The Shadow Dragon Warrior
chap 28 - Mount Hajimoto
During the journey, Ryuji read the books of 12 swordsmanship techniques given by the clan leader. However, it turns out that swordsmanship is very different from the moves he has learned so far. Sword science really requires natural energy in order to give strength to the sword. Meanwhile, the sword style is fed by elements. But there are also those who train swordsmanship by coating the sword with elements. After walking for so long, Ryuji took a break. During the break, ryuji went to space dimension to retrieve the water dragon spear.
"Ryuji I want to borrow the water dragon spear to fight if there is a strong enemy" said ryuji.
"Well, I'll lend you. But don't get broken! because the spear wanted me to perfect it by asking the second brother for help to refine it later. And this is for you! there's no way you always carry a lot of stuff. Definitely heavy. So, I'm giving you my space ring so you can keep your stuff!" mo ling said.
"alright. Thank you, you know that I have a hard time carrying this furnace, clothes and spear" ryuji replied.
After obtaining the water dragon spear and the space ring, ryuji stuffed all of his items and continued on his way. Ryuji deliberately chose to walk because he did not want to be too flashy by using a black fire phoenix. Because now he felt his enemy was increasing in number. If he used the black fire phoenix surely the enemy could have seen him and attacked him.
As time went on, it was 5 days that Ryuji finally came to mount hajimoto in the afternoon. He first sought out the sword maker honjo masamune before going to the skull cave. Ryuji felt that person was no ordinary person either, it must be a forging there that is a great person because it can create a sword that is so extraordinary even though some of the sword strength comes from the steel fragments of weapons belonging to his second brother mo ling & zee ling.
When he reached Hajimoto mountain, ryuji felt that there was something strange about the situation with the mountain. The mountain was like there was no sign of human life at all. In fact, the life signs of animals are very small.
The moment ryuji wanted to climb the mountain there was a faint-like shadow coming at him. There was a person who came with severe injuries and looked like a government soldier that belonged to the western continent. It was like being attacked by a vicious demon.
"Too.. loo.. nggg... aa...dddaa... siluu... mannn.
After saying the words just now, the soldier immediately died. Ryuji directly checked the wound he had suffered. However, the wound this person suffered was like a sharp weapon and there was a scratch wound like a sharp thread scratched. Ryuji rushed into the mountain to check.
While walking for so long, ryuji stopped because there was an incident that made him want to vomit. He saw dozens of soldiers who were just like the one he had met outside the mountain on dying horribly.
"What the fuck is this? they died with broken arms and legs and were hung from trees. This demon is terrible. I must kill him with my hands!" ryuji was determined.
When ryuji wants to take them down from the tree. Suddenly, they seemed to get up and move. In fact, attacking ryuji blindly. Ryuji who was in trouble due to their very indiscriminate attack, made ryuji retreat for a moment from there.
"Damn! I don't understand how the bodies can rise and attack with broken legs and arms? they were like puppets controlled by something. I have to find a way to save them!" ryuji.
Because ryuji had not understood the situation, he went out of the mountain to bury the soldier he had met there. However, the corpse of the soldier had disappeared. In fact, ryuji was convinced that the corpse of the soldier was here before.
While thinking, suddenly ryuji remembered that on the corpse of the soldier there was a sharp thread scratch. Meanwhile, those soldiers had no one carrying weapons like sharp threads or the like. Ryuji immediately went back to the place where the soldiers were hanged and wanted to try the premonition he felt. Ryuji believes that they are controlled by a thread in order to move.
After arriving there, ryuji directly attacked their backside with a sword of fire and it turned out to be true, arriving - they did not move anymore.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the forest a demon realized that his toy was out of his control. He was upset and tried to flow more yarn to where ryuji was.
Ryuji, who had finished rescuing all the corpses of the controlled soldiers, immediately buried them and prayed for them to be calm there. As ryuji prayed, the thread from the demon shot out to attack ryuji quickly. Instantly, ryuji was hit by a scratch on the body because the thread was so fast and could not be detected.
"Again that thread! why can't it be seen and detected? is this demon very high in knowledge? then how am I supposed to look for that forger in this vast mountain?" ryuji said grumbling.
Since ryuji could not predict the direction of the thread's attack, he could only avoid it. Due to the difficulty, ryuji is again forced to retreat with a lightning bolt and find a place to hide.
Ryuji used his time to bandage all the wounds he suffered from the sharp thread. However, ryuji is unaware that he is already prey to the demon because it damages the toy. In an instant all the forest was wrapped in sharp threads so that ryuji could not go anywhere. The demon planned that when ryuji was hit by the thread he put on, the demon would instantly pull its thread to point at ryuji and cut his body with the thread he had in an instant.
Ryuji who felt that the opponent this time was very difficult, he did not move anywhere and just remained silent. Because his premonition felt he would die if he moved from where he was now.
Because it was a long time ago, the demon felt that the thread was already known to ryuji. The demon immediately pulled all the threads back. And instantly all the areas wrapped in the thread were immediately crushed cut - cut because the thread was immediately pulled back. Ryuji, who saw the trees in front of him cut off, felt his life was still protected by the god and because of his very high premonition he was still alive.
Instantly, all the areas around the mountain became bald because the tree was destroyed cut by the thread belonging to the demon. Ryuji could easily see around as the tree blocking his vision was gone. Ryuji immediately saw the demon not far away. He immediately moved towards the demon and instantly killed it by slashing its head. However, the demon was only a puppet he made from his collection of threads.
"I was fooled by that demon. He must be here" ryuji said, looking around.
Suddenly a voice appeared.
"Hahaha, welcome young man. You're great at surviving until now. If you can find me then you can kill me. I will accept it without fighting you. But, if you can't survive you'll have to accept being killed by me. Hows it? you take my challenge?" said the demon was challenging.
"Where are you a demon? show yourself if you're great! come fight me manly!" yell ryuji.
Instantly, ryuji felt that something was coming towards him so quickly. He also immediately looked for the direction of arrival. However, because so quickly ryuji was stabbed right in the stomach and crashed so far away.
" Uugghhhh... Damn where did this long spear come from?" ryuji said in pain.
Suddenly appeared a creature like a demon. However, his body was like a combination of several types of stealth and had no head. His hands were like the hands of a gorilla demon, his feet were like the feet of a tiger demon and had the tail of a scorpion demon. However, the strange thing about his body was the human body. The appearance of the demon made ryuji disgusted to see it. The creature was like the result of that stealth experiment.
Ryuji, who was injured, began to almost lose consciousness because it turned out that the spear that pierced him contained poison from the tail of the stealth scorpion that was in the strange creature.
