## **Chapter 9: The Dark Lord's Plan**

Lukman and Rahmat were now preparing to leave the city. Rahmat had found the location of the documents that could reveal the secrets of the Dark Lord and the 'Vivek Energy.' But this journey was not going to be easy.

"Lukman, we must head towards the ancient ruins in the north. But the path is extremely dangerous," Rahmat said seriously.

"There's no point in running away from danger. If we want to defeat the Dark Lord, we must face every challenge head-on," Lukman replied with confidence.

After several days of travel, they reached the ancient ruins. The place was desolate and eerie. Scattered stones and broken statues indicated that this was once part of a great civilization.

"There must be something hidden here. We have to look carefully," Lukman said, scanning the surroundings.

They discovered a cave amidst the ruins. The cave walls were engraved with drawings and mysterious scripts.

"These scripts are the same as those in the booklet. It seems this place was also part of that great war," Rahmat said while examining the inscriptions.

When Lukman brought the booklet close to the cave walls, the glowing scripts became readable on their own.

> **"Whoever seeks this power will either become its master or its slave. The Dark Lord's plan will succeed only when the Vivek Energy is completely destroyed."**

"So, the Dark Lord wants to destroy this power! But why?" Lukman asked in surprise.

"Maybe he knows that if this power remains under someone's control, his plan can never succeed," Rahmat speculated.

As Lukman and Rahmat ventured deeper into the cave, a terrifying roar shattered the silence.

Suddenly, the image of the Dark Lord appeared in the air with swirling black smoke. His form was enormous, and his eyes burned with a fiery red glow.

"Lukman... You have interfered with my plans. You don't even realize who you're standing against," the Dark Lord's voice was deep and dreadful.

"I don't know who you are or what you want. But I do know that I won't let this power be destroyed," Lukman replied with courage.

"Hahaha... Your confidence will be your downfall. This power is not meant for a weak human like you," the Dark Lord laughed mockingly.

Lukman created a shield of blue light with his fingers and shaped it into a barrier. But the Dark Lord's energy was so powerful that it shattered Lukman's shield, throwing him far away.

"Lukman! Are you alright?" Rahmat shouted.

"Yes... But this being is incredibly powerful. I need to focus my power even more," Lukman replied, struggling to stand.

Lukman closed his eyes and recalled the words from the booklet:

> **"Only those who understand power can truly master it."**

He calmed his mind completely and focused his energy. Now, his fingers began to glow even brighter. The light was no longer blue but turning white.

"Impossible! How are you controlling this power?" the Dark Lord said, enraged.

Lukman transformed his energy into a powerful sphere and hurled it towards the Dark Lord. The sphere grew so rapidly that the Dark Lord's image began to shatter.

"This is not the end, Lukman. I will return. And when I do, you will lose," the Dark Lord's voice echoed as he faded away.

"Lukman, you drove him away! But I'm sure he'll attack again soon," Rahmat said, worried.

"Yes, but now I understand that this power is not just meant for fighting. It has the potential to overcome any darkness. I have to delve even deeper," Lukman said firmly.

"So, what do we do next?" Rahmat asked.

"We have to study every page of the booklet. And also discover what the Dark Lord's true power is," Lukman replied.

Now Lukman faced a new question. What was the Dark Lord's real plan? And was he truly capable of destroying the 'Vivek Energy'?

Lukman had made up his mind that no matter what, he would stop the Dark Lord. His journey was far from over.
