The Thousand Mask Warrior

The Kanuragan Science Jajal

When Jayaseta could really notice who his enemies were, he loosened his horses. He was confused about what to do, so he put down his leeway and then joked, "Amaz, forgive my gibberish. We come in peace, please consider speaking in peace" Jayaseta said.

Data Cempaka was surprised, then aware of what happened, "Abang, Jayaseta. They're not the tribe we're looking for. We're not at his place yet!" Dara Cempaka. As a citizen of the Sukadana kingdom on the island of Tanjung Pura, of course, knowing dozens or even hundreds of tribes inland is a knowledge that is very necessary to master.

Datuk Mas Kuning is a great teacher. He not only taught canuragan and silat techniques to his young granddaughter, but the Datuk felt that a swordsman should be equipped with good knowledge in order to get to know everyone and respect their habits and mindset.

Cone trousers at the wrist is definitely not a feature of the tribe headed by Temenggung Bear. Jayaseta did not have that knowledge, and he did come with peaceful intentions. Doesn't he really want to ask for help Temenggung? Therefore, getting into a fight with their tribe was definitely not a wise decision. Baby Jayaseta doesn't understand that.

Seeing Jayaseta release his weapon, one of the attackers whose chest was injured took his naibor and immediately attacked Jayaseta who was still jutting but a little confused because of the call of Dara Cempaka.

With little movement, even without preparation for the sudden attack, Jayaseta was able to avoid easily the naibor sabetan that targeted his head.

Jayaseta then poked the back of the enemy's knee and gave one more kick to the ribs. These two quick attacks sent the attacker to the side. His body fell on the grass. He is now confused by the swiftness of enemy movements for his attacks and the speed of counterattacks launched. Clearly this man was the warrior his master was looking for.

He tried to stand by holding on to his naibor which was plugged into the ground. But a kick back hit him so he fell again rolling on the ground towards his two friends who then helped him wake up.

The last kick came from Dara Cempaka.

Ireng and Siam had also suddenly prepared themselves with spears. Though they also understand that Jayaseta alone can finish the fight against his three opponents with just a few waves.

"Who are y'all? Why are you suddenly backing us?" exclaim Dara Cempaka towards when their enemy. However, instead of replying or returning to attack, their opponent of unknown origin turned around and took a thousand steps, fleeing.

"Stop you guys!" shouted Dara Cempaka who suddenly ran after the three people. Jayaseta without much thought immediately took the leeway and went after Dara Cempaka. Ireng and Siam jumped following them.

The Young Tiger Swordsman stood upright. His wide smile was plastered on his face watching Jayaseta's entourage arrive in front of him. "I had expected that you would have been able to pass through this little obstacle. Sorry for my inappropriate reception. I just want to convince and confirm that the swordsman I was waiting for, I searched by crossing the forest and down the river is indeed a person who deserves to try the science of kanuragan," said the swordsman.

Jayaseta took a breath. He was perfumed with this kind of situation. A person who has declared himself as a swordsman will always be involved with various disputes, both in defending the truth, maturing science, challenging other warriors, and challenging others, or get ready to be challenged by other warriors like him.

However, Jayaseta still asked, "What exactly is the desire of the children to attack us who have no evil things against the children and brothers?"

"Yes, true ... There was no dispute with us, especially me. I apologize for being impolite and presumptuous to attack your entourage suddenly. But now we know that my men's attacks mean nothing to a warrior like you, the Thousand Mask Swordsman, don't they?" replied the Young Tiger Warrior Kudangan.

Ireng, Siam and even Dara Cempaka now knew which way this conversation was going. Challenges of fighting and mutual science kanuragan is commonplace in the martial world. It's just that, on the island of Tanjung Pura, the fight of life and death is more in the form of battles between kingdoms or inter-tribes inland Power in the form of headhunting.

Jayaseta this time was too tired to talk and avoided the fight. His mind is too naive to see that every time he convinces himself not to feel guilty when the victim falls for his actions and shortness of behavior, he also realizes that his life path has been set. He must be brave against a challenging enemy. No need to make any more pleasantries.

A pair of weapons is called kerambit or karambit in Malay, but from the original language is Minang, weapons whose shape is based on the thought of a fingernail or tiger is called kurambiak or carambiak.

The user of this weapon can perform a straight punch or spin. Due to the light, small and tight cambite nature of the grip, the attack will be as fast as boxing or jotosan. The enemy will not know that suddenly his skin and flesh are torn. Unlike the sword or machete whose attack can still be seen and felt.

However, at first it was the same as most weapons in the archipelago, kerambit is also an agricultural tool designed to uproot grass crops or harvest rice which then develops into a weapon with a more curved shape and a sharper blade.

Evidence that kerambit indeed comes from the Minang tribe on the western Malay island is a relic of a statue or statue of king Minangkabau in Pagarruyung, during the Hindu-Buddhist kingdom, Adityawarman which has a long name Maharajadiraja Srimat Sri Udayadityawarma Pratapapapaparakrama Rajendra Maulimali Warmadewa. On the statue of the king who ruled from 1347 to 1375 AD is seen holding a kerambit in his hand.

More fully also explained that Adityawarman was the son of the king of the Majapahit kingdom who then ruled in the land of the Malay kingdom which previously had capital in Dharmasraya and Malayupura and moved the capital to the interior of Minangkabau.

The kerambit on the statue shows that the king is a picture of a leader who is also a fighter and fighter.

Young Tiger Swordsman Kudangan gave his do to his 'people'. Her hair is still on her waist. He also prepared himself for this fight.

Jayaseta has confirmed it. He did not want to spend time with this troupe of bullies. The challenger must also be given a lesson that he really wants. I don't know how far away and how long it's time to plan to meet Jayaseta. So, obviously this guy wouldn't want to be left alone. And obviously he won't lose.

Jayaseta approached Dara Cempaka, Ireng and Siam. He glanced at the dagger tucked in the waist of Siam then said to the three of them, "Listen. I need to finish this fight immediately. I was about to use the kelewang directly, but that person seemed to want to try empty-handed with me. However, he still left his arching weapon at the waist of his back which he could use at any time with cunning" said Jayaseta. The three colleagues agreed.

"Siam, this is a mare belonging to King Nio, your skipper. Can you use it?" ask Jayaseta.

The person asked replied, "Of course, swordsman. The crew is quite used to using the kelewang," he replied.

"good. I leave this kelum to you. But in exchange, may I borrow your dagger? I need it when my opponent pulls out his weapon" Jayaseta said.

Without hesitation Siam handed over the dagger which was directly tucked behind the Jayaseta holster. "It was a Siamese-style dagger, swordsman. I know you can definitely use it," Siam said after giving a dagger with a distinctive shape bubbling at the front of the sharp blade and handed the spear to Dara Cempaka so that all of them were armed.

Jayaseta nodded and thanked me. "You must be ready with your weapons. Spear, machete, and you Dara, your fan. We don't know what will happen after this fight is over. We must be on guard when the swordsmen also suddenly attack."

Dara Cempaka was about to say something when Jayaseta raised her one hand, "Relax Dara. Instead of jumawa, but I made sure nothing bad would happen to me. I'll try to get this over with as soon as possible. That guy needs to be taught a lesson. You just need to prepare yourself."

Dara Cempaka smiled. There was not the slightest doubt in his heart about the greatness of the man he already loved. He just wanted to say, "Be careful and take care of yourself, brother Jayaseta." But it turns out Jayaseta already knows what he thinks and feels. Is this a sign that Jayaseta has understood his heart?

Ah, in this kind of occasion he had been thinking about romance, thought Dara Cempaka.

Jayaseta himself had turned around and headed towards the battleground. Dara Cempaka, Ireng and Siam have each grasped their weapons. Ireng with his spear, Dara Cempaka equipped his fan with a spear in his other hand, while Siam grasped a machete. Their views were addressed to the seven Minang-clad Daya warriors who were also ready with their naibor, as well as several others who were most likely followers of the swordsman who took care of their various needs.
