*Chapter 13: The True Form of the Energy*
After the Dark Lord's demise, the monastery was enveloped in an eerie silence. The cold winds now felt gentle and soothing. However, Lukman's mind was not at peace. His eyes were filled with questions.
"Lukman, we've defeated the Dark Lord, but I think this is just the beginning," Lukman said gravely. "You're right. But it's also true that your power level has increased significantly. The power that can defeat the Dark Lord holds immense potential," Rahmat said with a smile. "I felt that during the battle, a part of my power was beyond my control. It was manifesting on its own. Can this power harm me as well?" Lukman asked anxiously. "Controlling the Will Energy isn't easy. It's not just based on physical strength, but on the depth of your soul. Your intention and faith are its most crucial elements," Rahmat explained.
Lukman opened the scripture again, determined to understand the knowledge hidden within its pages. The inscriptions on the pages now seemed clearer. > *"The Will Energy is not just for destruction, but for creation and protection as well. When used correctly, this power can safeguard not just you, but the world."* "If this power can be used for protection, does it mean I can use it for the greater good?" Lukman asked himself. "Absolutely! But for that, you need to understand it even deeper. And most importantly, you must keep your intentions pure and strong," Rahmat agreed.
The monastery walls still held secrets. Lukman noticed that the walls depicted not just scenes of war, but also of creation, healing, and protection. "Look, Rahmat. These paintings show how this energy can be used not just for battle, but for the welfare of people," Lukman said excitedly. "Yes, and it also shows that this power is granted only to those who keep their intentions clear and pure," Rahmat said.
Just then, a thunderous roar echoed from outside the monastery. Lukman and Rahmat immediately became alert. "What was that?" Rahmat asked nervously. "Maybe followers of the Dark Lord. I think they've realized that I defeated him," Lukman speculated. "So, it means they're after you now," Rahmat said worriedly. "I'll have to face them. But this time, I won't just fight for myself, but to protect this power," Lukman resolved.
Several warriors clad in black stood at the monastery gates. Their eyes gleamed with hatred and destruction. One of them stepped forward and shouted, "Lukman! You killed our master. Now you'll pay the price!" "If your master was so powerful, he should have defeated me with his own strength. But now, this power is mine, and I won't let it fall into the wrong hands," Lukman said firmly.
Lukman focused his energy and raised his hands. A massive wall of golden light stood between him and the enemies. "Your shield won't stop us," a warrior sneered, unleashing dark energy arrows. Lukman created a wave of energy that halted the arrows mid-air. "If you think your dark energy is more powerful than my Will Energy, that's your biggest mistake," Lukman said in a thunderous voice.
However, the enemies' numbers kept increasing. Every time Lukman defeated one warrior, two new ones appeared. Lukman recalled the scripture's teachings. He understood that he shouldn't rely solely on his power, but unite it with his soul and intentions. "Use the Will Energy for creation and protection. That's its true purpose," Lukman said, intensifying his energy.
Lukman concentrated all his power and unleashed a colossal energy explosion. The blast was so immense that it scattered all the enemies. "Now I understand, Lukman. This power reflects your intentions," Rahmat said proudly. "Yes, and now I've grasped the true meaning of this power," Lukman said with a smile.
Lukman's strength had increased significantly. However, he now faced another challenge — to fully comprehend this power and use it for the right purpose.
