Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 146 Return to Practice
In the quiet town of Dhyana, despite the thirty thousand soldiers standing guard there, Jalu and Niken were talking to Agrapana's grandfather.
“I'm sorry that these few days haven't been able to talk at length with you guys. Even with you, Miss Niken, I didn't get to see you in meditation before Miss walked into this altar. Hahaha, usually I give a welcome in the meditation of anyone who comes to this holy altar. Yes, in this precarious condition, this old me must move there to.” Agrapana.
“It's okay grandfather, brother Jalu already told me a lot about grandfather Agrapana.” Said Niken.
“Lho, where's the little girl? He's not with you?” ask Agrapana. Jalu and Niken looked at each other, both then told of the incident that night when Batari Mahadewi had disappeared for three months and had not returned.
“Means, maybe now the little girl is in another world through the door of the sky that has opened when she fights the little guy who became her opponent.” The eyes of Agrapana's grandfather suddenly even sparkled, in contrast to Jalu and Niken who always worried about their beloved sister.
“We are always anxious waiting for our sister to return, grandfather, but it seems like Agrapana's grandfather is not the least bit worried about it.” said Jalu.
“What to worry about. The little girl would increase her strength in that other world, a world that only gods or anyone with the power of gods could pass through. But don't be surprised by the change when he comes back. Maybe he will be a figure you don't recognize anymore.” Agrapana.
“Mean grandfather?” ask Niken.
“Wait just. It won't be more than two or three years, he'll be back. I'm not sure, but his destiny is in this world. In a situation like this, you shouldn't think about what's not here. Think of yourself. How far are you currently?” ask Agrapana. The question was a little in the hearts of Jalu and Niken, because both have not strengthened themselves much in recent times.
“To be honest we did not have time to practice..” replied Jalu.
“There is still time. You have to be much stronger than now. If that little girl isn't here right now, then you two should be able to replace her. Come follow me.” Agrapana said as he stood up and walked towards one of the halls on the holy altar.
Jalu and Niken followed the old man. Jalu was sure the old man would teach her something valuable to himself and Niken.
“Well, you two should now be quiet here. You will enter into a space where time will stop spinning. We will meet there if you guys manage to get into it.” Agrapana.
Jalu and Niken sat in a meditative position, then kept quiet. For those who are used to it, it is not difficult to enter the lonely world of meditation, where at first a boisterous mind will continue to pass, memories will scatter like a dream, then all will be lost and a quiet world will be seen.
Jalu and Niken were still both when they had made it into the world without time. Jalu thought he and Niken would be separated, as he and Batari Mahadevi meditated for the first time before being allowed to enter the holy altar.
The pair of fire and ice warriors were still guessing what they would experience next. The two of them were in an all-white and vast space without borders. Grandpa Agrapana appeared to him.
Jalu and Niken looked at each other. Both of them have not trained for a long time. And this exercise will feel strange, because they have become lovers, not the two teenagers who are hiding their feelings.
“Come, what else are you waiting for!” agrapana. Sometimes he is gentle, but sometimes he can be a very rude and cruel grandfather, as the grandfather had beaten Batari Mahadevi to improve his abilities.
Jalu and Niken get ready. Both are emitting energy. Hot and cold weather meet and clash with each other.
“More powerful again! You think what you're doing right now is making fun!” agrapana Shouts.
“Keep out all your energy, Niken.” Jalu said excitedly.
“Kakak too!” said Niken.
Jalu transformed into a fireman and Niken made the air around him become frozen. The two of them shot out quickly and attacked each other with full force. But not until the two exchanged a hundred moves, Agrapana again rebuked the two of them.
“Stop! You guys are so adorable! Now you two fight me!” agrapana. The old grandfather suddenly radiated his energy making Jalu and Niken bounce far away. Both of them rose up with a horrified feeling. ‘The grandfather only radiates energy, but the jolt is very strong.’ Batin Niken's.
Agrapana gave another surprise. Half of his body became a fireman, and the other half became an ice man. Then the old man attacked Niken and Jalu simultaneously. If Niken gets a fire attack that makes his body feel burning and ice defense feels useless, then Jalu is made to freeze instantly in one attack.
The two warriors collapsed and groaned in pain, but before long, the energy of the two returned to normal. The old grandfather continuously beat up the warrior pair mercilessly forcing the two to find a way to survive, then the rest tried to put up a fight with a counterattack. Many times Jalu and Niken fainted, then recovered again as usual.
“If your abilities are only like this, then what can I expect from you in this imminent war! Come on, try harder, you stupid idiot! Did your teacher never teach you anything useful!” the words of Agrapana sounded so painful, but that way, the desire to fight on Niken and Jalu as if resurrected.
Niken tried to chant the Dream Introductory Chant and intended to paralyze the old grandfather's mind.the invisible energy waves subtly ambushed the old man and slowly tried to enter into his mind realm. What a pity, the old geezer easily rolled up the wave of energy attacking that consciousness, then returned it towards Niken. Jalu who saw the gap quickly threw a sun blow at Agrapana's grandfather's body. The grandfather quickly created an indestructible ice shield with the power of Jalu.
“Until here, do you know what your weaknesses are?” ask Grandpa Agrapana. Jalu and Niken still could not find the answer. “You have never felt death!” said the old man while releasing two balls of fire and ice energy for Niken and Jalu. Niken is confined to a fireball while Jalu is confined to an ice ball. The two energy balls then tortured Jalu and Niken's bodies mercilessly.
Both were helpless, but neither died. Agrapana deliberately released energy that had not yet emerged from Jalu and Niken's body in such a forced manner. As a result, on the brink of consciousness of that pair of warriors, the bodies of both of them were resisting. Jalu's body emitted a greater fire energy to suppress the cold that attacked him, and instead, Niken's body emitted ice energy to suppress the heat that enveloped him.
