"You just came back?" King Aji Kala Karna reprimanded Maghanada Indrajit. He was watering his flower collection in the back garden.
"I have extended an invitation to my brothers. They will be here soon." Maghanada Indrajit came with another human body."Your previous body has been destroyed? What is it, Indrajit?" Aji Kala Karna became curious."Asura has risen and wants to take revenge on all of us. Three of my brothers have died at his hands. Even I was cornered and left my host." Maghanada Indrajit was worried by the appearance of his eldest brother.Aji Kala Karna gave her a letter from one of the generals who had just returned from an expedition in the western part of Yawadwipa. Aji Kala Karna informed in the letter that there were humans who made blood contracts with demons. The king did not know that Asura could make blood contracts with humans. Instead, he thought that it must be due to divine intervention.The full moon illuminated the southern coast with stars by its side. Arya Santanu tried to fall asleep on the belly of Asura who was in tiger form. Both seemed to be fast asleep accompanied by a warm campfire. Ki Janggan Nayantaka and Dewi Sari Kencana chose to stay awake in anticipation of an ambush. "It will be very dangerous if we walk in public places, such as through large villages. We must disguise ourselves and avoid the center of the crowd." Ki Janggan Nayantaka had a bad feeling after the announcement of the contest. "We must somehow end the demon domination in the land of Yawadwipa. Even if I have to fight all the strong warriors in all corners of Yawadwipa, I will not back down." Dewi Sari Kencana added more firewood to the fire."I hope your spirit is comparable to our struggle later. Because if not, then you will lose." Ki Janggan Nayantaka glanced at the South Coast village. Nothing was visible from the back door of the village. However, Ki Janggan Nayantaka knew very
Arya Santanu and Asura were instantly blown away by the high sound waves that turned into shockwaves. Both of them were thrown far away in both directions. Asura was thrown to the seaside and his fire was extinguished. His body seemed to be forcefully thrown away by the energy pressure generated by the sound of the lute. "Are you okay?" Dewi Sari Kencana had to hold Arya Santanu's body that was thrown towards her."That was very violent. The energy field that enveloped her was so—" Arya Santanu's words were suddenly cut off. Aseng came out of hiding and immediately drew his shadow sword towards Ki Janggan Nayantaka."Grandpa!""Ki Janggan Nayantaka!" They screamed as the elongated shadow sword pierced the old hermit's back through the abdomen. "You son of a bitch! I forgot that he was still there." Ki Janggan Nayantaka stomped his staff. He made an artificial moon the
On a new day, there were three horses galloping along the main road between the Nuswapala district and northern Yawadwipa. After finishing their business on the South Coast, Arya Santanu and his two companions rushed towards the northern harbor. "Why rush? We can take it easy and reach the northern port the day after tomorrow, right?" Asura, who was running ahead in tiger form, was exhausted. "We're racing against time to avoid being tracked by the black demon warriors. It will be very dangerous if our location is known by them." Arya Santanu tried to explain. "There is a fairly friendly area ahead of us. The area is known as Banda Indung. We can rest there to eat and buy supplies." Ki Janggan Nayantaka turned his head to the right. He looked into the distance. He seemed to see someone who kept watching them.Dewi Sari Kencana turned to the old man, she saw Ki Janggan Nayantaka's gaze always pointed to the right. He seemed to be focusing his attention on something on the right. "W
Arya Santanu moved his hand to prepare a burst of fire from his mouth. But just as he was about to do so, Larasati swung her sword in the direction of all the arrows. She thwarted the attack and dropped all the arrows aimed at Arya Santanu. Larasati stood proudly in front of her amateur warrior and praying mantis friend. "Wow, I'll give you a nine for the sword swing. And for knocking down all those arrows, I'll give you a ten!" Asura clapped his praying mantis hands together. "What are you doing?" Arya Santanu was confused by the woman's actions."That's called helping. Don't you know the word 'thank you'? Do you need to ask such stupid things?" Larasati was hurt. She felt annoyed."Excuse me, can we continue this debate later? There's a rain of arrows approaching here!" Asura turned his head towards the soldiers who were starting to draw their bowstrings again.Larasati immediately pulled Arya Santanu's hand and invited him to jump over the high wall in front of his eyes. "What?
In the distance, four humans and a small crimson mouse walked side by side as they entered the Sundapura region. It was the first largest territory in the western Nuswapala Kingdom. Sundapura was a region with a very high population density. Trade and fishing commodities were one of the economic drivers in the region.They turned to the people of Sundapura who were enjoying a new day in the morning. A large market was set up in front of them. So many goods were traded that they were interested in some of the merchandise of the Sundapura merchants. And in no time, they scattered to different stalls."Oh my. Why did they leave me?! They left a rat alone in the market?! Don't they know that my life could be in danger because of the presence of-" Asura heard something from behind.MEOW!A black-furred stray cat stood right behind Asura. "Cat?!" "Right, the predators that often prey on mice are cats. So what, it's just a cat." Asura monologued to himself. When the cat wanted to ambush h
Rangga Jaya and the uninvited guests sat at the round dining table eating dishes made by Larasati and Ki Janggan Nayantaka. Although delicious, the dishes were made from ingredients that belonged to the young man who happened to be troubled by the arrival of Arya Santanu and his cursed friends. "Raden Jaya Balangkara is our leader who worships the demon Hirayaksa. When his father ruled Sundapura, he hated rules or anything to do with royal affairs." Rangga Jaya deeply regretted his family's situation."These evil spirits, do they come from Hirayaksa or other demons that Hirayaksa recommends?" Arya Santanu asked."I'm not sure if they came from Hirayaksa directly or Raden Jaya Balangkara made a contract with another demon. However, there are five pillar guards at Raden Jaya Balangkara's residence. They are referred to as the five pillar warriors. If you want to know about these evil spirits, the best place to find out is at Raden Jaya Balangkara's second residence." Rangga Jaya tried
DOOM!The huge shock from the impact of Arya Santanu's fist with Brahma Angkara's sword created a shockwave that rolled through the surrounding air and almost killed the torches due to the strong wind. Arya Santanu was surprised when his attack was parried easily by Brahma Angkara. Even faster, Brahma Angkara was able to move quickly with his lightning power towards Arya Santanu's back. He pulled the fire demon's armor at the back and threw Arya Santanu's body towards the entrance.One throw sent Arya Santanu flying. "Wh-what?! Can he deflect it?" Arya Santanu was shocked."That sword is the weapon of Lord Agni. Be careful." Asura whispered in Arya Santanu's heart."Then let's step up our game!" Arya Santanu attacked again. He swung the fire toya quickly towards Brahma Angkara.Arya Santanu wielded the fire toya with such agility that it was difficult for Brahma Angkara to get rid of the toya. However, Brahma Angkara's Agnesura sword was still able to withstand the onslaught of the
A flash of light in the form of energy shot out quickly and startled Brahma Angkara. He gasped as the energy pierced his right shoulder. The white energy shot was unavoidable for the five-pillar warrior. The blood that came out and was about to fall to the floor was stopped momentarily by Aji Sangkala's quick movement that controlled Arya Santanu's body. When the blood was on the floor, Aji Sangkala was already behind Brahma Angkara."So fast!" Brahma Angkara was shocked. Aji Sangkala's right hand, which had been enveloped in silvery white lightning, shot through Brahma Angkara's back and into his chest. "Wh-what?" Brahma Angkara could not dodge. "You're ...." Brahma Angkara realized who his opponent was.The five-pillar warrior's body suddenly writhed and bubbles appeared on his skin like blisters. Slowly the bubbles enlarged and burst into a huge explosion of fire. DOOM!The explosion devoured Aji Sangkala's body. The shockwave destroyed the altar of Brahma Angkara. The torches
