Arya frowned. "So, you know about Sarwana, the Monkey King who rules this ravine? Is that the energy you're talking about?" "I don't really know him, but I did see him earlier when I brought you food. He possesses quite a bit of power, in my opinion. But if we measure it by human standards, that monkey's power is already quite high," Hydra replied, then took another step forward. Arya was still very curious about Hydra’s answer, which didn’t address any of his questions. "Whose energy is in the forest? Why aren’t you answering me?" "If you want to know the answer, you must first unite your soul with the Sword of the Fire Dragon. If not, then one of them will possess it. Now, get on my back!" Although still curious about the unanswered questions, Arya finally jumped onto Hydra's back. He trusted that the great Dragon wouldn’t lie to him. Once Arya was on its back, Hydra flapped both wings, and its massive body began to rise. The gusts of wind from the flapping wings sent dust swirling into the air. The first experience of being over 10 meters above the ground made Arya a little nervous. But with the belief that his body would be fine even if he fell from that height, he grew even more excited. "Show me your speed, Hydra!" he shouted. "Hold on tight!" Hydra called back. A distance of 250 meters wasn't far, and in less than two seconds, Hydra landed right next to the Sword of the Fire Dragon still embedded in the stone. Arya’s hair was tousled by the intense wind. His soul seemed to leave his body when Hydra demonstrated its flying abilities. The handsome young man jumped down from Hydra's back, a height of about 5 meters, the dragon’s body stretching 18 meters from head to tail. His knees trembled as though they might give way. "What’s wrong?" Hydra looked curious. "Why didn’t you tell me it would be that fast?" Arya's voice trembled. "Didn’t you ask me to show my flying abilities?" Hydra chuckled at Arya's reaction. Arya didn’t answer. He was still trying to steady his rapidly beating heart, which felt like a drum being pounded relentlessly. "Once you’ve calmed down, quickly drip your blood on the hilt of the Sword of the Sky Dragon!" Hydra’s voice suddenly changed, and Arya quickly shifted his gaze. He no longer saw the large dragon he had ridden but a young man of his own age. "Who are you?" Arya asked, surprised, taking two steps back. "It’s me, idiot! Do you think I can't change my form into a human?" Hydra, now in human form, looked frustrated. "Why didn’t you say so, you damn dragon! You almost made my heart stop!" Arya was just as frustrated. "Enough, don’t talk about it. Quickly drip your blood on the hilt of the Sword of the Sky Dragon!" Hydra commanded. Arya nodded and walked toward the Sword of the Sky Dragon. He looked down and picked up a small stone, sharp enough to prick the tip of his finger. In one quick cut, blood seeped out of the tip of Arya's slightly opened finger. He then dripped his blood onto the hilt of the Sword of the Fire Dragon, as instructed by Hydra. For several seconds, there was no change or movement from the ancient sword. This puzzled Hydra. "This is strange," he muttered softly. Arya stayed silent, as he didn’t know what process would follow after his blood was dripped onto the sword. "Wait here! I’ll go inside," Hydra said before darting into the blade of the Sword of the Sky Dragon. It wasn’t long before Hydra reappeared. His expression was weary and lackluster. "What happened? What’s inside?" Arya asked, puzzled. "The Sword of the Fire Dragon rejected your blood, Arya," Hydra answered softly. "Well, that’s a relief," Arya replied nonchalantly. Hydra stared at Arya sharply. "What do you mean by that?" "Well… if I had that sword, I'd surely be hunted by warriors who wanted to possess it. Not to mention the heavy responsibility I’d have to bear," Arya explained. "So, you want the sword to fall into the wrong hands?" Hydra asked, frustration creeping into his thoughts. "That’s not it! It just means there could be others who are worthy of possessing it," Arya retorted. Hydra shook his head slowly. "You don’t know what will happen if this sword falls into the hands of someone with a corrupt soul, Arya." "Can’t the sword just reject them like it did my blood?" "Because your body contains two opposing souls. Good and evil. If the evil one is dominant, then it will be all evil; if good, all good. But the problem is, everyone coming into that forest right now has a corrupted soul. They are all aiming to possess the sword to dominate the martial world," Hydra explained. Arya stroked his head thoughtfully, pondering why Hydra’s words sounded so similar to what Sarwana had said about good and evil. "And finding someone who isn’t ambitious to possess the sword, like you, I think will be very difficult, maybe even impossible. Especially someone with your level of power," Hydra continued. "Alright, then what should we do? Hasn’t it already rejected me?" "Wait a moment!" Hydra darted into the sword again, and this time, he stayed inside for quite a while. Meanwhile, in the forest, the warriors who had heard Sarwana’s threat to destroy anyone who dared to venture deeper into the forest grew uneasy and eventually joined forces. If that giant monkey was still alive, their ambition to possess the Sword of the Fire Dragon and dominate the martial world would be severely hindered. The only way was to eliminate the monkey first. As for the other warriors, they thought they would fight and kill each other if they managed to kill the monkey, who they assumed was the forest’s guardian. What they didn’t know was that the forest contained rare resources sought by every martial artist wishing to enhance their skills — the Tundra Moss. If they knew this, the Panguripan Ravine would surely be far from peaceful. In addition to Kelana Jati and Darmawisesa, five other warriors with similar abilities to theirs were also present. If they attacked one by one, they would certainly be easily defeated. Instead of fearing the seven warriors who had surrounded him, Sarwana just smiled widely. There was no fear in the mind of the ruler of the Panguripan Ravine.

The Traitor of the White Path
The Traitor of the White Path Suro Sentiko coughed lightly before spitting blood from his mouth. The old man then rose to his feet, channeling his inner energy to ease the pain wracking his body. Fury was etched across his face. Moments later, he drew his ancestral sword from its sheath. As soon as the crimson-bladed sword was unsheathed, a massive surge of energy erupted. Waves of scorching heat spread out, withering and dropping the leaves around him. “You will regret this, for the Hellfire Core Sword has been unleashed!” Suro Sentiko roared angrily. It was extremely rare for him to wield his sacred sword in battle. Warriors usually thought twice before facing him—not because of his personal power alone, but because of the elite division he commanded. From several meters away, Rengga narrowed his eyes at the crimson aura radiating from the Hellfire Core Sword in his enemy’s hand. A faint smile cu
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
