Night fell and Kai finally managed to wake up. As he slowly got up, he was knocked to the ground again by the pain he felt in his body, but he finally managed to get up and crawl out of his seat and out of sight. He had a smile that could make an entire city fall in love with him.

Meanwhile, the academics and the people could not believe what they saw with their own eyes. Everyone had seen the Legend of Red Lightning and the Legendary Leader of Red Orb Academy fighting in the sky, and the important people could guess what was being said about it.

At that moment, everyone began to wonder how the battle between a legend and a legendary leader would turn out. After all, the battle had gone on for a long time, and the Legend was still undefeated. This caused a wave of curiosity among the people.

At the end of the battle, people were unable to breathe or speak. A Legend had killed the Legendary Leader, and it seemed that the Crimson Orb Academy would have to continue without its Legendary Leader.

But everyone knew that anyone who killed the Legendary Leader would be eliminated from the tournament, and their cities and castles would be destroyed. The city would belong to the academy that destroyed it. Although there were some exceptions, no academy dared to attack Red Orb Fortress. This was because of the power of the current Red Lightning Academy, but also because Kai had killed one of the Legendary Leaders, and there was no reason why he couldn't kill another. If Alan and Kai joined hands, even powerful developmentalists like Ramas could be eliminated from the tournament.

While everyone was shocked, Red Lightning Academy was celebrating. Even though the Red Lightning Academy had produced countless powerful people in this tournament, and even though they had built their city in a place like the King's Garden, which produced kings, this was their only city. Before they could find another city, all the cities had been occupied, and over a hundred thousand people had to live together in one city. This was a big problem in the World Tournament because the cities were 1/30 the size of normal cities.

But after a while, this was forgotten. Now they had another academy to worry about, and since Miguel was in the Purple Lightning, he had a lot of power, so obviously people knew he could be dangerous. Today they learned that there was another great danger, but at least they were free of one.

Miguel was dead.

At that moment, Jace activated the Death Trail again and tried to become one with him, but it was not an easy thing to do and it could have led to great danger. As time passed, Jace's personality cooled and his desire to kill people increased. His behavior was very different now.

The black skull reappeared on Jace's forehead and he took a deep breath. It was hard to understand what he was going through and his expression was very calm. He didn't seem to be in pain anymore.

The black skull reappeared on Jace's forehead and he took a deep breath. It was hard to understand what he was going through and his expression was very calm. He didn't seem to be in pain anymore.

Jace remained in meditation for a while, his connection to the Death Trail growing stronger. He was so focused that he didn't even notice what was happening around him.

At that moment, Lena quietly entered the room and approached Jace. Her eyes were hard and cold. She used to be friendly and rarely got angry. Now that personality had changed as he went through Kaizer's training.

Lena stood in front of Jace. Her gaze became even colder as her hands glowed with a green light. Her beauty frightened many. But like Jace, she had changed with time.

Lena's hands touched both of Jace's cheeks and he shivered for a moment. Then he came to himself, but for a moment he felt very heavy and the Death Mark trembled without him noticing.

In Jace's mind, he was playing chess with a man. The man had black eyes and black hair. He looked exactly like Jace when he was a little more mature, like Jace when he was 20 years old. His hair was down to his neck, and his clothes were black, designed to match his agility. A black veil covered his mouth.

At that moment, the Death Mark glowed on both of their foreheads, revealing their personalities. With every movement, the Death Mark grew stronger, and the black thread between Future Jace and Present Jace thickened.

At that moment, Lena suddenly appeared between them. Before Jace could even move, Lena split the chessboard in two with her fist. Then she threw herself back.

Jace was angry when he saw the board broken, but he didn't let it show on his face. Slowly, both Jace wondered and stood up, but when Lena looked at them, she suddenly realized that the 20-year-old Jace had disappeared. No! She was inside Jace!

"I didn't know your connection to the Death Trail was so strong, you surprised me and put yourself in danger!"

Lena's words went in one ear and out the other. Before Lena could see it with her eyes, Jace had planted his fist in Lena's stomach.

Lena was not a mind thief and should not have been able to get into Jace's mind, but getting into the mind was also important for healing. Lena healed, but she did it from her mind. She had grasped some of the points of Pure Healing and that was why she was able to do this level of healing.

Lena was knocked back by a punch to the stomach. Her eyes widened and she coughed up a handful of blood from the blow. Her face was a little white, but her beauty was intact, and as her blue hair rippled, it rippled through Jace's soul, but for some reason, Jace resisted.

Lena couldn't resist Jace. There was a gulf between Jace and Lena, even though they were both half-step Red Lightning. Jace was a true assassin, while Lena was a healer.

"What are you doing, Jace?!? Why don't you give yourself to me? Come on... Come with me..."

Lena said softly and sweetly. Her sweet, delicate face and deep blue hair blew in the wind. She had a look a man could not resist. What man could resist that? The answer is simple: Jace.

Jace continued to stare coldly. For some reason, Lena shivered at his gaze. Jace lifted his head and looked at the sky. In an instant, the ground they were standing on disappeared and their feet hit the void. Their surroundings were black and stretched into infinity. Suddenly, 10 giant spheres appeared around them. They were like a movie screen, but many times larger. Lena frowned and looked at Jace. Jace raised his hand to the sky and Jace's memories began to play on the sphere next to them. It was exactly 2 years ago! It was a one-week break for the Top 16 of the District 1 Tournament.

"I still love you, Lena. I love you more than you know.

In my heart and my soul, but ...... I'm not sure if you love me anymore."

With Jace's words, Jace appeared in the sphere next to them. Emma was training with Michael. Kevin, Jack, and Melony were with Ariel. Jace was training alone. Lena was training with Aserah.

Lena didn't care that the picture was playing. Instead, Jace's words hit her very hard. Lena's heart ached and she couldn't believe that Jace had actually said those words. She was about to tell Jace that she loved him when he held up his hand to silence her.

"Listen to me first, Lena. "

"2 years ago, everyone was going through their training again and I was meditating and trying to raise my Developmental Base. You were with Aserah and the 16-year-old I missed you again because I hadn't seen you for a long time and was madly in love with you. Something in me thought that Aserah would relax the rules for once and bring me together with you. "

After Jace's speech, the memory played and Jace got up and left the house. His destination was the southwest of the Academy and the Vice Principal's office.

"You loved me like crazy and even after 6 years I hadn't lost any of my feelings for you they had grown exponentially and I would do anything to protect you, I thought you felt the same way."

The orb moved and Jace entered Aserah and Lena's training grounds, but the moment he did, he froze. His heart tightened and at that moment he forgot everything.

"That was until I saw you kissing the person who was supposed to be your master.... "

" Aserah looked very old, but he had a secret that no one knew. He was only 28 years old. At the age of 28, he broke history once again by stepping on the 2nd level. And who knows how strong he is now? But how can I bear his hands on your waist? How can I stand your hands on his neck? How can I stand your chest hitting his chest? Tell me, Lena! How can I bear to see the woman I love deceive me..."

Lena was frozen. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't. She wanted to tell, but she couldn't. She wanted to say it was a lie, but she didn't have the face to say it. She was young that day and had made the stupid mistake of letting Aserah kiss her.

"You didn't want to save me, Lena. You regret it... You regret choosing me and you don't want to regret it, so you want to fix me!!!"

Before Lena could say anything, Jace disappeared from where he was and appeared in front of Lena. As soon as he took Lena's hands, the cold, terrifying aura of his body entered her body.

Jace stared at Lena, but then a tear fell from his eye and landed on Lena's face. When Lena looked up, she realized that tears were falling from that stern expression. But what hurt her most was the look on Jace's face. .... Regret

"Did you know?"

"I just didn't want to believe it. Do you know how much I loved you? I loved you so much that my consciousness obeyed me and under its pressure my memories disappeared and I experienced a massive power drop. I couldn't use half of my potential!!! For what?!! For a woman who betrayed me!!! The Death Trace opened my mind and my memories became accessible again! Now go, Lena! You don't deserve to be in my mind! I won't let you inflict another wound on my heart!"
