The Fire Dragon Sword
The Demon Valley Started to Move
"Chairman, Mr. Bongkel of the black devil asks to face". Sakuta lowered his head before the Waranggana chief of the Valley Skull Sect.
"Bongkels? not usually Kertasura sent his best swordsman to deliver the message, Are they starting to realize it" Waranggana smiled slightly.
"Let him in".
"Good chairman". Sakuta stepped out of the room.
"You think the Valley of skulls will always be under your shadow? You're too cocky Kertaura". Waranggana muttered in his heart.
Before long Bongkel stepped in and saluted Waranggana.
"Welcome sir" Waranggana bowed his head saluting Bongkel and told him to sit down.
"Did anything happen until the elder sent you straight here". Waranggana said slowly. His face was flat as if disturbed by the arrival of Bongkel.
"Ah chief leave greetings to you". Bongkel realized the reception he received was less friendly so he tried to melt the atmosphere. But it seems that Waranggana is no longer interested in talking to him so Bongkel decided to directly deliver a message from Kertasura.
"The chief wanted to know the reason for the absence of the Valley of the skull in the multiple meetings of the alliance master".
"Do I have to give an excuse for the Skull Valley's policy to the black Devil?" The waranggana laughed mockingly.
"You mean?" Bongkel was slightly offended by Waranggana's attitude but he tried to hold it back.
"You forgot that the Black Devil and the Valley of the Skull are two different sects, and we are not under the rule of the Black Devil. There's no reason for me to give a reason for what I've decided". The face of the Waranggana turned serious.
"Sorry elder you seem to have misunderstood me, I don't question anything about the matter in the Valley of the Skulls but we are bound to the alliance we formed and it happens that our Chairman becomes the leader of the alliance".
"Alliance huh?" Waranggana chuckled before continuing her words. "The alliance only benefits the black Devils, you think I'm foolish not to know how much profit you've made from Majasari?".
"Elder, it looks like your word has insulted the black devil". This time Bongkel could not hold back any longer.
"Then what do you want if I insult the black devil?". A pitch-black aura suddenly enveloped Waranggana's body and pressed down on Bongkel.
"This aura? where did he master such a great science?". Cold sweat came out of his body.
Shortly thereafter Waranggana smiled cynically looking at Bongkel.
"Go and tell Kertaura if the Valley of the Skulls decides to withdraw from the alliance".
"You're both right.....". Not yet Dongkel finished his words until Waranggana was in front of him and grabbed his neck.
"His speed?" Bongkel's face changed instantly seeing the strange science that Waranggana used.
"I can kill you right now easily but I still look at Kertasura. Go!" Waranggala threw Dongkel's body out the door.
"Send him to go". Waranggana's voice raised and ordered his men to bring Dongke out.
"I'm not fucking rude of you, I'll reward you!". Ki Dongkel got up and walked away leaving the Valley Sect of the Skull.
"You are indeed a ruthless Waranggana" Maruta appeared from behind the door with a terrible smile.
"I'm sick of being in the shadow of Kertaura". Waranggana saluted Maruta.
"How is the greatness of Ajian Segoro the tiger belonging to the Demon Valley?".
"It's amazing sir, even Dongkel isn't struggling in front of me". The lady smiled with satisfaction.
"If you join the Demon Valley, I'll give you some canonical books from the Land of the gods that are no less powerful than the Segoro tiger".
"Anything I would do to become a great swordsman and defeat Kertasura". Waranggana looked down in front of Maruta.
"Have you ever heard of the Book of the Seal of Life?".
Waranggana mengeleng "I'm not sure sir but I've heard there is a science that can make our bodies immortal".
"Water of life?, does water really exist?". Waranggana scrunched his forehead.
"There are times when you don't ask something you shouldn't know for your own good". Maruta's face turned hideous.
"Ma.pardon me sir". Waranggana bowed his head.
"The Book of the Seal of life used to be owned by the Suket Ireng Sect from Lalakon mountain but since the sect was destroyed several hundred years ago the book was lost somewhere. The news I heard in a forest at the end of the archipelago was that a middle-aged man mastered a style that was almost similar to the Seal of life.
I need you to send some high-ranking warriors there to find out the truth of this news and bring that grandfather before me. The chairman will give you a huge reward if you can find him".
Waranggana was silent for a moment, he had indeed heard there was a forest that was as terrifying as the forest of death at the end of the archipelago.
"Well master I will send some skull Valley warriors to go to that forest".
Maruta nodded slowly then he chanted a move. He raised his hand up and a moment later a white mist enveloped his hand.
Suddenly a red light shot towards his hand making Waranggana surprised. After the white fog disappeared, a solid black keris was in Maruta's hands.
Maruta then gave the keris to Waranggana.
"This red stealth cherry will increase the strength of your tiger. Use it only when you're pressed because the power of this kris will eat your soul if it's used more and more".
Waranggana's face sparkled receiving a red Demon's heirloom keris. He had often heard the news that the power of this dagger was only one level below the Fire Dragon Sword, Wind Vortex Sword and Sky Sword, the three best heirloom swords in the archipelago.
"I won't disappoint the Demon Valley". Waranggana bowed in salute to Maruta.

"Hamba to the prince" Restu knelt before Sabrang who was talking to Wardhana.
"What's uncle?" Sabrang looked at Restu.
"Hamba wants to report something to the Prince, what Mr. Wardhana said is true. I just got word that four black Devil warriors were seen leaving the Duchy of Majasari".
Wardhana looks smiling got a report from Restu.
"I don't think you really kept your promise Lingga, if you hadn't taken the wrong path maybe we could have been good friends".
"When are we going to move, sir?".
Wardhana turned towards Sabrang who was then answered by Sabrang.
"Tomorrow before sunrise we move. I will enter the Duchy of Sukasari with the prince to save lord Kertapati and your duty as I said yesterday opens the way of escape.
Remember if you meet a black Devil swordsman and you feel unable to deal with it you better avoid it. I don't want any casualties on the mission this time".
"Good sir". Restu bowed his head.

"Try saying it again?" Kertasura kicked down the table in front of him. His face hardened with anger.
"Sorry chairman.....". Bongkel looked down not daring to look at Kertasura.
"I had expected that the old man would betray me one day but joining the Demon Valley was a stupid choice!".
"You mean?" The phallus scrunched his forehead.
"I have long suspected him of being in contact with some mysterious swordsman and with the strange style he used when attacking Bongkel, I'm sure the Demon Valley is behind all this".
"Are we going to act?" Lingga asked Kertasura again.
"It would be very dangerous if we were to attack them right now, the Demon Valley would not remain silent as its slaves were attacked. Send an emissary to the Majasari palace and tell him about the treachery the Valley of the Skulls committed. I'll clear the Valley of the skulls of our alliance". Kertasura clenched his hands holding back the anger.
