Kai Lane: Beginning

While the two attacks clashed in the middle, the others didn't just sit there and watch. Each person performed their own special moves, incorporating their Laws into them. These moves were all very powerful, and the fact that six people were attacking one person like this could have been a topic of discussion in the outside world for a long time.

'Their Laws are too powerful. I can't compete with them in that regard. After all, I can't even use Laws in my attacks. But still…'

Various attacks accompanied by the silhouette of a dragon and ancient symbols collided where Kai stood.

Each one of them wanted to see Kai die. They had come after seeing Afro's emergency request. There was actually no need for people as powerful as them to come for someone like Afro. However, Afro had always shown them the Formation, and they had been close friends with him for 100 years. They weren't close to him because he was powerful; they were close to him because he was interested in many things.

They couldn't fathom that something bad had happened to him. They thought they could handle anything as long as they went in person. But they understood what had gone wrong.

Proof stood before them! They had seen it with their own eyes, yet they still couldn't believe it. This man... How could he mimic Ryuga's King ability?

At that moment, one of the hunters heard a demonic voice right next to his ear.

"The sun is in front of you. The light is shining on your face. You can see everything, but you can't see the shadow behind you."

As the hunter heard the voice, blood splattered onto his shoulder. Blood flowed from Kai's mouth. He had narrowly escaped the combined attack. At the last moment, he had noticed the angle of the sun's strike. His claws had grown, and he threatened the Hunter's life by pressing them against his throat.

Suddenly, Kai turned his gaze to the others, clenched his teeth, and extended his other hand toward them.

"Underground Spirit Control!"

With Kai's shout, the spirits of the other five hunters were pinned to the spot. They all understood instantly. If they moved, their spirits would separate from their bodies. This man would most likely tear their spirits apart and kill them.

But the current situation was no different!

Why did they have this feeling that these abilities belonged to other kings?

It was impossible for them to get an answer, though. With blood dripping from his mouth, Kai just looked at them with contempt. Now, they understood why he looked at them that way. Fortunately, something happened that quickly changed Kai's demeanor.

A voice was heard.

"Don't you dare touch them, you basta—don't touch them!!!!!"

The voice was angry, but controlled, and seemed to have noticed a few things. That's why, just as he was about to call Kai a "bastard," he managed to control himself and avoid turning to stone.

It was obvious from every angle. This man was more experienced than the seven people in front of him. He probably hadn't planned to join the fight until Kai's secrets were revealed. However, when one of the seven hunters died and the other six were on the verge of death, he had no choice but to step in.

Unfortunately, Kai didn't care. Hearing the man's voice, he made his move because he had to act quickly.

He withdrew his hand, and the souls of five hunters left their bodies. At the same moment, he pulled his palm away from the other Hunter's throat. Of course, he had also torn the Hunter's throat apart.

When Kai pulled the souls out, a vortex appeared in the air. It couldn't be seen, nor could the screams coming from inside be heard. When the souls entered it, the vortex disappeared.

Neither Kai nor the man had seen the vortex, though. To them, the spirits had simply vanished.

"You!"

The next second, the hunter who had been screaming appeared in front of Kai. There wasn't even a meter between them. The man looked like an ordinary person with black hair and a beard. His eyes were slightly red, but when his emotions surfaced, the redness turned green and disappeared. Unlike the others, this man had reached the peak of the orange lightning in both of his emotions.

Kai and the man were so close that he could make out every detail on the man's face. The man held a sword in his hand. The intense feeling of the laws concentrated on the sword. The sword moved toward Kai's heart.

But that was all. It did not pierce his heart.

"You underestimated me, Sword Hunter."

Kai's body turned into black flames and passed through the Sword Hunter. As he passed through, Kai burned countless points on the Sword Hunter's body with black flames. The black flames were so powerful that they destroyed the Sword Hunter's tough skin as if it were nothing.

When Kai appeared behind the Sword Hunter, he whispered,

"Authority..."

VIINNN!!!

The Sword Hunter froze for a moment. Kai's hand remained within the black lightning as he casually struck the Sword Hunter's chest, sending him flying.

After that, Kai began to fall from the sky.

From the beginning, Kai couldn't fly. He had only managed to stay airborne this long by holding onto the other Hunters. When he had no one left to hold onto, he began to fall toward the ground.

This time, however, Kai didn't have a relaxed expression on his face. His face was turned toward the ground as he moved at full speed, blocking the air pressure. As he approached the ground, he clenched his teeth even tighter.

"It's now or never!"

"Hybrid Dragon Wings!"

From the beginning, Kai couldn't fly. He had only managed to stay airborne this long by holding onto the other Hunters. When he had no one left to hold onto, he began to fall toward the ground.

"It's now or never!"

"Hybrid Dragon Wings!"

Suddenly, two two-meter dragon wings pierced his back and emerged, covered in blood. As he approached the ground, they cut through the air, slowing him down. A smile slowly appeared on Kai's face. He could fly like this for a while and blend in with the human crowd. If he could reach a human city, he might find someone who could defeat the man who attacked him.

TIRIRIRIM!!!

"Xuanwu Turtle!"

"Die!"

Kai's chest and back took on the shape of the Xuanwu turtle's durable shell. The next moment, two white swords descended from the sky and pierced his wings.

"AAAHHH!"

The swords passed through his wings and aimed for his face. There were now less than ten meters between him and the ground. It was the perfect opportunity for the swords to pierce him!

But defeating Kai wasn't that easy. His wings bent, saving him from hitting the ground head-on. However, he was still less than 40 cm above the ground. Kai slammed into the ground, rolled, and slid across the earth. Having missed their target, the swords had long since returned to their owners.

"Blending in with humans has become a lie."

Kai tried to endure the pain in his chest and tucked his wings back so they wouldn't weigh him down. He wouldn't be able to summon them again anyway.

Without waiting for anyone, Kai began to run forward. He had to get as far away as possible. Fighting was the last thing he should do. That's why he lost his half-dragon wings. Those wings weren't his. That's why they wouldn't heal with his healing power alone. Now that he was no longer a healer, it was impossible for him to heal them.

"You won't escape anywhere!"
