Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 42 Final and Surprise Fight
After the match, all residents returned to their respective places with curiosity who will be the champion tomorrow as a young swordsman with a title in the village of Atas Awan. The day passed quickly. Day has turned into evening.
Batari Mahadevi, Niken and Jalu had a light conversation after eating dinner with Ki Elang Langit. But after that dinner, Ki Elang Langit left them because of business.
“Are you sure you can beat Ki Eagle Sky in the game tomorrow?” ask Jalu to Batari Mahadewi.
“To be honest I was confused, had to give up or how.” Batari Mahadevi's words sounded like a joke, but he was never wrong with his words. Jalu and Niken are still not aware of the big development of his younger brother.
“In my opinion, sister should be honest in the match. If you can win, then don't give up. If sister relents, maybe it could hurt the feelings of the people here.” Jalu said.
“There is a big risk if I put everything I can do to match my uncle the Sky Eagle.Our match is not entertainment.but it is a very dangerous thing. Hopefully the people watching will stay away.” Batari Mahadewi. He was about to tell about various changes in his body ranging from his strange nails to the scales on both legs so that since the change he wore strange clothes, but he undoed his intentions.
“Kak Jalu, don't you start thinking about having special clothes?” ask Batari Mahadevi to Jalu.
“Meaning sister?” Ask Jalu.
“Clothes that cannot burn fire. I'm sure your fire body will be perfect soon. If that happens, then the body of Kak Jalu will not only emit heat, but every pore of the skin will emit fire. If that happens, I'm afraid that big brother will always be completely naked after a fight. Brother Niken and I would definitely be embarrassed to see you with such a situation.” Batari Mahadewi joked in a serious tone.
“Hahahaha..it must be embarrassing.” Said Niken while laughing out loud.
“Hmm...What clothes can I wear?” ask Jalu.
“Metal. There's no other choice. Unless you can control that fire energy of yours so it doesn't come out through your skin pores. Then your clothes will only be slightly charred and smell of smoke. That's also if you wear clothes with leather. What a pesky whoever will be your wife must often sew clothes for you.” Again Batari Mahadevi said it without guilt.
Niken was still laughing amusedly imagining the no-no. His cheeks were red and he was ashamed of what was in his head at the time. But he had a brilliant idea. “I think, we need to hunt fire dragon stealth to make special clothes for Kak Jalu. We'll take the skin because the stealth skin is fireproof.”
“Yes, Brother Niken is right. It may not only be fire-resistant, but it is also immune to high-powered weapons and attacks. If only to withstand the fire, it might not have to look for the fire dragon demon. We can use other stealth skins that are more than 500 years old. Demon Ducks might be interesting. Kak Jalu so have hairy clothes.” Batari Mahadewi. “Sekalgus to be a Fire Duck swordsman.” This time Batari mahadevi could not help but laugh. He laughed off. It has been a long time since he laughed. Some of the burden of his mind suddenly disappeared and he found peace.
Jalu could not reply to the jokes and taunts of Batari Mahadevi and Niken that time. He could only laugh at himself while scratching his head. Late at night, the three of them went to their rooms.
The next day, the courtyard of Ki Elang Langit's house had been crowded by the villagers of Upper Clouds who wanted to watch the final match of the sky college's young swordsman competition. They did not know that at the end of the final session, Ki Elang Langit will compete with Batari Mahadewi.
As before, Ki Elang Langit opened the event and delivered several announcements related to the final match. Then he called Adrini and Pancala to enter the arena of the match. The two met face to face with greetings, then prepared to put up the horses.
Adrini did not want to take the risk to fight at close range with Pancala after knowing the ability Pancala let out a whirlwind through his mouth. He also did not want if Pancala approached and attacked him first. Instead, it uses wind treads from afar.
That move relied on great energy to create and change the wind around his opponent as a streak of punch. Unseen but painful. Several times Pancala was hit by the blow, but he responded to the attack with the style of Stork Penetrating the Sky. The move does not rely on the strength of the wind, on the contrary, it is one of the moves that can counteract the power of the wind.
Pancala attacked Adrini with a series of beautiful movements and quickly penetrated every air blow created Adrini. Pancala slowly began to approach Adrini and still continue the series of attacks. Adrini had no choice but to fight at close range. He used the style Wind Shake Rain to ward off Pancala attacks. The two exchanged hundreds of moves in quite a long time.
The two warriors had yet to show any sign of who was superior. The audience could not blink watching the beautiful fight, as if the two were performing dangerous martial arts attractions.
Unfortunately, the energy capacity of Pancala is greater than Adrini. Since then Pancala deliberately wanted to drain Adrini without making Adrini realize that physical movements in such a fight also drain energy. In that case, Pancala had managed to bring Adrini on his no-tik fight. Pancala knew that Adrini had predicted the danger of his whirlwind breathing. He deliberately seems not to bring out that style as the ultimate.
But when Adrini's energy has been thinned, Pancala can use the nurse without a meaningful fight. In close range, as Adrini launched a blow and kick attack, Pancala got a gap to wrap Adrini with a whirlwind from his mouth. Adrini fared the same as Andaru, her body slammed several times until she gave up.
Pancala came out as champion. Ki Eagle Sky made his next announcement. “My brothers and sisters, now the village of Upper Clouds has one talented young swordsman who deserves the title as the swordsman of Heaven's Breath. This title I give for his success in winning this final match, as well as his efforts to create one of the moves that surprised us all at once this style also enriches us to develop ourselves.”
“The path of the swordsman is a path that we never run out of. We cannot be content with what we have achieved. Surprises always wait for us in front. And today I will prove it. As a closing match, today I will compete with our special guest, a swordsman from Padepokan Cemara Seribu, Miss Batari Mahadewi.” Said Ki Eagle Sky. His words that make a scene Top Clouds villagers.
The whole audience was shocked in disbelief. First because they will watch the elder, one of the legendary warriors in the martial world, will fight. Second, her opponent was a little girl. It seemed silly, but they thought again, there was no way the legend would fight against ordinary warriors. But they still can not believe if Batari Mahadevi has the devotion that deserves to be juxtaposed with Ki Eagle Sky.
Certainly, fighting with Ki the Heavenly Eagle was an honor. None of the citizens present there had ever competed with Ki Eagle Sky and there were only four people who for life had ever witnessed Ki Eagle Sky fight with his great moves.
‘Who is that little girl? Is this a joke? How can...’the audience starts chattering. Batari Mahadevi ascended to the arena. Ki Eagle Sky made one more announcement. “Please for my brothers and sisters to take some distance when we will have a friendly match.” Some onlookers obeyed Ki Elang Langit, some others were still holding on because they would never have expected that danger was before their eyes.
