KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Lightning Finger

That morning, Gentayu felt that his body had returned refreshed and could move.

Her fingers clenched and opened, it worked!. Then he lifted his right and left arms in turn, successfully!. Even before, his fingers could not be moved at all. Then he tried to get up from the bed made of haystacks on top of the rock. This time, he managed to sit down. His head was no longer even feeling dizzy and tightness in his chest was no longer felt.

‘It seems, the treatment given by Grandpa Marobahan was successful. But, wait.’ Gentayu stood up.

Moved his feet. Then he tried to step out into the mouth of the cave which was right facing the direction of the rising sun. Fresh air that had not felt for a long time can now be inhaled again. There was a feeling of peace in his heart as he breathed in the fresh air that morning.

Gantayu stood under the light of the morning Mentari. Enjoy the skin that absorbs its warmth. Letting his body absorb the morning sun energy that he had not felt for a long time.

After some time passed, Gentayu wanted to try to drain the inner power in his body. There was a strange feeling as he channeled warm energy into his palm. Gentayu felt, as if this energy did not belong to him as he had all this time felt.

“That black energy is very strong, it almost took your life.” heard Grandpa Marobahan's soft voice behind him.

The grandfather patted his shoulder slowly. “You were awarded a strange ability. Two opposing forces can be at the same time in your body. I myself was confused when I found out that your inner turmoil was caused by the flow of two opposing energies, and could suddenly complement each other. Support each other. In other people, of course, it will damage the nerves and destroy cells in his body. It seems that if my guess is correct, after recovering later your strength will far exceed your strength when last faced with your enemy who led you to end up in this place. For that, I suggest you make your recovery here before continuing your journey. This place is very good for you to train your strength. I can give you a little advice, if you want to take it.” Grandfather Marobahan explained Gentayu's current condition.

His offer to Gentayu, of course because this grandfather realized one thing in Gentayu, namely Gentayu is a good person and should be helped. While under the care of Marobahan's grandfather, Gentayu and Grandpa Marobahan often engaged in conversation even though not too much. From these short conversations, Grandpa Marobahan can conclude that there is kindness and sincerity in Gentayu.

“Alright, grandpa. I don't think there's any harm in me going on after recuperating. Thank you for taking care of me.” Gentayu lowered his head in salute to the old man.

Actually his heart was quite worried about his sword as well as the message he received from the late elder Shou. Even if the sword is the heirloom of his teacher, Gentayu is quite calm because there will be no one else who can use the sword but him. The sword can only be used optimally by Gentayu only. Swordsman with a level lower than him would not even be able to just carry it. As for the magic swordsman, the longer the sword is outside the sheath, then the sword will continue to suck its energy. That is because the sword of Satam is indeed a type of sword that is loyal to its master. In addition, in order to resume the journey towards the Red Dragon Sect, Gentayu felt the need to prepare himself first after being severely injured and barely losing his life before the Demonic Coral.

So for the next three days, Gentayu was actively training under Grandpa Marobahan. The sepuh swordsman was quite enthusiastic to help the recovery of Gentayu's strength. Even during those three days, the Lightning Finger Swordsman taught many of his ultimate moves to Gentayu. It seems that the old swordsman was so interested after recognizing the personality of Gentayu who was even willing to bet his life to help others. Especially when knowing that Gentayu is a unique background and also has a talent that is not owned by many others, especially in terms of intelligence and genius. In the view of Grandfather Marobahan, Gentayu is a figure who will probably be at the top of the martial world in time and will bring a lot of change and good for the world in the future. For this reason he thinks that at the end of his age, he wants to contribute to the maximum help this young man.

Until the third day, Gentayu felt that the preparation was adequate. He also intends to say goodbye to grandfather Marobahan or Miss Han to continue his mission to the Red Dragon sect.

"Gentayu. I was thinking of making you my student. But after I saw for myself your abilities and magic, plus the unique condition of your body that could store two opposite types of energy, it felt like I would instead embarrass myself. I'm proud to have known you. I'm sure, one day, you'll bring a big change to this ever-turning world. I hope, when you top the martial world, I'm still breathing to see you.." Miss Han or Grandpa Marobahan smiled gently. Then he pulled something out from behind his dreadlocked hair because he rarely took a bath and almost never cleaned it.

"This.. Maybe I can only help you a little to ease your journey with this. Accept it.." Swordsman sepuh it turns out to take out two objects shaped like a sword in a very small size.

"this is usually called kerambit. Small weapons commonly used as secret weapons as well as close combat weapons. What I give you is just the shape that looks like a kerambit. But this is not actually kerambit. This weapon I got from my teacher's grandfather. Actually this was a kind of almighty lightning energy seal compressed in a kerambit-like shape. Use it like this.." Miss Han the lightning finger swordsman ended his explanation by jumping high into the air, then threw one of the weapons towards the cliff, and..

'Tratak!! trataks..! trataks..!

DHUAR..!!!'S....!!!'

A large flash of lightning was seen striking from the weapon lining the rock cliffs in the gorge..

'Protak..! Grotak..! Grotak...! BOOM!!

The sound of collapsing rocks rang out in the ravine and one part of the cliff collapsed immediately followed by the ground shaking like a powerful earthquake. Dust flew from the former cliff ruins, causing a thick sheath that blocked the view for a while.

Gentayu who witnessed the incident to jump because surprised by the thunderous sound followed by the collapse of the cliff rock. It turned out to be such a powerful weapon that looked simple.

"Note again, Gentayu.." Ms. Han who had returned to land and was near Gentayu did not seem to be finished with her explanation "When to call for lightning, look at this!"

This time, the old grandfather no longer leaped, but rather simply brandished one of the other weapons into the air. The clouds darkened instantly and...

'DHILAR!!'

A giant lightning bolt formed in a matter of blinking eyes among the blackened clouds, and it was as if it was connected to the weapon in the hands of Grandfather Marobahan through a light as thin as a thread. The lightning struck in the direction that the weapon pointed at, another blast of fierce lightning was heard once again shattering the rocks that had collapsed to the bottom of the abyss into dust, and some become hot incandescent stones.

"These two weapons, named 'Karambuik Halilintar'. Now, I'm handing it to you. Didn't you lose your sword?" marobahan's grandfather handed over the pair of weapons to Gentayu. Gentayu immediately knelt down as he received the two weapons and received them with both hands open above his head.

"Murid accepts it, teacher. Thank you for all the good graces of the teacher" Gentayu called this swordsman grandfather as a teacher because for him, everyone who teaches him any knowledge is his teacher, it doesn't matter if there's a teacher or a student bond.

"Haha... I told you that your talent is too high to be a disciple of this old man.. Haha... But it's nothing. I have also dropped some of my ultimate moves on you. I thought, so that I wouldn't be ashamed as your teacher, for not being able to teach you much I would also like to hand this over. You can learn it sometime and teach it to your students when you have a student. This is the book of the finger of lightning..." Gentayu again received a very obsolete copy of the book from the old man.

"Thank you again, teacher. I promise to keep the teacher's mandate and become a devout student. May teacher live a long life, and please don't die before I come back here again, teacher!" Gentayu lowered his head once more as a sign of his respect and reverence for his teacher. But....

'Place!'

Instead he received a stick punch on his head. A lump soon formed.

"Ouch! What's my fault, teacher??" Gentayu protested while holding his throbbing head.

"Fucking disciples! Do you think I should stay here forever?? Huh! If I had to stay here, who do you think would take care of my wife, huh?" The grandfather snorted while chuckling.

"So....?" Gentayu scrunched his forehead trying to digest the words of his teacher.

"Yes. I have a wife. Who do you think made the dishes we ate while you were here? You think I can cook that well? Haha..." The grandfather laughed at the wooden face that had turned bright red in shame had thought that all this time his teacher had been cooking food for him.

"My wife left you a greeting. He was also a great warrior in his youth. When you're done with your business, stop by our residence. On the edge of the village of Air Ketuan, you just look for a giant shackle tree on the river side not far from the location of your fight against the members of the Ghost Centipede the other day. Just call my name there and I'll pick you up! Haha.... !" Miss Han or the Lightning Finger warrior laughed out loud before drifting and disappearing. Leaving the wailing Gentayu alone in that place.

Not long after, suddenly nature became dark as night. Gentayu who is still overwhelmed with confusion only observes what changes will happen next with an attitude of alertness. After waiting for a while, nothing happened. But he was shocked as he carefully watched his surroundings. Apparently, he's moved. Not under the bottom of a ravine with a rocky cliff, but on a large land. It looks like it's on the outskirts of a village.

Not far in front of him, there was a tombstone standing on it an inscription. By lighting a fire from the energy of the Golden Sun in his hand, Gentayu spelled out every hurup engraved on the inscription :

'GENTAYU'S'

'Deadly Water Hero Swordsman'

"What the fuck??" Gentayu grumbled to find precisely his name carved on the prasati on the tombstone.
