Aji Sangkala's spirit dripped Arya Santanu's blood onto his bones. Ki Janggan Nayantaka also scraped his hands and dripped his blood onto the bones. After both of them finished. Ki Janggan Nayantaka struck his staff. He prayed that Aji Sangkala's spirit would return to the world.
"I hope this method will work. I will also be part of the me that will rise later." Aji Sangkala's spirit prepared to sacrifice itself to pave the way for her original soul to return to the body that had become bones."Go, if we succeed, I will meet you again alive." Ki Janggan Nayantaka smiled.Aji Sangkala's spirit concentrated on changing his form into a ball of energy. Slowly his magical body turned into white smoke that coagulated and formed a ball.Elsewhere, Asura who was the former leader of the underworld felt the sky begin to change. Suddenly, black clouds quickly covered the sky. Not only that, lightning struck with a loud roar. The windAfter a long night of stormy weather, Arya Santanu's party finally arrived at the golden gates of the Swarnabhumi kingdom. The splendor of the main and largest kingdom in the land of Swarnadwipa was breathtaking. Thirty-meter-high giant walls with a thickness of eight meters layered with an iron frame and smeared with a layer of pure gold add to the impression of grandeur and elegance. Asura and Arya Santanu who saw it for the first time were astonished by the shape of the Swarnabhumi kingdom. "This kingdom is flanked by high rock cliffs. Is this the capital of the kingdom?" Arya Santanu asked."That's right. The Swarnabhumi Kingdom was deliberately established in the rock cliff area to create a natural fortress that could be utilized during an attack or war. There are several secret passages behind the rock cliffs, ranging from small alleys between the rocks, and underground passages dug towards the North and West. The concept of the shape and building
Adityawarman took them all to a golden palace on a cliff just above the capital Swarnabhumi. To get up there, ramps and hundreds of steps were made for pedestrian and chariot access. The golden palace was built using the same building techniques as building a great wall of gold. The layers of gold exposed to sunlight reflect a dazzling bias of light. It is obvious how grand and luxurious this palace is. The golden palace stands in the center, in front of which are gardens and roads surrounded by stone cliff fences. At the back there are access stairs and roads that lead to the settlement below the cliff. And there are several residences of royal officials scattered around the palace complex. "This is truly extraordinary. I am mesmerized by the beauty of this golden palace." Aji Sangkala smiled looking at the Swarnabhumi palace."No, it is only made of gold. My palace in hell is much bigger and grander." Asura teased. "No one
"That was a quote from your words when I was eight years old. We were standing on the front lawn of the palace looking at the settlement below the cliff. Your face was beaming in the twilight sunlight. What do you think, my father? Is that evidence enough to convince you that I am your son?" Arya Santanu looked into the eyes of King Swarnabhumi.King Swarnabhumi could say no more. The words he said to his eldest son at that time were his little memories that made him miss the figure of Satrio Wijayaningrat very much. Every time before going to bed his tears dripped just to remember that moment. That memory made him continue to remember the figure of his eldest son. "Those words are my words when my son and I were alone when we saw dusk coming. There was no one there. So, only I can say whether your words are true or not." King Swarnabhumi finally opened his mouth. "Then, are Arya Santanu's words true?" Adityawarman forced his father to ans
Having just opened his eyes for the first time, Arya Santanu was already transported to another place. In front of him was Aji Sangkala who stood staring at the front of the white room. Arya Santanu was confused, all he saw around him was an endless white room. He didn't even know if there was a wall dividing the room or not. "Aji Sangkala, where is this?" Arya Santanu asked. "Oh, you are in the transitional realm. This realm is between the world and the supernatural realm. Any warrior who has the knowledge to access the two worlds can definitely come to this realm. However, each warrior has different access to the transitional realm." Aji Sangkala tried to explain."Huh? I—I don't understand what you mean." Arya Santanu felt confused. "Simply put, every warrior who possesses the knowledge of internal energy has one transitional realm that can be entered to practice or meditate. A day in the training realm can be adjusted to
"Don't joke around! I don't have time to deal with this scarecrow!" Arya Santanu shouted in annoyance. The watermen charged towards Arya Santanu. They condensed water and turned it into swords. Arya Santanu, who had to concentrate with the energy in the soles of her feet, had to fight them all with her bare hands. "Damn, there are so many of them!" Arya Santanu parried some of their attacks. From behind, they attacked Arya Santanu like ants swarming around their prey. "Don't underestimate me!" Arya Santanu transformed the demonic hands on her arms with the natural energy flow that enveloped her arms. The young man swung his fist and managed to crush a few of them. But unfortunately, the watermen were able to regenerate and fight her again. "Hey, Aji Sangkala! These watermen can't be stopped!" Arya Santanu began to feel uncomfortable. "You have to defeat the water with other eleme
Lord Agni's holy fire was different from Aji Sangkala's holy fire. The immense power and energy that comes from Lord Agni who is the god of fire is stronger when burning demons. Although Asura has received gifts from Agni and Surya, he is not a god, Asura is still a demon who can die if burned or attacked by divine weapons. "When you were trapped in the black stone, then freed and met Arya Santanu, and went on a journey to kill your brothers with the help of Ki Janggan Nayantaka and Dewi Sari Kencana, do you think it was all a coincidence?" Lord Agni told Asura that Asura's destiny was not as free as he wanted it to be.AARRRHH!Asura burned and knelt down begging Lord Agni to put out the sacred fire. His skin that was so hard and impervious to fire began to burn. "Forgive me, forgive me, O Lord Agni!" Asura pleaded.Reluctantly, Lord Agni extinguished the sacred fire. He knew that it would do nothing to justify Asura's vengefully corrupted mind. God Agni stopped eating, he walked o
A report of a major riot had just reached the golden palace. The general and leader of the Bhayangkara troops; Widura Sri Mada reported to the king about the riots happening in the Ranau Baringin kingdom. Ki Janggan Nayantaka also listened to the details of the report. When he mentioned a warrior who wore all black clothes and wore a caping hat and had piercings on his face, he immediately knew that the warrior in question was a black demon warrior. "King, the warrior who disturbed the Ranau Baringin kingdom was one of the undead belonging to one of the Nuswapala demons. If that warrior is there, then the demon controlling him must also be nearby." Ki Janggan Nayantaka tried to explain. "Oh, I see. Then, prepare two Bhayangkara troops to check it out immediately. Destroy that soldier. And if the demon is really there, no mercy, kill him too." King Swarnabhumi gave his orders."Alright, I understand. I will send two men to hunt them down." Widura Sri Mada excused himself from the pr
Flames could be seen in the distance. Some people who had taken refuge on the shores of Lake Ranau turned their heads towards the kingdom and were startled by the enormous flames coming from the plaza. The White Lion, who had just arrived at the lakeside with the body of Ranau's king Baringin, was worried about his friend. He immediately wanted to go there, but he had to first ensure the safety of King Ranau Baringin. The White Lion immediately used his power to help heal King Ranau Baringin's wounds. The surrounding community approached the White Lion and King Ranau Baringin. They paid attention to their king. "Thank you very much. I am very happy that King Swarnabhumi brought you to help us." King Ranau Baringin patted the White Lion on the shoulder. "It is the responsibility of the Swarnabhumi king to protect all his supporting kingdoms. We, the Bhayangkaras, also remain loyal to all supporting kingdoms. My friend and I promise to kill
Raktabija's blood sword swing hit Asura's chest. But as the sword cleaved through the fire demon's chest, Asura's body melted into hot molten lava. "What?!""He tricked me?" Raktabija immediately looked around. The woman was looking for Asura's whereabouts. "Are you looking for me?" Asura was far behind Raktabija. His figure turned into a handsome man with short hair and crimson-colored eyeballs and wore a crimson-colored robe-like outfit, making him very charming. He looked so relaxed facing his brother."You don't intend to fight me at all?!" Raktabija pointed at Asura with his sword. "No, I don't intend to. In fact, I don't want to fight you at all, except Maghanada Indrajit. He should be taught a serious lesson about his foolishness in getting involved with the human world." Asura looked at Raktabija with narrowed eyes. "Why?! Do you pity us?!" Raktabija was getting annoyed with his brother's cold style. "Because you are my family." Asura's eyes lit up. It was as if a light
While Gajah Angin and Risang Kukang faced off against the Nuswapala warriors, Banyu Samudra accepted Raktabija's invitation. He gathered natural energy to strengthen himself. Banyu Samudra is a member of Bhayangkara who uses the water element. However, he could not turn water into ice like Dewi Sari Kencana did."Then come forward and fight me!" Raktabija said loudly. Banyu Samudra covered his hands with a water sheath. At his feet was a blanket of blue energy that allowed him to turn the air vapor around him into a thin layer of water that could be stepped on as he moved. "Water fist technique; Braja Banyu!"Banyu Samudra moved quickly by stepping on the layer of water that spread in the air. He swung his fist and perforated Raktabija's body with just one blow. The demon woman's blood splattered on the ground. But strangely, the demon laughed and didn't seem to feel any pain. "What happened? My blow was successful, but why is she so happy?" Banyu Samudra stepped back. "Poor thin
An annoyed Maghadasura immediately ordered a hundred golden swords to rain down on Widura Sri Mada. He also darted quickly following all his golden swords that attacked Widura simultaneously."Do you think all those swords can kill me?"All the golden swords stopped. When Maghadasura was about to swing his sword, Widura blocked the movement of the sword with his hand that had not even touched the sword. "What?!""He can stop my golden sword attack?!" Maghadasura felt something was strange. Widura immediately ordered the golden swords to turn around and hunt Maghadasura. All the swords rushed and rained down on the demon's body. Fortunately, Maghadasura was able to dodge all the attacks. He didn't expect his attacks to be reversed so quickly."How did you do all that?" Maghadasura felt there was something strange about Widura."You think I'm a sandbender?" Widura spoke."If you don't master the element of sand, then what do you master?" Maghadasura felt Widura was hiding something."
All the archers atop the golden wall of the Swarnabhumi capital were preparing to draw their bows. Waiting for a direct order from the White Lion, the person in charge of the eastern wall of the Swarnabhumi royal capital. They continued to hold their bowstrings and looked down at where the troops from Nuswapala were approaching the golden wall."Hold your arrows! Let them come closer!" The White Lion shouted loudly. When the combined forces of the Nuswapala, Kalamanthana and Dewatapura alliances had entered the firing range of all the warriors' crossbows atop the golden wall, the White Lion immediately raised his hand. The signal to prepare to fire was given.When the Nuswapala warriors had reached a distance of five hundred meters, arrows shot straight into the sky. There were over five hundred arrows that shot quickly upwards and swooped downwards. One by one, the Nuswapala troops were pierced by the arrows. They fell on the spot and died instantly. "Stand back!" The White Lion ga
Arya Santanu found peace in his mind. He drifted into his ascetic position. Unbeknownst to Aji Sangkala, Arya Santanu drifted into another realm whose dimensions were far away in the realm of the gods. There was only empty space and pitch darkness. He could still see himself, but there was nothing around him but darkness. "Where am I really? Is this the realm of the Gods?" Arya Santanu was confused. He looked in all directions.There was nothing and no one in that realm. Everything seemed empty and Arya Santanu had no idea why he was there. "You came with your own power. This is amazing." Suddenly a hoarse voice like an old man greeted him. But no form was visible. Arya Santanu turned his head towards the source of the voice, but he could not find the person who spoke. Until when he turned to his original position, a hand tapped his shoulder from behind. The young man was immediately surprised and immediately looked back. "You...?" Arya Santanu was surprised by Ki Janggan Nayanta
Widura Sri Mada gathered all the kings of the supporting kingdoms along with the soldiers in Swarnadwipa and Yawadwipa who chose to help the Swarnabhumi kingdom. The demon elders from Yawadwipa also came to Swarnadwipa to help their demon army. Joko Bedul will also join the war with all the demon citizens who survived the destruction of the demon village. He asked for help from the demon kingdom in the western sea of Swarnadwipa. Joko Bedul also asked the queen of the South Sea in Yawadwipa to help Swarnabhumi win the war. They were all in the vicinity of the golden capital and were making preparations. "Are all the Bhayangkara members present?" Widura Sri Mada raised his voice in the big meeting. "We are all here." Banyu Samudera answered his leader's words. He sat next to the other Bhayangkara members. "From the demon alliance, are all present?" Widura asked again. "We are present. I, Joko Bedul, will represent the great demon army
As Asura smiled, Mahishashura felt something was wrong with his attack. Unexpectedly, Asura's body expanded and exploded to create a shockwave that blew away air, water, and millions of Mahishashura's swords. BOOM!BRARR!Mahishashura was unable to avoid the massive explosion that caused huge waves on the water surface. The explosion destroyed even the ten fleets of ships he commanded. From the direction of the Swarnabhumi kingdom, some people like the Swarnabhumi king and Widura felt the local earthquake tremors caused by the huge explosion. "Playing you was very easy. I'm so happy to be able to play again with my sister." Asura returned himself to his original form by condensing the exploding heat energy into his form again. But Mahishashura felt no pleasure from Asura's play. His body was crushed on the left side. His face to his chest and left hand were crushed. He tried to survive by treading water. Mahishashura was shoc
Asura intercepted a group of warships from the Sundapura port area. He knew that his brother, the dumb buffalo or bull was on board. Asura had to consciously stop the war to give the refugees time to make their way to the northern fortress. "Asura, have you come to kill us all? The war hasn't started yet, and you've already rushed here to preempt the sanctity of war?" Mahishashura spoke as if he knew the rules of war. "Don't advise me on the rules of war. You and your foolish brothers have broken the rules you mentioned. Narakashura attacked the southern region of Swarnadwipa and destroyed a supporting kingdom in Ranau Baringin. You still want to say the sanctity of war? Which one is holy? You are a demon!" Asura pointed sharply at his foolish brother.Mahishashura did not know that Narakashura was invading the southern region of Swarnadwipa. If what Asura said was true, then Indrajit Maghanada would have used all means to win this war. But right now, Ma
King Swarnabhumi ordered the people inside the golden capital to flee immediately to the north. They were told to head to the silver fortress in the far north. "Widura Sri Mada, use the western route to evacuate them all. Then immediately give orders to the other supporting kingdoms to evacuate their entire population. In accordance with my son's will, we must turn the golden capital into the most solid fortress." King Swarnabhumi smiled, he did not expect that Arya Santanu was still thinking about his kingdom. "Very well, Your Majesty. Currently, Prince Adityawarman and Dewi Sari Kencana are helping the people to mobilize. All of Bhayangkara's troops are as well. Through a secret passage, they have passed through a narrow ravine and are heading towards the western route you are referring to." Widura Sri Mada finished his report. Ki Janggan Nayantaka who sat beside the king of Swarnabhumi felt overwhelmed. The absence of Arya Santanu and
