The Thousand Mask Warrior

Battles

At that time the South China sea breeze is blowing towards the north so that it makes it easier to sail to countries under the wind such as Ayuthia, Campa and China. However, the cruise from Java to China obviously takes more than forty days. The journey from Canton to Malacca alone takes forty-five to fifty days. This will still make anyone who is not ready to travel far, stuck in the vast ocean, will object to take part in this long journey.

The number of those who besieged Jayaseta was eight people including two soldiers who were bounced by Jayaseta's attack. Six soldiers subordinate to the cheek of the jeweled kingpin was apparently not the same part with two soldiers with complete uniforms of the army even though they were on one ship. Evidently, two soldiers who were still upset by falling were attacked by the masked young man, without hesitation and without calculation, directly attacked Jayaseta simultaneously.

“Hiyaaaaa …. Hiyaaaatttt!” both men slammed into Jayaseta's head and chest. Jayaseta himself circled around while ducking away from the two sword slips of his attackers. When the two attacks escaped, Jayaseta hit the foot of one of his attackers who then fell. The other soldier nearly unleashed a second attack before his belt was snatched away by Jayaseta. He was thrown far away hitting the edge of the ship violently and unconscious.

The stricken soldier tried to get up as fast as he could but then came to his senses, his right hand not grasping the sword anymore. The sharp tip of the sword was now stuck to his throat. I do not know when Jayaserta managed to snatch the sword from his hand. The soldier immediately released his shield to show a sign he did not intend to fight anymore. One fathom struck his chest and made him bounce a second time. This time he was unconscious like his partner.

Jayaseta is holding a short sword. The six warriors who surrounded him had already expected this. Jayaseta's moves of attack and avoidance cannot be underestimated and underestimated. They must set up a strategy in the face of the opponent. These six soldiers looked at each other and sent out some sort of gesture.

A three-layer twisted head-bound warrior armed with a two cubit-eyed trident spear and a light rattan shield advanced. He took a stab at Jayaseta's chest. Jayaseta, wary of this, retreated half a step and would strike back when one soldier with a pair of wide studs in both ears grabbed his feet with a curved short sword. But this curved sword is quite different because instead of curving backward, the sharp blade curved forward, although not a bend of celurit.

This short sword must have had a sinister crushing power. Just imagine if the curve of the sharp blade hit someone's body. Later Jayaseta found out that the name of the sword was ginunting. Jayaseta was forced to stop attacking and chose to jump away.

DAG!

It was when he jumped that he was hit by a rattan shield by a soldier with a trident spear right in his chest. Jayaseta rolled back while making a distance far enough to avoid the siege. It was just that he had not had time to arrange his horses, the whirring of arrows scratched his arm. Very thin but had made Jayaseta surprised.

Fortunately, the arrow is not the right weapon used on the ship. This is because the very heavy wind makes arrows often deviate from the target. But if the arrow manages to scratch it, isn't the archery science that the attacker is so capable and shrewd?

The archer grasped a gandewa or a bow. This Gandewa is made of short bamboo material, the arrows hang from the waist of the left, unlike other archers who used to place arrows on their backs. He wore a black buttonless shirt and a tall Malay-style headband.

One more shot already leads to Jayaseta. When the arrow was removed and whizzed through the air, Jayaseta managed to fend it off with her short sword and broke the arrow.

The other three warriors came in suddenly attacking simultaneously with their daggers. Puncture and strike towards Jayaseta as well planned. All three had the exact same three pairs of daggers. Their moves also seem to be paired dagger moves which, although the strike distance is shorter than the sword, the spear is especially the arrow, because it is done in threes and their attacks are like extending like iron chains. Jayaseta was forced to back off, roll over and tick as quickly and as best he could. Already five attacks that lead to Jayaseta make him upset to want to give resistance.

Jayaseta decided it was time to destroy the fighting style of these six soldiers with his attacks before somehow they managed to injure and even kill him. Jayaseta saw a sort of cavity in their ordered attacks, that they attacked with their heads down. Even the archer had his horses bowing down. This was because the wars they often experienced were on ships. To maintain balance and the best movement is to look down and open the horses wide so that their foundation is solid.

Jayaseta slashed into the air and drew her sword.

TRANGS! TRINGS!

His attack cut through the soldiers' shields. He continued to jump again while attacking the soldiers who also turned out to be good in defense as well. Indeed, this method turned out to be troublesome for the soldiers who were used to fighting by way of ducking. If considered carefully, three four more attacks with Jayaseta's high ability, the soldiers' defense will be able to break down without them having time to retaliate. But there is no reason why a bowed attack is one of the most appropriate ones to use on a ship.

Jayaseta felt his body shivering when the big waves hit the body of the ship. Everyone in the deck bag of the ship also swayed, but soon returned to the original condition. While the bully is down and unshakable. Their views pointed sharply at Jayaseta. The waves hit the ship again. Everyone held onto something that stuck to the ship to balance themselves. Then things became common again. But not Jayaseta. He felt a strange feeling. His head suddenly shook and his stomach churned. When the ship swayed again for how many times,

Jayaseta suddenly felt her head spin.  Did the poison that attacked him from Cerbon attack him again this time? Kyai Plered's spear curse poison that starts making more ifs? Or is there one of these soldiers who uses witchcraft to make Jayaseta weak and lost consciousness so that it is easy to attack?

Unfortunately, he is no longer strong.

Covering his mouth he let go and suddenly he let out his entrails to the floor of the deck of the ship, he vomited. The vomit did not stop. The second vomit was third and continued so several times until he felt weak. His head is still spinning. Damn, this poison is so strong he thought. While the six people who were ready to attack from earlier even made gawking.

Unknowingly, a soldier advanced quickly towards Jayaseta and by taking advantage of the opportunity managed to smash his shield into Jayaseta's chin and make him look up. One more blow with the shield on Jayaseta's chest pushed him back a few steps and his short sword slipped out of his hand. When the other warrior wanted to finish this fight by slashing his sword at Jayaseta's head, the warrior leader's shout made his sword stop in midair, “Stop! Don't kill, I said leave his head to me!”

The leader then shouted among the soldiers who surrounded Jayaseta. With a face made louder he kicked Jayaseta as hard as possible until Jayaseta's body hit the mast of the ship. Jayaseta slumped limp with leaning towards the mast of the ship.

“Stupid, you seasick apparently!” said the leader of the soldiers accompanied by an explosion of laughter of other soldiers.

Jayaseta.

During his lifetime, he had never traveled by ship. He couldn't even swim let alone ride on a large ship on a long journey like this. It was something completely different and completely new to him. He really realized that this was not a trivial thing. Although it looks silly, seasickness is not a small thing. He is now in the middle of the ocean somewhere exactly with the people who want to kill him.

Various conclusions came to Jayaseta's mind. If the seasickness is endless, it must be limp and impossible to continue the fight. It can be thrown into the sea, this is the most frightening. For the first time on his way to Betawi, he was now most afraid.

For many years Jayaseta lived in Giri which is famous for its Gresik port. People come from various regions and countries to visit Gresik but he is not at all familiar with the life of shipping and shipping. He was not taught or wanted to learn to swim. The square is his only travel experience.

The sea had always been a terrible thing for him. That is why Jayaseta only fully understood why he was so upset when he realized he was already on the deck of the ship. Not just from feeling bullied and cheated, but more because of the feeling of fear and unease because they are on a ship that floats in the ocean.

The entire army again surrounded him with the leader who was still chuckling standing haughtily in front of him. Jayaseta was still sitting with his stomach that felt stirred and his head that seemed to spin. The chaotic feeling still outperformed him, especially the feeling of being depressed and feeling silly and weak. It would be funny if he died silly in the ocean because he could not fight well. He died of seasickness.

For that Jayaseta closed his eyes, trying to find out how his body works at this time, how he can reduce the drunkenness of the sea. He tried not to ignore the laughter that continued to echo in his ears.

“I didn't expect, I was finally able to finish off this famous swordsman, the funny thing is, he was seasick, ha ha ha …” the leader still continued to be satisfied and mocked Jayaseta accompanied by all the soldiers who continued their laughter.

Jayaseta focused her mind on making her body calm. If until the curse of Kyai Plered appears, everything will be added runyam. He weighs everything. How do we outperform sailors who have lived on board for years and have a very mature capability in marine and oceanic warfare?

Pure energy is impossible to use. His power will be drained even more so with the bad possibility of the Kyai Plered spear curse poison appearing. His weapon has now been thrown. In order to survive, he must be able to utilize whatever he can to survive the cursed place. First of all, he must overcome his fears and worries over the sea and his inability to swim.

Second, he had to fight his bullies with empty-handed moves and again, without any inner strength. With the inner power released, fatigue and worry will appear again when the power will be drained. This is not the time to act rashly, banged up, full of anger and laughter in the face of the bullies.

“Hoek, hoek, hoek ..” Jayaseta regurgitates his bowels. But this time on purpose because by doing this is a good way to further raise his awareness. His stomach was a little comfortable, his mind began to focus because it did not worry about his condition excessively anymore.

The laughter echoed uncontrollably as Jayaseta regained his vomit. Unfortunately, they do not understand at all that Jayaseta is a person who quickly learns. It is really a swordsman choose a match and sakti mandraguna. They should have just finished off Jayaseta when they had. But arrogance and taking things lightly is the highest human weakness. Jayaseta is able to use the pauses of show off the arrogance of his enemies by restraining and ignoring his pride to improve his best abilities.
