The Lightning Dragon Knight

Chapter 6: Practice Tanding

Raiden only smiled in response to Rai's remark. Then, he returned to the activity he liked the most, namely sleeping.

"Raiden, is there nothing you can do but sleep?" ask Rai.

"No. Master Siegfried told me not to go out of the cave if nothing mattered. Because, Lucifer can still sense my aura within thousands of kilometers," Raiden replied.

"Cih, just say you're lazy," said Rai then sat down at the place he used to cultivate.

Rai took out the Soul Crystal from the Hell Poison Snake his storage ring and placed it before his body. Then, he tried to concentrate in order to perform the absorption.

***

Two weeks later,

The natural energy contained within the Soul Crystal belonging to the Hell Poison Serpent was exhausted. All of that natural energy had been absorbed by Rai and it was just a matter of time for him to go up the stage.

It didn't take long, a purple-coloured inscription shadow emerged from within Rai and re-entered. This happened three times. Now the cultivation level of Rai who was previously a Legend stage Immortal General, had risen to the Senior stage Mortal King.

"Raiden, can I get out of this forest?" asked Rai when she opened her eyes.

"should have. But, we will come out after you successfully train the Ice Illusion skill first. And as for the Dark Tiger itself, you better hunt when you are already at the Mortal King Legend stage just to make it easier to defeat it. Besides, I also want to take you out of this forest to be able to increase your strength without having to hunt first, got it?" Raiden.

"Hm... Alright. Then, now we're going to practice the Ice Illusion style?" tanya Rai was excited.

"certain. You were actually good enough when trying the first level of the Ice Illusion skill. But, it is still not perfect and will only be effective for your opponents who are below you or slightly above you. If your opponent is a level or two higher than you, you can only use that first level for thirty minutes" Raiden explained.

"Oh, so. When yesterday I read the book of Illusion of Ice, there were about five levels of skill" said Rai.

"The first "level is Muro de Hielo. The second level is the Prison de Hielo. The third level is Domo de Hielo. The fourth level is Mundo de Hielo. And the fifth level is Infierno Congelado" he continued.

"Does the five levels have different difficulty levels?" ask Rai.

"really. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to do so. In fact, people who had studied Ice Dragon admitted that they could only master two levels of all five levels. And only a few people could master the third level. It's just geniuses. Meanwhile, the fourth and fifth levels are only Ice Dragon and Master Siegfried is able to use it" said Raiden.

"Once, okay. How about we start from the refinement of the first level, Muro de Hielo?" said Rai.

Rai then took out the scripture from his storage ring and began to read it. After understanding the contents of the book, Rai then tried to practice it.

After twenty minutes of trying, Rai was finally able to make an almost perfect ice wall. And now he is meditating to restore his natural energy that had been drained.

"If it's done, let's continue with the second level of the Lightning Dragon Slash. You must be able to master it perfectly in order to be combined with the style of Ice Illusion" said Raiden.

Rai simply nodded and took out the Lightning Dragon Slash scripture and started reading the level 2 section. After finishing reading, Rai practiced the movements contained in the scriptures and sought a method to use them without absorbing too much natural energy.

After a few hours, Rai was finally able to use the level 2 style of the Lightning Dragon Slash without having to worry about the natural energy being drained away. Raiden gave Rai a short break to replenish his drained energy and stamina.

After resting, Raiden invites Rai to practice the match. However, this time Rai will not face Raiden directly. Rather than fighting a human doll containing the spirit of Master Siegfried.

Although only a puppet, but the spirit in it has a fairly high cultivation level. Namely, Mortal Emperor stage Professional.

"Alright, Rai. You'll be facing the doll for your opponent to practice your match. You can use any style" Raiden said.

Rai nodded then took out the Sky Lightning Sword and the Holy Ice Sword. Meanwhile, the puppet took out an iron spear that emitted a water element.

"Prepare, begin!" said Raiden.

Slash by slash. Puncture by prick. Step by step. Become their mainstay. No one wants to give up and no one looks defeated. They both draw almost in all aspects.

"Ice Field!" said Rai then stick the Holy Ice Sword on the ground.

Raiden's lifeless doll, trying to hold it by making waves. But, the waves of water immediately froze once exposed to the ice field and made the view of the animate puppet blocked.

Meanwhile, Rai was already moving by riding on those frozen waves. After reaching the top, Rai immediately jumped towards the doll. Sensing the danger, the lifeless puppet raised its water spear and made it its final defense.

Rai only smiled before disappearing and reappearing behind the lifeless doll's body. Immediately, Rai swung the Sky Lightning Sword he was carrying.

However, the attack could still be realized by the lifeless puppet and pulled its spear back to block Rai's attack.

Duarr...

The attack launched by Rai hit the water spear belonging to the lifeless puppet and caused an explosion that left the two of them pushed several meters away.

But, Rai instantly fixed his horses and darted towards the lifeless puppet while unplugging the Holy Ice Sword.

"Eightteen Lightning God Slashes!" said Rai.

He then swung his sword eighteen times until it created eighteen lightning bolts from the slash. The lightning light shot towards the lifeless puppet until it broke through its defense and made it bounce until it hit the cave wall.

Not wanting to waste a chance, Rai directly advanced and thrust out the Holy Ice Sword followed by a slash by the Sky Lightning Sword while muttering a stance.

"The Ice Freezer! Lightning Slash Lifesaving!" said Rai.

The prick of the Holy Ice Sword hit the belly of the lifeless puppet and made his entire body freeze. After which, the Sky Lightning Sword slash containing the purple lightning element successfully hit the chest of the lifeless puppet and made its body shatter into pieces.

"Done!" rai said after ending the fight.

"Good, Rai. Although I have not been able to see you using the Ice Illusion and level 2 style of the Lightning Dragon Slash, but the fight was very good and stunning. I was a little bit hopeful that your fight would be a little longer. But, it's okay. Because I got what I expected of you" Raiden said.

"Thank you for the compliment, Raiden!" rai then sheathed both of his swords.

However, when he was about to insert his two swords, Rai felt that there were dozens of auras outside the cave.

"Tens of people with the Grand Master stage Immortal General level and four people of the Mortal King stage Professional level," Rai murmured.

"It looks like we've got a guest, Raiden!" rai told Raiden.
