SURO BLEDEK
Ch. 245 Lightning Valley
After Geho similarly deployed his knowledge with the eyes of Sindurogo they had vanished and appeared in a region near Mount Ararat.
It is now 602 AD that the area is under the rule of the Persian empire. While in the west precisely in Constantinople another empire ruled the region, the Roman empire which was then under the rule of the emperor Justinian I.
Mount Ararat was in the eastern part, so the region entered the Persian empire. The Persian Empire was ruled by Shahriyar.
After Shahriyar's death, he was succeeded by his son Yazdegerd III. It was during the reign of Yazdegerd III that the Sasanian empire came to an end, due to the invasion of the Persian empire by Muslim forces. Even the invasion finally managed to capture the imperial city, namely the city of Ctesiphon.
Later, the city was included in the territory of Iraq. It is just south of Baghdad. At that time the 6th century AD the city of Ctesiphon is one of the largest cities in the world. The city of Ctesiphon is also called Tusfun or Thaysafun. Later on the city was better known by another name, namely the city of Al Madain.
It was during the time of emperor Yazdegerd III that the Muslim army managed to defeat the Persians precisely in 642 AD. Two major battles, the Qadisiyah war and the Nahawan war, were won by Muslim forces. All this happened during the time of Caliph Umar bin Khatab. The Muslim army was led by Sa'ad bin Abi Waqqash.
Emperor Yazdegerd III ordered his warlord, Rustam Farrokhzad, to confront the Muslim forces. Eventually the two armies met west of the Euphrates river in a village called Al-Qadisiyyah (southwest of Hillah and Kufa). It was in this battle that Rustam was finally killed.
This victory at Qadisiyyah was the beginning of the fall of the city of Ctesiphon and the entire Persian territory was held by Muslim forces.

After arriving near Mount Ararat Geho together with eyeang Sindurogo then continue the journey to find the Dark God Worshiper College.
On the way they saw many ruined cities and villages. They fly at altitude, so they can see the condition of the area below.
"Master teacher it looks like the city is under attack by the forces of darkness. Let's continue the journey or do we help them face the army?" Geho similarly asked towards the eyes of Sindurogo who also stared at the city below.
"We help them first!"
Eyang Sindurogo immediately shot down, after seeing the appearance of dark creatures flying around the area around the city.
The dark creatures were instantly wiped out by the two of them. The attack carried out by the two of them made the dark forces finally able to be beaten back. With their retreat, the city was finally saved.
The residents thanked them both. Had the inhabitants not seen the dark creatures that attacked them before, of course Geho's appearance would have frightened them.
From them it is known that various cities have been attacked by creatures like those who have just attacked their cities. Many warriors tried to stop the attack of the invading creatures but no one was able to resist them. For the creatures of darkness cannot be killed by them.
It was precisely many warriors who were eventually killed and captured, then made part of the dark forces. The incident of the attack if calculated likely several weeks after the Dark God managed to free his body.
According to the residents, the darkness troops who managed to escape probably gathered in the area belonging to the Lightning Valley College on the east side of the city they had just saved. From them it is also known that the position of the Dark Gods Worshiper College is on the east side through the Lightning Valley.
According to them, the valley of lightning is now a nest of dark forces occurred not long ago a few full moon ago. It all started with the steps of the Lightning Valley College which for some reason suddenly they all have now become part of the dark forces.
Hearing the explanations of the townspeople, the two of them finally decided to chase the dark forces towards the Lightning Valley. Moreover, the direction of their journey had indeed passed through that place. So that there is no harm they will destroy the place that became one of the lair of the dark forces.
After leaving the city they came to a valley that was probably the Valley of Lightning, as the inhabitants pointed out.
"Why don't we see the appearance of the dark forces?" Eyang watched closely towards the valley below him.
"Maybe they are hiding in this forest master teacher!"
They continued to travel and flew even lower. They became more curious because after passing through the valley far enough not also found the existence of the enemy. Even after flying so low, they did not find any enemies among the lush trees.
Before they decided to go down to check further among the lush trees in the valley, precisely the successive attacks directly hit the two of them. So that makes them immediately avoid the surprise attack. Because at that moment the attack of countless lightning bolts had charged towards them.
"Our insolent turns out to be deliberately framed into their trap!" Eyang Sindurogo shouted in annoyance while trying to avoid the barrage of lightning bolts that struck him.
The lightning that struck it was not from nature but from the exertion of a very powerful inner force. Geho could similarly avoid it with his All-round Steps. It was Eyang Sindurogo who was precisely unable to avoid the lightning that continued to pursue him. Even though the flying speed he exerted was admirable. But the lightning that hit it can chase after his body, making it difficult to avoid.
He tried to give a counterattack to the opponent with the second stance of the Sun God's tread. Because the lightning formations that the opponent deployed in such a large number, then the counterattack from the two of them was not meaningful enough. This was due to the backlash that the two of them had done in just a small amount of time.
After quite a long time trying to destroy the opponent's attack formation with the help of Geho the same, finally Eyang Sindurogo made the decision to destroy the opponent's attack formation in a faster way. Instead of going down and looking for one by one opponents who hide behind the thickets of forest trees, Sindurogo actually chose to shoot up higher and higher.
I don't know what plan he's going to make. But if he forced his way down like before, then the lightning strike would hit him again. Even due to the sheer number and enormity of the attack formation, it was likely that if it continued to persist, then the attack could not be held back by the energy shield that fortified its body. Even as his body shot up into the sky getting higher and higher, numerous lightning attacks still continued to chase after his body.
Shortly after rising up suddenly the sky around the area began to form black cloud clumps like a storm would occur. The black clouds that formed so quickly grew larger. It was also seen that lightning struck all directions from within the black cloud.
The same Geho who saw that there was no good after seeing the deployment made by Eyang Sindurogo, he then stopped the attack towards the enemy that was spread within the vast forest area. He immediately stepped aside as far as possible, as he felt that the master of his master would unleash an extremely powerful force.
Sure enough after the dark clouds were expanding, then suddenly everything rolled and conicaled downwards like a giant tornado. At the end of the cloud vortex was the figure of Sindurogo's eyes visible. Behind the string of lightning was as simple as accompanying the body of the man who was about to hit the earth.
At the very end of it a terrifying energy had formed increasingly bigger and bigger. Its shape was fleeting like the head of a giant dragon shrouded in blue flames and lightning.
"You want to collide with the power of lightning with me, I will grant you! Let's see how strong your lightning bolts hold the third skill of my Sun God's palm!"
Duuuum!!
A massive explosion struck the entire plain where the lightning strike formation that surrounded them both came from.
Geho similarly directly approached towards the eyes of Sindurogo who was still floating in the air, after releasing the style just now.
"I promised my students not to linger. So there's no time for us to serve them." Eyang Sindurogo was still staring towards the land below him which was now covered in blue flames. The vast forest where his enemy hid had collapsed into a crater arch.
"I think the darkness army's attack has spread to all the places on this earth master teacher." The same Geho who was beside the eye of Sindurogo stared at the crater formed from the attack just now in horror.
He did not imagine how strong the human power beside him was capable of making such a huge crater. The appearance is almost like a crater due to the fall of objects from the sky that have a size large enough.
"We continue our journey to the Dark God Worshiper College. I'm sure there'll be another surprise waiting."
"Do I have to go after and I take down the fleeing dark forces master teacher?" Geho similarly gazed eastward where it was seen that some dragons were riding humans flying very fast.
"No, let it go. Instead we will make them a guide to make it easier for us to find their nest. I'm sure they're headed for the College we're looking for. Because according to the direction indicated, the Dark God Worshiper College is in the east the same as the flying direction of the escaping dark forces."
