The Swordsman

CHAPTER L

"Grandfather.I beg to make a physical and soul strengthening potion for Miss Wulan so that her physical and soul strength increases before she absorbs the energy of the kilisuci spell.." pinta raden Sanjaya.

Ki Sumali smiled and nodded her head in understanding what Raden Sanjaya wanted.

"Grandpa begawan, how did the result of the journey of grandfather invite the clippers and white flow groups to join us against the Black Skull..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"Holy Heart Warfare and dozens of white stream paraphernalia were willing to join forces against the Black Skull. But some of them did not want to engage in a direct battle because they did not have enough resources to fight the Black Skull. But they promised to help us protect and evacuate the population to survive the impact of this fight" replied the Sabdawala.

"That's also an important cake. However, we cannot simply ignore the safety of innocent citizens. Their willingness to help protect the citizens, is something very good. Thus, our troops will not be divided and focus on fighting without worrying about residents being affected" said Raden Sanjaya.

"Such as I was raden, Tanjung Anom and Bumi Retawu are ready to join the Sky Dragon Padepokan." said Ki Harso.

"Mahesa Sura's deposition also expressed her willingness to join us. In the next two days they will arrive at the Sky Dragon store." said Raden Sanjaya.

"Sanjaya, grandfather actually still has a loyal army in the kingdom. When your grandfather was captured by your uncle, he ordered them to hide their identity. But grandfather didn't know how to give this information to them" said king Dewayana.

"Dad, if you believe me, let me tell them. The inside also still has a loyal team. I can condition them to help fight the Black Skulls" said Prince Himawan.

"Is uncle sure that they are not like other warriors joining the Black Skull..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"Relax my nephew, I assure you that not a single inner training force has joined the Black Skull. I've replaced the troops in deep training with my confidants. They are only loyal to me, not to Prince Pranoto." replied Prince Himawan.

"Hamba also still has special forces on the northern slopes of Mount Mushroom Dipa. Only Ki Sasongko and I know. The numbers were not many, only around a hundred people, but they were extremely reliable. At least their strength is at the level of an intermediate stage master." said Patih Rekso Bumi.

"Whatever small, their strength will be of great help. So uncle patih should not hesitate.."

"Alright, I believe in Uncle Himawan. But how is uncle going to get into deep training..? didn't some members of the black skull have recognized uncle..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"I'm not going to go into deep training. I'll contact Tumenggung Wiyasa, my confidant who I'm currently assigned to control the internal training. I just need someone to tell him." said Prince Himawan.

"Sarko and Parjo, you accompany the prince Himawan to prepare his army. In addition, meet Karyo, a former commander of the King's Guards Force, and ask him to gather the king's loyal former bodyguards to join the inner coaching force. Patih Rekso Bumi, go to the slopes of Mount Mushroom Dipa, prepare your special forces.." order king Dewayana.

"Okay your majesty." they answered in unison.

"Wait, Ki Among, go with them. Ki Among will send the situation around the palace with king pigeons from the college of Wiji Sejati." said Raden Sanjaya.

The meeting ended with the departure of the Himawan prince along with Patih Rekso Bumi, Ki Among, Sarko and Parjo. They rode the golden eagle of the True Wiji college.

"Miss. This will make your physique and soul strong." said Ki Sumali while thrusting a bottle containing potions.

Sekar Wulan drank the potion and immediately did meditation to absorb the essence of starch from the herb. It took several hours for Sekar Wulan to absorb the entire essence of the potion. A momentarily Wulan opened her eyes and could feel her physique and soul becoming stronger.

"I'm done absorbing the herb raden, then what should I do..?" ask Sekar Wulan.

"Now meditate, rap mantram kilisuci and live every meaning. Each mantra will clarify each movement of the moves in the book of the holy sword. Feel the energy that enters your body, absorb it and turn it into a deep energy. The power of that energy will in itself increase your inner power." said Raden Sanjaya.

Sekar Wulan sat in meditation and followed what Raden Sanjaya had said. A golden-coloured light enveloped Sekar Wulan's body, the longer it grew brighter and dazzling. Unlike when Sanjaya raden absorbs the mantram of kalimasada which causes a lightning storm, the kilisuci mantra makes the atmosphere very quiet. Time seems to be slow. The state became quiet, calm and all felt peace in his heart.

"What the hell is going on..? Why did the atmosphere become so quiet and silent..? This feeling, where did it come from..?" batin Raden Sanjaya's.

Meanwhile in the pendopo everyone felt peace in their hearts. No one is making a sound. They were hypnotized, they were swept away in the peaceful feeling they felt.

Sekar Wulan continued to try to absorb the energy. Slowly the energy of the kilisuci mantra turned into a deep power while increasing its power. The points of the Sekar Wulan chakra that were still closed, slowly opened one after another and filled with deep energy. Finally, after one day of meditating, Sekar Wulan had absorbed all the energy of the gleaming sword book incantation. Along with that, nature became normal again.

Arriving at the royal city, the Himawan prince immediately carried out the plan that had been discussed in the Sky Dragon store. Sarko immediately seeks out Commander Karyo to carry out the orders of king Dewayana.

"Commander Karyo, do you still recognize me..? I have orders from the king of Dewayana to meet you." said Sarko.

"Sarko... Are you really Sarko..? Has not the king of Dewayana died..? Then ............ aaaa.. eeee" asked Karyo stuttering.

"There's no time to tell it. For sure he is still alive and is now in Lawean village. He ordered the commander to gather the king's former loyal guard troops and immediately join the internal training forces. The situation was urgent, in the near future, the Sky Dragon Cluster and the combined white flow group would attack the Black Skull.." Sarko.

"But. isn't this going to be a big battle..? With the former army of the king's bodyguards would it be able to face the members of the Black Skull..? Many royal warriors also joined the Black Skull." replied Karyo.

"This is a life-and-death battle. Your Majesty must have calculated carefully. Do this quickly and do not let the palace know. Soon to join the internal training forces, Ki Among will explain everything." said Sarko

"Well, I will carry out his orders." replied Karyo.

While Parjo and Ki Among headed to the training in. With the badge belonging to Prince Himawan, Tumenggung Wiyasa received them well. Immediately Parjo conveyed their goal of coming to the inner training. By being in a deep training environment, Ki Among can freely observe the circumstances around the royal palace.

Wiyasa immediately met the prince Himawan at the place delivered by Parjo. After meeting the Himawan prince in an inn near the royal palace, Wiyasa, assisted by Parjo and the commander of the internal training guard, immediately prepared the internal training forces. Ki Among also immediately reported the situation inside the royal palace to Raden Sanjaya.
