Three days have passed. Alvarez has returned to his former state. He can do his job as before.

Now, Rai, Raiden and Alvarez will go to the castle of the Lightning King which is in the city of Eternal Lightning.

Right now, Rai, Raiden and Alvarez were walking in the middle of the Orange Dragon city towards the connecting portal located at the back gate of the city.

Arriving there, Raiden immediately take care of registration and organize their destination city.

It doesn't take long for Raiden to take care of all that. When he was done, Raiden called Rai and Alvarez to enter the portal.

Alvarez, who was still traumatized when he first came to Dragonland, became a little hesitant to enter the portal that was only a short distance away from his body.

Rai, who was behind Alvarez, realized what happened to the person in front of him. Not wanting to wait for long, Rai sighed and then pushed Alvarez deliberately to make him enter the connecting portal.

"Based on a bad boy," Raiden murmured as soon as Rai entered the liaison portal with a happy face.

Bruck...

"Argh... Rai! You bad boy!" shout Alvarez.

"Mishey yourself slow!" cibir Rai's.

"Hey, you two! Already!" raiden looks like a father who is babysitting for his son.

Raiden looked back at his hometown meaningfully. He recalled his time with his family as a child, putting aside bad thoughts about the war that destroyed part of the city.

"I know what you're thinking, Raiden. We almost have the same story" Rai said, patting Raiden on the shoulder.

Raiden smiled at Rai then nodded his head. He then walked towards the castle of the Lightning King which was in the middle of the city.

It did not take long for them to arrive at the main gate of the Lightning King's castle guarded by two twin knights with each horn on the right and left.

"Who are y'all? Do you have any promises with the king?" ask the knight with the horn on the right.

"King? Ho... Who is the new king of this kingdom?" ask Raiden curiously.

"Our king is His Majesty Ryuu!" answer the left-horned knight.

"Ryuu? He's the one who's king?" asked Raiden in disbelief.

"Hey! No one should call His Majesty Ryuu without his title, except his teacher!" answer the right-horned knight.

"God! Then, who is the teacher of your king?" ask Raiden.

"The teacher of His Highness Ryuu is the Mahaguru Raiden!" answer the right-horned knight.

"Mahaguru Raiden is also our teacher and His Highness Ryuu is our elder brother!" connect the left-horned knight.

"It looks like I've become a respected here huh, Kenji and Kenzou?" said Raiden who instantly made the two knights surprised.

"W-how do you know our real names?" said Kenji, the knight with horns on the right.

"Really! All this time, everyone has always called us the Twins Horned Knights! The only ones who know our real names are our teachers and our brothers and sisters! Who the hell are you?" asked Kenzou, the knight with horns on the left.

Swosh's...

A radiance of aura came out from within Raiden's body. Surrounding him was like a rope binding his body. Slowly, the aura displayed a different figure of Raiden.

Raiden, who now has long black hair, is ponytailed with two large black horns. Then, several dragon scales also appeared on both cheeks as well as the back of Raiden's hand.

His clothes also changed like samurai clothes with iron plates covering the chest, shoulders, arms, abdomen, back and thighs. Coupled with two katana swords that are sheathed to the left of Raiden's waist.

Kenji and Kenzou who saw the change in Raiden, stared in disbelief and almost cried.

"Teacher!!!"

The two of them ran towards Raiden with happy tears. They did not expect that their teacher would not fall on the battlefield and reappear before them

"That's been thousands of years? Kenji, Kenzou! When you're 1560, aren't you ashamed to act like children?" asked Raiden who was replied with a headband by the two of them.

"Oh, yes! Where's Ryuu? I'm curious about the power of that brat!" said Raiden.

DUARR...

"Teacher!!!" Ryuu, who caused the explosion, ran to Raiden with his arms ready to hug.

Raiden smiled broadly as he looked at Ryuu for the first time in thousands of years. However, his smile turned into a savagery and was ready to hit Ryuu.

Duak...

"Based on a brash student! You dare to surprise your teacher?!" raiden snapped which made Ryuu bow.

"Here you go, let's go in!" take Raiden away.

***

Inside the castle, though,

Raiden, Rai and Alvarez walked slowly while admiring the beauty of the castle's luxurious interior.

The walls are covered with gold. Then, the floor is coated with marble with a long golden carpet. Golden throne with diamond decoration. And a gigantic golden sword statue wrapped around by a dragon behind the throne.

"I didn't expect you to make it to this castle, Ryuu!" praise Raiden.

"Well, this is all thanks to the teacher's training all along!" ryuu replied while scratching his back head.

"Oh, yes! Teacher, who are the two people who came with you?" ryuu asked who had noticed Rai and Alvarez.

"Oh, they're my traveling companions! Here, Rai! The one who found me in the hiding place! And he is, Alvarez! We met in the city of Centoria!" answered Raiden who was replied with a nod by Ryuu.

"Ryuu! Actually we came here with an important intent!" raiden said what his plan was.

"What is that, Master?"

"We want to access that secret room! This has to do with the rise of the 'Chosen One' and our revenge!" raiden said seriously.

Ryuu's originally friendly face turned serious after hearing Raiden's last sentence.

"What do you need, Teacher? The student will prepare it as quickly and as best as possible!" Ryuu.

"Good, you are my student! Alright, prepare three cultivation rooms, two awareness pools, access to the God's Portrait Pool and access to Lightning Mountain!" answer Raiden who was directly supported by Ryuu.

"Good, Teacher! The student will have it ready in 1 night!"
