The Swordsman

CHAPTER XXIII

The same thing with the book of Brajamusti is also experienced by the three other sacred books. The Book of the Devil's Sites, which ki Karto kept in his residence. But ki Karto did not know the strangeness that happened because he was in the Hall of the Royal Palace of Kawi. Kitab Lembu Sekilan which is in Padepokan Mahesa Sura which is in the Duchy of Kelud, one of the kingdom of Kawi. The Book of Bolo Srewu is located in Terbello Suket, one of the countries outside the Kingdom of Kawi.

Ki Sasongko and Ki Among then headed out of the library building to see the natural situation that was happening.

"Who exactly is studying the book of kalimasada chief..?

"After me, when you and prince Kusuma studied it, nothing happened like it does now." asked ki Among puzzled.

"I also don't know who and where he is now. He is clearly in the east. Look, all these clouds are moving eastward. The clouds in the east are more dense than here." replied ki Sasongko.

"What should we do, chief..?" ask ki Among.

"none. Let's just wait until the situation gets better."

"There is nothing wrong with us staying vigilant, which I fear, black-flow groups are taking advantage of this situation to troublemaker." Ki Sasongko warned.

Meanwhile, in rural areas in the Kawi kingdom, residents prefer to hide in their homes to pray for protection.

Previously on the plinth of Purba, Raden Sanjaya has been prepared physically and mentally to absorb the power of the magic mantra from the kalimasada step. While ki Sumali made a protective fortress in the mouth of the cave to protect the Sanjaya raden.

Raden Sanjaya sat cross-legged on a black wulung stone. He closed his eyes, concentrating while chanting the magic mantra of kalimasada steps.

"Ngelmu iku lapanone kanthi salah, lekase opposite kas, tegese kas nyantosani setya pangekese dur angkara gung neng anggung gumulung, gegase triloka lekeri kongsi yen den umbar ambabar dadi rubeda............" raden Sanjaya began to cast a mantram of kalimasada steps.

The long mantram was cast repeatedly while Sanjaya's raden understood the steps of kalimasada, the techniques of kalimasada breathing and the incorporation of his nurse.

BLLAAAARR.. GLUCUUUUG.. HRUUUUGGG..

Outside the cave suddenly lightning struck and slowly the black cloud coils formed a vortex and the rumbling sound of thunder sounded. Lightning snatched between the black cloud scrolls and occasionally snatched towards the cave. The same natural phenomenon as when Sanjaya raden absorbed the magic mantra from the previous style, but this time the natural phenomenon is much larger and wider. The entire Kawi kingdom also experienced the same natural phenomenon, but natural phenomena were centered on the ancient pedestal where the Sanjaya raden mediated.

The longer the black cloud scrolls were getting bigger and wider. Lightning increasingly snatched towards the cave, but the barrier installed by ki Sumali can still hold it. The sound of animals is hardly heard anymore. They prefer to hide and stay in their nest. Meanwhile, Sanjaya's raden body was covered by an extremely thick light golden-colored energy fog, much thicker than the previous one. Ki Sumali was unable to clearly see Sanjaya's raden body. But when ki Sumali tried to get close to Sanjaya's raden, ki Sumali was driven by an invisible force that made her bounce.

"This energy is much stronger hundreds of times than before, is my body able to withstand it..?"

"Every time that energy came in, my body felt like it was being hit by thousands of tons of stones, my whole body was crumbling.." inner raden Sanjaya tried to endure the pain.

The longer the energy that enters the body raden Sanjaya the greater. The greater the pressure felt by raden Sanjaya.

"Hold my granddaughter, grandpa, you sure can make it through this."

"Prince Kusuma, help your son. Only the prince can help him." ki Sumali said inwardly.

Three days have passed, there are no signs that what happened to Sanjaya's raden will soon be over. The energy fog was still so thick it enveloped Sanjaya's raden body. Raden Sanjayapun seems to have reached his limit.

"If I fail, then all my efforts have been in vain. I will lose all my strength."

"Let me submit to the Creator whatever will happen to me. Most importantly, I've tried my best." thought Raden Sanjaya

"Where am I..? why can I float..? and these waves are terrible." said Raden Sanjaya in his heart.

Vaguely raden Sanjaya saw the shadow of a person standing in front of him. Raden Sanjaya was unable to clearly see who was standing in front of him as his gaze was obstructed by the huge surge of energy. Raden Sanjaya tries to get close to the person, but his energy pressure makes it difficult for him to move his body.

"My son, you are an adult now." said the figure as he approached Raden Sanjaya.

After close enough distance, Sanjaya raden can see clearly.

"Aaa. aa.. ayaaahh.." Sanjaya's voice shakes.

"Dad you're alive..? where is this, and how can we float above this horrible place..?" raden Sanjaya asked confusedly.

"Truly my son, I'm your father.."

"Not my son, I have died, this is my spirit power that I had in your body when you were born.."

"This is the dimension of your soul or people often say sea of souls." said Prince Kusuma.

"Laut of souls..? So what is this wave and how can it happen..?

"Then what about Grandpa Sumali..? He is still in the cave where I meditate." asked Raden Sanjaya.

"Calm down my son, your physical body is still in the cave with ki Sumali. What's here is your spirit consciousness."

"That wavy-looking water is actually a deep force that you have been training and gathering. When your chakras are filled with inner energy, this is where the inner energy is gathered, in the dimension of the soul that is deep in your heart."

"The dimension of the soul is where the purest energy in the human body resides, so if there is unraveling energy in the sea of your soul, then the energy waves can become very chaotic, and it'll look like you see it now." Prince Kusuma explained.

"But how can I enter into the dimension of my soul..? ask raden Sanjaya.

"Dad is the one who pulled you. Father will help you so that you can finish absorbing the magic mantra of kalimasada steps. But first calm the waves of your energetic ocean." said Prince Kusuma.

"How's dad..?" ask prince Kusuma.

"Look over there, there's a pearl as big as your head."

"Sorb the power of the pearl so that the dimension of your soul becomes stronger" said Prince Kusuma, pointing at the pearl.

"Isn't that a pearl of snow..? it's not like I've absorbed it, and why is it this big..? raden Sanjaya asked confusedly.

"Reply the power of the pearl first. We still have enough time to chat before father's time runs out." said prince Kusuma.

Raden Sanjaya followed by the spirit power of prince Kusuma walking closer to the Pearl of Snow Cempaka.
