Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 76 Fire Dragon Demon Scales Shirt
The earth continues to shake. Several fire dragon demons sprang up again, dancing around in the smoke of Mount Arnawama Agni. Those who save themselves show no sign of coming back.
Batari Mahadevi, Niken and Jalu are still there. There was a sense of doubt in the mind of Batari Mahadewi to capture one of the dragon stealth that he saw it. If one is disturbed, the other will not remain silent. It was too dangerous for the three of them.
“It turns out it's not that easy killing a fire dragon demon in this place. Brother Niken and Kak Jalu saw them, didn't you?” ask Batari Mahadevi to his two brothers.
“Ya, sister. I saw him a few times. We don't have to push ourselves and take risks just for the sake of a shirt.” Said Jalu.
“Actually all I worry about is one thing, if the king of the fire dragons on this mountain is disturbed. About the dragon demon that roams around is not too difficult.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Why do those demons not care about us here?” ask Niken curiously. He recalled the event when the three of them were attacked by hundreds of spider demons in the Valley of Death.
“Because they don't prey on humans. They love the offerings that humans bring here and they also live with the fire energy that is in the belly of the mountain.” Batari Mahadewi.
“See the smoke, the dragon demons are no longer visible.” Said Jalu.
“This is our chance. I'll move fast.” Batari Mahadewi. He then walked towards the large rock inside which was a young dragon demon. Batari Mahadevi put both palms on the stone, absorbing the energy stored in it in a rough way so that the dragon demon inside the stone was disturbed, then appeared.
Batari Mahadevi immediately caught the dragon demon and immediately took it flying away from Mount Arnawama Agni. Batari Mahadevi did not want what he did to be known by other dragon demons so that he quickly and without warning left the volcano, Jalu and Niken.
The dragon demon was too weak for Batari Mahadevi. Once both of his arms gripped the dragon's stealth neck, then the creepy creature was no longer wrinkled. Batari Mahadevi took him as far away as possible from Mount Arnawama Agni. He arrived at a deserted river while holding the dragon's body on his shoulders.
The dragon demon was golden orange, hard-skinned yet pliable. In a short time, Batari Mahadevi had killed the dragon demon, took the mustika in his body, and then stored it as a stock if one of his two brothers needed it later.
The dragon skin will not be scratched even if it is cut with a good quality sword. But Batari Mahadevi could easily skin the dragon with her pointed metal nails. After the dragon's skin was released, by itself the dragon's stealth flesh and bones evaporated into the air. Batari Mahadevi rolled up the dragon's skin and as he was about to leave, his two brothers had been seen following him from a distance. Batari Mahadevi sharpened his eyes, making sure that the two brothers were not followed by a demon from Mount Arnawama Agni.
“Adik managed to get it?” jalu asked after he and Niken arrived at the riverbank.
“Yes, Brother Jalu. Let's get this bark under that tree. Let brother Niken freely make a dress size that fits you.” Batari Mahadewi.
The three walked towards the big tree near the river. That place looks lonely. Very rarely do villagers come there. Niken reopened the dragon's stealth bark bundle that was almost the same length as a coconut tree.
“Good skin. It can be used as material for three sets of clothes.” Said Niken.
“This skin is hard. How to cut it?” ask Niken.
“Measure only first. I'll cut it off later. I will also make the thread from the skin.” said Batari Mahadewi. Jalu simply smiled as he looked at his two younger siblings who were busy with the dragon demon skin.
“Kak Jalu, come here.” Said Niken, “I will measure your body.” Niken put the dragon's hide into Jalu's body, and then he made a mark on the parts that had to be cut. Batari Mahadevi cut the skin with his nails. Niken just looked at the shape of her nails and hands that were no longer the same as before. In his heart he was amazed and astonished, but he also felt compassion for his sister who did not like the changes of his body.
After Batari Mahadevi cut the dragon skin according to the sign and direction given by Niken, he then made fine incisions on the remaining dragon skin to be used as yarn. Niken then sewed the dragon skin, inserting fine threads in the small holes in the dragon's stealth skin that had been made by Batari Mahadewi.
While the two were busy making clothes, Jalu had caught some fish in the river. He easily turned the fish into grilled fish without seasoning. A little charred on the skin, but the fish meat was completely cooked perfectly.
“Well, sister's clothes are done. Now wear.” Said Niken.
“Do not peek.” Said Jalu.
Face Niken reddened, “Go there find a place to change clothes!” niken said half-stomping because he was embarrassed by Jalu's words just now.
Jalu went behind a tree, changed his old clothes with new clothes made by his sisters. The size fits and the clothes are comfortable to use moving. Surprisingly, the clothes did not feel hot despite being made from dragon stealth skin. Instead, the skin felt cold like a metal surface.
“How do I look?” ask Jalu.
“Acot very handsome.” Batari said Mahadewi while glancing at Niken who was looking at Jalu like seeing a fresh scenery.
“Now brother try to emit fire energy from all over your body.” Batari Mahadewi. The hammer then radiates its energy in an unusual way. He felt free without fear of his clothes burning. With his new clothes, he could now turn his body completely into fire. His new clothes did not burn at all.
“That's great, Brother Jalu.” Batari Mahadewi. Niken smiled satisfied to see his first love now become much stronger and stronger than before. Although Jalu is a figure that easily makes the girls fascinated, but only a few women can be a companion to his life. A person is just a high-scientific person who both have the character of a fire body, or vice versa, a woman with the character of an ice body.
Jalu realized his condition, and therefore he did not want to be carelessly close to women. Niken has the same problem as Jalu. The ice body character he had was both a blessing and a calamity. Not everyone can be close to Niken. His body always radiated a cold chill even if he did not expend his energy. People without power in height will not be able to last long sitting close to Niken. At the very least, the person will runny nose because it is not strong enough to withstand the cold for too long.
“Well, after we finish this grilled fish, we will continue the journey.” Said Jalu. His two sisters nodded, then the three began to spend some of the remaining grilled fish.
