The Thousand Mask Warrior
Pairing Style
The warriors of various nations plied the four warriors who became strangers in their ships like a collection of rangrang ants. The warriors Mangkasara and Bugis moreover, they are ready to prey on Datuk Mas Kuning with a flash of sharp blades and taper of nature and body.
Datuk Mas Kuning spread his gaze around. Solid deck with warriors. "Why can't many of these people learn that a fight with this much space and warriors will actually harm their own attackers?" thought the Grandfather. He smiles. His right hand that held the keris was lowered. His left hand took off the sheath that wrapped around his waist.
An Acehnese swordsman again tried his luck to slash the Datuk first, but he was not alone, a Toba thrust singiris longitude and two Bugis who were also armed with short swords naturally jerked forward.
Datuk Mas Kuning brushed off the peudeung with a flick of scabbard, then quickly also trace the enemy's hip until the Acehnese swordsman retreated. The same sheath is flicked with a single motion and twist tied slender rod oval singiris Toba. Once jolted, the spear was followed by the left hand movement Datuk Mas Kuning, crossing in front of two Bugis attackers with natural sword.
THE TRACK!
THE TRACK!
Two blades of alamang memapras hujur singiris. The two swords also collided with each other because it was so narrow and chaotic. This is an advantage for the grandfather. He lowered his head and lowered his dagger down.
Irritated cries and held two warriors Bugis found their thighs scratched by the opponent's keris. Both retreat. The Toba swordsman who found his spear bound to a holster and used to withstand the attacks of two Bugis warriors tried to pull back the spear. The Datuk loosened his scabbard, detaching from the bond, making the swordsman Toba jolted backward. This opportunity was used by the Datuk to push his keris when the Toba swordsman was retreating.
Unfortunately, the opportunity was wasted because the peudeung attack had come back chasing Datuk Mas Kuning's chest. The old fighter rewinded his chest, then jumped because the Acehnese swordsman immediately continued to blow his peudeung to the foot when his first attack did not hit the enemy.
Some Bugis warriors were secretly ready with Bugis, Mangkasara and their badik behind the Datuk who were carried back by the sudden attack of the Acehnese swordsman.

Jayaseta was already grasping the singiris longitude in her hand. Swordsman Toba who felt his weapon was captured immediately pulled the mash of Toba pepper from his belt. Two Acehnese warriors mounted horses so low. They play peudeung in their right hand while the left hand is ready with a rencong.
Without warning, Jayaseta decided to attack the two Acehnese warriors first. Two quick and short stabs but over long distances in his favor forced two Acehnese warriors to dodge. The swordsman Toba was fooled. He thought he had a chance to attack this masked swordsman from behind.
The blunt singiris oblong back end pounded the chest of the determined Toba swordsman. It fell backwards. But not yet had his butt touched the floor of the deckboard, his neck was worshiped by the side of a single oblong spear shaft. The swordsman Toba was lying on the floor. Probably dead, maybe fainted.
Jayaseta played the singiris luck quickly. Two Acehnese warriors felt blood splashing from their faces. Both were injured by the spear's eyes pressing on the forehead and nose. Both are back away.
Jayaseta turned, lifted the singiris and released it.
The slender spear drove fast and pierced through the neck of a Mangkasara swordsman who almost stabbed Datuk Mas Kuning from behind. His body fell. The life escaped from his body before blood flowed out profusely from his neck.
This incident surprised the Bugis-Mangkasara warriors who were all behind Datuk Mas Kuning to support him.
Their shock by Jayaseta's unexpected attack is now an absolute advantage for Datuk Mas Kuning. He turned around, splashing a sarong into the face of one Mangkasara man, making him surprised and unawares. The stab of the Datuk's keris followed through his chest and stomach.
This is the second death toll.
"Ban! You were helping your old friend when he was facing us. You seem to be underestimating our abilities, huh? Do not think by successfully injuring our faces you have excelled in the wind," said one Acehnese swordsman upset.
Jayaseta used the cross-legged ponies to balance his body, but later, both legs were useful as a repellent. He did not answer the enemy's question, instead directly attacked. His body held high and then hit with a Thunder Kick from the South. The greatness of the Jusur without Jayaseta is that whatever moves he has learned can be used mixed and melted with other styles, even in seemingly impossible uses.
The fighter died on the spot.
The colleague of the dead Acehnese warrior looked on in disbelief. For a moment, in a few moves, his friend was lifeless facing this faceless warrior.
The crew stopped working. They stood in the corners of ships far from the battlefield. They watch this fight like seeing bulls and tigers, so stunning. One of the crew who looked the oldest among the others smiled to see the buzz of the masked swordsman.
Obviously, this victory was because in addition to Jayaseta's devotion, it was his intelligence that made use of the arrogance of the braggarts who felt winning numbers. Moreover, the average swordsman on board this ship also has a very high self-esteem. It is easy to be riled up and in the end easy to beat because they cannot think well and clearly.
The burning cries of anger from the Acehnese swordsman seeing his colleague dead sounded real. His hand held the peudeung high, then attacked Jayaseta blindly. He slashed across twice, then whipped around and stabbed his snout. Jayaseta dodges with ease.
On the next combined attack, Jayaseta was not about to dodge. He entered the horses of the enemy. His right hand grasped the left arm of the Acehnese swordsman who grasped the rencong, twisting it, then directing the hand holding the dagger to stab its own waist. Shouts of pain spread in space. Jayaseta then held the right arm of the enemy who grasped the peudeung with both hands, then turned around, attached his back to the chest of the enemy and slammed it.
Peudeung is now in Jayaseta's hands, while the swordsman who originally owned it is now dead. The plan went deeper when Jayaseta slammed and threw his body on the floor of the deckboard of the ship owned by de Paula.

De Paula suddenly riled up. He stood agitated, then walked back and forth. He felt two flintlock pistols or flint buttons made in Germany and the United Kingdom on his waist. Jala Jangkung glanced at the anger of his master. "Quiet, Mr. de Paula. Do you understand that the warriors down there are enjoying the fight? Death on the way of the warrior is their achievement. They are very happy when they can face the warriors they deserve to fight and share the science of kanuragan," said the skipper relaxed and calm.
De Paula squinted her eyes and looked at Jala Jangkung sharply. He exclaimed, "But I am not a warrior, Jala Jangkung!"
The skipper chuckled softly.

Jayaseta pemeprasung towards the rest of the Mangkasara-Bugis swordsmen who are still trying to attack Datuk Mas Kuning. All of them are moving back away.
"Sorry, Grandpa. It is not presumptuous or dismissive of the devotion of Datuk, the servant teacher himself, but I do not think I can let Datuk alone have fun against them. The age of the grandfather who is already dusk should make Datuk not greedy eat them alone," joked Jayaseta.
The Grandfather chuckled, "I don't mind sharing with you, Jayaseta."

Narendra and Katilapan decided to fight together in pairs, rather than alone. Now they stick each other's backs. For a moment Narendra pushed the body of an Acehnese swordsman who jumped towards Katilapan to press his head. "Replace, you protect me later, Katilapan," said Narendra.
Babiat Sibolang humbled the horses. Around Narendra and Katilapan, the Acehnese warriors and one Toba swordsman, Babiat Sibolang, twisted their weapons ready to hit together.
