2025-01-04 11:04:48Arya jumped several steps back in shock. The dragon he had seen earlier, which appeared not too big while flying in the air, turned out to be enormous, about three times the size of an adult elephant.
The handsome young man could only stand frozen. His knees trembled violently, especially when he saw the sharp gaze of the creature's eyes in front of him. It was precisely the same sight he had seen before.
The massive dragon writhed its head a few times and let out a loud sound as if expressing its anger. Its crimson eyes remained fixed on the human figure before it.
Not knowing what to do, Arya stood still. The dragon did nothing either. They simply stared at each other for what felt like an eternity.
Lacking certainty, Arya decided to speak, even though he wasn’t sure whether the dragon could understand him.
“Excuse me… I have no ill intentions whatsoever. I came here because I saw the bright red light from afar.”
The dragon let out a low growl while moving its head. Arya couldn’t understand what it meant.
“As for that sword, I have no intention of taking what isn’t mine. Let the sword remain there forever. If I may, I’d like to take my leave,” Arya said.
Without waiting for the dragon’s response, Arya turned around to return to his training ground. But after taking only four steps, a deep voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
“Stop, young man!”
Arya’s eyes widened in disbelief. He never imagined that the dragon could speak. He closed his eyes and swallowed hard. Fear coursed through his mind. If forced to fight, there was no way he could defeat a dragon of that size, especially one radiating such immense energy.
“Come back, young man!” the voice echoed again.
Arya let out a heavy sigh. He needed to gather his courage to turn back around.
Once he felt mentally prepared, the handsome young man mustered his bravery and turned to face the dragon.
There was a noticeable difference in his view. The dragon’s once crimson eyes had shifted to a calming shade of blue.
“There’s something I need to ask you, young man,” the massive dragon said.
Arya nodded slightly. “Please, what do you wish to ask?”
“How do you possess an element of my world? Who are you, truly?”
“I don’t understand what you mean,” Arya replied. He genuinely didn’t know that his body had unknowingly absorbed an element from the dragon’s world.
“Don’t lie!” the dragon’s deep voice roared. The gust of air from its mouth shook Arya to his core. Its wide eyes flared red once more.
“I wouldn’t dare lie to you. I truly don’t know what you mean,” Arya said, swallowing hard.
The dragon stared intently at Arya. Its eyes gradually returned to their calming blue hue. It saw no trace of deceit in the young man’s expression. Could it be that this young man was the cause of the commotion in the dragon’s world, leading to its displacement into the human realm?
“What exactly were you doing yesterday?”
Arya began to understand the dragon’s question. But could his actions really have drawn the massive dragon to Earth?
Slowly, Arya explained to the dragon what he had done the previous day. He also apologized if his actions had caused the dragon any disturbance.
“There’s something you must know, young man… You didn’t just pull me into your world, but you also caused a major uproar in the dragon’s world. The barrier shrouding our realm was breached because of your actions,” the dragon explained.
“But I didn’t know my actions would cause such chaos in your world,” Arya defended himself.
“Logically speaking, how could someone like me, who has only begun learning martial arts, breach your world? I didn’t even know there was a dragon’s world until now. How can you blame me?” he added.
Hearing Arya’s rebuttal, the dragon looked at him with slight irritation. However, it also realized that the breach in its world wasn’t entirely the young man’s fault.
“I admit it’s not entirely your fault, young man,” the dragon said, falling silent. It began to contemplate the possibility that if this young man could cause such a disturbance in its world, there must be something extraordinary within him.
“If our discussion is over, I’d like to take my leave. I need to rest as I have more training tomorrow,” Arya said.
“You may go,” the dragon replied, nodding before disappearing into the sword embedded firmly in a stone.
As the dragon vanished, the bright red light emanating from the sword also faded away.
Arya walked away from the site with a sense of relief. Yet, his mind swirled with questions about the massive dragon and the sword he had encountered.
Asking Sarwana might be an option, but didn’t Sarwana himself know little about the existence of a dragon’s world?
Silence. That was the decision Arya made. He would not tell anyone about the dragon he had just met. He feared people would think he was crazy if he revealed the secret. He decided to let the secret remain in his mind.
When he arrived back at his training spot, Arya lay down on the black stone. The persistent drowsiness quickly closed his eyelids, pulling him into slumber.
The night passed swiftly. The warm morning sunlight greeted the Earth, awakening Arya from his sleep.
The handsome young man stretched his arms and began some light exercises to loosen his muscles.
Not long after, Sarwana arrived, bringing fruits with him. Among them was Tundra moss, a rare delicacy from the ruler of the Panguripan Gorge.
“You should fill your stomach before resuming your training, Arya. I’ve brought some fruits for you,” Sarwana said, placing the fruits and moss on a stone.
“Alright,” Arya replied without stopping his movements.
“I’ll be off now, Arya. My scouts have reported an unusual number of people entering the forest. I fear they might venture into the Panguripan Gorge, so I need to keep watch,” Sarwana said.
Arya paused and looked at Sarwana. “It’s unusual for so many people to enter the forest. What are they looking for?”
“I don’t know yet. I’m still waiting for a report from my scouts about their intentions,” Sarwana replied before leaping away.
After eating, Arya began his training. Unbeknownst to him, a pair of sharp eyes observed him from a distance.

Rengga vs Suro Sentiko
“Damn it! His speed is far beyond my expectations!” Suro Sentiko muttered inwardly. He tilted his head slightly backward to dodge Rengga’s sudden strike that whizzed just past his face. The gust of wind generated from that single attack was so strong it whipped his hair wildly, stinging against his skin.“Cursed beast!” Suro Sentiko leapt back several steps, attempting to gather himself and prepare one of his signature techniques.But Rengga never gave him the chance. The thirty-year-old warrior pursued him relentlessly, his movements pressing forward without even the briefest pause. Punches and kicks rained down in a continuous barrage, leaving Suro Sentiko with no choice but to defend himself.The duel escalated with blinding ferocity. Blow after blow clashed, their strikes already exceeding hundreds of exchanges. Yet not a single decisive hit had landed on either side. The battlefield around them became chaos; soldiers nearby screamed in agony
Arya vs Ki Panji Anom
Arya was surprised when he realized that Ki Panji Anom was not provoked into following him.He had to rack his brain to make the leader of the Hell Bat Sect fight far from the capital city, because there was a high possibility that many soldiers would suffer the consequences of their duel.“Damn it!” Arya cursed inwardly. Like it or not, he had to return and fight in the middle of the ongoing battle.A strike of energy with even greater power was launched by Arya as he darted toward Ki Panji Anom. Yet once again, the leader of the Hell Bat Sect blocked it only with his bare hands.An explosion that claimed the lives of soldiers inevitably occurred. Ki Panji Anom’s block moved wildly, blasting apart everything it touched. Not only soldiers from both sides, but even the houses of civilians inside the capital city were destroyed.Arya snorted in disbelief. Frustration was inevitable. The man ranked fifth among the strongest warrior
The Main Battle
Among those who were astonished by Arya, only Ratnasari and Rengga remained calm. Both of them understood Arya very well and had not the slightest doubt about the youngest son of King Dharmalaksana. Especially Ratnasari, who had often witnessed her husband hunting wild chickens using nothing more than a small broken twig. A faint smile spread across the lips of the handsome young man. His eyes narrowed, locked onto Suro Sentiko, who was also staring at him. Suddenly, five arrows already strung on his bow shot out at a speed invisible to the soldiers’ eyes. Suro Sentiko, who had initially underestimated Arya’s archery skills, was stunned. The arrows streaked forward at a speed many times faster than normal arrows, and one of them was headed straight for him. Four soldiers were killed instantly. The arrows pierced through their chests, burst out their backs, and continued on, striking down other soldiers. In a single attack, more than eight soldiers had their lives sent to the God
The Skill of Archery
No wonder Ki Panji Anom was so furious. He had to expend a great deal of inner energy to create the Radar Shield. On top of that, King Dharmalaksana’s escape threatened the throne he had occupied for only a day.At present his forces numbered only about eleven thousand soldiers and the members of his sect no more than six hundred. The size of the enemy force remained uncertain, though he suspected it was clearly much larger than his own. Added to that were high-class warriors on the opposing side, which would only increase the likelihood that his throne could be retaken.Ki Panji Anom regretted the plan he had made. Had he not split his forces into four and launched a direct frontal attack on the Capital City, it was very likely that after taking the city he would have consolidated full power and would not have to fear a counterattack from the rightful heir.In royal politics it was commonly known that if a ruler held power without a royal lineage, his rule rarely lasted. For example,
The Wrath of Ki Panji Anom
The Wrath of Ki Panji AnomUpon entering the chamber, Suro Sentiko knelt before Ki Panji Anom.“How did it go, Suro?” asked Ki Panji Anom, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.“My apologies, My Lord... Dharmalaksana managed to escape from the palace. The soldiers who combed through every part of the palace also failed to find him,” replied Suro Sentiko. His gaze dropped to the floor, fearing his master’s anger.Ki Panji Anom let out a long sigh before opening his eyes. He glared sharply at Suro Sentiko, who was kneeling before him. “Who do you think is responsible?”“I suspect that young man, My Lord. But how could he have entered the palace without you knowing? Was the Radar Shield you used ineffective against him?”“Repeat your last words! You doubt my ability?” Ki Panji Anom’s voice grew sharper, making Suro Sentiko tremble in fear.“My apologies, My Lord... I never doubted your ability. But how could that young man enter the Radar Shield without you knowing?”Ki Panj
Escape from the Prison
Arya frowned. He clearly heard his father’s voice echoing into his ears. Without wanting to wait too long, Arya walked toward the source of the sound.“Father…” Arya saw the figure leaning against the wall, moving toward the iron bars.“I knew you would come, my son,” said King Dharmalaksana, a faint smile forming on his lips.“Are you all right, Father?” Arya asked curiously. The dim atmosphere made it hard for him to clearly see his father’s condition.“I am fine. They did not treat me harshly at all.”“Thank goodness,” Arya sighed in relief. “Come, Father… let’s leave this place!”“I cannot leave this palace, my son,” King Dharmalaksana replied softly. “Because long ago…”“I already know the reason from Brother Surya, Father,” Arya quickly cut in.“Surya has met you?” King Dharmalaksana’s mouth opened wide in surprise.“Yes. He is now waiting outside the capital with our troops. Now let’s go.”“But my oath…”“If you remain here, I will struggle to attack the capital. Moreover, your
