The Rise of the Bloody Queen

1500 years Saka

100 years have passed since the devastating battle between Earl Yoga and the Bloody Queen, many things have changed during the 100 years in the Javanese world.

Earl Yoga died with the collapse of the Semeru kingdom, which fell due to attacks by his enemies.

Now Mount Lawu, which is famous for its awesomeness by local residents, has turned into a quite busy area at the foot of the mountain.

Many villages have been built there, and most of the people's livelihood is farming and hunting.

This morning it was exactly 100 years since the bloody queen was buried deep in the belly of the cave, above the cave which had been buried deep in the ground, large trees had grown to cover it.

And many wild animals now occupy it, becoming a paradise for hunters in the surrounding villages.

"woof...woof...woof" the sound of a dog chasing could be heard in the quiet of the dense forest.

A flash of black shadow ran fast, passing several towering trees.

"Come on...quickly...chase the wild boar..." A scream was heard from behind the dogs who had caught up with the wild boar.

"woof... woof... woof... the sound of the screams from the dogs got louder, on the other hand, the pig that was being chased also became increasingly panicked because of the fierce pursuit of the hunting dogs.

"Come on... hurry up and follow them... don't be left behind," a 30 year old man wearing hunting equipment and long hair said to his friend who was still behind him.

"Wait a minute for me..." answered his friend as he continued running after them.

However, not long after, the sound of screaming was heard from the front, hearing this, the friends behind immediately panicked and tried to see what was happening.

"Ahhhh….help….

Help….. Joo…..help me….groaning in pain while holding his leg.

"Wait ... .Sarma ... .wait a minute I'll come down" Joo replied as he then started to search and look around to see if there was anything that could help him get down.

Until then, without realizing it, he saw that there were vines not far from there, after making sure that the vines were long enough to carry him down.

He did not hesitate to immediately tie one side of the vine to a tree and on the other side threw it down from the hole.

Descending slowly using the vines, Jo finally arrived right next to Sarma, who was currently suffering from pain in his right leg.

"Sarma, how are you?" Joo asked with concern.

"My right leg...it hurts a lot...it looks like it was sprained due to falling from above..." Sarma answered while still enduring the pain.

"Come here, let me see," answered Jo, then looked at Sarma's feet which looked red and slightly swollen.

"You're lucky, Sarma, it's just a sprain and I can help you heal it, hold on for a moment..." answered Jo after confirming that Sarma's leg was only sprained and he could help him.

"Hold on….I'll turn it….crack…." The sound of bones could be heard crunching from Sarma's feet.

"ahhhh….." Sarma screamed when he felt excruciating pain, but it didn't take long. Then he realized that his leg didn't hurt so much anymore.

"Great...you're great Jo...my feet don't hurt anymore" replied Sarma praising the skills of his friend Jo.

"That's good then it's not in vain that we've been training since we were young, right!!" Jo said proudly.

Only after the two of them confirmed that they were okay, did the two of them see where they were currently and were surprised to find that they were looking.

Currently the two of them are in a large cave, "this...a very big cave!!" Sarma said in amazement.

"You're right this is huge!!' Praise Jo too.

While looking around the sharp-eyed Sarma saw a skull hand at Jo's feet...

"Jo…Jo…look at that at your feet!" Sarma shouted to Jo.

And when he looked in the direction Sarma was pointing, Jo was shocked because he had now apparently stepped on a hand that had turned into a skull.

"hiiii...we are ready, what is this place??? And why is there a skull???" Jo said, reacting as he avoided the skull.

"Jo... don't be afraid it's just a skull, and look what's in the skull's hand... it looks like a ring!!!" Exclaiming in surprise and joy, Sarma said to Jo.

"ahh...is it true...let me see" took the ring that was attached to one of the skull's fingers, rubbed it several times on his clothes. Jo looked less sure, until he rubbed the ring on the sword he was carrying.

A happy face immediately appeared..." hahahahah... this is Sarma's gold..." said Jo happily.

"Wow... that's good, there must be lots of other things in this place," said Sarma, also happy.

"Hahaha sure, come on...let's look for it...soon we'll be rich..." Jo said enthusiastically.

Without realizing it, both of them changed when at the beginning they felt afraid of the place they found, and now only a few moments later that fear disappeared and turned into a feeling of greed to find the valuable objects in the cave.

Then the two of them immediately started searching carefully around the area in the cave where the more they looked the more they felt.

Because in the end they found several valuable objects again, but what they didn't realize was that slowly but surely both of them seemed to be being directed to a certain place.

Where in the end the two of them found another large hall in the cave.

"Look Jo, there's a statue of a demon monster there!!" Exclaiming in surprise, Sarma pointed to the front where the ruins of a statue of a demon monster appeared.

"Ahhh...you're right Sarma...but look...there's a coffin, it looks like it's covered by the statue," answered Jo again, saying further when he saw that there was a coffin hidden under the ruins of the statue.

"Yes...you're right...let's see" Sarma answered back.

So then the two decided to take a closer look at the coffin.

And only after they managed to get close did they clearly see the figure of the coffin, which now looked very scary with its jet black color.

Holding the coffin, they could feel the strong texture of the wood, and from there a guess immediately emerged in their hearts.

Until Sharma accidentally discovered a shiny bulge at one end of the coffin.

Intrigued by the shiny protrusion, Sarma tried to pry it open with the sword at his waist.

After successfully pulling out the object, to Sarma's surprise and joy, he found that the object that had been removed from the black coffin was a quite large gold nail.

"hahaha…this is gold…Jo…this is gold….we are rich…." Sarma laughed happily as he looked at the large golden nail in his hand.

The size of the gold nail is the size of a palm finger, about 10 cm long.

"hahaha..you are right Sarma, we will definitely be rich, and look at this side too...!!!" Laughing happily when he also got the golden nail on the other side of the coffin.

Without thinking, the two of them immediately pulled out all the 4 nails in 4 corners of the coffin, but what they didn't know was that the object inside the coffin was now starting to appear alive.

"Let's get rid of this stone statue and we will be able to see the valuable objects inside," said Sarma, again coming up with an idea.

"You're right Sarma, let's push this statue!!" Jo exclaimed excitedly.

" 1…2…3…the two of them, with the help of a large wooden stick, managed to topple the statue covering the coffin.

And impatiently, Jo... immediately opened the coffin... which turned out to be full of jewelry and gold.

"hahahah ... .Sarma looks at all these treasures ... .we are rich…hahaha…." Jo laughed happily when he saw the contents of the coffin.

But on the other hand, Sarma, who also saw the contents of the coffin, immediately became pale and frightened... when he saw the actual contents of the black coffin.

What he saw was a wrinkled old woman who looked very thin, with messy gray hair and tattered white clothes, her face was green and there were fangs on both sides of her mouth.

Looking down, the sharp blackish green nails appear to be growing in length.

Frightened by what he saw, Sarma subconsciously stepped back slowly from the coffin, and in a trembling voice called out to Jo.

"Jo….Jo….come on….let's leave this place…"called out in a voice full of fear.

But on the other hand, Jo, who heard Sarma's call, became displeased, suddenly a fire of anger filled his chest for no reason.

"Sarma, what do you mean, get out of here???

Are you greedy for this treasure??? Don't be like that!!!!" Jo's voice seemed to be a harsh rebuke to Sarma.

"No...Jo...you're wrong...it's not that!!!"

"Then what do you mean??? Why do you want me to leave here???...ohhh...I know you are greedy and want to control all of the moon???" Jo asked Sarma in a hateful tone.

"Jo...you!!! Can't believe what his friend said. Sarma felt annoyed and angry, just a feeling in his heart that he always felt uneasy.

So he made the decision to leave this place himself whether Jo agreed or not.

"Okay, if that's what you want, Jo, I'll go out by myself!!", Sarma replied in a cold tone and left the place.

On the other hand, Jo, who saw Sharma's actions, felt very angry and hated, he didn't understand what was happening to him, he knew he couldn't let Sarma leave this place.

So then he pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted for Sarma.

"You bastard Sarma….wait for me….here!!!" Angrily, Jo... immediately ran to attack Sarma using the sword he was holding.

"You're despicable Jo….you want to kill me!!!" Not believing what he saw, Sarma angrily pulled out his sword.

So then the fight was immediately heard in the cave.
