Queen Without Crown

Chapter 62 Golden Dragon

"Swiiiing! "

The knife thrown by the man shot rapidly through the air towards the nape of King Satria. When the tip of the knife stayed a few inches away from the skin of King Satria, suddenly the man lowered his head and bent his body down.

Then his right leg nimbly stuck up and kicked the bottom of the blade, making the blade turn in direction. With an agile gesture King Satria kicked the handle of the knife firmly.

"Swiiiing! "

"Jully! "

The knife quickly stuck to the owner's own forehead. The pelontos man collapsed instantly with a face covered in blood.

Then King Satria again hit the rebel soldiers who confronted him.

"Trang. trang.. ! "

"Bugh. bugh.. bugh..! "

Some of the soldiers who were hit by the sword fell. King Satria continued to advance with Emperor Haocun's forces urging the rebel forces to retreat.

Suddenly Eldrige came closer. It seemed like there was something the elf wanted to convey.

"Your Majesty. I sensed that there was magic energy in this palace that was ready to be raised to defend the palace from the rebels. "

"You mean some kind of protector? "

"Yes Your Majesty. "

"Then we have to meet Emperor Haocun. "

They then approached Emperor Haocun and took him to a sheltered place.

"There's something I want to say to Your Majesty." King Satria spoke seriously.

"What's wrong? "

"Eldrige said that he felt that there was magic power that could protect this palace."

"really? " Emperor Haocun turned to Eldrige.

"Right Your Majesty, I can feel it. Does Your Majesty know anything? " His red eyes looked towards Emperor Haocun.

"There's actually a legend about the mythical creature protecting Baiyun Kingdom."

Emperor Haocun sighed while looking at his two new comrades who were waiting for his explanation.

"You can see it everywhere as a symbol of Baiyun Kingdom. "

"I mean Dragon? "

"really. A Golden Dragon! It was said that the Golden Dragon could only be resurrected by the true leader of the Baiyun nation. But unfortunately, now the story of the Golden Dragon is only considered a fairy tale. "

"How do I raise the Golden Dragon? "

"In the story of the generations, it is said that there was a young man who called the Golden Dragon by pouring three drops of blood on the ground. That is all I know, even the name of the Golden Dragon is unknown. "

"All right, we'll think about it later. Tonight we should be able to drive the rebels out of the palace." King Satria.

They finally re-entered the fighting arena. This time their position was in the palace courtyard which was lined with shiny black stones. In the middle of the courtyard, engraved the image of the Dragon having five claws on each foot.

"Prince Chong? "

Emperor Haocun was surprised to see his uncle coming on his horse. His narrowed eyes stared coldly at his nephew. The smile on his lips resembled a terrifying grin.

"Give up, my dear nephew!"

"I thought it was my uncle who was behind this coup."

"You have a weak soul, nephew. The Baiyun Kingdom needed a strong leader so that this nation would not be denigrated by other nations. So surrender! I will send you to our ancestors without pain. "

Prince Chong jumped down from his horse. He drew a sword towards Emperor Haocun. Seeing that, General Shi immediately confronted. However Emperor Haocun immediately prevented, his palm holding down General Shi's chest.

"Let me take care of it. Trust me! "

General Shi nodded and invited Emperor Haocun. Emperor Haocun advanced, his hand holding a sword that touched the ground.

"I'm ready, Uncle! "

*****

Prince Chong took the first step. The man leaped into the air with his sword drawn towards Emperor Haocun.

"Yes! "

"Trangs! "

Emperor Haocun's sword, colliding with Prince Chong's sword. The two swords pushed each other with all their might from their owners.

"Sreeee! "

The two of them slammed back a few steps. Then it came back to attack each other with a motion hovering in the air.

"Trubs.. Trangs.. Trangs..! "

Prince Chong attacked in a row with extremely fast movements, his sword swinging like a flashing lightning.

Emperor Haocun was pushed back, his sword swing was a defensive move from the opponent's incursion. Countless times his body was hit by Prince Chong's sword slash, and his blood dripped every time the man moved his body.

Prince Chong was a smart and cold-hearted man. He was able to predict the opponent's abilities and maximize his own strength. Now he was just waiting for Emperor Haocun to run out of energy and destroy it.

"Goodbye, nephew! "

"Cras...The sreeet! "

Prince Chong smirked viciously. With a powerful strike, Prince Chong threw Emperor Haocun's body to the ground.

"Bugh! "

Emperor Haocun was helpless. Fresh blood gushed from his mouth. In his stomach, there was a deep incision wound. The blood that came out inundated his body and flowed through the scratches of the Golden Dragon image engraved on the palace courtyard.

His eyes were starting to dim, staring at Prince Chong who was coming towards him.

"I gave you the perfect death. Lookie! Your blood gives color to the symbol of Baiyun Kingdom."

Everyone who witnessed it was horrified and moved, even in the hearts of the rebel soldiers. Witnessing the slaughter of an Emperor was a very sad thing.

Right after Emperor Haocun closed his eyes, Prince Chong brandished his sword.

"Emperor Haocun is gone! The entire Baiyun people from now on must submit to me. I am your new Emperor!"

The triumphant cheers and screams from Prince Chong's supporters echoed in the air.

But before long, all eyes were wide-eyed because they witnessed something very strange. The blood of Emperor Haocun who was streaming through the scratches of the Golden Dragon image suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling golden yellow radiance.

The black stone floor in the courtyard of Baiyun palace shook violently like an earthquake. Even Prince Chong looked up at the black stones attached to the ground, suddenly scattering in all directions.

There was a very bright light trying to burst out from within the ground. Everyone held their breaths waiting for the appearance of something that must have been very big and amazing.

"Twoarr! "

A pair of reddish-yellow reptilian eyes peered out from within the hole. Then slowly a huge head came out. On top of that head were two long, fiery-red whiskers.

Then a pair of feet with large, sharp claws came out and stuck them on the stone floor. It made a very loud thumping sound. Then followed by a pair of hind legs that crept up to the surface.

The people who witnessed it instantly retreated in fear.

The creature then leaped into the air, showing off its long curved body like a snake. His scales that resembled gold coins, rattled as his body moved. And its tail, which resembled the tail of a cork, was wagging in the air.

"Golden Dragon! "

The king of Satria exclaimed in admiration at the majestic mythological creature. Although the King of Satria had a fear of snakes, yet he did not cringe at the sight of the Golden Dragon.

The Golden Dragon flew around the sky, as if it was stretching its body after a long time of being cooped up in the ground.

Then the Golden Dragon swooped down, towards Emperor Haocun who was lying on the floor and snatched his body using his front claws that resembled eagle claws.

Emperor Haocun's body was brought into the air then thrown by that Golden Dragon. But strangely the body did not fall and just restrained and floated in the air.

The Golden Dragon opened its wide mouth with sharp teeth and its forked tongue sticking out. There was a very bright light like the lamp of a lighthouse, coming out of his mouth and shining down on the body of Emperor Haocun.

For a moment the body was only still in the air, but a moment later the body of Emperor Haocun began to be seen moving and breathing again.

There were sounds of sighs of relief from the loyal supporters of Emperor Haocun.

Then, the pair of closed eyes of Emperor Haocun suddenly opened. All signs of life began to appear on the man. The Golden Dragon had successfully brought back Emperor Haocun from the gate of death.
