Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 61 See the Future
Batari Mahadevi and Jalu have entered the holy altar. There are so many heirlooms and ancient books sealed with spells that none of the books stored there can be studied by Batari Mahadevi and Jalu.
“This room is amazing.” Batari Mahadewi said, “Sadly all these books can not be read. These books should keep knowledge from the past.”
“Can sister not unseal it?” Ask Jalu.
“Can't, brother. Even if I could, of course I wouldn't do it.” Answer Batari Mahadevi.
“See there! What is it?” Said Jalu while pointing in one direction.
One of the objects that caught the attention of the two of them inside the altar was the holy well located in the middle of the room. The well is a natural spring water source whose upper surface is built in such a way that it resembles a beautiful pond.
Grandfather Agrapana suddenly appeared from behind them. “The pool is the pool that made this place famous. Its name is the fountain of the World Circle. You can see the future from the surface of that water.” Agrapana.
“Really, grandpa?” Jalu said, he immediately walked towards the spring and looked into it. Only the usual clear water surface was seen by Jalu.
“You can't do it without purifying yourself first. The meditation you are doing outside is just a way for you to enter into this altar. Meanwhile, to see the future from the surface of the pool water, you have to do meditation again. If you're interested, you can do it. However, not many managed to do so. Even if you manage to do meditation, and complete the test in meditation, you are not necessarily able to see the future through the holy pond.” said Agrapana.
“Meditation in this holy altar takes a long time for ordinary warriors. But maybe not for you, miss swordsman.” Agrapana to Batari Mahadevi. ” Alright, I'm going first. You can do it or leave this place if you are in a hurry.” Agrapana then stepped away leaving Jalu and Batari Mahadewi.
“Are we going to do it sister? If so, maybe it's just the sister who did it, I'll wait for the sister out there. Grandfather Agrapana said that ordinary warriors need a long time, while if I have to participate in meditation, our journey will be delayed a long time, said Jalu.
“Only if according to sister is good, then I will do it.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Yes, you can do it. I guess, you will get something precious from this holy altar. I'll look for an inn and wait for you there. Maybe I will also look for news, who knows if anyone had seen Niken across this city.” Said Jalu.
‘Alright then, brother, I will try it. If Grandpa Agrapana says maybe I can do it quickly, maybe grandpa is right. It has capabilities that are far from beyond our expectations.” Batari mahadewi.
“Yes sister, just try it. Then I'll leave you here. I'll find an inn. If you're finished and don't find me in this town, then don't leave this town. That means I'm on a walk in the surrounding area outside this city.” Said Jalu.
“Good sister. I hope Brother Niken is not far from this City.” Batari Mahadewi. Jalu rushed out of the altar, walked past the hermits in the altar courtyard, then he disappeared behind the gate. Batari Mahadevi lived alone in the altar. He sat cross-legged facing the holy pool.

Take a walk around the city again. He had a little difficulty finding a tavern because there were not many restaurants in the city. eventually he found a restaurant in one corner of the city, in the market area. Surprisingly, not many people also shop at the market or eat at the tavern. Only a few people ate in the tavern and all were just people who happened to pass by in the city, just like Jalu.
At the tavern, Jalu saw a pair of warriors who were still his age. The male swordsman looked handsome, and the female swordsman from behind reminded him of Niken's figure. ‘Is that you, Niken..’ Inner Jalu. He was curious and decided to go into the store.

Batari Mahadevi looked around the white room which looked like a world without borders. ‘Is there an edge here?’ Inner Batari mahadevi, ‘What other lessons will come to me this time..’.
Batari Mahadewi closed his eyes again. ‘It's just an illusion..only emptiness...eh...emptiness? Is this emptiness?..I am not sure..it is just empty space..not emptiness...this room is empty, only I have it, this emptiness is in my meditation...ah..
The agrapana is back. But he did not appear, as if he were the wind. Batari Mahadevi easily captures his presence through the sudden radiance of energy present there.
“Kakek Agrapana..I still do not understand, the nature of emptiness.” Answer Batari Mahadevi.
“Just empty. There's nothing to understand. In this emptiness, you can look at yourself, revisit your past, your life, your fears, your accomplishments, your boundaries, and everything about you. So, in this empty space, I will test you as a pedar. Prepare.” Agrapana began to appear as a twin of Batari Mahadevi. It radiates its energy, the same energy as Batari Mahadevi's.
“Good, grandpa, I'll take this exam.” Batari Mahadewi. He then radiated as much energy as he had to the maximum extent.
Batari Mahadevi had never done that because he knew his power would cause destructive explosive power. But in that place, he is free to show all his abilities to the limits.
Batari Mahadewi's body muscles doubled. His veins bulged out and he looked a little horrible. Both his metal palms and feet lit up golden, then his nails slightly elongated like the claws of a bird. The entire body of Batari Mahadewi not only emits a golden light, but also covered by electricity.
Agrapana smiled seeing the change in the shape of Batari Mahadevi's body, then he did the exact same thing as Batari Mahadewi. After a while, the two of them launched attacks at full force. The two fought like lightning striking each other, creating holes with burning marks on the floor of the boundless room.
As Jalu approached the tavern, the Niken-like figure grew more and more similar as he got closer. The heart stopped beating. The figure turned towards Jalu and both eyes looked at Jalu's eyes.
