KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Refugee Preparation

Matriarch Lim then took Gentayu to the courtyard where many of the sect disciples practiced. This is a different side of the court where “tests” Gentayu ability by elder De Wu a while ago. Matriarch raised her right hand, then clapped three times. Seeing that, all the disciples who saw and heard their matriarch clap their hands immediately stopped her activity. Those who have not realized it are also reminded by other colleagues. All the students stood up and approached. They formed a crowd facing Matriarch Lim because they already understood that there would be important things to be conveyed.

“ Thanks, you guys noticed my cue. There is an important announcement that we must convey and must be carried out immediately without any objection as soon as” matriarch Lim opened his sentence and immediately greeted by a low noise of the voices of the students who whispered to their fellow students. Their voices were more like bees when muttering. Their curiosity about the important thing they were about to hear in a moment made the boisterous sound stop shortly after Matriarch Lim looked like she was going to talk again.

“By my side, is a master swordsman who is even stronger than your teachers.” Back a boisterous voice rang out, but it immediately stopped coming back.

“Please no one speaks or comments before we finish talking. Listen out! Beside me, this is a master swordsman who is even stronger than your teachers. This Gentayu brother, his teacher was killed at the hands of a black stream. Then his college, the Golden Sun was also invaded and destroyed. Following three days ago, the Green Bamboo college was also destroyed. Hundreds of students were slaughtered. And right now, the invaders from the combined black-flow group are heading here and will arrive in no time! This warrior beside me, had met, fought, and been defeated with just one of their members! Though he was fighting with two other warriors from Bambu Hijau who have now been destroyed” More boisterous voice soon heard back when mariark Lim took a pause. There was a worried face of every disciple who heard the direction of the matriarch.

“We will not be able to fight them, and we also do not want to fall more victims! For that, after this immediately return to your dormitories and homes! Pack your clothes, we'll leave this place! You have less than an hour! Tell all the other residents of the base, we only have an hour! Everyone, we will gather before an hour from now in front of the dragon god temple! Understand?!” Matriarch explained.

“We Understand!” Answer them simultaneously.

Then they disbanded in a bit of a hurry.

Gentayu then approached Lim's matriarch to ask her next steps to evacuate the entire sect as well as the transportation to be used.

“Tuan Gentayu's. I just witnessed that your power is truly extraordinary. Actually, I initially refused to evacuate because I thought our strength was inadequate to do so.” Matriarch answered Gentayu's question.

“Strength?? Insufficient?” Gentayu.

“Iya. We have an heirloom legacy that can move us in an instant to where we want to be. Unfortunately.. because the elders of the sect are on a mission outside, we are out of people to be able to activate the heirloom” matriarch Lim explained, but Gentayu is even more curious.

Finally, Matriarch Lim took Gentayu away to the part of the building where Elder De Wu and the white-bearded elder were located. The building was at the very end of the headquarters of this sect. It was a temple building. The Dragon God Temple. There are two large dragon statues with both heads facing each other. Between the heads of the two, there was a large mirror. The mirror had just been installed by the two elders who preceded the matriarch from the meeting room, the white-bearded elder and the elder De Wu.

“Mirror that's the heirloom we mean. Unfortunately, in order to activate the power of space and time that the heirloom possessed, it required an enormous amount of inner power! That's why we had to test your strength before agreeing to evacuate using this heirloom. Because we need great power. The three of us will not be able to.” matriarch Lim explained her intention to ask Gentayu for help activating the heirloom.

“How does this mirror heirloom work, miss?” Gentayu asked further. This was his first time knowing there was an heirloom that could move things elsewhere. Doesn't that mean he can go anywhere he wants with this heirloom?

“This heirloom, actually has conditions to use. The first requirement is a great energy to activate this heirloom. We have a very large source of light energy that has been used to illuminate the entire headquarters. That source of light and heat energy should be enough to activate this heirloom. ‘something’ in that light tube is named Plasma Rakurai which means lightning trap. The problem is, the guy who had to bring that glass tube here. People without sufficient strength would melt upon touching it. While the magic swordsman generally, will lose his strength for a moment after touching it. That's why we need the help of Mr. Gentayu, to help our two elders bring him here.

The second condition is to set the goal. This condition can not be fulfilled because this heirloom lost one of the most important parts, namely Pasagi Kubuk. The pasagi kubuk is what determines where the person wearing this heirloom should be sent. Without it, the heirloom wearer would be sent randomly. But it's still better than the entire sect having to be wiped out, right?

The third condition, of course, is someone who makes sure that this heirloom is not damaged before the process of sending people to the destination is completed perfectly. And I guess, Mr. Gentayu is the right person with the two elders.” Although quite impressed by Matrairk Lim's explanation of the greatness of the mirror heirloom, Gentayu can understand how the heirloom will work. According to him, the process of activating this heirloom should indeed start now because it will certainly take a while.

Matriarch Lim agreed. The beautiful woman who was actually quite old then invited Gentayu along with the two elders of the sect to immediately rush off to take Plasma Rakurai. This Rakurai plasma turned out to be a source of energy sufficient to replace solar energy in the basement which was almost twenty times the size of the ball field. It is natural to mention that touching it directly is able to melt the body of an ordinary swordsman.

On the former leg stomp, now appears a pillar of bluish-green rock in square shape. The pillar continued to extend upward from the inside of the earth and stopped after parallel to the Rakurai Plasma.

Matriarch Lim Back moved on the opposite side of the pillar and Back stomped her feet with the strength of her inner strength as before then jumped away. Back another pillar emerged from the Matriarch's former leg stomp. This is done repeatedly up to six times at different points and forms a hexagonal pillar formation.

After the six pillars stood parallel to Plasma Rakurai, Matriarch jumped onto one of the pillars.

When he was on top of the pillar, the heat was very felt on his body. However Matriarch Lim had prepared herself by coating herself with an energy shield.

His hands quickly formed a seal. Then his right hand turned into a hard ground that was filled with yellowish-red lava and emitted white smoke. It was the science of 'Hand of Lava'. One of his powers was rarely used except only a few times during his life when the conditions were desperate.

The red-flaming hand he slammed down, pressing down on the pillar he occupied. And..

‘Triiiiiink...!’.

There was a deafening sound.

Soon, from the pillar, a bluish glow emanated towards the other five pillars. Each other pillar that was exposed to the bluish light then emitted its own light of a different color and highlighted the other five pillars. That is until the entire pillar emits a different color. To every other pillar.

After the six pillars were connected with each other's rays to the other pillars, the light and heat energy on the Plasma Rakurai began to dim. Dimming and continuing to dim, up to half the sect had now become a dimly lit region due to the loss of light. The dim light no longer reached the furthest point of the sect. The light continued to dim until it finally extinguished. Shortly thereafter the rakurai plasma or lightning trap slid down onto the ground floor slowly as if something was holding it back.

When the conditions darkened, there was a sound of panic from some of the sect residents who had not had time to heed or had not heard their matriarch's orders. The condition was a little boisterous and began to be stuffy. But the middle and upper level warriors immediately make light from the power of their inner and heirloom energy to get the light. They are increasingly rushing to prepare for the evacuation.

The plasma is now in the hands of Gentayu and the three elders. They only had to take him to the Dragon Council Temple.

“Send me! The elder just prepare his mirror heirloom!” Gentayu asked permission for the matter of carrying the plasma to be handed over to him only. Of course both the elder and the patriarch refused. They think that Gentayu will lose its power for a long time if it is determined to bring its own plasma rakurai. The three of them clearly do not know, that although it is not perfect but Gentayu is a student of lightning finger training, so it has the basics of lightning science. It should have been Rakurai's plasma that wouldn't have become too problematic for him, he thought.

Sure enough, when touching the Plasma that is very large in size, Gentayu's body does not react anything but feel heavy because it is the weight of Rakurai plasma.

Gentayu hardened his teeth and exerted all his strength to be able to lift the extinguished luminous object, then immediately darted towards the Red Dragon temple.
