Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 234 Negri Kamandapala
Batari Mahadewi darted away from Mandaraloka at high speed. In front of him lay the vast blue sky and sea. His main goal was to go to the island of Siwarkatantra, then after arriving there, he had to find the Udhata teacher who lived in the kingdom of Siwandacara.
But Batari Mahadevi did not want to rush to get there. During the trip, he crossed several islands. Most are small islands, but there are also large islands inhabited by humans. According to the swordsman Eye of Heaven, he would pass through several large islands with high civilization. The islands are not as big as Mahabhumi, but have its own charm.
One of the islands that make Batari Mahadewi interested in stopping by is the island of Kamandapala. The island is larger than the island of Mandara, but both are controlled by one kingdom only. Batari Mahadevi was attracted to come to the island not because the island looked attractive, but the divine heirloom incarnation girl caught the presence of evil energy that faintly radiated from the island.
Batari Mahadewi descended in a forest not far from the small village. The evil aura he felt came and went. In his mind, such energy did not belong to a human. He suspected that the energy came from an ancient demonic creature. It could be, the queen Ogha had first arrived on the island, and freed the demonic creature that was there. Or, the creature came from somewhere else.
Batari Mahadevi wanted to find out. He rushed to the village along a small road. Some people who had been outside the house went straight inside as soon as they realized the arrival of Batari Mahadevi.
Of course, the divine heirloom incarnation girl felt astonished, ‘Is that strange looking from my current appearance? Don't I look like a normal swordsman?’
Batari Mahadevi refused to knock on the door. He could feel the fear that was being experienced by the people in the village. ‘Alright, I will try to find out the situation that is going on elsewhere.'
The divine heirloom incarnate girl continued to walk away from the village. In front, there was a large river that separated the village he had just passed by with the other villages. The big river was flowed by clear water and not too swift. Without the use of his eyes, Batari Mahadewi can see hundreds of fish swimming and scrambling for food. Suddenly he felt like eating something.
‘Is in the opposite village, I can be lucky to find a food stall?’ his inner. In the previous village, there was not a single tavern or inn. The village was too small and deserted. People don't need shopping. They can live by relying only on the wealth of nature.
In one leap, Batari Mahadevi was across the river. He kept walking and watching the situation around him. It turned out the same, people went straight into the house as soon as they saw the arrival of Batari Mahadevi. ‘That's weird, what's with these guys?’
A moment later after the divine heirloom incarnation girl reached the middle of the village, several warriors came with suspicious eyes. They were novice warriors who could not even discern the kind of energy one possessed.
“Nona is a stranger, isn't she? What do you want to come here?” the men looked wary and thought Batari Mahadevi was a black swordsman, especially when they saw the two fangs of the divine heirloom incarnation girl seem a little longer than normal people.
“I only stopped for a while on this island. Even if I am not welcome here, of course I will go,” replied Batari Mahadewi.
The novice swordsmen became a little hesitant after hearing the answer from Batari Mahadevi. Because, if he is someone who intends evil, certainly will not give an answer like that.
“Can I know what's going on here? Previously, people in the village across the river were also seen avoiding me,” asked Batari Mahadewi.
“It is better that the lady leave here soon, we do not want to get any problems,” said one of the warriors.
“I'm willing to help if you want. But if not, then I will go from here,” Batari said.
“No need, miss. We don't need any help. Please leave here immediately!” the warriors drove out Batari Mahadevi.
After Batari Mahadevi left, the warriors and the villagers brought back the arrival of the Tirayamani troops who still traumatized them. They were worried that the arrival of Batari Mahadevi would bring bad luck. The god-heritage incarnate girl finally understood. As expected, the Tirayamani troops had indeed stopped there and made a mess.
‘If this is true, some of them should still be on this island, or maybe even in the royal palace of this island. I must head to the royal city to know everything clearly,’ Batari Mahadewi.
On the island, there is only one city which is the royal city of Kamandapala, the same name as the name of the island.
Unlike the village area, the urban area is much more dense. But the people in the city hid anxiety on their faces even though they continued to move as usual.
Batari Mahadewi chose a restaurant that is not too crowded. Besides eating, he wanted to steal the talk of the people who were there. Some Tirayamani warriors were seen wandering, but they did not cause unrest as happened in Catrabhumi and Catrawana. Perhaps because they have long ruled the island and began to think that if they continue to spread fear, then they themselves will lose.
“Nona want to order what?” ask the shopkeeper.
“Burning meat and young coconut, uncle,” replied Batari Mahadewi.
“Will we prepare, miss.” The waiter went to prepare the order. Soon, five black warriors of Tirayamani entered the tavern. The shop owner's face looked nervous, indicating that it often happened there.
“Prepare our rations, jangn forgot, best food for us five!” command one of the warriors.
“Good sir,” said the shop owner.
Batari Mahadevi suspected that the black warriors were not making a mess, but they were still blackmailing the Kamandapala people in such a way. Batari Mahadevi became curious, what about the fate of the Kamandapala royal family.
What is typical of the black warriors is that they are easily offended by trivial things, such as they are angry when the servant delivers the order Batari Mahadewi.
“Service*****, would you like to search for dead? Why didn't you deliver our order first?” snapped one of the black warriors.
The waiter was trembling. He's confused. On the one hand, Batari Mahadewi's order is ready and should be delivered while still warm, but if he does, he will get a big problem.
“Already uncle, just save my order. Later escorted again here if uncle has served their order,” said Batari Mahadewi. The girl realized her words would definitely offend the five selfless black swordsmen.
Batari Mahadevi did not care. If they were to challenge, then he would make the five warriors lose their pride in a very humiliating manner.
Alleged incarnation girl heirloom god was not missed. The bunch of trash began to react with his words they had just listened to.
