Journey of the Dragon

Chapter thirty three : Monster of the Emperors unity

 It was told that in the border area of the Nexus Kingdom, there was a fierce battle between the Gold One troops and the Nexus troops, the battle was so fierce that the stronghold of the Nexus border was almost destroyed.

 However, with the presence of the Great Knight Tomb Hayes, the stronghold of the Nexus Kingdom could still survive, the great Knight Tomb Hayes seemed to have the power to control the earth element, so he could easily throw large stones back from the enemy forces, and it caused the enemy troops to shattered, he also made they so desperate that they could'nt even move, because they feet were shaken.

 The great knight Tomb Hayes appeared to the center of the battlefield between the two camps, carrying a large bluish-green sword, which he kept behind his back. While walking casually, he hit and beat one by one the members of the enemy troops who tried to approach him.

 They all seem to have no chances to win against the great power possessed by the great Knight of the Nexus Kingdom. But as time went by, the number of soldiers of the Gold One Kingdom that had come to attack the great Knight, apparently grew more and more, because they think they can beat him with large number of soldiers, so they appeared and attack from all directions.

 But without saying much, the great knight Tomb Hayes immediately drew his sword, then he stabbed his sword into the ground, and immediately, there was an earthquake that was quite violent around the battle area. But the earthquake was only focused on the crowd of Gold One troops, who were around the Great Knight.

 The ground below them shook and continued to shake so violently, that made it difficult for the Gold One troops to even stand up and most of them fell to their knees, as the ground on which they were standing continued to shake incessantly. Then the more intense the shocks took longer and even made their catapult vehicles unable to stand stable, so that many of the catapult vehicles rolled to pieces and shreds, as a result of being tossed by the ground. The entire Gold One troops was completely panicked and inconvenienced by the earthquake that resulted from the Great Knight's sword, so they all became frenzied.

 The earthquake created by the Knights Tomb Hayes, grew stronger over time, causing destruction in the area where the Gold One Soldiers gathered. To the extent that it caused large cracks on the surface of the ground on which they stood, and it made the Gold One Soldiers and their entire armor fall into the collapsed ground, so that they were all buried by a large amount of mound Dirt.

 The Nexus Soldiers who witnessed that, began to cheer with joy, because they were watching the enemies who had been beat down by the great Knights of the Nexus kingdom with the strength of his earthquake. So that the Gold One troops finally decided to retreat and run away from the battle area. So finnaly, victory was won by the Nexus Kingdom. Thanks to the help of the great knights Tomb Hayes who were present and launched a devastating earthquake attack on the Gold One Troops, the Nexus Kingdom was finally able to beat back the opposing forces completely.

 They all cheered endlessly while praising the great Knight Tomb Hayes, who was still standing proudly, in the middle of the battle area that was previously filled with chaos and fierce battle. Then after pulling out his sword from the surface of the ground nearby, the great Knight was immediately approached by all the Nexus Soldiers who were very excited there, they flocked to give praise to the great Knight who manage to make situation under control, then the Great knight only smiled, but because the Great knight Tom Hayes were always nervous when receiving praise, so he started to shed cold sweat all over his face, because there were so many compliments that were received at that time.

 But soon, their victory celebration did not last long. Their cheers stopped at once because the presence of a mysterious figure, who came suddenly with great shock. Everyone who was there was feel surprised because the appearance of this mysterious figure was like a meteor that fell from the sky and then hit the ground so hard, that even made the area around it was instantly destroyed.

 The Nexus Soldiers who were still in shock, then panicked when the mysterious figure started walking towards them, or rather towards the great knight Tomb Hayes who was with them. So that the Soldiers began to retreat little by little out of panic and fear.

 At first glance, the creature's body posture looked like a human, but if you looked closely, it had a larger and more muscular body size compared to normal humans, coupled with its limbs that looked really terrible, giving a very dangerous impression to those who were see it. Its skin is gray like an elephant's skin, its left hand is a very large crab claw, its right hand is a kind of 4-pronged tentacle, and its mouth is also covered by a kind of tentacle, while its eyes are yellow with a sharp and threatening gaze.

 It seemed that the creature came from another place not far from this battle area, he jumped with great force, then landed right there to startle everyone who had been cheering, including the great Knight Tomb Hayes. The creature stared at the great knight with the lust of killing, then immediately the atmosphere there began to change again to become increasingly tense.

 "Th-that ... Is that??!" Said one of the Nexus Soldiers who were there.

 Then, the great Knight Tomb Hayes, continued the words of the Soldier. "Yes, There's no mistaking it, it's him, one of the Emperors unity members ... Hebi." Said the great knight Tomb Hayes with serious expression.

 List Members of Emperors unity:

 1. Gold one

 2. Merliana

 3. Heatless

 4. Hebi

 5. Night crow

 6. Grim claw

 7. Stellan flaur

 Hebi just growled while watching them all, as if he was holding back an overwhelming emotion. Then the Great Knights began to speak again.

 "We have bad luck today." Said the Great knight Tomb Hayes.

 "Why do you speak like that?" Asked one of the Nexus Soldiers who were there, feeling panicked.

 “As rumors have said so far, Hebi is the quietest member of the Emperors Unity and is rarely seen. So if Hebi shows his figure to us like right now ... That means we are in very serious trouble. "Replied the great knight.

 "But if the figure of Hebi is rarely seen, it means that no one knows about its characteristics ... So maybe the creature that is in front of us right now is not Hebi." Said one of the Soldiers.

 "He is exactly like the characteristics that always said by people who have seen his figure, namely a large body, clawed hands, and a tufted mouth. No doubt, he must be Hebi." The great Knight explained.

 "Then what now?" All soldiers began to feel scared.

 "Let's just fight together with the great knights." Said one of the soldier.

 "Stupid, we will only be burden for the great Knight." The Soldiers argued with each other.

 "You guys get out of here ... Run as far as you can, and don't look back." Said the Great Knight in a slightly whispered tone.

 "What?! B- but how about you?” The Nexus soldiers were worried after hearing the words of the great Knight, because they could not possibly let the great Knight face that creature alone. But after the great Knights Tomb Hayes urged them, they all decided to slowly retreat, then left the Great knight alone there with Hebi.

 Then the Great knight Tomb Hayes began speaking to Hebi. "You're Hebi, right? What is your purpose in coming here? … Did you come to support the troops of your comrade, Gold one? ” Ask the Knights to Hebi.

 While continuing to stare at the great knights with his sharp eyes, Hebi began to spit out sentences from his mouth. "Grrr ... I have no business with Gold One, I don't want to take orders from him or anyone, I only take orders from Master Darkros ... The last order from Master Darkros is, I have to raise and take care of my childrens who are precious to me ... But why are you humans always so noisy? Why do you always disturb the sleep of my childrens? " Said Hebi in an angry tone.

 "Your childrens? ... So you have offspring? How? " Asked the great knight, feeling confused, because he did not understand how Hebi could have childrens.

 "I am a male, I am a female. Either way is not a problem ... The important thing is right now I have to look after my childrena, but all of you humans are always looking for trouble with me and my childrens ... Even a long time ago, when one of my children went and rampaged in the west area, you the humans killed him instantly. Why? Why? Why do you humans always mess with me and my childrens? !!! ” Shouted Hebi, who was venting her anger, while roaring, causing the ground around her to vibrate, even the Great Knight body was pushed back. Because the waves from the roar of the Hebi was so strong.

 Then the Great knight Tomb Hayes spoke in his mind. ("Looks like Hebi has a nest not far from this battle area, so she always feels disturbed by the noise from the chaos that occurs in this place. And the peak, when I caused the earthquake earlier. It made Hebi's existence even more disturbed. ... But I was even more surprised when she said that she had childrens, it means she can reproduce herself. Plus that one of her children had gone on a rampage in the west area, is it possible that her children was a large creature with the nickname 'Monster Grood' who had shocked the land of Azhuloth for about 10 years ago? ”) Said the Great Knight in his mind, crossing his left arm to cover his face from the rock fragments, as well as to endure the waves of Hebi's roar.

 It seems that the great knight won't let this situation last long enough, he decides to start giving resistance to Hebi, because that's what Hebi wants. Hebi wanted to make vengeance with the person who had made a scene near her nest and made her feel distrub, so she came directly there, even though she had to leave her children (in the form of Grood monster seeds) for a moment in her nest.

 Without saying much else, the great knight immediately raised his sword, and aimed the sword tip at Hebi. Then suddenly the ground around the great knight began to shake violently and split open, after which the mounds of earth were lifted up into chunks of earth that floated above the Tomb Knights' heads and were ready to be thrown.

 Then the large chunks of earth suddenly rushed towards Hebi simultaneously, causing great destruction where Hebi was, and immediately the roar of Hebi stopped, because her body was being showered with chunks of earth. It impacted on her as well as ravaged the area around her. If an ordinary human, she would have died when she was hit by an attack like that, but Hebi is different.

 Hebi was still standing upright without being injured at all, even though she had been directly hit by a heavy blow, while the area around Hebi seemed to have been completely destroyed. The great Knight, seeing that his enemy was unaffected by his attack, felt both shocked and disbelieving. But he tried to reassure himself that the opponent he was facing was indeed no ordinary opponent, he was a member of the Emperors unity who also earned the nickname as the strongest being in the land of Azhuloth. But there must be some way to defeat the creature that is said to be really very strong.

 But suddenly, without giving any warning. Hebi darted towards the Knight with a very high speed, even the place where she stood was destroyed by the movement of the very powerful Hebi. Then she immediately swung his crab claw hand which were quite large, towards the head of the Great knight. Hebi intends to pinch and destroy the skull of the great Knight. But quickly, the great knight endured the impact of Hebi's claws using his sword.

The collision of the claws and swords, produced a wave that was strong enough to c***k the ground around them, even the place where the Tomb Knight was standing was crushed and destroyed as a result of the impact of the Hebi’s claw. So then, the Great knight immediately waved his sword, so that Hebi's body was pushed back and away from him.

 “Hmm… You are such a strong person that you can withstand the attacks of my claws, you can even push my body with your sword. It has been a long time since I fought someone as strong as you who could withstand my attacks like that. ” Hebi said to the Great knight.

 "Please, don't praise me." Said the Knight.

 "I won't let a strong person like you live, I won't let you leave this place." Hebi said while launching the next attack.

 Immediately after saying that, Hebi stretched out her tentacle arms, which extended rapidly towards the Tomb Knight. Then the Tomb Knight, who did not have the chance to avoid it, immediately got twists of the tentacle's hands all over his body, not only that, Hebi's tentacle hands also gave a very strong grip on the Tomb Knight's body, and it certainly felt very painful, like a lemon that was being squeezed by hand.

 But the Tomb Knight would not just stand still and accepting that, he immediately tried his best to be able to break free from the knot, until the twists were loosened, then when Hebi's tentacle hands wrapped around his body had become somewhat loose, the Great knight immediately swung his sword. upwards very strongly to cut the knot, until the hands of Hebi's tentacles are cut off.

 After that, the Knight immediately jumped as high as possible, until he was right above Hebi, then he intends to draw his sword at Hebi who is right below him. Hebi knows that the power possessed by the Tomb Knights sword has a dangerous enough strength for her, so Hebi is very wary of it. Because it seems that the sword has truly tremendous power, as well as greatly influencing the increase in the strength and abilities of the great Knights Tomb Hayes, who are becoming even stronger.

 Unlike the blows from the boulder that Hebi received earlier, such a thing would not have an effect on her body, but if her head was cut by the sword belonging to the Tomb Knight, it would be over.

So with alacrity, Hebi immediately avoided the s***h that was aimed right at her head. However, it seems that Hebi will not have time to avoid it, because the speed and distance from the s***h are already very close to her body.

 Therefore, Hebi chose to sacrifice his right hand, as a substitute so that her head would not be hit by the deadly s***h. With just a little shifting of her body, Hebi let his right hand cut off by the sword from the Tomb Knight, so that he could bring the rest of his body away from the Tomb Knight. The s***h from the sword even caused a large c***k to the surface of the ground where Hebi was standing just now.

 Meanwhile, Hebi, who had rolled away from the Tomb knight, immediately tried to stand up again, with her hand cut off in one side. Then suddenly something surprising happened, Hebi turned out to be able to grow her hand back, so that the tentacle hand that had been cut by the Tomb Knights, now changed to a new tentacle hand.

 The Tomb knights who saw that Hebi could regrow the body parts that had been cut, began to worry about the battle he had to endure. Because the hope of defeating the strongest being in the Land of Azhuloth, it seems even more impossible. But the Tomb Knight will not just give up, he will continue to fight against Hebi, by using all the strength and abilities he has to be able to defeat his opponent, who is the strongest being in the land of Azhuloth.

 A few moments later, Hebi immediately ran towards the Tomb Knight again, and vice versa, the Tomb Knight immediately ran towards Hebi, while preparing his sword to be drawn into his opponent's body. Meanwhile, Hebi prepares her pincers to grip her opponent's body. The two of them really had a very fierce and brutal fight there, because they were figures who both had tremendous power. The great knight Tomb Hayes fought against Hebi in an all-out battle, and their battle was marked by the destruction and massive damage to that entire place, the impact was truly fatal and no joke.

 Meanwhile, in Togu City, or more precisely at Togu City Hall. With a busy atmosphere outside because it was filled with many people who had escorted the Champion to the City Hall. Previously, Dragon had been paraded from Amritzer Stadium to the City Hall. Dragon's arrival there was to take the prize that had been prepared for the Champion, namely 500 gold pieces of money, and a letter of invitation to a banquet inside the Nexus Royal Palace.

 Currently, Dragon was sitting opposite the Mayor at his office table, Dragon's body was seen wrapped in bandages, which covered every wound on his body. He got these injuries from his fight against Gill which he had managed to win. Previously, even all the bones in Dragon's body felt crushed when he was in the arena, but his current condition seems to have recovered a lot, due to the healing from Melinda, who used all her strength to make Dragon's condition almost recover.

 So now Dragon can immediately attend the City Hall, without having to undergo a long treatment period first. On the office table, there was also a bag of money that had been prepared for the legitimate Champion to take from the Togu City Tournament. Not only that, Dragon and the Mayor also had small talk in the room. Dragon looked a little nervous because he still didn't think that he, who was just an ordinary person, could now sit in the Mayor's private office.

 Then when the handover of the money and invitation letter had been completed, the mayor also added some information to Dragon. "Congratulations, Dragon. Since you have succeeded in becoming Champion, and are entitled to all these prizes ... By the way, regarding the banquet at the Nexus Palace that you are also entitled to, soon there will be representatives from the Nexus Royal Capital who will come to meet you here. Their names are Gard and Riple, they are both the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Nexus Royal Capital fort guard troops ... Tomorrow, for a full day they will both accompany you, from starting to go to the Palace, until you return home.” The mayor said explaining.

 "Oh, yes ... Okay." Dragon said while gawking.

 Suddenly they were made a little shocked, at the presence of two people who will accompany Dragon to the Nexus Royal Palace tomorrow.

 "Oh, here it is ... It turns out you two have come." Said the Mayor to the two people who had just entered the room. They are both Gard and Riple.

Dragon looked a little stunned when he saw the arrival of the two of them, one was a man in white uniform and clear hair, his name was Gard. And the other one is a man who is slightly taller, in black uniform and has a hairstyle who stands up with black glasses covering his eyes, his name is Riple. The two of them are the ones who will accompany Dragon for the whole day to attend the banquet inside the Nexus Royal Palace tomorrow.

 “Congratulations on your victory, Mr. Dragon. Introduce ... My name is Gard Hoston, just call me Gard. And this is my Deputy whose name is Riple saint, you can just call him Riple, he doesn't talk too much, so if he doesn't answer your questions, please don't be offended ... As the Mayor said, from now on and for a whole day. tomorrow, the two of us will always be near you, to accompany and help you, so we will appreciate your cooperation. " Said Gard to Dragon.

 "Oke then, if it has to be like that ... So, what should I do now?" Asked Dragon.

 "Go home, take a shower, then sleep ... After that, tomorrow we will accompany you to the bank to deposit your money there if necessary, then at noon we will go to the Nexus Royal Palace."

 "No, I'm not leaving this money in the bank, my plan is to give all this money to someone." Dragon said.

 "Oh, you are very kind, write it down Riple." Said Gard who then told Riple to write it down, and without saying much Riple immediately took out a book and pen to note it.

 "Why did he write it down?" Asked Dragon.

 “Oh, this is nothing. It's just for our personal notes ... Because we really like to take notes on important things. " Replied Gard

 Then Dragon smiled, and he said in his mind. ("Geez, I met people who have strange habits again.")

 "Tomorrow, during the whole day we will always be near you, to accompany and help you of course so if there is anything you need right now, feel free to ask both of us, OK." Said Gard.

 Then Dragon spoke in his mind, (“Not only accompanying, but more precisely the task of the two of them is also to watch over me.”). Dragon said in his mind, then Dragon immediately responded to the words of the Gard who just now, "Okay then, let's go." Invite Dragon to the two of them, while standing up from his chair.

 "But before that ... We beg you, hand over all the weapons you have to us." Asked Gard to Dragon.

 Then, Dragon was stunned when he heard those words. He didn't expect that his weapon would have to be taken from him if he was to enter the Nexus Palace. If he gave up all his weapons, then how could he steal the Aporion ball inside Nexus Palace later. This made Dragon start to feel anxious and confused.

 Then Gard started talking to Dragon again with a serious look, which was a little scary. “After all, we are the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Capital Fort Guard ... Our job is to maintain tight security in the Nexus Royal Capital, especially the King's security. Therefore, we cannot allow any threat to the King. So please understand the request we submit, we hope you can tolerate the request. " Said Gard with a smile to Dragon. Then after Gard said this, inevitably Dragon had to give up all of his weapons, and that meant even more tasks for him, besides having to steal the Aporion ball, Dragon also had to think about the fate of his weapons.
