Swordsman Without Friends
A dead dog.

Rainwater is still gushing from the sky even though it has now begun to subside.The dirt road in the duchy of Sumedang was inundated and muddled. the building of a luxury inn that is there has been destroyed collapsed with burning marks.from the sidelines of the ruins of the building can be seen some of the body figures that are downtrodden.

Although almost everyone around the place wanted to know more about the situation there but no one dared to approach. even a corpse of a young man with a broken head and a body torn apart and lying in the middle of the road was also no one who intended to get rid of him from the streets.all only dared to look from a distance

Until the rain really stopped then some people began to dare to come out of their respective places, but when they were about to get closer suddenly flashed appeared several black shadow figures. After looking at his surroundings with a threatening look, menacingly, and threatening, one of them quickly ordered five men to move to dismantle the ruins of the building, while he and five others remained standing in front of the collapsed inn.

Although their heads and faces were invisible as they were covered in black cloths but clearly the look in the eyes of these people emitted a light of anger and cruelty. the leader who was tall in stature and wearing a black mantle stomped his right foot onto the wet ground until it trembled violently as one of his men pointed towards the corpse that was sprawled in the middle of the road.

''The bastard from which dared to kill young master Gandara.!'' huffed. ''Both of you quickly find out what has happened.just ask everyone here.if there is anything suspicious or against, just kill him in his place.!'' the leader's order.if three subordinates immediately flashed looking for news, the remaining two deftly took care of the corpse of the young man named Gandara.

Not long after, there were screams and complaints of pain from several places mixed with the sound of a cruel threat. the three men returned again with a dark-clothed half-life man whose face was very dirty and somewhat battered. when viewed from the appearance of this man must have been a beggar.

''Report leader., we have checked many people but no one really knows what has happened. This bad guy said that he knew something but asked for a reward. by giving a little lesson we make this stupid kingpin open his mouth.'' said one of the three subordinates of the black coat while respecting.

''Heii., quickly tell all you know to our leader.!'' the half-aged moustache man raised his bruised face and spat. ''Chuih., aak, I, I will not bii., say anything before kaa., you give iim., reward me.!'' reply stuttered. ''It seems you are tired of living.!'' damprat the subordinate growled.when he was about to lay a fist, his leader had prevented.

'I think it's too much for a poor rascal like you.'' said the leader as he threw three gold coins from under his cloak. ''Now you tell me everything.!'' the limp-haired man changed his attitude like a starving dog meeting fresh meat bones. ''Aaa., I will., I will tell you everything. Hee., he., this is so much. I'm rich. Eehm., maa., sorry sir, I'm just too happy..''

''At that time I was begging in front of the inn, there were two guards who chased me away. when it was about to leave suddenly there were five people who came from outside about to go inside. Eeh., I remember, their clothes are the same as the ones you are wearing today. Even two of them are also wearing black coat robes like master..''

The leader and his men were shocked. ''Quickly continue your story.!'' the rug nodded. ''Well, sir, after they entered the inn, there was a noise, although it was not clear why but I still had time to hear the words 'The head of the center who ordered that you hand over the affairs in Sumedang is also the treasure of tribute to us.!''

''While from inside also heard the sound of people chiding maki. 'Filater bastard.you can't just snatch the work of others.you think I'm afraid of you.!'' the puffed-up man momentarily stopped his story. At first glance there was one thin grin on his lips. ''I don't know anymore because I have to get as far away from this place as possible. Those people have somehow attacked each other fiercely.!''

''Are you saying.how can they clash, quickly answer.!'' insist the leader half-slammed. ''Aa., I really don't know sir, it was raining too much but from a distance I could see a loud explosion on the top floor of this inn, also the scream of pain that was heard between the sound of the rain..''

''Laa., then there was a body figure that fell from the top floor.muu., maybe, he was a corpse lying on the road earlier. Aah yes, almost I forgot. the people who came earlier while leaving were also like carrying a chest.but the matter of right or not I also could not confirm it sir..'' said the bad guy while continuing to hold tightly to three pieces of gold money as if afraid of being lost.

Instantly everyone gasped in shock after hearing the words of the kingpin.but they had not had time to ask further, the man suddenly screamed stifled with his eyes whizzing.The person's body fell crashing on the muddy ground. from inside his mouth was sprayed foam mixed with blood. his tongue stuck out like a dog was dying. After groaning loudly he was still not moving anymore.

''Kee., what's with this gem.?'' furious the leader was startled.one of his men carefully examined.This man was like stunned. ''Excuse the leader, this gembel has died. from his condition he is like suffering from a severe disease and is relapsing.but there are also traces of poisoning in the blood that he vomited.!''

''Peti contains tribute treasure that collected young masters from the region of Sumedang and surrounding areas did not manage to find.then hope the leader gave us instructions.'' continued his other subordinates to be respectful. ''Satan alas., you damn bastard.not only did young master Gandara and his guards die but the chest containing the tribute treasure also disappeared.!'' the leader roared with rage. Once his hand hit, a wave of hot wind in black light directly hit the ruins of the building of the inn until the tingling tamburah.!

''We must be quick to report this matter to the leaders of the 'Devil Archipelago' party, who are the bastards who have dared to make trouble with young master Gandara if I hear from the utterance of this rascal, it seems that young master Gandara recognized the person who pestered him.Of damn it, only the insiders knew about the affairs of the young master in this Sumedang region.

Once achieved, the three pieces of gold money that were still in the grip of the gembel had returned to his hands. ''The dead need no treasure but a grave. Unfortunately we do not have time to take care of your corpse.'' after seeing his surroundings he flashed away leaving the road followed by his subordinates who carried Gandara's corpse.

Just taking five breaths of time suddenly the dead body of the man woke up. for a moment he was still feeling good sitting on the muddy ground before finally slowly standing up. after grinning cynically and spitting, he was still sitting on the ground, this person also flashed to other majors.from his movements can be ascertained that his body light science is very high.

The puffed-up man in an instant had arrived outside the territory of the duchy of Sumedang.This person had previously circled the direction two-three times and stopped at the edge of a food stall that had closed since morning. with his right hand he opened the wall of the stall, out of it came a chest and a black iron rod with the end of the handle wrapped in cloth.

Although the heavy rain had stopped but the cold air and dark clouds still hung in the sky.The atmosphere of the morning felt quiet.with his left hand he rubbed his face several times round. a few layers of tips and dirt fell to the ground.now the face turned into the countenance of a handsome young man who was rather pale and cold.

He was indeed Pranacitra. initially when he was about to go his eyes had seen there was a black-robed horde that from its characteristics he could recognize as a member of the Demon Archway.one thought flashed in his head. while in the forbidden cave in the 'Thousand Poison Valley' even though he had not succeeded in fully mastering the magic science contained there, but all the intelligence he had before still experienced a lot of improvement, including the science called 'Dog Carcass Coverage.!'

Actually this is the science of creation 'Grandmother of the Death-Wand Physician' which is considered a failure. because the grandmother considered disguised to deceive the opponent was very embarrassing she never wanted to use it. poison and medicine experts prefer to fight against the soul rather than having to be sneaky, even though by mastering this knowledge he will more easily escape from the pursuit of his enemies.

A person who is able to master this science he can not only change his face for some time but also stop the breath, blood flow and air of his life. it is said that the Granny of Death Sticks was originally just a fad to make a poison potion by using more than a hundred stray dogs as the experimental material.

The way is very cruel.first he deliberately poisoned fifty dogs to death.half of them were also given poison but with different types. the next day a hundred dogs died with blood-foamed mouths.Even the grandmother herself was unable to distinguish which dog she gave the first and second poison because the condition of the carcass was also no different.

Amazingly half a day later from the amount of fiber, fifty dogs were unexpectedly able to rise and come back to life.With the combination of disguise, magic and rare treatment, the, the grandmother was able to love the kind of strange intelligence that she named 'Dog Carcass Disguise' although one of Pranacitra's teachers never wanted to use it.

When he first went to the Valley of a Thousand Poisons, 'Angel Copet' taught him the basics of disguise. if in the course of this journey two similar sciences from different teachers were successfully combined then the results would not disappoint.proven the people of the Demon Archipelago to be unable to uncover it.

By pretending to disguise himself as a sick half-life and then giving some false information, Pranacitra wants to instill suspicion and divide the Gapura Devil party members. all of you also lighten the workload of his partner the 'White Tiger Warrior'.
