JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
The North Sea Demon

Jaka Umbaran immediately nodded in understanding. From earlier he did feel something else for the bridegroom who was handsome and dashing. At a glance Jaka Umbaran lamat-ambihat smell the aroma of pandan coming out of the body of the bridegroom who is getting closer to where they are.

"Gusti Prince, this is the future son-in-law of the servant. He is the son of Tumenggung Lasem named Tumenggung Antaka. His name is Raden Antakadewa", explained Akuwu Mpu Setyaki introduced this young man with a sturdy body.

The sturdy man immediately bowed respectfully to Jaka Umbaran followed by Rara Arumsari, daughter of Akuwu Pakuwon Watugaluh who would become his wife.

Mmmmmm..

"Congratulations to you both. Hopefully later after officially getting married, you two will live happily ever after" said Jaka Umbaran soon.

"Thank you for your prayers and presence, Gusti Prince. May Hyang Agung grant Gusti Prince's prayer for us", Raden Antakadewa said with a faint smile.

"What a polite young man. Akuwu Mpu Setyaki must be lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you.

Where is the bridesmaid from Lasem? I want to talk about some things with them, especially at Tumenggung Antaka", Jaka Umbaran looked at the invited guests present at the place. Raden Antakadewa was surprised to hear the words of Jaka Umbaran, but he quickly mastered himself. This did not escape the attention of Resi Simharaja who had been continuously watching the movements of the young man.

"Please forgive Gusti Prince..

Kanjeng Romo Tumenggung Antaka could not attend because he was carrying out the duties of Gusti Adipati Lasem. He could only send gifts to the family of Pakuwon Watugaluh Palace", Raden Antakadewa moved his hands towards the several burly men in the corner.

Those who numbered eight, advanced by carrying 2 large wooden crates that seemed to contain heavy items. It seems that eight of them are quite tired to carry the crates because some sweat grains appear to fall on their temples after placing these teak crates next to Raden Antakadewa.

Two people immediately opened the lid of this teak crate. When the lid opened, everyone's eyes immediately widened when they saw the contents in this teak crate. Hundreds of gold pieces, jewelry, pearl necklaces, elephant tusks and some ceramic jars that seem to be luxury goods from China look like piles of useless items in the big crate.

Seeing that, Jaka Umbaran immediately stomped his feet to the ground. Two pieces of gold pieces were pinned up and the young prince from Kadiri caught them quickly.

The inner eye of Jaka Umbaran cannot be lied to. The two pieces of gold in his hand were immediately visible as the young prince's palm opened. And this is not the gold kepeng that is generally used as currency in the Kingdom of Panjalu.

"It's not the gold kepeng of Panjalu Kingdom. There's a foreign letter on it. If you notice, this is the currency of the Kingdom of Srivijaya. I've seen him.

Tell me, where did you get this gold kepeng?", Jaka Umbaran's question suddenly made everyone surprised instead of playing. Akuwu Mpu Setyaki immediately grabbed the pile of gold pieces in the chest and immediately checked them. And it is true what Prince Mapanji Jayabaya said.

"Nakmas Raden Antakadeva..

Please answer honestly Gusti Pangeran Mapanji Jayabaya's question", added Mpu Setyaki while staring at the handsome face of Raden Antakadewa who began to look confused.

"Eh anu that I don't know Gusti Prince..

Kanjeng Romo Tumenggung Antaka just told me to take him as a wedding present for Dinda Rara Arumsari. The rest of the servants do not know about it" Raden Antakadewa said immediately.

"Look!! You're lying, young man!!

These are objects from various foreign countries that often come to Panjalu by sea. The ceramic jar is from China, the gold kepeng came from Srivijaya and the elephant tusks came from Siam. How can a tumenggung can have expensive items like this?", said Resi Simharaja who was impatient to unmask Raden Antakadewa.

Unable to dodge, Raden Antakadewa took a step back. Then prepare to face everyone in that place because his guise as the son of Tumenggung Lasem has been revealed.

"Yes, it is indeed an item from some foreign country. Then why can't I have it? Any problem with that?

In the North Sea, there are still piles of such objects up to a mountain in height" Raden Antakadewa challenged as he stared intently at his surroundings. The eight burly men immediately formed a posse around Raden Antakadewa.

The atmosphere of a marriage that should be sacred has now turned tense.

Ploookkkk ploookkkk!!

Jaka Umbaran clapped his hands while smiling triumphantly. Apparently it was not too difficult to unravel the secret of the handsome young man with just a few words trapping him alone.

"You said that in the North Sea, there are still piles of treasures like this. That means that you're not a human being, Raden Antakadeva.

Humans were unable to dive to the depths of hundreds of spears within the ocean. Now tell me, who are you? And what is your purpose in disguising as Raden Antakadewa, son of Tumenggung Antaka", asked Jaka Umbaran later.

Aware of being trapped by Jaka Umbaran, Raden Antakadewa grinned widely. He turned his head and instantly his face turned sinister. Her skin turned bluish black, her teeth were taper like the teeth of a shura fish (shark ) and she had no hair. But a crown of red jewels adorned his head.

Seeing the change in the form of Raden Antakadewa, Rara Arumsari immediately fainted instantly. Two parents and their mother immediately turned the beautiful woman's body towards Pisowanan Pendopo Pakuwon Watugaluh to be awakened. Meanwhile, everyone who saw the change in the form of Raden Antakadewa immediately took a long distance because they knew that the person in disguise was a demon.

"Shuralangi...

Shuralangi the shark demon was surprised to hear the talk of Resi Simharaja who apparently recognized him. Soon he sharpened his vision and saw the real form of the Simharaja Resi which was a large white tiger.

"It's worth my perfect disguise to be able to be dismantled easily. Apparently there was someone helping.

Simharaja, you old tiger, you better not interfere in my affairs. I will take Rara Arumsari to the North Sea to make her my wife" Shuralangi said later.

"That violates the nature and rules of the universe, O demon of the North Sea. Man is soul mate with man. Demons should be with demons too. It is a standard rule that must be obeyed by all the creations of Hyang Akarya Jagat.

If you insist on your stance, then I will never remain silent!", said Jaka Umbaran as he stared intently at Shuralangi.

"I don't care!

All I want, Rara Arumsari belongs to me. Which hinders my intentions, I will kill!", Shuralangi bared her terrible sharp teeth.

"Musty Prince, allow the servant to knock out the stealth teeth of this salted fish. Please pray blessing.", Gendol who had been holding back angrily because of Shuralangi's impoliteness to his master, immediately darted towards the shark's stealth while swinging a mace in his right hand. Jaka Umbaran who wanted to prevent Gendol's intentions, undo his intentions as soon as he saw how hard Gendol defended the dignity of nyam

Whhhuuuugggghhhh!!!

Shuralangi hurriedly imprinted the ground violently as a slash of Gendol's mace threatened his mouth. The shark's stealth body instantly bounces high into the air. Seeing that, Gendol hunts him down with the science of lightening his body.

As the two align, Gendol swings his twin mace rapidly and in succession to Shuralangi.

Bhhaaaaaaaaangggggggg bhhhaaaaaaaaanggggggg!!

Shuralangi had no chance of evading. This bluish black-skinned demon only repelled the onslaught of Gendol with both hands that had arm guards made of steel.

As soon as the two tracked the land, the eight followers of Shuralangi changed into their original form of 8 stealth seals. They immediately surrounded Gendol with weapons like long fangs like spears. Besur, Baratwaja and Resi Simharaja did not remain silent. They also immediately lunged forward towards the siege of these 8 stealth seals. The place that was originally going to be the wedding venue is now turning into a fierce battle arena between followers of Jaka Umbaran and followers of Shuralangi.

The shark demon also did not get resistance because the followers of Jaka Umbaran busy facing his followers. Seeing this opportunity, Shuralangi immediately shot towards Rara Arumsari Akuwu Mpu Setyaki's newly awakened daughter.

Rara Arumsari pale in face saw her future husband was about to grab her body. Less than half of where Rara Arumsari was, Jaka Umbaran appeared before Shuralangi and directly punched the face of this North Sea demon with all his might.

Bhhuuuuggh...

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!!

A loud roar rang out from Shuralangi's mouth. His body slashed far back and smashed into the yellow-furred torch pole made of bamboo. This penjor immediately collapsed and almost hit the invited guests who had pulled over near the palace walls. Shuralangi's sharp teeth fell out along with the blackish green blood that flowed out.

Miraculously, Shuralangi's teeth grew back as before. Like a shark, a tooth that dates will be replaced with a new tooth as sharp as a dagger. Jaka Umbaran seemed to gasp also saw it all.

Shuralangi immediately got up from the fall while rubbing the rest of her blood on the corner of her mouth. He just grinned broadly staring at Jaka Umbaran.

"Lumayan hard also blows you, young swordsman!

But don't get a big head first. This had just begun", after saying so, Shuralangi immediately shot towards Jaka Umbaran while throwing a quick punch berthsubi towards the young prince.

Bhhuuuuugggh!!

Jaka Umbaran faced the challenge by fending off every hit of Shuralangi with both hands. Upset by his endless blows completely useless against Jaka Umbaran, Shuralangi jumped towards Jaka Umbaran while opening the jaws of his mouth wide.

"Taste my bite, heh motherfucker!

Hoooaarrrrrrggghhhhhh!!"

Jaka Umbaran's eye bead aka Prince Mapanji Jayabaya glowed golden yellow at a glance before Shuralangi's sharp teeth grabbed his left shoulder.

Klllllaaaaaaaannggg!!

Shuralangi's eyes immediately widened when he saw his sharp teeth were not able to penetrate the skin of Jaka Umbaran. It was like biting a hard metal plate.

"This is your best strength, North Sea Demon?

Just like a mosquito bite!"
