The Shadow Dragon Warrior
chap 76 - The Hundredth Ladder
For 1 day ryuji put natural energy into his body and focused on his feet. That idea he got from zee ling one day ago. Ryuji, who was confused, was suddenly telepathized by zee ling and told him to use the natural energy in the soles of his feet. The goal is to minimize the use of ice wave style.
After the absorbed natural energy had completely circled around the soles of his feet, ryuji immediately tried to continue his test.
When he had just set his foot on the fifty-first step of the stairs, the heat from the lava was not felt. However, still the natural energy in the soles of his feet began to erode if treading too long. Ryuji immediately stepped onto the next step of the stairs.
In about a few hours, Ryuji felt that his natural energy was running out and he did not expect the test of hot lava to be heavier than the test of the gravitational field. Although the natural energy ryuji collected was quite a lot, but he was only able to step up to the ninth step of the stairs. And its natural energy has been eroded a lot.
"How's this? do I have to use ice waves? but if I don't try and stay here, my legs could be broken. How'this?" ryuji was confused.
Since his natural energy was exhausted, ryuji directly used his first ice wave style and stepped forward. Although it lasted 1 minute, it was enough to help him. Ryuji made it to the sixty-seventh step with his first ice wave style.
"All right! just go ahead, ice wave..!!!".
The second ice wave has been ryuji used. But what ryuji was worried about happened. The pace of the ice waves both melt faster because the stairs he passed was high.
P.s \= every 300 steps has a different exam. The first to fiftieth rung is a gravitational field test, and the fiftieth to hundredth rung is a test of hot lava that can burn the body (especially the legs). And every test, if the higher the ladder will be the higher the strength of the test.
"Damn!! the second wave of ice was only strong for about 40 seconds. Gotta hurry..!!" ryuji muttered beginning to worry about failing.
After the pace of the ice waves both melted, ryuji could only arrive at the seventy-third step. Because it is still capable, ryuji directly uses the third ice wave style and immediately stepped on because the third ice wave will melt faster than the second.
Some time, ryuji arrived at the eighty steps and the pace of the third ice wave lasted only 30 seconds. Ryuji wasn't sure it would work.
Ryuji immediately used the double ice wave style, which was stronger than the previous ice wave style. Ryuji combines thicker and stronger ice waves. However, it was his last ability to use the ice waves in order to have a little longer time. Ryuji ran to get up, but the eighty-fifth rung also started attacking his internal organs.
"Damn!! he also attacked the internal organs, the heart was very hot.... Aarggghhh.." shouted ryuji in pain.
Although the obstacle is arguably heavy, ryuji still stepped forward and ryuji has climbed the ninety-fourth step and the double ice waves that are his last move, only lasted 30 seconds. Meanwhile, Ryuji also used a light shield to resist the heat attack that penetrated his internal organs.
Ryuji imagines his bitter past, where he is always humbled and the defeat he has previously accepted. Ryuji felt he had to pass the test at the demon gate to be able to save the entire plains of the 6 continents.
"Sem. biilll.. lannn..tyh... tuujj... jujuuhh..., Seemm.. bbiill... annn.... pulluhh..... dell...llapp... annnn," ryuji said as he continued forward.
But when ryuji wanted to climb the ninety-ninth step, the ice waves had already melted completely. He also felt an incredible heat. The shields of light began to crack and the hot aura began to re-enter the internal organs of ryuji.
"ARRGHGHHHH...!!".
A loud shout from ryuji boomed down the tunnel in the cave. Even my frogs got annoyed hearing ryuji's scream.
My nail frog inside the mini fire pagoda ryuji did not feel any heat even though ryuji was also taken through the stairs.
P.s \= If anyone asks why ryuji does not use a fire pagoda as well so as not to burn? the answer was because other than eating power, the fire pagoda was not something that could be moved. Ryuji's mini fire pagoda is different from the fire pagoda he used to use. The mini fire pagoda could be carried by hand and put into storage, but the fire pagoda could not. So hopefully I understand :)
Ryuji, who has run out of energy because of using the ice wave and light shield, makes him unable to use high-level skills anymore. Out of worry, ryuji threw the nail frog that was inside the mini fire pagoda to the second resting place. Because ryuji was exhausted, the mini fire pagoda that locked my frog disappeared. Despite being free and free, my Grubby Frog is confused by ryuji's behavior.
"The boy is weird. He throws me so that I don't burn" muttered my raw frog in my heart.
Although ryuji's feet were already burning, ryuji forced to climb up to the ninety-ninth step. And on the stairs ryuji was unable to do it because his legs were so bad he could not even feel his legs anymore. His body had also been damaged from being attacked by the hot aura.
My raw frog who saw ryuji's determination, made him help ryuji. He spouted his saliva on the ninety-ninth and hundredth steps. Instantly, Ryuji's feet were not hot anymore and he tried to get up and advance to the hundredth step with the help of his hands.
Since the saliva of my frogs was also not durable, he used his tongue to scatter ryuji. Ryuji passed the second exam. However, he was already very messy. His feet were badly burned, especially on his feet. His body and his internal organs were also severely burned.
Mo ling who saw ryuji's condition, instantly made his medicine that could cure the fuel medicine. However, mo ling was a little worried about the burns inside his internal organs. Although eating his medicinal pill, it did not guarantee that it would restore his internal organs. Although he could, he would become a cripple and could not become a master of self-control anymore. Especially his legs that could be said to have no hope at all.
The three shadow dragons could only hope for a miracle. If indeed ryuji died then the shadow dragon science book would come out of ryuji's body. My raw frog who can't do anything - just stay close to ryuji.
