Swordsman Without Friends
Under the rain of thunder.

Newly awakened pranacitra from her semen, she gasped as she felt her body become light but full of energy. based on his memory when he also listened to his teacher Ki Rangga Wesi Bledek who was giving instructions to all his friends how to process and drain energy in, which is, the young man whose left leg was slightly limping tried to work on it. As the power began to flow into his right hand, Pranacitra felt his right palm become heavy and vibrate. it was also quite difficult for him to make his palm become calm.

When everything was under control, his palms began to rotate in a semicircle in front of his chest and then slowly pulled towards his waist.with a loud jolt in front of the open right palm struck.!

'Whuuuss., blaam., blahar.!'

At that time Pranacitra did not understand how much deep power he had, nor did he know how much power he had used to hit. but when you see the thickets of shrubs that are scattered until they are rooted and the hard wind that sweeps the grassy soil until they are displaced, proving the power of the blow is quite scary.

Moments later strangely Pranacitra felt in her like she was missing something, her breath was a little bit congested her body was also somewhat weakened.

This young man sighed, he remembered the admonition from the Milky Way White Eye while channeling the profound energy he had sucked from the Yellow Buntelan Demon Sect into his body. ''Remember the boy., even though the power of devotion I gave you is enormous, but every time you use it, your body will feel a little weakened..''

''It's all because of the 'Dark Hell's Pulse Hole' that's inside you, so the energy in my giving can't be stored and developed as it should. that power is useful to resist the influence of the Blood Freezing poison and Heart so as not to continue to gnaw your body..''

''As long as you don't use your magic often and the poison remains accumulated at one point.Your life will still be safe.but if you use it a lot. the magic power that should be able to fortify your body from the ferocious poison will also decrease, making the accumulated poison will spread again.until you will eventually die.!''

Slowly Pranacitra stood up, he pondered at the thought of all the words of the old man who had become the teacher of Srianah. ''This situation was exactly the same as when Nyi Latitude Wungu and the Black Angel helped me the other day.My body felt stronger at first.but with time and energy that I often released, I was able to get out, I also became weak again., this was all because of the Dark Hell's Pulse Hole that was inside my body..''

''So in conclusion, if I want to survive I must be able to manage my energy, as well as find a way to eliminate this Dark Hell's Pulse Hole. but where can I find a person capable of curing this bastard's illness.?'' pranacitra's wrath restrained his anger.

After calming his heart filled with feelings of disappointment and almost despair, this young man began to turn his attention to the tear of a cloth that read a guide to silat called 'The Strange Steps of the Undead.'

On the sheet of white cloth that mustard in addition to written the name of the silat science also listed the description and picture of two human feet as well as lines that direction irregular. ''The strangely named silat science is certainly not easy to learn..''

Unknowingly Pranacitra seemed to be immersed in the line of footstrokes that were on the sheet of cloth. slowly his feet stepped along according to the instructions that were there. once he felt failed he repeated it again, until more than ten times the young man did it, but only half of it he could understand.

Pranacitra was not a foolish young man, his body was indeed weak but his brain and thinking power were much more powerful than most youths.

He failed to learn the style of the Strange Steps of the Undead because of this silat is indeed very difficult to learn. let alone injured his left foot, making his foot movements even more difficult. even many times he fell and sprained because of a wrong step. finally this young man stopped when he felt his left leg that had been injured bacok swell and bleed.then he realized that it was too hard to practice.

After adjusting his breathing and calm down, Pranacitra again read all the instructions written there.When he was about to return to practice he just saw a small line of writing at the bottom. ''This science I got from an old friend of mine who has disappeared for a dozen years not because of his enthusiasm.the grapevine of news that I have heard, I have heard, he had lost his way into a forbidden place called the Thousand Poison Valley.!''

Instantly Pranacitra was stunned. ''Always the name of the Thousand Poisons Valley is called people. actually where the valley is located. why become a forbidden and dangerous place.?'' he thought curious.his head looked up, up there the sun was already leaning west. Pranacitra heard his stomach ringing.he just remembered that he had not eaten since this morning.

Remembering Srianah, the sweet, agile and loyal thirteen-year-old girl made Pranacitra's heart in the lonely net.although only half a month together, but already much like the suffering they both went through. while his body coughed up tightness and fatigue, patiently Srianah massaged his back also made herbs to relieve his cough.other time Pranacitra relapsed his cold illness. without shame the girl immediately clutched tightly onto the young man's back.Give him a blanket, rubbing his cheeks and palms to just give a warm feeling in the young man's body.

Maybe this is all just a trivial treatment and can be done by everyone, but if something small is done with compassion and sincerity, it will be very meaningful and priceless.

''Loneliness., I never thought that loneliness was so painful, but why do all the people I love and make me feel comfortable always leave me. will I continue like this for the rest of my life.?'' he muttered as he opened the bundle of cloth. There were four pieces of boiled banana, two sticky rice with a coconut grater wrapped in banana leaves, a jug of drinking water, a pair of clothes and a thick cloth blanket.

Pranacitra was surprised when he saw the goat skin scroll in the bundle. after a moment of hesitation he took a roll of goat skin that looks very worn. when unfurled looks a lot of writing and pictures of clay pots. above it is written 'The Secret Instructions of the Inner Energy Enhancing Potion And Panca Indera.!'

''Is this not the target of the Yellow Devil Picak Buntelan.?'' Pranacitra did not have time to think far because his eyes saw a striated piece of batik cloth inside there. ''It feels like Srianah deliberately left the batik cloth striated with her head fastener, is this all for me.?''

His lips quivered when he saw a line of writing on the batik cloth.

''You have to live on, because somewhere there is a girl of child pickpocket and ugly who is always waiting for you.!''

Whether when did Srianah write it. because the writing is in the form of stitches. whether when he meditated to regulate the energy in giving the Milky Way White Eyes, or even before.? he did not know, nor did he care, because the tears of newness had already come down to wet his cheeks. ''Such a ugly pickpocket girl., if anyone else dares to call you that, I can definitely go crazy and kill her..''

''Don't worry child copet., I will still be alive and will one day stand tall in front of you.!'' pranacitra shouted as he thrust his hand into the air.

The twilight sky suddenly turned dark.The black clouds and thunderous winds that rumbled accompanied the arrival of heavy rain. Pranacitra roared with rage.he hated the rain was also lonely. ''Come as you like the rain of thunder fucker, just spend all your water. I won't lose., I'll stay alive. Just look.!''

Once again Pranacitra stepped quickly following the instructions in the writing of the cloth. The pain that hit his left leg he did not feel. torn skin, flowing blood, the pain that flowed, the muscular vein that was pulled apart and the calf bone that was almost broken, was completely ignored.until at the end of the movement of the stance, his right foot swept as hard as steel.!

The whirlwind of energy waves rainstorms that water the earth.thousands of shrubs are swept flat with the soil wet by the rain. Pranacitra fell flat on the grassy ground.His soaked body felt weak to run out of energy.but he smiled with satisfaction, this young man knew that he had managed to master the Strange Steps of the Undead.!

Suddenly, he did not hate the rain. ''Today's rain feels different, quite refreshing to me.'' he muttered as he closed his eyes.
