The Fire Dragon Sword
Tekad Prince Sabrang
Sabrang still did not believe what he heard, how could ki Gandana ask him to destroy all his knowledge.
"Do you mean my grandfather had to destroy the knowledge I learned with great difficulty?".
Ki Gandana nodded softly "You know what eternal Fire science Suliva learned is only a small part of the core of eternal fire science. Your body won't be able to become the "container" of that terrible science. I'll reimburse you for the science you've learned by teaching all the knowledge I have as long as you want to throw that knowledge away".
Sabrang went awry hearing Ki Gandana's request. If Sabrang refuses, Ki Gandana will destroy his knowledge by force. He had felt helpless against Ki Gandana despite using the Fire Dragon Sword in addition to the condition of his body being injured.
But he would never want to exterminate the eternal Fire Science because Suliwa and ki Ageng hung hope on his shoulders.
Moreover he still needed the Fire Dragon to reclaim his Father's Throne from Majasari's hands.
"Sorry kek I can't seem to grant your request" Sabrang shook his head softly.
"What are you thinking!!! Even hundreds of people begged me to be my disciple but I didn't accept the disciple and now you're rejecting the kindness of my heart?" Ki Gandana's voice was rising.
"I don't mean rejecting grandfather's kindness but I won't let my teacher down".
"Even if you have to die?" Aura ki Gandana suddenly pressed Sabrang.
"My life is not determined by grandfather or anyone else, if I have to die here I still will not destroy the pride of the Fire Dragon Sword Sect".
"Your sectarian pride? It was just a stolen science belonging to the Land of the Gods" Ki Gandana smiled sinisterly.
"Whatever Grandfather said about the Fire Dragon Sword Sect will not make me change my mind. Eternal Science is a science that my teacher taught me in the hope that I would be useful to others. I will never disappoint the teacher" Sabrang said slightly up, leaving Ki Gandana shocked.
Ki Gandana was silent for a moment before smiling again.
"You have so much respect for your teacher, I'm quite touched. But if that sword rules you, will you still respect your teacher? Even I'll make sure you kill the people closest to you".
"I will not be controlled by a sword".
Ki Gandana laughed mockingly "You are even so dependent on the power of the Fire Dragon that you can speak as if you can master the Fire Dragon".
"Maybe at this time I haven't been able to match the Fire Dragon yet but I won't give up. I'll make sure the Fire Dragon bows to me"
"Didn't Grandpa just say that my talent is huge? I will get stronger and stronger, if the time comes for the Dark Seal to disappear from the Fire Dragon Sword I will control it".
Ki Gandana was a little surprised to hear Sabrang say with no hesitation in his eyes.
"This child is very interesting, now I know a little of the reason that made Suliva give the sword to him" Ki Gandana said in his heart.
"Why are you so stubborn, son, what exactly is your goal in learning canoeing?".
"I just want to protect people who mean something to me and....." Sabrang paused for a moment he hesitated a little to continue.
"Hahahahaha you're so stupid boy, do as you please but when you start getting possessed by the fire dragon I'll make sure by then I'll kill you". Ki Gandana got up and stepped away leaving Sabrang alone.

(Sacred Site Sect)
"You're all you have left, beg me maybe I'll forgive you". A man walked leisurely on a pile of dozens of corpses. He was seen licking his bloodied sword.
In front of him an expert level Swordsman knelt with wounds all over his body. His breathing began to irregularly indicate his stamina had been exhausted.
He stared fearfully at the man who walked up to him like he was looking at a demon.
"This is the power of someone who is called the Life-Attracting Devil? He even destroyed my sect alone" The swordsman's body trembled violently.
He smiled as he enjoyed every murder he made. But the smile did not last long as someone approached him.
"You always act as you please Asoka".
"No need to interfere in my affairs or you will lose your head as well as the Jungle" Asoka said without looking back at Rimba.
"Don't be arrogant, I know who you used to be before pouring Lingga picking you up on the street. You think I'm afraid of the Devil's nickname of the life you're holding? If it wasn't for Mr. Lingga's orders I'd have killed you long ago".
A black aura enveloped Rimba's body and suppressed Asoka. Getting such a threat made Asoka slightly shudder, she turned her head towards Rimba.
"What do you need to do to see me?".
Seeing Asoka soften a little made Rimba retract the aura he released.
"Lord Lingga ordered you to bring the head of a young man wielding the Fire Dragon Sword, and this time lord Lingga did not want to hear the word fail. You have to make sure you kill the kid".
"Fire Dragon Sword User? It would be interesting if I managed to snatch that sword and if that time came I would come to kill you".
Rimba smiled cynically "You're always obsessed with killing me but you never do, you're too big of a mouth".
Asoka's face turned red restraining her anger. He was really insulted by the words of the Jungle but he decided to dampen his emotions. He is aware that his knowledge is currently under the Jungle.
"Tell me where I can find the boy".
"The border area with Saung galah is not far from the Duchy of Wanajaya. But Mr. Lingga advised that you move quietly so as not to cause conflict with Saung Galah".
"Tell lord Lingga I'll take the child's head as a gift from me".
Asoka walked away from Rimba who was staring in horror at the surrounding situation.
"His wisdom is increasing rapidly, I must be careful with the child" Rama said in his heart.

"Grandfather, young master the food is ready" Mentari appeared from the kitchen. Hearing the sound of the Mentari makes Ki Gandana sumringah, he always looks forward to eating Mentari cuisine.
"A moment like this that I always look forward to miss" Ki Gandana laughed loudly and then stepped closer to the food provided by Mentari.
Mentari chased after Ki Gandana without caring about Sabrang who was still meditating.
"I'll cook Grandpa's favorite meal every day as long as Grandpa wants to make the young master a student".
Ki Gandana turned to Mentari "You are a very cunning girl, you dare to negotiate with me".
Mentari chuckled at Ki Gandana's threat "Kek please help young master, I promise to cook more of grandfather's favorite dishes" Mentari continued to sulk at Ki Gandana.
"You like it?" Ki Gandana's question made the face of Mentari suddenly turn red.
"Grandfather what the hell is that talking? I only owe her a favor because the young master had saved me from the grunts of the group of red scorpions".
Ki Gandana laughed at Mentari's embarrassed manner of confessing his feelings.
"Take your girlfriend to eat, I'll think about your offer once my stomach is full".
Mentari's face turned cheerful then ran towards Sabrang to invite him to eat together.
