Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 176 Towards the Holy Temple of Thunder
After a long discussion with Hannam elders, Batari Mahadewi and Nala finally got permission to try to harass the queen of Halilintar who currently controls the holy temple of Halilintar.
“According to the elders, do the citizens of the upper world also not mind if we attack the queen of Thunderbolt?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“Of course not, you guys getting permission from me alone is more than enough. To be honest, I myself am tired if I continue to take care of those energy tubes. As an elder in the underworld, it's my duty. If we can all purify our bodies, then we will not only live around here, but again inhabit other small islands around this main island.” Said elder Hannam.
“Alright if the elders bless us, then we are sure to face the queen of Thunderbolt at this time as well.” Nala said excitedly.
Nala and Batari Bahadewi did not have a reason to linger there. At least they had been almost seven years in the three-month world. Thus, the sooner they managed to master the energy from the four major sources of the three-month world, then they could return to their home world. If that turns out to be true.
Batari Mahadevi and Nala shot upwards. The two agreed to lure the Halilintar queen away from the sacred temple, and away from the residential area, to reduce the risk of damage or threat to the residents of Halilintar island.
The mountain that soared into the sky was higher than expected by Batari Mahadevi and Nala. It had been a while for both of them to blast upwards at high speed, yet they had not even reached the plains of the upper world. The more they rose upwards, passing through several layers of clouds, they felt the air turn cold, and the ice strength in their bodies again strengthened when compared to the fire power they had.
The higher up, the higher mountain rocks were getting thicker covered by snow. Batari Mahadevi and Nala imagine that how difficult life lived by the inhabitants of Halilintar island for many generations today.
Finally Batari Mahadewi and Nala arrived at the top of the mountain which became the settlement of the citizens of the thunderbolt of the upper world. In contrast to the island of Ice, the inhabitants there create houses from rocks covered with ice, with the same shape as houses in the underworld. The population of the upper world was much less than that of the inhabitants of the lower world.
The existence of the Halilintar queen does not actually pose a threat to the residents of Halilintar island. At least, the queen never attacked or caused chaos. He only monopolized the holy temple and did not allow anyone to be there.
Batari Mahadevi and Nala stopped for a moment at the top of Halilintar mountain. In the middle of the mountain was built a giant pillar towering upwards and at the top of the pillar is the location of the holy temple of Halilintar island.
“Jeez, still got to go upstairs again. Suppose we do not have the power of the island of fire and the island of ice, there is no way we can reach the top of it.” said Nala.
“Iya, it's worth it that we have to take the energy in each of these places gradually. Do you think we need to greet the residents on this mountain top?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“No need, we just go straight up and make the queen of Thunder pursue us.” Answer Nala.
“What if he doesn't want to leave the temple? do you have any other plans?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“I don't have. Let's try to let us know the outcome. If he does not want to leave the holy temple, we think again how to later.” Nala. He does not want to worry much about making decisions.
But the two had not yet moved up, suddenly someone had been behind the two of them. The figure may be as old as Hannam's elder with a frown and the shape of his face, but what is different is the color of the porcupine spines on his head, which is gold.
“Welcome. Why do you seem to be in such a hurry? Stop by for a second. Of course you met with elder Hannam before you came here, didn't you?” said the man.
“I'm Samman, the elder of the upper world on the island of Halilintar. Only people with high capabilities can get here without using our ship. Surely, you guys want to go to the sacred temple, don't you?” Said elder Samman.
“Really uncle. As we have talked with elder Hannam, we intend to lure the queen of the Thunderbolt to leave the temple, then we will fight against her.” Nala.
“I want to give a little provision to you, who knows will help a little. You can still absorb energy from our main source from here, but there is not much you can absorb. But at the very least, it will add a new kind of strength to your body. Wait, Hmm...you already have the lightning energy in your body, right? How can we get it?” Ask Samman's elder to Batari Mahadevi.
Batari Mahadevi immediately remembered the science of lightning and wind that he got on the altar of the sky when he was in the village of Upper Clouds, Swargadwipa.
“I have studied the secret book in our home world grandfather, with that book, I can have the power of lightning and be able to control the wind with the power that is in my body.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Good then. More or less your abilities are similar to ours. Surely, your strength will increase and will become stronger than the lightning energy you already have before. Because, to fight the queen of the Thunder, I think you do need the power of the thunderbolt, or at least have understood it so that you can know how to save yourself from the blows of the thunderbolt.” Said elder Samman.
“I don't have it.” Nala.
“It's good that you learn it first before you both challenge the queen.” said elder Samman. Batari Mahadevi nodded in agreement with what the elder Samman had said.
“No problem, Nala, I can wait for you a few days here while you absorb the energy radiance from the main source that reached this region.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Alright then. Where can I do it, elder?” ask Nala.
“See there, in the row of box-shaped rocks lined up around the sky pillar, you can sit there between the energy tubes we installed.” said elder Samman.
Nala did as elder Samman suggested. He sat among the black tubes he had seen before at the residence of the elder Hannam. For three days Nala sat in a cross-legged position, absorbing as much lightning energy as possible from the holy altar above her. Batari Mahadewi waited for Nala while walking around the upper world, while occasionally he talked to the people he met.
On the third day, Nala had already had a thunderbolt energy in her body. Although not as strong as Batari Mahadewi, at least Nala has been able to create a beam of electrical energy that twists around his body. That made the elder Samman a little surprised and finally understood why the two world warriors one moon who became his guest had such great power at such a young age, almost fourteen years.
“Finally you managed to master it, Nala.” said Batari Mahadewi.
“Yes, before I only watched you when you emitted this kind of energy. Now I can do the same.” Nala was satisfied with her achievement. However, in his heart he wanted to surpass the achievement of the power possessed by Batari Mahadevi. Perhaps because he was a man, he felt that he should be stronger than women. I don't know why he feels that way.
Moreover, now Nala's body size has been larger and higher than Batari Mahadewi even though when they first came in the world three months, Batari Mahadevi's body was a bit higher than him. The two magic warriors were ready to challenge the thunder queen residing in the holy temple.
