Chapter 79 Dragon Knight (2/2)
However, remembering this dragon’s anger outburst a moment ago, he decided to shut his mouth and hid this thought in his mind.
“…… As for the third point, it is the Dragon Knights’ combat techniques! There is a huge difference while fighting and riding a dragon compare to when someone is on a horse or any other mounts. In order to coordinate their powerful dragon mount and display the greatest might they have as a Dragon Knight, many of the strongest warriors from the continent created a new martial art together. This allowed the warriors with the attributes of dragons to unleash their power to the fullest and these combat techniques were called as ‘%◎× * ‘ at that time……”
“What did you say? What was it called?”
Dora’s voice repeated in Shaar’s mind: “%◎× *.”
They were a number of ancient and long stretched notes.
Getting annoyed, Shaar asked angrily: What the hell are you talking about. Is it in the Dragon tongue? How do you say it in human language?”
“……I don’t know, since I can’t understand this sentence in dragon tongue either.”Dora’s tone seemed to include a hint of guilt.
“How could it be possible?”Shaar asked furiously: “How could you possibly not understand dragon tongue?”
Dora every unhappily replied: “You are a human, can you understand Odin language? Do you know the language of the Atlantis Empire?”
“……this, that is true.” Shaar was dumbstruck for a moment.
“This sentence came from the most ancient dragon tongue. The language from over 10,000 years ago has a very big difference compare to now. According to the legend, this language was passed down by the Dragon god to the dragons. Only the patriarch of a clan could understand it a bit.”
Stretching his mouth, Shaar tilted his head to think for a little while: “Ehm ……That soul sharing contract, can you tell me more about it?”
“Humph! You greedy fellow, forget about your wishful thinking. After the war ended and the Necros completely defeated, the human became greedier and greedier. The dragons broke every contact with the humans and the currents humanity doesn’t have the qualifications to make the dragon race acknowledge them to ever become their mighty mount!”
“Ah, c’mon tell me about it……” Shaar scratched his head: “Even if it’s just a story, it should be told to the end.”
“……I told you, there is absolutely no way for you to become a Dragon Knight. In order to become a Dragon Knight, besides of an incredible power, one must have a pure and noble heart! A greedy fellow with no morals like you, even if you are reborn a hundred times, you will have absolutely no hope of becoming one!”
“Hey! I was just talking about it, there is no need to curse someone.”
Dora sighed and finally explained with a sneer:”The most important condition at that time to become A Dragon Knight was, they were the strongest warriors from the human race and people called them ‘Heroes’. The beings who signed the soul sharing contract for them were the great and supreme Dragon God! This kind of contract only existed once! Moreover, only the descendants of the blood of the ancient human heroes would have the contract’s imprinted to become the future generation of Dragon Knights. The Dragon God made such a rule, because that long war lasted for several hundred years. Although the Dragon Knights were powerful, the lives of humans were very short. Even the strongest warrior could only live for more than 100 years. Furthermore during a battle, the Dragon Knights could also die. If a Dragon Knight died in battle and his dragon mount was still alive, his descendants could inherit the Dragon Knight’s position and become the new master of the dragon in order to ride it once against in battle.
According to legend, this contract on existed once and it wouldn’t happen again. The legend told that during the final battle of that war, almost all of the Dragon Knights died in battle and the bloodline of the ancient heroes of humanity got extinct. Therefore ……Without being the descendant of the ancient heroes, it is impossible to have new candidates to become Dragon Knights again.”
The bloodline of the humanities heroes?
Shaar sighed and greatly disappointed in his heart.
“Your humans experienced innumerable chaos caused by war during the 10,000 years afterwards. Your race was naturally filled with the nature of greed and violence born from internal conflicts as you established your civilizations. One destruction after another, until now countless ancient inheritances and traditions were exterminated. The Dragon combat technique is also included in these things and only our Dragon race preserved a part of it. I am from the earth dragon clan and in ancient times our ancestor signed contracts with the Dragon Knights. Therefore, we preserved a part to combat technique and I can teach you’re a bit of it, but ……”
“Again a “but”, what other condition do you also want to negotiate?”
Dora’s voice was somewhat hesitant: “but…..learning it is somewhat troublesome. The ancient heroes of the human had unrivalled formidable strength, especially concerning the use of battle ki they already reached the pinnacle. The essence of this combat technique is to combine the humans strong battle ki with the explosive strength of the dragon. As you can imagine, combining powers will put a heavy burden on your body and once you overstep the limit, your body will not be able to support it and collapse ……The ancient Dragon Knights who shared the vitality and injury with the dragon could used this battle technique, since the burden on their body could be transferred to their dragon, but you ……”
Being surprised by the reply, Shaar asked: “Are you concerned about me, do you fear that I will die from the training?”
“Humph, if you die, who can bring me to the Sacred Tomb.”Dora finally sighed: “However, since you haven’t obtained the dragon’s blessing, your strength is not that big yet. I think that with your current body toughness, you should be able to endure some of that burden.”
