There were a few people gathered at the east gate of Red Sphere Academy. No one could notice these people, so secretly hidden in the night.

"Miguel, are you sure you want to go alone? During this time, the castle will be weak and we won't be able to withstand a legendary leader in a sudden attack."

Miguel looked sharply at the blonde-haired young man who spoke in a worried manner, then turned and started walking.

"It won't take long..."

With that last word, Miguel jumped into a tree and disappeared.

Kai was in another place at that time. He sat meditating on a stone in the middle of a river that flowed past a waterfall. The river was 2 kilometers wide and the largest river in the Sky Lands. After a while, it flowed into the highest waterfall on Heaven Island. This river and waterfall took the name of the island and became known as Sky River and Sky Falls.

Kai was meditating, and the aura emanating from his body was even stronger than before. He was now at the beginning of the Red Lightning, and the 6 Yellow Lightning in his eyes had all reached the center of the Peak of the Yellow Lightning. By the time they all reached the top of the peak, Kai would have reached Purple Lightning.

Kai's rate of development was incredible. In just a few days of meditation, he was able to break through the Red Lightning. It was not for nothing that he was called a true genius.

On his back was the Heavenly Elemental Sword. The deep black sword shone with the rays of the sun.

Kai did not open his eyes and continued to draw energy. The speed at which he was drawing energy was not that fast. He couldn't evolve as fast as Kevin or anyone else. At the same time, the growth base was consuming a lot more energy than it should. Normally, his growth base should have been even lower than Emma's.

But Kai was lucky! No human could have been as lucky as he was. At the same time, Kai had strengthened himself to face great challenges. Thanks to his emotions, he was able to grow stronger and stronger all the time. His emotions had been his closest friend and companion along the way.

The main reason why Kai could get stronger so easily in the middle of the river was Sirius, Kai's sword. Sirius was no longer the sword it once was. It was a sword with 4 abilities not even seen in legends. Thanks to Sirius' ability to draw energy, the energy around Kai increased day by day, indicating that the longer Kai stayed in meditation, the faster he would become stronger.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps slowly began to sound. From the river. Coming from 1 kilometer away, these footsteps did not escape Kai's ears. Before, he had mastered the Immortal Dragon Form, and now he had changed to the True Dragon Form, the 2nd form of the Immortal Dragon. His senses allowed him to hear everything within 20 kilometers, let alone 2 kilometers.

His footsteps stopped where the river began, a kilometer away from Kai. Miguel stared at Kai with hard eyes, causing the water to ripple with his fierce aura.

When Kai realized that Miguel was coming, he slowly opened his eyes and 6 yellow thunderbolts appeared in his eyes. He slowly stood up turned Miguel around and linked arms with him. He was on the stone and didn't seem to be going anywhere.

"So this is how you want to play."

Miguel gritted his teeth and took a step towards the water. But contrary to expectations, he didn't sink. He walked on the water and nothing happened. No sign of sinking, no wetting. Miguel began to walk on water.

Kai blinked and looked at Miguel. He was surprised that Miguel was walking on water, but he couldn't underestimate Miguel. Miguel had merged with the Mana Weapon and the bond between them should not be weak.

But as Miguel walked, Kai could see the difference in his feet. The shoes on his feet were green, unlike normal shoes, and they looked beautiful. But Kai knew very well that this was not a fashionable combination.

The water rippled more and more as Miguel took a step and Miguel's desire for revenge grew.

Miguel was a young man with green hair, not very tall, about 20 years old. As he started to run towards Kai, Kai put his hand behind his back and grabbed his sword. There was a small ripple in the water as he stretched his legs.

Miguel ran forward and didn't care about the ripples in the water. He was getting stronger. He was getting faster with each step he took.

When Kai saw Miguel coming, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and crossed his legs in a spider stance. Kai's eye, glowing with 6 yellow lightning bolts, appeared between him and Miguel, and Kai drew his sword and made a perfect horizontal slash.

"Heavenly Wind Slash Covered by the Seas!!!"

As Kai's slash moved across the water, the waves covered the air around the slash, adding the fluid power of the water to the wind slash. In the same way, the waves followed the slash, moving toward Miguel.

Miguel narrowed his eyes at the attack. With every step he took, his speed increased tenfold. When Kai saw this scene, he couldn't stop cursing because a crack had formed in the center of the Wind Slash, covered with seas.

"Gotcha!"

Suddenly, Kai looked up and saw a pair of soles coming towards his face. There were only seconds between them and there seemed to be no way for Kai to catch up.

In that split second, Kai's six lightning bolts flashed with incredible speed and Kai threw himself backwards into the water. Miguel was in the purple flash. Kai still wasn't crazy enough to risk himself. At least he no longer had a master.

Miguel looked around, ready for a sudden attack, but not willing to wait. Suddenly, he stepped hard on a rock in the middle of the river and rose about 100 meters above the ground.

"Earth-shaking Titan wave!!!"

Suddenly, Miguel clapped his hands together and ran toward the water. As he moved toward the water, his feet began to emit an aura as if they were about to tear the earth apart.

PAAATTTT!!!!!

As soon as Miguel's right foot hit the river, a huge crack opened up in the middle of the river, and the river split in two.

But before Miguel could take advantage of the opportunity, Kai suddenly shot out of the water like a meteor and punched Miguel in the face. Miguel, ignoring the punch to the face, pulled Kai's arm and pulled him under.

As soon as Kai fell under Miguel, Miguel put his foot on Kai and started to choke Kai with both feet.

At that moment, Kai threw his sword into the parted sea and smiled. Of course, his actions did not go unnoticed by Miguel.

FROOSSSSSS!!!!

The columns of water began to attack Miguel with their consciousness as the layer of water shot into the air from all sides. Miguel dodged all the attacks or let the water hit him a little. As long as the water didn't hit his body directly, he was fine.

Just then, inside one of the pillars, the Heavenly Elemental Sword cut Miguel's arm. Then it went back into the sea.

Miguel was still trying to drown Kai, but Kai hadn't drowned yet. He still breathed enough to smile.

But at that moment, Miguel felt something on his back and he somersaulted, dodging the energy arrow that came at him. Miguel was a Seer.

At that moment, Miguel felt a numb sensation in his arm and realized that he was unable to use it. By some strange coincidence(!) it was the arm that Sirius had cut off.

Kai smiled. Suddenly Kai's eyes lit up and a Heavenly Elemental Sword shot out of the river and into Kai's hand. Kai couldn't pull Miguel's legs with his physical strength or anything like that, but Kai had many ways to do it. As the sky closed in, the answer seemed near.

A small spark appeared on the surface of Sirius as Miguel looked up at the sky.

Black lightning from the sky.

CRAAATTT!!

From the sky, the Black Thunderbolts descended to earth, their direct target being their master. Seeing this, Miguel gritted his teeth and let Kai go, but not before giving him a swift kick.

But he was too late. The kick to the face had sent Kai flying backward, but suddenly his speed was incredible and he swung the Black Thunderbolts at Miguel as he swung his sword.

Miguel was fast, but he didn't realize how fast Kai had suddenly become. Miguel's face contorted in fear as flames suddenly appeared at the tip of the sword covered in black lightning and Miguel threw himself backwards at full speed.

"Black Lightning of Heaven covered in hell flames!!!"

Kai's attack tore Miguel's cloak in half and grazed Miguel's body, sending him crashing into the water.

Miguel breathed heavily after dodging the attack at the last moment. If he hadn't been in the Purple Lightning and if his abilities weren't mainly based on speed, it would have been impossible for him to get out of here alive. He had underestimated Kai and had not used his full strength, but he was curious about Kai's power source.

As Miguel lay on the water, a human figure emerged from the mist above the river. Kai looked very different as he walked with his jet-black sword in his hand. His hair had become lighter and whiter. His eyes had changed and his pupils were purple. His skin was as white as his hair and his lips were red in a way that reflected neither. Two horns protruded from the top of his head, the red color of the horns and the lines in the ancient language on them adding to the aura of the horns. On each horn was the mark of a dragon. Miguel was shocked by Kai's new appearance. It was as if he was facing a monster. His eyes denied that he was human and the smile on Kai's face proved it.

"You are lucky to be the first to see this power. Behold the Final King Mode!!!"
