"Get off, Commander.That sword is very dangerous!" Rangga shouted when he saw the Lohgender Commander approaching.
"What happened?" asked Commander Lohgender to stave off his steps.
"No time to explain, get out of the way quickly!"said Ranga.
At that time, Pandan Wangi had jumped forward. Rangga raised his sword, and immediately pitted it against Naga Geni's sword. Two sacred weapons violently clashed in the air. Sparks splashed beautifully accompanied by a loud booming explosion sound.
Rangga immediately deployed the 'Eagle Wings Splitting Mega'. His body bounced profusely into the air, then swooped down as he swung his sword swiftly. Pandan Wangi also rotated his sword above his head.
Tring!
Rangga deliberately slashed the tip of the girl's sword, then his hand quickly grabbed the Naga Geni sheath which was attached to Pandan Wangi's back. Like lightning, Rangga's body bounced back into the air. Again he dived sharply while pointing the sheath in his hand at the tip of the Naga Geni sword.
Slap!
Direct red lightdisappeared once the Naga Geni sword entered its shell. And Rangga also immediately put his heirloom sword into the sheath on his back. Pandan Wangi fell limply with his sword lying on the ground. His face turned pale. Rangga approached and picked up the sword that was lying on the ground.
"This is your sword," said Rangga while handing over the sword.
Pandan Wangi raised his head to look at Rangga. He slowly stood up, and shook his head weakly a few times. Twice he almost died under the influence of the Naga Geni sword
"Are you scared?" asked Ranga.
"I can't use a swordThat's it, Brother." Pandan Wangi said softly.
"You have to be able to Pandan. You have to conquer the influence of this sword" Rangga gave encouragement.
Pandan Wangi again shook his head weakly.
"If you don't wanthave it. Then who will have this sword?”
"It's up to you, Big Brother. Or you just have it. You can beat that sword."
"Impossible. Pandan. I already have a weapon. And these two weapons are so opposite, it's impossible to unite."
"But I can't use it anymore. The sword is wild, it can kill anyone who holds it. My energy is sucked, I can't control it, Kakang," sighed Pandan Wangi.
"You haven't completely mastered the art of 'Naga Sewu'. I'm sure, if you have perfect mastered that knowledge, you will surely be able to conquer this sword. The Naga Geni sword can only be used by someone who masters the art of 'Naga Sewu' perfectly," Rangga explained. .
Pandan Wangi looked at Rangga.
"Just like the Sacred Eagle Sword, it must be used with the Sacred Eagle moves. No one will be able to use the Sacred Eagle Sword if they don't perfectly master the Sacred Eagle moves," continued Rangga.
"Is it possible for me to master the art of 'Dragon Sewu', Sis?" asked Pandan Wangi, his spirits rising again.
"Why not? You've mastered the basics, you just have to deepen and perfect them. Yang
it is important now, the book of Naga Sewu is still in your hands. Study the book again and perfect the 'Naga Sewu' moves," Rangga continued to encourage Pandan Wangi's spirit which was almost extinguished.
"How long?"
"Depends on your sincerity, Pandan."
Pandan Wangi no longer refuses when Rangga offers him the Naga Geni Sword which is safely stored in its sheath. The girl put the heirloom sword back on her back. Rangga smiled and turned to look at the Lohgender Commander and several soldiers accompanying him.
"I will take you to a place so that you can calm down and complete the 'Dragon Sewu' moves," said Rangga in a half whisper.
"You alone?" asked Pandan Wangi who had caught Rangga's meaning.
"I will continue this long journey." said Ranga.
"So we split up?"
"We will meet again later, and you have become a formidable female warrior," said Rangga, still encouraging the girl.
"Oh, Sis..." Pandan Wangi sighed, touched.
If only there were no other people around that place, Pandan Wangi would really want to hug this handsome young man who has scratched the recesses of his heart. Pandan Wangi could only stare deeply with various kinds of feelings that were hard to describe. They approached Panglima Lohgender who was waiting some distance away.

"What happened?" asked Commander Lohgender.
"Pandan Wangi can't control his sword," said Rangga.
The Commander of Lohgender looked at Rangga and Pandan Wangi one by one. He still didn't understand the brief explanation. He had eaten a lot of the salt and sour martial world, but had never come across something like this, a powerful weapon capable of disrupting the control of its owner.
"That sword is called Naga Geni, he just lost his owner. And Pandan Wangi is his sole heir. But he can't master that weapon yet, it must take time to get along with the Naga Geni Sword." Rangga tried to explain.
"Is the sword dangerous?" asked Commander Lohgender.
"Yes, it is very dangerous if someone with an evil character possesses it. That sword has a very powerful killing power and influence, it is difficult to subdue it, if it is not accompanied by appropriate moves."
CommanderLohgender wanted to ask again, but the question that had reached his throat did not come out, because one of his soldiers was running out of breath.
"Gusti Commander..." the soldier immediately bowed respectfully.
"What is it?" asked Commander Lohgender."Lord Arya Duta..."
Rangawho heard this immediately jumped into the small hut between the mounds of hilly rocks Pandan Wangi also immediately followed, followed by Commander Lohgender. How surprised was the Lohgender Commander when he saw Arya Duta lying on his back with his chest covered in blood.
Pandan Wangi immediately looked awayhis face. because Arya Duta did not wear any clothes. Rangga immediately picked up the cloth that had been piled on the floor of this small hut, and covered Arya Duta's body. Panglima Lohgender could not say anything else. He just
looked at him with slightly teary eyes."Sorry, I'm late to help him. He died in the hands
the Thousand-faced Devil," said Rangga quietly.
Commander Lohgender said nothing more. He immediately stepped out with a face covered in sorrow. What's more, there was one soldier who escaped and told all the events of the death of Braja Duta along with the other guards. Panglima Lohgender was devastated by the death of his two foster children, whom he trusted and relied on so much.
Two soldiers immediately went inside. They immediately treated Arya Duta's body. Without waiting long, they immediately buried Arya Duta's body. After that, Rangga immediately invited Pandan Wangi to leave the Duchy of Karang Asem.
***
[
The atmosphere in the Duchy of Karang Asem has returned to normal. Commander Lohgender will also leave the duchy the next day with the rest of the soldiers who are still alive.
Meanwhile, Rangga and Pandan Wangi had left the duchy's boundaries far away.
On the way, Rangga was surprised by Pandan Wangi's temperament which suddenly turned quiet. He didn't know what the girl was thinking.
"What do you think, Pandan?" asked Ranga."Nothing," said Pandan Wangi.
"You're still thinking about the Geni Dragon Sword?" guess Ranga.
"Maybe," said Pandan Wangi with a sigh.
"I'll take you all the way to the beach. from thereyou can go straight to Coral Island. I'm sure, in no time you will be able to master the sword, "said Rangga.
Pandan Wangi did not answer. He kept walking
slowly with your head down. It was clear that his attitude had changed a lot from before. Rangga had never seen Pandan Wangi so silent.
"Frankly, Pandan. What's bothering you?" Rangga insisted, he couldn't bear to see Pandan Wangi's attitude like that.
Pandan Wangi stopped his steps. He stared at Rangga deeply. It seemed like there was something to be said, but it was hard to say it. Just the look in his eyes said a lot.
"You think about Klenting Kuning ..?" asked Rangga, guessing in a somewhat restrained voice.
Pandan Wangi looked shocked. He quickly turned his head to look the other way. Slowly his feet swung back a step. Meanwhile the sun was getting higher and higher above the head.
"Are you jealous of the woman who has become a corpse?" guess Rangga again.
"No!" Pandan Wangi said firmly. But the tone of his voice was clearly restrained.
"So?" asked Ranga
"How long before we get to the North Shore?" Pandan Wangi diverted the conversation. It seemed he was reluctant to talk about Klenting Kuning.
"Towards dusk, we will arrive," said Rangga knowingly.
"Where are we staying?"
"Whatever, but if you want, you can cross directly. The trip to Karang Island is not dangerous. The island is a stopover for fishermen."
Pandan Wangi sighed heavily. Actually he didn't want to part with this Sacred Eagle Warrior, but for the sake of the perfection of his knowledge, he had to be able to suppress his feelings. Everything requires sacrifice, and Pandan Wangi realizes that he has to make sacrifices for his own future. He didn't want to wield a weapon without being able to wield.
