Kai Lane: Beginning

The battle was already fierce, but after the lightning bolt from the sky, things spiraled out of control. The Titled Ones had amassed enough power to split the skies and change the face of the earth. Only a few ordinary people, like Jack or Tank, could compete with them.

Another strange situation occurred on the battlefield. While the Hunters attacked with deadly force, the same could not be said for the developmentalists. Surprisingly, they were in formation, led by a woman at the forefront of the army.

The blonde woman spoke with incredible killing intent, and those who knew her well were reluctant to oppose her. Her words were drastically changing the course of the battle.

Clara was acting like a true general.

In the center of the Developmentalists sat Kevin. In his meditative stance, he dispersed the Shadow Field across the entire battlefield, and he was there for his own safety. The crown mark that appeared on his forehead after the lightning made him even more intimidating.

Then, a circle appeared. Within it were developers with long-range attacks. In front of them were numerous formations fighting their enemies under Clara's direction.

Tank was engaged in a one-on-one battle with Raiya. Normally, Raiya would never have been a match for Tank, but he now possessed Divine Potential too. So he could fight Tank.

The other two leaders were being held by different people. One was fighting three Legends; however, since the Hunter was also a King, the odds were even.

Still, all three Legends now held titles, and the Hunter was under pressure.

The other leader was fighting Quentin.

Meanwhile, Jack, Jace, and Melony had joined the fray and were leading a massacre.

Zachery and John went with a group to protect the wounded.

The battle that had raged since the beginning of the war continued.

Boyd and Alvar were fighting the Cannibal King!

Although Boyd and Alvar initially had the upper hand, the Cannibal King was still the king. However, those two had awakened their potential. Still, the difference was clear.

In their current state, they were weak.

And it showed in this battle. The Cannibal King was completely out of his element. He jumped from side to side, devouring others' organs. This made him incredibly dangerous.

His current power was shattering his ranking among the Hunters.

The Cannibal King struck a blow, and Boyd's head sank into the ground. Then, he caught the sword as it came at him, as if it were a simple thing, and swung it away. Even though Alvar released the sword, the Cannibal King's newly formed arms punched Alvar so hard in the stomach that he was forced to spit out blood and fly back.

The sudden impact of the lightning had put many in danger, and now Boyd and Alvar were in the same situation.

"Haha! What makes you think you can beat me now? Huh?!"

The Cannibal King lifted Boyd by the neck, revealing his bloody face.

Then, he pounded Boyd's face repeatedly with his fists. Boyd was once considered one of Red Lightning Academy's future geniuses. He placed second in the Regional Tournament in his first year. Without Kai, first place would have been nothing but a dream.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

As fists repeatedly slammed into his face, all Boyd could hear was the Cannibal King's laughter.

Defeating him seemed impossible!

'But would I have made it here without Kai?'

Yes, Kai had defeated him once before, easily. The difference between them was like heaven and earth. Kai's power was comparable to Orange Lightning. I barely managed to use a Cursed Sword to increase my power to Green Lightning.

'I've wanted to compete with him all this time.'

As Kai fell from the sky with Ryuga, Boyd could only stare at him from the ground. That's when he realized something. There was still a big difference between them.

It was just like the first Regional Tournament.

The difference between them was like heaven and earth.

'Am I really going to lose to a man like this? Am I going to die here?'

As the Cannibal King repeatedly slammed his fists into Boyd's face, it was no longer visible. There was only blood. He was unrecognizable.

"Huh?"

But at that moment, Boyd opened his eyes. He was looking directly into the Cannibal King's eyes. The Cannibal King frowned when he realized this.

'If I can get out of here... If I leave here alive, I promise, I will do my best to be strong enough to compete with you.'

Boyd instantly lifted both legs and wrapped them around the Cannibal King's neck.

"If the only way to kill you is to cut off your head, then I'll do it!"

Boyd had taken a lot of punches, but he was a Rager and a user of anger, and he was in Half-Step 2. It was impossible to incapacitate him with just a few punches to the face.

"You...!"

The Cannibal King reached out and grabbed Boyd on either side. The time for fun was over. It was time to show the true face of War!!

He was going to split Boyd in two.

"As if I'd let him!"

At that moment, however, a sword of light appeared and sliced off the Cannibal King's arms. The sword light contained a purple lightning-covered Buddha, and inside the Buddha was a long-haired youth. The usually calm youth was so angry now that he nearly broke his teeth.

"Your turn will come too. There's no need to be so hasty!"

The Cannibal King's countless hands stirred, first grabbing Alvar's sword, then his arm.

"Fuck off!"

The Cannibal King threw Alvar and his sword in opposite directions. First, he would cut Boyd in half; then, he would crush Alvar's skull.

Unlike Alvar's sword, Alvar didn't let go of the Cannibal King's arm. He gained momentum and charged toward his head. Once he was over the ten-foot-tall Cannibal King, Alvar grabbed his head and supported Boyd.

RAAAAAAAAGGG!!!!

The duo grabbed the Cannibal King's head with all their might. They had to tear off the head now or die right there.

"FUCKING BREAK!"

Purple lightning bolts shot from Alvar's body and spread throughout the Cannibal King. Sizzling sounds accompanied the tearing apart of the Cannibal King's organs, but he had too many. To kill him, they had to destroy his head.

"Fifty Shades of Buddha!"

Alvar's katana suddenly flew out of his hand and plunged straight into the Cannibal King's heart.

But that wasn't enough! This man had more than one heart!

"Are your games over?!"

The Cannibal King suddenly grabbed Alvar with one hand and collided with Boyd, whom he had grabbed by the throat.

BOOM....!!!

The duo crashed to the ground in an explosion, leaving them with no hope. The power differential was too great. There was nothing they could do. They could only blame themselves for their weakness.

The Cannibal King raised his hand. He could kill them at any moment. He threw his arm across his chest, drawing the sword and hurling it at the two of them.

At least, that was his plan.

But then he did something he should never have done. The Cannibal King looked up at the Western Forest. A black-haired youth emerged from the forest. He was covered in blood. But that didn't matter. Who on this battlefield wasn't covered in blood? What mattered were his gaze and his stance. Bent at the waist, he stood like a wild animal. His eyes held a bloodthirsty gaze. If anyone looked more closely, they would see that he was a human. The crown tattoo on his forehead confirmed his status as King.

At that moment, Isaac turned his head and locked eyes with the Cannibal King. The Cannibal King wasn't afraid of any of these traits, but he felt his heart stop for a second when their eyes met.

He could have sworn he heard Isaac growl.

'Is this a real monster?!'

Despite being so far away, Isaac still conveyed a sense of danger.

'I can't let him get close! I have to run!"

ĞĞĞĞĞĞRRR....

Isaac's growls echoed in the Cannibal King's ears like thunder. He had completely forgotten about killing Alvar and Boyd. He only had one thing on his mind:

RUN!

Strange things had happened on this battlefield, and the Cannibal King was convinced that such a person could exist. He couldn't hesitate! The Second Sky War was a war fought with monsters.

The Cannibal King took a few steps back. Though only a few seconds had passed since he looked in his direction, the Cannibal King had already begun cursing upon noticing Isaac's return.

He turned around and tried to flee.

But the moment he turned, a barrel was thrust into his mouth.

His eyes widened as he saw only the young man staring at him with hatred. The young man had the shotgun in his hand, thrust into the Cannibal King's mouth. The look in the young man's eyes made the Cannibal King tremble. It was unquestioning hatred.

No matter what he did, he could not take it away. Only death could cure it.

The time had finally come for him to pay the price for everything he had done.

For every person he had eaten.

Their emotions were concentrated in the tip of the weapon. Before the trigger clicked, the Cannibal King could hear only the voice of the man before him. He clutched his shotgun as if it were his closest friend.

"This is for my friends."

BOOOOOOMMM...!!!!!
