The Fire Dragon Sword
A Punishment
Minak Jinggo and Wicaksana looked confused as Sabrang brought two water reservoirs and placed them before them. He then hollowed out each of the water reservoirs the size of a sword hilt before sitting in front of them.
A confident smile seemed to expand on Minak Jinggo's lips when he saw Sabrang punching holes in the two water reservoirs, he already understood what punishment would be given to him and Wicaksana.
It is not without reason that Minak Jinggo is very confident this time because such punishment has often given Ageng to him and with his ability, it only took him a few hours to make the reservoir fully filled.
"What you did yesterday really made you angry, if I was late, maybe someone would have been killed," Sabrang said coldly while staring at the two.
The Wicaksana immediately lowered his head and did not dare to return Sabrang's gaze, he was not crazy enough to refute the person who respected Wardhana the most who was the head of the blue Wind sect.
But unlike the Wicaksana, Minak Jinggo seemed not too concerned with what Sabrang said, he still considered all unfair to him.
"Wouldn't warriors always be close to death? if they are afraid of death, they should not choose the path of becoming a swordsman" Minak Jinggo replied mockingly.
"It seems like you're so confident in your talents and abilities that you dare to demean others, do you feel strong now?" asked Sabrang sharply.
"Is it a mistake to be proud and confident of this talent?" minak Jinggo replied confidently.
"There's nothing wrong with all of that but the way you use great talent to have fun and demean others is wrong. Do you think you're the only one with great talent? I can even kill you with just one strike" Sabrang said softly.
"All warriors would be great and invincible if they had the power of the Fire Dragon sword, including me," Minak Jinggo replied mockingly.
Tantri who accompanied Sabrang immediately ignited his emotions when he heard Minak Jinggo's ridicule,
"You said it's been too much for Jinggo, do you know who's talking to you?" snapped Tantri annoyed.
"A warrior who was lucky to have obtained the power of the Fire Dragon, am I wrong?"
"You..." Tantri almost pulled out her sword if Sabrang didn't give her a sign of silence.
"So you think you can defeat me if you use the Fire Dragon sword?" Sabrang suddenly pulled out the Fire Dragon sword and stuck it on the ground.
All gasped in shock when Sabrang stuck the sword on the ground, they really did not understand his way of thinking.
"Your highness." said Tantri worriedly.
"What if we fight before I punish you? you use the Fire Dragon sword and I will use this twig. If you can defeat me, apart from being free from punishment, the sword will be yours" Sabrang sneered as he grabbed a tree branch nearby.
"Are you kidding me? you can cry blood if you lose the strongest heirloom," Minak Jinggo replied quickly.
"The Fire Dragon Sword is nothing more than a tool to channel my power, then what should I worry about? the fire Dragon energy might be the strongest in the martial world but without my body, that sword would only be scrap metal," Sabrang replied.
"Can I burn it? it seems like his brain was a little disturbed after fighting with Mandala," the Fire Dragon said irritatedly.
"You have to be patient stupidly, he is explaining that a swordsman should not rely only on an heirloom" Anom replied with a chuckle.
"But what should I call scrap metal?" the Fire Dragon replied annoyed.
Minak Jinggo looked at Sabrang for quite a while before nodding in agreement, no one would waste the chance to get the most desirable heirloom of all warriors in the martial world.
Although Minak Jinggo realized Sabrang was much stronger than him at the moment but with the Fire Dragon sword and the immortal fire style he was quite confident of being able to compensate.
"Never regret your decision today!" Minak Jinggo got up and grabbed the sword.
"Am I dreaming?...The Fire Dragon Sword is in my grasp?" Minak Jinggo stared at the sword in disbelief, the twin dragon ornaments on the sword hilt that seemed ready to spout fire made the impression of the heirloom even more frightening.
"Retreat!" sabrang said to Tantri and Wicaksana.
The two of them just nodded slowly while jumping back, they realized that in a moment a fierce fight was about to happen.
"I don't know what you're up to, but you made a terrible mistake by handing this sword over to me" Minak Jinggo said before attacking.
"Look at master, I will defeat this beloved disciple of yours," Minak Jinggo was seen to be wielding a fifth level immortal Fire style before his arms came crashing hot as the Fire Dragon sword emitted a red flame.
"What's going on?" minak Jinggo said before throwing the sword on the ground.
"Rajawali Dance," Sabrang twisted his body and slapped the tree branch to several parts of Minak Jinggo's body which made him flung a few steps.
Minak Jinggo did not try not to dodge but the sword movement shown Sabrang really made him desperate.
The thing that makes Minak Jinggo even more surprised is that every attack of Sabrang does not contain power in large but very deadly.
"What have you commanded the sword?" minak Jinggo shouted in annoyance as he looked at his palms that were reddened by the burning.
"What am I doing? don't tell me you don't know that the Fire Dragon sword is the only heirloom that chooses its own master and if you burn while using it it it means he didn't choose you," replied Sabrang while taking the Fire Dragon sword and throwing it back towards Minak Jinggo.
Minak Jinggo looked at Sabrang and the Fire dragon sword in turn, he looked hesitant to grasp the sword again.
"So the news of the Fire Dragon's heirloom choosing its own master is right? the sword did not even want to be touched other than its master," Minak Jinggo said inwardly.
"Are you scared? where did that talent you were proud of go? take the sword or you'll be killed" Sabrang sneered before returning to attack.
Minak Jinggo again snatched the Fire Dragon sword, he was still confident of being able to subdue the Fire Dragon with his abilities.
Minak Jinggo concentrated his profound strength in his right hand to suppress the flames coming out of his sword but no matter how hard he tried to suppress the flames it just overflowed.
"Take your filthy hands off me!" a voice shocked Minak Jinggo before the flames grew bigger and burned him.
Minak Jinggo was forced to re-release the fire Dragon sword while trying to dodge Sabrang's directed attack on him.
Sabrang seemed to smile a little before changing his sword movements, he was seen dancing as if he had eyes all over his body while dodging all the attacks of the tribe stretching tread perfectly.
"Great talent and a special body can never make you strong if your goal is just to have fun and demean others," Sabrang twisted his twigs and increased his speed when he saw the gap in Minak Jinggo's defense.
"Dance of the Demon Sword," the twig in Sabrang's hand hit Minak Jinggo's body hard enough to make him flung a few steps.
"How is it possible. he doesn't even use deep energy at all," said Minak Jinggo annoyed as his body hit a big new one.
Sabrang walked up to Minak Jinggo after picking up the fire dragon sword. The flames seemed to grow back before entering Sabrang's body.
"The Fire Dragon is the strongest heirloom that does not choose its master only from the talent it possesses because he believes the greatest strength of a human being is not only a matter of talent but the determination to continue being the strongest for the sake of protecting others. As long as you still consider kanuragan science only for pleasure and without a clear purpose then forever you will be a weak swordsman!" sabrang said slowly.
"Looks like his head wasn't disturbed, did you hear what he said? I am the strongest heirloom," said the arrogant Fire Dragon.
"And now fill your disturbed head of the Fire Dragon, you are so easily changed with just a little praise" Anom sneered.
Minak Jinggo fell silent while holding back his anger, he felt really humiliated in front of Wicaksana and Tantri, but without him realizing it after the fight, the admiration for Sabrang began to grow.
"Is there anything you still want to say?" asked Sabrang sharply.
"Hamba is ready to accept punishment, Your Majesty," said the Wicaksana quickly.
"You?" Sabrang turned his head towards Minak Jinggo who quickly threw away his annoyed face.
"Well, I assume there is no one else to oppose, now I will say your punishment," Sabrang said as he walked closer to the two water reservoirs he had just punched.
"You see that waterfall? I want this water container to be fully filled at the same time. Remember at the same time, if one of them fills up first then you'll have to repeat and I'll hole another part of this water container again," said Sabrang before sitting near the water reservoir.
"So together? are you kidding me? with holes of different sizes, how could this container of water be fully filled at the same time?" Minak Jinggo immediately protested with the rules made by Sabrang.
He could have filled the water container with ease within a few hours but it would have been impossible if it had to be together with Wicaksana's.
"I don't care how you're going to do it, it's a punishment for the mess you made yesterday and if it doesn't work tomorrow, I'll add another hole" Sabrang replied lightly.
"You deliberately gave a punishment that we would not be able to do!" minak Jinggo shouted annoyedly.
"Are you giving up? where's the talent you were proud of?" ejek Sabrang is back.
"What His Majesty said is right, rather than just talking, would it not be better for you to cooperate in order to avoid a more severe punishment?" sahut Tantri fast.
"You will receive the reply" said Minak Jinggo before darting away towards the waterfall and chasing Wicaksana who first ran.
"Are they going to succeed, Your Majesty? they will never cooperate because from the beginning they always fight," asked Tantri slowly.
"It's not the result I want but something inside them will make Hibata strong" Sabrang replied softly.
"If the servants do not want to admit it but with the talent they have, one day they will become strong warriors, Your Majesty," replied Tantri politely.
"They? do you know who was the first swordsman I asked to enter Hibata? you're the one," replied Sabrang.
"Hamba? but Your honor..." Tantri looked surprised after hearing Sabrang's words.
"I've always been amazed at the Red Lotus group, the talent you have is very unique even though other than Grandma Wulan Sari no one has managed to maximize that talent and among all the disciples of grandma, she said, you're the most prominent. Together with Gendis, you will become a new power in the martial world" Sabrang said.
"But Your Majesty. servant..."
"Just relax, I've asked mom to teach you, you'll be a strong swordsman one day" Sabrang said quickly.
"Mother queen?" tantri's face became increasingly pale, never imagined in his mind will be taught directly by a female swordsman who may currently be the strongest.
"Do you mind?" asked Sabrang confused.
"Excuse me Your Majesty, it is not like that, but I am afraid because the relationship between the Queen Mother and the teacher is not good enough..."
"You take it easy, witch is my business."
"This sound?" Tantri looked back and found Sekar Pitaloka with Mentari already nearby.
"Mother queen? mistress concubine?" Tantri immediately knelt before Sekar Pitaloka and Mentari.
"You will be much stronger than the witch under the guidance of me and Tari" said Sekar Pitaloka.
"You've arrived?" greet Sabrang before getting up from his seat.
Sekar Pitaloka nodded slowly, while Mentari seemed to bow her head in salute.
"Are they the new Hibata members?" asked Sekar when he saw Minak Jinggo and Wicaksana fighting in the distance.
Sabrang chuckled as he looked at his mother's confused face.
"They will be strong warriors one day ma'am, I'm sure of it," Sabrang replied before holding onto Mentari's arm.
"Mother, there's something I want to talk to Tari about, please watch over them for a moment," Sabrang hugged Mentari's body before taking her away.
"Your majesty," Mentari's face flushed instantly, she really did not expect Sabrang to grab her body and dart away.
