The Lightning King

6

"Hopefully, Princess Eyang. I'll try my hardest. O yes, Princess Eyang. Who was the real King of Lightning?"

"My biological father."

"What is the birthplace of Princess Eyang?" reset Jaka.

"Why has the science not been inherited from the Princess?"

The old woman dressed loosely in white developed her smile for a moment

"That is the strangeness of science left behind by the Thunder Monarch's ancestor."

"Ruck?"

"The legacy of the Lightning King is not for a woman to inherit. However, it does not rule out the possibility for a female descendant to learn. It's just, won't be able to master more than a quarter of that lesson."

"Why is that so, Princess?"

"According to my parents, that science is specifically for men."

Jaka didn't ask anymore. His body felt so exhausted after eight consecutive nights of training.

"You ready to learn it, my granddaughter?" ask Nyi Selasih.

Jaka Sembada nodded his head.

*

Fatigue has not entirely disappeared from him, but Jaka must come back to face with a night that crawls getting older. And it indicates that he must immediately leave with Nyi Selasih.

"You hear what that sound is, my granddaughter?" asked Nyi Selasih as she flashed rapidly towards the setting sun.

Run the old woman so fast. Obviously, if Nyi Selasih is using the science of running fast combined with the science of lightening the body. Although, not entirely because it had to compensate for the running of his disciple who was now wearing tight clothes of golden yellow.

"Like the sound of a waterfall, Eyang Putri," Jaka guessed while not reducing his running speed.

"In a moment we will arrive at our destination."

"It's a pleasure, Eyang Putri," said Jaka while increasing his running speed.

Now they arrived in front of a pool of water that is not so wide. About six lances, Nyi Selasih stopped right in front of a large stone located right in the middle of a puddle of water that looked so clear.

Jaka just followed while looking at the astonishment at the scene before him.

"What's the river called, Princess Eyang?" jaka asked to know.

"It's not a river, Jaka. But the waterfall flow's falling."

"Snack."

"Crazy weird. Moreover, if you get into it," explained Nyi Selasih.

"Within? Uh! The water just doesn't reach the waist, Eyang Putri."

"Therein lies its strangeness. Let's go down" Nyi Selasih asked as she lowered her foot, tracking the water that felt so cold.

What did Nyi Selasih, followed Jaka. A moment later, they were already on a huge rock that was right in the middle of the waterfall flow. Nyi Selasih then put his hand on the black stone whose bottom is greenish. So before long the big enough stone shifted, and moved a little from its place.

Jaka was flabbergasted to look at the reality that was before him. A hole the size of a quarter of a spear was seen after the stone was shifted.

"Come in it. Then you will find another strangeness there, "command Nyi Selasih.

"Take a deep breath, and keep it in the central stomach. Then take it out a little bit if you can't hold on."

"Daughter's Ey?"

"The Princess will follow you from behind."

Without being ordered twice, Jaka immediately brought down his body to dive. Then he entered a gaping hole just how big it was. The dark atmosphere immediately ambushed him when Jaka got into it.

Along the hole as it is called the hallway is filled with water that can make the body shiver.

Jaka continued to focus his attention while regulating his breathing. He continued to wander through the watery passageway that was growing ever larger.

Behind him, there was Nyi Selasih, the only daughter of the late King of Lightning following from behind.

The hallway that was getting bigger was now split into two paths. I don't know which path to choose. But with the instructions given by Nyi Selasih, he knew that he had to take the right path.

But not yet how far Jaka moved, a large piece of rock blocked his journey. Then his head turned back towards Nyi Selasih. After getting a hint, it immediately pushed the stone that was in front of him. Along with the push of the big stone, Jaka again encountered strange. In front of him is now seen a ladder. For a while he was amazed, but a moment later without hesitation immediately climbed the stairs.

Behind him, Nyi Selasih did the same.

"I can't believe that under the water there is not much depth there is a room this large," said Jaka while staring around the room.

Seemed at every corner overgrown with trees that are not how high, but have a reddish color fruit that is quite challenging his taste.

From the corner covered with trees, Jaka invited Nyi Selasih to watch other scenery in the North corner.

Almost clucking Jaka's mouth watched a pretty amazing sight. Before him lay a circular wall with a centerline of about fifteen more spears. And more surprising, is a white curtain that is nothing but a waterfall that covers the mouth of the cave where Jaka is located.

Really awesome.

Not long ago Jaka enjoyed his admiration, his arm had been pulled by Nyi Selasih to see what was in the corner of the East cave.

Back Jaka was amazed to see the strange sight before him. There looked an old grave that was arranged so neatly and spread a quite pungent aroma And at first, it was, jaka's head felt throbbing as he smelled a fragrant scent coming out from the old grave that was in front of him. Even his heart felt agitated for a moment. His mind was like being taken flying away. And feet....

"Ohhh...."

"Hiiiip...."

Jaka seemed to take a deep breath. All his energy was concentrated in the stomach. He then let out his breath little by little. Then he took a deep breath back.

After a while, Jaka again exhaled. He was arranging a triangular breathing centered on the head, nose, and eyes.

"Hips.... Yeaa...!"

By making the horses low, with palm driven full of joy, Jaka has managed to repel the strong influence evoked from the old grave that scented the fragrance.

"What are you feeling, Jaka?" look at the granny dressed loosely in white.

"My situation is now getting better, Princess. My body feels so light now. My mind became clearer, and my eyes became like tenfold. It was as if I was able to penetrate the thickness of this cave wall, Eyang Putri," replied Jaka with a heart still covered in question marks over the other oddities he had received.

"What effect is that, Princess Eyang?"

The loosely dressed white granny smiled wisely.

"I can't explain the weirdness you're going through right now, Jaka. But I'm sure one day you'll get an answer through the Lightning King's heirloom that will soon be in your hands."

"Heirlooms?" jaka muttered in heart.

"The heirloom of the Lightning King? Oh.... A priceless fortune. But...."

"You deserve it and deserve it, Jaka" said Nyi Selasih.

It seemed, the old woman had been able to read the direction of Jaka's mind. Nyi Selasih then moved her steps slowly, approaching the old grave that spread such a fragrant aroma.

Unruled, Jaka immediately stepped closer to the tombstone bearing the name of the Lightning King. He then sat cross-legged solemnly to the right of the well-kept old grave.

"Put a little, Jaka. The Princess will shift this tomb," Nyi Selasih ordered suddenly.

Jaka without much said immediately obey. In fact, Nyi Selasih's words just now had also provoked a question in her mind.

"Slifted? Duh! What other weirdness is this?" jaka said in his heart. But his eyes immediately noticed the entire movement made by the grandmother dressed loosely.

A momentary creaking sound could be heard filling the cave room. Jaka was again amazed to see the scenery in front of him. The tomb of the Lightning King was removed. And about eight spears from the base of the tomb, there is a basement whose roof wall is made of steel slabs.

Jaka continued to watch without letting out a single question. Only when Nyi Selasih managed to open the steel roof that limited the basement did Jaka's sparkling eyes watch the golden carved iron box.

"In the golden box is stored the heirloom of the King of Lightning, Eyang Princess?" jaka asked, be careful.

The loosely dressed, white grandmother did not immediately reply. He only raised his head slightly, then spread a single smile to his single disciple. But Jaka understood the meaning. Smiling means answering the question. So, now Jaka did not ask again to maintain the solemnity of Nyi Selasih when lifting the golden-colored Lightning King's heirloom box.

So respectful the grandmother lifted the heirloom box of her late father. Then the box was full of caution. And when it was on top, the box had not yet been placed.

Jaka was amazed to see so high his teacher's respect for that thing. So when his teacher rolled out a white velvet cloth, Jaka immediately helped with a fairly high respect.

Nyi Selasih immediately put the heirloom box of his late father on a clean white velvet cloth, after first shifting the tomb of the King of Lightning to be like before.

"You know, Jaka. How the ancestors of Eyang Putri held such high respect for this heirloom. And it would be a great honor if this heirloom could be inherited. And the truth is that. The ancestors of the Eyang Putri inherited this heirloom with all their spirits and bodies. With these treasures, they have been born as warriors grounded in truth, justice, and compassion. They were also born as warriors against the number one evil. Where there is abomination and moral depravity, that is where their figure is present as its oppressor.”

Jaka bowed to hear all the words that came out of the lips of the white-clothed grandmother.

"Are you able to inherit it?"

Jaka raised his head a little. He stared at the face of the grandmother dressed loosely in white with the entire surface of the face reddish and laced with a sense of heat.

"You're willing, my granddaughter?" ask Nyi Selasih then.

A nod slowly caught the eyeball of the loosely dressed old granny in white. Nyi Selasih then smiled.

"You ready, Jaka?"

"Capable, Master!"

*

A golden yellow ray instantly fluttered through the entire cave room, as the heirloom box of the Lightning King was carefully opened by Nyi Selasih. Even Jaka felt his whole body so shiver.

"Give me the pure air you have, Jaka," commanded Nyi Selasih.

Jaka immediately obeyed the orders of his teacher. By exerting pure air, the vibration on his body felt began to decrease.

"Before studying or using the relics of the late Lightning King, you must first adjust to the Lightning King's legacy carrier," explained Nyi Selasih.

Kemudian, diambilnya salah satu dari tiga benda yang berada dalam kotak pusaka berwarna keemasan.

“Against this golden yellow belt, you should be able to adjust. This golden yellow belt is known as the Lightning Belt. The cold effect it caused was quite devastating. It can even cause complete paralysis in everyone who has a low level of exercise."

Nyi Selasih then lifted up a pair of golden-yellow bamboo as big as an adult male thumb. As for the length, a handful of three-year-old boy.

"And against this pair of yellow bamboo, each has its own speciality, Jaka. The yellow bamboo in the middle is hollow, can emit a beam of silvery light like lightning. It can even cause a powerful explosion, such as thunder booming so that it can tear the eardrum. And on the bamboo without a hole in the middle, it can emit a golden yellow ray. When the light touches the body, the skin will feel peeling by itself," explained Nyi Selasih again, while cutting Jaka's gaze who was amazed to hear it.

Jaka then turned his gaze towards the wooden box. It is unexpected that the weapons in it have such a powerful influence.

"That's some of the benefits of the Lightning King relic that I know of. The rest, can be known from this book of inheritance," Nyi Selasih lifted the inheritance book wrapped in golden yellow silk.

“Which I know, this heirloom book only presents the core science of canoegan and some core studies avoiding the opponent's attack. Among them, is the study of 'Baby' and aji 'Kukuh Karang' which is able to reduce every type of weapon or all studies that belong to black flow figures."

The old eyes of the female swordsman of his time were still bright staring at Jaka's face. The mood becomes quiet for a moment. While Jaka waited quietly in silence, with his head bowed.

"My hope is that you will be able to go down what the late King of Lightning inherited in no more than a decade. Even if possible, you must successfully complete this all-consuming task within one window. Eight years, my granddaughter. Therefore, really! The martial world needs warriors with digdaya, with white flow, to stand on truth and justice. A brave warrior who defies evil and evil."

"I will try my hardest, Eyang Putri," said Jaka, steady.
