Cecil saw his son’s arm off. He ran to his son, screaming, “Son, who did this to you?”

  Fang Yuan came over to Cecil, saying, “I’m the one who hurt your son. What are you going to do about it?”

  Cecil’s Rift energy flared as an overwhelming heat encompassed him.

  Flames erupted from his partisan, but Fang Yuan laughed.

  But Cecil wasn’t playing. He threw his partisan like a javelin, launching it at Fang Yuan, and for the first time, he felt fear.

  Fang Yuan tried to use a blizzard to block the attack, but it broke through, and the partisan hit him in the shoulder. Then suddenly, it got pulled back into Cecil’s hand.

  Cecil rushed in with his partisan and slashed down, but it was blocked by Fang Yuan’s tails.

  Suddenly, he started to grow and grow, and an aura of frost blanketed a wide area, but Cecil dodged, taking Leonidas and Edward with him. After Cecil set them on the floor, he saw Fang Yuan’s true form, a mighty white cloud dragon.

  The dragon was serpentine, with clouds swirling around its arms. The dragon roared, “I’m the great dragon of the sky, Fang Yuan, you foolish human!”

  Cecil replied back, a bit cocky, “And I am Cecil, the crimson king, and I shall have your head,” he said as he pointed his partisan.

  The great dragon slammed into Cecil, sending him flying into a mountain, attempting to break his bones.

  But Cecil ignored the mountain, destroying it as he launched at the dragon, and he shot out a wave of flame like a tsunami.

  Fang Yuan countered with a snowstorm, but the flames still raged on and burnt part of Fang Yuan’s tail and destroyed his before-indestructible scales.

  Cecil ran in, trying to stab Fang Yuan’s eye, but Fang luckily dodged. But though Cecil missed, he slid down Fang Yuan with his partisan, setting the wound on fire.

  Fang roared in anger. Then suddenly, he reverted to a more powerful form. It was an eight-foot-tall humanoid with dragon scales completely covering its body.

  Fang then pulled out a dao from a strange portal. The blade was curved, and the hilt showed a dragon eating the hilt.

  Cecil quickly adopted a stance and ran to Fang and slashed down at his shoulder, but Fang blocked it with his sword and tried to counter. But Cecil punched him, which sent him flying, before then sending several waves of flames at Fang.

  Fang quickly used an ice surge to try to block the attack, but it only slowed down the attack, which gave Fang enough time to summon thirty giant ice lances.

  Cecil jumped into the sky as the ice lances flew at him faster than lightning. He suddenly summoned a small fireball in his hand, slowly growing its flames. Then suddenly, he trapped Fang in a cage of red and black flames.

  And the small fireball he had been creating grew exponentially. And with no way to escape, Fang tried to summon his ice, but it melted instantly.

  “Damn it, that bastard is gonna kill me.”

  Finally, the ball of fire was complete. “For your crimes by hurting the Prince of Gradalon, you shall die, foul beast. Cruel Sun!”

  The massive sun flew towards Fang. With no way to escape, he decided to accept his fate.

  The attack hit like a nuclear missile as a huge mushroom cloud was created. Cecil ran to his son and gave him a very expensive healing potion. It was even the only one they had.

  He carried Edward and Leo to the infirmary.

  Four hours later, Leo woke up a bit dazed and confused. He saw himself on a comfy bed. He smiled as he saw his arm completely healed. He walked out of the room. As he slowly walked across the castle, he went out of the castle only to see his father waiting outside the carriage.

  “Hey, son, how are you doing?” Cecil said, smiling.

  Leonidas replied, “I’m fine, father, but what is the carriage for?”

  “Well, son, remember how I said you were going to the Brahman kingdom to get married?”

  “Yes, I know that.”

  “Well, you are going now, and also, I’m sorry, but hmm…”

  “What is it, father?”

  “Well, I might not have told you about a tournament that is taking place, but don’t worry. The tournament takes place four days later, so level up, son.”

  Leonidas entered the carriage, and it took off. The chairs were comforting and red, just like his hair. He looked on and saw the land and the forest.

  Suddenly, an arrow flew at the carriage. Leo got out of the carriage to see what was going on as the carriage rider trembled. Suddenly, an arrow flew toward Leo.

  Using what Edward did, he grabbed the arrow, set it ablaze, and then shot it back.

  “Come out, bitch,” Leo said as he ignited one hand in his black and red flames.

  Two bandits jumped, trying to attack him, but Leo used a flaming attack to burn them. Three more with short daggers attempted to stab Leonidas.

  But Leonidas punched one while kicking the other before burning the other.

  Paying the carriage rider some money he stole from the bandits, he said, “Keep riding.”

  The carriage rider quickly took the coins and kept riding. The fight took a heavy toll on Leo’s body, and he quickly fell asleep.

  The carriage rider woke up Leo. “Your royal highness, we have arrived.”

  Leo saw the beautiful nation, with children roaming and playing, and spices filling the air, and beautiful brown-skinned ladies walking through the market.

  Leo thought of a single word when he saw Brahman: “India.” But Leo couldn’t waste time. He went to the Palace of the Royal family of Brahman.

  He went to a receptionist. “Hey, I am Leonidas from the kingdom of Gradalon.”

  “Yes, right this way, sir, and you are going to be fighting Karna, sir,” the receptionist replied, bringing Leo to his room. It was a nice and comfy room. Leo immediately jumped onto the cosy bed and fell asleep.
