The Lightning Dragon Knight

Chapter 3: Start Practicing

After he finished collecting the Soul Crystals from the Black Fire Monkey, Rai immediately returned to the cave to absorb all those Soul Crystals. Now he was calculating the number of Soul Crystals he had obtained.

"49, 50, 51... There were 51 Soul Crystals including the leader of the Black Fire Monkey herd earlier," he said after finishing counting the Soul Crystals.

"Now, start absorbing those Soul Crystals. I suggest to absorb the Soul Crystal that belonged to his last leader. Because if you absorb it now, your body won't be able to withstand all of its natural energy. And it will also take a long time" Raiden advised.

"All right."

Rai then put down all those Soul Crystals, except for the Black Fire Monkey leader's. Then, he began his absorption slowly.

***

2 Weeks later,

After two weeks, all of the Soul Crystals that Rai had absorbed, were already almost depleted. Now there was only one Soul Crystal left that had not been absorbed.

It only took an additional thirty minutes for Rai to absorb the one remaining Soul Crystal. His body continued to give off an enormous aura of natural energy. It only took a few more moments for him to rise to a higher level.

Shortly after, a shadow of purple-coloured inscription appeared from within Rai's body then re-entered his body. This signified, he had managed to rise several levels higher. But, it's not done yet. Because the purple prasati shadow kept appearing as much as 3 times.

After finishing leveling up, the aura of natural energy that came out from within Rai's body slowly disappeared. Then, it was followed by Rai who opened her eyes. He put on a disappointed look, as his cultivation only rose by 3 stages.

"You why?" asked Raiden after seeing the look of disappointed face that Rai showed.

"Ck, my cultivation only went up by 3 stages. The one who was originally at the Junior Immortal Warrior level, is now a Master stage Immortal Warrior" Rai replied.

"Oh, that's normal. Because the Soul Crystals you absorbed were only at the Blue Mortal level. But, you should at least be able to go up as many as 5 stages" replied Raiden.

"Maybe because I'm hungry? Since the first time I came here about 1 month ago, I have never eaten anything" said Rai then moved from his seat.

"Where are you going? Hunting?" asked Raiden when he guessed where Rai was going.

"Yes, why?" ask Rai.

"No need to hunt. Coincidentally a few days ago there was a deer passing in front of this cave. So, I killed and kept the meat" Raiden said, taking the deer meat behind his body.

"That's what you want, please" continued Raiden.

"You, don't eat?"

"No. I ate the rest of my body a few days ago" Raiden replied.

"Alright," Rai replied and then prepared firewood to burn the venison given by Raiden.

***

After finishing the meal, Rai asked Raiden to train him and teach him some moves. Especially the moves of Lightning Dragon.

"alright. But, wear this too," said Raiden then pulled out a blue-colored sword.

The sword looks ordinary. In fact, the sword was made of frozen water, or in other words ice. Swords made of ice are rarely used. Because of its low resistance. After all, ice swords will melt faster when fighting in hot weather.

"This is the Holy Ice Sword. This sword was made from holy water and the ice breath belonged to the Ice Dragon. And the keeper is Master Siegfried" said Raiden, introducing the ice-blue sword.

"really. But, the sword I gave you is only special for people with lightning elements. Meanwhile, the Holy Ice Sword can be used by warriors with ice or water elements," said Raiden.

"But why did you give it to me?" asked Rai while looking at the Holy Ice Sword.

"Because you also have the element of ice. This Holy Ice Sword is also suitable to be used side by side with the Sky Lightning Sword," explained Raiden.

"Holy Ice Sword only needed natural energy to activate its power. Although the same, but the Sky Lightning Sword has a different way of working," continued Raiden.

"Sky Lightning Sword transformed natural energy into sky lightning. The sky lightning was able to change its color. Whether it's purple, blue, red, yellow, black or gold. It was all because the sky lightning was the holy and strongest lightning of all the thunderbolts. All the gods also agreed that the sky lightning was the strongest lightning. They gave a blessing to this lightning and this was the result, he could change its color according to the lightning element that the person was controlling. Even so, this celestial lightning had an enormous power. Hence, there was rarely anyone who mastered this celestial lightning. Except, the person holding the Sky Lightning Sword," Raiden closed.

"Oh, so. Alright. Let's practice now!" bring Rai.

"You have to learn this," said Raiden then issued 2 Books of the Sketch.

"The purple-coloured book is the 'Thrust Dragon Slash Step'. Meanwhile, the blue book is the 'Ice Illusion Path', Raiden said.

Rai just nodded then took the 2 books of the skill. Then, he read the Thunder Dragon Slash scripture. In the book, there are 3 levels.

Level 1 was a Purple Dragon Slash. Level 2 was the Heavenly Lightning Dragon Slash. And level 3 was the Lightning Dragon God Slash.

"Alright, we start with level 1, Purple Dragon Slash."

Rai read the instructions in the book. After he finished reading, he began to imitate what was written in the script.

***

After a few hours, Rai was finally able to master the level 1 of the Lightning Dragon Slash Force. Now he was training a match with Raiden to test his ability in using the Purple Dragon Slash.

"Use it now, Rai!" said Raiden.

"Little Dragon Fierc! Level 1: Purple Dragon Slash!" said Rai.

Suddenly a purple dragon silhouette appeared from the Sky Lightning Sword. As the name suggests, the dragon was surrounded by purple-colored lightning. Then, Rai swung his sword towards Raiden.

Along with Rai swinging his sword, the lightning dragon shot towards Raiden while shouting furiously.

Groooaaahh...

Boooom...

The explosion occurred after the lightning dragon struck Raiden's body and created a thick puff of smoke. After the puff of smoke disappeared, Raiden appeared who was still standing upright. But, when viewed from the ground that he had previously stepped on, it seemed like Raiden was dragged backwards several meters.

"Good, Rai. In just a few hours you can master level 1 of this style. But, this is still not perfect. You have to develop it again" said Raiden.

"Yes, alright," Rai replied as he reinserted the Sky Lightning Sword into his sleeve.

"All right, we'll end the training today. By mastering this style, you can fight warriors who are higher levels 1-3 stages above you," said Raiden ended the training today.

"Oh, yes. Raiden, why don't you call me mister? Didn't you say I was your master?" ask Rai.

"really. But, I will acknowledge you as my master if you have reached the Immortal Emperor level. So, quickly increase your strength if you want to be summoned by me!" said Raiden in a high tone.
