and Princess Nawang came out to see the situation in the pendopo. King Dewayana was very surprised to see Consort Ling was also in the Sky Dragon store. Even more surprised when he found out his daughter-in-law, Princess Nawang Sari was still alive and also in the Sky Dragon store.
