Alan and Jack moved quickly in a blur to the meeting point and Kai went back home. Two people had left the Hunter Center at sunrise. All had a mission today.

  3 hours later it was 7 o'clock. Normally, most people would not wake up at this hour, but the arrival of the hunters on Sky Island in these 3 months had changed everything. They became more cautious and started training more.

  The number and level of soldiers in the city's waters had increased. They used to sit lazily and get drunk day and night. Now, they watched the distance from the walls without even blinking their eyes, releasing their aura. The liquor bottle stood in a corner. Not a drop of it had been drunk.

  Kai had not trained with John for 20 days. He had gone to his room and supported his development to Half Step 2 as he had been doing for 3 months. Even though he had been at Half Step 2 for 3 months, he still couldn't compete with people like Ryuga who were geniuses and could fight with people who were already at Step 2. He could only easily defeat ordinary Half Steps.

  A few more hours passed, and the city's exchange zones came to life. In these areas, people traded the things they had found on their expeditions. At this time, it was the most crowded place in the city.

  There was only one reason for that. People wanted to live. To live, they needed energy. You never knew when the hunters would attack, and everyone made a promise to themselves.

  I will survive no matter what!

  At that moment, a young man walked through the city with a casual stride, not bothering to disguise himself at all. As he moved through the crowd, no one could tell him apart. Even the black lines on his cheeks kept him from being noticed.

  Kaido didn't care, but he had a right to. His steps were silent and didn't even make a click. Sometimes, people seemed to bump into him, but Kaido avoided the collision with simple steps. Obviously, no one could notice him.

  'This place is really more interesting than I thought, I've been walking around for two hours and I've met a lot of powerful developers. At least most of them are under 30 years old, and there are a few who have reached Purple Lightning at that age. Even this guy looks younger than 20, and he's about to reach the middle of 'Purple Lightning.'

  'If I wasn't one of the leaders of the hunters, it would have been suicide for me to come here. After all, there is another half-step down here.' Kaido said.

  Kaido spoke casually. There really were a lot of geniuses here. He had seen a few Purple Lightning people, and there were more than 15 Half-Step Purple Lightning people.

  "Did you really think you could sneak in here and spy on all of us?"

  Kaido was suddenly startled by a voice in his ear. He had never recognized this voice before. But that didn't make him think that it was a Half-Step. There were some things that prevented him from noticing someone. If he was too careless, he would not notice things that suddenly appeared behind him. So the person behind him had not walked here. He appeared suddenly.

  Kaido turned his head slowly and saw a young man with blond hair. He wore a white cloak. His aura was strong, but only in the center of the Purple Lightning. Still, the fact that he could suddenly appear behind Kaido with such power showed how skilled he was.

  Kaido continued to walk calmly and the boy behind him followed closely.

  "I found an item in one of the cities we destroyed in the last 3 months. It was a very useful item for me and could help me become king. I used it and tried to become king, but someone had already stolen my goal before me."

  Kaifo turned his head slightly and looked at the handsome boy with shadow rays streaming down his body.

  "I did not expect to meet you, King of Shadows."

  Suddenly, Kaido drew a small throwing knife from his waist and threw it at Kevin. At the same moment, Kevin drew the sword from his waist, leaving a streak of light, and collided with the small throwing knife.

  At the moment of the collision, a strong wind blew through the neighborhood, knocking the low-grade developmentalists into the barter shops.

  This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

  Kevin took a few steps back. Even with that small throwing knife, this man had forced him to take a few steps back. Kevin could even feel his sword hand shaking. This man had not used all of his power. If he had used all of his strength, his speed would have been proportional to his strength. He would not have been able to reach the throwing knife.

  But Kaido showed no mercy and threw the knife right into Kevin's eye. Kevin was not in a good position to face this sudden thing.

  "1st dimension open! Jaeron!!!"

  Suddenly, a swift wave of swords hit the throwing dagger, sending it flying backwards. However, the small dagger had absorbed more of the sword wave's power than he thought. With a wave of his hand, Kaido had destroyed this attack.

  Boyd gritted his teeth. When he used this attack, the clothes on his arms were torn to shreds. A black line appeared on his arm. His power was only Half Step Purple Lightning, but this sword technique kept him alive for a while.

  The Infernal Sword of 7 Dimensions allowed Boyd to get a little closer to the others. But it was also the sword that limited him. Even though his skill was poor, he could open the 1st dimension, and now the trace of the 1st dimension was complete. The Jaeron inscription on the black mark on his shoulder was complete. This increased his potential, but what was the point? Merging with this sword was like killing oneself.

  "Do you think such light attacks can hurt me? You're just a brat with a half-step of Purple Lightning! Don't you dare challenge me!"

  Boyd did not listen to him. As he stretched his legs, the tattoo on his shoulder flashed again and Boyd gritted his teeth and opened the 1st Dimension once more!

  Kaido's eyes widened as he swung his sword, sending out two throwing knives instead of one.

  As the throwing knives and the attack collided, the sword wave of the 1st Dimension sliced through the attacks as if nothing had happened. At the last moment, Kevin stepped out of the shadows and grabbed Boyd as the throwing knives came at him. He stepped back into the shadows and emerged with Boyd a few feet away.

  The throwing knives entered a swap shop and there was an explosion and a few screams.

  "So your attack is stronger this time. Then let me show you the difference between us."

  Suddenly, Kaido disappeared from where he was. He was completely out of sight and out of mind. Suddenly, Kevin and Boyd had a feeling of danger. They both turned their heads to look at each other when suddenly a young man with black marks on his face appeared between them. Spreading his legs in the air, he hit both of them hard, sending them flying in opposite directions.

  At that moment, Kaido disappeared again and appeared where Boyd was flying, swinging his fist. His fist hit Boyd directly and buried him in the ground. Within 40 meters, countless cracks appeared in the ground.

  Then Kaido swung his fist at Boyd again, and Boyd's face was covered in blood. The cracks in the surrounding area also became larger and more widespread. Many developers fled into the houses and shops in fear. Most of them had never encountered hunters in their lives, and that was the extent of their courage. All their hard work had been destroyed for fear. They could only watch as Boyd took the beating. None of them could come to his aid.

  Boyd's face was covered in blood and there were bloodstains in his black hair. The only thing keeping him alive was the sword in his hand. The only thing that kept his life force alive was the energy from that sword.

  But Boyd couldn't take it anymore. One last punch. Kaido raised his fist one last time and this time, he wanted to kill Boyd!

  His fist moved quickly, but at that moment, another fist was in front of him and collided with it.

  The power of that fist shocked Kaido. For this blow was strong enough to send him flying backwards, but as far as he could feel, the person who threw the blow had flown further back than he had.

  But for Kaido, the feeling of danger had not passed. Suddenly, an ice-covered spear came at him. Kaido managed to twist in the air and let the spear graze him. But still, unbelievably, the attack drained blood from his body. This was no easy feat.

  At that moment, a strange blue missile came at Kaido from another direction, and Kaido looked at it with disdain. The Developmentalists who reached the Green Lightning were only slightly damaged by the bullets. In Orange Lightning, they didn't work at all. In Red Lightning, even shotguns didn't work. In Purple Lightning, you could easily survive a missile.

  But Kaido was a half-step, a second step! No matter what the missile was made of, it didn't matter!

  But at that moment, the missile disappeared and turned into tiny needles. Countless sharp razor blades appeared at the ends of the needles. As Kaido's eyes widened at this scene, he suddenly threw himself back and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was surrounded by five men.

  Boyd forced himself to his feet. The aura slowly and steadily rising from his body forced him to slowly come to the Purple Lightning. So close to death, the Infernal Sword of the 7th Dimension bound him to life and to himself at the same time. The Black Line of the 2nd Dimension was already appearing on Boyd's arm.

  Although Boyd did not know it, even Era could not easily pass to the Purple Lightning with this sword. That's why he waited even after finding this sword, and attacked when he reached the Half Step Opening Sky.

  "5 men against 1 man? 2 Purple Lightning mid-level, 1 Purple Lightning mid-level peak, and 2 Purple Lightning beginners. I wish there was a girl among you. I'd like to play with her as well."

  At that moment, a sharp arrow flew towards Kaido, but he quickly stepped back and dodged it. He looked up and smiled when he saw a blonde girl on top of a tall building. The blonde-haired girl looked very delicate and sweet, with deep blue eyes, but her current face was not sweet. She looked more like a hunter than a Kaido. She had a bow in her hand and hatred in her eyes. The aura emanating from the bow and her body revealed how powerful she was. She was at the center of the Purple Lightning Center.

  "Now we have a full roster. "
