The Swordsman

CH2.16 The Book has been taken

TAAPPPP.. BWEEEE.. TAAAAKKK..

Surojoyo's attack was repelled and avoided by Wongso. Although younger, Wongso has a high kanuragan so that it can balance the moves issued by Surojoyo. While Ki Mahesa did not give the opportunity to Lembupati to seize the book of Bolo Srewu from his hands. Ki Mahesa continues to attack Lembupati, but Ki Mahesa's attack can still be avoided by Lembupati.

"It turns out this guy has a pretty high kanuragan. I have to be careful, jagan until I get into his game. The most important thing is to save this book so as not to fall into the hands of Empress Mai.." inwardly Ki Mahesa.

"Nonsensical...!! it turns out that this person is great as well and I'm sure he hasn't brought out his abilities yet." Inner Lembupati.

BWEEEET.. WHUSSSE.. CTAAAAKK..

BWEEET.. JBUUGG..

NJDUUUUGGGG.. BRAAAKKKK...

The Lembupati attack was easily repelled by ki Mahesa. Because he was too eager to attack, Lembupati saw there was a gap to attack. Lembupati's punch landed on Ki Mahesa's stomach but Ki Mahesa quickly directed his leg to Lembupati's chest, and made the two bounce dozens of meters.

"Baslut bajarrrrr....!! Don't ever call me Lembupati if I can't kill you..!! yell Lembupati growled..

Lembupati advanced quickly and attacked Ki Mahesa with his manager..

"The Tiger Demon Claw..!! shout Lembupati.

Ki Mahesa fended off the Lembupati attack with his mainstay..

"Father of the Cow Sekilan...!! yelled Ki Mahesa.

The attack of the Lembupati changes rapidly. The tiger claw energy was directed at the box containing the Bolo Srewu book, the black box that was hit by the Lembupati style released from Ki Mahesa's hand and floated high into the air, while the style ki Mahesa telak about Lembupati's chest.

DHAAAARR.....

Lembupati bounced tens of meters, on his chest appeared black footprint, Lembupati was badly injured and collapsed with his nose and mouth spitting out fresh blood. Lembupati died at the hands of Ki Mahesa.

Surojoyo, who knew the box containing the bolo srewu, floated in the air, quickly darting to catch the box. At the same time a shadow darted towards the box, knowing it, Ki Mahesa quickly pulled out his flagship style and pointed it at the box containing the bolo srewu book hoping that the book was destroyed by his blow.

"The Father of the Cow Sekilaann...!!" yelled Ki Mahesa.

A whip immediately grabbed the black box and pulled towards the branch. Ki Mahesa's punch only hit empty air. The shadow then stood in front of Lembupati's corpse.

"Empress Mai...?" Surojoyo.

"I'll take care of you later. Most importantly this book I have obtained, my strength will be unparalleled..!! Hahahaha.." said Empress Mai.

Ki Mahesa and Surojoyo attack Empress Mai simultaneously, but Empress Mai quickly disappears from their sight along with Wongso and Lembupati's corpse.

"Italyall...!! they're running away. I have to report this incident to Ki Harso immediately." Ki Mahesa said.

"Ki. allow me to meet Ki Harso as well. Today's incident makes me want to help you solve this problem. It doesn't seem like a simple matter." said Surojoyo.

"Alright, let's meet ki Harso." said Ki Mahesa while darting away to ki Harso's place.

Raden Sanjaya and the others had arrived at an inn where the Blood Axe headquarters was located, the Kembang Sore inn. An inn that was on the outskirts of the royal city. At the headquarters there are still some members of the blood axe who eventually joined the Sanjaya raden because their chairman had joined first. Raden Sanjaya felt a dark air envelop the royal city especially in the palace environment. By not wasting time, Raden Sanjaya immediately gathered all his members at the Kembang Sore inn.

Ki Sasongko sends the king's pigeons to Ki Harso and Ki Mahesa so that they soon meet with Raden Sanjaya. It didn't take long for the king's pigeons to deliver a message to Ki Harso and Ki Mahesa. Immediately ki Harso along with Ki Woko headed to the inn where the Sanjaya raden was located. Similarly Ki Mahesa along with Surojoyo and Pandu Bergolo also to the place where Raden Sanjaya is located. It did not take long, they had gathered together at the Kembang Sore inn to discuss the situation of the Banon Sewu royal palace.

"Sorry raden, before I will introduce to raden, he is named Surojoyo, is the chairman of the Palace college." said Ki Mahesa.

"Greetings Ki Surojoyo, my name is Sanjaya.." Raden Sanjaya introduced himself followed by others..

"I'm Tejomantri. I'm Sasongko. I'm Harso, and this is my brother Woko." said the other.

"A pride can get acquainted with the warriors choose a match from the land of Kawi. As Ki Mahesa mentioned, I'm Surojoyo. I am so grateful to you for caring about the state of our country. But raden, don't call me Ki, just call me Surajaya." Surajaya said.

"No Ki. although it looks easy, actually your age is almost the same as my Grandfather, it will be more convenient for me to call you Ki.." said Raden Sanjaya with a smile.

"It's up to raden alone." replied Surojoyo with a smile.

"Then how is the condition of Ki Harso's palace..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"Sorry Raden, I cut your conversation. There is something important that I report." said Ki Mahesa.

"It's okay Ki.. what do you want ki Mahesa to report..? Has ki Mahesa got the book of bolo srewu..?" ask raden Sanjaya.

"Right, at first I got the book. But Empress Mai managed to seize the book. About the magic of Empress Mai, all that is not fake news. He does have a high kanuragan." replied Ki Mahesa.

"Let me add raden, in addition to having a high kanuragan, empress Mai also has a member whose magic is also high." said Surojoyo.

"True raden, it is evident that many courtiers were included in the royal palace prison, even the Murjaya court which also has a high kanuragan was also lost at the hands of Empress Mai's men.." said Ki Woko.

"I also succeeded in freeing Patih Murjaya, the prince of Tarunayaksa and the empress of Gayatri from the palace's basement. Empress Mai deliberately spread the issue that Prince Tarunayaksa and his mother went to the land of Kawi so that their existence is not questioned by the residents." said Ki Harso.

"The situation is getting worse. Empress Mai would be even harder to defeat if she mastered the book. Then where is prince Tarunayaksa and his mother now..? Then did Ki Woko free Patih Murjaya..?" ask Raden Sanjaya.

"The three of them were at the inn near the west door of the palace, where Ki Harso and I were staying." replied Ki Woko.

"It's better to move them to this inn. Besides being safer, there are things I would like to ask Patih Murjoyo regarding empress Mai. I suspect that Empress Mai is a demon, because according to information obtained by Singoharjo, Champa is a land of demons." said Raden Sanjaya.

"Well, I'll pick them up." replied Ki Woko.

"It may be raden, because Empress Mai has a strange habit. He prefers to do activities at night, during the day he always wears a thick robe to do activities. He always walked in the shadows during the day. In addition, several murders occurred in the palace. The victim was always a young soldier and there was a bite mark on his neck, his corpse dried up like it was drained of blood. A few days ago, I caught the killer, but his movements were so fast and agile that I was unable to catch him. But an item fell from the body of the perpetrator, and that item was the earring of Empress Mai." said Surojoyo while showing the item in question.

"Creally that..? If so, we can't wait any longer. In the next two days, we have to move immediately." said Raden Sanjaya.
