The Blue Swordsman

Bad hunch

Patih Pramana's success in controlling Ajian Atmaanjana now makes him immortal, he will not be killed and his wounds will soon recover as long as his feet are still on the ground. He is now looking astonished to see the scar due to Wanara's attack on his left hand that has recovered.

"So this is the power possessed by the man who controlled Ajian?" Patih Pramana asked Wanara.

"That's how sir is, but your body can still get injured, to get black swordsmanship you are now one step away from achieving that goal" Wanara said a little because he actually knew that Patih Pramana had obtained a clue in his hermitage.

"Yes, I know, I have to go to meet Shengkara, I already know of his presence in the vision I got at the end of my hermitage" Patih Pramana said as he gazed westward, it was as if he could see his goal from where he was now.

"Where is he, sir?" Wanara asked curious about the hiding of his stealth friend.

"Mount Basanta" replied Sang Patih while facing his face staring at Wanara.

In the village of Grigis, Rajendra was preparing to continue his journey that night when he saw the moon shining full, it meant that he could currently carry the White Wolf Shield under the moonlight in order to return to being the Atmic form of the forest. That way he will know where the next destination is,

"Thank you for all the kindness you've given me during my stay here" Rajendra said, bowing to the owner of the house where he stayed.

"Don't hesitate, it's actually more difficult to see you have to go" replied the homeowner sad as if the one who will go is his own child.

"May I have the opportunity to come again to this place sir" Rajendra said to entertain the good owner of the house.

"I hope so too" said the homeowner half-wish his guest's speech could come true.

"We're leaving now sir" Rajendra said, representing the farewell of his student as well.

"Yes take good care of yourself" said the owner of the house to take off with a heavy heart the figure he greatly admired was leaving his house. The good old man was still looking towards the two people who were walking away from the village until their bodies were lost in the darkness.

When it reached the middle of the forest Ranu began to ask about Riswana,

"Where is Riswana the teacher? Has he not returned?" Ranu asked the same question and answered Rajendra by saying that Riswana was leaving and would return on a full night.

"Some time he will come" replied Rajendra, raising his left hand up, in the left hand there is actually a White Wolf Shield that does not show its shape.

The moonlight immediately shone on the shield and turned it into a thick white puff of smoke. Along with the change of Rishvana into its Atmic form suddenly they heard the sound of thunder so loud. It was the sound of black lightning striking at Wanamawa Mountain. After the sound of silence disappeared immediately, Rajendra, Riswana and Nadira who suddenly appeared to be able to feel a bad feeling. Ranu who only felt shock covered his ears with his hands, he was unable to sense such a powerful evil aura.

The two Atmics looked at each other as if not wanting to say something they knew, Riswana then chose to say it.

"Hamba had felt something like this several tens of years ago sir, an unmistakable sign that there is currently someone who has mastered a very forbidden black magic" Riswana explained what he knew.

"Either whoever he was must have been trying to get the Black Sword, and it seems like he's done half that effort" Nadira continued while staring at the source of the distant sound.

"What do you mean? This aura clearly felt not from a human" Sanggah Rajendra who clearly felt the magnitude of the powerful evil aura. He who had often felt the evil air of demons, felt that the aura he felt at this time even exceeded that of the demons he had faced.

"The forbidden black science that even exists hidden from this world is called Ajian Atmaanjana, one who has mastered it will remain as long as his feet tread the ground. Of course, the person who managed to master him has a half-stealth" said Riswana explained what Rajendra felt.

"And even more frightening if this person then managed to learn black magic to two masters" Sela Nadira while staring at Riswana.

"Explain everything to me now!!" Said Rajendra who already felt the need to know all about the person who is likely to be his greatest enemy.

"People who have mastered Ajian Atmaanjana, will likely try to master the second black magic, namely Ajian Candanisukma to perfect the power of his knowledge. The second black magic will make the body of the person who controls it become immune to ordinary weapons. And the more terrifying above all that one who manages to master the two will be able to create a weapon that will bring destruction to this world" said Riswana shuddering at the thought of his fear as if it was imminent.

"For so long no human has managed to master the two sciences, if it happens now I fear the world will be destroyed" Said Nadira who felt the fear that Riswana felt.

"If so we have to hurry to find all the remaining Atmik" said Rajendra like having a hunch if the mysterious figure they are talking about is likely later also going to look for Atmik.

" Good master" said Riswana and Nadira almost simultaneously as if understanding with the intention of Rajendra.

"So where is Atmik closest to this place" Rajendra asked Riswana.

"Atmic land, He is on Japadipa mountain" replied Riswana quickly.

"We'd better hurry sir" Sela Nadira who already knows their purpose.

Both Atmik were transformed into his Atmik form and told Rajendra and Ranu to go up on their bodies. Ranu who had been listening now felt what the three of them were worried about, the trip was done by flying so that they could get to their destination as soon as possible. Ranu who was above the body of Atmik Riswana was a little ahead of Rajendra who was above the body of Atmik Nadira.

In silence Rajendra seemed to be thinking about his potential great enemy, he felt little doubt about his current readiness to face the mysterious figure. But then he got his confidence back, it crossed a thought if indeed for this he was destined. If not him then who else would be able to stop the owner of such a huge evil aura, he is now only focused on quickly finding the remaining Atmik.

"I must not fail" Rajendra said in his heart, insisting on a strong determination in him.
