Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 40 The Body of Fire
Jalu prefers to wait for the Wind Eyes swordsman to attack first. The whirlpool of energy he emitted made the Wind Eyes swordsman hesitate to attack. The two waited for each other for a while. Then, the Wind Eye swordsman made a long-range attack to measure the strength and speed of his opponent.
Using high inner power, the Wind Eye swordsman created four slender, high wind whirlpools at a whirling speed that could lift a mother elephant. The four whirlwinds slowly approached towards Jalu. This made his movement space even more difficult because he had to survive so as not to be dragged by the whirlwind.
Suppose the courtyard of the House of Ki Eagle Sky is not made of stone entirely, then this kind of fight will create a dust storm that interferes with breathing and vision. Jalu was still holding on to his still position motionless. The four wind swirls were getting closer. Jalu could only exert his energy to dispel the four tall pillars from the wind while thinking how to dodge the attack while counterattacking.
‘Ah, won't the fire I'm about to unleash be blending together with that whirlwind! Maybe this way can interfere with the concentration of swordsman Eye Wind.’ Inner Jalu. Immediately he created a flame from his hand, then directed a flame that extended like a whip that attacked the Windshield warrior.
As he had expected, the power of the whirlwind from the four directions deflected the flames he had created. The fire melded together with the fire vortex until the four wind whirls turned into fire whirlpools. Jalu had no intention of reducing the intensity of the energy he was expending, instead, he was adding his strength to create more fire. His strategy was successful, the fire heat he created began to interfere with the Wind Eyes swordsman's attacks that had been fixed in the position of his horses to control the four whirlwinds.
The Wind Eye Swordsman suddenly stopped the wind vortex he created and instantly instantly attacked Jalu at high speed. But he postponed it because once the whirlwind he created disappeared, the Fire Jalu created actually led to him. Since then, Jalu deliberately did not change the direction of the fire to keep watch when the wind suddenly disappeared.
Instead, the Wind Eye swordsman had to avoid those flames that led to it. To the Wind Eyes swordsman, the speed of the fire attack from Jalu was not a worrying thing as he could dodge it easily. To him, the flames felt sluggish. Wind Eye Swordsman was forced not to use the technique of controlling the wind because dealing with fire would be very detrimental to him. Instead, he attacked Jalu with a series of punches and high-speed kicks.
Jalu had difficulty dealing with attacks with high speed so that he could not avoid the surprise of the Wind Eyes swordsman. When the swordsman Mata Angin attacked and Jalu defended, from a short distance the swordsman Mata Angin created a whirlwind right from under Jalu's feet so that he was dragged up. The torment not only stopped there, the swordsman caught Jalu from below and landed a crushing blow on Jalu's back, then caught his leg and slammed Jalu down.
The hammer slid down from above and his body led to the arena of the match. He still had the rest of his consciousness back then and as much as he could, he created a ring of fire enveloping his body to dampen the impact.
The sound thudded as the huge fireball containing Jalu landed on the arena floor to create a smoky charred hole. Quickly, Jalu recovered his condition, then he retaliated against the Wind Warrior by creating and directing a fire shaped by hundreds of hot children into space. The Wind Eye Swordsman shook the attack with a sweep of his wind.
There were no spectators close to the arena. From a distance, they were like seeing fireworks exploding in space accompanied by a puff of black smoke. The air is getting hotter. Jalu's energy is now drained. He could not have made an attack by relying on his profound strength to create fire. He prepared to wait for the Wind-Eye warrior to descend from above.
The Wind Eye Swordsman descended slowly. His body seemed to be wet with sweat as it held the heat from Jalu's fire attack.
“Games Done.” Said Ki The Sky Eagle ending the match. He knew Jalu was running out of energy. Wind Eye Swordsmen obviously have more experience competing. Otherwise, he would be depleted by the fire energy thrown by Jalu.
All the spectators applauded and chuckled in admiration for the terrible friendly match. Perhaps Jalu was the only young swordsman who could last a long time facing the Wind Eyes warriors who were included in the top 10 warriors of the upper level in the village of Upper Clouds.
“You are a great young swordsman. Maybe ten more years, I can't match you.” The word of the Wind Eyes swordsman gave spirit to Jalu.
Ki Eagle Sky gives an announcement again.”My brothers and sisters all who are here, the match will be resumed again after lunch. This arena needs to be repaired before it is used again.”
The arena had indeed possessed several black holes after Jalu's fight against the Wind Eye warrior. All the spectators moved. They all need to rest because after all, watching such a match is also draining energy. At least they should take refuge from the loose energy heading towards them.
Jalu, Niken, and Batari Mahadewi walk into the living room Ki Elang Langit. Some of the warriors looked dexterously to immediately fix the hollow stone floor with new pieces of stone. They did not need any special tools, only deep power to slice the rocks into neat pieces.
“How are you doing nak Jalu.” Said Ki The Heavenly Eagle who came to approach the three of them.
“I didn't get any injuries uncle. I was lucky enough in this match.” Answer Jalu.
“Your abilities are amazing. It may not take years for your knowledge to be perfect.” Said Ki Eagle Sky.
“I learned a lot from today's match uncle. Thank you very much for the opportunity given to me.” Said Jalu.
“Eat these fruits. Very good to recover energy after fighting.” Said Ki Eagle Sky while inviting his guests to eat the dishes at the guest table. A while later, Ki Elang Langit went out to coordinate his people who had been busy preparing the arena match.
“Adik Niken seems to have to get ready for a surprise later. It could have been as strong as the swordsman of the Wind Eyes.” Said Jalu. “And I'm really looking forward to tomorrow to see Batari's sister compete with Uncle Eagle Langit.”
Batari just smiled. He had become even more quiet since yesterday afternoon after he had undergone many changes to his abilities as well as changes to some parts of his body. He hides his sadness and silence in silence and silence.
Ki Eagle Sky called back all the villagers of Upper Clouds to re-assemble to watch the next match. The whole community seemed excited. They were also very curious to look forward to the match between Niken and one of the Upper Clouds village warriors after they watched the interesting match between Jalu and the Wind Eyes warriors.
“Alright my brothers and sisters, we will restart the next match. The next two participants were young Pancala warriors from the Eastern Sky and Ajiraga from the Northern Heavens college. Please prepare yourself in the arena of the match.” Said Ki Eagle Sky.
