When Kai picked up his sword and stood up, all 3 Legends straightened up. They couldn't help their excitement when they saw Kai directly open King Mode.
Ivan the Lion was the first to step forward. The claws on his hands suddenly became one with his body and he switched to Lion Mode.
Although the handsome face of the lion-faced Ivan was gone, his strength had increased enough to make him call himself a genius. Although Lion Mode was also a very powerful Mode, it could not be compared to a Mode like King Mode that had reached the Limits of the Body Path.
Ivan quickly swung his claw and made a 0.5 cm deep cut across Kai's chest, not deep. However, Kai's body healed as soon as he made the cut. While Ivan was surprised by the speed of Kai's recovery, he did not see Kai's punch and was thrown back 20 steps with a painful punch to his face.
"You should be punished for hitting that handsome face so recklessly."
While Kai's attention was on Ivan, he could not feel the vines coming towards him from all four sides.
Four vines emerged from the ground, each with a dazzling poison at the end of its thorns. Kai might have made the strongest poison, but by the time he got to Purple Lightning, he would be affected by the poisons.
4 poison ivy vines wrapped around Kai. As Kai turned his gaze to Autumn, he saw the Mana Weapon in her hands, which normally would have gone unnoticed.
The thorns had turned to ashes before they completely enveloped Kai and poisoned him. Kai had only moved a little and the flames had turned the vines to ash. He ignored Autumn's puzzled look. He cared about the head that would fall when he swung his sword.
But who would have thought that when he swung his sword, someone would have the courage to hold that perfectly strong sword with his bare hands.
Kai saw Monari's beautiful green eyes. Now those eyes shone with contempt. He had forgotten his training and unleashed his arrogance. Kai also felt jealous. This boy's chin was too magnificent to belong to a human.
At that moment, a necklace dangled from Monari's chest. When Kai realised the necklace was a key, he knew it was a moonlight key.
Kai didn't want to watch Monari's dirty grin for too long, so he set his hands on fire. The flames spreading in waves from the Heavenly Elemental Sword wiped the smile from Monari's face, and once again he was reminded of what arrogance had done to him. Pulling his burnt hands back, he cursed himself for his mistake.
Kai felt the wind on his back as he pitied Monari's condition, and he turned his sword and met the claws. Ivan's claws were hard and strong. So strong that he could even withstand Sirius.
Ivan hit Kai's leg with his foot and knocked Kai down on one knee. Then his leg was grabbed by the vines coming out of the ground and Ivan pushed Sirius with all his might, then turned round and kicked Kai in the face.
When Kai's other knee fell to the ground, Autumn caught that knee with her vines and prevented Kai from escaping.
Kai saw Monari as he passed out with a momentary kick. Monari was a Repeller. He was able to block his pain, but he was still angry. He took the key out of his neck and held it towards Kai.
"I'll wipe you out of the World Tournament!!"
"Moonlight Gate!! Open!!!"
"Bright Side of the Moon!!!!"
The Moonlight Switch glowed with black and white light, and a portal opened at the end of the switch.
As the passage transformed, it took on a pure white colour. Monari was able to use Moon energy. Kai also understood that the Light Side of the Moon was an energy.
Kai was about to take his sword and cut the vines when he saw his sword being carried away by another vine. It was then that he looked at the Light Side of the Moon and realised there was only one way to stop it. But Kai knew what would happen in one last step.
"Stop! You don't know what will happen after you do this!"
Kai spoke nervously and the trio thought he was scared. But the truth they didn't know would lead them down a difficult path.
"SHUT UP AND DIE!!!"
Monari shouted one last time to Kai and released the white Light from the Moon Door.
Kai looked angrily at Ivan and Autumn as he stared at the light coming towards him.

"I WARNED YOU!!!"
BOOOM...!!!
At least 3 Legends were expecting to hear that sound, but the Light Side was surrounding Kai and blocking him from view.
When the energy suddenly vanished, so did Kai. There was no Kai behind the energy.
Not even a second had passed before they saw Kai disappear when a hand grabbed Autumn's throat. Autumn's eyes looking at Kai opened in fear.
Scale-like marks began to appear on Kai's white skin and extended from his hands to his arms. There were also a few more scales on his cheeks and neck. His teeth were sharpened and the whites of his eyes were red except for the blue pupils. He had turned into a monster. A Dragon....
"I-I-I warned... you!"
Just as Kai was about to break Autumn's neck, Ivan swung his fist at Kai.
Kai's hand moved at a speed invisible to Ivan's vision and hit Ivan in the face. Ivan was sent 30 metres into the air by the impact of the punch, while Kai stretched his legs and jumped into the air.
Kai struck Ivan once more in mid-air, causing him to vomit blood. Kai raised his fist and brought it together to crush Ivan's head.
As Kai's nutcracker was about to crush Ivan's head, a shield appeared above Ivan.
As Kai struck Ivan's shield, he was sent flying backwards by the electricity radiating through his body. Turning his head slightly, he saw Monari with his hands outstretched towards Ivan. There were traces in his eyes that he had just had difficulty moving. His nose was bleeding.
Kai's wound healed quickly. Even faster than before. After entering the Dragon Form, the healing speed had also increased.
But at that moment, a hand touched Monari's shoulder. Monari had used the Green Lightning ability. Now Autumn was using it.
A wave of power passed from Autumn's body to her hand, and from her hand to Monari.
When Monari felt the sensation that strengthened his body, he first turned his head and looked at Autumn. Then he turned his hands to Ivan, who was once again in the air, and took him into his barrier.
'It's not over.'
Ivan straightened up in the air and looked at Kai. His eyes were all glowing green. And he was looking at Kai with anger. He kicked the air and moved and moved towards Kai.
Kai didn't stop when he saw Ivan coming towards him. He kicked the air and lunged at Ivan. As he clenched his fist and threw it backwards, an unimaginable desire to kill emanated from his body. The desire to kill was so great that Ivan lost all will to fight. Still, he readied his fist and swung at Kai.
As the two fists were heading towards each other, something happened that no one expected. Kai turned his fist with his unconscious state in Dragon Form and avoided Ivan's fist and hit Ivan's face with his fist.
Kai's punch did so much damage to Ivan that Ivan fell to the ground and could not move. Half his face was missing, but Ivan was a Healer. So it wouldn't take long for him to recover.
At that moment, Kai lunged towards Monari. Seeing him coming at him from the air, Monari wasn't worried. He closed his eyes as he opened his hands. Autumn's power transfer was still going on.
Monari opened his eyes when there was not even half a metre between Kai and Monari. His glowing white eyes showed no sign of fear in Kai's mind, but to a normal person, the moon's eyes were terrifying.
Just as Kai was about to strike Monari with his fist, a portal opened in front of him.
Monari was about to take a deep breath when Kai entered the portal. This formation he had made was a blood ability. Her bloodline had been using the eyes of the moon to create formations for years, but because it took so much energy to make them, most people didn't use the blood ability or used it in difficult situations. Monari had created a prison. A place to tear Kai to pieces.
At that moment, the white portal shattered and Kai stepped out. As soon as he came out, the black veins around his eyes and the black veins in his arms slowly disappeared and Kai vomited a mouthful of blood. He shifted into Mind Mode for a second, tearing the formation apart with his consciousness. After all, Kai had infinite knowledge. Even though he was currently unconscious.
Without waiting, Kai accelerated and lunged forward to tear Monari's body in half with his fingernails. He saw those red-purple eyes as Monari's life flashed before his eyes. It was a call of terrifying power.
As Kai's sharp claws were about to touch Monari, a vine, glowing with golden light, grabbed Kai's arm and threw him against the giant rock to their right.
Monari stared in astonishment at the girl with the golden and green glowing hair behind him.
"The Ivy Art of the Golden Flower." said Monari. Autumn was starting to use her art now. This was her last trump card. If Kai got past this, Autumn would have nothing left to do but empower the others.
Kai had smashed the stone to pieces when he had lunged at the rock, but he was back on his feet in a matter of seconds. His bloodlust was growing and there were only three prey to satisfy it.
As the Vines emerged from the ground at an incredible speed, Monari felt Kai slow down for the first time since he had entered Dragon Form. Autumn's Vines were catching up to Kai.
But it still wasn't enough for Kai. The combination of Dragon Form and King Mode was too dangerous. His power had suppressed all 3 of them, but it would be very difficult for Kai to get out of Dragon Form.
"Vines of the Golden Flower!!! 2nd Ivy!!! Skyscraper Thorns!!!"
As Autumn entered the 2nd Level of her Art, a trail of flowers began to appear among the clouds in the sky. Seen from far away, this rose had attracted the attention of many experts in the Sky Lands.
"Die, you damned creature!!!"
At that time, the scales on Kai's body gradually expanded and came to Kai's shoulders, and at the same time, only his back and chest were left without scales on his body.
"Immortal Dragon Form! 50%!!!"
A gleam appeared in Kai's bloodshot eyes as thorns began to rain down from the sky. Kai disappeared from where he was and appeared behind Autumn.
" DIE!!!"
Kai swung his claw.
CRACK!!!
This time Kai's claw was blocked by another claw.
"Earth Art of the Lion King!!! 1st Tooth!! The Lion King's Earth Dance!!!"
Ivan began to move at an incredible speed, his claws tearing Kai to pieces, but Kai was still recovering.
When Ivan finally managed to punch Kai in the stomach, Kai was thrown back 4 metres.
Autumn's hair fluttered with the wind, while her golden and green hair continued to flutter in the air even when the wind was over. Her gaze was locked on Kai and she was sure she wanted to kill him no matter what.
Ivan bared his teeth and growled at Kai. Monari revealed his moonlight eyes. His hands were like the surface of the moon. His gaze was sharp and sure.
"Moonface Art!! Tier 1!!! Gravity Bases!!!"
The scales on Kai's body were once again activated. Kai clenched his fists as they took over every part of his chest and back.
"Immortal Dragon Form! 90%!"
