MASSHIAHSAGA - THE RULING OF THE SHADOW QUEEN

BOLSHOI PLAINS

Sultan Yazid sighed then stared at the herd. "We've got a lot of work to do today, guys" he said.

Do Quo smiled. "On duty, it need not be complained. We've chosen that risk since we left Najd."

Sultan Yazid returned his smile. "Thank you Do Quo." replied Sultan Yazid. "While you're not a resident of the Najd plains, you want to help me hunt."

"For me, a person standing in the Kangouw* code of conduct), seeking the balance of the universe is an obligation." said the man in the thick mustache. "As long as my Master still needs my energy, I willingly give it away."

"Ah, you said so in order to give the impression of a swordsman in Nagini's eyes. Isn't that right, Do Quo?" sela Havard with a mischievous smile then glanced at Nagini.

"You'd better not be impressed with him." he incited, "Do Quo is one of these men of seduction."

Nagini snorted ketus. "Just take care of your business." - The ideal.

Havard was forced to swallow his saliva to hear an answer that seemed indifferent and ketus it. Do Quo laughed at his companion while Selena furiously grabbed the young man's ear.

"What the hell are you?!" serang Havard.

"Not to tempt people!" snapped Selena ferociously. "Focus on the street in front of you!"

Sultan Yazid smiled again at the silliness of the young man in bronze armor. While Champa again mocks Selena who is tearing up because Havard is seen trying to intimidate the cold Nagini.

The trip was not felt because it was taken in a joke throughout the trip. They arrived at the intersection and then turned left towards the west. In just a few hours as the sun explored the sky in the twilight, they arrived in front of the Bhulgana Bull fortress gate.

Do Quo who always appears as a spokesman to advance his vehicle in front of Sultan Yazid. In front of the closed gate, on the saddle of his sabhr horse, the thick-moustached man looked up at the balcony railing of the fort and exclaimed using his inner energy.

"The mouth of Tel-Qahira came about to cross to the west of the plain of Dul-Gaddhar!!!" exclaim Do Quo loudly. "Please open the gate!!!"

Silence surrounds the atmosphere because the fortress is so high towering like a peg whose tip leads upwards. Shortly from the balcony guardrail, a face appeared staring at the five riders.

"Bhulgana Bull must not be passed, except at the favor of His Majesty, Zhou Pu Tuo, Hwang Shan*). Without it, we will expel anyone who tries to cross without permission!!!!" yell that guy.

Sultan Yazid from the back of his horse reached into something from behind his clothes and took out a thick piece of paper sealed with a red candle. He showed the paper to the man who was peeking out of the balcony railing.

"This is his information, Hwang Shan-Pu Tuo!!!" sultan Yazid shouted loudly. "Let us pass!!!"

Soon the giant gate slowly opened, listening to the sounds of rust powder rubbing against each other with the rocks of the veil that adorned the road.

From the gate appeared a soldier armed with a spear. He asked for a letter in the hands of Sultan Yazid. The green-clothed man stuck out his hand thrusting out a paper with permission to pass. The soldier turned around and brought the letter in.

Soon one of the soldiers showed up again and asked them to come in. Sultan Yazid then entered followed by four of his colleagues.

Inside the fort had been waiting for several soldiers in armor, escorting a soldier wearing the same armor, but wearing a long dark blue coat. He was wearing a helmet decorated with tassels. The man was Tio Sin Liong, a military commander in charge of securing the Bhulgana Bull fortress.

"I'm sorry if your legs seem to make things difficult for you, Mr. Imperator" Sin Liong said. "However our rank is the same even from different countries."

Sultan Yazid nodded. "We have to get across fast, because the fugitives we're hunting are probably also in the Bolshoi area."

"certain. But I will give you some advice." said Sin Liong then staring at the door across the street.

"Bolshoi, we often call it the valley of floating land" Sin Liong said. "There's some kind of magnetic-style mess in that place. The air around him was covered in an eternal mist. Maybe the haze came from a high concentration of sulfur and was under pressure from geothermal..."

"Thank you for explaining the topography." - Sultan Yazid. "We'll be careful from now on."

Tio Sin Liong observed the five men behind Sultan Yazid. He looked at the black-coated man sitting dashingly on the back of the rakhsh.

"Are you sure you're crossing that place without a guide?" sin Liong with a doubtful face.

Sultan Yazid smiled. "There's no need to doubt. We were able to cross the territory safely. May God always give us ease."

Tio Sin Liong nodded then looked at the two guards watching the gate across.

"Open the door!!!" he shouted loudly.

The two bodyguards swiftly grasped the doorknob and began to pull it with all their might. Sin Liong looked back at Sultan Yazid.

"Please cross..may your journey be facilitated.." said Tio Sin Liong with a firm tone.

Sultan Yazid waved his hand forward while pulling the reins of his horse. The six riders walked down a large hallway leading to the opposite door.

Arriving at the edge of the Bolshoi area, Sultan Yazid reminded his six colleagues to increase vigilance.

Tio Sin Liong has ordered the gates closed again. Sultan Yazid looked at the thick fog that filled the empty spaces under the floating earth.

"We do not know the depth of the abyss below" said Sultan Yazid. "Vigilance is the more important thing for now."

The six riders then carefully explored the floating lands. The most feared is the karkadan ridden by Havard and Selena.

The animal is not agile because karkadan is not a race animal.the creature is more suitable to be used as a transport animal because its physical ability is equivalent to brahman cattle.

The concerns of his colleagues turned out to be unwarranted. Although Bukefals (the name of the karkadan) is large in stature with skin as thick as dragon scales, but he is an animal born from captivity, not from the wild. The animal has been taught to jump as far as a horse can jump.

They jumped over the floating lands until they were crossed. But they stopped when they realized there was an object blocking the road.

Sultan Yazid squinted in order to clearly observe the large object blocking the road. Champa moved his horse to get close to the object. Before long he jumped.

"Wow..why can you?" champa was confused.

"Why Champa?" sultan Yazid asked while controlling the reins of his horse so that the rakhsh was calm.

Champa looked at Sultan Yazid. "This is Uendicho, a genetically modified creature developed by the Sigirlya people." he said.

"I know its history." said Sultan Yazid. "The creature was once used in great warfare when King Samiri of Gog, attacked Baalthazar Palace and laid out Temen-Ni-Zur..."

Havard and the others listened intently to the black-coated man's explanation.

"Emperor Uran leads the Ur-Salem army against King Samiri. King Sigirlya of Gog released the Dragon Tanihwa who dwells on Mount Pyrgo so that the creature rampaged to destroy the Tower of Temen-Ni-Zur guarded by the Seven Satria Gods." said Sultan Yazid.

"Then, what about the seven knights?" ask Havard to know.

"Six of them died." Nagini interrupted unknowingly.

Everyone looking at him made Nagini awkward. Champa asked with furrowed brows. "The other one?"

"I don't know." answered Nagini.

Sultan Yazid then stared at the creature's body. Selena then descends from Bukefals' back.

"It's likely that we'll have to climb this creature's body in order to cross next door" Selena replied and then touched the body.

Suddenly the ground shook and everyone was shocked. Their mounts became nervous and each tried to calm him down. Havard.

"Selena!!! Run here!!!" he shouted while extending his hand.

Selena ran away from the creature. While the body of the creature suddenly moved and then stood firmly, looking at the six people with flaming eyes.

GRRRRAAAARRGHHHHHHHHC....

Uendicho was growling. Sultan Yazid immediately took the spear of Pasak Bianglala followed by others who also unsheathed his weapon.

"It seems that this creature is harmless." cried Havard, but the young man still pulled the nodachi Kanesada from his back. While Selena was ready with an outstretched bow. An arrow was ready to be released.

"Just try to get close" Do Quo challenged in annoyance. "Please persuade him to get out of the way!!"

Nagini didn't wait long. He pulled the bridle making a geryon simultaneously neighing hard while lifting both legs and running quickly towards Uendicho. The woman had drawn her sword from earlier.

"Naig!!!" exclaim Do Quo who also drove his horse following Nagini.

"Conquer the creature!!!" exclaim Sultan Yazid raised Spear Pekak Bianglala up and then advanced to invade.

GRRRRAAARRTGGGH...

Uendicho growled again and shook his hand, about to slap the six attacks with a flick of his hand.

Nagini controlled the geryon so the animal jumped up the creature's arm. Nagini suddenly jumped and lunged while plunging the tip of her sword into Uendicho's body.

JEREB!!!! RRRAARRGGGHH....

The creature again roared and thrashed making Nagini thrown due to the creature's roar. Do Quo growled then jumped into the air and developed a hand.

"Start San Zhuan!!!" exclaimed Do Quo chanting his recitation while clenching his hands to the chest. Both of the men's hands glowed. Accompanied by a loud thundering cry, Do Quo swooped down and thrust his radiant palm into the creature's body.

YUMMMM!!!! RRRRAAAARRGH...

A huge explosion occurred and a moment later Do Quo bounced backwards. Fortunately, he did not climb the side of the abyss. Uendicho took a few steps back. The ground trembled every time he stepped.

Champa doesn't want to miss. He twirled his hammer stick and ran towards Uendicho who had not had time to straighten his body.

"Feel this!!!!" champa said as he swung his hammer to hit Uendicho's leg.

BUACHHH!!!! RRRRAAAARRGH...

Uendicho lifted his aching leg on Champa violently. The creature lost its balance and was about to fall.

"Great opportunity!!!" sultan Yazid jumped from a horse. While his body floated in the air, the black-coated man aimed his spear at the creature then let go.

SWIIIIIGGG.... JEREB!!!!

RRRRAAAARGGGH...

Spear Peg Bianglala stuck in the head of the creature. Maybe because of the annoyance of being attacked continuously. Uendicho then thrashed and suddenly turned his face towards his attackers.

"Awass!!!" nagini warned.

Suddenly the creature's eyes flashed a red glow and turned into a ray weapon that pointed at the six attackers.

JREEEEGG.... DUARR!!!!

It was fortunate that the six people instantly dodged along with his mount. The light emitted by Uendicho through his eyes only hit an empty spot and caused a huge explosion.

SWIEING... SWIEING... SWIEING...

DUARR... DUARR... DUARR....

Several times Uendicho shone his destructive light. Damn for Selena. The girl fell from the back of the car and due to the force of the weapon being piloted. Havard also leaped into the air then twirled his curved sword into the air and exclaimed.

"The Heaven Cloud Collector!!!" havard.

Nodachi Kanesada who swirled Havard into the air gave off a dazzling light and suddenly a thunderous thunder crackle sounded deafening. A moment later came the tongues of lightning that were partially fused with the curved sword that Havard was twirling in the air.

"Destroy the evil on earth!!!" havard clasped the handle of the sword tightly and then swung the weapon towards Uendicho.

A summary of visible energy mixed with lightning moved rapidly towards Uendicho.

GELEGUARR....

Lightning tongues hit Uendicho's body. The creature was cornered to receive the attack of nature. But he still persisted and stuck his hands out toward Selena deftly and grabbed the girl's body.

Selena screams in pain making Havard ride apoplexy. "Sat!!!" he screamed loudly and jumped in the air. Just when the arm that was grasping the girl reacted to gripping Selena so that the girl had difficulty breathing.

"Selena!!!" pekik Havard with a thump.

The man went berserk exerting all his compositions against Uendicho.

AAAAAAAAAKKHHHH...

Selena's loud screams blaringly filled all the territory's empty space.

"Selena!!!!" havard shouted again in despair.

Suddenly a unique event happened again. Selena's body in the creature's grasp scatters the light into a brilliant white that is more dazzling and then fills the entire space of the region.

Havard and the others, with the exception of Nagini, were forced to block his gaze with crossed arms.

BYAAARR... []
