The Swordsman

CHAPTER LVII

The death of the Sabdawala warrior made the alliance army lose its fighting spirit. The white flow leaders felt that their chances of winning were very small. They felt that the strategy made by Sanjaya raden had brought defeat for them.

"Are we able to defeat the black skull..? While the most highly educated Sabdawala scholars have been defeated by Ki Karto. Then how do we beat him..?" ki Mahesa asked in a broken spirit.

"True.. we have lost many members, will the efforts and sacrifices of our members be in vain..?" tell other leaders

"Raden.... will the strategy raden planned fail..? If when we first came we immediately attacked them, maybe the Sabdawala was still alive and things were not like this." said Ki Harso.

"You relax. Do you doubt the abilities of my grandson and his future wife..?" king Dewayana growled.

"True.. I witnessed for myself how the ability of Sanjaya raden. I'm sure we won't lose this battle." said Ki Sumali.

"Ki Sumali's.... Everyone knows that the Sabdawala breeders are the ones who have the highest levels here. If the Sabdawala warriors lose, let alone us..? We want to join forces with this alliance because begawan Sabdawala." said Ki Mahesa who asserted by other leaders.

"My granddaughter. Can you explain to them all this..?" ki Sumali said slowly.

Raden Sanjaya who from the beginning was silent with the noise that occurred in the alliance army tent, now spoke up.

"Do you remember our promise in the Sky Dragon store..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"Didn't we all promise the heavens and the earth that this is our battle of the dead..? Have we not promised that our soul, body and blood sacrifice for the future of our children and grandchildren..? Are you not ashamed of your fallen friends..? Didn't they also make the same promise as you..?" said King Dewayana loudly and made all speechless.

"When we see ourselves as individuals, we appear weak. But if we see ourselves as one, then we will become a great force." said Raden Sanjaya.

"If we may know, why at that time we did not directly attack the raden, as long as they did puja brata to the ruler of darkness..?" ask one of the group leaders.

"First, the condition of our tired army will bring defeat for us. However, we also do not know the situation in the royal palace, so we can not arbitrarily attack. Second, the Black Skull had infiltrated the royal army. We don't know which one was involved with the black skull and which one wasn't involved. After all, it is impossible to kill those who are not involved with the black skull. After the worship event, we know which members of the black skull and which ones are not. Third, we are not only fighting against the black skull, but what we are fighting is the wrathful angkara and the source of the wrathful angkara is the master of darkness. After the worship event, the ruler of darkness will appear and that is our real opponent." replied Raden Sanjaya.

"Don't we all feel tremendous pressure at the worship event..? Would we be able to move at that time if the Sanjaya raden did not protect us..? ki Sasongko.

Hearing Sanjaya's raden reply, Ki Mahesa finally realizes his mistake has been doubting Sanjaya's raden and almost makes the sacrifices of Sabdawala's men and alliance members go to waste.

"I'm sorry raden. I have been influenced by emotions so doubt the strength of the alliance army. I'm so stupid I can't believe we can win this battle." Ki Mahesa said.

"Who among you wants to give up and make the sacrifice of our friends also begawan Sabdawala to be in vain..?" shouted Ki Sumali

"We are ready to fight until the last blood. Raden, please forgive us for being stupid because our emotions are raden." said the Alliance.

"Everyone, rest up. We'll finish everything tomorrow. Shake your hearts, all for the future of our children and grandchildren." said Raden Sanjaya.

After the alliance forces disbanded, Raden Sanjaya went to the worship center to meditate. Raden Sanjaya entered the dimension of his soul and continued to dive to the bottom of the dimension of his soul. There Raden Sanjaya can communicate with Sang Hyang Asa.

YOUNG MAN YOU FINALLY CAME TO SEE ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DIMENSION OF YOUR SOUL.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty something." said Raden Sanjaya.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. TO DEFEAT WHEN USING CARAKA BACK. UNDERSTAND CARAKA BACK WELL THEN YOU WILL FIND THE WEAKNESS OF THE KALA.

Not had time to raden Sanjaya asked again, his consciousness had been thrown into his body again.

Raden Sanjaya repeatedly understood the meaning of caraka back in the mantram of kalimasada. He tried to understand the meaning of the caraka back more deeply while remembering the battle he had been doing with Sekar Wulan. Suddenly, Sanjaya's raden body shines like a full moon, Raden Sanjaya gains enlightenment on how to defeat the ruler of darkness.

"Darkness or darkness does not exist. Darkness is simply a state where there is no light. Man will be in a state of not getting light that is when pride mastered it. So the ruler of darkness is not the master of the darkness of the world, but the master of the dark side of man which is the result of man's own pride."

"*Ak*u must give light on my dark side, meaning I must be able to defeat my pride to defeat the ruler of darkness. Defeat ourselves until the opponent cannot defeat us." Inner raden Sanjaya.

After gaining enlightenment, Raden Sanjaya met ki Sasongko, Ki Sumali and Sekar Wulan to tell him what he had obtained.

"How is raden, what does raden call us..?" ki Sasongko.

"I have found the weakness of the ruler of darkness. Eliminate all the arrogant traits that exist within us, and realize that the ruler of darkness is also a messenger from the Creator to test man from the dark side of man, he said, that is the arrogance that is in the human heart itself." said Raden Sanjaya.

"Maybe this is why I can't beat Ki Karto. My pride always felt that being with our Master was greater than Karto." said Ki Sasongko.

"real Ki.. The most important thing is to keep walking on the path of truth, and stop the anger of anger resulting from our own pride." said Raden Sanjaya.

In the morning, as the sun rose as high as a spear, the two armies were ready to begin their battle. With a single command from each leader, the alliance army and the black skull army attacked each other. Ki Sumali and Ki Sasongko face off against Ki Karto. In a short period of time, they had exchanged dozens of attacks. Ki Sasongko who had gained enlightenment from Raden Sanjaya seemed to be more in control of the fight. Ki Sasongko's attack can read all of Ki Karto's movements. Ki Sumali was not left behind. His attack was very fast and effective not giving Ki Karto any loopholes. The Eternal Raga movement was not effective in resisting Ki Sasongko's attack

"No way..how did they become so great overnight..? My whole movement was read by them. Keparaaaattt.they did not give me a chance at all.." Inner Ki Karto.

"Father Kalimasadaa.." Inner ki Sasongko.

Knowing his opponent issued a mainstay style, Ki Karto fended off Ki Sasongko's attack with his mainstay style as well.

"Straight Tread Daraaahh...!!" yell ki Karto

DHUAAAARR...

Ki Karto bounced a dozen meters. Ki Sasongko's attack cannot be fended off perfectly by Ki Karto, resulting in Ki Karto being injured. Fresh blood seemed to flow on Ki Karto's lips. Ki Sumali immediately followed with his spear strike.

"Spear Petiiirrrr....!! shouted Ki Sumali.

Ki Karto held Ki Sumali's stance with his cleaver.

"Lash of Golok Setaaaan...!!" ki Karto unleashed all his abilities.

Ki Sumali quickly avoided the clash with the calabendana and turned his attack towards Ki Karto's foot.

JDHAAAAAARR....!!

Ki Sumali's attack made a very severe wound on Ki Karto's leg which made Ki Karto unable to stand properly.

"How did you guys get so good last night..?" ask Ki Karto.

"I'm no better than yesterday. It's just that I already know your weakness Karto. While there is an opportunity, repent Karto." replied Ki Sasongko.
