The Shadow Dragon Warrior
chap 57 - Lost
After a few days, the weather was cloudy with a hail - a speck wetting everyone in the cemetery. The sound of crying accompanied the departure of the two continental leaders who were killed because of the battle. Everyone was saddened by the loss of these two important people who were very meritorious to guard this land. Meanwhile, ryuji who was missing and not even found his body even though he died, made elder hong think. Sunmy who had regained consciousness did not know what had happened during his treatment. After the funeral was over, the four continental leaders remained there and were talking about something.
"We must have an important meeting to find a replacement for the southeastern continental leader and the southwestern continental leader!" leader of the northern continent.
"You're right! we should better prepare the force for the next attack that might be more ruthless than it was a few days ago!" reply the leader of the eastern continent while glancing at his severed left hand.
"We must gather all the chief elders and elders of the college as well to discuss!" the leader of the western continent added.
"Alright," said the leader of the northern continent.
"Do we have to tell the things we experience in the spirit to the chief elders & elders?" ask the south continent leader.
"We better tell you what's really going on. Although if recalled, it was like a very scary nightmare" replied the leader of the western continent.
They went back to their respective continents and told all the heads and elders of the college to attend important meetings. As for the southeastern continent and the southwestern continent, summon their advisors for a meeting.
While elsewhere, hyung ming who took away the black-robed man was stopped because hyung ming who arrived - suddenly sprawled.
"What's hyung ming? hurry back to base! there's a lot of power for you. I'm exhausted from fighting and my strength is up" the black-robed man urged.
Suddenly hyung ming groaned in pain and he turned back into a human and his level dropped drastically into a late 5-star beginner level swordsman.
"What's this about? why am I being a useless human being? what exactly is my body?" hyung ming panicked.
"Damn it!! it turns out that the side effects of the drug are very dangerous, I have to convey to the other elders about this info. It's a good thing I didn't use it" the black-robed man said in his heart.
Suddenly the wind blew. His black robe was hit by the wind and made himself visible. With a pale gray-grey skin and long black hair up to the shoulders. And when his eyes were seen, there was a symbol of the number six. He was the sixth high-ranking member of the darkness organization. He is known to have the science of controlling the gift of the undead.
With his blood and human bones, he could create the undead as he pleased. Then after that, he would enter a spell that contained a high level of science. However, what is very dangerous is that he can raise the dead by taking the heart of the dead man, and then dripping his blood. Then, immediately the heart that has been mixed with blood will merge and form the undead of the owner of the heart.
A living corpse created from the heart of a dead person, would have the same ability while still alive. If he was a legend-level swordsman in ancient times, then when he was resurrected and became an undead, his strength was equivalent while still alive, that of a legend-level swordsman.
"Young ming! wakeup! we have to hurry to the headquarters of the darkness organization, your level problem will be cured soon if we quickly return to the headquarters" said the black-robed man.
"Well, I'll make you as strong as I can, what happens to you anyway? can't it move on its own?" hyung ming asked curiously.
"I can do this because of that nature reverb formation. The moment I was about to win against them, suddenly someone opened up the spirit realm and it made my stance unstable, just then the leader of the southeastern continent took the opportunity to attempt to seal myself. However, I managed to kill him first despite having to sacrifice both hands and one foot I sealed with the death of the goddamn southeastern continent leader, if you want to be clearer, I'll explain the story when I get to headquarters. I was so tired and in pain that both my hands and one leg were paralyzed" the black-robed man said.
Hyung Ming obeyed his words and swept them all the way to the headquarters of the darkness organization.
In a damp, cold cave, there was someone lying there. He was full of bandages. However, there was another man there who was burning a campfire and cutting vegetables, then putting them in a pot.
The man was tall, big and dashing. He might be the one who saved the bandaged man.
The next morning at the holy sword college, elder hong recounted the events that occurred at the moment after sunmy had lost. After hearing all of that from elder hong, sunmy started to get anxious because of the unknown ryuji where he was.
"Teacher.... Why should ryuji? he's not a bad guy!! why does it have to be like this?" sunmy said sadly.
"Calm sunmy! he's a strong boy, for sure he'll be fine. You better focus on recovering yourself!" elder hong said.
Actually, elder hong also felt uneasy. Upon hearing the story from the chief elder that ryuji was impaled right in his heart and hit by the ruins, elder hong felt that the chances of ryuji surviving were very small. However, not wanting to make sunmy depressed, elder hong kept telling sunmy that ryuji must be fine.
And not long after, elder yong came to the temple of elder hong. And suddenly elder yong knelt down in front of elder hong and kowtowed while banging his head very hard on the floor.
"I'm sorry elder hong..!!! forgive me...!! because of my stupid and greedy students, your students and some people became victims. I'm sorry....!!!" said elder yong who continued to prostrate while banging his head on the floor.
"Aduuduuduhhh.. wake up - wake up!! you don't need to be like that! this is called a disaster, everyone will not expect it either. Let's wake!" said elder hong felt bad about the situation.
After that, elder yong gave the prize to ryuji & hyung ming from the intercontinental tournament they won. Elder yong felt he had no right to accept hyung ming's gift because his disciple had betrayed him. So, elder yong gave a gift belonging to hyung ming to appreciate the services of ryuji who had fought against the enemy. After giving the gift, elder yong left.
