Raiya's blow was nothing short of spectacular, sending Zenos soaring through the air and colliding with a few more trees. Though he was only a Half-Step, Raiya's power was nothing short of extraordinary. His training with Ul was nothing short of incredible, as he let all his bones crumble without a care in the world. Thanks to this rigorous training, his master gave him the green light to become a guardian, and Raiya became the Guardian of the Body Path.

Raiya's punch was a thing to behold, inflicting damage like nothing else could. Yet, astonishingly, he healed in the blink of an eye.Then, as if guided by a higher power, a bolt of lightning erupted from Zenos's eyes, reaching his pupils. The red lightning was mesmerizing, but it was the purple lightning at the base that truly took your breath away. It was longer than Alan's lightning, a testament to Zenos's immense power.In a flash, Zenos vanished, only to reappear before Zaheer. Zaheer was also very strong, but he was slower than the other two.But before Zenos could touch Zaheer, Alan's kick hit Zenos in the back and Raiya's punch hit him in the face from the other direction.Zenos did a somersault, and Zaheer once again clapped his hands together."Purple Sunflower Art!! 1st Leaf!! Sunflower Light!!"

Zaheer's attack hit Zenos, but—surprisingly—Zenos had grabbed Zaheer's collar the moment he received the attack, pulling him along.Zaheer and Zenos flew through the air, Zenos's head tilted backwards.Eating the Purple Sunflower attack so close had done him great damage, but he was still standing. If there wasn't such a big difference between him and Zaheer, he would have died from the impact.

Zaheer couldn't contain his excitement, and a smile spread across his face as he waved his hand.

"Multiple Saint Duplicates!!!" he exclaimed.

In an astonishing display, twenty Zaheers materialized simultaneously, each beaming with a smile. Without hesitation, four of them grasped Zenos, lifting him up in the air.

The scene unfolded in a breathtaking aerial spectacle.

At that precise moment, two of the Zaheers were seized and propelled into the air. Reaching their zenith, one of them launched the other at Zenos in mid-air. Zaheer landed on Zenos like a bomb, and the impact of this attack would be significant, but at that instant, Zenos opened his eyes.

CRACKTTT!!!!

"Sky Shaking Immortal Sword Art!!! 2nd Sword!!!"

With a swift and agile movement, Zenos pulled himself up and started throwing swords, effortlessly dodging the clone in the air that was coming towards him.

"Is that all you can do?!"

Zenos's attack speed was nothing short of incredible, and within a split second, all of Zaheer's clones were destroyed, and a sword had entered Zaheer's shoulder.As Zaheer clutched his shoulder in pain, he saw another sword coming towards him, and his eyes widened in surprise."

CRACK!!!

At that very moment, Alan's sword once again moved with incredible speed, cutting the sword coming towards Zaheer. But it wasn't enough because Zenos was already in front of Alan.At that moment, Raiya approached at an invisible speed and swung his fist at Zenos's cheek. This trick could only work once. Seeing the punch, Zenos slipped as if he had lost his footing and somersaulted through the air, delivering a hard kick to Alan's jaw.

Zenos was fast. Sometimes Alan couldn't even see him with his Jade Eye. Even if the difference in developmental stage between them was not that great, Zenos was a genius like them and was prone to the unthinkable.

Alan flew backwards, only to be caught by Zaheer. Raiya drew his red sword from his waist, a move that surprised everyone.

"Ignis!!!"

Raiya's attack with Ignis was like a bolt of lightning, striking with incredible speed and leaving a small wound on Zenos's arm. But that was just the start! Raiya's relentless energy escalated as he attacked again, faster and faster, opening up a storm of wounds. With each attack, he grew stronger, each one more powerful than the last. Zenos's blood stayed on Raiya's sword, and even he was unable to attack.

"Enough!!!" Zenos suddenly shouted, and a burst of energy surrounded him. Raiya flew backwards, but it didn't make much difference; the blood on Raiya's sword still gave him strength.

At that moment, Zenos realized that a different power had awakened in his body, and a thin smirk appeared on his face.

"Potential Awakening!!!"

Zenos's words caused great stress for the trio, but they were not entirely surprised. After all, the people he had killed couldn't have been the only reason why he had become so powerful.Raiya, Alan, and Zaheer stood side by side, staring at Zenos with sharp eyes, but Zenos was strong and he would certainly not be easy to defeat.

As Zenos lunged forward, Raiya suddenly jumped forward and attacked Zenos.But Zenos had gotten stronger after Awakening his Potential, and their fists were about to collide when suddenly Zenos ducked and dodged the punch and tried to hit Raiya in the face with his other fist.

"The Art of Mystic Illusion!!! Layer 1!!!"

Ul bestowed Raiya with this incredible art, and it was a perfect match for her. Zenos's powerful fist was on its way to Raiya, but instead, it passed through a cloud of dust, and as the dust cleared, Zenos caught sight of Raiya's sword, Ignis, coming straight at him.The two swords clashed, creating a resounding echo that reverberated throughout the area.At that precise moment, Alan appeared from behind Zenos.

"Green Lightning Art 1st Lightning!!! Sky Explosion!!!"Zenos spun around, his lip bitten as the Green Lightning from the sword advanced towards him.

"Blood Arc of Destruction!!!"

BOOM!!!!

There was an explosion, but no one was left out of it.

"Purple Sunflower Art!!! 2nd Leaf!!! Sharp Sunflower Blade!!!"

Suddenly the smoke from the explosion dissipated, and Zenos was thrown back 30 meters and grabbed his knees. He was really tired, no matter how strong he was.

"You... you really pissed me off!!"Zenos suddenly brought his arm close to his mouth. He had a furious and frantic expression on his face.

"Full Blood Destruction Art!!"

"1st Dimension!!!! Open!!!"

With only a few centimeters between him and Zenos's arm, the sound of a sword echoed throughout the area.In an instant, all the trees were split in two at a certain point, and an incredible aura was coming from about 100 meters away in the forest.Before Zenos could bite his arm, another attack struck Zenos in the back and cut him deeply.

"Now!"

Hearing Boyd's voice, the other youths rushed forward, and Zaheer and Raiya suddenly ripped off Zenos's arms without giving him a chance, while Alan swung his sword around hard and blew Zenos's head off.The fight was over in a very sudden and unbelievable way, with the felled trees falling on each other, and finally Boyd himself appeared. He was wearing what was supposed to be a large robe, but it was torn down to his knees. His arm was bandaged, but the writing on it was visible, though hard to decipher.Despite the risks, Boyd's actions were thrilling, and he collapsed, exhausted.

Raiya, however, intervened with a strong grasp on his shoulder, propelling him forward and allowing him to join the group.The four of them, united in their strength and determination, were indeed a formidable force. If it weren't for Alan, the outcome might have been different. This shared concern brought them closer together.

"I hope the Legendary Leader is with you, Kai."
