The Lightning Dragon Knight

Chapter 51: The Journey

The next day, Rai and Raiden had been on the roof of the inn when the sun rose. They were waiting for Alvarez to explain about the royal contest.

"Rai, is it true that the person you mean has dragon blood?" ask Raiden.

"Looks so! But, I feel a little foreign to the aura of dragon blood it has!" reply Rai.

"Is he not a descendant of the Five Strongest Dragons?" asked Raiden who was a little confused by Rai's statement.

"Possibly so! It looks like he's here!" rai said when he saw Alvarez jumping from the roof of one building to another.

"Is he the man you mean, Rai?" ask Raiden while approaching Rai.

"Yes, his name is Alvarez! The Demon Hunter!" Rai.

"Demon Hunters? Incidentally," Raiden murmured, "Rai, follow what the man will say! And take her to Dragonland, I want to make sure of something before I'm sure of what I think!"

Rai nodded. He knew that Raiden had found the answer to his question and wanted to confirm the truth immediately.

Taps...

"Hi, Rai! Sorry I'm late!" alvarez said as he scratched his head that did not itch.

"It's okay! We just finished breakfast too! Oh yes, Alvarez is Raiden! This Raiden is Alvarez!" rai introduced.

"Well, can you tell me about the competition?" ask Rai who is impatient.

"Ah, that... You better come with me!" bring Alvarez.

"Where?"

"The place of execution of the contest!"

***

Taps...

"This is the place of execution?" ask Rai.

"Really! This is the royal arena! It is usually used for martial arts festivals and trials between fighters!" alvarez replied explaining about the arena in front of him.

"Then, what was your purpose in bringing us here? Registering us?" ask Raiden.

Alvarez just nodded then pointed the way to the registration counter which was not far from where they were.

It didn't take much time to get to the registration counter. Only, they have to queue for a long time because many people want to register, while the registration counter is only one.

After waiting for almost an hour, Rai and Raiden finally arrived.

"Welcome, Sir! You want to sign up for a contest?" ask the registration officer who was replied by a nod by Rai.

"All right! Name your name and age, sir!"

"Rai, 18 years old!" said Rai.

"Where did you come from and what level is your cultivation at?" ask the officer while writing Rai's self-data.

"I'm from the city of Lightning! My cultivation level... Immortal Emperor stage Master!" rai replied after a bit of thought.

The registration clerk stopped writing for a few seconds in shock at Rai's cultivation level.

"Th-this is your sequence number, sir!" the officer handed a wooden token bearing the number 48 to Rai who immediately took it without saying much.

'Age of 18 years but have already reached Immortal Emperor. Truly talented, ' the inner officer.

"Next..."

"Raiden, 37 years old! Origin of the city of Lightning! Immortal Emperor stage Master cultivation level!" said Raiden quickly.

The registrar daydreamed for a moment after hearing Raiden's quick words. However, soon he mastered himself and wrote down Raiden's personal data and handed him a wooden token bearing the number 49.

'The two people were strong, but also eccentric, ' the officer's inner self shook his head.

***

Rai and Raiden walked together towards the waiting room that had been provided by the committee.

Arriving there, the two of them instantly obtained sharp gazes from the participants.

Regardless of the gazes from the other participants, Rai and Raiden walked leisurely towards the empty seat, waiting for his turn to follow the contest.

"Welcome to everyone!" said the middle-aged man authoritatively.

"Include me Charles, king of the Dryscill kingdom! Here I will guide you to witness this endless competition!" said Charles.

"Over the past few years, no one has managed to defeat Prince Charlie and adventure in one of these other worlds!" continued.

"Well, without any more lingering! Let's start this competition!" said King Charles who was greeted with a roar of applause throngs who enthusiastically watched the competition.

Then, King Charles summoned the first 100 participants to enter the giant circular arena.

Rai and Raiden walked leisurely behind the other participants and placed themselves on the edge of the arena.

Shortly after, a black-armored man, landed right in the middle of the arena while shouldering a monstrous giant sword.

"Holy Emperor level Legend stage.." muttered Rai.

"Monster Shadow Sword?" Raiden muttered.

"Display, my name is Prince Charlie! I hope we can fight fair!" prince Charlie politely said.

Shortly thereafter, King Charles began the contest by activating a protective formation around the arena.

Right after the active protective formation, all the participants started attacking Prince Charlie in unison using their respective mainstay moves.

Seeing the number of attacks directed at him, Prince Charlie immediately put on his black mask and launched the first attack.

"Energy Eater Monsters!"

Prince Charlie, slashed his Monster Shadow Sword onto the ground violently until it caused a tremor that shook one arena.

Shortly after, a shadow of a large toothed monster appeared on the arena floor and absorbed the energy of some participants to make them droop helplessly.

King Charles then makes a portal under the limp participants, right after the monster created by Prince Charlie disappears.

Now out of the 100 participants who participated in this competition, there are 75 participants who are still standing on the arena with extraordinary shock.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop?" prince Charlie asked in a provocative tone.

Feeling provoked by the words of Prince Charlie, the remaining 73 participants immediately launched their strongest attacks.

However, all of those attacks were ineffective against Prince Charlie for having been absorbed by his Monster Shadow Sword.

"Because I did not ask for an attack contribution from you, then I returned all the attacks to you!" prince Charlie said in a friendly yet creepy tone.

"Reflection Attack!"

Prince Charlie raised the Sword Shadow Monster high with both hands. Then, a small blackhole suddenly appeared in front of the sword with dozens of strikes ready to return to its owner.

Swosh's... Swosh's...

DUARR... DUARR...

Explosions after explosions sounded above the arena. It generated a puff of smoke that filled the protective formation around the arena.

"With this result, it is announced, that today's competition is over and will continue tomorrow!" prince Charlie announced the results of the contest.

"Wait a minute!"

Rai's loud voice, made Prince Charlie a little surprised. He did not expect if there were still participants who survived his last attack.

"Oh, there's still something left, huh? All right, I'll clear it up in one strike!" prince Charlie said lightly.

"Oh, you want to clear us up in one strike, huh?" said Raiden who just finished finishing his tea.

"Why? Are you scared and just gonna give up?" asked Prince Charlie in a proud tone.

"Haha... You're a little funny, Prince Charlie! You shouldn't say that! Fear it will be you who have to lick your own saliva!" said Rai at length and then drank the tea he just poured into his small glass.

"Oh, really? Am I gonna lick my own spit?" prince Charlie asked in an increasingly arrogant tone.

"Looks like you're still sticking to your words, huh, Prince Charlie?" Rai then stored his tea drinking equipment inside the storage ring and took out the Sky Lightning Sword.

"You better get ready, Prince Charlie!"

"Because of you, will face all our strength!"
