Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 17 Secret to Making the Sword of the Milky Way
Niken, Jalu and Batari Mahadewi chose to follow the man carrying the bone parcel. The man walked in a hurry to the gun shop that this afternoon visited Batari Mahadevi and his two brothers.
“It is clear now the motive behind this theft.” Said Jalu.
“Yes, they need the bones of a corpse to make a weapon so that the weapon has death energy that seems to come from the past.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Then what we will do next. It's easy to find those two bone thieves.” Said Niken.
“In fact, this is none of our business. But I have a hunch that if this keeps happening, then something bad will happen.” Said Jalu.
“Absolutely. Especially if they managed to find the graves of warriors. Of course the weapons they produce will have dangerous luck as well. Do you think their goal is just for business?” batari Mahadewi.
“We don't rush into action. It's good we investigate first. Maybe in the next few days, we just keep an eye on the activities of the store. We find out where they're going to sell those weapons.” Said Jalu.
“Good idea.” Said Niken.
“How about we infiltrate that store right now. Supposedly they will keep working at night.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Come we do. Maybe we should scout from the roof of that building.” Jalu gave a suggestion.
The three then jumped onto the roof of the building without making any sound at all, then peered at what the people inside the building were doing.
Inside that upstairs room, some people were still working. The assumption of Batari Mahadewi is true, the people are forging bones to be used as weapons. First they did was to transfer the death energy from the bone to the metal of the weapon, then smash the bone into flour, and sprinkle it onto the metal of the weapon they had just burned in the furnace.
There were three workers who were working on one large and long sword weapon. All three of them are very skilled in that field. At least they were warriors with magic that could not be underestimated, because in addition to being able to move energy, they also had the skill to create beautiful carvings on the sword.
The three gun makers did not realize that Batari Mahadevi, Niken and Jalu were on the rooftop stalking them. Of course, they were too focused on making weapons and at the same time, Niken, Jalu, and Batari Mahadewi blurred the energy on their bodies so that they could not be felt by the three swordsmen.
In order to make an heirloom sword, the swordsmiths needed the bones of more than one swordsman's corpse. Although the three weapon makers were magic warriors, but they could not catch the presence of the characters from the flying bones evaporating along with the destruction of the bones.
Batari Mahadevi got the opportunity to read as much information from the characters as he could see it. From there, Batari Mahadevi managed to recognize the bones of anyone who was being made as a weapon, as well as the expertise of the warriors in the past.
Batari Mahadewi then became aware of why in the village there are many graves because in the past, there were so many warriors who were killed when facing spider stealth attacks in the valley of death.
At first the spider attacked humans from one village to another. It certainly caused chaos. White gabugan warriors from various regions were asked for help to overcome the problem. There were at least over 300 warriors who came to provide assistance.
In the Water Life Village, the fight between 300 warriors and dozens of spider demons took place. As long as the residents had been displaced since the spider had started to approach their village so that at that time, the Water of Life Village became a battlefield between the spider demon and the magic swordsmen.
The spider demon king could not be killed and the only way to overcome it was to seal it within the forest. The entire edge of the forest had been put on a spell fence so that the spider demon would never be able to get out of the forest forever. The slain warriors were buried respectfully in the village.
Residents who have been displaced no longer want to return to live in their villages. Water Life Village became a dead village for decades. Eventually many people forgot about the incident and the story of the fight between 300 warriors with spider demons felt like a fairy tale.
The village came back to life when someone first found a gold mine. Finally many immigrants who flock to seek fortune in the region. Only a few native people of Air Life village want to return to their homeland. The rest did not want to come closer because they knew the spider demon did not die. Instead of living in a valley near their village.
Thus, not many Water Life villagers knew the truth about the existence of the spider demon. The next victims of the spider demon were only the villagers who did not know that the spider demon had been sealed in the forest of the valley. Anyone who enters the forest will never be seen again and from then on the valley is named after the valley of death.
Now, no one knows also that Batari Mahadevi, Niken and Jalu have killed the spider demon king. All that remains is a smaller and less dangerous spider demon, at least for the warriors whose magic has been qualified.
When Batari Mahadevi, Jalu and Niken were about to leave the roof, suddenly there were two other people who entered the gun workshop on the third floor of the bagungan.
“Is it still long to finish that weapon?” ask one of the people who came in. His body was fat and his clothes looked different from the others. Of course he is the owner of the business because the other people there are very respectful to him.
“Yes, this weapon cannot be finished immediately sir. We still need at least 10 more skulls to perfect the power of this weapon. The more skulls we get, the better the result.” Said one of the gun makers.
“How much is so?” The shop owner grumbled.
“If the weapon for an ordinary swordsman, 2 or 3 skulls alone is enough sir. But if the head of the Black Bat group is going to use it, it certainly needs a very good weapon to compensate for its strength.” Said the saboteur.
“Wah, can lose me. Not necessarily that bandit would pay a heavy price for this sword. Can't you just finish it now?” the shop owner said.
“Can only sir. But I'm sure the Black Bat chief will know that the quality of this sword is not as good as he requested. As a result it can be dangerous for all of us sir.” The gun maker said it was warning of the threat that lay before their eyes.
“Sials. Really shit. The arrival of that person really brought a lot of losses. You know the skull price of one swordsman is more than 100 gold pieces. We've already spent 6 skulls and this thing is not finished!” the shop owner was angry. Then he picked up the unfinished weapon and swung it recklessly.
As a result, the weapon trembled violently, as if it had a life and as if it was offended, the sword gave off a reddish glow, it then circled around attacking and destroying several objects in the room before one of the gun makers grabbed it and calmed it down.
“You better be careful with this sword. As I said, this sword contains not only the warrior spirit, but also its power so that this sword can be said to be alive.” The gun maker explained.
The shop owner left the room. His face was still pale from fear, but he could not
hiding his anger at having to pay a heavy price to buy the materials needed until the weapon was finished.
Batari Mahadevi, Jalu and Niken finally got important information from the reconnaissance. The thing is, they don't know who the Black Bat's head is and what its influence is in the martial world.
