The Shadow Dragon Warrior
chap 61 - Destiny
After several hours of jumping into the sky, ryuji fell down and landed by hitting a large rock.
"Adudududuhhh.. It hurts so much! you old man...!!! why are you kicking me?" yell ryuji in pain.
"I thought you were going to die from my little attack" said Ryuji's grandfather.
"What little attack? obviously it hurts so much and my wounds are almost open again!!!!" ryuji shouted furiously.
"Here you go, you restore yourself first! oh yeah, this is your space ring. And your clothes were there, I saw in the ring a lot of good stuff, from whom?" ryuji's grandfather asked curiously.
"Before I answer your question, I want to ask you first about what happened" Ryuji said.
"Well, what do you want to ask?" ask ryuji's grandfather.
"Why is Grandpa here? and what about our family? and why did grandpa know I had a shadow dragon inside me?" ryuji asked curiously.
"Klan is fine, there's a hyoka guarding her. And you're stupid or what? you don't remember who gave you the dragon shadow science book?" ryuji's grandfather interrupted me a little.
"Hhmmm, I remember a mysterious man who gave me the book, and he left. Does Grandpa know him?" ryuji was confused.
"That's me stupid boy!!! basic no morals," said ryuji's grandfather while hitting ryuji's head in annoyance.
"Where is there!! you gave me that book? but....why did your body become so gallant, strong and charismatic as that grandfather? are you looking for another wife?" ask ryuji haphazardly.
"It's the result of clan-specific training when you're going to legend level. I trained the body to be able to hold the power of a very powerful legend, actually if studying the shadow dragon science book would be able to rise to the god level quite easily. However, I could not study the science book. Therefore, I strengthened my physique to the extreme in order to be able to strongly receive the power at the legend level," ryuji's grandfather explained.
"But why did you have that science book? is the grandfather of a former professional thief?" ask ryuji plain.
"PLAKKS..!!".
"Basic brash! just so you know yes, the founder of our clan is ryuki lee. He was the one who defeated a god-level demon alone when 5,000 years ago, he was our ancestor. And you are his successor to become the next shadow dragon warrior. It was your destiny when you were born ryuji, you have to bear it!" said ryuji's grandfather patting ryuji's shoulder while getting carried away.
"Heh. Grandpa don't cry like that! I promise to protect our clan from danger, you take it easy, grandfather!" ryuji patted his grandfather on the back.
"I may fail to the level of legend" said Ryuji's grandfather.
"Why grandfather? do you have constipation?" ask ryuji.
Suddenly zhang lee opened his brown robe and saw his left hand rotting. It looked as if his hands were poisoned by something.
"This is because while training myself at the gate, I was not careful and was pierced by the needle of immortal poison there. I don't actually believe I can get out of there alive either. As I got out of there, my hands continued to rot and my tiers slowly began to fall. And when I wanted to return to the clan with my magical beast, I felt that there was a familiar power on the mountain of death. I went there and saw you being stabbed by someone who had dark air all over him. I want to help you, but I don't feel on time. I also waited for them to leave and I approached you and brought you to take care of you," ryuji's grandfather explained.
Ryuji was silent because of his grandfather's explanation. Ryuji feels useless to anyone. Even his grandfather alone had to destroy himself to protect the clan. While ryuji, lost the fight even though he has a god-level science book.
"Sorry grandpa! I'm too lazy to practice" ryuji said in tears.
"Please slash grandpa's left hand! otherwise all the poison will be all over my body" said ryuji's grandfather.
"No grandpa! how come? if I cut your hands." said ryuji refused.
"You want me to die rotting or lose one hand?" ryuji's grandfather asked.
Ryuji took out a guojian sword from within his spatial ring, then slashed his grandfather's left hand to the point of breaking. Ryuji fell down and cried because he could not save his grandfather from the poison. Ryuji was really hit by all the events that happened.
After the bleeding on the left hand, Zhang Lee closed, he talked to ryuji about something.
Turns out, zhang lee told ryuji to go to the demon gate. Zhang lee was sure ryuji would break through to the god level if he went straight there. However, the obstacles there are very difficult. No one has ever made it out safely and completely. Zhang Lee who was able to get out of there was a miracle despite also receiving something that would take his life.
"But grandpa... How about you? can you still live?" ryuji asked sadly.
"I am still strong enough to survive ryuji, because the poison has disappeared. Maybe I can go home and treat myself. And later I will call the poison master to remove the remains of the poison that is still left in my body" replied grandfather ryuji.
Ryuji steadied his steps and his determination to follow the orders of his grandfather. Ryuji has been practicing for a few days and trying to perfect 12 swordsmanship techniques. As for zhang lee, continue to observe ryuji and wait for his wounds to heal and he will return to the clan.
Time passed by a few weeks. Ryuji, who had grown stronger, began to prepare himself to go to the demon gate. But when he wanted to pay a farewell to his grandfather, ryuji was given two books of god-level science. The book was discovered by Zhang Lee when he was young and explored ancient ruins that had been destroyed by war. Zhang lee tried to study it, but the level was not enough for a god-level science book. He gave it to ryuji because his self-controlling science is a very rare and easy gift to study any science book.
"Take this science book! someday if there is time to study! your level has already risen to the level of an early 3-star master ryuji. I'm sure you'll be something useful for the entire continent later" said ryuji's grandfather smiling with satisfaction.
"Good grandfather, see you at home. Wait for me to return from the demon gate!" ryuji pamit reply.
After ryuji left, not long after zhang lee fell down and coughed - coughing out blood from his mouth.
"Uhukk. uhukk. It's time I left everything behind. Sorry ryuji.. grandpa can't see you again, good thing you cut off my hand, otherwise I might have died a few weeks ago," said zhang lee began to lose his breath.
Not long after, zhang lee began to close his eyes and he left the world for good.
