CHAPTER 66: DARK SAMURAI DRAGON

XENON WINGATE

11 MONTHS AGO

The dazzling morning sunlight spread out, lighting everything in the arena. Hope and excitement filled that audience’s faces as they wait for the impending battle of my fourth Pentagram Knight battle.

Every key person is here, including my friend dragon knights Alphonse, Danielle and Major General Valesmith, and they are with their dragonoids Z, Nathaniel, and Rius. The Emperor of Alterra, Sirius Elkyria, is also present, and he’s together with his empress and the princess. Even the annoying Serenatics are here, and the much more irritating Duke Corasell. There are also some media men who are covering this battle for their newspaper.

Unlike last time, there are not many people in this arena. The massacre of humans during the Operation Drunken Whaler destroyed Serena and Duke Corasell’s reputation, so there are much fewer people that support their cause now. Some dukes and duchesses believe that equality between humans and dragonoids might threaten the human race, so the funds on the Dragonoid Rights Bill has been massively cut.

“It’s a lot less lively than the last,” Serena whispered as she frowned. “It makes me feel bad that the Psychic Amplifier incident happened. I even got my own self mind-controlled.”

“It’s not your fault.” I patted my sorrowful dragonoid’s head. “It’s all on Cheng Du. There is nothing you could have done.”

“I don’t understand. My intentions are purely good, but there is always something that is going to ruin my plan for happiness for everyone. Both humans and dragonoids should work together, but instead, it’s getting worse.”

“Hey, cheer up.” I chuckled at Serena. “Don’t be so emotional. Everything will work out. I’m sure if we win this Fourth Pentagram Challenge, we will acquire the funds and the fans you have lost.”

I honestly don’t care about the bill, but I’ll be doing my best in this fight. Throughout the history of Alterra, there was only one person who has beaten four Pentagram Knights. If we manage to pull this off, we will match the record on the Dragon Knight Academy’s books. And the Emperor would trust me more if I show him my strength in this very battle.

“Oh!” Serena’s face brightened as if she’s a flower who had just been watered. “Your promise to me! Don’t you dare break it!”

“What promise?”

“Hmmmph!” Serena pouted her face with a blush, like an exploding pufferfish.

“Oh yeah, yeah…” I said as I scratch my head. “We will have a date.”

“Yes!” Serena raised her index finger and pointed at me. “Win or lose! Win or lose, you promised!”

“Yes, yes, madam.” I forced a smile.

“Good~” Serena finally returned to her normal lively self when she gave me a satisfied smile.

Suddenly, the platform at the center of the Arena opened, revealing the fourth Pentagram Knight I’ll be proving my strength with. He is a man with a slightly macho-yet-chubby body build, wearing an iron-clad armor that originates from the eastern side of the world. Despite being a white man, he looks composed in displaying his long katana with a centered samurai stance. He is no other than Christian Reines, the infamous haywire knight. He is well known for having no mercy on every battle, even on Pentagram Challenges.

Together with him is a bulky fat man with terrifying biceps. This man is wearing a white cloth that is tied on his forehead, and he’s equipped with a pure white judo uniform. He also displays a judo stance, which means that he will be fighting unarmed in this fight. This must be his dragonoid Garaga who is an expert in breaking bones of his enemies.
