Chapter 197: You're Still a Coward!
Kai and Ryuga faced each other, their auras colliding in the middle and descending into chaos. Even though it seemed like Kai was more dominant at the moment, it wasn't true. Ryuga was the Dragon King. How could he compete with Kai using only simple techniques? How could he be the second leader when he was so weak? This was clearly impossible.
At that moment, Ryuga's body slowly changed and became covered in scales, taking on the true nobility of a dragon. His gaze shook the sky and his footsteps shook the earth. Kai was already in all seriousness
"Blue Dragon Kata...."
It was some kind of form, and it was not enough to say how powerful it was. With the power of the Dragon King, this thing must be equal to Kai.
Maybe even stronger?
But there was only one way to test it.
"Come here, baby dragon!"
Kai and Ryuga both jumped out of their seats and met in the middle. Their biggest secret was revealed as their eyes stared at each other.
At that moment, their hands went behind their backs and swords appeared in their hands.
This time, their swords met in the middle as Kai and Ryuga pushed each other backwards.
"Don't you think we've used enough simple moves?"
"Bite!"
At that moment, the scales of Ryuga's scaly, heavy sword coalesced into a mouth and tried to bite Sirius.
But he didn't see his mistake or Kai's smile.
"Poison Sirius..."
With Kai's calm words, a green liquid began to ooze from Sirius' black sword plate. At that moment, the bite of the heavy sword hit Sirius.
At that moment, the power of a heavy sword hit Kai's head. He was thrown backwards into the air while the scaly heavy sword was shattered by the green poison. Ryuga didn't even get his scales back.
But Kai was unarmed! This took away his disadvantage.
Ryuga suddenly appeared in front of Kai.
"Sky Art.... Dragon Spine!"
Suddenly, Ryuga's body took on the appearance of a dragon. More like a part of his body. His spine was more like that. However, more important was the power he carried behind him.
Because this fist was going to split the earth in mid-air!
At that moment, Kai's hand also went to Ryuga's fist. He had a very serious look on his face.
"Earth prison!!!"
Suddenly, two stone pillars emerged from the ground and wrapped around Ryuga's arms. This slowed the speed of the attack only slightly.
"Sirius!!!"
But at that moment, Kai didn't use any other technique. He directly summoned the Heavenly Elemental Sword. The sword was between Ryuga. And since Ryuga had blocked every angle of Kai's sword, the sword had to pierce through Ryuga's chest.
Ryuga quickly turned his head and looked at the sword coming towards him. The sword was already covered in red flames.
"Black Scaled Tortoise!!!"
Of course, there were hybrid dragons, and Ryuga could use their characteristics as a dragon king. His skin was covered with black scales and turned into an impenetrable armor.
However, the moment Sirius hit Ryuga, Ryuga lost his balance. His fist was broken, also because of Kai's Earth Prison.
There was only one person who could take advantage of it at that moment.
Kai quickly reached out and grabbed Ryuga's wrist. Then he stepped out of the intended target of the punch and hit Ryuga directly in the face with his elbow. He then struck Ryuga's foot, sending Ryuga tumbling through the air to the ground.
Kai picked up his sword and put the tip to Ryuga's throat.
"Why do you still go on? Why are you still a hunter?"
Kai was out of breath, but he asked the question before he could catch his breath. It didn't feel good for him to fight another dragon, to fight his brother. It wasn't right.
"Do you think I'm doing this because I want to? Ha! You may have always been a pampered baby star, but not everyone is born in the stars!"
Ryuga didn't seem to be afraid of the sword going through his neck when he shouted angrily into Kai's face.
"No one has the Immortal Dragon bloodline like you! No one is a reincarnation of the Incredible Men! No one! Almost no one can control life and death except you!!!"

"Is it my fault that I was born this way?!"
"But it's your fault for questioning me!!!"
As the two looked at each other, a bitter smile enveloped them, sealing their fate.
"My past is none of your business, but my future is yours to decide!!!"
At that moment, Ryuga sprayed a liquid from his mouth and before Kai could even thrust his sword, the heat of it made him drop it to the ground. And then Ryuga's claws moved to rip out Kai's heart.
"Splendor of the black sky!!!"
DARKNESS!!!
Black flames suddenly converged in the sky and entered Ryuga's palm in a single point. At the same moment, Kai threw himself back. As Quentin came to Kai's side, Ryuga formed an arrow from the scales in his hand and stabbed it into Kai's shoulder.
At that moment, a dragon silhouette began to rise from Ryuga's body. Ryuga began to show the true power of the Dragon King.
And Quentin couldn't block the arrow that came out of nowhere. He only used the black flames. Nevertheless, the dragon body that began to form from this energy grew larger and larger. Quentin realized that it was impossible to resist.
"Tcshh! RYUGA!!! I won't hesitate next time!!!"
At the sound of Kai's voice, the sky darkened and Kai raised his sword to the sky.
"Black Heart Lightning!!!"
At that moment, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and disappeared faster than the blink of an eye. This bolt of lightning grabbed them and carried them away.
Ryuga muttered to himself as he looked after Kai. The dragon of the Dragon Laws had disappeared as well.
"I hope not."
***
Almost all the battles had come to an end. After all the explosions, after all the screaming, even an idiot could see that the Hunters were completely defeated. 9th place Ed fought three others. Isaac, Jace, and Reina constantly cornered Ed and put him in bad situations. Ed was already covered in wounds.
But he was still laughing like crazy. He knew that the others had lost. Even though he couldn't have predicted such a thing, it was still a possibility. But still, laughing had to be considered an exaggeration.
"Hahaha, it's me! I'm not dead yet!!!"
'I know what I have to do.'
By now the trio had Ed surrounded on three sides. All three were very tired and had a few wounds, but not as bad as Ed.
"A coward, a lord and a king! You're a really good trio, you destroyed me until the last moment, especially you, the Mortal King! You're the one who benefits the most from this, aren't you? With your kingly talent."
Ed knew he couldn't pit them against each other right now. The other two already knew Jace's specialty. He just didn't want Jace to get stronger after killing him. That was the Mortal King's gift. The more he killed, the stronger he would become, and one day he would transcend his limitations and become the Immortal King. If Ed was killed by Jace, Jace would become much more powerful. It wouldn't make him a rank higher. It would increase his power in the developmental level he had.
That's why it was so easy for the Mortal King to take on someone above his level.
"Just know that it won't be easy!"
"You will die here with me!!!"
Ed suddenly jumped out of his seat and appeared in front of Reina, not caring about his blood splattered body. Reina couldn't even react to his speed. Ed put his palm right into Reina's stomach.
"Reina!
"Reina!!!"
Jace and Isaac hadn't expected such an attack. Reina didn't even react.
Before the next attack could happen, Jace appeared in front of Ed. He swung his sword horizontally into Ed's mouth. This time he wanted to split his head in two.
But at that moment the sword went through Ed and he attacked Jace again. This time, however, Jace was prepared. As the skull mark appeared on his forehead, he grabbed Ed's forehead and slammed him to the ground.
There was an explosion and the earth shattered.
But he knew Ed wouldn't die that way. It was a coward who had to make the last move!
Ed grabbed Jace's hand between his legs and with a crunch Jace's arm snapped, but Ed had no chance to escape. Isaac appeared before him!
"Ancient Soul Drain!!!"
Normally, Ancient techniques hadn't been seen for billions of years, but Kai had found one in the Garden of Eden and given it to Isaac to help him. This way, Isaac could fight anyone whose spirit was weaker than his.
The two fought a great battle. Their fists flew in the air, but no one saw. Punches and kicks flew. Heads were separated and reunited. Hours passed. Despite everything, Isaac was still weaker than him. Ed was on the verge of destroying Isaac's soul.
But then an unexpected attack turned everything upside down. Ed was convinced that he would be the victor in a battle that would last for hours, but at that moment, Jace broke through the spirit barrier and plunged his sword into Ed's chest.
This battle is described very briefly, but it lasted a very long time. Ed and the Developers fought for hours. Ed's strength was much greater than theirs. And that made it difficult for them to win, even though there were only three of them with serious wounds.
Ed's soul returned to his body, but it would not last long. If he had killed Isaac. Then he could have tricked them and entered Isaac's body.
But Isaac was back in his body and breathing deeply. It was the first time he had been out of his body for so long.
"Hahahahaha! You really got me! Too bad I don't have the ability to explode myself! But the plan is still a success!"
Reina had mostly healed himself, but he still had wounds. And after resting for a while, he would be fine. And he was glad that this war was over. At Ed's words, he gave him a threatening look.
"What are you talking about?"
"Why do you think we really came here?! It was just a diversion! It's too late now!!!"
The evil smile on Ed's face froze all three of them.
"We already know where you are..."
For Jace, for Isaac or for Reina....
They were not heartless people and they were not stupid. They could have foreseen what would happen and what did happen. They all had friends and pain that they loved as much as family.
But to lose that pain could mean to lose themselves.
Jace was perhaps the quickest of them all to realize what was happening. Ed was definitely going to die. But after all this time... If what they had done had been a mistake...
"Lena!"
Jace couldn't let go of his pain. He was heartbroken, heartbroken, but how could he let the woman he loved die? How could he call himself a man after that?
Jace turned around quickly. He packed his things and prepared to leave for the academy. Reina wanted to leave as well, but his injuries were much worse than Isaac's and Jace's. As soon as he moved, he stopped to rest.
"Isaac, let's go! Reina can find the others and come after!"
Jace spoke urgently. Every second they lost could be worth a life.
But Isaac froze. A light flickered in his eyes. His hands were shaking and before his eyes an army was attacking Atlantia. His body was frozen. He fought Ed, but even then he was on the verge of death. Against one man, but against thousands.... He couldn't do it. He couldn't go there....
He was afraid.
"Come on Isaac!!!"
Reina shouted too, but Isaac didn't listen. He didn't see and he didn't hear. He just stood there, unable to move.
Finally, Jace cursed and left. Reina, Isaac and Ed were left, but the only sound that came out was Ed's laughter.
"Hahahahahahahah!!! Just like I thought!!! Yeah!!! Just like I thought!"
Ed finally stopped laughing and looked at Isaac's frozen face with a contemptuous smile on his face. In this world, it was always the cowards who were hated by everyone, by every race, by every creature. It was always the lowest of the low who ran from war.
That's why I hated Isaac, Ed looked at him with contempt. And he said.
"You're still a cowardly boy!"
