Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 62 Seals To Five
The woman who looks like Niken is not Niken. There was a bit of disappointment in Jalu's heart. If not for his longing, of course he can very much distinguish where Niken and which is not even though he does not need to use both eyes to recognize Niken. Longing makes him a little stupid and often loses his composure.
Jalu entered the diner, then ordered a portion of food to the waiter who let him in and delivered him to one of the empty tables. While waiting for his order, he daydreamed. Looking blankly at the empty table in front of him.
Jalu remembered the lesson of Agrapana in his meditation. His feather stood up if he remembered his fire sword slashing at the neck of the grandfather who was incarnated in the form of Niken. It felt like he was slashing his own neck. Suddenly, his heart felt very agitated. ‘Is Niken okay? What if he...’ Jalu did not dare to imagine bad things that might happen.
‘What should I say to the teacher if Niken never returns..Furthermore, what should I do? My heart has been completely for Niken..if not for him, ah..’ Jalu's heart is turbulent. He was so shocked when suddenly the waiter delivered his order.
“Goodbye, young master.” The waiter said.
“Thanks, aunty.” Said Jalu.
He felt so careless that he did not realize the presence of the waiter who delivered the food. If a sword were to float towards him, then he would not have time to taste the food order. He immediately devoured his food without realizing that a pair of warriors in the tavern were watching him closely.

Batari Mahadevi continued to attack the grandfather of Agrapana with full force. The old grandfather who was incarnated as himself seemed unmoved by his attacks, and as if he showed no signs that he was running out of energy.
Batari did not hesitate to use his full strength because he knew, the grandfather would not be killed in his meditation. Several times Batari Mahadevi uses the style of Lightning Tread and Sun Blow, two legendary moves that he has never used so far. He himself was shocked by the destructive power of the movement and half his energy had been drained from using the top moves of the Sun Science and the Book of Sky Science.
Batari Mahadewi's trembling body endured the ill effects of the moves he used himself. His energy was not high enough to withstand the devastating effects of the legendary moves. So, he undoes his intention to try the ultimate course of the Science of Raga Splitting the Earth.
Grandfather Agrapana did not look tired in the slightest, as if his energy had never run out. “Come Batari Mahadewi. Don't limit yourself to doubt. Don't let your mind control your body too much. Let your body use its instincts to fight. Use that style you never used!” agrapana.
‘How can this grandfather know all my styles, even those I have not used.he can imitate my style and use it easily.’ Batari Mahadewi.
“I know all your moves. Don't hesitate.” Agrapana.
‘This grandfather can also read my mind..’ Batari Mahadewi.
Agrapana just smiled. He knew all the things that were in the mind of Batari Mahadevi. The more the magical girl thought, the more that Agrapana's grandfather knew.
“I tell you one thing, if you want to beat me, stop thinking. Use body. Just your body.” Agrapana.
Batari Mahadevi still could not let go of her mind. But he was not discouraged. He decided to try a style that he had never tried, Raga style Split the Earth. Batari Mahadevi stretched her arms up, drawing all the energy from her surroundings as much and as fast as she could.
Batari Mahadewi's body remained motionless. His energy radiance dissipated and his body shape returned to its original size. He was unconscious. But in that unconsciousness, his body absorbed the surrounding energy much faster and stronger than before. In fact, Agrapana's energy is absorbed. The old man walked away and looked at things he had never seen before. The vast white space slowly narrowed and revealed the boundary, as if the energy that created the room was sucked into the body of Batari Mahadevi.
The golden-colored energy ball enveloped Batari Mahadewi's body which was still unconscious. Agrapana's grandfather left Batari Mahadewi there alone until the little girl's body was finished recuperating.
For one full day Batari Mahadewi was unconscious. The golden veil that enveloped his body had disappeared. Batari Mahadevi opened her eyes. He looked around, looking for the whereabouts of Agrapana's grandfather. But there's no one there. Even the grandfather's energy he did not feel existed.
Batari Mahadevi tried to remember everything he had experienced. Raga's Split Earth moves made him lose energy and he also had to withstand the same moves thrown by Agrapana's grandfather.
Batari Mahadevi had not yet realized that his arms had now turned into golden-colored metal. When he examined his body to see what wounds he had sustained, he was astonished to see his golden-metal arm. He was also shocked to learn that there were no injuries on his body, in fact he felt that his body felt much stronger than before.
A moment later, Agrapana's grandfather appeared in his original form. “You're awake, little lady. Now you're much stronger than before. Maybe I know some things about you.” Agrapana.
“I don't understand, grandfather, why did my hand turn out like this?!” Batari Mahadewi.
“In your body there are 12 seals that lock all your abilities and all your energy. Right now you have managed to unseal the 5 seals in your body and with the opening of this fifth seal, then your body undergoes a change. Not only that, now you have 14 senses in your body. If you don't understand why you can read many types of characters before, and understand many languages, that's because one of the reasons you have more than 10 senses.” Agrapana.
Batari Mahadevi was only silent to the old grandfather's explanation because he did not understand the strangeness in his body.
Agrapana continued, “You also have hearing, vision, and are able to feel things outside of you much sharper and more sensitive than anyone else right now. Maybe you're the only one who has 14 senses in your body. It's just that I don't know who sealed your power and how you got all this. It is possible that every time you do something that allows you to exceed your limits, then the energy seal in your body will open by itself.”
Agrapana was silent for a moment, then he continued his explanation. “You can unseal you by absorbing a lot of energy. Maybe that's the only way. When you are unconscious, your body itself absorbs energy. One thing I've concluded, to unlock each of the next seals, you need a lot more energy than you have right now. At least, right now, your consciousness, your mind, will be a hindrance to your achievements.”
“I'm starting to understand now grandpa. But there is one thing that is still a problem. Why does my body have to change like this?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“As far as I know, you will definitely experience a change. As to why your hands are gold metal, I don't understand. But actually it's not just that. Look at your body now, your body size has become much larger and taller than before. It's awesome, I've never seen a human who thrives like you.” Answer Grandpa Agrapana.
Batari Mahadewi again observed the changes in his body. Grandpa was right, he felt taller and bigger. Batari Mahadevi also did not think that he had 14 senses on his body and there were 12 seals that he had to open to improve his abilities
“Now, all you have to experience again is find a way to defeat me. You have to find it yourself. I told you before, don't use your mind to attack me.” Agrapana.
Batari Mahadewi was silent for a moment, then he smiled. “Good grandfather, it looks like I know how to beat you.”
