After a huge explosion, 5 figures were thrown to the side. The blonde and the blue-haired one seemed to be in good condition, but the other 3 had blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.

  Kai didn't even look at the 3 legends. He looked directly at the blue-haired, blue-eyed man with an excited expression on his face. This person was obviously over 20 years old and did not age. At the same time, Kai was aware of some of his power. This madman had at least reached the center of Purple Lightning.

  But soon, Kai turned his eyes to his hand and looked at the sword in his hand. Even though there was nothing wrong with the sword, his hand was shaking. This attack was strong enough to make his hand tremble.

  This man was at least at the peak of Purple Lightning!

  The 3 legends could barely breathe. This attack was truly beyond them. This power could have killed them, but at that critical moment, Kai had suddenly used the Raindrop Sutra to protect them. Even if they died, they should be reborn, but Kai realized that something was wrong. So did they. The problem was this. They had never seen anyone so powerful on this island.

  "Who are you?"

  Kai asked directly, but the blue-haired youth looked at him mockingly. Kai didn't get angry about his indifference. Obviously, this boy was too strong.

  He didn't speak and slowly raised his arm, the jacket he was wearing had a simple mark on the sleeve. It was meaningless to most people, but Kai had seen it somewhere else many years ago. His eyes widened in shock and then his brow furrowed. He clenched his fists and an incredible power began to surge through his body. Slowly, the Ultimate King Mode was removed from him and replaced by 100% of his True Dragon Form.

  "Do you understand now? I came all the way here to have a fight with you! Show me the power of the dragon!!!"

  "Hunters!!!"

  Ryuga lunged forward, swinging his fist. The only thing on him that could be a mana weapon was the ring on his finger.

  Kai suddenly grabbed his sword and threw himself forward. The crimson scales that had been slowly covering his body had suddenly accelerated and were now completely on his body. The crimson energy under the scales radiated an intense pressure for the 3 legends.

  Kai did not underestimate the young man in front of him. This young man's aura was thick, and a different feeling came over him. It wasn't as if he saw him for the first time... .... There seemed to be a connection between them.

  As Kai swung the sword with all his might, the crimson scales of the Immortal Dragon appeared on Sirius, just as they had three years ago against the three legends. Sirius' aura, his surface, was suddenly raised to a whole new level!

  When the fist and the sword collided, the two fierce auras collided at the same time.

  Due to the intense pressure, the 3 legends were thrown back a few meters. However, they were also curious about the outcome of this exchange of attacks.

  Each of them wondered how much difference there was between Kai and this young man. Even though they realized that this young man was strong, he had not used any special moves in response to Kai's attack. He was really overconfident.

  But in the end, when they expected Kai to win, it was Kai who flew back 40 meters and hit the tree.

  Kai knocked down the tree and went 60 meters further, knocking down 4 more trees. The last tree was a thick tree, but Kai almost destroyed it.

  The 3 Legends were no longer hostile to Kai. Against the Hunters, all the Developers had united and formed the Army as Developers. This Army was responsible for protecting ordinary people and Developers from the Hunters. They could fight among themselves, but they had to be absolutely united against the hunters. Anyone who broke this rule would surely be killed by the Developers!

  But the reason the 3 legends ran straight to Kai was not because of the possibility of being killed. No one could blame them for that. They only stood up to Ryuga because they hated the Hunters and saw Kai as a friend.

  Suddenly, Autumn stretched out her hand and a vine moved towards Kai. Kai's healing speed was already incredible, but this vine had a very special healing power. Within seconds, Kai had closed the wound Ryuga had made.

  "It's really powerful. This must be the Half Step 2. But there's something else strange about him."

  Kai spoke and the other three listened, but they couldn't understand what Kai was talking about.

  "It doesn't matter, you stay back."

  Six bolts of lightning appeared in Kai's eyes and at the same time, sparks of black lightning appeared on Kai's sword. Kai was using the 2nd bolt of the Black Lightning Art.

  This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

  "Black Lightning Art! 2nd Lightning! Rising Black Lightning!!!"

  Kai suddenly threw himself forward and quickly approached Ryuga as the wind pushed him forward, but Ryuga's face showed intense disdain even for this attack.

  " The Body of the Dragon King "

  Ryuga said calmly and his body was suddenly covered with scales. But these scales were completely different from Kai's body. Those scales were completely black. And a wild aura emanated from them. A crackling sound came from Ryuga's body and it was caused by the scales solidifying. Kai knew this sound. He used to have a few crackling sounds himself, but this man's crackling had already exceeded 100!

  Kai was truly horrified when he saw this. Still, he didn't dare to hold back and hit Ryuga's petrified body with all his might.

  Due to the sizzling of the black lightning and the solid state of Ryuga's body, a very loud sound spread through the environment. Kai also realized the danger he was in now. The sword had not penetrated Ryuga's body.

  Ryuga's blow was even stronger this time. Kai trembled. This time, he almost died, but then he realized why Ryuga looked so familiar to him.

  'Dragons are brothers to each other. You feel that even if you don't know him.'

  Kai remembered Bart's words and understood why Ryuga looked so familiar. He was a hunter and in a way, Kai's brother.

  But Ryuga didn't treat him like a brother. His attitude was wild! Kai could feel his bones shattering into tiny pieces. There was an unbelievable difference between him and Ryuga.

  In the area where the black and red light collided, the red light slowly rotated and the black light rose up. Ryuga already had an evil smile on his face as Kai gritted his teeth.

  " DIE!!!"

  Ryuga's demonic dragon energy suddenly surged. Ryuga's teeth turned into the fangs of a beast and claws formed on his hands. His fist plunged into Kai's heart.

  Kai's eyes flickered. He should not underestimate his opponent. This man was no simple man and he was a born beast. All fingers of Kai's right hand closed except for the index and the middle finger. He had struck Ryuga's body with his left hand, but now he suddenly withdrew his hand and calmly pushed Ryuga's body away. The fingers on his left hand became the same as the fingers on his right hand, and suddenly, a divine aura began to emanate from Kai's fingers. This divine aura slowly rose from his fingers and covered Kai's entire body. Kai's eyes were closed, but even with his eyes closed, the whiteness of the divine energy was visible on his eyelids.

  The three legends watched with stunned expressions as the two incredible energies battled each other. Even though they knew that Kai had not used his full power in the previous battle, they did not know that Kai possessed such an art.

  The earth beneath Kai and Ryuga was shattered by the auras. As the two lights shook the earth and sky, even the 3 legends used all their power to protect themselves.

  Ryuga's fist connected with Kai's stomach. Kai's eyes were closed and the divine aura swirled around his body. There was no collision between his body and Ryuga's body and Kai's fingers rotated around his body like a star system.

  Kai had changed a lot since he had learned this technique!

  When Ryuga's fist, covered in black wild energy, was about to hit Kai's stomach, Kai turned on his heels and dodged the attack.

  And that was the effect of his transformation!

  Kai's eyes suddenly opened as an intense storm of divine energy shot out of his eyes, scorching the surrounding area. Even Ryuga became serious for a moment. This technique was too dangerous!

  Kai's fingers suddenly surpassed the speed of the Purple Lightning and moved forward, slicing Ryuga's body in half at the waist. With the power of the fingers, he should definitely be able to do that.

  "Not enough."

  CHAAATTT!!!!

  Kai's slender fingers slammed into Ryuga's body, but as expected, only one of Ryuga's jet-black scales was torn off.

  Only one scale!

  Kai looked at Ryuga's face in shock, but calmed down after a moment. How could Kai have defeated him so easily when this man had reached Half Step 2? After all, he should have been able to split Ryuga even at Double Finger Body Slash Beginner level. Were Ryuga's scales really that hard?

  Ryuga didn't seem to be in a good mood at all. Even though a scale was very upsetting to Kai, it was shocking to him. No one had ever broken one of his scales before.

  At that moment, Ryuga realized that he had to move quickly. Another object was approaching. And what forced Ryuga to be careful was that it had neither the aura of a human nor an animal.

  Time passed. Soon, countless attacks were exchanged. Kai knew that even one of these attacks could tear his body apart. He attacked Ryuga with everything he had, but Ryuga did not let himself be hit anymore. Kai couldn't even touch a hair on his head.

  Kai was out of breath. His movements were very slow and he hardly had the energy to continue. The 3 legends knew that Ryuga had been playing with Kai from the beginning. If they wanted to run away and call for help, Ryuga would not give them the chance.

  Ryuga's gaze shifted for a moment and he looked at the forest from the corner of his eye.

  'What is that aura? There is something nearby! This thing is not human!'

  WHIRR!!!

  Kai finally fell to his knees and leaned his back against the tree behind him. He couldn't move anymore.

  Kai's eyes were on Ryuga. Kai's body was covered in countless wounds and bloodstains, while Ryuga was still intact. Kai's look became hostile. For the first time in his life... He lost to someone.

  SCREECH!!

  "There is always someone stronger in the world, Kai. You are too young. You don't understand how cruel life is."

  Ryuga pulled his arm back and suddenly the scales folded one after the other and converged on Ryuga's hand. This attack was more powerful than the others.

  "You only have yourself to blame for being so immature. "

  Kai's eyes flickered as he looked at Ryuga. Ryuga's arm sped up and moved towards him.

  'I am stupid, naive and many other things. I am arrogant and conceited, and even my master knew how big a problem my immaturity was.... Still, if you think I'm going to die like this, you're wrong!'

  RUSTLE!!!

  Kai's fingers moved and the sky suddenly darkened. Kai jumped out of his seat and put all his strength into his arm. The sky darkened and Kai's fingers turned into a double finger body slash again. His fingers went straight to Ryuga's neck.

  CRACK!!!

  'Something is coming!'

  From the sky, a huge jet-black bolt of lightning accelerated towards Kai and Ryuga.

  WHIRR!!!

  'It's so close! I can't block it!'

  A huge black bolt of lightning fell from the sky just as Kai and Ryuga's attacks were about to hit each other. As the 3 lights collided, another white light suddenly shot out of the trees and hit Ryuga.

  BOOOM!!!
