The Lightning Dragon Knight

(Arc 3 : It's Time to Revenge) Chapter 53: Arriving in Dragonland

After a short, grueling fight, it was time for the announcement of the winner and the awarding of the prize by King Charles.

"Okay, happy spectators! After a long time since this competition began, we finally have the winner! We welcome you, Rai Tanaka and Raiden!" king Charles said, pointing to Rai and Raiden with a standing ovation from the audience.

Rai and Raiden walk up the stairs to King Charles' throne. Featuring charisma and charm each that makes many people like meeting the strongest swordsman in the universe.

Once in front of the throne of King Charles, Rai and Raiden kneel in honor of King Charles before receiving a gift of 100,000 Gold Pearls and the opportunity to adventure in another world.

After Rai and Raiden received a reward of 100,000 Gold Pearls each, King Charles had a servant take out a box containing 4 rings.

The four rings were a tool to open the dimensional portal to another world. In each ring, there is an ornament on top of it as the identity of the other world.

Like a ring that was ornate with dragons, it had the goal of Dragonland. Then a ring with an ice crystal ornament, connecting the dimensional portal towards the Magical Ice World. Ring with monster head ornaments, heading towards the Land of Monsters. As well as rings with Saturn's planetary ornaments, it connects to the Pseudo Galaxy World.

"Ray, Raiden! Have you set your goals?" asked King Charles kindly.

"Rai, are you sure? We can postpone our journey first until your cultivation reaches the level of a Senior-stage God," Raiden whispered furiously.

"Raiden, take it easy. I already know what I'm going to do. Although my cultivation has not yet reached the qualification to get there, but I have other plans" Rai whispered confidently.

"Other plans?" ask Raiden confused.

"You'll know when we get there" Rai said with a big smile, "We're going to Dragonland!"

King Charles smiled and nodded. He took the ring with a dragon ornament and wore it on the middle finger of his left hand. Then with a slight flow of natural energy, King Charles opened the gate towards Dragonland.

With a great effort for several minutes, finally the dimensional portal towards Dragonland opened. Rai then called Alvarez who had been waiting under the stairs.

Rai, Raiden, Alvarez stared at the dimensional portal with his own thoughts. Rai with the thought of increasing the power to take revenge. Raiden with his longing for his homeland. Also Alvarez who wanted to increase his strength to the level where he became an unrivalled swordsman.

Together the three of them stepped definitely towards a world that would probably make them different from now on.

Wuungdo... Wuungdo...

Swosh's...

Taps... Taps... Taps...

A dimensional portal opened up on top of the hill. Featuring 3 men, who just arrived at a foreign place. They are Rai, Raiden and Alvarez who are on an adventure to increase their respective strengths.

"Well... Finally after a century! I'm back in my hometown! DRAGONLANDERS! I'M BACK!" shouted Raiden happily.

"Haha... You're so happy, Raiden!" said Rai with a small laugh accompanying.

Rai laughed lightly at Raiden's behavior, he then turned his gaze towards Alvarez who was in a bad condition after passing through the dimensional portal.

"What's up, Alvarez? You sick?" ask Rai.

"No... I'm just... Hoek... I don't know why my stomach, head and meridians are not good" Alvarez replied.

"Oh, that's normal. Swordsmen with cultivation under the Senior Semi-God stage would undergo a condition adjustment. It is usually characterized by a slightly constricted flow of natural energy, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and muscle pain" explains Raiden.

"But how can you be okay? Isn't your cultivation also under the Semi-God Senior stage?" ask Alvarez.

Rai and Raiden stared for a moment then chuckled together, "You'll know in a moment, Alvarez. Now we better find the nearest town to rest."

"The nearest town from here is the city of the Orange Dragon. It's about 5 miles, we can get there in 1 hour if we fly" Raiden said.

"Well, but it doesn't seem that smooth" said Rai hesitated as he looked at Alvarez who was still sitting limp.

"Take him" suggested Raiden.

"But then he vomits again" argued Rai who did not want to see the vomit.

"Oh, I'm an expert if so. Wait a minute, yeah..."

***

Rai and Raiden are flying through the air carrying a rope-tied Alvarez. They were about to go towards the city of the Orange Dragon. Already half the journey they went through, just a few minutes left for them to arrive at their destination.

"Raiden, what should we do to Alvarez?" ask Rai who wants to normalize Alvarez.

"Actually we can just let it go, because his body just needs an adjustment. But it will take days for him with such a level of cultivation" Raiden replied.

"Then, is there any way to normalize it quickly?" ask Rai again.

"Can, if using Dragon Crystals. It will help to smooth out his meridians while strengthening his foundation" replied Raiden who instantly made Rai aghast.

"Dragon Crystal? Isn't that rare?" ask Rai.

"Hehehe... It might be rare for someone like you. But for one of the Five Strongest Dragons, I have an abundant stock of Dragon Crystals" Raiden said.

"Ah... Ja. I forgot that you're a member of the Five Strongest Dragon" Rai said, turning his face away.

"What's? You're forgot? Huh... Never mind," said Raiden sighing.

He then looked ahead and saw a fairly large city with peaceful and quiet activities of its citizens.

"We have reached the city of the Orange Dragon" Raiden said with a smile etched on his face.

Taps... Taps...

Rai and Raiden landed on a field not far from the entrance of the Orange Dragon city. Rai untied Alvarez's rope and carried him towards the deserted entrance, following Raiden.

"Please pass through the detection door before entering the city!" said a gatekeeper with an incision scar on his left cheek.

Raiden, Rai and Alvarez passed through the detection door in turn. After passing through it, a blue hologram screen appeared that contained the data of the three people.

Raiden, an 850-year-old Dragon. Rai, an 18-year-old human race with Unknown Special Blood. Alvarez, a 23-year-old human race with a Speciality Job.

"For races other than the dragon race, it is welcome to pay 50 Silver Pearls in the registration section!" continued the sangar-faced guard while pointing to the registration section.

Rai walks to the registration section followed by Raiden holding Alvarez. He then paid the amount of money requested by the officer.

"Is your friend sick?" ask the registrar when he sees Alvarez being carried by Raiden.

"Well... That's how it is," Rai replied signing something.

"What pain?" ask the officer again.

"Just not feeling well. It will take rest and adaptation" Rai replied, handing over the documents he signed.

"Oh, so. All right, here's a wooden token for you two. With this token, your natural energy will be detected by us. If you troublemaker in the area of the Orange Dragon city, we will detect it in no time, understand?" obviously the officer who was reciprocated was nod by Rai.

"Okay, enjoy your day. Hope your friend gets well soon" the officer said kindly.

"Thank you,"

Rai, Raiden and Alvarez went to enter the city of the Orange Dragon after registration. Shortly after they left, the rogue-looking guard approached the registrar and chatted with him.

"Gee... I haven't seen a human being for a long time who has Unknown Special Blood and Speciality Job" said the guard.

"Well... I was too. Roughly, Special Blood and Speciality Job what do they have, huh?" ask the registration officer while tidying up the documents on his desk.

"I don't know. But I felt something strange when I met them" said the guard.

"I feel it too. Especially that Dragon race man, I did not expect that he was 850 years old. I was 135 years old. Do not know what events he had experienced during that time," said the registration officer while supporting his head using his right hand.
