551: Detonation
Without hesitation, Kai made his move.He didn’t swing his halberd and he didn’t step forward or even change his posture in any obvious way. To anyone watching, it looked like he had barely done anything at all. But inside that stillness, his control was already moving, precise and sharp, reaching back to something he had set up earlier in the fight.The energy.The one he had planted inside the man with the axe when his halberd struck before.He triggered it.At first, nothing seemed to happen.The axe was still coming and the strike was still deadly.The man’s face still carried that same confidence and that same belief that Kai had made a mistake by turning away from him.But then, it hit, it was not outside but inside.The man’s body froze mid-motion, like something had grabbed him from within and crushed him. His eyes widened instantly, the confidence in them shattering in one breath as he felt the energy explode through his insides.It wasn’t loud but it was violent.The force t
552: Their Shock
Before the man with the hammer could even process what had just happened to his weapon, the blade Qi that Kai had redirected was already upon him.He didn’t have time to reposition, to even defend properly and didn’t even have time to curse.The attack hit him squarely in the chest.The impact was clean and deep, the sharp Qi slicing through his defenses like they weren’t even there. His body jerked violently from the strike, and a burst of blood followed immediately as the cut opened across his chest.His breath hitched and pain followed.Judging from his expression it was a real pain and not the kind he could ignore and before he could even react, Kai was already there with no delay or pause.Kai closed the distance instantly, his speed far beyond what it had been earlier. The halberd came down in a sharp motion as he executed the first technique, the force behind it precise and controlled, targeting the exact point where the man had just been injured.The strike landed hard.The al
553: Right On Time
Abigail and Emily were already at their limit.From the moment the fight started, they hadn’t tried to overpower him. That would’ve been stupid. Instead, they moved, dodged, provoked, and kept dragging him around like he was some angry dog chasing shadows. It worked for a while. He got irritated, lost rhythm, and that gave them space to survive.But that kind of fighting always came with a price.Qi.Every step, every dodge, every sudden burst of speed chipped away at it, and now… they were empty. Not completely drained, but close enough that it showed. Their breathing was heavier, their reactions just a bit slower, and their bodies weren’t moving as cleanly as before.And the man chasing them noticed, well of course he did.He suddenly stopped right in front of them, cutting off their path like a wall they couldn’t go around. His face was no longer calm. It was twisted, annoyed, like he had been holding back his anger for too long.He let out a sharp breath through his nose.“You two
554: Be Ready
Their fists met, it was not softly or carefully.It collided head-on.The moment Kai’s fist crashed into the man’s palm, the difference showed immediately. Kai had already seen the flaw in the strike, the lack of balance, the messy flow of Qi, and he took full advantage of it. The impact didn’t just stop the attack, it broke through it.A sharp crack followed.The man’s hand twisted unnaturally as the bones in it gave way under the force. His palm shattered, the structure of the strike collapsing instantly. The Qi he had poured into that attack scattered on contact, breaking apart like something fragile.For a split second, both of their energies cancelled each other out.Silence decend and then, Kai moved again.He didn’t pull back and he didn’t reset.He stepped in and punched using his technique The first punch landed on the man’s chest like it wasn’t anything special, technique and no extra force.It seemed like it was just a normal punch.The man reacted immediately, raising his
555: Cut Them Off
Kai reached Trouble just as the fight was about to tilt the wrong way.The massive beast had already forced Trouble back twice, its size and strength finally starting to show clearly. Each swing of its claws carried weight, each movement more controlled than before, and even its breathing had stabilized like it had figured out Trouble’s rhythm.Trouble, on the other hand, was still fighting, but it wasn’t clean anymore. Its movements had become rough, its body marked with cuts and bruises, and even though it kept jumping back in and its body healing, it was clear it was reaching its limit.Kai didn’t wait.The moment he stepped in, his halberd was already out.He didn’t go for anything fancy.There was no buildup and no warning.He struck.The first hit landed across the beast’s side, the blade cutting through its scales just enough to leave a long mark. The beast reacted instantly, turning toward him with a low roar, its focus shifting from Trouble to this new threat.Good.That was
556: Cut Off the Escape
Seeing Kai suddenly change direction instead of coming straight at them, the two men froze for a split second.“What is he doing?” the hammer user muttered, his brows tightening.The axe wielder didn’t answer. He didn’t understand it either. From their angle, Kai’s movement didn’t make sense. Instead of chasing directly, he shifted sideways, cutting across the land at an angle that looked… wrong.But they didn’t have time to think about it.They were already in a rush, the portal was close, it was too close to hesitate or think about what that mad man was doing. So even though something felt off, they kept moving, pushing their speed higher, focusing only on reaching the portal before Kai could catch up.Unlike them, Kai didn’t need to focus.He already saw everything.Every step they would take.Every direction they would move.And every little adjustment in their path.To him, the battlefield wasn’t confusing. It was clear. So instead of chasing their backs, he cut ahead, taking th
557: Pressure and Regret
Without hesitation, Kai dashed forward.His body moved like a streak, fast enough to close the gap in seconds, but just as he pushed his speed higher, something hit him suddenly. A sharp pain pierced through his eyes, not heavy, but deep enough to make him slow for a fraction of a second.His brows tightened.“Damn…”The golden glow in his eyes flickered slightly.He was reaching his limit.That vision, that clarity that let him see everything at once, it wasn’t something he could hold forever, and now it was starting to strain him. The longer he used it, the more it pushed back, and if he lost it at the wrong time, he would lose his advantage.And right now, he couldn’t afford that.So he didn’t slow down, if anything, he pushed harder.He needed to finish this fast.Meanwhile, the last man had already moved.He closed in on Emily quickly, his expression dark, his breathing uneven but filled with intent. The moment he got close enough, Abigail didn’t hesitate and dashed towards Emily
558: When She Appears
Kai stood there, breathing hard, his chest rising and falling unevenly as he stared at the man outside the barrier. The attack had missed, the moment had passed, but that didn’t mean the danger was gone. The man was still there, still alive, still walking toward them with that same stubborn intent like he refused to give up even after everything that had happened.Kai’s grip tightened slightly and then his gaze shifted.Trouble.The little beast was dragging itself slowly across the ground, its movements weak, its body clearly at its limit. It didn’t rush and didn’t roar, it didn’t even try to act strong. Instead, it moved quietly, carefully, like it understood that drawing attention right now would be the worst thing it could do.And somehow, that made it worse.Kai exhaled slowly, watching it.“stubborn thing.”Even in that state, it was still trying to get back and still trying to survive.He could tell the other beast was already gone. Trouble had finished it, probably by forcing
559: Waking Up to Chaos
(A Week Later)Kai slowly opened his eyes, but the moment he did, he immediately wished he hadn’t. His entire body felt… wrong, not exactly painful, but heavy and stiff like someone had taken him apart piece by piece, then put him back together without checking if things still worked properly. Even blinking felt like effort, and when he tried to move his fingers, they responded a second later like they were debating whether they should even listen to him.“What kind of nonsense is this…” he muttered weakly, his voice dry as he stared at the ceiling.He tried to sit up, slowly pushing his body forward, but the moment he did, his arms trembled badly and his back tightened in protest. It felt like his body had gone on strike while he was unconscious and was now punishing him for waking it up. He paused halfway, breathing out slowly as he leaned against the bed.“Did I fight a war or get buried alive…” he added under his breath, clearly not impressed with his current condition.Then he h
560: No Rest for the Living
Hearing that, Kai paused mid-step but he didn’t move immediately.He just stood there, staring at them like he was waiting for one of them to laugh and say it was a joke.“What do you mean by trouble?” he asked slowly.Emily didn’t answer and Abigail didn’t explain either.Instead, she simply tilted her head toward the door.“Go see for yourself.”Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly not liking that answer, but he still turned and walked out of the house. His steps weren’t rushed, more like someone who was already tired of whatever nonsense was waiting for him outside.Then he stepped out of the house and saw it.Beasts.A lot of them.Not one or even ten but a whole horde.They surrounded the clearing like a dark wave, their bodies packed together, growling, pacing, snapping at the invisible wall like they were waiting for a chance to break through and their eyes glowing with hunger and aggression.The sound alone was enough to irritate him.Growls, snarls and heavy breathing.Lik
