KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Naga

Then came a dragon approaching the Valley of Manah. His eyes lit up red, there were claws on his feet, two in the front and two in the back.

The dragon was about twenty meters long, with a tail filled with fine feathers. Between his eyes, there was a stone as big as a marble that glittered yellowish-red.

“Valley, if you defeat the dragon and absorb the Red Stone of Pomegranate that is between his eyes, then your strength will increase followed by the opening of the portal of the soft passage!” ki Gendon explained.

“Really teacher, emm, I will try it, hehehe,” Manah Valley said with a faint smile on her lips.

The dragon attacked the Manah Valley, drifting closer by wagging its tail. The Manah Valley that was ready from the beginning was able to dodge the dragon attack. Initially the Manah Valley only avoided dragon attacks, but over time the dragon attacks made it even more troublesome.

Almost Manah Valley was hit by the wagging tail, if not jump into the ravine wall to dodge. A single dragon-tailed jengkal passed in front of his face, and made the young man even more eager to fight.

It had been more than fifteen minutes that the two of them had exchanged moves with each other. Dragons are more dominant to attack, rather than the Manah Valley which is busy avoiding jumping in all directions.

“Try you aim the blow at his left chest!” ki Gendon's orders that witnessed the fight of the two different creatures.

“But teacher, emm, aahhkk!”

Manah Valley was hit by the dragon tail, the young man was caught off guard when he heard Ki Gendon's words, until his body crashed into the rock of the cliff wall.

“Hahaha, you underestimated the dragon so much that your energy was drained. Repeat your time and drink energy-boosting herbs!” ki Gendon's orders were immediately confirmed by the Valley of Manah. The next few moments his strength recovered.

“Now open the activation of two points of your inner power center and attack on his left chest!” ki Gendon told the Valley of Manah.

“Aduh guru, this is too difficult, this dragon is too big!” drive to the Manah Valley while dodging every dragon attack and trying to approach the area of the dragon chest that became his weak point.

“Bab boy jerky! Do you want to die out of energy!” ki Gendon.

Again the Manah Valley was sprayed by Ki Gendon, along with the opening of the activation of two points of its inner power center.

BAM!

The dragon was sprawled, hit by a single blow to his left chest. The right hand of the Manah Valley gave off a sparkling blue-colored light.

The young man smiled slightly by looking at his own hand, then directed his eyes at the dragon and approached the dragon.

“Ampun swordsman, I admit defeat!” said the dragon that made the Manah Valley shocked for a while.

Just this time he saw such a creature and could also speak human language.

“Did I not hear wrong Teacher?” asked the Manah Valley while looking towards Ki Gendon.

“It looks like the dragon is talking to you Valley!” reply Ki Gendon.

“I am Naga Maruta, I used to be the mount of the Kamananta Resi!” said the dragon. “But when he fought with the Devil Yaksha, he lost heavily and released me into this abyss. Since then I have no contact with the outside world!”

“But I seem to have changed my mind. Swordsman, I see a uniqueness in your inner power center point because it is different from some other swordsman who asked me for strength. You'll be a great warrior!” continued the dragon.

“So, before I fell into this abyss, there were many warriors who deliberately sought you Maruta?” ask the Valley of Manah to the Dragon of Maruta.

“Yes, those who claim to be warriors, but abuse their power for bad things. I'm not giving this Red Stone of Pomegranate to the wrong hands!” furious Dragon Maruta.

“Now take this Red Stone of Pomegranate between my eyes, swordsman!” the Order of the Dragon Maruta.

“Anu, but how?” sahut Valley Manah Confused.

“Apply with your inner energy, later this stone will be sucked and become one with your body. Do you already know the advantages of Red Stone Pomegranate?” ask the Dragon of Maruta to the Valley of Manah.

“No, emm, I don't know Maruta!” replied the Manah Valley shaking its head.

“Hahaha, plain child basis!” the Dragon of Maruta.

“What's your name swordsman?” ask the dragon to the Valley of Manah.

“Emm, my name is Valley, Valley of Manah!” sahut Valley Manah.

“Alright Manah Valley, if you absorb this stone, then you can open the three gates of life!” the Dragon Maruta.

“What! Three Gates of Life!” The valley of Manah widened his eyes.

“Yes, Three Gates of Life. And as new powers come, great responsibilities will grow for you, Valley. May we be partners!” close the Dragon Maruta.

The Three Gates of Life was a condition where the body of a swordsman was able to maximize the function of several of his limbs.

The first gate is called the Gate of Darkness, which maximizes the speed function of both hands. The second is called the Gate of Life, which maximizes the function of both feet.

And the third one is named the Gate of Death, which maximizes the heart's working function by beating twice as fast, but its effects can make the swordsman paralyzed even death.

“You should know, Valley. In the world of shortness, there are three factors that determine a swordsman to be a winner in a fight!” the Dragon Maruta exclaimed to the Manah Valley which was still stunned.

“The first is stamina. If a swordsman has strong stamina, despite dueling for a long time in one fight. It is not impossible that the swordsman will be the winner!” continued Dragon Maruta who was replied with a nod to the head of the Valley of Manah.

“The second is the technique owned. If a swordsman has several mastered styles, the chances of winning in a fight will be even greater!” connect the Dragon Maruta.

“And the third is strategy. If a swordsman with keen attention to the opponent's stance or see the gap of the opponent's weakness, can even plan what style will be used next in a duel, of course the percentage of victory is getting bigger!”

The Manah Valley was speechless understanding every single thing that the Dragon Maruta said. Stamina, fighting techniques and strategies became the capital for him to wade through the world of very hard martial arts.

“So don't get discouraged if you get an opponent who has a level of magic canuragan above you!” close the Dragon Maruta.

Meanwhile, from a distance Ki Gendon was only silent to hear the conversation of the two of them while stroking his beard.

The valley of Manah follows the orders of the dragon. The young man poured a deep energy into his hands, then aimed at the Red Stone of Pomegranate between the eyes of the Maruta Dragon.

Slowly the stone was lifted from its place and sucked into one with the blue light belonging to the Manah Valley that entered through his palms.

For a moment, the body of the Manah Valley felt an immense pain. His joints seemed to be released, his bones and muscles getting hardened, until the young man fell sprawled.

However, the pain only lasted for twenty seconds and the effect, the level of his body strength was increasing.
