JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
The Demon Kingdom Alas Roban

Alas Roban is a dense forest area famous for its awesomeness. In addition to being inhabited by wild animals that roam freely in the forest area of the border region of Pakuwon Banyuputih and Pakuwon Weleri, this forest also has something terrible.

In addition to Alas Purwo in the Blambangan region and Ceremai Mountain Area in the Galuh Pakuan Kingdom, Alas Roban is the three strongest places of stealth kingdom in mainland Java. Although there are also many other stealth kingdoms such as Forest Prohibition in the Kingdom of Jenggala and Nusa Kambangan on the south coast, but Alas Roban remains the three strongest stealth kingdoms that control the land of Java.

In addition to the South Sea Palace and the Kingdom of the North Sea, along with Alas Purwo and the Ceremai Mountain Region, Alas Roban becomes a counterweight to the tranquility of Java Island from the fight between other stealth kingdoms that are always fighting in the Java Island region. Although the South Sea Palace and the North Sea Kingdom had always been neutral and impartial, yet the eternal fight between Mount Ciremai and Alas Purwo always required a third party to mediate between them. And that's where Alas Roban's role as their mediator for thousands of years.

The current ruler of the Alas Roban Demon Kingdom is Prabu Simharaja. He has ruled the Alas Roban Demon Kingdom since the beginning of the reign of Prabu Airlangga. At that time, he had made a supernatural agreement with the first king of Panjalu to not interfere with each other's lives in order to create peace in the land of Jawadwipa. Prabu Airlangga gave the area of Alas Roban Forest as a palace for the demons where they are free to apply their world law in that place. While the demons are also not allowed to spread the angkara outside Alas Roban since then.

Prabu Simharaja has a thick body with white hair and a thick sideburn. In addition to his human form, Prabu Simharaja also has the form of a large white tiger that is scary. On his head was a beautiful crown with some beautiful jewels adorned. The demon king himself sat on a throne made of beautiful gold. A young woman with a beautiful face yet a sharp and frightening look in her eyes was seen sitting to the lower left of the demon king. She is the queen of the stealth kingdom of Alas Roban, Queen of Parvati.

Unlike most human empires, the Alas Roban Demon Kingdom did not have hundreds of courtiers. There were only two sons of the king's daughter, Prince Simhamurti and Goddess Simhakesi, who were twin sons of the king. Also the patih held by Dipamenggala and Senopati Srenggendra who led thousands of stealth soldiers.

On the day before that afternoon, when the entourage of Jaka Umbaran and the students of Katong Hill College began to enter the area of Alas Roban, a kind of earthquake shook the entire palace.

The shaking immediately made the entire Palace of Alas Roban in panic. Prabu Simharaja got down from the top of his throne and rushed to the outside of the palace.

"What's this about? Why is there such an unusual earthquake?", asked Prabu Simharaja immediately.

"Please forgive Gusti Prabu..

This seems to be caused by some people who enter into the territory of our kingdom. Do we need to remove them from our territory?", said Senopati Srenggendra who just emerged from the right side while respecting the ruler Alas Roban.

"Just do!

Get them away from our place. Wear all means, if necessary kill them", Prabu Simharaja said immediately. Senopati Srenggendra immediately saluted before humbling his body. All of a sudden his form had turned into a terrifying big wolf. He immediately jumped out from inside the Roban Palace. Hundreds of other werewolfs immediately followed the lead.

"Romo Prabu, I'd better follow Senopati Srenggendra. Who knows, my help is needed" said Prince Simhamurti while respecting Prabu Simharaja.

"Be careful my child, like this person is not an ordinary person because it can cause earthquakes in our place" said Prabu Simharaja as he raised his right hand.

"Fine Father Prabu", after saying so, Prince Simhamurti transformed into a large white tiger and immediately jumped towards the departure of Senopati Srenggendra and his wolf stealth soldiers.

"This forest why is it so quiet, Adhi Sadewa? From earlier I did not hear the sound of a single bird chirping in this place" said Jaka Umbaran while running his horse slowly treading the path that divides this dense forest.

"I don't know either, Kakang Umbaran..

I also felt a strange thing from the first time we entered this forest territory. Looks like we should stay alert to everything. I'm afraid that this forest is inhabited by many wild animals.

Everyone, listen to me! Stay together in a group, don't split up! This forest has a guardian!", cried Sadewa immediately. Everyone immediately nodded in understanding. They moved slowly and continued to enter the depths of this dense forest.

Suddenly...

Aaaaaauuuuuuuuuuwwww...

Oohaaawwwuuuuuuw!!!

The sound of the howl of the unpretentious wolf that made the atmosphere of the dense forest quieter it increasingly felt gripping. The longer, the sound of the howling of the unpretentious wolf felt closer and closer towards the group of Katong Hill School students. One of Katong Hill School students who was frightened, even accidentally saw something moving in the lush trees that surrounded a rather spacious place.

"Se-se-sergalaaaaa...!!!

There are wolves surrounding our place!!!", cried loudly the disciple who instantly caused panic among the disciples of Katong Hill School. In that chaotic moment, a wolf jumped high into the air and pounced on the neck of one of the Katong Hill School disciples who was on the edge of the group.

Chhrreeepppppppphhh..

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!

Heartbreaking loud screams were heard from the mouth of Katong Hill School students who were brought by Surtikanti. He was killed instantly after a wolf's canine tooth cut off his neck vein which caused his blood to spurt out.

From behind the thick trees suddenly hundreds of wolves with baring their canine teeth and drooling that continues to drip has surrounded the group of students of Katong Hill School. Yet all of them just surrounded the place without moving at all. While the big wolf who had just finished off the life of one of the disciples of Katong Hill College was walking closer to them. Suddenly, the wolf turned into a burly man with a mouthful of fresh blood with frightening red eyes.

"You better go back, don't continue your journey through this place. If you defy, the fate of all of you will be the same as that person" said the creature as he released his tongue on his chin filled with fresh blood.

"We are in a hurry to get to Kali Gung Valley soon. If we had to go back and take a detour, we would be too late to get there.

Please understand, let us pass. We have no intention of looking for trouble or doing anything that harms you", said Sadewa while bowing respectfully from the back of his horse mount towards the creature so-genesis which is none other than Senopati Srenggendra, the leader of the stealth forces of Alas Roban Palace.

"Huhhhhh, this is the rule in this place. Again, I remind you, come back. Do not cross this place before I act rudely to force you to get out of Alas Roban!", Senopati Srenggendra said in a threatening voice.

"Sorry Kisanak..

We're just passing by. Our business is urgent and it is no longer possible to turn around. Please take heart to let us through", Sadewa again bowed respectfully to Senopati Srenggendra.

"Hard-headed!!

Then don't blame me if I'm being mean to you. My troops, force them to retreat from our place", Senopati Srenggendra swung his hand and instantly hundreds of wolves that had surrounded the students of Katong Hill School immediately moved forward.

The hundreds of stealth wolves were several turned into human figures armed with claws and most of them were still in the form of wolves directly lunging forward towards the disciples of Katong Hill School. A fierce fight soon ensued between them.

Thhrraanggg..

Dhasshhh bhhuuuummmmm!!

In a short time, dozens of wolves had already been killed by the swords of the disciples of Katong Hill School. But some of Katong Hill School students themselves also died covered in blood by the safest wolves who attacked them like loyalty.

Senopati Srenggendra immediately jumped forward towards Sadewa, changing shape into a big wolf while opening his mouth wide to pounce on his opponent's neck. Sadewa immediately jumped down from his horse until his horse's neck immediately became a victim of the rapid ambush of Senopati Srenggendra.

Chhrreeeppppppppphhh...

Hiiieeeeeeeeeeeekkkhhhhh!!!

Sadewa's steed instantly collapsed to the ground with a gaping wound on his neck. The dark brown horse died covered in blood. After successfully killing Sadewa's steed, Senopati Srenggendra immediately charged forward towards Sadewa who had just pulled out his Dragon Taring Sword. They immediately fought fiercely by relying on their respective martial abilities.

Back then, Prince Simhamurti who had just come to the fighting ground, had only watched the fight between them from quite a distance away.

Jaka Umbaran immediately threw a hard kick towards the stomach of a wolf who tried to pounce on him from the left.

Dhhaaaasshhhhhhh..

Khhaaiiiiinggg!!

The huge wolf immediately howled loudly as it bounced far away and crashed into one of its companions who was about to move forward. Jaka Umbaran also quickly cast the spell Ajian Guntur Saketi until his palms turned bluish white due to the light that gathered there.

He quickly opened fire from the tip of his index finger towards a wolf who was about to attack Sekar Kantil from behind.

Claaaaassshhhh..

Brrruuuuuuuukkkhh!!!

Unwittingly by Sekar Kantil, Jaka Umbaran has saved his life by killing the wolf who tried to support him. After that, Jaka Umbaran immediately darted fast, rampaging towards the dozens of stealth wolves that were in front of him. One by one died covered in blood and instantly disappeared into black ash after being killed by Jaka Umbaran.

Seeing that, Senopati Srenggendra who fought on balance with Sadewa, snorted loudly. Then left Sadewa who had just receded back a few spears after colliding with him. He wanted to avenge the deaths of his troops who were massacred by Jaka Umbaran one by one. Immediately he swung his black hand claws towards the young swordsman's back.

Hhhrrraaaaaakkkkkkh!!!

Umbaran Jaka Shirt immediately torn wide on the back but he was not hurt at all. Senopati Srenggendra's sharp claws are not able to hurt his skin that has been coated with Ajian Bandung Bondowoso.

Senopati Srenggendra's eyes glared wide at the sight of it all. Moreover, when Jaka Umbaran twisted his body and hit his right hand that had been in Ajian Guntur Saketi. Senopati Srenggendra immediately put all his strength in his arms to defend.

Blllaaammmmmmmm!!!

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!!

The loud roar of Senopati Srenggendra was heard along with the bounce of the body of the leader of the stealth forces of Alas Roban Palace. His body hit the ground hard and rolled around several times before stopping. A dark green colored liquid flowed out from within his mouth.

Seeing their leader dropped by Jaka Umbaran, dozens of remaining wolves immediately jumped forward towards Jaka Umbaran immediately pounced forward towards the young swordsman.

Jaka Umbaran immediately turned both of his palms and stomped him upwards. A bluish-white light like lightning that struck instantly spread out in various directions and struck the stealth wolves mercilessly.

Blllaaaaaarrr blllaammmmmmm!!

Khhaaiiii....!!!!

The dozens of wolves immediately retreated in all directions. Although some are still alive with bodies full of wounds, but most died with charred bodies like being struck by lightning.

Senopati Srenggendra immediately rose despite being restrained. He held his chest which felt short of breath. Although he was already severely injured, but his anger was more in control of himself. He intends to pit his life with Jaka Umbaran on one last attack.

But at the same time, a huge white tiger appeared walking leisurely near the place of the fight. Behind him hundreds of demons of various types and sizes followed him. Senopati Srenggendra immediately bowed respectfully to the great white tiger.

"Worship of the servant, Prince Simhamurti", said Senopati Srenggendra immediately. Slowly the big white tiger changed into a handsome young man wearing a crown and white tiger skin covered the lower part of his body.

Mmmmmm...

"He's not your opponent, Senopati Srenggendra. He was the one who caused the earthquake at the Alas Roban Demon Palace earlier" said Prince Simhamurti as he stared intently at Jaka Umbaran. The inner eyes of the future demon king Alas Roban can clearly see that around the body of Jaka Umbaran there is a kind of magical protector that guards the young warrior from all dangers.

Hearing Prince Simhamurti's explanation, Senopati Srenggendra was stunned for a moment. He immediately looked towards Jaka Umbaran who was preparing to continue the fight with him.

"Did the Gusti Prince not look wrong? This young man is only 2 decades old.

How could he have such great power?", asked Senopati Srenggendra immediately.

Hearing the question, Prince Simhamurti smiled meaningfully. Although he looked like a young man of 2 and a half decades, he had actually reached the age of hundreds of years in the human world. He has spent hundreds of years trying to change his look into a human being and that also sharpens his inner eye.

"He is not just an ordinary swordsman, Senopati Srenggendra. There was something in him that was other than most people.

And I'm interested in trying it out.."
