KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Fire Whip (1)

That morning on the banks of a wide and long river, there appeared to be many middle warriors gathered with formations surrounding a stage. Also seen the banners of each college fluttering in front of one of their elders.

The stage with a height of one meter and a length of twenty meters was used to introduce an heirloom. In the middle of the stage there is a chest that is not too big, as a place to store the heirloom.

A man with a long barbed head came forward to the center of the stage and took the heirloom from his storage crate.

A whip that was still circular was lifted up high by the man with the head of the plontos while walking around on the stage.

“Anyone who opposes me you will regret!” exclaim the plontos-headed man.

“What!” shouting all the warriors were surprised, they looked at each other hearing the words of the plontos-headed man.

“That's the Fire Whip of Dragon Geni!” exclaimed one of the warriors widened his eyes.

“Why the whip can be in the hands of Lokadenta!” another swordsman.

“Something must be wrong!” another swordsman's timpal.

An old man dressed in all white came up the stage and said, “you are so rude. So you gathered all of us in this place just to obey your orders!”

“Hahaha, true Eyang Sobo Giri!” sahut the man with the head of the plontos known as Lokadenta. “I will rule the martial world, hahaha!”

Lokadenta gathered the warriors on the riverbank to have a certain purpose. Yes, really, the man with the head of the plontos was about to challenge all the colleges and warriors to obey him and intend to rule the territory of the Duchy of the Valley of Flowers.

The Valley of Flowers Duchy itself is to the west of the Kabaman Duchy which is only separated by a large and long river. The river is called Sabayu River.

“If you disagree, you can fight me!” lokadenta exclaimed his chest. “If you win, then I will release you. But if you lose, inevitably you have to be my followers, hahaha!”

The old grandfather, who did not accept Lokadenta's statement, immediately pulled out the sword from his nest and attacked Lokadenta with some of his maidservants. However, with an heirloom whip in his hand, Lokadenta was hard to beat.

The old grandfather was hit by a whip on his left chest and died instantly with a torn wound that burned with fire.

“That's the result if it goes against me, hahaha!” lokadenta once again wrapped the fire whip in his right hand. “I give you until tomorrow the sun is right overhead to make your choice!”

Three days earlier...

At a hut not far from the Sabayu River, an old man was finishing an heirloom which he said had a high level of difficulty in making.

A whip with a dragon head shaped base and tip that resembles a dragon tail.

“I name the Fire Whip Dragon Geni!” said the old man raising the whip high with both hands.

He was Empu Tulak, an old grandfather who was good at making various kinds of weapons. Empu Tulak is also a supplier of Sokapura Kingdom warrior weapons. From the hands of Empu Tulak many heirlooms were born which were then sold in the martial world.

Not only a blacksmith, Empu Tulak is also proficient in making weapons of various types. From arrows, explosive powder, to whips that had nothing to do with the iron element, could be made by Empu Tulak.

“Guru is indeed very expert in making various heirlooms!” exclaimed the man with the head of the plontos who was none other than Lokadenta.

Empu Tulak passed from the heating furnaces and was about to head to his room to store the Fire Whip of the Dragon Geni. However, Lokadenta followed him and peeked at where his teacher kept the heirloom.

“There may be I just be a blacksmith!” lirih Lokadenta implied hatred for the teacher. “I must stand at the highest point as a swordsman!”

By the early hours of the morning, when Empu Tulak was asleep, Lokadenta planned to forcibly take the heirloom whip that his teacher had just finished making.

With a sneak, from his room passed some furniture where put various weapons to the room of Empu Tulak. Until the man was at the door of the master's room.

Unlocked, Lokadenta easily enters the room of Empu Tulak and runs the action. The man opened the small closet right next to his teacher's bed, and grabbed a black box.

Lokadenta grabbed the box and placed it on the floor of the room which was still in the form of soil. The man smiled sinisterly as he got what he had wanted, the Geni Dragon Flame Whip. Soon Lokadenta put the whip back in the box and took it away without closing the door of the wooden cabinet.

However, just as he was about to get out of his teacher's room, Lokadenta's shoulder hit the door leaf and the rowdy sound made Empu Tulak open his eyes.

“Who's there!” Empu Tulak got out of his bed and grabbed a torch embedded in the wall of the room made of wooden planks.

A flash of Lokadenta's shadow made Empu Tulak chase after the shadow. Lokadenta ran out of the house carrying a chest containing an heirloom whip.

While Empu Tulak again checked his room and was surprised to find the heirloom whip that had just been made was not in place.

The action of mutual pursuit takes place under the shining moon. Although his age is old, but to pursue Lokadenta is not a difficult matter for Empu Tulak.

Lokadenta runs downstream of the Sabayu River, through rock and rock to a forest of people planted with one type of plant. Empu Tulak was still chasing Lokadenta, because according to the old man, the Geni Dragon Whip was of high selling value. And if it falls into the hands of the wrong people, it will be a disaster.

“Restore that whip!” exclamation Empu Tulak chasing Lokadenta.

The night changed in the morning, Empu Tulak still chased his students who carried away his heirloom whip. Occasionally using science lightened his body to narrow the pursuit distance.

Until he reached the rocks are wide and slightly flat, Lokadenta stop and want to fight his teacher. The man took the heirloom whip and threw the black-colored crate that became his storage container.

“Restore that whip! Durhaka disciple!” exclamation Empu Tulak shortly after successfully chasing Lokadenta.

“I'm sorry teacher!” sahut Lokadenta twirled an heirloom whip over his head. “I will be a swordsman and be at the top point!”

After saying so, Lokadenta swung the whip towards Empu Tulak. Originally, the old geezer was able to avoid every whip of heirloom. However, due to his depleted stamina and old age, Empu Tulak was hit by a single slash on his chest.

Empu Tulak was thrown backwards with a torn wound on his left chest. The old grandfather grimaced in pain and held the wound with his right hand. It felt sore and hot like being hit by embers, that was what the chest of Empu Tulak felt at this time.

When he was about to attack the teacher who fell down, suddenly a black shadow cast out Lokadenta's hand and made the man with the head of the plontos stagger back.

“Who are you!” Lokadenta snorted towards the young man before him. “How dare it interfere with my business!”

“You don't need to know who I am!” sahut the young man who turned out it was the Valley of Manah. “Which is clear, I will crush all forms of evil!”
