The Shadow Dragon Warrior
chap 4 - Taking lives

After the 3 days of training given by elder Hong, they met him to continue their next training. Upon arriving at Elder Hong's room they find a map of a forest on the desk of elder Hong and it turns out that the map is a map of the demon forest which is one of the abode of the supernatural animals in 6 continent.

"It turns out you guys have arrived, just now I want to wake you hahaha..." Laugh out loud - bahak.

"Yes our teacher has completed training with a science book that we have learned" said ryuji.

"Oh yes teacher.., what is our next training?" ask sunmy.

"You've seen it from here," said elder Hong.

"Did the teacher mean the map of the demon forest?" sunmy said while pointing at the map.

"Betull..your eyes are great too huh hahahaha...." Laugh out loud - bahak.

Finally, they gathered and elder Hong told the two of them to go to the demonic forest. Elder Hong told them to catch supernatural animals to be their partners, but to get magical animals is not easy it takes a struggle and even the spirit level alone needs a struggle to defeat them. There have been many warriors who have become victims to master supernatural animals. And they were given time to get one magical animal in 7 days.

The next day, they rushed to meet elder Hong. After meeting elder Hong, they were given a map of the demon forest and some food supplies.

"Teacher, aren't you coming?" ryuji asked.

"Based on your stupid kid going there to fight not for a family picnic. Why would I go with you guys.., I better sleep here and drink the most expensive wine hahaha....".

("It turns out that this parenting trait sucks just that no one wants to choose him as a teacher" ryuji complained inwardly).

"Oh yes.The magical animals there are levels, my magical animals are wind wing crows and lightning claw dogs, they are ranked 40 and 55. I got the wind wing eagle with great difficulty at the time 8 years ago. Meanwhile, the lightning-claw dog I got 4 years ago and that's it I'm still a little difficult to conquer, so you should look for the one at the level of 100 down so that maybe lucky is a little bigger," elder Hong said a little worriedly.

They also go to the demon forest the journey there is very far it takes 1 day. So, they've been there for 6 days. Once they got there, it was night and they set up camp for rest.

The next morning, they begin a search for magical beasts because their time is not much. They entered a deeper and deeper forest. It was unexpected that they found a lightning canine lion. This magical animal is at level 102 and its strength is in its fangs, if bitten it will be struck by lightning.

"Look at it looks like the lion is sleeping, what if we conquer him together," said ryuji invited sunmy.

"Alright I believe in you" said Sunmy confidently.

The two of them ambushed the lightning canine lion, but indeed the inadequate level of their ambush was dispelled easily and managed to make sunmy injured. Finally, the lightning canine lion left them and ryuji quickly treated the sunmy.

One day was wasted in treating sunmy wounds. Ryujipun could not stand still at last, he tried to enter into the dimension of space to ask for a way to conquer magical animals, but even zee ling there was no way he just conveyed that ryuji trusted with his own strength.

As the day begins towards night, Sunmy begins to awaken and sees that ryuji is ascetic. Then not long ryuji was finished doing ascetic and making vegetable soup for sunmy.

"Thank you ryuji you took care of me" said Sunmy.

"Look easy. Besides I made you this way, if I didn't tell you to come ambush the magical beast then you wouldn't be hurt like this" ryuji said regretfully.

After the sunmy has improved, they continue to look for supernatural animals. After 2 days of searching they found a nest of magical animals, a nest of water pandas at the level of 69. However, suddenly came one of the ten legendary magical beasts. Legendary magical animals usually have lived for thousands of years. And the magical beast that came to the water panda's lizard was the black fire phoenix that was level 8.

"Ryuji how is this? we can't fight supernatural animals above level 100, surely we will die" said sunmy fear.

"You take it easy, let's watch from here!" ryuji tried to calm down.

They observed the arrival of the black fire phoenix to the water panda. However, it turns out that the phoenix wants to kill the water panda to retrieve the young water panda cub. The battle was unavoidable - due to the faraway level, the black fire phoenix easily knocked down the water panda. A dying water panda gives her power to her son. After that, he died. And not long after that zee ling called ryuji.

"You sure? you I can't kill the first time we meet how can you conquer him?" ryuji was unsure.

"Based on you sassy brat, my death-ball style which I attacked you at that time was only 20% of the firepower, so you're lucky. If I use a fist of fire you're dead for sure".

"Like you, but how do you beat him?" ryuji was confused.

"You suck it turns out that your knowledge can even defeat the level of a final 5-star general" said zee ling confidently.

After that, suddenly, Sunmy pats ryuji and invites ryuji to save the water panda child.

"Ryuji.., how about we save the water panda cub and run away?" sunmy said.

"What if I distract the black fire phoenix and you save the water panda cub towards our resting place!".

"Are you sure?" sunmy was worried.

"Calm down, you just stay with me, yes" ryuji said with a big smile.

Finally ryuji fished the black fire phoenix away from the water panda nest. After ryuji leaves, Sunmy goes straight to rescue the water panda cub and takes him to the resting place they set up.

Ryuji continued running to lure the black fire phoenix away from the sunmy. However, suddenly the black fire phoenix took out its nurse and burned around the forest with its eternal black fire that can burn for 3 days and 3 nights and difficult to extinguish. Ryuji was trapped in a circle of immortal black flames belonging to the black fire phoenix, instantly ryuji thought of attacking rather than waiting to be reduced to ashes. Without further ado, he combined the new flaming sword and flame shield he had learned perfectly and tried to defeat the black fire phoenix.

"Rather than just being silent into ashes is better to try against you, if not try will not know," said ryuji brave the determination.

Just a matter of seconds ryuji bounced and crashed into a huge tree. He had already exhausted his strength enough to maintain the science of the smoldering flame shield in order to survive the eternal black flames that were so hot. He thought that this might be the end of him and felt that he was only bringing his life to the god of death. Unbasic - stale phoenix black flames hit the tubed ryuji - tubi. Ryuji tried to hold on with all his strength, but due to spending too much energy he fainted.

When ryuji fainted, the black fire phoenix extinguished his immortal black flames as it felt ryuji was already unable to resist. He tried to eat it, but zee ling came out of ryuji's body in a spirit touch and tried to negotiate with the black fire phoenix.

"You phoenix boy is great but you're just like chicken feathers in front of me, what if you were my protege?" zee ling said.

"Don't be arrogant you old dragon I'll kill you along with this kid".

"Alright please Mr. phoenix," said zee ling.

The black fire phoenix directly attacked zee ling but, it turned out that suddenly the black flame phoenix became motionless and bounced off it he felt there was a majestic light around zee ling.

"Who are you really an old dragon? you can be this great are you the spirit of a legendary magical beast as well?" asked the panicked black fire phoenix.

"I'm not on the same level as little animals like you. I was one of the 7 shadow dragons that conquered the 3 worlds".

"Appaaa.....? pardon the dragon lord's servant, the servant is already presumptuous and does not know who this dragon master really is," said the reverent of the black fire phoenix.

"Well, I forgive you if you want to be my protege and the magical animal of this fainting boy." Pointing ryuji.

"Good servant willing dragon lord." Accept with respect.

The black fire phoenix and zee ling entered into the spatial dimension of ryuji's. A few hours later he regained his senses and realized that a black fire phoenix had entered his body and was living within his spatial dimension. But he cares more about sunmy and the panda cub that sunmy brings. Without further ado, he hurried to their resting place.

It turns out they are safe and the panda boy likes sunmy, he also chooses to be a sunmy supernatural animal. They went back to the temple of elder Hong because their mission was completed even though they got it by luck.
