Night Eagle Swordsman

Surviving In Goa

For days, Puguh and Ki Dwijo lived in the cave. Very painstakingly, Puguh took care of her teacher. Their food is over. For two days now the two of them only drank water dripping from the roots of trees that protruded from the roof of the cave. Puguh had not dared to go out, if he remembered the group of blue-eyed wolves that surrounded him. Although actually Puguh wonder, why the wolves did not chase into the cave.

Puguh has also checked the state of goa. Goa was quite spacious and on his left and right there were branches that formed another room. At the end of the cave, there was a small overdraft that gave off a glowing green light.

From the direction of the small overdraft came a very cold air that was like slapping his face. But Puguh could not understand, what makes the emergence of very cold air in the cave.

The green light, a little help provide illumination in the dark cave because there are very few light sources.

However, Puguh's eyes could quickly adapt to that dark state.

Day by day, Puguh and Ki Dwijo his teacher live life in the cave. Puguh lived it by looking at and learning the state of the cave and its surroundings, in between practicing with his teacher.

Although paralyzed all over his body, Ki Dwijo is still able to give a clue to Puguh.

One day, Puguh was determined to approach a small overdraft at the end of the cave. With all his strength, Puguh tried to withstand the cold in the cave room that came from the small overdraft.

Step by step, Puguh stepped heartily into that little overdraft.

As it passed through the mouth of the overdraft, a very cold air hit his face and the entire surface of his skin.

The overdraft was only three times three meters high with a height of about three meters.

At the end of the almost square-shaped overdraft, Puguh saw a line of glowing green light lying on the altar that seemed to be made of black stone. The altar was shaped like a chest with a length of almost two meters and a width and a height of half a meter.

He forced himself to come closer to the altar. Within about a meter, Puguh saw a sword whose blade was green with a jet-black handle.

However, unable to bear the cold that hit his body, Puguh immediately turned back and came out of the overdraft. Because Puguh also wanted to immediately tell everything he saw and found, to his teacher.

Once out of the overdraft, immediately Puguh approached and told his teacher. Hearing Puguh's story, Ki Dwijo also felt curious and asked Puguh tomorrow to take him to the overdraft to see the sword that Puguh told him about. For today, Ki Dwijo felt that what Puguh did was exhausting enough and needed to rest.

----o---------

On the next day, Puguh led Ki Dwijo to an overdraft where the cold came out. They both used their inner strength to withstand the cold.

Although his body is paralyzed, but the paralyzed are his muscle muscles. But his dalm organ was still working normally, so Ki Dwijo could still control his inner power with his mind.

Arriving in front of the altar, Ki Dwijo invited Puguh to sit on his knees and asked to sit in front of the altar, just facing the blade of the sword that glowed greenish.

They sat on their knees asking for permission from anyone who had placed the sword on the altar.

While bowing that face and gaze, accidentally, Ki Dwijo looked towards the side of the altar wall facing forward.

'Only a matchmaker can lift it'.

Reading the writing, Ki Dwijo immediately invited Puguh back out of the overdraft.

Arriving at the usual place Ki Dwijo lay down, Ki Dwijo said to Puguh.

"Ngger Puguh's. From now on, you train continuously to increase your inner strength. If your inner strength is high enough, you can try to lift the sword. Who knows if you are fighting with that sword. Because, only the fool can lift the sword" Ki Dwijo explained.

Then, without feeling day by day, week by week even up to month by month, Puguh not only trained to improve his inner strength, but also trained his martial arts and science to relieve his body. Because to increase internal energy, the best exercise is to practice silat and the science of lightening the body.

In training, periodically, Ki Dwijo checks the level of energy increase in Puguh. Although his body was paralyzed, Ki Dwijo tried to measure the level of energy in Puguh by grabbing a small stone using his mouth, or sometimes, Puguh was asked to drop a small object held by Ki Dwijo using his mouth. Surely all that Ki Dwijo accompanied by exerting his inner energy into his mouth.

In addition, Ki Dwijo also regularly, invites Puguh to enter the dredge where the sword that gives off a green glow. At each visit to the overdraft, Ki Dwijo silently watched how to deal with the cold coming out of the blade of the sword.

Ki Dwijo can measure the ability and level of power in Puguh, by comparing the power in it.

Ki Dwijo himself, while exerting a deep energy and flowing down the neck all the way to his head in a certain degree, he did not feel the coldness of the blade of the sword.

At some point, either after how many months or maybe the number of years they passed, Ki Dwijo saw, Puguh no longer looks affected or difficulty every entering the overdraft. Even at the end of this, Puguh already did not look cold.

So, Ki Dwijo dared to make a conclusion, Puguh It is time to try to lift the sword that is in the overdraft at the end of the cave.

In the light of day, guided by the light from above that though gloomy enough to illuminate the bottom of the gorge, Puguh and Ki Dwijo again entered into the overdraft.

Arriving in front of the chest-shaped altar where the green-lit sword lay, Ki Dwijo who was seated by Puguh, and Puguh, sat on his knees right in front of the blade of the sword.

While kneeling, Puguh made a request for permission to raise the sword. After that, Puguh stood up and walked up to the altar to try to raise the sword.

With a heart, Puguh held the handle of the sword with both hands while pouring deep energy into both hands.

Beyond the expectations of the two of them, Puguh could easily pick up and lift the sword, even with her right hand alone.

But to the surprise of the two of them, moments after the sword was lifted by Puguh, the green ray of light coming out from the blade disappeared, and revealed the form of a sword blade that was deep green.

Then, after the sword was lifted, the altar where the sword lay, suddenly collapsed and was crushed into dust. Showing the form of a coffin, because inside it looks human skeleton that is still intact and has not been scattered. The two skeletal hand bones were seen, hugging a book that was not too big.
