The months flew by. Kai and Randal spent every day together having fun and training. Kai was already very strong. Randal was putting him through special training so he could use his Sword Skills on Purple Lightning. No matter how hard they worked on the Black Lightning, Kai was still only at the 1st Lightning level. However, that didn't bother him. Because the power of the first lightning alone was much stronger than normal lightning.
Apart from that, Randal was also giving Kai sword training. Kai's sword Will was very special and strengthened his sword skills a lot. Of course, as Kai's master, Randal couldn't leave him without making him stronger. He would take him to the top just like his Master had done to him.
As for the King of Kings' ability, Kai again showed improvement, but it was less than the others. Kai had not yet become King, and the King of Kings skill was a very difficult skill to practice, even for the King of Kings. Kai didn't know how Randal knew that either, but he didn't question it. Although this old man was indeed very similar to him, he was certainly much more mysterious than he was.
In Ultimate Heart Mode, Kai and Randal were just getting started after all these months. Randal told Kai about it, but Kai didn't understand a thing.
Inside the cave, Randal had a sly smile on his face. He was approaching Kai step by step with a needle in his hand. When Kai saw Randal's smile, he started to retreat in fear.
"W-what's that!?!?"
Randal's smile grew even wider.
"We will now begin training the Ultimate Heart Mode..."
Two red horns grew out of Randal's head.
"Do you think these horns came out of thin air?"
Randal suddenly accelerated grabbed Kai's arm and stuck the needle in.
"Good for you.... "
Kai took a few steps back in fear and Randal took a few steps back with a smile on his face.
A few seconds later Kai collapsed in pain. He could feel his bones shattering, all his organs rebuilding. His cells were being torn apart and rebuilt in his head. And they were turning into something sharp. His heart had a strange feeling and strangely, the sharp horns on his head began to energize.
The pain continued for a few more minutes.
Kai's pain increased exponentially every second and his curses filled the cave. He swore at Randal, but Randal was 600 million years old. How could such simple curses make him angry?
At the end of 1 hour, two sharp horns appeared on Kai's head. The horns gradually grew and reached a length of nearly 40 cm. Kai took a deep breath as he finally got up from the ground. As he raised his gaze, the 6 lightning bolts were visibly glowing and his eyes were red. The only difference from before was the huge horns.
"Ultimate Heart Mode..."
Kai exhaled a breath and a blast of cold air escaped from his mouth and disappeared into the air. Old Randal was watching this scene as if he had witnessed a miracle. But he was the one who found this Mode. So it was again because of his personality that he looked like that.
Kai looked at his hand. When he clenched his fist, crunching sounds came from his bones.
"I can feel the power flowing through my body... Ultimate Heart Mode..... With this mode....... I can finally kill you!!!"
Kai instantly jumped up and started chasing Randal. Randal was running away laughing. As Kai threw his sword at Randal, Randal jumped over the sword with a jump not expected from his old body. And he kept running.
"Hahahaha!!! Kai, Ultimate Heart Mode may be a Legend, but it doesn't increase your physical strength. It only gives you the power of an Immortal."
Kai swore again when he heard Randal. He had a long way to go to catch this old man.
Kai stood in place picked up a mirror and began to examine his horns. The black horns looked very different from Randal's horns.
"Why are your horns different from mine?"
"Because my horns are Evolved. Your horns will most likely evolve into the Immortal Dragon Form. Until then, I will also make you fit for Evolution."
Kai muttered.
"That's the only thing I haven't done."
Randal then slapped Kai's arse and picked him up and took him to training.
"MASTAAR!!!! "

Red Lightning City
In one of the flower gardens of the city, some young people were talking among themselves.
"Where is Kronos? Don't tell me he's in the Holy King's Garden again!" said Milah. Fury shook his head forward and sighed deeply.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
"I still don't know what he found there. It's probably the most important place in the Skylands, but it's very difficult to use. I still don't understand what she's trying to do." said Fury.
"What do you care if he does what he wants? Let him find something. The King's Garden is where most Kings died in the Sky War. Do you think it's possible there aren't valuables there? If he can find something, he can increase his development tremendously. "said Emma.
Since arriving in the city of Red Lightning, the geniuses of the first 32 had become much closer. They all knew each other and liked each other as friends. When John and Summer arrived in the city, they were shocked to learn that he had become a senior. Then John had also become a Senior and Orion and Reina had become Emperors, but no one had seen them fight, and they were both bleeding after their fights. Former Emperors were also healed and made senior.
The biggest shock was that Alvar became a Legend. It was a fact that Alvar could remain an Emperor. When the Legends died, the academy's right to change Legends was limited to only 6 people. But Alvar was arrogant and became a Legend by challenging a Legend. It hadn't been long since he had moved to the Red Lightning.
Still, the old Legend was also on the city council.
Quentin, on the other hand, was constantly forced to go on missions and had no time to challenge anyone. He was the one person most expected to benefit from the King's Garden, but he didn't have time for that.
Sarah had only been on one of the expeditions once, but she hadn't benefited from it either. Now Zaheer was giving Sarah the things he had found from the expeditions that were of no use to him. He was also preparing her body for the Purple Sunflower Art.
"And where are Zachery and Toma?" said Raiya. The others laughed. Boyd was looking with his hand at the two walking hand in hand ahead.
Toma and Zachery had become lovers over time without realizing how it happened. They realized that they were lovers when the others told them.
Zachery still did not have a Mana Weapon, but his Development base had increased a lot with the time he spent with Toma. He was at the peak of the beginning of the Orange Lightning.
Toma, on the other hand, was falling behind as time passed. He was an incredible genius as a half-step Orange Lightning, but he was still lagging behind the others.
At that moment, Isaac walked tiredly towards the others. Next to him was the little tiger.
As the duo fell in front of the others like dead men, the Little Tiger's imitation of the cowardly boy made the others laugh. They didn't know when the two had met each other, but Little Tiger always spent time with him when Kai was away.
As Little Tiger came over to Emma, Emma took Little Tiger in her arms and began to stroke his head. Little Tiger purred that he liked it and fell asleep in Emma's lap.
Isaac also sat on a stone as he got up from the floor.
"Isaac, when did you and Little Tiger meet?" said Milah.
Isaac lifted his head upwards, looking as if he was going down memory lane.
***
A young man with black short hair was running through the forest. He was moving steadily as if someone was following him.
PAAAATTT!!!
With a crash, Isaac hit something fluffy.
Isaac looked up at the little tiger cub that had hit him. At first, he didn't understand what a Tiger was doing there, but he soon recognized the Tiger. His eyes widened with excitement and he immediately began to look around.
"If the little tiger is here, Kai must be here too, right?"
Isaac looked around a little more, but he could not see Kai. He could hear the rustling of trees behind him. He looked at the Little Tiger in fear.
"Where's Kai, Tiger?!? Come on, don't tell me he's not with you!"
Little Tiger looked around at Cowardly Boy's words, but when he couldn't see Kai, he couldn't stop his eyes from filling with tears. He turned around but still couldn't see Kai. Seeing his tearful eyes, Isaac immediately picked him up and started to run.
While the little Tiger was crying in Isaac's lap, Isaac was looking at the man who was getting closer and closer to him. He could not defeat this man at the peak of the green lightning.
Suddenly the man lunged forward and hit Isaac with his shoulder.
As Isaac lost his balance and flew into the air, the little Tiger wanted to hug him so he wouldn't get hurt. But when he realized the Tiger was long gone, he cursed his luck.
At that moment the man came in front of the fallen Isaac and put his knife to Isaac's neck.
"You gave me a hard time. The chase so far has exhausted me." said the man. Isaac took a look at the knife resting on his neck with his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Tell me about it."
Just as the man was about to push his knife, a wave of wind hit the man and blew him into the air with the knife.
The Winged Tiger Cub let out a small roar as it flew through the air and ripped the man's head off with its small claws.
As the blood from the man flew toward the Little Tiger's face, the Little Tiger tumbled through the air and fell to the ground due to the disgusting taste of the blood it had swallowed.
Isaac quickly went to the little tiger and cleaned its mouth. Then he looked at the man's head and the man's body with astonishment. When he finally turned his head to the little tiger, he saw that the little tiger was looking sad again.
Isaac sighed deeply again and took the Little Tiger and continued his way through the forest.
***
Isaac sighed as he remembered this and waved his hand as if to say screw it. After that, neither the others asked anything, nor Isaac said anything.
Toma and Zachery had reached the King's Garden. With their conversations among themselves, they finally walked to the King's Garden.
At that time Zachery and Toma saw Kronos meditating ahead. Sometimes butterflies would come and land on Kronos. The animals found peace with Kronos and would not let anyone come near him.
Toma and Zachery did not intend to disturb Kronos anyway. Both of them went to a part of the garden and sat opposite each other and began to meditate.
When Toma realized that her body had left the earth, she put her consciousness under the earth and tried to feel it.
Six days passed in this way and Toma still hadn't found anything. She decided to quit soon and was trying her last chance.
TAKKKKK!!
Toma finally felt that she had hit something and was excited. She immediately looked at what she had bumped into and saw a woman looking at her.
"W-who are you?"
The woman first closed her eyes and focused. Then, when she realized that she had found what she was looking for, she immediately opened her eyes and appeared in front of Toma.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but you are my salvation!"
The woman suddenly touched Toma's forehead and disappeared. White lights started to emerge from Toma's forehead. Toma looked around anxiously, but she couldn't even think that she had to get out of meditation out of fear.
CRACK!!!
CRACK!!!
CRACK!!!
CRACK!!!
Toma didn't realize what was happening as one level after another jumped. Finally, it occurred to her to come out of meditation and she did so.
As soon as Toma came out of meditation, she fell backward with the light coming out of her forehead. Zachery was standing looking at her, trying to understand what had happened.
At that time, a yellow spear started to glow in one of the houses. As the Light of the yellow spear and Toma's Light illuminated the whole city, all the Titled in the City gathered.
Suddenly the spear flew out at incredible speed, breaking the glass and travelling towards the King's Garden.
As Toma stood up, the light now enveloped his whole body. A large crowd of people had gathered behind Zachery.
John was the first to arrive on the field at that time. Unlike the others, he was the closest to the King's Garden.
Speechless at what he saw, John did not know what to say. When Zachery saw John coming close to him, he immediately grabbed John's arms and shook him hard.
"What's happening to her, John?!?"
John was still looking at the Toma rising with yellow-white lights.
"I'm not sure."
At that moment, a large yellow spear entered the King's Garden and came in front of Toma. Toma's mouth was agape as she looked at the glowing and trembling spear. Then she looked at her hands and laughed excitedly.
When Toma held her spear with both hands, the lights of the two began to merge. The spear's yellow light hit Toma's eyes and made them glow with yellow light.
Toma's white Light touched the spear and gradually changed it.
Toma's white Light touched the spear and gradually changed her Spear.
After Toma's spear was changed, Toma took a deep breath and slowly descended to the ground. The white lights disappeared at the same time as she landed on the ground.
When Toma landed on the ground, the lights in her eyes also disappeared and her red hair fell back on her shoulders. An excited smile appeared on her face.
"I have become the Lady of the Spear."
***
6 days ago
Toma sat down on the floor and began to meditate. In the same way, Zachery was about to sit down on the ground when something pricked his thigh and he jumped in place. As he rubbed his thigh with his hand, he got up and looked at the thing sticking into his thigh in the grass.
It was a small stone. Or it was a piece of a stone. For some reason, as Zachery looked at the stone, he felt the urge to dislodge it. He dug into the soil with his hand and pulled out that strange stone.
As Zachery picked it up, not letting anyone see it, he knew that it was no coincidence that such a stone had appeared in the King's Garden.
As he pocketed the stone, he began to draw energy to move into the Centre of the Orange Lightning.
But how could he have known that the stone he had just pocketed was one of the most powerful Mana weapons in all Universes?
