The Thousand Mask Warrior

The Sundang Majapahit

Smiling beds. The tattoo all over his body was exposed to sunlight. His loamy muscles squirm, especially in the right arm that holds one rod of rattan. The other free hand was raised as a second weapon.

His Kali Bisaya moves will soon be reissued against the subordinates of Walanda's bule government.

The bed is definitely not an arbitrary person. In this mature age, he has gained a lot of knowledge and experience. His Kali silat science can also be said to be very qualified. However, a meeting with a Jayaseta, a young swordsman from Java, made him feel that being a jumawa was a big mistake of a swordsman.

A warrior can lose, can win in a fight. Furthermore, a hero often has to kill or complete his short journey by dying at the hands of other heroes. The fight with Jayaseta on the ship in their first meeting, told Katilapan, that as great as a swordsman, he should not finish studying and developing his abilities, both science, sensitivity, and, open-mindedness, patience and self-maturity.

So, here it is now. The silent bed also actually mastered other types of Kali silat besides Kali Bisaya.

The name of the silat is Sundang or Kali Majapahit.

***

At the time of the kingdom of Medang or often also called the old Mataram Kingdom, the regions and kingdoms in the country where Katilapan came from, have collaborated with each other.

It is described in an inscription named Mantyasih in 907 AD, that the first king of Medang kingdom, whose kingdom is referred to in full as Rahyang ta ri rumuhan Medang ri Poh Pitu, is, namely Rakai Mataram Sang Ratu Sanjaya, has collaborated with areas such as Tundun, Pamah, Binwangan, and Puliran.

In addition to the Tundun kingdom which is one of the three ancient kingdoms in the country where Katilapan lived, Medang also cooperated with two other kingdoms, namely Namayan and Maynila.

As is known, the science of Kali Bisaya silat is strongly influenced by the royal silat Srivijaya on the island of Samudra Melayu, or also called Swarnadwipa in the past. However, after Srivijaya collapsed due to competition and control by the kingdom on the island of Java, namely Singasari and then Majapahit, the, kali silat science is also affected because of the long relationship with the Javanese people since the time of the kingdom of Medang or ancient Mataram.

Majapahit Kingdom memamg teach superior fighting style and science to the extent that its soldiers are very difficult to defeat the enemy.

One of the great silat styles in the Majapahit era was named Sundang Majapahit which was taught and introduced by Mahesa Anabrang who was one of the leaders of the early Majapahit Kingdom, the era was led by Raden Wijaya.

Formerly, he was a senapati Singasari kingdom who was assigned to establish friendship with the kingdom of Malayupura through the task of Pamalayu. Later in its development, he and Singasari's forces conquered all of Malay territory in 1288, including Jambi and Srivijaya.

On the Malay island, Mahesa Anabrang combines martial arts army owned by Singasari Kingdom and Dharmasraya Kingdom of Minang people. The merging of these two combat arts eventually gave birth to Sundang Majapahit.

Armed with the knowledge of Sundang Majapahit, a war soldier can use a fault style that is combined with several weapons. A soldier can use Sundang Majapahit by using a sword in the right hand and a keris in the left hand.

Of course Katilapan was surprised to learn that the young swordsman, Jayaseta, was able to master combat moves with two different weapons in both hands. In fact, Katilapan sure, Jayaseta has not known the science of ancient canuragan is very deadly.

This Sundang Majapahit has a fighting style that is divided into several elements. The element of defense is called the Sundang Gunung. To attack and conquer, used Sundang Kali and Sundang Laut. There is also the Wind Leg style used for the form of infiltration. While the last is the Sundang Matahari used to protect the king and his family by utilizing the group style of special forces work.

The five elements of Sundang Mountain, Kali, Sea, Wind and Sun can be combined with each other. The whole has its own purpose and use that will help win a fight.

The problem is, it is said that not many can master this martial art. Not just anyone who is able to learn Sundang Majapahit, because it is so sacred. Mahesa Anabrang himself then passed down his knowledge to his descendants named Adityawarman.

From Adityawarman, Sundang Majapahit then spread to the Majapahit Kingdom troops, as well as their subordinate kingdoms such as Dharmasraya on the Malay island, Bugis Gowa, and Sulu in the land of Katilapan origin and named Kali Majapahit there.

Katilapan learn Kali Bisaya as well as Kali Majapahit style Sundang Laut. A fractured, short but fast-paced attack would be very useful against the armed forces of rifles and other sharp weapons on this forested terrain.

The bed moved quickly, its rotational staff slashing at the enemy who was trying to attack it with the aim of killing. His free hand became a weapon.

When in the Kali Bisaya moves the free hand acts as a handmaid holding a weapon; such as pulling over and fending off an opponent's attack and locking and seizing it, the free hand in Kali Majapahit also hits, stabbing, breaking or slapping your opponent like a main weapon.

It is certain that Narendra's long, agile and agile attack, united with Katilapan's moves that can be said to be almost opposite, short and fast, further confused the enemy.

In some ripples, the enemy is in disarray. The bullet was not loaded into the rifle because Narendra's trident locked it and seized it. The bed completes by cutting the fingers and hands, shoulders and head.

This is one of the hallmarks of Kali science from Bisaya and Kali Majapahit in Sulu, attacks are carried out on all limbs, not least. Even an attack to the wrist - the part of the body closest to the source of the attack - will become deadly when done appropriately.

Jayaseta is moving forward. He jumped once then bounced himself off the ground once more to tighten the distance between him and Sebastian de Jaager. He also had time to throw once again a secret knife in the direction of Sebastian de Jaager who wavered because previously had been so angry and surprised because he was not aware he had been injured.

Therefore, a flying knife slid towards him, he was as agile as he could. He did not care about his injured right hand. The first knife that stuck not too deep because it was stuck in the cover of his hands from his skin, but inevitably made his hand movements very disturbed.

Fortunately again, with his well-trained sensitivity skills, the other secret knife Jayaseta threw managed to put up with his saber.

The younger brother, Devisser de Jaager, obviously could not remain silent. He slid forward thrust his rapier towards Jayaseta who looked more hunting the old brother.

However, Devisser de Jaager was wrong. There is no limit in the Jurus Without Jayaseta, everything can be done according to the state of the battle.

Jayaseta threw the Kyai Island Lucky Kris towards the Devisser de Jaager who was certainly surprised, not expecting the dagger-type weapon to be used in such a way.

Devisser took a step back and rolled back. Keris's throw didn't hit his body, but that wasn't Jayaseta's plan.

With his bare hands, Jayseta has managed to get closer to Sebastian de Jaager. Apparently, without a weapon in hand made his movements faster and boundless. With a keris, he had to stab, with the dao he had to slash. With his bare hands, Jayaseta clasped the saber Sebastian de Jaager on his not-so-sharp fort. One more hand hit Sebastian de Jaager's wrist with a little energy through the Mountain Watu Bogem.

Saber slipped out of Sebastian de Jaager's hand with a stifled cry as the hand on which Jayaseta's secret knife was stuck was crushed and broken.

Jayaseta clasped Sebastian de Jaager's saber handle, shook it and slashed it at the voter, right in the chest.

THE DAR!!

A loud boom was heard along with the screams of Devisser de Jaager, the younger brother. Sebastian de Jaager could no longer shout because his life had gone from his charred chest burned by the powder of fire from his own weapon.
