The Blue Swordsman

The Secret of the Black Sword

The rain had subsided, the situation in the Wanamawa forest became quiet, only the sound of water falling from the leaves blown by the wind was heard occasionally. Patih Pramana was seen sitting quietly on a rock located not far from where Wanara was lying still unconscious. It seems like he patiently waited until Wanara woke up, finally Wanara's hand was seen starting to move his eyes began to open and he was sitting while holding his head.

His gaze was immediately fixed on Patih Pramana who was sitting on a stone, now it could be seen clearly by his eyes the aura of canuragan science that emanated from the figure that had defeated him, now it could be seen clearly by his eyes, in his heart Wanara felt embarrassed how he could have underestimated the strength of his opponent. His daydreams instantly froze when he heard a voice,

" Have you found out? " Tanya Patih Pramana.

" Already sir, if I may know what is the name of the master? " Wanara asked back, being curious about the figure who defeated him.

" My name is Pramana people know me as Patih Pramana" said Pramana proud of his title.

Surprised but could be hidden from Wanara's face, "so this is the man named Patih Pramana" he said in his heart.

" Pardon you, what do you want from your servant? " said Wanara while confirming the sitting position facing Patih Pramana.

" I'm having a hard time finding the Black Sword, and when I get my hands on the clue to meet you here, do you know where the Black Sword is? " Patih Pramana explained the meaning.

Wanara was stunned for a moment, presumably he was surprised from where Patih Pramana could know the Myth. Because few people knew about the Legend of the Black Sword, the story was only known by the nobles of the King's descendants. But since this man is a Patih the possibility of his King has told him Wanara thought later.

" What do you know about the Black Sword master? " Wanara asked.

" All I know is that the sword can bring great power to its owner, and all I hear is that it is on the Rhimalaya mountain, but when I spent a lot of time looking for him there I didn't find him at all" Patih Pramana said bluntly.

" Even if you spend a thousand years looking for it, you will not be able to find the Black Sword, because the true Black sword is not sought but given" said Wanara

Patih Pramana seemed to be thinking about every word from Wanara because the speech confused him he could not interpret it, he could not interpret it,

" I don't know what you mean? explain everything to me now ! " Patih Pramana's.

" Will I explain sir....."

In Wanara's long explanation it is said if the Black Sword does not exist as a Weapon or an object, but the Black Sword will be created when there are people who manage to master two black magic that will each be taught to two different demons, namely, the two black magic is Ajian Atmaanjana and Ajian Candanisukma. The person who succeeds in mastering the two sciences then he will be able to make a black aura in his hand and with that aura then any weapon he is holding will turn as if it becomes pitch black, it is said that the weapon that has been shrouded in the aura will be able to split whatever the owner wants.

Wanara in the form of a black ape demon will teach Ajian Atmaanjana, a person who can master the science then his body will remain he will not be able to die as long as his feet tread the ground. But the risk that must be borne by people who want to learn the science is that he will be allied with the devil, he said, therefore the first condition that must be met by the person who will learn the black magic is to drink fresh blood as a sign that he has devoted his soul to the devil.

When someone has mastered the study of Atmaanjana then he will get a clue, where he must find the demon Shengkara who is the incarnation of a black rat from him he will learn the study of Candanisukma, studies that will make people who have mastered it become have an immune body.

When the story of Wanara was finished, Patih pramana was silent for quite a while apparently thinking about something or maybe planning something. A moment etched a sly smile on his face as if he had formulated something.

Wanara who initially thought that he would see doubts about Patih Pramana after knowing the effects of people who would learn black magic seemed to be in vain. Because Wanara did not know how ambitious and madness Patih Pramana was towards all martial arts no matter if the science would make him a half demon that was in his mind only he wanted to become the strongest Swordsman which ever existed.

" Well I will teach you what you have to do to learn the study of Atmaanjana, now you better rest first because it is almost morning" replied Wanara.

There was no other choice for him, because he had been defeated by Patih Pramana then inevitably he had to devote himself to Patih Pramana, and had to obey all the orders he gave.

" I don't need a break, just teach me what to do now also "refuse Patih Pramana impatiently.

" It's not so master, but to learn the science of science is you have to wait for the full moon to come, and when it is exactly midnight you will undergo the first ritual by drinking blood as a bond of agreement with the devil that will lower the knowledge to you " said Wanara explained his point.

Patih Pramana snorted, then sighed as if he was trying to form patience,

" When will the full night come? " said later.

" Three nights from now on sir "

" That's long enough, and what do I have to do to wait for that night? "

" You can do anything, sir, but you should use that time to rest to recover your energy" Wanara said as he stood up as if to leave.

" In the middle of this forest where I can rest? " Tanya Patih Pramana.

" Let's follow the servant will show you a place to rest" said Wanara who then walked towards the back of the big tree.

Patih Pramana immediately followed Wanara's steps. Then they had come to a rickety and old-looking gubug, though when they entered it it it was still quite decent to occupy.

" Her servant used to live here, please spend the time these days by resting here" said Wanara please.

" Where are you going now?" Patih Pramana asked when he saw Wanara walking out.

" The servant also needs to rest master, soon the morning will come and the servant does not like a bright place" Wanara said giving an excuse.

" Good hemh, go " said Patih Pramana to let Wanara go.

Patih Pramana then lay down leaning on his two hands he looked up, bright flashes of light visible in his eyes a sly smile adorned on his lips. I don't know what is in the delusion of Patih Pramana, what plan he is imagining, for now only he knows.
