The Legend of Garuda Sword

20. Punishment

Still in a dimly lit place and surrounded by towering rocks. Isuke regained his consciousness after a full month of fainting.

Isuke initially denies his teacher's statement that he fainted for a month. But in fact his teacher's statement was true.

Now they were sitting in front of the bonfire that Kang Dong had built.

Isukepun asks why his teacher left him alone in the creepy forest. He almost died because of his teacher's attitude. Isuke looks very angry but does not dare to attack. He knows his own limits.

" Have you not noticed yet? " His teacher asked with an innocent face.

Isuke was only silent with fiery eyes and with a hard fist. He was very angry and claustrophobic with the words of Kang Dong, his teacher.

Kang Dong only smiled and shook his head to find the behavior of his student. He also explained the reason for all the things he did to Isuke a few months ago.

When Isuke in the forest that is full of demons without realizing Isuke has strengthened his fighting mentality and physique because it can defeat low-level and high-level demons. Isuke's instincts also became sharp because he was always on guard in that forest. A little suspicious he was immediately on guard.

Halilintar Mountain. The mountain can actually help the circulation of energy in becoming smoother. The lightning in the mountain also helped one to break through the swordsman level very quickly. But of course it must go through thousands of seoerti stings that Iauke did.

Ocean. By passing through the ocean that is very impossible to do, Isuke got the science of lightening a very great body. He also gained a bit of control over his emotions.

When his teacher attacked with taro leaves. At that time his teacher taught Isuke to predict and estimate the strength of the attack. Isuke must also dodge or hold it in a force that can destroy the attack. Now Isuke began to realize that he felt different at that time. He seemed to be an adept at dealing with every attack.

The final stage of the strength-control exercise was when Isuke broke a large rock. Surprisingly, Isuke's strength is great if accompanied by emotions.

" And the one that I haven't managed to train from you Isuke" his teacher breathed out a moment after explaining at length.

It looks like Isuke's anger is gone. Replaced with a face reddened with shame. He misunderstood his teacher.

"What is a teacher? " As Isuke was curious he finally asked and put aside his embarrassment.

"That is something that comes out of your heart and affects your brain and your behavior" his teacher said eagerly.

A look of confusion approached Isuke. Actually Isuke wanted to discuss this further, but his teacher gestured to shut up and said "later you will understand! ".

They ended up sitting in front of the campfire while eating the fruits in this realm.

Kang Dong explained that every fruit that was here was very beneficial for the warriors. One of them is the apple that Isuke once ate. The fruits here have the same function, which is to increase the inner strength and quality of the muscles.

The better the quality of the fruit that Isuke eats, the more beneficial it is to his body. The purplish-colored apple was the lowest fruit in this place. There are still many types of fruit available in this nature, but Isuke does not know it.

***

Five months later...

"Teacher, should I not go home and accompany you here?" Isuke felt very sad because he had to return to his world and leave the teacher who had cared for him for about a year.

"Stop acting! If you don't come back, then your brother will assume you're dead. Don't mind me not being your family. I am used to living alone anyway. " Kang Dong said in a flat tone while folding his hands on his chest.

" Take this!, just think of it as a gift from me" Kang Dong handed me a purple cloth and a gold-coloured ring with an ancient inscription engraving.

"Is this a teacher? " Isuke received the gift and asked while looking at it.

Isuke looked confused by the thing in his hand. Just a piece of cloth like a swordsman's headband and a ring.

Kang Dong who realized Isuke did not understand the object finally explained

" Aiiih, that thing is the target of every swordsman. How a warrior like you doesn't know yet. The bandage of a thousand grievous is...

Cain who got the blessing of the disabled in antiquity. These people are people who experience pain so deeply, because they are humiliated, exiled and even oppressed. Because they could not stand the situation, they finally gathered together and pleaded with heaven to bring down justice. Then came thousands of rags and approached the disabled. The cloth was used to wrap their flaws. At first there were people who could not see, after the cloth bandage he could see. Similarly, his legs are paralyzed, who cannot hear and much more.

As time goes by, it gets fewer and fewer because it becomes a grabbing material. Not a few cloths were destroyed because it was contested. And what Isuke holds is one of the objects that still survive from so many.

The heavenly ring is the place to store the holder's objects. With this heirloom one only needs to think about the thing he wants to keep going into the ring. Similarly, if you want to take it out, you just need to think about it. Its capacity depends on the power of its owner. The more power in the then the more outside the storage place.

Isuke now understands the function of the heirloom object in his hands. He tried to store his sword into the heavenly ring. Kinggg..... His sword disappeared like it was in the air. Turns out he succeeded. 'Enough easy'he thought.

"Bring up all this might be useful to you! " Kang Dong took out a mountain of fruit on his right from the empty air.

" Guru, do you have the same ring as this? " Isuke was both amazed and proud of his good teacher.

" Of course, just take it! Don't hesitate. And this is my own writing regarding the function of fruits in this place" Kang Dong smiled gently.

Isuke is deeply moved by this kindness and he promises to make the most of his teacher's kindness.

Isukepun put a mountain of fruits and books from Kang Dong into the heavenly ring. Clingggg.....

Kingggg..… Isuke tried to pull out his sword back and instantly appeared in his right hand.

Now he understood the function of the ring.

" My teacher is ready to go home! " Isuke closed his eyes.

" Alright, just stand in front of me, keep your eyes closed and cover your entire body with the deep strength you have" Kang Dong said with a grin and took a few meters away.

Then he ran again towards Isuke while shouting "I can finally punish you for a misunderstanding five months ago….."

Jbuaaa.......

" Aaaaaaa......... "

Isuke was kicked in the sky in full force. He darted like a fast-moving meteor.

After five minutes, Isuke began to realize his inner power was running out. His consciousness is beginning to thin.

Such a harsh air blow can be overcome by Isuke by relying on deep power. But Isuke was only able to last for seven minutes.

He felt his body was no longer inhabited by spirits. As if death were approaching him.

Isuke swears annoyed by his teacher's actions which turn out to be making him dying and actually driving him home for good. Returning to the afterlife is not to his world.
