The Thousand Mask Warrior

The Grassi

For swordsmen in the country there, studying for one person is necessary, but not a few teachers who write their moves so that they can be seen and read by many people.

Ragione di adoprar sicuramente l'Arme, da offesa come da difesa is a book written by an Italian swordsman in 1570 named Giacomo di Grassi. The inscriptions containing these swords were later translated and disseminated by the United Kingdom in 1594.

Indeed this is an unusual culture known in the archipelago. Silat or swordsmanship in particular should be studied by certain people and kept secret from other people or universities.

Regarding silat style, it may indeed be similar. Consider it for example the silat jurus of Javanese, Malay, Mangkasar, Minangkabau, or Sukadana, and call it Chinese and Hindustan silat, each of which has its own characteristics although still know the branches of the style that is almost impossible to calculate in number.

European swordsmanship, such as Italy, France, Great Britain, Germany to Walanda based on science. People are good at arithmetic and natural science, creating certain calculations in the motion of swords, spears or other sharp weapons, to be concise and appropriate.

For example, written by Di Grassi, there are four defensive horses in rapier swordsmanship that are based on the location of the sword to attack the opponent. The first is called prime, where the rapier is removed from the sheath and the handle is above the head and the tip of the rapier facing the enemy. The horses are further called secondes, where the hand holding the rapier is parallel to the shoulder. Third, called tierce, where the hand drops slightly above the hip but the tip of the sword faces the enemy. The latter, the quarte, similar to the tierce, only placed the hands very down as low as the hips, the tip of the sword aimed at the face and shoulders forward.

Four positions of these horses can be installed, replaced or developed as needed.

There was an air of anger and hate on Devisser de Jaager's face. He seems eager to finish Jayaseta and finish all this, after what happened to the old brother.

The sound of explosions repeatedly both Jayaseta and Devisser de Jaager, listen. They don't care. They were both focusing on this life and death match.

Now Devisser de Jaager looks many times to change the horses from prime, seconde, tierce, quarte or with his own twin. The purpose of these horses was clear, finishing the fight with a simple and appropriate lethal puncture.

For the foreign bule world, sword attacks, especially the rapier type, straight stabs are the most deadly because they are the quickest and without too much pressure on the weapon.

Puncture styles, including those of Di Grassi style, can be done with a straight prick done purely by the arm, a stab with the shoulder and body, while stepping forward, jumping, running or a combination of all of them.

The tall body of the Devisser de Jaager was very beneficial to him in this rapier swordsmanship. He can reach the reach of his sword as far as possible by looking down and making flat body parts sideways. It can also provide self-defense, where the sideways body will be difficult to impale weapons.

Only, all the rules and calculations of science in this sword dealing with a Jayaseta. A Javanese land swordsman with a Skillless Skill that can not be as well guessed and estimated.

With the prime horses, the Devisser de Jaager flashed forward performing an imbrocatta, a quick stab directed from overhead.

Jayaseta rolled to the side. Saber Sebastian de Jaager is still in his hands.

Devisser de Jaager hunts Jayaseta down with anxiety. He carried out stoccata attacks, stabs to the chest and punta riversa, stabs from outside as well as in enemy weapons with quarte horses

Jayaseta has read the Devisser de Jaager movement. All movements are 'simple' but considered concise and appropriate by Devisser de Jaager turns out to be its own weakness.

The swordsmen of the bule did not want to spend time to train themselves in learning the inner power and martial arts and other combat arts. They only focus on the brevity of fighting.

Science led them into developed and powerful nations. They defeated other kingdoms by various calculations, using the science of governance, using grammar, using chance and so on. Cannons, rugs, and incitement made them dominate the trade.

But, from here it can be known that their abilities are very low when underestimating the types of fighting styles. They considered that a quick and quick movement was enough to kill the enemy.

Jayaseta succeeded in imitating and even developing the saber and rapier de Jaager brothers.

The brothers' silat de Jaager abilities for Jayaseta were far below those of the great silat warriors, including the two Japanese ronin who perished at his hands. But these two Walanda brothers are indeed smart in using all means to win the fight. From using science, to cunning.

Sebastian de Jaager has been killed in his hands using his own weapon, which was created in such a way as to be dangerous and deceiving. The science that Sebastian de Jaager used, was restored by Jayaseta.

This time, facing the Devisser de Jaager, Jayaseta will ensure the concise and fast swordsmanship of his rapier sword will be defeated with the greatness of silat nusantara which is considered trivial and trivial by the Walanda people.

***

Quarte horses and Punta riversa attacks were carried out by Devisser de Jaager while half-running to ram towards Jayaseta.

Jayaseta rattled Sebastian de Jaager's saber handle, then flicked the sword with a flick of his wrist.

Devisser de Jaager was surprised not to be trapped, because Jayaseta was able to imitate the main movements of the saber sword style of the old brother.

Explosions of fire powder invade Devisser de Jaager. The one who was attacked shook his rapier while avoiding the explosion of the fire powder.

For Devisser de Jaager, the old brother's sword attacks can be recognized well because they have been practicing for a long time, even since childhood. So, avoiding these attacks is not a difficult job. Devisser was only surprised that the native swordsman had the ability to play the sword exactly like a bule style.

Knowing the attack that was characteristic of the old brother, Devisser de Jaager smiled, he understood exactly how to paralyze the attack. He already knows the key to defeating the saber sword style commonly used by Sebastian de Jaager.

And so, Devisser de Jaager spins once gracefully like dancing, then uses prime horses to cheat, because the real attack was one more turn and stretched out his arms and body sideways as far and fast as possible piercing towards Jayaseta's neck.

This should have been the ultimate deadly attack. Jayaseya's saber-rattling moves stolen from Sebastian de Jaager won't be able to take on this one.

Devisser de Jaager is wrong!

The swordsmanship he learned and developed may be excellent even when facing enemies whose abilities are below his, or swordsmen with weapons and European silat styles.

However, what he faced was a Jayaeeseta.

It just so happens that Jayaseta also wants to provide useful lessons that will stick in the brain of Devisser de Jaager before he dies.

Jayaseta could already predict the attack coming at him. Gathering pure air into the fingers of his left hand that did not hold the saber, Jayaseta instead retreated, instead he came forward to meet the rapier Devisser de Jaager's puncture.

His body sideways and escaped the Devisser attack smoothly. His left hand clasped Devisser's right fingers behind the finger protection and squeezed them.

Devisser de Jaager shouted loudly as her fingers were squeezed by the compact iron finger protection hit by a squeeze of Jayaseta's fingers.

What kind of person is Jayaseta? During his life, Devisser de Jaager never took a headache and believed that there were stupid people who he said had the science of inner power. For him, a great swordsman is fast, agile and intelligent in playing his moves and weapons.

But now he felt that the finger protection of complicated branches like gold ropes sprinkled with precious metals that should protect his fingers, now peyot like melted and smashed his fingers. Only this time did he really feel that such science and pain were true.

It was the Dragon Claw style that was fed with deep energy.

Devisser de Jaager was finished, the curved end of the saber had stuck to his neck, breaking through the back, tearing at his skin, flesh and crushing his neck.

Devisser de Jaager was killed instantly.
