HnK Episode 10
As Kenshiro decides to investigate the dried up lake, the villagers warn him that he will be eaten by the monster of the Dragon God Mountain. Undeterred, Kenshiro walks forward until he spots a crevice. He notices a pipe, deducing that the water was drained awayby means of a mechanism. He investigates further to discover that a river which flows into the lake has been blocked off.
Kenshiro is then ambushed by the Mount Ryujin Guardian. Kenshiro escapes his grip and strikes him on one of his pressure points, "Kyosei", rendering his arms useless. Kenshiro then has him guide him up the mountain.
As they reach the top, a man cloaked in blue flames punishes the Mount Ryujin Guardian by setting him on fire and pushing him off the cliff for guiding Kenshiro up the mountain. The man cloaked in blue flames disappears as Kenshiro tries to catch up to him. When Kenshiro reaches the top of the mountain, he sees a castle in the distance. The castle is connected to an aqueduct and a dam where the water is controlled from.
As night falls, Kenshiro infiltrates the castle. He notices there are no guards patrolling the place, yet realizes he's being watched. He enters the next room and finds a portrait of Yuria. He notices someone hiding and asks him to show himself. Dragon appears and explains that Yuria and Shin stopped in his castle for 10 days while on their journey to his capital of Southern Cross. Shin painted that portrait during that time. Dragon offers his sympathy to Kenshiro and invites him to a feast.
At the feast, there are belly dancers and slaves entertaining Dragon and his guest, Kenshiro. Kenshiro refuses to eat. Dragon offers Kenshiro to join forces and betray Shin. Kenshiro refuses and Dragon escapes in a blaze, revealing that the belly dancers and slaves were all an illusion. The ceiling reveals hidden spikes and starts to come down, threatening to crush Kenshiro to death. Kenshiro tries to escape, only to find out that there are solid walls behind the doors and the window. Kenshiro examines the floor and manages to escape via a trap door mechanism.
Meanwhile, the captured women are shown bathing and dressing up to get ready for the slave market. Mika and the other slaves appear to be hypnotized by Patra. At the slave auction, as Dragon introduces his female slaves, Sam notices Mika. He knocks over a guard and Patra and attempts to run away with Mika. Dragon strikes him down by throwing a dagger in his shoulder. As Mika looks at the fallen body of her lover, she breaks free from her hypnosis and goes to Sam's side. Dragon orders his men to kill them, but before he realizes it, they explode in a shower of blood.
Kenshiro reveals himself to the crowd. As he fights off Dragon's minions, he scares away the traffickers at the auction. He asks Sam and Mika to escape with the other slaves. Dragon and Patra team up to take on Kenshiro. Patra summons an illusion of fiery dragons, but Kenshiro counters her by mentally predicting her moves and blinding her with her own crystals. Patra accidently steps into Dragon's fire and falls out the window. Kenshiro then strikes Dragon with his Inverse Raging Fire Punch and attacks his pressure point, "Zencho". Dragon's throat closes up and his flames scorch him from the inside and burns him to death. Flares from the explosion from Dragon's death cause the traffickers' trucks to explode and engulf the castle in flames.
Sam and Mika return to the village. The water of the lake has returned and the village prospers. Meanwhile, Yuria experiences joy after a long time as she plays the harp. Kenshiro and Lin hear her melody far across the desert.
