The Sword of Somplak
The Fire Dragon Long An

Before long, the dragon's eyes opened, he woke up from his long slumber.

Groars!

The dragon roared wriggling, wagging its tail on the surface of the lake water, then burst into the sky with flames spouting from its mouth. The dragon looked so angry, his roar blaring in the sky.

Ucup watched him in astonishment without realizing the true condition of the dragon that was rampaging over him. 

“Keren, the red snake roared by spouting huge blazes in all directions! It's like the fantasy movies I've seen other than Miyabi,”.

 “Burn! Burn!” Ucup shouted loudly asking the dragon continued to spit fire.

The dragon who heard the cry of a young man below instantly stopped its action. His gaze was fixed on the young man who was prancing around while shouting.

The wuzz!

The dragon gushed its fire towards the young man below.

Suddenly, the fire that gushed made Ucup panic in the fog and then jumped into the lake.

Byurs!

Ucup dive to the bottom of the lake. The dragon chased him from behind. Panicked utcup accelerated his pace. It dives by activating the eye of the universe tracing the breadth of the deepest area at the bottom of the lake.

“Damn it, the snake keeps chasing me!” Ucup cursed not to think he would be a hunt of the creature he had saved.

Strange thing is not realized, Ucup dive rate is so fast that it creates a whirlpool of currents that are so strong and ….

Booms!

The lake water gushed into the sky, draining the contents of the lake and throwing the dragon out of nowhere. Ucup stood in the middle of the lake with a flabbergasted look of disbelief in seeing it.

“I-this is cool!” he said, wrapping his arms around his chest.

A few moments later, the lake water again fell quickly like a waterfall. 

“O ow, it's a danger!” Ucup ran quickly away from the lake.

He climbed the cliff of the lake so quickly and deftly that he managed to get out of the cliff of the lake.

“Ha-ha, fortunately I am used to being chased by the masses every time brawl between schools,” kekeh Ucup feel proud.

The next problem came, the dragon who was thrown far away, was flying with a burning rage. This time, the dragon did not spout its fire, it came with its jaw wide open.

Ucup who was frowning instantly shut his mouth, staring at the crimson silhouette like a meteor speeding towards him. Clenched both his hands so tightly. 

However, when he knew the object approaching him was the red dragon he had saved. It was reflected in the look on Ucup's face, that he was so angry at the red dragon who did not know to return the favor.

“Never eat your schoolgirl apparently!” growled Ucup was undaunted to face the safest dragon that was getting closer to him.

“Hiat!” the shriek of Ucup involuntarily the aura of the ruler in his body radiated out and made the dragon flung away a second time.

The wuzz!

“Dih, big body only! So close to me, so excited, ha-ha,” he said, he felt even more proud.

Shortly after, the red dragon again swerved closer to Ucup.

“What do you want? If you dare not come here!” utup said so upset.

The red dragon leapt into the lake, then its head appeared on the surface with a glaring gaze beckoning Ucup to forgive him.

“Cih, always dong tuh face, do not be so clear!” ketus Ucup then turned his back on the dragon.

“Your Majesty, forgive the self-informed servant,” watered down the dragon.

Hearing the red dragon speak to him, Ucup fell silent considering the knowledge he had learned from the laws of the universe.

“You spoke to me, meaning you are a monster beast as mentioned in the laws of the universe,” Ucup replied then turned to look seriously at the dragon.

The red dragon nodded, his face looking calm.

“Hamba, Long An. Servants are not serpents, servants are fire dragon beasts of the god realm. Thank you, Your Majesty has helped me .. allow my servant to serve His Majesty in return to His Majesty,” Long An said hoping to be accepted by the young man in front of him.

“Keren also I was called by the designation ‘Yang Mulia’,” Inner Ucup.

Ucup smiled wryly and said, “You don't need to return the favor, because it's not necessarily Budi who's wrong, but well, you can be my friend, Brother Long An. However, you should know, I am not a cultivator. I can't do a blood contract with you.”

Ucup exhaled slowly his breath. His gaze continued to focus on staring at Long An.

“Now you can stay in my soul realm, I will ask you out when I need your help.”

Long An who already understood about the soul realm, was happy to hear Ucup accept him. He nodded his head and entered it.

“Brother, Xiao. I tipped my new friend,” said Ucup asked for it.

“Yes, but he can't see me,” replied Prince Xiao Li Dan.

“No problem,” timpal Ucup understand it.

Afterwards, Ucup continued his journey eastward towards the Xiao Imperial palace. 

The Xiao Empire was the largest empire in the Sun continent. It is almost half the size of the Sun's continent. Most of its territory is wilderness, hills, and towering mountains.

Ucup continues to run while emitting universe energy to repair the damage to the surrounding nature.

Long An accompanied Ucup by telling his life story until he drowned in Hope Lake. Lucky for Long An, the sinking at the bottom of Hope Lake kept him alive. 

That said, the water in the Lake of Hope never shrinks and never increases. Many cultivators stopped by the Hope Lake to take the water as supplies on the way.

Ucup was so serious about listening to Long An's story. From what he told, Long An lost to a single attack of a demon girl. However, he was lucky because his fight happened right above the Hope Lake.

Ucup stopped his steps at the foot of the hill. Not far from him, there is a cave that can be used as a place to rest. He then scanned into it, seen by him, some human skulls and skulls of large snakes in the area in the cave. Curious, Ucup stepped inside.

From inside the cave, Ucup found five spatial rings. He smiled looking at the contents that were so many gold coins, resources, and various other treasures. He then put it into the realm of the soul.

Ucup continued by tracing the deepest part of the cave. However, there was nothing else he could find. Ucup then dug up the ground and buried all the skulls in one hole in the same.

After he had finished his burial, Ucup meditated on the rocks and studied the laws of the universe and the laws of space-time carefully and seriously.

"Brother Xiao!" call Ucup.

"Yes, say!" prince Xiao Li Dan.

"In this world, I'm on a very tough mission. Are there no weapons I can use to deal with my mission bullies? I'm a hotshot, anyway. He-he."

"You actually already have it. It's just, I don't feel good saying it."

"Why is that? Just say!"

"You have a sword hidden in your little brother. However, the power of the sword depends on your little brother."

"What do you mean, Brother Xiao? You're confusing me. Say it clearly!"

"I am confused to explain it myself. Never mind, forget it."

"Can't be so! Now, how do I take it?"

"You gotta get your little brother up."

"Huh, that's right‽"

"It's like that, so forget it."

"Fuck, it's a sword! Could be perverted, too."

A few days later, Ucup completed his meditation and resumed his journey. He climbed the hill repairing the damage around him.

At the top of the hill, Ucup saw the settlement of residents who are still intact. He then scanned every resident's house in the hope that there are residents in it. But what he saw were the lifeless bodies of the inhabitants.
