“Your father is a saint. He always prayed that his son be endowed with the power of the god Pasha who would later be referred to as a child in the prophecy. Your main task is to reconcile the earth when the era of destruction occurs. The Kalachakra sword that you have, is a sign that you are the person directly chosen by Lord Pasha to continue his decree as the God of Salvation.”
Sadewa. “How can I be mandated by a God, while my right hand is like numbness. I fell from the abyss. My right hand is deformed. It is impossible for me to be a strong swordsman if I only have one hand!”
Hearing Sadewa's words, the man named Gatra checked his right hand in full search, making him a little misbehaved.
“No problem. Everything is fine, but the recovery time takes 2 weeks until your right hand can function normally.” Gatra paused for a moment, then continued his last sentence in a very slow voice. “Even stronger.”
Sadewa was very enthusiastic to hear this. But, he did not know until when to be cooped up in the forest that was touted as the White Giant Forest.
Whether he can return or not, all depends on how Sadewa completes the second stage ritual where he must successfully awaken the natural energy of God Pasha which has been held in his body.
It was the only way, or perhaps there was another way that Sadewa himself had not known.
Byurs!
The man who introduced himself as Gatra pushed Sadewa into the river where the water flow suddenly became very heavy.
Looking at Sadewa who was hesitating for help because he could not swim, Gatra laughed and immediately flew to help him. All of this was due to Sadewa's right hand who was still in the recovery stage after falling from the abyss.
Gatra did not expect, the attitude possessed by Sadewa is almost similar to the attitude of the god Pasha once known to like the slippery in speech. His behavior is also a bit strange.
Could it be that the change in attitude and behavior of Sadewa because his spirit has been fused with the spirit of Gatra the Crow?
A few seconds later, Sadewa was shocked by what was in front of him. Gatra showed his original form of a giant black crow with glowing red eyes.
The frightened Sadewa saw it, slipping straight from the rock. His feet were scratched and bleeding. Luckily the river flow suddenly turned into a little calm.
Realizing Sadewa was not ready to see his true form, Gatra returned to his human form is quite handsome with a slightly tapered face. His clothes were white and he carried a long sword with a red mustika imprinted on the center of the hilt.
“After an hour in this form, I must have returned to my original form of crow earlier. This is too energy draining. Because I am a demon. Incarnating into a human being requires a high level of science because I have to really remember the features of the human body that I will resemble.”
Sadewa again stood with a firm posture after earlier had slipped from the rock. After that, he bowed while speaking loudly. “Murid salutes teacher!”
Gatra then invited Sadewa back to the bottom of the ravine where the pigtailed young man fell.
The ancient book of reddish yellow finishes is taken. Gatra opened the fifth page explaining about the level of world warriors. This book was written directly by the god Pasha so that whatever is written in it, is used as a reference by white warriors throughout the world.
Gatra, who completely memorized the book, explained some of the swordsman's levels to Sadewa so that he could open the next page .
“There are five levels of warriors in this world. Each level has certain terms and conditions. If you want to level up, you have to complete a mission or meet a special target given by a teacher. Also, the person you made a teacher, has at least reached the level of an intermediate dragon swordsman.”
“First there was a Land Swordsman and that was the earliest. Then the Earth Swordsman, the Sky Swordsman, the Swordsman, and finally, the Dragon Swordsman. All three stages: basic, intermediate, and final. Each stage has its own conditions. The hardest of the five was to rise from the level of the Late Swordsman to the level of the Early Dragon Swordsman. Normally, it would take dozens of years for them to reach the last level of the entire swordsman level.”
“Which needs to be emphasized, no one starts his adventure in the martial world before he takes it from the beginning, Land Swordsman.”
Sadewa suddenly stopped Gatra's explanation. “Why is it named after the levels of earth, earth, sky, kahyangan, and dragon? There must be a reason. As a person who really memorized this book, you should be able to explain it to me without having to think about the answer first.”
“While, I'll answer your question, but not thoroughly. The rest of the answers, one day, you'll find out for yourself as time goes on. Your journey is long. You can find the answer when you travel later.”
Sadewa. He who was previously shableng and a little semprul, turned into a serious person and had a high curiosity about new things.
Gatra took a deep breath, then invited Sadewa to sit on the river bank. “Pronounced land because it is based on the origin of man it was created. After passing through the soil phase, humans will live and stand on the earth. That is the reason why Earth Swordsman became the second level.”
“Then, celestial swordsman because when we die, our spirit rises to the sky?” Sadewa took a second look at Gatra's speech.
“More precisely, the sky is the second home of humans after death. The position of the sky higher than the earth is the reason why the sky level is made the third level in the swordsman power chain.”
After a moment of silence, Gatra continued. “Why is Kahyangan above the Sky level? The answer is because Kahyangan is where the Gods stop and do all their activities. Kahyangan itself is in the top sky. Which means, the sky-level swordsman has to climb another ceiling in order to reach what is referred to as Kahyangan.”
The conversation between Sadewa and Gatra reminded him of a story he had heard from his mother when he was five years old.
Land is where humans were formed. Mother Patmi said, all humans come from the land and will later return to the land as well.
Therefore, the initial level of warriors is often called the Land Swordsman to remind them of Sang Hyang Widi.
Sang Hyang Widi gives strength so that every swordsman is not too arrogant when he is at the top.
Even if there was one swordsman who started learning from the third level, the Sky Swordsman level, it was certain that he had above average talent and intelligence, but he always acted arrogant and haughty.
The stages of Earth and Earth must be passed even though he has become a powerful swordsman with boundless energy. Sadewa, for example, has the most energy because he has three advantages.
First, Sadewa inherited the blessing of Lord Pasha as well as his sword which is considered the strongest sword in the universe.
Second, Sadewa's body and spirit have been fused with Gatra's spirit which is predicted as the most powerful demon in the universe.
Third, the natural talent of Sadewa that makes him a respected swordsman, is even thought to be the most powerful figure among warriors of his age in the universe.
“Now, it's time to learn. Your level is still a swordsman Land even though you have memorized a lot of basic martial arts, including your swordsmanship which is already equivalent to the level of a Late Sky Swordsman.”
