Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 59 Rescue Niken
Niken continued his journey. He does not want to delay too long and does not want to be left too far. There is still hope to meet with Jalu and Batari Mahadewi. He bounces like a grasshopper who is agilely moving from one branch of a tree to another. He was unaware, the pair of eyes that had been scouting him since his fight with the Blood River swordsman had now quietly followed him. However, gradually he could feel the energy vibration that was catching up to him from behind.
Niken stopped his journey. He stood still while sharpening his senses, trying to catch the movements that followed him. ‘His mood is quite high, at least he can disguise his energy radiance. Since when did he follow me?’ Batin Niken's. After Niken stopped, the energy radiance also disappeared. This made Niken more alert.
‘If he intends to challenge me, he should have met me by this time. But he just hid and followed me from far away. Hmm...preferably I just continue this journey.’ Batin Niken's. He then bounces back from tree to tree at a speed higher than before. He did not care if the radiance of his energy would invite the wandering swordsmen in the region to come and challenge him.
Niken not only felt the vibrations of energy that followed him from behind. Now he felt a pair of energies fighting not far from the direction he was heading. Niken reduces his energy, hides as much as he does, and then he gets closer to the fight. He wanted to know who was fighting.
Niken was silent and disguised himself among the lush leaves of the trees not far from the fight. While he was stalking the fight, Niken still put up a high alert considering he was still followed by a figure who did not want to appear.
Niken was a little surprised because the figure fighting in front of him was a swordsman with a stance and energy radiance similar to that of a Blood River swordsman. The difference was, the swordsman had transformed into a black dragon that attacked a white stream swordsman who already looked overwhelmed as his body had withstood many poison attacks.
Niken intended to help the swordsman, but he abandoned his intentions. He remembered that such a fight should not be interrupted. Two warriors who were dueling in the middle of the forest should indeed be maintaining their pride. If he dies, he dies in an honorable manner, and he has realized it while he challenges or accepts his opponent's challenge.
After a while, the white swordsman had died horribly. The swordsman who changed his form into a black dragon ruthlessly wrapped around his opponent's body and bit his neck. After his opponent died, he slowly transformed himself into his original form. That face is no stranger to Niken. The same face figure as the Blood River warrior.
‘Didn't I have killed him? How did he get here and why did he turn into a black dragon?’ Batin Niken's. He still did not realize that the figure in front of him was a different swordsman to the one he had just defeated.
Unfinished with his daydream, the swordsman who resembled the Blood River had captured his presence and called out to him loudly.
“Whoever hides in a tree, come out! If you want to challenge me, then come here. If not then you should explain to me, why are you peeking at my fight!?”
Niken inevitably had to get out of hiding. He was somewhat sorry for not choosing to avoid that fight. His energy had not recovered enough since he used the Dream Introductory Singing style and traveled at high speed. If he had to fight, maybe the situation was not too good even though his opponent had also just put a lot of energy into killing his opponent.
“I'm sorry, I accidentally walked through here and watched your fight. But honestly I'm on my way and don't want to fight.” Said Niken.
Suddenly, the figure that followed him appeared. Niken grew shocked because the figure had the same face as the swordsman who had just won the fight, only that the figure was not a woman, but a man.
“Adik Sungai Hitam, this swordsman has just finished off his sister Sungai Merah.” Said the male warrior.
“What, is it really the brother of the Orange River?” Ask the Black River to the Orange River.
“I'm sorry, sir and miss swordsman. I have to accept your college sister's challenge. I hope there is no grudge with that event.” Said Niken who was trying to find a way out so that he escaped the problem. After all, he did not have enough energy to deal with the two warriors who possessed the stealth. If one Blood River warrior alone had made it a hassle, then the two black flow warriors in front of him would definitely be able to pulverize it easily.
“We don't blame the swordsman for defeating our sister. But, with respect, we also reserve the right to sue.” The word of the swordsman of the Orange River.
“I will accept if master and miss swordsman challenge me to fight as a swordsman. One on one.” Niken is still trying to negotiate.
“Unfortunately, although we know ethics, but we are also black swordsmen, who do not care ethics if this fight has something to do with the death of our sister.” Answer the Black River swordsman. His tone was much more ominous than that of the swordsman of the Orange River. He was obviously very angry at the death of his sister.
“Well if so. What can I do, I will meet the challenge of master and miss swordsman.” Reply Niken. He wasn't sure if he could win that fight. He could not have used the skill he had learned from the warrior Verse of Death because he did not have sufficient energy at the time. At least, the fight was far from the river, so there was still a bit of hope for Niken.
Niken mounted the horses and exerted his energy to create ice crystals surrounding his body. He preferred to strengthen his defenses and carry out attacks at the most appropriate time.
“Adik Sungai Hitam, use all your abilities.” The word Orange River warns because he already knows the dangerous style that Niken has.
The two black stream warriors turned their forms into black dragons and orange dragons. The swordsman's second burst of energy made cold sweat drip from Niken's head. ‘If only there were Kak Jalu and Adik Batari here..” Batin Niken. He could only resign if he was to be killed that day.
The two warriors who had transformed into dragons attacked Niken along with a burst of deadly poison. Niken continued to dodge and fend off the attack with his ice shield. However, Niken was quite troubled when the pair of dragons attacked him from different directions.
In the end, Niken could not keep up with the speed of his two attacking lawyers with a very impressive attack formation. Niken bounced away and his body hit a big tree. His energy flow dissipated and he slowly became unconscious.
“We just finish the woman.” said Swordsman Sungai Hitam. He then prepared to attack the fainted Niken. Unbeknownst to him, another warrior from the white stream came darting and carried Niken away at lightning speed. While carrying Niken, he darted to the horizon and left the Black River and Orange River swordsman who looked irritated because he had lost sight of the presence of the swordsman who took Niken away.
“How about we go after that pedar, brother?” ask the Black River swordsman.
“Don't sister, the knowledge is too high for both of us. We'd better delay it and report this event to guru.” The word of the swordsman of the Orange River.
The warrior who saved Niken reached the shore of the lake. He immediately recovered Niken's consciousness and tried to treat the poison that had hit his body. Slowly Niken woke up. He opened his eyes and saw a handsome man in front of him. “Thank you mr. pende Niken did not have time to express his gratitude, the handsome swordsman told Niken to be quiet so that the poison in his body does not spread.
