Chapter 557: Arrive

The tiger obviously didn't stand there just to see himself getting killed.

In the instant Kai used his power, the tiger leaped to the side while covering his paw with magic particles, forming an extension of its claws.

It then waved it to Kai's swords, albeit getting cut down in an instant.

Even so, the claws were made of magic particles, so Kai's Supersonic Boundary gave a certain amount of shock wave because of the collision between magic particles, allowing the tiger to get to safety.

"Ho?" Kai widened his eyes in surprise and began chasing him.

The tiger started feeling threatened by Kai's skill and thought of this battle in another way.

The tiger stepped up his game by covering all his paws with magic particles, making them glow. The blue light reinforced the foot and made a small crack on the ground for every step the tiger took.

"That's quite a powerful force you have there." Kai squinted his eyes, analyzing the tiger's power. He had his Sound Blast activated all the time, yet, the magic itself didn't crack the ground like the tiger did.

"Arba, do you know anything about it?" Kai asked out loud.

Arba took a glance at the white tiger and replied, "Yes. But I don't think my king needs something like that. You can certainly use it as long as you increase the power output of your magic."

"But it won't be that effective, right? I mean, it's not efficient because I will end up wasting my magic."

"Yes. If you have the crown, that problem won't exist."

"Either way, I think I can understand the principle. It's just I don't have a desire to copy it."

"Actually, it's something good, my king."

"What do you mean?" Kai asked while parrying the tiger's paw.

"Have you ever thought about covering your own body with Magic Particles? This is something I want to teach you later, but the principle is controlling your Magic Particles to surround yourself, creating a kind of an invisible layer around your body to lessen the damage you get."

"Hmm? That kind of thing is possible, but I don't think the three bases have done more research about it."

"Well, it's a part of Mystic Art."

"Emphasizing the control, huh." Kai nodded in understanding. "When are you planning to teach me?"

"In three months?"

"Okay. I will observe it right now and learn it by myself. Maybe it will make my time easier later." Kai laughed.

"Suit yourself. I am going to stop you if I see a sign of exhaustion." Arba warned him with a smile.

"Okay, okay."

The tiger glared at Kai and let out a huge roar, releasing a sound wave to Kai.

Kai quickly protected himself with his shield and heard the tiger saying, "(You have the nerve to talk with me as your enemy. And you have the audacity to have it that long.)"

The tiger gnashed his teeth and waved his tail.

Kai saw that his tail started releasing blue light that turned into his tail's extension, flying to him like a whip.

Kai waved his sword and cut it down, but surprisingly, the two parts reconnected as soon as Kai's sword wasn't in the way.

"!!!" Kai instinctively jumped into the air and muttered, "That one is interesting."

The tiger used this opportunity to change his direction and leaped toward Kai, trying to devour him.

Kai summoned a Sound Blast magic circle on his right hand and launched his body sideways, allowing him to avoid the tiger.

The tiger quickly turned around and chased him, but Kai suddenly created a surprise attack when he waved his sword backward.

"Sonokinetic Blade."

The tiger was alarmed when he saw Kai attacking without even seeing his movement. It barely dodged the attack, albeit Kai took that opportunity to get close to the tiger.

The tiger seemed to know that Kai wanted to end this fight right now, so he waved his paw to launch him away.

Kai used his sword to cut the paw, but the tiger avoided his sword at the last minute and spun his body to get a chance for a sneak attack.

With the body upside down, the tiger launched an attack from below right at Kai's face.

Kai couldn't help but smile as if he saw it coming.

The tiger soon noticed where Kai's confidence came from. It turned out Kai had let go of his sword as if he had predicted that the tiger would do something like this.

Without his sword, Kai's hand moved faster and reached the tiger's body, punching his body and blowing him away.

The tiger flew into the air and rolled a few times on the ground. It struggled to get up because Kai hit his weak spot.

And Kai used that chance to arrive in front of the tiger, pointing his sword at the tiger's neck and ending the fight.

"(Thank you.)" Kai smiled and distanced himself from the tiger while sheathing his swords.

"(You are satisfied now?)" The tiger released his killing intent, glaring at him.

"(Yes. I do feel bad fighting you, but this is an emergency. I can't afford to have my own race wiped out from this world, you see.)" Kai shrugged.

"(Now that you have beaten me, what are you planning to do?)"

"(I will continue my training. In fact, I need to start running again right now.)"

The white tiger paused for a moment and looked away. "(In that case, go. If we cross paths again, I expect us to fight again. I won't lose next time.)"

"(Haha, sure.)" Kai chuckled and turned around, nodding his head to Arba.

Arba then released the magical beasts that followed the white tiger while regrouping with Kai.

The white tiger let out a roar to get rid of the hostility of his followers and kept going.

Kai also did the same and started running with Arba. He still had a long way to go.

A few days later.

Kai arrived at his destination.

In front of him stood a ruined building. The building looked like a castle that stretched far to the sides.

The walls appeared to be red, not because of blood, but something else. He couldn't help but smile once he arrived here. It was a gruesome journey because Arba kept annoying him with one task after another.

Though, he couldn't really complain because each task trained him to be even stronger.

Even Arba canceled a few tasks when she saw Kai was too exhausted. Although they were rushing, it wouldn't be good if Kai became too exhausted to even practice. It would just delay their training even longer.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at their destination.

The first thing Kai did was to drop to the ground and stretch his body. He was lying down on the ground while laughing. "Hahaha. I have finally reached this place. I am here, Red Fort… I am here, India."

"But we are going to continue our training here."

"Can't you give me one day off? No, just let me rest for a few hours. I don't want to think about training right now."

"You have two hours."

"Thanks." Kai chuckled before closing his eyes. Surprisingly, he ended up falling asleep, unaware of what happened next.

He didn't know that Felice actually sent him a message.
