SAKYA PARAKA: THE LIBERATOR

The Pinggala Army Elite Soldiers

After killing the twenty Pinggalas warriors, Sakya took a breath first. The group of enemies that came next was definitely twenty-one people.

Right now the number of enemies is no longer a problem for Sakya. He could kill anything that came. For Sakya, all the soldiers were moving so slowly that he could easily dodge their attacks.

The next problem is is is that the prana is enough until he kills General Pinggala? While Sakya sees there are still thousands of soldiers between him and general Pinggala. He saw that the prana pool was only half left. Sakya has no time to deal with the thousands of Pinggalas.

Sakya darted straight into the heart of the enemy's defense. Unfortunately even for Sakya a thousand warriors was still too difficult to pass through. Like cockroaches, they always come again and again. As long as the prana is still there, Sakya is not in danger. The problem is, the prana is almost unnoticed.

Suddenly the war trumpet sounded long. Pinggala and Nikala soldiers simultaneously stopped swinging weapons. They sheathed their weapons and retreated to join their respective armies.

"What's going on? Why did we stop?" Sakya asks a Nikala soldier who is quite old. Seen from the sagging skin of the face covered with blood.

"Today's war is over. The war will continue tomorrow morning. Now we will gather the dead Nikala warriors to be buried properly. Those who died today were heroes. Their bodies are not worth trampling on as the war continues tomorrow morning,” replied the middle-aged soldier. Then he walked up to a nearby corpse and carried it somewhere.

It's afternoon. The sun is on the west horizon. The twilight bed looks studded with yellow, red and orange light. So beautiful to look at, contrasting with the scenery in the Gabbala field full of blood and corpses.

Sakya looked at the soldiers around her. No more silver armor. Everything is blood red. Even his face and hair. Only the eyes and teeth are still white. Sakya asks herself if she looks like that?

All the blood attached to Sakya's hair, face and body is an illusion but feels real to Sakya. He forced himself to bathe in the river. After fresh Sakya meditation to absorb the prana in the surrounding nature and fill the reserve prana is almost empty.

Morning is coming. No soldier greeted him. As if knowing his presence was not expected, this morning, the weather was dark and overcast.

The situation at the Nikala warrior camp began to bustle with various activities. Today they will start risking their lives again. No soldier smiles except Sakya, today he will go straight to the general's place and complete his illusion.

The war signs are starting to get hit. Sakya immediately shot into the middle of the battle ahead of the cavalry in front of him. He swung his sword at the Pinggala warrior. Each swing of his sword sent an opponent into the afterlife.

Like a dancer, Sakya's body swerved avoiding arrows and sword swings, jumping right and left to thrust her sword. His movements are so beautiful accompanied by the screams of death as his music.

Sakya cannot be stopped by the Pinggalas. He sank into complacency, pride, relief. The feeling he gets when he has to complete a task and finish it well, gives him peace of mind. The calm that was obtained in a war situation where lives could be lost in a heartbeat could not be described with words.  Two words that are quite close to it is ‘luarget’.

Sakya is getting closer to the position of the enemy general. Soon he will have the head of the general. The prana reserve is still half the pool again. More than enough to kill the general.

The general of the Pinggala army was behind thousands of Pinggalas. Sitting on a white horse complete with gold armor matching the color of his helmet. His red robe fluttered in the wind.

Behind the general there is still the elite Pinggala army. The red robes on their backs distinguish them from the regular Pinggalas. Their job is to protect the general, which is why they haven't been involved in the war. Everything changes when Sakya starts to get closer to the General. One soldier started to advance and stood between Sakya and the General.

Not yet exhausted his shock, the opponent banged his head against his head. Sakya took two steps back, her head feeling throbbing. Then he jumped five steps back trying to find safety from the next attack.

Beyond Sakya's expectations, the opponent did not chase after him. It was as if he was waiting for Sakya to strike back. Sakya sharpened her eyes to look at the opponent's shield and sword, there was a prana lining the two.

Sakya suspects the elite soldier of the general guard is an eka praboditha, just like her. The calm within him began to disappear.

Sakya starts to attack the opponent again. He distributes the prana to the maximum. His sword swing was getting stronger, his movements were getting faster. However, the opponent seems to be able to keep up with Sakya. No matter how strong and fast Sakya's attack was, his opponent could always give a counterattack. Their fight looks like they are taking turns attacking each other.

The battle did not end even though it lasted long enough.  Sakya attempts to directly kill the general, unfortunately the general seems to know his point. Now he was already behind dozens of elite troops.  Sakya paused her point and stayed focused on facing her opponent.

Sakya knows an ordinary attack will not be able to knock out an opponent, he needs to do something new.

Sakya took ten steps back, this time the prana was only flowed to both feet of the way a large number. He darted and leapt towards the opponent quickly, then all his prana he channeled only into his right hand and sword. He swung his sword at the opponent's head. The opponent raised his shield but Sakya's unstoppable sword continued to descend from top to bottom. Splitting the shield and body of an elite warrior.

Sakya wins with the consequence that her entire prana reserve runs out. Sakya lay helplessly as she had no strength to get up and stand up. The next incident could have been Sakya's prediction. Two elite soldiers will come forward to kill him. This time Sakya was lucky, her estimation was very precise.

"Welcome back to Vanuya Hall."

Sakya has completed the illusion in 20 days. He died forty times in the fight against the elite soldier Pinggala. Fortunately, killing the general was not as difficult as imagined. It only took one swing of the sword and the illusion was over.

Furthermore, Varna offers Sakya to learn to open the chakra point of Svadhisthana in order to become a dwi praboditha.

After finishing hunting with Karka and preparing everything, Sakya entered Vanuya Hall for a long period of time trying to open the chakra point Svadhisthana.
