THE SUN GOD SWORD
Studying books
At the same time, Commander Ireng started shrinking his entire body. He begins to lose something of himself, that is, memories with people who were once friends or relatives.
He gawked loudly when his form became an ordinary wolf. But he stood by himself waiting for someone, even though he didn't know why he was waiting.
A person vaguely came across his memories, a human figure that left a mark on his black forehead. But somehow? He himself had forgotten that figure.
After the loss of the three holy crystals, the earth shook slowly, not too strong indeed but it was enough to make Sungsang Geni worry.
The young man ran over quickly, afraid that if only suddenly a mountain as roaring as it erupted. He was carrying a book of shadow swords, which he tied with a rope.
Then painstakingly climb the wall of the cave, through the roots of the frangipani flowers. So far the energy in the young man has not returned. He did not know why his inner power was lost, even though the three crystals had vanished.
After trying hard enough, the young man finally managed to get out of there even with a disjointed breath.
“Good!It turns out that my inner power began to return.” said Sungsang Geni, realizing his strength was recovering after coming out of the cave.
Sungsang Geni immediately flew away quickly leaving the mahameru peak towards the forest of life. But unfortunately, Sungsang Geni did not find any more forms of forest life.
Because everything has changed drastically. There were no more white and large glowing trees, nor was there any black fog in the region of the dead wood forest.
“What happened exactly?” Sungsang Geni wondered.
One of Sungsang Geni's clues was the fire energy he had placed on Commander Ireng's forehead, so that was why he was finally able to find the wolf still waiting near the forest border with the rocky soil.
Commander Ireng is now smaller than before, making Sungsang Geni overwhelmed with a sense of wonder and disbelief.
“Ireng? What happened to you?” ask Sungsang Geni. “Why are you..no, why has everything changed?”
Commander Ireng did not reply with a typical growl of his, he was even a little afraid of meeting Sungsang Geni so he retreated a few steps back with his head lowered.
“Didn't you remember me?” sungsang Geni asked, the young man now became worried. “I am your friend, why are you behaving so..”.
Sungsang Geni did not continue his words after realizing something. He now understood why everything had changed in a matter of hours.
“So the three holy crystals have pulled everything, including the magic in this place?” sungsang Geni. "And that happened to you, didn't it?"
The young man became sad, even though he intended to bring Commander Ireng along with him on his journey later. But apparently the intention became faded, because Commander Ireng had become an ordinary animal like a wolf in general.
“Go ireng!” said Sungsang Geni to tears, “The mark on your forehead will keep you from any threat, if you meet humans out there later, so remember that the mark on your forehead is a human gift anyway, so don't eat it!”
Commander Ireng growled for a while, until finally he jumped into the thickets of bushes, without sounding his distinctive growl.
“Be a good animal, maybe later your degree will be lifted by Sang Hyang Widhi.” Sungsang Geni said as he put his palms together.
It took several hours for Sungsang Geni to arrive in front of the Shadow Sword Sect. He did not intend to fly, in addition to reducing his inner power Sungsang Geni was also curious about whatever was happening at this time.
The return of the young man was welcomed by the Irpanusa Rishis and dozens of other warriors, including Pramudhita.
“You succeeded Geni!” Pramudhita. “You're back in excellent condition.”
“But not with commander Ireng!” continued Sungsang Geni, his face still looks sad. “She no longer recognizes me.”
Sungsang Geni nodded in understanding, then he opened the rope knot on his shoulder and handed the shadow sword book to the Irpanusa Rishis.
“You need it more young man!” said Resi Irpanusa with a small smile, “Learn first! Only then can you give it to me.”
“If so, may I borrow a place for me to study and also a place to practice?”
“Of course!” said Resi Irpanusa, “Pramudhita, interracial!”
***
Sungsang Geni arrived at a house farthest from the center of the Shadow Sword Sect. This place is on the north side and is located at the very end.
“This used to be a place where my brother and I practiced every day.” Pramudhita said. “Train hard! I'll probably visit you every week.”
“Thank you for all your help, Uncle!”
Pramudhita simply patted Sungsang Geni on the shoulder then immediately passed leaving the young man alone.
The courtyard of the house was quite spacious, it could accommodate about 100 people neatly lined up . Sungsang Geni entered the house and found several swords made of bamboo.
This reminded him of the exercises performed on the rock hill together with his Teacher Eyang, Ki Alam Sakti.
The young man then placed the sword book shadowing him on a table made of large pieces of shiny brown wood. Actually this house has long been unkempt, visible from many cobwebs on each side.
“Before practicing, I have to arrange this place first.” Sungsang Geni muttered, then hurriedly cleaned up the place quickly.
After feeling quite comfortable, the young man finally began to remove a knot that bound the book.
The first thing that feels in the palm of Sungsang Geni is, the material for making the book cover is the skin of an animal. Sungsang Geni doesn't know what animal skin? But clearly, the skin was very thick and gave off a distinctive smelling oil.
He finally started to open every page after page. Although very thick, but the book did not have many pages. There are only 100 pages.
Sungsang Geni can read every script written there quite smoothly. Some are like symbols but Sungsang Geni can still translate them.
“Although the age is hundreds, but the writing in this book is still awake.” said Sungsang Geni stunned.
At once he scrunched his forehead when reading interesting writing, not infrequently he stopped breathing so concentrated when reading.
Generally what he saw in the book were movements of the shadow style and brief explanations. There was nothing else but breathing techniques as well as life energy absorbing techniques he found on page 20..
But when he had managed to read 60% of the whole, now the fame of Sungsang Geni could not be hidden. This was the part that was not taught to the previous shadow swordswoman disciple.
“This technique, I can't believe there ever was!”
