As much as Kai wanted to go right in and raid the Hunters' base and destroy them, he couldn't do it. Emma was right. Ever since he learned about these powers, every time he knew something was wrong, he would flex his muscles because he had a superior growth velocity, and he became a Half Step 2 in a very short time. He was the last Kingslayer. He was a legendary individual who gathered 6 million souls into one body. He had the Immortal Dragon bloodline. He was the only person who ever had pure Turkish blood. He practiced the ancient Two-Finger World Slashing Art and was the King of Black Lightning, which was rarely seen in the world.

  He was a living legend. To be honest, such a person should never have been born. His skill level was as high as the first ancestors of the Ancient Era.

  That's why Kai had always relied on his strength and focused on smashing and destroying, but it was only after all his foolishness that he realized something.

  He was still too young.

  Kai had only just turned 18, and they had been in the World Tournament for almost 3.5 years. To be honest, outside of those 3.5 years, Kai didn't have much experience or power.

  Compared to the real world, maybe Kai could fight an ordinary person who had just passed the 2nd step.

  Or maybe he couldn't? It was incomprehensible to Kai Lane who didn't know the outside world.

  But at the moment, Kai was still very young. And it would really take some time for him to become stronger. Maybe in a hundred years Kai wouldn't have to be afraid anymore.

  Jack was lying in a building in Atlantia City. Atlantia was a very large city that could be compared to a city in the modern world. This city was under construction. People were gathering and using their energy to create new structures. The intensity of the energy here greatly increased the speed of their development. And right now, there were 3 Half Step 2 Developers in the city.

  Even though Lena and Kai were strong, Jack was now covered in serious wounds. How Jack became a Half-Step 2nd Step was unknown at the moment. Jack was only in the middle of the Purple Lightning. Who knew what had happened after he left with Alan?

  Of course, there were two reasons. The Cannibal King was half a step 2. Jack was able to absorb his power with the Misty Thief skill. He had reached the peak of Purple Lightning, though not by much.

  The other reason was the energy he received from Alan. He took Alan's Jade Eye, his potential, and his energy. This energy was the energy that Alan had accumulated over the years. That was his base of development. When Jack and Alan's energy base overlapped, Jack had strangely become Half Step 2.

  Now Lena healed him. And a few people waited for Jack to recover and protected him. It could be dangerous if someone who was angry with him at the World Tournament came and tried to kill Jack. Jack was weak enough to die with the slightest movement.

  But Kai and Kevin were not in that area. They had started to follow Jack's tracks to find Alan. Very few people knew this. If there was a spy among them, Kai and Kevin could have been killed. The spy would tell them about Kai and Kevin and the hunters would trap them.

  A few characters like Jace, Melony and Milah were still in Red Lightning City. They had been waiting for the last expedition. Even if there was still no news of them, they should be safe.

  "We're close, Kai."

  Kevin said as he looked at the tracks on the ground and then looked up at Kai who was looking up at the sky. Kai looked at the darkening sky. The clouds had gathered and the precipitation was high as winter was approaching in this area.

  "It's going to rain, we'd better find him soon."

  Kevin also looked up at the sky and then followed Jack's tracks, one foot in the grave. The reason the Cannibal King couldn't find Jack was because he didn't have the ability. Kevin's eyes could see traces of past shadows in another dimension. Another trait of the King of Shadows.

  After a few meters, Kevin suddenly stopped. His eyes opened and he slowly looked at the path that Jack had taken before. When he lifted his head slightly, it was as if Jack was walking backwards along the path before his eyes. Finally, Kevin's expression froze and he pointed behind a tree in front of him.

  "There."

  Even as Kevin said it, he knew what was behind that tree. Kai also knew from Kevin's expression that it was nothing good. The two of them calmly walked forward and stopped in front of the corpse in front of the tree.

  This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

  The corpse's face and body were completely white. He had many wounds, but they had stopped bleeding. His right hand was missing. Where his right liver used to be, there was a hole big enough for a hand to fit through. His eyes were open, but his right eye was missing where it should have been. His arms were at his sides, and if you touched him a little, his body, leaning against the tree, would fall to the ground.

  "Alan...."

  Kevin and Kai bowed their heads slightly at the sight of this man. This was enough to explain everything. If we need a scenario how Jack was alive, Alan was dead here and one of them should have a treasure to get rid of the Cannibal King. But apparently it could only save one person. Looking at Alan's wounds, they were surprised that he had come so far from the center. But there was nothing to say. Alan had given up, probably to his own death. Jack had escaped and died in front of this tree.

  That didn't explain how Jack had become Half Step, but it didn't matter. Kai bent down and looked at the photo in Alan's hand that had fallen to the ground. Even with Alan's blood on it, Kai could still see and understand it clearly.

  "Alan and Ariel?"

  Only a few people knew Alan's secret. Kai hadn't returned to Red Lightning City at the time those few people knew.

  "Alan loved Ariel. I don't know how Ariel feels, but I know Alan will tell her how he feels after the World Tournament."

  After Kevin spoke, he reached out his hand and closed Alan's open eyes.

  "Goodbye Alan... thank you for everything."

  Kai looked at the photo in his hand and his mouth fell open. Seeing this photo had really upset him.

  "So that's it..."

  Kai put the photo in his pocket and then threw Alan's body over his shoulder. Kai sighed as Kevin and Kai made their way back to Atlantia.

  "You can be sure this will get to Ariel, Alan."

  It started to rain when Kai and Kevin went back to the city and they returned to the city soaking wet. The body on Kai's shoulder was the center of attention and many people were saddened by Alan's death. A funeral was arranged for Alan. Then, everyone went into closed door training except for the guards guarding the gates. Even the guards began to draw energy with the help of Zachery's formation. Shortly after, the passengers of the last expedition arrived in the city. They were greeted by shiny names like Kai, Kevin, Emma. Elena looked at Clara and shook her head from side to side. That meant there was no good news.

  It hadn't escaped Milah's attention that Kai was looking at Milah in particular and the others exchanged furtive glances. The only one Alan was particularly close to was Zaheer. But he was dead too. Alan had not shed a single tear over his death. And now he was dead. But there was no one like Zaheer to cry for him. Alan thought of that when he left this world and was glad about it.

  "What happened?"

  Milah knew that Jack was missing. Everyone knew. Jack and Alan had disappeared at the meeting. And now they seemed to be back.

  "Alan is dead."

  GULPP!!!

  They were momentarily shocked as the sound of Kevin's mouth and the sound of him swallowing was heard by those who had come on the Last Expedition. Kevin had just blurted it out. It was common knowledge that Alan was the guardian of the city and the legendary leader of the Red Lightning Academy. There was no denying how bitter the news was. The men looked stoic, but Kai was sad enough to stare at one point without saying a word.

  Jace also froze for a moment. Alan was like a big brother he learned from. He had taught Jace about the justice of the Assassin and he had taught him about the honor of the Assassin, which he should never cross in his life.

  Now he felt a sizzling inside of him that filled his whole body. Lena couldn't help but look at him for a moment. A look of sadness crossed her face for a moment.

  "Jack is badly wounded. He is in.... serious condition."

  Kai couldn't speak. Again, Kevin had told them everything. Kai was in another realm at that moment. He felt a pressure. As he described it, he became aware of how big the pressure had become. It was so great that he couldn't speak and could only look at one point. He felt like if he tried to get a word out of his mouth, blood would come out instead.

  When Milah heard what had happened, she became worried and her eyes filled with tears. She clenched her fists and walked past Kai to Kevin.

  "Take me to him!"

  Milah's words were not an order, but a request that could not be refused. Everyone went with her to see Jack's wounds. Some people were too scared to go at all and were personally driven by friends who were already in town. Some of the cooler heads and those of Alan's generation did not visit Jack and kept their feelings to themselves and went home, they were adults about 35 years old. They looked 20 years old, but they had been in these situations before. They took Alan's death to heart and went to where they would stay now.

  Kai was the only one left in the area. He kept looking at the same place. He was completely frozen.

  "Kai, let's go."

  Of course, Emma was the one who had been waiting for him the whole time. She had waited silently for Kai the whole time, but she also noticed that something was wrong. Kai hadn't said a word or made a move for hours.

  "I-"

  PUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

  PUUU!!! PUHA!!!

  Just as Kai was about to speak, a deep pain suddenly shot through his body and Kai fell to his knees and vomited a bucket of blood. He vomited and spat blood for 10 minutes. Snowflakes fell from the sky and Kai was covered in blood within 10 minutes. Emma couldn't understand what had just happened. Her eyes flickered as she tried to make sense of the strange thing in front of her. Kai's face was white and he pulled back a little and lay down next to the strange blood. Emma, looking worried, took a few steps and looked at the small pool of blood. The amount of blood was not only frightening. Even though it was a lot of blood, it wasn't the amount of blood that worried Emma. There was something more terrifying.

  This blood was made up of 5 different colors - purple, red, white, black, and blue!
