Rangga did not immediately return to the Duchy of Karang Asem. He invited Pandan Wangi to see the exact same fort to the east of the Tarik Forest. The condition of the forest, which has many valleys and hills, is difficult to identify its parts. The Sacred Eagle Warrior was stunned for a moment looking down at the bottom of the valley in front of him.
The fort that he had seen last night was now in ruins. Light smoke was still rising from the embers. The entire fort was burned down. But strangely, not a single corpse was visible. Rangga looked at Pandan Wangi who was standing next to him. The girl also looked at him.
"They must be in the Duchy of Karang Asem by now," said Pandan Wangi.
"Great! This must be the work of the Thousand Face Devil," Rangga muttered appreciatively.
"Thousand Face Demon...?!" Pandan Wangi looked surprised."Yes. I have been fooled several times. Yesterday
Even at night I was tricked to get here," Rangga admitted.
"So...!?"
"He disguised himself as you." "Devil!" Pandan Wangi growled. For a moment they were silent contemplating.
"I have to kill that demonic woman, Brother!" Pandan Wangi's determination.
Ranga just smiled. He did not belittle Pandan Wangi's intelligence. But the Thousand Faced Demon was no match for that girl. Besides being able to change his face, the Thousand Face Devil is also very high level of intelligence.
"Come on, Brother. We have to hurry to the Duchy of Karang
Asem!" Pandan Wangi asked. "Wait..!" Rangga suddenly snapped.
At that moment, Arya Duta appeared in a hurry. His clothes are tattered. The young man immediately fell down as soon as he arrived in front of Rangga and Pandan Wangi. Rangga immediately helped Arya Duta to stand up.
"What is it?" asked Ranga.
"Please, my troops have been slaughtered at the edge of the forest ..," said Arya Duta haltingly.
For a moment Rangga stared at Pandan Wangi. Without another word, the girl immediately jumped quickly leaving the two young men. Ranga immediately followed. But....
"Panda, wait!" shouted Rangga loudly. Pandan Wangi immediately stopped running. "Hurry back!" cried Ranga.
As fast as lightning, Rangga jumped to the edge of the valley to the east of the Tarik Forest. Pandan Wangi, who was confused, immediately followed. They were shocked, because the Arya Duta who was left behind, is now no longer there. For a moment they looked.
"Shit! The devil tricked us!" Ranga cursed.Pandan Wangi looked closely at Rangga.
"Come on, let's go straight to the duchy. He must be deliberately trying to hinder our journey!" Ranga said.
The two warriors immediately jumped using the lightening skill. In an instant their bodies had disappeared as if swallowed by the earth. Meanwhile, from behind a large tree, a beautiful woman appeared wearing a yellow dress. In his hand was a shabby tattered garment. His lips curved into a smile, then bounced in the direction where the two warriors went.
***
Meanwhile in the Karang Asem Duchy, Rakapati managed to paralyze the duchy's defenses, including Braja Duta who died after holding out long enough to face Rakapati's trusted troops.
After that Rakapati broke into the main building of the duchy. His face tensed as the door of a room was successfully broken down. You can see that Adipati Prahasta is sitting quietly in the middle of his private room. Rakapati swung his steps closer to the duke who was also his stepfather.
"I already suspected that you were behind all these incidents," said Adipati Prahasta in a low and even voice.
"I have mastered Karang Asem, and soon the Karang Asem Kingdom will stand again. I am the legitimate King of Karang Asem! And you, Prahasta, you must die on the scaffold like a criminal!" cold and depressed in Rakapati's voice.
Rakapati moved his hand. Two men dressed all in black rushed in. Without waiting for another order, they immediately arrested Adipati Prahasta. The fat man didn't put up the slightest bit of resistance. His hands and body were tied with ropes.
Just as Rakapati was about to approach Adipati Prahasta, suddenly another man dressed in black came. He whispered in Rakapati's ear. For a moment Rakapati looked at Adipati Prahasta, then he turned to the person who had whispered in his ear earlier.
"Tell him to wait at the Great Hall," said Rakapati.
Rakapati then ordered several people to guard Adipati Prahasta. Then he rushed out of the room. His steps were wide and hurried toward the Great Hall. She didn't even look back as she entered the large, beautiful room. Rakapati went straight to a high chair with gold plated carvings. He sat on the chair with the regal bearing of a great king. For a moment his eyes
crawled around, then his eyes fell on the two men who sat kneeling in front of him. The two men were Balungpati and Welut Putih.
Balungpati and Welut Putih paid their respects. Rakapati raised his hand slightly. Behind Balungpati and Welut Putih, sat four people dressed all in black. They were the Poison Claw Demon, Dragon Bay Twin Demon and Blood Drinking Demon Woman. Rakapati smiled broadly triumphantly. He succeeded in controlling the Duchy of Karang Asem without significant resistance. His army was too formidable for the duchy's guards to be easily subdued
"I am bringing about three hundred Gusti soldiers." said Balungpati while worshiping.
"Hmm, great!" snorted Rakapati happily. "Wre theywill be loyal to me?"
"They are people chosen by me. And most of them are students from Welut Putih," Balungpati turned to Welut Putih who was sitting beside him.
"That's right, Gusti. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I and my brother Balungpati have deliberately become soldiers in the Duchy of Karang Asem. I always hope and prepare young men and soldiers who are loyal to the lord Gusti Prabu Sirandana. They can all be relied on , Gusti. I personally trained them all," said Welut Putih explaining.
"Thank you. I am deeply moved by the loyalty of the two uncles. Sorry if I ever suspected you and hated you because you served the enemy," Rakapati had a big heart. "I promise, I will not forget your services that have provided me with valuable information."
Balungpati and Welut Putih immediately saluted. "Well, from now on, I'm handing over the leadership
soldier on the two uncles," said Rakapati.
"Servant do it, Lord." said Balungpati and Welut Putih in unison.
"Organize guard, and wipe out every Limbangan soldier it encounters."
Balungpati and Welut Putih returned to give worship. Then they shuffled away from the large room. Rakapati looked at the four people dressed all in black who were still sitting cross-legged on the floor. They immediately stood up and took their seats in chairs that were neatly lined up in front of Rakapati to sit on.
"I'd like all of you to stay here for a while. I'm worried that the Lohgender Commander and Arya Duta will attack here. They must die, also all the Limbangan soldiers must die." Rakapati said.
"Don't worry, even without soldiers I can finish them off," said Dark Dragon, one of Dragon Bay's Twin Demons.
"I believe you are powerful figures of sparring. But don't underestimate Commander Lohgender. He is also hard to beat."
"Leave him to me!" The Blood-drinking Demon woman clapped her chest as she chuckled.
Rakapati smiled happily. Then he got up, and left the room. The four black martial arts figures immediately left.
They took off the black clothes they were wearing, and threw them away. They really prefer to wear clothes that have become their own characteristics.
***
Panglima Lohgender who has joined AryaDuta, arrived at the border of the Duchy of Karang Asem with the Tarik Forest. Nearly six hundred soldiers followed closely behind. They continued to move straight towards
residence of Duke Prahasta. Panglima Lohgender felt something strange. All the way through looked deserted. No residents were found. All houses are tightly closed. Arya Duta also feels the same way.
Arya Duta raised his hand high. He jumped off his horse with the soldiers behind him. This strange situation made Arya Duta and Panglima Lohgender to be more vigilant. Commander Lohgender ordered ten soldiers to check the situation. But just as they took a few fathoms, dozens of arrows rushed towards them, until inevitably their bodies collapsed one by one with muffled screams.
"Demon!" Arya Duta growled, seeing that ten of his soldiers were instantly killed by arrows.
Immediately, from behind the trees and people's houses and thickets of bushes, people dressed all in black appeared. They were jumping and running around attacking.
"Attack...!" shouted Arya Duta loudly.
The battle is unavoidable. The soldiers of the Limbangan Kingdom fought like hungry and wounded lions. Every slash of the sword or thrust of the spear, always asks for life. Screams of war and screams of death mingled into one. Bodies covered in blood were scattered aimlessly. Near the border of the Duchy of Karang Asem turned into a battlefield. The clink of weapons and the frenzied whirring of arrows cut through the air. Countless, how many victims fell on both sides.
"White Welut!" Arya Duta was shocked to see the White Welut coming and immediately attacked the soldiers of the Limbangan Kingdom.
Arya Duta tilted his body towards the White Welut. His sword flashed quickly. Welut Putih was stunned for a moment, he immediately jumped to avoid Arya Duta's sword slash. They face each other
stare with red eyes."Traitor!" growled Arya Duta.
"Hhh! You forgot, Arya Duta. I am the son of Karang Asem," replied Welut Putih hissing.
"I should have suspected you from the start, White Welut."
"Too late, because soon you will be dead!
And all your soldiers too!"
"Satan! I will kill you, traitor!" growled Arya Duta.Arya Duta immediately lunged fiercely.
His sword flashed quickly and locked Welut Putih's body. In a not too long time, the two of them have deployed tens of their flagship moves. When entering the thirtieth moment, welut Putih seemed to be starting to get desperate. Welut Putih is indeed no match for Arya Duta. He could be proud of the Duchy of Karang Asem, but his level of intelligence was still below that of the Limbangan Kingdom's Commander-in-Chief's adopted son.
"I do not care!! Hahahaha..!" shouted Arya Duta suddenly.
Instantly his feet flew towards Welut Putih's chest which was slightly vacant. Welut Putih fended off by waving his weapon, but apparently the kick was just a trick, because Arya Duta immediately withdrew his leg accompanied by a flick of the sword towards the neck.
Crashes!
"Aaahh...!" The White Welut let out a long groan.
Blood immediately spurted from the neck which was slashed wide open, then the body slumped to the ground. It floundered for a moment, then remained motionless again. The White Welut died horribly by the sword of a man who once called him uncle.
“Rotten human, I am your opponent!”
There was a loud bang accompanied by internal exertion. Arya Duta immediately turned his head and jumped out of the arena where he had fought with the white welut. His spit gushed at the sight of an old man in black robes. His body was emaciated, tall as a pole
bamboo. He was the Poison Claw Demon.
"He... he... he... I should have left it to the Thousand-faced Devil he must like you." Poison Claw Demon chuckled at Arya Duta's handsome face.
"Phuih! Don't talk too much, you devil! Come on, if you want to feel my sword!" snorted Arya Duta.
A yellow shadow suddenly shot out, and suddenly standing beside the Poison Claw Demon, a beautiful woman wearing a yellow dress with a flower tucked into her ear. The tight clothes, forming a beautiful slender body, made Arya Duta's eyes unable to blink at her.
"Ah, just caught my heart, you've come." greeted the Poison Claw Demon, grinning seeing Klenting Kuning or the Thousand Face Demon already standing beside him.
"Thank you, you really know my taste," said Klenting Kuning with a sweet smile.
Klenting Kuning stared at Arya Duta without blinking. That handsome face made his appetite rise full of frenzy. Several times Klenting Kuning swallowed its own saliva. He is always excited when he sees a handsome young man, especially one who has a high level of intelligence, his passion immediately rises.
"I'll stay first, cutie. Have fun you guys." said the Poison Claw Demon immediately darting away. A chuckle came from his small thin mouth.
"Hm..., what's your name, good boy?" asked Klenting Kuning gently while reviewing a seductive smile.
"Don't try to seduce me, devil woman!" snorted Arya Duta. "I don't care about the beauty of your face, whoever is behind Rakapati must be killed at the tip of my sword!"
"Ha... ha... ha..." Klenting Kuning laughed crisply. "I like a handsome boy like you"
"Phuih!"
Arya Duta immediately shouted loud and shrill. His body soared high into the air, then quickly
swooped down while waving his sword a few times. Klenting Kuning just squealed spoiledly, she tilted her body slightly so that Arya Duta's sword just grabbed the wind.
Klenting Kuning still has a seductive sweet smile. Her body movements are very graceful. He seemed to underestimate his opponent. Even so, not even the tip of Arya Duta's sword touched the tip of her hair. Every time Arya Duta's sword flashed fast. Klenting Kuning only dodged slightly with a graceful movement. Without realizing it, the battle had lasted more than ten moves.
"Hiyaa...!" suddenly Arya Duta shouted loudly. Jumping up, he flicked his sword swiftly. Klenting Kuning screamed spoiled, she immediately backed away, and Arya Duta's sword flick returned to an empty spot. When the young man's body was still above, Klenting Kuning's hand suddenly pushed towards the young man's body. A streak of green light rushed out.
"Ah!" Arya Duta shrieked.
Can't be prevented anymore. The green needle released by Klenting Kuning pierced his chest. Arya Duta immediately fell down without moving. His body felt weak and powerless. Klenting Kuning widened her smile. He stepped closer to the young man's body. With just one lift, Arya Duta's body was already in its tightness.
"We're going to have fun first, good boy," said Klenting Kuning as he darted away.
"Aryan Ambassador...!" cried Commander Lohgender.
The Commander of the Limbangan Kingdom immediately jumped to attack, but several people dressed in all black had already stopped him. Commander Lohgender was forced to serve his attackers. His attention to Arya Duta is disturbed.
***
At that time Rangga and Pandan Wangi had arrived in the Duchy of Karang Asem. They were surprised to see the battle was already fierce. The Commander of Lohgender was seen fighting like an angry bull while shouting and encouraging his soldiers. Rangga holds Pandan Wangi's hand who wants to join the battle.
"Remember, Pandan. Don't get involved in their affairs. We'll only jump in if a martial arts figure intervenes," said Rangga.
Before Pandan Wangi even opened his mouth, his eyes caught sight of two male twins flashing swiftly at the soldiers of the Limbangan Kingdom. Without waiting any longer, the girl immediately shook off Rangga's grip. Like an arrow released from his bow, Pandan Wangi immediately slanted his body towards the two twins.
The arrival of Pandan Wangi makes the devilThe Dragon Bay Twins were shocked. Moreover, the girl directly attacked him. Pandan Wangi deliberately took them out of the battle arena. They fought outside of the soldiers exchanging fists. Pandan Wangi fights using his magic steel fan.
Several times the Death Fan broke the Dragon Bay Twin Demon's attacks, making it difficult for the twins to face him. But in the following moves, it was obvious that the situation had reversed. Pandan Wangi is now overwhelmed, and always under pressure. The cooperation of the twin figures is very neat and the attacks are one after another.
Pandan,use the Geni Dragon Sword!" shouted Rangga. Rangga, who had been watching the way of the
fighting, could tell that Pandan Wangi was very desperate. But he did not want to interfere in defending the girl. Rangga sticks to his principles as a warrior.
Drag!
Dragon Bay Twin Demons immediately jumped back as soon as they saw the prestige of Naga Geni's sword. The air around the girl suddenly became hot.
Pandan Wangi is like an angel of deathwith the Naga Geni sword in his hand.
Suddenly, Pandan Wangi felt something strange running through his body. The girl felt her body become light as cotton. And the lust to kill rushed into his body uncontrollably. The prestige of the Naga Geni sword begins to permeate the girl's body and soul. Suddenly, Pandan Wangi screamed loudly, and his body bounced high into the air. The sword that radiated a fiery red glow like fire was rotating rapidly towards the Dragon Bay Twin Devils.
Twin DevilsDragon Bay jumped as soon as he felt the heat grab his body. They were stunned to feel the awesomeness of the sword. But Pandan Wangi no longer gave another chance. The first attack failed, immediately followed by the next attack that is no less fast.
"Look out, Adi White Dragon...!" shouted the Black Dragon suddenly.
At that time, the Geni Dragon Sword flashed swiftly towards the White Dragon's chest. So fast was the slash of the sword, that it rendered the White Dragon unable to do anything else, and....
"Aaah. !" The White Dragon shrieked loudly.
Blood immediately spurted out from the chest which had been split and charred by the Naga Geni sword in Pandan Wangi's hands. Not to mention that the White Dragon's body collapsed onto the ground. Pandan Wangi had bounced back towards the Dark Dragon. Of course one of the Dragon Bay Twin Demons was taken aback.
"Hey!" The Dark Dragon raised its weapon.Tring!
The two weapons clashed loudly, sparks sparks. The Black Dragon gasped in surprise, as his weapon was stumped
so two parts. Not to mention the shock, suddenly he was thrown high into the air. Pandan Wangi's feet flew in the air, as fast as lightning Pandan Wangi chased after him.
"Hiya, hiyaa...!"
"Aaahh...!" The Black Dragon let out a shrill scream.
Two successive slashes cut throughthe Dark Dragon's body was divided into three parts. The dismembered body collapsed to the ground. Pandan Wangi slumped down again, and immediately beat the people dressed in black. An uproar broke out immediately, because Pandan Wangi was like a slaying angel that was difficult to contain.
"Woe!" hiss Rangga who always pay attention to the girl.
Without wasting any more time. The Sacred Eagle warrior immediately jumped over to Pandan Wangi.
Pandanus! Quickly let go of that sword!" Rangga shouted as he jumped to avoid Pandan Wangi's sword.
"You can't, Brother. This sword moves by itself to control me!" Pandan Wangi said a little breathless.
"All of you get out of the way!" shouted Rangga ordering the people around Pandan Wangi to get out of the way.
Pandan Wangi really couldn't control the Naga Geni sword. He now even attacks Rangga who tries to take him away from the battle arena. At that moment, two figures floated over. They were the Blood Drinking Demon Woman and the Poison Claw Demon. Seeing that Pandan Wangi was unrestrained by his own sword, the two black figures took advantage of it.
"Damn devil! You guys want to die, heh!" snapped Rangga angrily.
"He... he... he..., Poison Claw Devil, you face the female. Let me serve this good boy." said the Blood Drinking Demon Woman.
“But remember, you must not kill him. Leave him to the Thousand Faced Demon as a reward,” the Poison Claw Demon replied.
"Phuih! I like him too, let him be my ex!"
"Up to you!"
The Poison Claw Demon immediately charged at Pandan Wangi. Meanwhile, the Blood-Drinking Demon Woman immediately attacked Rangga. This made the Sacred Eagle Warrior sick. Meanwhile, he was also worried about Pandan Wangi's condition, which could no longer control itself due to the influence of the Naga Geni sword.
The anger that had gripped Rangga made the Sacred Eagle Warrior unable to control himself any longer. He immediately pulled out the Sacred Eagle sword from its sheath. Immediately, a sparkling blue light burst forth from the sword. The Blood Drinking Demon woman gasped at the sword's prestige.
"You're a devil, hiyaaa...!" shouted Rangga loudly.
As fast as lightning Rangga swung his sword towards his opponent's body. The female demon, who had been flabbergasted, immediately bent her body to avoid it, but Rangga's attack, which was so fast, was still able to injure the woman's leg.
"Ah!" The Blood-drinking Ibtis shrieked in disbelief.
Before he even had the chance to set his foot on the ground, Rangga already waved his sword again. This time a shrill scream rang out from the Blood Drinking Demon Woman's mouth. Rangga immediately turned his head towards Pandan Wangi.
"Hiya...!"
The Sacred Eagle warrior jumped as fast as lightning while waving his sword. The Poison Claw Devil, who was having a hard time blocking Pandan Wangi's attack, had no time to avoid Rangga's attacks. He screamed loudly as he felt his neck cut by the sword.
"Come on, Pandan. Quickly follow me!" cried Ranga.
Rangga deliberately complains about his sword with the Naga Geni sword in the hands of Pandan Wangi. Instantly, Pandan Wangi turned his attention to Rangga who had already dashed off towards the Tarik Forest. Pandan Wangi, who was no longer able to control the influence of the Geni Dragon Sword, immediately jumped after the Sacred Eagle Warrior. The two bodies immediately chased towards the Tarik Forest. Meanwhile, the battle between the soldiers of the Limbangan Kingdom, led directly by Commander Lohgender, continued to be fierce. But now it can be seen that the followers of Rakapati are starting to be pushed back.
"Commander, quickly find Rakapati inside!" Rangga's voice echoed, even though the person was no longer there.
Panglima Lohgender was no longer surprised. He understands thata powerful warrior, must be able to send out sound without meaning. Immediately he jumped out of the fray. For a moment he could forget about Arya Duta who was brought by the Thousand Face Demon.
