Api di Bukit Menoreh Book 01 -Chapter 16
The tall stout man entrusted himself to the strength of his hand. His dagger blades attacked from all directions. Even occasionally he managed to land hits on the iron rod in Untara’s hand. But Untara himself wasn’t a child who just started practising fencing. During every clash with his weapon, he forced his opponent to think twice.
Even then the tall stout man did not dare try to ram his rather short weapon against Untara’s rod (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)). While the young man was very agile and dexterous. Every once in a while he jumped away when things got tough, he quickly pulled himself away. But if he fought alone, then he will die too quickly.
Thus Untara worked furiously. The dark night had helped him. He didn’t need to fear his weapons accidentally attacking his friends. He could attack every shadow that was in his line of attack. But his opponent could not do the same. They must be more careful. Because Untara is really really nimble like a deer. Occasionally he threw himself among the four of them, but suddenly he was out of the circle. Even the occasional opponent would become confused as if Untara could disappear among the splash of rain that almost subsided.
Agung Sedayu watched the fight with an irregular heartbeat. The occasional sound of weapons clashing clanged like thunder in his chest. but occasionally it fell stopped moving. His legs were shaking so bad that his knees collided. Nevertheless, he also saw young people of his age fighting against his brother. There was an unsettling feeling in his heart. Why is the man so young as himself able to fight against his brother? His brother for Agung Sedayu is a person who is greatly admired. a person who in Sedayu’s view was second to none in this world.
Nevertheless, he became anxious. Could his brother can fight four people at once. He had never seen a real fight, A fight with lives at risk. What he had seen, was how his brother practised. Sometimes he even took part of it. He knew how to avoid, attack and use the best possible opportunity. But his courage was not there to do it.
