Rengga grinned. To the soldiers, that smile was like a death alarm, signaling that their souls were about to be taken to Nirvana. Their minds were completely dominated by the god of death, who seemed to be dancing right before their eyes.In the midst of overwhelming fear, a glimmer of hope emerged when the sound of galloping hooves thundered in the distance, pounding against the earth. Shouts of encouragement, urging the horses to go faster, echoed from different mouths.The soldiers turned around. Their smiles formed with a hint of relief. At the very least, with the arrival of another cavalry force rushing to join them, their hope of survival was rekindled.Like the soldiers, Rengga and Ratnasari also turned their gaze toward the approaching cavalry, which was far larger in number than before.Based on Rengga’s rough estimate, there were around five hundred to six hundred cavalry troops who would soon arrive at their location. Their minds quickly started calculating—whether to figh

Rengga and Ratnasari never expected that a soldier would detect their presence. A small mistake by Ratnasari, who leaned her head out too far, resulted in their hiding spot behind the large rock being discovered.Thousands of eyes followed the direction of the soldier's pointing finger. None of them had anticipated that two people were secretly observing the Cakrabuana Kingdom's forces in the valley.A suspicion arose among the soldiers. They were convinced that the two spies belonged to the Jaya Buana Kingdom."Capture them both!" The thunderous voice of a tall, burly man issued the command. The sword already drawn in his hand pointed at Rengga and Ratnasari. He was Commander Antasena, the warlord of the Cakrabuana Kingdom.As soon as Commander Antasena’s order was heard, thousands of soldiers rushed forward like a tidal wave toward the two individuals they suspected were spies.Their swords and spears were drawn, ready to stri

Rengga’s instincts, which had sharpened immensely under Sarwana’s training, immediately alerted him to movement heading in the opposite direction of their own. Even from a distance, he could sense a presence emitting energy—though he could not yet determine whether it belonged to a man or a woman.Spotting a moderately sized rock overgrown with shrubs, Rengga quickly chose it as their hiding place.“What’s wrong, Kakang?” Ratnasari asked, curiosity flickering in her eyes.“Ssshh… Suppress your energy as much as possible! There’s a warrior ahead,” Rengga whispered, pressing a finger to his lips.Ratnasari immediately understood why Rengga had pulled her behind the rock. Without hesitation, she suppressed her energy to the point that it completely vanished. Even Rengga, standing right beside her, could no longer sense it.Rengga frowned in surprise. He was baffled by how easily she managed to erase her energy without struggling. Given her y

Not long after the massacre that claimed the lives of approximately a thousand members of the dark sect loyal to King Dharma Kusuma, the Cakrabuana royal forces finally arrived at the valley.The pungent stench of blood and the sight of lifeless bodies strewn across the ground made tens of thousands of eyes widen in shock. Especially since each corpse had at least two arrows embedded in it.Judging by the countless arrows scattered about, missing their targets, it was evident that the attack on the dark sect had been executed with precision and meticulous preparation.The soldiers’ gazes reflected a creeping fear that slowly took hold of their minds. This fear was understandable, as most of them were newly recruited after the Kertabuana Kingdom was divided into two. They had never experienced the horrors of war before.One soldier hurried toward the royal carriage to report the grim discovery to King Dharma Kusuma.Kneeling before the lux

Utilizing her inner energy, the beautiful young woman briefly floated in the air. Swiftly, she drew the twin Black Eagle Swords that were neatly crossed on her back.Then, she spread her arms wide, spun once, and shot downward with both blades positioned in front of her."Eagle Swords of Demon Extermination!" she shouted.Supranata was startled by the speed at which the young woman drew both swords and launched an attack at him.Not wanting to fall prey to her technique, Supranata quickly unsheathed his sword to block the attack."Come on, you old geezer!" Ratnasari slashed both her swords simultaneously at two different vital points—Supranata’s neck and abdomen.The old man panicked, overwhelmed by the two rapid attacks aimed at his life. Blocking just one was impossible because the other would surely pierce him. His only option for survival was to leap away and evade the strikes.But Ratnasari had no intentio

"Heavenly Ruler Staff!" Arya swung his staff with immense power, aiming to end Wirakrama once and for all.But the old man was faster. He pointed the handle of his snake-headed staff at Arya. Thick black smoke suddenly burst forth, engulfing Arya and rendering him immobile.Arya knew the smoke was aimed at him, but he had no time to evade as his body was already mid-air, lunging forward at high speed."What is this? What kind of technique is this?" Arya struggled to move, but his body refused to obey. He tried to channel his energy to neutralize the strange art that had paralyzed him, but he was too late—Wirakrama’s strike had already landed on his stomach."Aaaakh!"Arya was sent flying backward, his back crashing into a massive tree. The loud sound of cracking wood echoed as the tree collapsed onto the others around it.Blood trickled from Arya’s lips due to the force of the strike. He immediately stood up, wiping the
