Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 11 First Task
In the evening, at the Thousand Spruce Padepokan, Ki Gading Putih had dinner together with his three students. After Ki Gading Putih saw the training of Batari Mahadevi, since then he also thought and weighed many times about a thing for the development of his students.
Ki Gading Putih planned to send the three of them in an assignment. Of course, the most important of the task is not the success of their work in the task, but the experience of life when the students travel outside to see the realities in the martial world.
So after that simple dinner, Ki Gading Putih said his point, “Murid-my students, I think it's time I will give a task for the three of you.” Niken and Jalu could not hide their enthusiastic spirit because that was what they were waiting for.
With the Batari Mahadewi, the three will be a strong team. Ki Gading Putih does not need to worry about their safety, because if the three are combined, then legendary swordsman in the class of Ki Gading Putih is not necessarily able to deal with it.
“The three of you will work together in one team. I hope you can take care of each other, especially the two of you, Niken and Jalu, take care of your sister.” Ki Gading Putih.
“Good teacher.” Niken and Jalu said. In their respective minds, Batari Mahadevi had such terrible strength that there was nothing to worry about for her safety.
“So, what's our job teacher?” ask Jalu curious.
“The three of you will be assigned to deliver this book to the Sky Lantern College in the western region. Tell me you're my students. I am well acquainted with Ki Cakra Jagad, the master teacher of that college.” Ki Gading Putih.
“When will we leave guru?” ask Niken.
“After this you have to pack and tomorrow morning you will leave. It may take about three months to get there if you have no obstacles at all on the way. But don't worry, you don't have to rush to get there. Make your trip a worthwhile experience.” Ki Gading Putih.
“Good teacher.” They said betiga. After that, the three disciples of Ki Gading Putih went into their respective huts to pack up, then rest prepare energy for the journey tomorrow.
The next day, the three of them were preparing to leave. Ki Gading Putih escorted them to the gate. Seeing them go and hope nothing bad happens to them, considering the three he already considers as his own child.
After the three are no longer visible, Ki Gading Putih performs medi in the cave of Sacred Heart waterfall. In that semedi, usually Ki Ivory White travel far. His body will remain in the cave, but his soul will be able to quickly dart to the places he wills.
His uneasiness prompted him to immediately meet his old friend, the Southern Dragon King swordsman, a half-stealth and half-human embodiment master swordsman. He is much older in age compared to Ki Gading Putih. The two met for the first time in a war between a black swordsman and a white swordsman 250 years ago.
The black faction which is a combination of various black science colleges suffered a crushing defeat and lost many members. They swore vengeance one day; annihilate the whites.
Through astral travel, the spirit of White Ivory Ki can dart quickly through other dimensions until it reaches the residence of the Southern Dragon King. Of course, only high warriors can see the presence of the same White Ivory Ki spirit as the ghost spirit. It was not difficult for the Southern Dragon King to know the presence of the White Ivory Ki as he himself was a half-stealth human.
“Hahahaha!!! I thought you would finally come here after resigning from the martial world. How are you old Bangka, why don't you die?” greet the typical Southern Dragon King with a rude flirtation.
“Hahaha!!! I've always been healthy my best friend, maybe I'll die after you die. I want to accompany you in hell, hahaha!”reply Ki Ivory White is no less rude.
“Hmm..Suddenly you came here, there must be something. Try telling me. There's no way you're here this way just to visit and ask me how I am, is there?!” ask the Southern Dragon King
“Yes, of course! I haven't been out of my house since I decided to get out of the martial world. It's just that, lately I've been picking up on cues I don't understand. You're the only one I can ask about this.” Answer Ki Gading White
“Did you hide something big from me my best friend? I know something's wrong at the moment, and maybe there'll be a disaster soon. But I don't know what's going on right now.” Said Ki Gading Putih.
“The giant nation has taken control of the heaven. If this is the news you're expecting, I'll tell you what I know.” Answer the Southern Dragon King.
“Since when?” ask Ki Gading White.
“Perhaps seven years ago, after the giant king Kalapati completed his hermitage.” Answer the Southern Dragon King.
“Why didn't you tell me this important news?” Ask Ki Gading White.
“What we can do. Besides I don't want to disturb your peaceful old age in the village, you yourself are willing to no longer be involved in the martial world is not it?” The Southern Dragon King
“Yes, you're right. But, this problem is more than just a matter of the martial world. Sooner or later, those giants will return to the human world and will prey on all of us, and when this happens, will we be able to die peacefully in our old age?” ki Gading Putih.
“I know that. King Dewapun can not defeat Kalapati, then what can we rely on other than hoping to die alone before seeing the destruction of the human race.” The Southern Dragon King
“Didn't you get any news from the gods? Is there no solution to this?” ask Ki Gading White.
“None of the gods told me. They think I am a cheap demon, but I am also human. I could even defeat some gods if I wanted to. Yeah, I'm actually a little happy that the gods finally learned a lesson in his arrogance. But on the other hand, I cannot deny that soon this world will be destroyed. The Southern Dragon King
“Alright then. Then you alone, what are you going to do?” ask Ki Gading White.
“I'll stay here. I'll kill every giant that comes bothering me. What's the point of struggling? You yourself have retired too, haven't you?”
“If this is the case, of course I will not stay silent. I know that even if all the warriors come together, they will not be able to defeat Kalapati. But actually, I am tired of also staying silent in my residence. I think it's good that I spend the rest of my life on honorable things.” Reply Ki Gading White.
“Hahahaha, do you want to go back to the martial world? Good then.” The Southern Dragon King.
“That's it?” ask Ki Gading White.
“I had thought of gathering warriors from all factions and delivering this news, but you know, my relationship with another dragon king warrior who was even my own brother was not good. I also do not know well with other old warriors, and I do not even know young warriors at all. It's been 100 years no one has come and challenged me.” The Southern Dragon King.
“Maybe we still have a little hope. If we can't kill Kalapati, maybe we can lock her up or I don't know what her name is. I'm not sure, even though we all from black and white joined though.” Ki Gading Putih.
“We are waiting for the development. Besides, it's free to tell anyone about this. They'll just consider this a fairytale. So, wait until the giants begin to colonize humans, and when that happens, all parties will be more able to be invited to cooperate, even though there may be no results. There is no harm in trying.” The Southern Dragon King.
“Alright then. I'll go back to my residence. I'm waiting for any news from you.” Ki Gading Putih. Then he disappeared from before the Southern Dragon King.
