THE SUN GOD SWORD
End of Ritual
Sungsang Geni returns to the Lake of Life, inside a stone house composed of large, slippery blocks of stone.
The young man realized that maybe the pain he would experience would be immeasurable, he even had goosebumps just imagining it.
Yet there is no other way, no other place and no other time, Sungsang Geni must return to the outside world with greater power.
When right in front of the lake, vines like carnivorous plants begin to open their mouths. The lid of a small bottle given by the Nurmanat healer opens itself, then the potion inside the bottle is sucked into the mouth of the plant. The herb was like honey, bright yellow in color and looked viscous.
"Are you ready, Geni?" Pramudhita helps Sungsang Geni remove all his clothes.
To be honest Pramudhita was not so sure of Sungsang Geni's decision. There has never been a man as crazy as himself to perform a ritual at once that even for ordinary people requires 200 times the ritual.
"I'm ready anytime, Uncle!" Sungsang Geni steadied his resolve.
Sungsang Geni went into the lake, this feeling he had already felt, so it was not too surprised when the vine roots wrapped around his entire body. The young man was just resigned, he looked up, at the shadow of Pramudhita who bowed to look at him.
But slowly, their shadows began to disappear, changing the light of the lake that shone brightly. And at the same time, he felt every vein in his body being connected with a sharp thorny root that was then slowly uprooted.
Sungsang Geni shouted, screamed and thrashed in pain. As it turns out, the pain is worse than ever. But of course, there was no way to return, Sungsang Geni would not be released by the tendril root before the entire energy scattered throughout the lake entered completely.
Meanwhile at the same time, the Irpanusa Rishis even assisted with Pramudhita trying to enter all that energy.
"This is a really big deal!" Pramudhita. "Even the two of us have trouble performing this ritual."
So strong the energy radiated from the well water even started to come out of the stone house, and this was not very good. If that energy cannot enter the body of Sungsang Geni completely, then it will only be wasted.
Seeing the incandescent light coming out from inside the stone house, the Nurmat Physician rushed to help along with Sikembar.
After fighting hard enough they finally managed to suppress that white energy, and together condensed back into the lake of life.
"Fight harder!" Irpanusa's rishi gave instructions.
Long enough, maybe 3 hours or maybe 4 hours long, the five of them could finally complete the ritual despite having to drain a lot of energy in.
"He will be in pain for 3 days!" pramudhita said, looking at the floundering Sungsang Geni in the well, "Even for 10 hours, I won't be able to do it."
Nurimat Physician had no intention of glancing into the well, he was already quite confident with his own shadow, so the old woman simply closed her eyes while wishing that Sungsang Geni could go through all of this.
For 1 hour the five of them were still in that place, watching the state of Sungsang Geni from above the lake surface. The lake water has always rippled small, because the emergence of a wind bubble right in the middle.
But in the end they left Sungsang Geni alone. Before Pramudhita stepped out from inside the stone house, Commander Ireng growled a little against him.
"You want to take care of her?" ask Pramudhita.
"The.gerr..." The wolf stared into the stone house, with a faint look.
"Please! Looks like you found a precious friend this time!" Pramudhita stroked the Wolf's forehead a moment later it soon passed.
After three days and three nights, Commander Ireng roared loudly. The voice of the huge black wolf, was heard on each side of the Shadow Sword Sect. Makes everyone astonished, because it is not usually the wolf roars in Padepokan.
The Irpanusa Rishis with Pramudhita and several others rushed to the lake of life. They are quite sure, that the sound of the auaman Commander Ireng is a sign that the Sungsang Geni ritual has ended.
Upon arrival at the stone house Prmudhita and the others, meet Sungsang Geni already on the edge of the lake lips.
"Did you pull it out?" pramudhita asked, again stroking Commander Ireng's forehead, "Good work, you're really a good friend."
Pramudhita then wore Sungsang Geni clothes, of course the young man was now unconscious. But after feeling Sungsang Geni's heart beating strongly, Pramudhita gave a small smile.
"You're back, young man!"
Sungsang Geni was finally brought to the house of the Irpanusa Rishis, placed on a bed where everyone who came to visit him had to alternate, because the room was not too wide.
Everyone looked extremely curious about the young man who was capable of such a heavy ritual. Actually the news about the ritual performed Sungsang Geni has become a byword among warriors.
Some people insulted Sungsang Geni as crazy and reckless, but of course there were more people who praised the crazy determination of the young man.
"How long do you think he'll be awake, Resi?" Pramudhita asked the Irpanusa Rishis.
Resi Irpanusa smiled slightly, "He was conscious from earlier, now that the young man is asleep, don't be bothered let him rest!"
Pramudhita who heard it while drinking a glass of water, suddenly surprised to make the water in the cup spill and hit the face Sungsang Geni. Has he regained consciousness from earlier? Pramudhita thought it would take weeks for Sungsang Geni to regain consciousness.
"Is it raining?"
"Genie?"
"Why is there water, is it raining?" asked Sungsang Geni, wiping the water spilled on his face, after finding the water cup held by Pramudhita, Sungsang Geni let out a heavy sigh. "Uncle? Can't you let myself rest a little longer?"
"O'.ini, I accidentally spilled it on your face...Forget that! It doesn't matter if I spill water or not, but now I'm so happy to see you back with a different face."
Sungsang Geni just smiled, then looked at one by one the people who were surrounding him, it turned out to be very much.
"How are you feeling now, Geni?" a hoarse voice rang out, it was the Voice of the Irpanusa Rishis who was sitting cross-legged behind Sungsang Geni.
"Resi, I'm sorry to turn your back on you." Sungsang Geni immediately bowed in respect. "My feelings are so good, even better than I've ever felt. Thanks for the help!"
"Now our work is done, Geni." The Irpanusa Sissi patted Sungsang Geni on the shoulder, "But your task has just begun, whether you can fulfill your destiny or not, it is in your own hands."
"Resi, can I call you a teacher?"
The Irpanusa sage chuckled, "Everyone who gives us a lesson is a teacher, even if it is a child."
