Kai Lane: Beginning

Orion took one last look at Zachery and then he realized what he had to do. He had to save everyone. Why had he become stronger? Wasn't it to protect the friends he had and the friends he had made? After 10 years of being alone, hadn't he promised himself that he would never be alone again?

A deep energy rose in Orion's body. As the Yama energy integrated into his body, everyone knew that only Yama could do this in all the universes.

Except Orion.

Dokuo had noticed Orion as well. He didn't believe that anyone could build such a formation that could purify his poison in such a short time, but this powerless man lying on the ground had done it when he was so weak. It was either a talent or he had a very special mana weapon that allowed him to do it.

He knew it was because of the crystal in Zachery's hand because such a gift could not exist.

But Dokuo was an honorable man. He would not steal his enemy's possessions before he was dead. Of course, he could take care of his things after he was dead. After all, a dead person didn't need things.

"I'll kill you first."

Dokuo spoke calmly. He grabbed Kronos by the neck to gently pick him up from where he had thrown him and tossed him aside as if he was a small piece of garbage, and then Orion and Dokuo rushed forward and collided in the middle.

In the city, very few people knew that Orion was actually the Half-Step. After all, the hunters could find out about Orion if there was an agent among them. That had to be their secret trick when Kai and the others left the city. They couldn't just leave the city empty. Those 3 months were actually the time Orion was given to become a Half-Step. Meanwhile, Jace and Alvar, who were already Half Steps, were already in anticipation.

At that moment, when the Yama energy hit Dokuo, Dokuo jumped back and grabbed his hand. An energy slowly rose from the glove on his hand. Without letting this energy touch his skin, Dokuo immediately tore the fabric of his sleeve and threw it to the ground. The piece soon wore out, weakened and disappeared.

It grew old.

"What the hell is this?"

Dokuo of course did not know what it was. It had been hundreds of billions of years since Yama had reached the Levels, and to see its energy, one had to die or go to the Ancestral Realm.

Orion didn't care about him. By killing him, he had a chance to save everyone.

"So it's an aging energy... Then how can you touch this energy?"

Orion didn't answer him, he just jumped up and swung his fist at Dokuo's face. He only had to hit Dokuo's face once. Then he could guarantee that he would die.

Either his heart or his brain, he only had to shorten the life of one of them. Then, he could kill him.

But Dokuo was fast, even though they were both Half-Steps. A new Half-Step like Orion couldn't keep up with him.

At that moment, Lena slowly got to her feet and started to crawl towards the healing center. She moved very slowly and this time, she tried very hard not to let Dokuo notice her.

Defeating Dokuo by any means will not heal the others, I have to save them before anyone else dies" Even if Dokuo died, everyone else could die as well. The only thing they had against the hunters was their numbers, but they must have lost many already. Even the Geniuses were barely awake, they were certainly unconscious and many of the Developmentalists might be dead. The weak could not withstand the poison.

Meanwhile, Dokuo used his daggers mercilessly and blocked Orion. However, Orion was too stubborn and tried again and again to splash his Yama Energy at Dokuo. Dokuo was able to dodge these attacks in several ways. But it was clear from his desperate face that he was not worried.

Finally, Orion stood still. He also realized that he could not defeat Dokuo like this. Above all, he was getting tired and Dokuo was still intact.

"So I have to push the limits a bit more."

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

Orion closed his eyes and breathed deeply. He waited until Dokuo did something to him and wondered what he would do. It would be interesting to see new things.

Orion let out a breath. The Yama energy that had gathered on his skin slowly traveled to his feet and then dissipated into the ground. At the same time, Orion's body was filled with the power of the purified dirt.

Orion inhaled the second breath. The other part of the Yama energy on his skin dissipated into nature, and the energy he had given earlier returned to him. The strength and the life energy of his body increased.

Dokuo's face changed slightly and he sensed danger. However, he only tightened his grip on his daggers so as not to drop them. He did not make a frontal attack.

At that moment, Orion exhaled his third and last breath. With this breath, the energies in his body that forced him to do so disappeared, and the remaining remnants of the poison vanished. As the previous energy returned with it, nature seemed to take on a different color. Even Dokuo was surprised by the change.

Orion became one with the environment.

For someone who grew up in the forest, this was not difficult.

Some people lived in the jungle for hundreds of thousands of years to become one with the environment, but Orion was already born in the jungle. For hundreds of thousands of years, the Developers had tried to be part of nature. Orion had been trying to be part of this world since Michael rescued him.

Orion knew the power of the Yama energy. He was not qualified to use it fully, but he would do his best.

To kill this man!

Dokuo was about to open his mouth to speak when a dark red beam of light appeared in front of him. Dokuo's eyes widened when Orion suddenly appeared in front of him. How could his strength have increased so much with what he had just done?

Of course, neither he nor Orion knew the true name of becoming one with the environment.

Still, the only thing that mattered here was the battle. Orion swung his fist and didn't let Dokuo rest. He didn't have a weapon because there were very few weapons that could withstand the Yama Energy.

Orion's blow was really too fast for Dokuo. At that moment, he realized that he shouldn't hold back anymore.

The marks on Dokuo's face, which were in perfect symmetry with each other, glowed green and grew a little longer, and Dokuo stepped back and jumped up, driving his knee into Orion's face.

But Orion was no longer weak and it did not matter to him that Dokuo's speed increased. Suddenly, he withdrew his advancing fist and grabbed the leg that Dokuo had sent to hit him with his arm.

The smile on Orion's face at that moment reminded Dokuo of the truth he had forgotten.

"Explode!!!"

PAAATTT....!!!

Suddenly, Orion's voice and a not so loud explosion could be heard. This sound came from Dokuo's leg. And the Yama Energy had already entered his leg.

At the same moment, Dokuo swung his other leg and was pushed back while Orion blocked him with his arm. Orion had lost the leg he was holding.

Dokuo immediately jumped back and pulled a needle from his waist and stuck it into his leg. The moment the liquid in the needle entered, Dokuo's leg stopped aging rapidly. It seemed that the Yama energy had started to fight against this liquid for no apparent reason.

As soon as Orion retreated, he lunged backwards and slammed his fist into Dokuo's abdomen. Dokuo could not dodge the attack.

Dokuo was knocked off his feet and his body collapsed against the wall of the Healing House. His leg was weak and he had to make do for a while. Orion was much weaker than him, but his energy was even more dangerous than his poisons.

At that moment, Dokuo scratched his head and looked up to see the surprised woman behind him. Lena had greeted Dokuo with a bottle in her hand as he had demolished the building.

'What is this man doing here?!? Orion, what are you doing? !!!!'

Orion entered the building without even knowing what Lena was thinking. At the same time he was surprised to see Lena and looked back for a moment. Hadn't Lena fallen far away and destroyed buildings?

But Lena couldn't care about that right now. She quickly kicked Dokuo hard in the head and ran away. Dokuo was lifted from the ground by the blow to his head and flew straight towards Orion.

At that moment, Dokuo realized the seriousness of the situation. He didn't dare to prolong it any longer. He had to catch Lena!

In the air, Dokuo's face flashed and he spun in the air under Orion's astonished look and kicked him before Orion had a chance to react.

BOOM!!!

BOOM!!!

BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

Even though it seemed like a simple kick, this attack was fierce. Along with the kick, it also knocked down a few more walls inside the Healing House. With this attack, Orion was so badly damaged that he was almost unable to move. Especially his head. It felt like a rocket had exploded inside his head.

At that moment, he could only see Dokuo's true form. This man's black clothes were still torn, but his face had changed. A green mask had fallen over the scarred face. It only covered the scars and at the same time, black smoke covered his hair and head. He was now a true Assassin.

Orion felt his dark and cold aura and realized why he had been so relaxed all the time.

From the beginning, he had not shown his true strength.

The atmosphere had changed as soon as Dokuo's mask was revealed. Orion and Kronos had been defeated and now, Lena was only waiting for death. Dokuo's stance was that of a predator hunting his prey. After 1 second, he disappeared and appeared on the floor where Lena was.

The building already had 3 floors.

When Dokuo reappeared, he saw Lena at the end of the corridor. She was holding the bottles and channeling her energy. It was obvious from all directions that she was doing something.

She shouldn't have done anything.

Dokuo clenched his fists and drew his daggers. He stretched his legs and whispered out of earshot.

"May your soul rest in peace."
