The Swordsman

CHAPTER XLIX

"Ling.... Is that really you..? What are you doing here..?" ask the king of Dewayana.

"Yes majesty.. How could your majesty be here..? Brother Dyah... Let me see his condition first.."

"It's an extremely ferocious black Cobra poison. In a moment, I'll make the antidote." said concubine Ling..

"Kka. you.. You're still my son-in-law alive..?" asked King Dewayana while hugging his son-in-law..

"True father.I am Nawang Sari, father-in-law, wife of Prince Kusuma." replied daughter Nawang Sari.

"How are you still alive..? At that time obviously² your body was also brought to the palace, even I myself who presided over the funeral ceremony.." king Dewayana was confused.

Princess Nawang told the king of Dewayana in detail all the events he experienced. Also about his meeting with his son Raden Sanjaya. Continuing with concubine Ling, while making an antidote to the ferocious poison from the black cobra, Consort Ling also told the true events until she could reach the Heavenly Dragon store. Prince Himawan also apologized to the king of Dewayana for what he had done. With great heart the king of Dewayana forgave all that his son had done.

Then it was Ki Sumali's turn to also tell his journey on the plinth of Purba with Raden Sanjaya. Hearing that his grandson was still alive, the king of Dewayana was very happy, he hoped to meet his grandson soon.

"So my grandson Sanjaya is alive..?" king Dewayana was very happy.

"Who suddenly claimed to be my grandfather..? How many more people will be my grandfather..?" said Raden Sanjaya who suddenly was in the pendopo.

Everything in the pendopo turned towards Raden Sanjaya.

"Who is this young man..? I didn't even feel his presence." - Inner ki Sasongko.

"Sanjaya.. You've come home my son..? This, he is the king of Dewayana, the father of prince Kusuma your father and mother-in-law." said princess Nawang.

"Is that really Sanjaya..? He is so handsome and dashing, very similar to Kusuma." said king Dewayana while hugging Raden Sanjaya.

"So you're my grandfather..? I'm sorry cake, I don't recognize you." said Raden Sanjaya and saluted.

"Here you go. Grandpa won't blame you. It's only natural that you don't recognize grandfather, the wrong grandfather. You know, you used to never play with your grandfather, he was too busy with royal affairs.."

"Oh yes, that lying there is your grandmother, the woman who gave birth to your father. Your grandmother was exposed to a very ferocious black cobra poison." said the king of Dewayana while pointing at Princess Dyah Ayu who was being treated by concubine Ling.

"Black cobra poison..? how did you get a bite from a black cobra..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"Suddenly our hut was attacked by thousands of black cobras. It seemed like they were led by a dark green and horned cobra. Luckily Ki Sasongko and Ki Samijan quickly came to our aid." replied the king of Dewayana.

After Consort Ling finished giving the antidote to the poison, raden Sanjaya with the mantra of kalachakra helped conquer the malignant poison that was in the body of daughter Dyah Ayu. Slowly, a thick green steam comes out of the pores of the feet of princess Dyah Ayu. The smell of poison was very pungent when the snake bite marks released a blackish-green liquid. Slowly the purplish blue color at the foot of the daughter Dyah Ayu gradually disappeared and returned to its original state. Princess Dyah Ayu slowly regained her senses and opened her eyes and saw Raden Sanjaya in front of her channeling her inner energy.

"Thank you young man, did you help me..?" ask Dyah Ayu's daughter..

"No need to thank me, Grandma. It is my duty to help others. Actually Ki Sasongko and Aunt Ling were the ones who had helped grandma, I was just helping." replied Raden Sanjaya.

Princess Dyah Ayu then looked around.

"True mom. It's me Nawang Sari. And that handsome young man in front of you is Sanjaya, Prince Kusuma's son." said Princess Nawang Sari, hugging her mother-in-law.

"Sanjaya my granddaughter. You're so handsome and dashing now. Not like your childhood was funny. But how did you guys get to be here..? And Brother Ling, how is sister ............." Princess Dyah did not continue her words as the king of Dewayana immediately interrupted her conversation.

"My wife. I'll tell you later. Now rest, restore your condition first." said king Dewayana.

"Empress, drink this potion, it will restore your condition immediately." said Ki Sumali while giving a bottle containing energy recovery potion.

"Grandfather.. Where's Miss Wulan..? Has he mastered the book of the holy sword..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"Kilisuci sword movement and the kilisuci fist have been very well mastered by Miss Wulan. But Miss Wulan has yet to understand the magic mantra of kilisuci. I hope Raden can help him." said Ki Sumali.

Raden Sanjaya immediately met Sekar Wulan in the backyard of the Sky Dragon to help him understand the magic spell of the holy sword book. Unlike the book of kalimasada which each jurus has a magic spell, the book of the holy sword has a magic spell that can be absorbed by his energy when someone has mastered the moves in the book of the holy sword.

Word for word is explained by the Sanjaya raden so that Sekar Wulan can easily understand the meaning of the kilisuci mantra. In a few days Sekar Wulan had understood the meaning of the mantra and he was ready to absorb the energy of the holy mantra.

"Finally Miss Wulan managed to understand the magic spell of the book of the holy sword. How much Miss Wulan can absorb that magical incantation energy, all depends on her physical strength and soul. I will have Grandpa Sumali make potions to strengthen Miss Wulan's physique and soul.." Inner Raden Sanjaya.

"Raden. Then when can I start absorbing his energy..?" ask Sekar Wulan.

"Patience miss, it takes physical strength and soul so that the energy of the spell can be absorbed to the maximum. I will ask Grandfather Sumali to make potions to strengthen your physique and soul." replied Raden Sanjaya.

"Now we should go to the pendopo. It looks like they are gathering there and I feel that Sabdawala's grandfather has also come.." continued Raden Sanjaya.

"Good raden.." replied Sekar Wulan while following the Sanjaya raden to the pendopo.

Meanwhile in the pendopo of the Sky Dragon, Begawan Sabdawala came almost simultaneously with ki Harso. All were surprised by the arrival of Sabdawala especially Ki Sasongko.

"Teacher... salute from students please let the teacher accept it." said Ki Sasongko.

"Hehehehe... Wake Sasongko. I have received your salute." replied the Sabdawala scholar

"Baginda king of Dewayana, salute mehayurkan." said Begawan Sabdawala and Ki Harso.

"No. not begawan. However you are the father of the duke Bumiaji in-law of my son Kusuma. I don't deserve your respect, I'm the one who should respect you. To me you are my parents as well, what sin would I accept if I dared to receive a salute from you Begawan..?" said King Dewayana while bowing his body.

Quickly, the Sabdawala retainer restrained the body of king Dewayana..

"Don't majesty.. If your majesty cannot accept my respect, how can I receive the respect of your majesty..?" said Begawan Sabdawala while hugging the king of Dewayana.

Raden Sanjaya is deeply moved by the relationship between the families.

"It turns out that before the ambush, the relationship between the father and mother was very close. Black Skull, you must pay all these debts. I will crush you all down to the roots, so that no one else will experience the way I have.." Inner Raden Sanjaya.
