Kai Lane: Beginning

Everything happened within seconds. Dokuo had managed to get in front of Lena very quickly. His daggers were strong enough to cut even the strongest metal like paper. A green liquid dripped from the tips and made holes in the ground. Lena couldn't reach them, and even if she could, she would be weakened by the green poison dripping on her. It was the boy with the sharp katana in his hand, one eye glowing with a green light, who saved Lena's life in that fleeting moment.

As Jack's sword and daggers clashed, Jack's jade eye left a trail. His gaze saw Dokuo's weaknesses. Jack lifted his foot and kicked Dokuo in the stomach.

Dokuo was thrown back a few ten steps by the kick to his stomach and fell to his knees. But then he lifted his head and the horrible mask spread terror again.

Sensing this, Jack turned his head in Lena's direction. Lena didn't even understand what was happening.

"Whatever you're doing, hurry, I can't hold him for long!"

No matter how many Jade Eyes Jack had. No matter how Misty Thief he was. He could feel Dokuo's power in his bones. This man was not normal. And neither was this mask...

At that moment, Dokuo appeared in front of Jack. He didn't walk in front of him. He appeared right in front of him. When Jack saw this, he realized how fast he was and he realized how far his power extended.

This man could fight someone from Step 2 on the ground.

The difference between Step 2 and Step 1 was not a simple one. Great geniuses had wanted to pass this level. What great kings, what great titans. Such differences were unbelievable differences to overcome.

This proved what kind of monster Michael was, who had easily killed someone at Step 3 in the 1st Sky Battle when he was halfway through Step 3.

When Lena quickly put her hands together, she finally made the medicine. This way, there would be a way to heal everyone.

But at that moment, Dokuo swung his daggers at Jack's head. Jack saw it slower than usual, but he could barely keep up. His sword reached the daggers, but not fast enough to see that there was no hand on the hilt of those daggers. The daggers were tossed aside by the attack.

CRACK!!!

Before Jack could lower his head, Dokuo's hands grabbed Jack's katana. Jack could only stare at the horrible mask and Dokuo plunged Jack's own sword into his stomach.

This sharp sword also pierced Jack's chest and entered Lena's abdomen, shattering the medicine Lena had created.

As if it was all over, the building crackled. The lower layers had disintegrated and the building without a foundation slowly collapsed.

Jack spat a handful of blood onto Dokuo's mask as the sword entered his chest. Lena fell to the ground in the same way, clutching her stomach. Blood came out of her mouth as well.

"You bastard!"

Jack shouted angrily as he saw the potion shatter, but Dokuo said nothing to him. And he took a few steps back. The cracks of the building below them were visible.

At that moment, neither Jace, who was heading towards the city at full speed, nor Kai and the others, who were heading towards the city at full speed, knew that Jack and Lena were on the verge of death. Each of them was moving towards the city with an ugly expression on their faces.

'Lena... Don't die!'

But Jace's inner voice did not reach Lena.

'What was I living for?'

The base of the building collapsed and Jack pulled the sword out of his chest. The sword was also out of Lena's chest, but she did not heal. Jack's sword and the poison from Dokuo's daggers mixed together. Jack closed his eyes before he could do anything. He fainted. And the longer he remained unconscious, the closer he came to death. The only way to avoid this poison was to be conscious. And an unconscious person couldn't resist it. Lena was in a semi-conscious state. She fought to keep her eyes open as the structure collapsed beneath her.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

'I.... Forget about it! I've made countless mistakes, and I've gone so far as to deserve death. I've pissed off who knows how many people, not to mention Jace...'

The building began to collapse, and as Jack fell to the ground, so did the building. Dokuo stayed on top of the building, just waiting to see what would happen.

Lena gave in to the bleeding in her chest and let herself fall onto the rocks. She was already possessed by the demon in her subconscious. Lena also realized that it had something to do with Dokuo's mask that made her accept death, but she didn't have the strength to resist it.

'Once upon a time, on a distant star, there was a little princess. She was very lonely because of her family, and her pain was something that no one could heal. For this wound was not physical. People who had developed a sense of love could not heal it. But she didn't give in to her fate, Lena.'

' The little princess worked hard and hard. She learned the way of the heart, the way of love. She put her heart out as a healer. And what she became was the queen of pure healing. '

'The princess, who did not submit to loneliness, created a domain in the last days of her life. This became her ultimate technique and went down in history as a domain that many people envied. '

'The little princess called it the Pure Healing Domain. The creation of this domain shortened her life. But before she died... All her loneliness was erased.'

' You understand, right, Lena? It is not that hard to achieve something in this life, as long as you do not give up. You just have to do your best and put your heart into it. As the current Queen of Pure Healing, it is your duty to do what those before you have done. '

Lena opened her eyes.

'You have to protect your friends! '

Lena turned her body towards Jack between the falling buildings and kicked him out of the rubble. Lena was completely upside down when the building collapsed.

"What are you doing?"

Dokuo finally spoke in a muffled voice and looked at Lena. Lena frowned and looked at Dokuo with the light of life in her eyes despite the bleeding in her chest.

"I'm protecting my friends!!"

Lena clapped her hands together and the light from her hands spread through the city at full speed. Aura turned into energy, energy turned into a domain Everyone affected by the wave recognized its owner.

'LENA!!!'

"Pure healing domain!!!"

The field that came out of Lena's body covered the entire city and hit Dokuo's body for a moment. Dokuo paused for a moment and then spoke.

"You really can do Field!"

The Domain was something that could normally be done at 2nd level, and it was something that couldn't be touched without a Half-Step, like Laws or Forbidden King techniques. However, very talented geniuses could do Field while they were still at the Half Step 2. Kaido had even said that he was one of the few people among the 13 leaders who could do Field.

So it wasn't hard to understand that this was something unique. Even at step 2, it was difficult to create a domain. And now, Lena had created the Legendary Pure Healing Domain.

"You're really talented, but I can't let you do that!"

Dokuo said at the same time, and a terrifying energy spread out from his mask and landed on Lena's Domain. All the people who felt like they were being healed were crushed under the pressure once again.

"It's not that easy!!"

As the power of the pure healing domain instantly broke through Dokuo's domain, the mask on Dokuo's face also broke at the same time. Dokuo's astonished expression could be seen at that moment. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

'The difference between our domains caused my domain and my mask to disappear. Shit! If there are a few more half steps, I'll be in big trouble!'

"Not only to make a domain before going to Step 2, but to make such a strong field!!! With these wounds.... You will definitely die! Why are you still continuing!?"

Dokuo wanted to leave, but he knew. He knew that Lena would die soon. He wondered why she still continued.

Finally, Lena fell to the ground and let out a terrible scream. A smile appeared on her bloody mouth just before the wall crashed down on her.

"I told you so."

PAAATTTT....!!!

And at that moment, the building collapsed completely. Dokuo stood on the ruins and looked as if there was something under the building. But he knew. There was someone.

At that moment, 4 different people appeared on 4 sides of Dokuo. All of them had a layer of energy around them. They were the terrifying Half Steps of this city.

Jace, Alvar, Kai, Quentin. All four of them had drawn their swords and were not thinking. They had sensed Lena and they knew that something was about to happen. They knew the danger. They saw the hunter!

At that moment, 4 bright lights lit up the sky. 4 different powerful techniques were formed. 4 different swords covered with the power of Black Lightning, covered with Buddha's Light, covered with Black Flames, and covered with Death Energy advanced towards Dokuo at that moment.

'This is how I will end up'

PRRRÇÇHH....

4 sharp swords cut Dokuo into 4 different pieces.

The 5th leader of the hunters. The best assassin had died like this. With the traces of the Great War behind him....
