Kai Lane: Beginning

Dokuo's lifeless body slowly fell to the ground. The 4 Half Steps had killed the weakened Dokuo and the people slowly came to their senses. Tears welled up in the eyes of those who saw their fallen friends and screams echoed everywhere. The loss of so many lives with only the 5th leader coming to the city was very frightening.

Some people were even so scared that they made a breakthrough in their education even though they were in the Purple Lightning.

At that moment, Jace slowly turned around and his eyes widened for a moment as he looked at the destroyed parts of the building. At that moment, he could feel the center of the Pure Healing Domain.

Jace placed his hand on one of the fallen pieces and with a simple gesture tossed the piece of the building aside. Beneath it was a bloodied Lena. There was a hole in her chest and it was hard to tell if she was alive or dead.

Meanwhile, Kevin and Zachery were already healing Jack. Jace's lips were trembling and his fists were clenched, even as he tried to put on an emotionless expression. He stood until a hand touched his shoulder.

Jace turned his head to see the deep blue eyes of the blond teenager. Kai could only look at him sadly and pulled Jace back. Two horns protruded from his head as Kai stepped forward.

"Kai-"

"I'll do my best."

Though not as good as Lena, Kai's master was the Guardian of the Heart Path. And he could still help her in her soul. Although Randal had always been a joking man, he was just as skilled a healer as Eros. It must be remembered that it was he who healed Fenrir.

Kai began to heal Lena under the orders of his master and continued. But there was a problem. His master's voice grew fainter and fainter.

"Is something wrong?"

Kai asked his master, but his master did not answer. Kai didn't ask any more. The soul was a very mysterious thing. Kai's knowledge about the soul was very limited. Still, the limitation of their memories at first, and the fact that they forgot what they had learned later, indicated that something was wrong.

While Kai was healing Lena, Jace turned his head and looked at the people. There were people crying and people who still couldn't get up. There were people writhing in pain, and there was only one culprit.

Jace's bloodshot eyes found Isaac directly.

"It's your fault! If you had come with me, we could have gotten here sooner! You could have stopped the Slayer if you were in the Spirit!!! Then no one would have gotten hurt like this!!! Lena wouldn't be so hurt!!!"

At that moment, Jace teleported in front of Isaac and his hands found his collar. Isaac shivered for a moment. The pressure of Jace being the King of Mortals and his bloodshot eyes was too much for him to bear.

"Then I could have died too..."

"So!?!? I always knew you were a coward, but you!!! YOU-"

Jace almost broke Isaac's neck at that moment, but a hand stopped him. There were only a handful of people in the city who could have stopped him, and half of them were now injured.

Jace's bloodshot eyes met the young man with his long hair hanging down behind his back. Alvar frowned and his look was not friendly at all.

"Let him go."

"YOU!!!"

Jace's aura thickened and in one simple move, Jace threw Isaac into a corner. Isaac barely made it through a few walls. Blood poured out of his mouth.

Seeing this, Alvar opened his eyes and his violent aura exploded, creating a Buddha covered in purple lightning behind him. At the same time, a skull the size of Alvar's Buddha formed behind Jace, covered in a dark red aura. Their auras collided in the center as the two looked at each other with hostile gazes. Pieces of the building were pulverized by the force of their auras. Dokuo's body was thrown into the air and disappeared.

"I think that's enough."

WHOOOOOSHH!!!

Finally, Quentin's Black Flames formed a wall between the two, separating them. Alvar went to Isaac's side while Jace went to Lena's. Even though Alvar knew that Jace was not quite himself, he was really angry that he had acted so thoughtlessly. It was really stupid to hurt someone on your own side like that!

When Jace went to Kai and Lena, he noticed that Emma was there too. Jack was better now, and they were trying to close the hole in his chest, as he was a little worse for wear from his previous injuries.

"Kai... How is Lena?"

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Jace was worried. He knew he was wrong to yell at Isaac, but how could he just sit on the sidelines and not tell Isaac that he was a coward? If Isaac had helped a little... .... Anyway, there was no point now.

"'She's starting to heal herself, but I don't know when she'll wake up. You can take her with you. It would be good for her to rest."

Kai looked down at his hands with a sigh as he said his last words. Really... Something was happening between him and his past lives.

Jace looked down and saw Lena. It was possible to tell that Lena was feeling a little better. But Jace still felt that he shouldn't have carried her himself. If her death aura infected Lena, Lena's healing might slow down or worse, stop!

At that moment, one of Lena's apprentices arrived quickly and disappeared with Jace.

Meanwhile, a tall young man lay in the rubble. The collapse of the building hadn't hurt him much. He had thick skin and his wounds had only been caused by Dokuo, unlike the ones Lena had used to create the Pure Healing Domain.

In front of him, a young man stood with black hair, not too long but not too short either. Although he was not wearing anything thick, it was difficult for humans to see the incredible muscles underneath his body. The armor Fury wore allowed his muscles to form around his body. That was why he didn't look like a giant.

"Kronos, don't worry. I know you did your best."

Fury moved slowly, slipped under Kronos' arm and began to move forward. No one noticed them, but Fury had a worried look in his eyes.

"It's not over, Kronos... Everything is just beginning."

Fury's words were unintelligible, but he had a premonition. He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. All he could do was connect that feeling with what was happening.

"I'd better get you to a safe place."

Reina took Orion with her while Fury and Kronos left. The little tiger licked Isaac's bloodied cheek and someone was already healing him. Kai looked up and saw the dead and wounded for miles along the road. There was screaming and wailing. People were afraid. Kai was afraid. Responsibility for so many people.... Was he supposed to protect them?

Couldn't he just run away?

Couldn't he activate the device in his master's cave and wait for days? Eventually, someone would come. Even if it would be years later.

Kai's trembling had become visible. The responsibility he was taking on was so different from that of a normal 18 year old.

At that moment, a soft and sweet hand, all the fragrant flowers Kai could think of, filled Kai's nose. This soft hand held Kai's hand. Kai didn't have to turn his head. In his eyes, no one else could smell like that.

"You don't have to push yourself too hard."

Kai was still staring at Atlantia when Emma's voice reached his ears. The human's gaze was filled with fear, but it was also filled with anger. But their fear was strong enough to drown out the anger.

That's why there was a constant crackling sound in the city.

New people were crossing the borders all the time!

There was even a Half Step among them!!!

Most of the people were stuck at the top of Purple Lightning Peak. All they needed was a push. Even though Atlantia was very special, they were still not Half Steps. And after that, the level of development became irrelevant. They needed to improve their technique.

And Kai was still responsible for protecting this city and keeping the people calm. But even now, he didn't know what to do.

"What are you talking about, Emma? You know I can't just leave. Not force myself? That's impossible..."

Kai knew he would be exhausted and in bad shape. The weight on his back would make him collapse.

At that moment, Emma quickly pulled Kai's ear and dropped Kai into her lap before Kai could react. Kai's face turned bright red as he landed on Emma's legs. He was incredibly stiff, afraid that he had landed in the wrong place.

Any man in this position would have been in the same situation.

When the two teal eyes met, Kai met Emma's hard gaze.

"You're about to become Half Step-"

"Never mind my development! You're coming with me tomorrow! I won't accept any protests! The point is made here!"

Kai swallowed as Emma glared at him. Summer was coming, but Emma was still wearing a long skirt. She looked like an ordinary townswoman, but Kai could feel in his head that there was something metallic underneath the skirt.

What was under Emma's skirt?!?!?!

Was it... Was it a weight?

Kai couldn't help swallowing, but he couldn't leave the city like that.

"But..."

"I'll take care of the town!"

Then Emma stood up and saw Quentin looking directly at where Elena and Clara were. Just as Quentin was about to walk over, Emma slapped him on the head.

"You are being punished for getting lost at this crucial time and not following the rules. You will take over Kai's duties for one day. Is that clear?"

Quentin turned his head to see Emma's calm expression. A few people in the crowd trembled at her expression.

Quentin was about to say no when he saw Kai's warning behind Emma's back, as if to say 'don't'. But why did they listen to Emma?

"I wonder... Who am I talking to right now?"

Quentin knew Emma, of course, but he wondered who she was talking as. He hadn't been here for a long time.

Emma straightened her posture and her aura expanded to the size of nobility. Quentin could have sworn that Emma had never emitted such an aura in Red Lightning City.

"You're talking to the head of the Criminal Investigation Department."

Quentin didn't know what to say for a moment. One of the people began to send a message to Quentin's mind.

Listening to the message, Quentin swallowed and his eyes went to Elena for a moment. Emma's behavior in this situation scared him even more.

"Uh-huh."

"Well, start now and give a speech tomorrow to calm people down."

What Quentin heard there was exactly what Emma had done. When Emma arrived in Atlantia City, she was chosen by the board to be the head of the Crime Department. She learned too late what a terrible mistake that was.

The Department of Crime was set up to prevent the different academies from fighting each other. After all, there might have been grudges between them. Even though the World Tournament was canceled, what happened at the World Tournament could not be changed quickly.

In the beginning, Emma always used Kai. Those who were afraid of Kai stopped fighting when she came directly.

But then there were those who weren't afraid of Kai and spoke up bravely. But this time, Emma challenged them to an ambitious arm wrestling match and stripped them down to their underwear.

Then she pulled out the green paper, a mana weapon. It revealed bad things about these people, and there was a great danger that it would fall into Emma's hands.

All the lovers who didn't follow the rules broke up. All friendships were broken and many other things happened.

Emma kept punishing and punishing. She made henchmen and with them she heard some of their shameful secrets and used them to humiliate them.

That's what really scared Quentin!

Emma had collected so many strange mana weapons!

But no one thought it was strange. After all....

Emma was Kai's girlfriend.
