The Swordsman

CH2.4 Iron Badge Lies

Raden Sanjaya returned to the inn. The wife greeted him with a feeling of relief.

"What is tajeng..? Did something happen while I was away..?" raden Sanjaya whispered.

"Pandu Bergolo is looking for you. He seems to have bad intentions for us. He dared to ask me to accompany him to a drink, when I clearly said that the leg was sleeping. Tomorrow morning he is waiting for us to go to the royal city." said Sekar Wulan growled.

"Hhmmmmm. Tomorrow we'll make him regret what he did. I've got a lot of information, and again the black power is behind this. We have to finish it, it is our duty to eradicate the anger in this earth." said Raden Sanjaya.

Raden Sanjaya then told all the information he got to Sekar Wulan. There was a furious feeling painted on Sekar Wulan's face.

"Is all this the master of darkness..? Didn't he lose the battle in Kawi kingdom..?" ask Sekar Wulan.

"Not.... Durga, the mother of the ruler of darkness is behind all this. Durga is the queen of all deceit, and also the ruler of the dark side of the world." replied Raden Sanjaya.

"Then what's the plan for kakang..? Will the kakang follow Pandu Bergolo to the royal city..?" ask Sekar Wulan.

"They won't take us to the royal city. I'm sure around this village there's a Blood Axe base. Until we find their base, we just follow Pandu Bergolo's game. Tomorrow they will plan something bad. I'm sure I'm taught what to do later." said Raden Sanjaya.

The night passed quickly, and the morning came. Pandu Bergolo was waiting for Raden Sanjaya and Sekar Wulan in front of the inn. Pandu Bergolo's men have also prepared with their plans.

"Diajeng drink this first. It's a thousand poison potion given by aunt Ling." said Raden Sanjaya.

"Good kakang." said Sekar Wulan then drank the potion given by her husband.

Before long Raden Sanjaya had met Pandu Bergolo in front of the inn. Riding his horse, Raden Sanjaya and Sekar Wulan follow Pandu Bergolo and his men.

"Mr Pandu, where are your other men..? Looks like you brought six men yesterday, but now there are only two.." asked Raden Sanjaya.

"Oohhhh... Eeehhmmm, they returned to the royal city first to take care of all your needs later there. After joining the royal army, your life and your wife will feel no shortage." replied Pandu Bergolo.

"Oohhhhh.h turns out to be Mr. Pandu who is meticulous and considerate. I haven't even expressed my agreement to join, but Mr. Pandu has prepared everything. I'm really very lucky to meet you." replied Raden Sanjaya.

"Have it. There's no need to feel awkward. I just feel like I need to help you. I'm sure after reaching the royal city you will agree to join the royal army." said Pandu Bergolo.

They continued walking until they came to a road between the cliffs. The road that connects Polosan village with Maskumambang Mountain Region. After arriving in the middle of the journey, Jarot with his men blocked their journey.

"Hahahaha. Do you remember me..?" ask Jarot.

"Mr Pandu, if not mistaken he is the man who fought with you in front of the diner yesterday.. If it's not wrong, it's Jarot. What's going on with them..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"Calm Jaka. I will take care of this matter." said Pandu Bergolo as he got off the horse and approached Jarot.

"Hahahaha... how is Mr Pandu, is the plan still carried out..? I can't wait to play with that girl." said Jarot.

"Let's calm Jarot, as long as we can paralyze the young man and hand him over to Mr. Pragoto, then the woman will be ours." said Pandu Bergolo as he stood beside Jarot.

With one sign from Pandu Bergolo, Cungkring and four men iron badges blocked the Sanjaya raden from behind.

"Diajeng. Looks like we're going to get a big catch today." said Raden Sanjaya.

"I've guessed from the beginning that you're conspiring. Your fight yesterday, looks like children playing. And actually I already know your purpose." said Raden Sanjaya.

"Haha..... If you already know our purpose, why are you still following me..?" ask Pandu Bergolo.

"Because I also have a plan for you guys." replied raden Sanjaya briefly.

"That's it. Don't say most of the shit. Cungkring finish off the young man, but don't hurt the woman." Jarot ordered.

Cungkring with his poisonous iron claws advanced attacking the Sanjaya raden followed by Jarot's men and members of the iron badge. Quickly, Sanjaya's raden dodged Cungkring's attack. Sekar Wulanpun helps her husband who is being attacked by Cungkring and his friends.

TAAAAAKK.. TAAPPP... WHIIIG..

JBUUUUUGG'S.. DHUUUU.. DHEEEEESS...

Just walking for a few minutes, the ice sword belonging to Sekar Wulan separated the clungkring hand from his body. Sanjaya's kick and blow hit the stomach and chest of the Iron Badge members which made them bounce dozens of meters and unable to continue the fight.

"Yyaharrggggg.....!!!! my hand... Aarrrghhh...!!" scream Cungkring in pain.

Knowing Cungkring's hand was cut off, Jarot became very angry. He charged forward while attacking Sekar Wulan with his machete. Meanwhile Pandu Bergolo attacked Raden Sanjaya with his sword.

"You fuck.....!! I'll reply to your actions lady ja***g...!! yelled Jarot while swinging his machete.

TTRAAA... CTAAAA... JDUUUU..

Sekar Wulan fended off Jarot's machete attack with his ice sword and Sekar Wulan's kick in Jarot's stomach made Jarot retreat a few steps. Jarot again attacked Sekar Wulan. Agilely, Sekar Wulan dodged Jarot's attack with his heavy machete. Despite using a large and heavy machete, Jarot is able to attack quickly and nimble.

TRAAAAANGGG....

Sekar Wulan retreated a few steps after holding back Jarot's machete slash..

"Diajeng. Don't underestimate your opponent." said Raden Sanjaya.

"Where did you see Jaka... Your opponent is here." said Pandu Bergolo while attacking the Sanjaya raden.

SEEEEETTTT'S.. TAAAAPPP.... CTAAAAAKK

JDUUUGG.. THE DHEEEEESSSH...

Raden Sanjaya nimbly repelled and evaded Pandu Bergolo's attack. Instead, Sanjaya's raden kick hit Pandu Bergolo's stomach and chest and made him fall down. Pandu Bergolo again attacked Raden Sanjaya with his sword. Pandu Bergolo attack faced Raden Sanjaya with his bare hands. Their fight had already gone for tens of minutes. Hundreds of moves they have taken out. Until Jarot returns to take out his manager..

"The Mauutt's Slash...!! scream Jarot..

Knowing that his opponent's attack was full of deep energy, Sekar Wulan took out his manager..

"Energy of the Kilisuci Sword.." Inner Sekar Wulan.

DHAAAAAARR... CLAAA..

Jarot's large machete broke after colliding with the ice sword. Jarotpun bounced dozens of meters and spewed out fresh blood. Having been overcome by anger, Jarot rose again and attacked Sekar Wulan with his mainstay.

"Tapak Besiiii....!!" yelled Jarot while attacking Sekar Wulan with his footprint.

Immediately Sekar Wulan swiftly fought Jarot's punch with his flagship style as well.

"Dewi Kilisuci's Boxing.." Inner Sekar Wulan.

BLAAARRR.. KRAAAAKKK...

Jarot bounced back dozens of meters. Blood came back out of Jarot's mouth and nose, signaling he was deeply wounded. Jarotpun's hand bone was shattered and made Jarot scream in pain..

"Aaaaarghh...!!! My hands hurt a lot....!!" scream Jarot.

Wulan walked over to Jarot.

"Didn't you want to have fun with me..? That's the reply of people who have bad intentions towards people's wives." said Sekar Wulan.

"You fucking woman... It turns out you're hiding your powers.. You little lady ja......" Jarot did not continue his words after the Sekar Wulan kick landed right in his mouth.

"Diajeng....no....!! You could kill him like that. Calm yourself, sit on the horse." said Raden Sanjaya.

Raden Sanjaya's remarks awakened Sekar Wulan from his anger. She immediately followed her husband's words to sit on his horse. Not long after Jarot's defeat, Raden Sanjaya also managed to knock out Pandu Bergolo.
