Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 32 Sun Swordsman
Batari Mahadewi issued a Sun Punch with full energy to fend off the attack of the Devil's Centipede. The two palms met and produced an enormous burst of energy. The Sun Punch Force issued by Batari Mahadewi produces a dazzling light for a moment and makes the night look like day.
The Devil Centipede once again bounced far away. This time he did not expect his right hand to have been crushed into ashes. He screamed in pain and cursed. Body vibrates. His energy has been drained. In his mind there were only two options; to die or to run.
“You still have a chance to run and change your life if you want!” Batari Mahadewi.
“You….I won't forget you. Someday I will repay you!” Said the Demon Centipede with anger and resentment for having lost one arm that would definitely change his life.
“I'm not sure you'll take revenge with your condition like that. But if you don't leave immediately with your men, I will end your fate here.” Batari Mahadewi said coldly.
The Devil Centipede finally chose to go along with his men who had lost interest in fighting after seeing the condition of their chairman.
“ Kak Jalu, have you been able to stand?” Ask Batari Mahadevi.
“Yes sister.I don't think I owe you another life. Just this time I witnessed for myself the power of the Science of the Sun.” Said Jalu.
“I will teach this science to sister. This science is compatible with the power of fire element belonging to brother. But now we have to get to the west side. Brother Niken may need our help.” Batari Mahadewi. The two then sped quickly to the west side of City Hall to see Niken's condition.
Meanwhile, Ki Suro had exchanged all tens of moves with Shadow Demon. Although it has disappeared quite a long time from the martial world, but the ability of Ki Suro is not reduced. On the contrary, the Demon Shadow who had been increasing his knowledge for many years, was now slowly pushed back. Ki Suro was like deliberately torturing his opponent before killing him.
“Come, where's your ultimate move?” Challenge Ki Suro
Shadow Demon felt free to use his ultimate style because Ki Suro easily broke it when he fought with Batari Mahadewi before.
“I admit I still lost away from you. But I'm not a coward this time. I'll face my death tonight, Sun warrior. It's an honor for me to die against you.” Said the Demon Shadow in despair.
Ki Suro understood, it was time he ended the fight. He concentrated his energy, then created a sword of light with his profound energy.
“This is a style that you did not know before, the style of the Sunlight Sword.” Ki Suro shot out at light speed and split the body of the Demon Shadow with the sword of sunlight. The Demon Shadow died without a sound. His body slowly blurred into black dust.
After ending his fight, Ki Suro darted away from the City Hall. Meanwhile, Jalu and Batari Mahadewi have reached the western wall.
“Niken, are you okay?” ask Jalu worriedly.
“I'm fine, Brother Jalu. What about you guys?” Reply Niken.
“Everything is according to plan.” Answer Jalu.
The Yellow Starling Duke rushed to meet the three of them after he managed to crush the Demon Shadow army that managed to break through inside. There is a sense of relief and disbelief in knowing the success of the three young warriors beat the black warriors who have had a reputation in the martial circles.
“Thank God you guys are fine.” Duke's Word.
Despite having escaped the attack of three black groups, however, the Duke lost many soldiers. News of the attack spread throughout the city and the next morning was a day of mourning for all residents of the town of Kaki Langit.
After the funeral ceremony of the soldiers of City Hall in the tomb of the army, Jalu, Niken and Batari Mahadewi intend to continue the journey. They say goodbye to the Duke's family at the City Hall pendopo.
“Thank you very much for the help of Raden Jalu, miss Niken and miss Batari Mahadewi. Don't imagine what it would be like if you weren't here.” Duke's Word.
“Do you guys not want to stay overnight again here?” Duke's Word.
“We have delayed this trip too long uncle. Maybe next time we will visit here again.” Said Jalu.
“We would love if Raden Jalu would like to visit here again.” Galuh. He could not hide his unpleasant mood because his idol was about to leave. He could not even express his feelings to Jalu. He felt, maybe he would not meet the handsome man again in the next time.
“Of course if we pass this city, we will stop by Sister Galuh.” Said Jalu. The three of them then say goodbye. There was a sense of relief they had finally gained valuable new experiences when facing high-level warriors. After leaving the City Hall, Batari Mahadewi expressed his wish.
“Kakak Jalu, I will stop by the library for a moment to say goodbye to Uncle Master Suro.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Yes, I also want to thank you for your help last night.” Said Jalu.
The three of them rushed towards the library. The old man smiled warmly welcoming the three of them. As the custodian of the library, the great warrior was not at all as observant as the swordsman. He did not know until when he would hide himself and secretly maintain the security of the City of Sky Feet.
“Uncle Master, we will leave to continue the journey.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Thanks for uncle's help last night.” Said Jalu.
“Hahaha. Miss Batari, study carefully Sun Science. You're very strong but you haven't been flexible using all the science you've learned. You two can learn it if you want” Ki Suro told Niken and Jalu.
“Maybe Jalu's brother who matches Sun Science, uncle.” Reply Niken.
“Hahaha, you are right lady, Sun Science cannot match a swordsman who has ice elements like this Miss Niken. Said Ki Suro. “Alright, happy to continue the journey. Greetings to your teachers. See you next time.”
“Will we send uncle's greetings to teacher. In that case, we beg you to resign, uncle.” Said Jalu. The three of them passed. Drought dust during the day broke through the city crowds.
Five days after the three of them left the town of Kaki Langit, they finally arrived at a small deserted village, Kenanga village. The village was even quieter than the village of Cemara Seribu. Many empty houses have been abandoned by their owners.
“It seems like something has happened in this village to the extent that from earlier I only saw a few people who looked.” Said Niken.
“Yes, and they stare at us with strange eyes.” Said Jalu.
“Do we have to ask one of the people we meet?” Said Niken.
“Entahlah..is not really our business either. But there's no harm. We will find out when we later find a tavern to rest.” Said Jalu.
“There is no store open here. And we don't have to ask. Last few months, this village has been slaughtered.” Batari Mahadevi said that he had focused his hearing to catch the conversation of the people who were lying in the village, and sharpened his vision to read the past recorded in the trees. Now Batari Mahadevi has improved his ability to interpret all the signs that are present around him.
“We'd better continue our journey. But maybe we find a surprise in the forest that becomes the separation between this village and the village after.” The Batari Mahadewi.
“Surprise?” ask Jalu
“I caught a thin radiance of energy from the swordsman who was in the forest there. The Swordsman was of high science and may have been waiting for our arrival.” Batari Mahadewi.
