Dragon Star Dahanapura

Episode 24 The Core Power of Fire

It has been 3 days and three nights, Gentala is still late in his meditation. The pulse in his body was now filled with fire energy which was filtered by the fire diagram on the star medallion. Rajah written by Ki Bajra, is an ancient ancestor.

From the outside, it does not seem that strange things happened to Gentala's body during the mediation. However, if seen after 3 days the fire energy began to enter the small veins of Gentala. The heat and burning he felt in his body. If only he had not done the topo before, surely his body would have been burned from within.

Luckily, Gentala has done tapa kungkum before, so that the pulse in his body can store the cold from the source water. He only realized the benefits of the ritual that was done before.

The heat in Gentala's body gradually disappeared along with the fulfillment of all the pulses with fire energy. It was then that he opened his eyes and felt an overflowing energy from within his body. His stomach was now whining to be filled, for he had not eaten for three days.

When he opened his eyes, he found Ki Bajra was chatting with Bongol, his favorite horse. He forgot the last time he gave him a meal. But, it seems that Bonggol who had been familiar with his teacher, now slightly forgot about it.

“You are done mediocre apparently, faster than I imagined”, said Ki Bajra.

Ki Bajra then told Gentala to come closer and then he checked Gentala's wrist. While stroking his thin beard, he closed his eyes, he was shocked to feel the level of energy within the young man. Although he was still not as big as himself, but he remembered very well that when he was leaving Gentala, his inner strength was only up to the ground level.

After doing one week of training coupled with a three-day period, Gentala has arrived at a mortal level. Ki Bajra could not imagine what level would be exceeded by Gentala, given his age is still very young. Ki Bajra himself to penetrate at the mortal level, after doing tapa brata for 41 days.

“I will teach you a style based on the power of api”, Ki Bajra said.

Ki Bajra took his place somewhat to the edge, and did some moves. His legs were opened slightly, squatting with his back straight. Both hands clenched to the right and left. Seen from the side, his mouth was struggling to cast a spell.

Sun matek aji melting seketi

Ingsun megrang breath ghoib

Neges jatining flavor

Earth jugrug segoro asat

Smoke billowed from his right fist, with a powerful bang, Ki Bajra struck the empty air in front of him.

Dhuummm..... ! ! !

The hot energy coming out from his right hand fist produced a red color that shot forward. The trees in front of Ki Bajra were destroyed, leaving scars like burning. I don't know how many trees were uprooted, which clearly smashed the trees as far as 20 spears.

Gentala was astonished to see that fact, he did not expect his Master to keep a terrible study. He did not know whether he could inherit the knowledge or not. Because the power level is still low.

“This move is named Ajian Melting Seketi, you can use it when your inner energy reaches the earth level,” Ki Bajra explained to Gentala.

Ki Bajra then taught the mantra and movement of Ajian Melting Seketi to Gentala. This Ajian requires a great deal of energy to do so, at least energy at the earth level. If the person with the power within below that level is certain, his pulse will be destroyed and his whole body will be paralyzed.

For now, Gentala only memorized the movements and also the incantation mantra. Ki Bajra did not allow him to do so earnestly as it could be fatal.

“Train your swordsmanship”, said Ki Bajra giving directions. Because he knew soon his younger brother-in-law would come and train the Gentala swordsmanship.

Gentala then took the sword that had been refined by Ki Bajra and his younger brother. The sword is now becoming heavier, as heavy as a goat. It takes practice to adjust the weight with the energy to be expended.

The movements made by Gentala became very slow because it was burdened by the weight of the sword. Repeatedly he was forced to stop his movements and take a breath. The sword really exhausted him.

Seeing that Ki Bajra then took a sword in the hands of Gentala, then played one or two moves. The game shown by Ki Bajra is very beautiful, smooth as without energy. Then he slashed the sword to a rock the size of a buffalo beside the cave.

The stone was not broken, but split in two. A very fine cut, like a sharp knife cutting a banana. Again Gentala was amazed and stunned by the science of his teacher. He approached his teacher, and could not wait to be taught the sword technique he had just seen.

“Teacher, teach me the swordsmanship that teacher just did”, pinta Gentala to Ki Bajra.

“There will be someone who teaches you sword techniques, and it is very much in accordance with your previous swordsmanship”, replied Ki Bajra.

“True ?”, asked Gentala as if in disbelief.

Ki Bajra then told Gentala to strengthen his physique first. At first he had to go up and down the cliff, to train the muscles of the hands and feet. The exercise he went through dozens of times, until finally formed a climbing path that is easy to pass.

It did not stop there, the stone that was once split by Ki Bajra, on the other side into small pieces. Some are the size of coconuts to the largest half the size of a buffalo.

After smoothly up and down without burden, now Gentala up and down the cliff by carrying two rocks the size of a coconut so on until he was finally able to lift a stone with the size of half a buffalo. Does not feel half full moon he went to do physical exercise.

He was standing under the sun and both of his hands raised a large stone. Although he had been able to lift it, but such exercises he still did to train his muscles.15 days had passed and now he was preparing to do sword training again.

Gentala started to move the black sword, which used to feel heavy, but now he could move smoothly. His movements had been agile back as usual, even his sword swing was getting more powerful.

“Nak mas, try to slash the stone”, suddenly a figure of sepuh came and gave orders to Gentala. The figure is Empu Prahasta the younger brother of Ki Bajra Geni and also includes Gentala's distant grandfather.

Dhuummm !!!....

The stone was not split into two, but rather shattered into pieces. It seems that the power control in Gentala is not perfect yet. So that the impact caused also becomes a mess.

“Your performance is quite big, but you can't control it” yet, said Prahasta correcting what Gentala did. Ki Bajra appeared later and introduced Prahasta to Gentala.

“He is your grandfather, Precaste his name. He is the owner and maker of the black sword in your hand it”, said Ki Bajra.

Gentala then approached Prahasta, he could pay his respects before he finally embraced his grandfather. His heart was happy to meet his ancestors.

“I will teach you the star sword technique, the legacy of Eyang Kamajaya”, said Prahasta.

The Precaste explains that this technique consists of levels, and that being practiced by Gentala is the first level, the Sky-Welcoming Star Sword. The Precaste saw that there were still flaws in the first sword technique. This technique needs to be perfected first.

Then Prahasta demonstrated the Star Sword Technique so beautifully, the slashing, piercing and convoluted movements were done lightly, as if without energy. Then on the slash it is combined with the energy in the Precaste and directed to the large stone used by the Gentala.

The energy coming out of the black sword was a golden yellow ray, and formed a non-zig zag slash.

Slash... slash... ! ! !

The huge stone was now split into small pieces and neat, truly great sword techniques.

“Power the first level first, then I will teach the second and third levels of the star” sword technique, said Prahasta ended Gentala training this time.

Then Prahasta told Gentala to rest, because tomorrow he will train him hard.
