THE SUN GOD SWORD
White Line
Pramudhita began to feel doubtful about his current decision, he stared intently at Sungsang Geni, trying to see the lie in the young man's eyes, but nothing. There were no lies in Sungsang Geni's eyes.
"I don't know what to do? I can't just trust you, but..." Pramudhita breathed heavily. 'He didn't hesitate in the least when he put the sword on his chest, has this fellow gone mad?'
"There was a hatch that controlled his body to do evil" said Sungsang Geni, "He tried to fight it, but whether he killed me or escaped at that time, he said that his soul was dead."
Hearing those words, there were a few drops of tears coming out from the burly man's eyes. He desperately wanted to kill Sungsang Geni this time, desperately wanting to. His chest was burning every time he heard every word that came out of the mouth of the stranger in front of him.
But he could not blame the young man. If Sungsang Geni's words were true, and according to his heart were true, Pramudhita would not have killed Sungsang Geni.
"So why did you come to this place? Whatdoyouwd? There's no way you're coming to this place, if it turns out your job is still a lot out there." asked Pramudhita.
“To become stronger,” replied Sungsang Geni, “refine my sword technique.”
Pramudhita chuckled, she stepped out of the kitchen and walked closer to the lips of the wall while staring at the dead forest in the distance, “You want to practice the shadow sword technique?”
“Not. More than training. I'll take the shadow sword book in the crater of the mountain semeru.”
Pramudhita almost vomited blood from hearing Sungsang Geni's words. This was a crazy word he had heard, and also no one had ever intended to die swallowed by the turbulent crimson merapi crater.
“Stupid, stupid and crazy boy! Do not because I forgive your life at this time, then you can say as soon as your mouth.” said Pramudhita, wrinkles on his forehead become more than seen before. "So..say what do you want?"
“I wonder why you guys are scratching your forehead in white?”Sungsang Geni pointed at the line on Pramudhita's forehead.
“Do not change the topic of discussion, brash basis! I am the gatekeeper of the mighty Pramudhita, your attitude has tarnished my name!” And this line is a symbol of the inner power that we have.,” he said annoyed. His voice sounded hoarse as he yelled several times, "Why am I yelling?"
“Symbol! How can the energy in the symbolized by the line?” said Sungsang Geni a little surprised, “You guys in this place really look weird.”
“Young man, actually in this place you are the only one who looks strange.” said Pramudhita gave up on his frustration, “please I will explain a little about this symbol and also the book of the shadow sword you mentioned earlier.”
Pramudhita began to say calmly, the white line on the forehead referred to as the jule line, is a unit symbol used for shadow swordsmen to measure his inner energy. The more white lines, the greater their energy.
But not only that, the line is also symbolized as a straight path in this place. This line was actually made by the Irpanusa Rishis with the sap from the limestone trees and the spines of the steel salak trees that live only in this region, basically this is a tattoo.
The goal is that the person who has been given the line becomes one who is more devoted to the path of truth along with its growing inner energy.
It means that their line not only shows their own strength, but also as a form of control over their person. There's a sentence in this place that says, 'You're the one with a straight line on your forehead when you do bad.'
You could say, Pramudhita is a person who has a good personality visible from the line on his forehead. That was why he could not kill Sungsang Geni according to his lust.
The Irpanusa has an energy measuring device, a large, very magical mirror, named koco paisan. This glass is used to see something that can not be seen by the eye, can see missing people as well as objects far away.
When a person faces in front of a mirror, the unit of energy will be visible from the number of shadows reflected by the mirror.
As Sungsang Geni recalled, Yunirda could create 3 shadows when faced with him, if it could be measured, perhaps Yunirda's dark energy amounted to 3 jule.
The shadow in front of the mirror also showed how many shadows could be created when using the shadow sword technique.
1 Jule is equivalent to the energy of an unmatched swordsman with 2 open chakras. Two jule is equivalent to an unmatched inner power that opens 4 chakras, and 4 jule is equivalent to a swordsman who manages to open the entire chakra.
Sungsang Geni sure, if he had to face koco paisan then his inner power might only be 2 jule, because he could only open 2 chakras at this time.
“How do you guys get that energy in bulk. I see 4 lines on your forehead, meaning you have opened up your entire chakra?” sungsang Geni said in surprise.
Now that he knew why Pramudhita had not killed him, it must have been because the man had entered his mind with the chakra of ajna that had opened.
With the opening of the chakra ajna one will have more abilities, such as reading the mind, or seeing something invisible as Cempaka Ayu did. The girl could see the invisible wings that Sungsang Geni had created.
Pramudhita narrowed his eyes, saying Sungsang Geni was clearly trying to lure himself to tell him the most valuable information, which was the way they got their inner strength.
“Hah..” Sungsang Geni took a deep breath, “You won't tell me right? Because it is so precious, not only the shadow sword book but also the source of your inner power is very important to me at this time.”
“Why do you so want to be strong young man?” ask Pramudhita.
“Didn't I say to defeat the Demon Bats?”
“After you beat them? then what else are you gonna do?”
Sungsang Geni took a slow breath, he understood the meaning of Pramudhita's words. This is related to the desire of Sungsang Geni to control the world or not.
Pramudhita seems intent on testing Sungsang Gen. The extent to which the young man could be humble, even if he managed to have great abilities someday.
“I don't know what happened after.because I'm not the holder of destiny. But if I have to say, then today I will try harder, so that tomorrow morning when I wake up from sleep leaves no regrets.”
Pramudhita gave a small smile hearing it, no lie from Sungsang Geni's mouth.
“Energy in us comes from plant life energy in this place.”
“What?”
“You asked where our inner energy came from. We have certain techniques that allow converting the life energy of plants, animals and anything living into energy in.” Pramudhita said very seriously, "That's why the shadow sword technique is so terrifying."

If you are a new writer, it seems that fantasy will be lost in the rank list. Lucky LPN is always in the first position, so there is hope that readers put their hearts on the fantasy genre. Unek unek. Wkww.
