JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Ajian Melting Saketi

Sendang Inten a small pond fenced in large trees located at the foot of Mount Lawu. Although it looks like an ordinary small lake, but there is something different for the warriors who understand the science of kebatinan high level. In that place, since the early days of civilization, believed by the citizens of the surrounding community as a gathering place of supernatural power in Mount Lawu.

The arrival of Jaka Umbaran to the small lake suddenly made a pair of invisible creatures who have been hundreds of years inhabiting a large banyan tree near the place was provoked by emotions. Both of them are Pancer and Suketi, a pair of demons that have strange shapes. Pancer is a tall man with a scary red skin, while Suketi is a small woman with a mature brown skin whose height is only after her husband. The two often appear in the real world as a pair of macaques that are seen playing on this huge banyan tree.

"Do you want that man Kakang Pancer? Why is he soaking in Sendang Inten?", said Suketi while pointing to Jaka Umbaran who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of Sendang Inten. The handsome young man's body was half-drowned inside this small, clear well.

"Looks like he's going to be imprisoned, Nini Suketi..

Already let it go, at most only strong two days have given up. Humans will not be able to survive for so long in the water of Sendang Inten especially with the air of Mount Lawu that is like this cold" said Pancer as he jumped towards the branch of a large tree nearby. Suketi glimpsed Jaka Umbaran before she followed her husband's steps to return to her nest.

The afternoon just passed. The hot air around Mount Lawu instantly changed with a biting cold. Especially when the night begins to cover the whole place.

Jaka Umbaran who was sitting cross-legged inside Sendang Inten, had to desperately resist the coldness that attacked his body. Towards the morning, the air temperature around the place dropped dramatically to the point that it felt increasingly tormenting the handsome young man's body.

Finally the morning sun also appeared on the eastern horizon. The reddish orange light slowly but surely began to make the entire universe look beautiful with its expulsion the cold night gripped the earth. Birds chirping in the branches of large banyan trees on the east side of Sendang Inten, further adding to the beautiful atmosphere in the morning.

Suketi in the form of a small monkey glimpsed at Jaka Umbaran who still sat imprisoned in Sendang Inten.

'At least tomorrow he's not strong. Just ignore it', the female inner demon while jumping from her residence, jumping from one branch to another big tree branch to look for food in the thick forest of the foot of Mount Lawu.

The day changed quickly. It did not feel like 2 weeks had passed since Jaka Umbaran began his asceticism in Sendang Inten. His body had grown accustomed to the stinging heat of the day and the bone-chilling cold of the night soaking in this little lake. Suketi began to be interested in trying to approach Jaka Umbaran. Occasionally he walked closer to Sendang Inten because he wanted to disturb Jaka Umbaran but he did not dare to touch him directly. Several times he threw small pebbles on the human body to disturb him but not a bit Jaka Umbaran flinch from his original place.

By one full moon, the interference received from Suketi is increasing. He was getting brave to directly mess up at Sendang Inten. Not only Suketi who did it, even her husband Pancer increasingly follow-up to make a tantrum. Tapa brata Jaka Umbaran is indeed disturbing the lives of the demons around Mount Lawu.

The longer Jaka Umbaran ascetic, the more demons that come to Sendang Inten because they feel sultry with hot aura coming out of the human body that is imprisoned in this small lake. Not only Suketi and Pancer, dozens of stealth such as snake stealth, deer stealth, weasel stealth, rabbit stealth to centipede stealth came to Sendang Inten so that the tapa brata Jaka Umbaran soon ended. Strange sounds like people asking for help, a child who was crying until laughter was heard in Jaka Umbaran's ears but the handsome young man was not affected by all that.

On the thirty-ninth day of Jaka Umbaran hermitage, some demons who could not hold back because of the increasing heat of the air around Sendang Inten finally agreed to interfere with Jaka Umbaran's tapa brata directly.

"We can't be patient with this guy anymore. We must immediately drive him out of his hermitage place so that our residence returns to normal" said the stealth scorpion while pointing towards Jaka Umbaran inside Sendang Inten.

"I agree with your opinion, Kala..

Let me first try to wake his tapa brata", said the demon crow while darting quickly towards Jaka Umbaran who remained unmoved at least from his place of asceticism.

This crow demon immediately swung its claws towards Jaka Umbaran.

Hhhrrraaaaaakkkkkh!!

But when the claws of the raven's stealth hand touched him, he immediately bounced far back and almost hit his own friend. The fingers of his claws broke off like a burn and broke off a.

Seeing that, his other friend, the eagle demon and the scorpion demon immediately shot forward simultaneously towards Jaka Umbaran. The scorpion demon armed with a large claw and the eagle demon relying on a pair of claws of his hand swung his flagship weapon towards the disciple Maharesi Siwamurti.

Chhrraaaaunkpunkk....

Ohhhrrraaaaaakkkkkh!!!!

Aaaarrrgggghhhh.... !!!!

The two demons screamed loudly as their attacks touched the skin of the handsome young man who was imprisoned inside this Sendang Inten. Both are mental and are looking far back. The two demons roared in pain as their weapons which were part of their bodies were charred like burning flames. Linuwih power created from Jaka Umbaran hermitage makes his body like having an invisible magical protector, which is unable to be penetrated by demons.

The stealth continued to take turns disturbing the ascetic Jaka Umbaran including her husband Suketi and Pancer. But all the efforts of the demons of Mount Lawu is in vain because none of them are able to disrupt the buta brata disciples of Maharesi Siwamurti.

Morning to arrive at the area of Mount Lawu and surrounding areas. The beautiful morning sun's light shines in the eastern horizon, slowly expelling the dew on the leaves. Breezy cold wind that ripples from the south makes the cold atmosphere increasingly felt at Watu Bolong Hermitage.

That morning, after performing devotion to Sang Hyang Akarya Jagat, he, Maharesi Siwamurti shuffled from his pamujan sanggar after sprinkling flowers and incense on the clay brazier so that white smoke smells fragrant spread around Watu Bolong Hermitage.

While climbing the stairs down from the black stone, Maharesi Siwamurti moved his fingers. He looked like he was counting something. Suddenly his count stopped and he smiled knot.

"It's been 40 days apparently..

Hehehehe, it is time for me to awaken my student Jaka Umbaran's ascetic tapa.", said Maharesi Siwamurti lirih. After that, the old hermit immediately darted as if flying over the tops of trees that grew on the slopes of Mount Lawu towards the North.

In just a short time, Maharesi Siwamurti arrived at Sendang Inten. The arrival of the old hermit immediately made the demons who shrouded Sendang Inten spurt escape. Of course, none of them dared to challenge this old hermit because he had a study that could make a demon get killed with a single strike.

As soon as he reached the edge of Sendang Inten, Maharesi Siwamurti continued to walk regardless of the demons peering from a distance. Miraculously, Maharesi Siwamurti set the surface of this small lake water like walking on land. Not even his feet were wet at all.

Maharesi Siwamurti immediately stopped right in front of where Jaka Umbaran ascetic.

"Ngger Cah Bagus Jaka Umbaran..

Wake up from the tapa brata mu Ngger, your duty is done" said Maharesi Siwamurti with a heavy and authoritative voice.

Hearing that voice, Jaka Umbaran slowly began to open his eyes. As soon as he saw the coming of Maharesi Siwamurti, he smiled faintly from his pale lips. Then swiftly, he got up and respected the teacher.

"Worship my Master" said Jaka Umbaran immediately.

Now you come with me to receive what I promised you 40 days ago".", after saying so, Maharesi Siwamurti immediately pulled Jaka Umbaran's left hand and took him flying towards the top of Mount Lawu.

Suketi and her husband Pancer immediately followed the ascetic's steps. The two immediately rushed to pursue the direction of the departure of Maharesi Siwamurti and Jaka Umbaran.

At one of the peaks of Mount Lawu, precisely in one of the areas called the Kepatasan Repat or also can be called as Cakrasurya, Maharesi Siwamurti stopped his steps. Precisely at one end of a rock cliff near a deep ravine, Maharesi Siwamurti asked Jaka Umbaran to sit there.

"Drawl, today I will lower Ajian Melbur Saketi as a complement to Ajian Guntur Saketi. If Thunder Saketi you use to protect yourself from humans, then Melting Saketi you use to face the stealth nation.

Wise is Ngger Cah Bagus in using it", said Maharesi Siwamurti with a faint smile.

"Murids obey all the commands of the teacher" said Jaka Umbaran while respecting the teacher.

Hearing that answer, Maharesi Siwamurti smiled widely. Slowly he moved the brownish-colored flirtatious seed beads that were always in his right hand to his left hand. While the mouth of the hermit was a long white beard, he was muttering a mantra. On his right palm was emitting a yellowish blue light that was quite blinding to the eyes.

"Exclude your whole mind, Ngger Cah Bagus. Open 9 holes in your body and let the life of the universe enter into it", orders Maharesi Siwamurti immediately. Jaka Umbaran immediately did an order from his teacher.

While continuously reciting the mantra, the right hand of Maharesi Siwamurti was immediately placed on the crown of the head of Jaka Umbaran. Instantly the yellowish-blue light spread throughout all parts of this handsome young man's body. Jaka Umbaran's body trembled violently and cold sweat began to pour profusely from every pore of the skin.

After Ajian Melbur Saketi united with the body of Jaka Umbaran, Maharesi Siwamurti released his hand from the crown of the young man's head. Jaka Umbaran immediately sighed in relief as the heat felt by every part of his body gradually disappeared. But the young man immediately closed his eyes to set his airway and blood flow.

At the same time, Suketi and Pancer, a pair of ape demons that followed them, reached the spot. This cannot be separated from the observation of Maharesi Siwamurti. The old hermit immediately smiled meaningfully.

"Turn, open your eyes.. And look, in this real world there are some invisible creatures.

Try to find them", said Maharesi Siwamurti immediately. Jaka Umbaran obediently opened his eyes. His pupils instantly emitted a golden yellow light. Soon he rolled his gaze around the place and found Suketi and Pancer watching them both in monkey form.

"Teacher, the two monkeys", Jaka Umbaran turned to Maharesi Siwamurti and the old hermit immediately smiled as he nodded his head.

"You can test Ajian Melting Saketi's ability on them", hearing that answer, Jaka Umbaran immediately saluted his teacher before darting rapidly towards Suketi and Pancer. These two ape demons were surprised not to play to see the arrival of Jaka Umbaran.

"Why did you two follow me here?", asked Jaka Umbaran immediately.

"Back Pancer..

In-he could see our true form", Suketi stuttered so nervously.

"Huhhhhh, what if he can see our form Suketi?

I can no longer bear to beat this rotten human being" Pancer said as he darted towards Jaka Umbaran. His body instantly turned into a huge tall creature with reddish skin with a sinister face. While growling loudly, Pancer smashed his right hand towards Jaka Umbaran.

Hoooaarrrrrrggghhhhhh!!!

Whhhuuuggghhh!!!

Jaka Umbaran immediately berkelelikan avoid hitting Pancer. The handsome young man immediately twisted his body and floated a hard kick of Pancer's waist.

Bhhuuuuuggg!!

Pancer just grinned widely while looking at Jaka Umbaran because the hard kick from the handsome young man felt nothing at all to him.

"Is that all your ability? You will die soon!!", cried Pancer increasingly bellowed towards Jaka Umbaran. The fierce battle between them took place exciting in the Heat Repat.

After a few moves passed and Jaka Umbaran still could not take down Pancer, the handsome young man immediately jumped backwards. His mouth was creeping the mantra Ajian Melting Saketi. He wanted to try out the skills of the kanuragan studies he had just received.

With the right hand palms emitting a yellowish blue light, Jaka Umbaran lunged forward towards Pancer. Initially Pancer was so confident in facing Jaka Umbaran but Suketi's loud screams immediately awakened this ape demon.

"Awas Kakang, i-it's Ajian Melting Saketi!!!"

Pancer's face was pale instantly as Jaka Umbaran's right palm slammed into his chest.

Bllaammmmmmm...

AAAARRGGGGGGGHHH!!!

Pancer roared loudly at that very instant. His enormous body was thrown far back and smashed into the boulder on the cliff of the Heat Repat. It instantly transformed into a little monkey which then turned again into a ring with a red jewel. Inside this red gem was the form of a small monkey sleeping in coils.

Jaka Umbaran immediately darted rapidly closer to the ring. He immediately picked it up while paying attention to this red gem-eyed ring. Maharesi Siwamurti immediately approached Jaka Umbaran who was holding the ring.

"Jagad Dewa Batara..

This is destiny, Ngger Cah Bagus", said Maharesi Siwamurti with a smile. Jaka Umbaran who did not understand what the meaning of his teacher's speech immediately asked, saying,

"What does Teacher mean??"
