The Thousand Mask Warrior

Sanaman Mantikei

The Do bar of the Power tribe's braking soldiers was re-spun. Its handles are shaped to resemble the heads of birds adorned with human hair, a victim of their headhunting. There are also some holes on the back of the blade that are thick and blunt, with brass, tin and possibly gold. These holes are a sign of the number of victims they managed to kill.

Many Do are made with iron and steel materials from various places in the far reaches of Tanjung Pura, as well as the Karimata archipelago which is famous for its iron trade.

However, specifically Do, there is an area in the Central Tanjung Pura island region, in a stream, which is rich in raw materials for this weapon. The name of the river is Mantikei. While the material in question is not iron ore, but rocks that are rich in iron elements in it, also called Sanaman Mantikei.

These rocks are dug from the riverbed, then melted down to get the metal. Forging is done on this stone whose iron element is very soft and pliable when formed, but sharp and strong after so.

Of course not all Do or Power tribe sharp weapons are made using materials that there is only one in the area, but one of these three soldiers does have Do sanaman mantikei.

Jayaseta plays both of his arms in the form of Malay silat flowers. This is an act of Jayaseta out of his habit. Quite surprising because Jayaseta, who is famous for its Jurorless Style, without using a certain style but in each movement contained a variety of styles that are applied as needed, as needed, this time decided to use a style that is clearly part of the Pattani silat as well as Malacca.

His arms play around like a dancer. His ten fingers open and close with a lentic. While the legs, hips and chest work together to form a round and a variety of other movements.

One Power warrior decided to attack. It gives an unusually quick long shot.

Jayaseta has to admit that every Do attack of these soldiers is done so quickly and purposefully. The reading is always earnest in a long pull.

He concluded that the warrior Do style of this Power silat aims to remove the head from his body, or kill the enemy in a single slash. Eating speed and energy is key.

Jayaseta backed off nimbly. The slash was only a short distance away from his body.

The warrior Daya fixed his horses and looked at Jayaseta.

It's true what Jayaseta has observed. These warriors had a fighting style that had similarities with the Japanese Samurai.

Each slash is very calculated, although this Do has a length that is more like a machete than a Katana or even an ordinary sword.

Golok is played to read and slice, while Do, while also very capable of stabbing, is used more to chop up the break.

Jayaseta finally has the edge because of the understanding of their moves, not just imitation. So when the same soldier attacked for the second time. Jayaseta twitched, spinning nimbly, but as he advanced.

With all the Silat Gayong and Silat Pattani moves, Jayaseta deals a blow to the enemy's jaw, immersing one kick into his heart, before Do who had already cut long back to the early horses of the attack.

The soldier staggered while enduring the pain in his heart.

Jayaseta advanced quickly, his feet dabbling on the marshy ground. The Daya warrior realized that Jayaseta was attacking and he was ready to welcome. Unfortunately, what he faced was a swordsman choose a match, absolutely not an ordinary opponent. Jayaseta is too fast for him.

Jayaseta brushed off the full-fledged arm that raised Do, right in the weak muscle in her upper arm. Of course, this kind of attack does not require deep energy, but speed, accuracy, and energy the results of body training.

Do the soldier fell on the ground in the water.

Not wasting a chance, Jayaseta smashed his neck, chest, stomach with fists from both hands. This attack was carried out at an incredible speed, so that in one breath there were dozens of blows thrown.

The soldier collapsed. Jayaseta jumped, setting both feet against the opponent's body. Unmitigated, the enemy's body sank to the ground.

Jayaseta even had time to step on the face of the opponent, convincing the soldier to stay there and not rise again.

However, so did the other two Power warriors. Of course they don't want Jayaseta to use this opportunity. Their comrades have been knocked down in recent times, without weapons. That alone had already shown the prowess of this swordsman before them.

Therefore, as a result, before Jayaseta could grab Do belonging to their colleagues, the two attacked simultaneously.

Jayaseta expected it first. He decided to welcome the attack of one of the Daya soldiers who had been hit by the gold Dara Cempaka pound on his thigh. This is because the movement of the soldier is a little slower than the other one.

The Power Warrior whose attack first reached Jayaseta was a soldier who used Do made of manganesei. The do is dark in color with a few holes in the blade. Do had scratched the skin of Jayaseta's shoulder, but no more than an incision as deep as the wound scratches due to reeds.

The other soldier with a slightly slower movement did not have time to release an attack on Jayaseta because his thigh was injured by the golden konde Dara Cempaka, was hit by Jayaseta.

He screamed and lost balance. Jayaseta attacked with his knees, right in the hull of the enemy.

In the state of the enemy's careless and weak, Jayaseta used the opportunity to lock the arms of the enemy who grasped Do and lift him to deny the continued attack from the warrior Power with his manganesei.

TRINGS!

Sparks of fire illuminate the darkness of the night behind the trees. The night light was only aided by moonlight that propagated through the sidelines of the leaves and dim rays far away, coming from the house of Datuk Mas Kuning.

Do sanaman mantikei the warrior Daya did not hit Jayaseta because Jayaseta used his other partner Do to fend off by locking his arm.

It's just that, because of the strength of the attack and the quality of this Do san mantikei, the swipe still penetrated the defensive fort and injured his own partner's shoulder.

The screams of pain echoed.

Jayaseta was still holding the arm that was holding Do. As fast as lightning he twisted the arm back and slit the opponent's neck.

One more driver fell.

Jayaseta stands with Do in hand, looking at the opponent who turns away in anger.

Karsa chuckled even out loud. The remaining braggart hissed without looking at him, "Bang*sat you Karsa. Two of my friends were killed and you thought this was a joke!"

"Ha ha ... This is not a friend's joke, this is a reality that you and your villagers must know, what kind of challenge you are really facing," Karsa said while holding back his laughter.

Jayaseta did not understand the meaning of their conversation. But in the meantime he doesn't care. He was guarding his own life, as well as the other person who was with him, Dara Cempaka. The girl however was his responsibility now.

"If it wasn't for my duty to follow your wishes, it would be you that I would kill now, Karsa," the head coach with Do sanaman mantikei told Karsa.

The one who was taught spoke again laughed, "I know, I know ... But look at it now, you're also lusting after the swordsman, aren't you? You want to paddle his head to take back to the village, right? Ha ha ha ..."

The soldier silently smiled. I don't know what's really going on between Karsa and these Power people. A deal for the sake of what sort of thing was going on between them.

So, what got Jayaseta involved?

Jayaseta plays Do by playing her wrist.

The braking Daya tribe who grasped Do sanaman mantikei smiled wider. He saw the swordsman was taking the essence of his braking moves by fusing with unfamiliar moves.

This fighter has killed two colleagues in several times. True Karsa said, this is really something that he needs to know and the reality that he has to face.
