THE SUN GOD SWORD
It's More than Hell
Before all the objects became liquid, the sword watu Kencana sucked all the heat energy in Saka Palace without being separated. Making molten rocks like magma slowly thicken and then harden.
“Now have you eaten?” Sungsan Geni muttered with a faint smile on his lips, “It seems that you are full, I am still hungry. Aghk..sial, my whole body hurts.”.
Sungsang Geni carrying the sword watu kencana, now there was no more energy creeping into his body. It seemed, the sword was also running out of heat energy, and if he lived like a human perhaps now he was snoring.
Sungsang Geni glanced at the energy pathway that drove the Eldest Child's stealth, the objects in his path were huge and told the smell of a charred gosong. But the young man's gaze was fixed on the edge of the boundary of Saka Palace.
He thought that his attack would push the Eldest Child out of Saka Palace towards the outside world, piercing through the belly of the mountain. But it didn't.
There was another energy that limited Saka Palace to the Outer World, an energy that was so delicate and soft as well as clear but extremely strong. That energy formed a dome, with Saka Palace residing inside.
Sungsang Geni realized something, then he smiled bitterly. “Ya..this is the world of stealth, the World of the Unseen. Where there may be a exit from here, except through the gate Zambala.”
Sungsang Geni with a thin energy trying to find the Zambala gate while walking limping.
His presence now made him forget the road to the front yard of Saka Palace, where the Zambala Gate is located.
After quite a long time lost, he finally found another courtyard. Either this was the backyard, or the front or the side courtyard, but before the young man's eyes, stood the open gate of Zambala.
Sungsang Geni did not wait for long, he immediately rushed into that gate. And.
“Where is this?” The young man was stunned to see a very foreign outside world in his eyes, “This is not the territory of Tombok Cliff.”
His feelings when he came out of the Zambala Gate were different from when he entered. Very quickly, it did not feel any clear energy, or the colorful stars were swirling like before.
Sungsang Geni had intended to re-enter the Zambala Gate but after he turned his head back, there was nothing there except a large, hollow old banyan tree.
Sungsang Geni no longer had time to think long, which is when the condition of his body is currently no longer able to survive. He then fell flat on his back looking at the end of the tall banyan tree as if touching a cloud.
His vision began to swirl, and forced the young man into a deep sleep with burns on many parts of his body.

In the hours before, Mahesa and all the other rock-tombo warriors were startled by the shaking of the mountain across the gorge, where the Zambala Gate is located.
“What is the Red Lion Demon going out?” one of the soldiers was strangled, followed by another.
“True, it's a demon trying to get out!”
“This is bad, we will die today!” say the parjurits again.
“Sitence..!” Mahesa shouted, she was also frightened but not at the demon but at the condition of Sungsang Geni. “ Geni, What happened there? now the gate starts to close itself.”
“Prepare arrows!” said Reerintih, ordering his troops to aim for something that came out of the gate of Zambala or also aiming at the furnace there. Which is the most important, I don't know, Reerintih doesn't know which is the most important at the moment.
The gates of Zambala were closing, but their King did not leave the Zambala Gate. Mahesa stiffened her jaw, she clasped her fist with a quiver.
Now he started counting down from the number 10.
After the barada count at number one, there was no sign of Sungsang Geni coming out of it. Mahesa with her eyes closed, clasped her hands and said quietly, “Ending the furnace!”
The archers hesitantly rained down on the hearth with arrows carrying water from the bamboo tied to the arrows.
After the furnace died, a black fog began to creep over the atmosphere across the gorge. Until finally, the Zambala Gate was not visible, again covered in an illusionary fog.
Mahesa nodded, then said with a vibrating tone “True, she must be back. He still has a lot of unfinished tasks, I'll kill him if he's even dead in there!”

Sungsang Geni heard some voices from people who sounded busy with his affairs. The clinking sound of clashing plates, human footsteps, or perhaps animal footsteps and, the chirping sound of a woman to her child.
The young man had intended to see firsthand what was happening, but his eyes still felt reluctant to open, stiff and heavy.
He then only tried to feel his body now asleep on a bed filled with fine hairs. Sheepskin, maybe.
Sungsang Geni moved slowly his fingers, still my legs felt pain and a little thick. He was still trying to open his eyes slowly.
The first thing he saw was the thatch roof, although it was a little fuzzy but Sungsang Geni was sure he was now inside the hut.
According to the results of his hearing, this hut belonged to a mother and her naughty daughter.
“You've woken uncle?”
The sound of a little girl's voice coming from the right, Sungsang Geni tried to turn his head to find what the girl's face was like.
“Yes, I think you're up.” The little girl said again, “Aunt Indragiri, this young man is awake, Aunt...AUNTY!”
It turned out that his voice was not as bright as Sungsang Geni thought, slightly shrill, almost making his head hurt again.
A fat woman with the bestial hair and batik cloth wrapped around her body, walked in a hurry. He seemed annoyed to hear the screams of the little girl who might be in her 9s.
“Light debutor!” aunt Indragiri said while changing the compress cloth on the head of Sungsang Geni, “Ma’af this little girl's voice.”.
“Small Princess!” cut the girl.
“This little princess,” Indragiri continued upset, “Do you feel better, young man?”
“Yes, pretty good except all my joints feel stiff and pain.” Sungsang Geni replied, trying to move his entire body, but to no avail, there was only a ringing of his pale lips.
“You have been asleep for one week.”.
“One week over 3 hours, and 20 minutes.” The little girl who wanted to be called Little Princess again cut off Indragiri's words.
“Princess Sekar Arum!” Indragiri raised his tone, his gaze was sharp to the little girl, “If you have free time, it would be nice to help the people out there!”
“A grumpy waiter!” Sekar Arum grumbled then walked and slammed the door, “I will tell my father, to teach you a lesson soon!”
“I think he's pretty good, em..maybe his character is the..”.
“She is indeed a good little girl,” Indragiri continued, “It is she who always changes the compress cloth on the forehead, and washes your body every evening, just that...A little grumpy and stubborn.”
“Aunt Indragiri!” Sungsang Geni said, “Where am I now?”
“Where do you think?” Indragiri asked back.
“Entailah, but I'm sure this is not hell.”
“Not young," Indragiri stared meaningfully at Sungsang Geni then hurried to his feet, "This is more than hell. Rest up! you'll find out after your condition has fully recovered.”
