Chapter 214: One Move, 2000 Words

Chapter 214: One Move, 2000 WordsThe battle started as Julian, desperate to cling to any hope, summoned his fire lizard.

The beast materialized, embers sparking from its scales.

"Go! Now!" Julian screamed, his voice breaking with panic.

The creature obeyed, lunging toward Kenny with flames bursting from its jaws.

Kenny didn't move. He didn't flinch. His grotesque smile only grew as he raised a single hand.

A sudden gust of wind formed, extinguishing the flames with chilling ease.

The fire lizard yelped as the wind hurled it across the arena, crashing into the ground before vanishing in the shadow.

Julian's heart sank. His trump card was gone, and Kenny hadn't even broken a sweat.

"That's it?" Kenny sneered, his tone dripping with mockery. "That's all you've got? Pathetic."

Kenny took a step forward, his eyes glinting with malice. Julian stumbled back, his legs trembling.

"Kenny, wait! Let's... let's just talk about this, alright? We don't have to..."

"Talk?" Kenny interrupted, his voice cold and sharp.

He swiped his hand, and a shard of ice materialized in the air before shooting forward. It sliced across Julian's arm, leaving a jagged wound.

Julian cried out, clutching his arm as blood seeped through his fingers.

"Shut up, Julian!" Kenny snarled. "I don't want your excuses! I want your screams!"

Julian tried to retreat, but Kenny's attacks were relentless. Another shard of ice struck his leg, dropping him to his knees.

A gust of wind sent him sprawling onto the dirt, coughing and choking on the dust. "You think you can run?" Kenny hissed, stepping closer. "You think you can hide? You're nothing, Julian. You've always been nothing. But you know what's even worse? You chose to crawl behind Eratz. You punched me in front of him... him! This fucking bastard!!!"

From the side, Zara glanced at Eratz, and his expression sent a shiver running down her spine.

His eyes were cold, impassive, but simmering with barely restrained fury. A vein pulsed on his temple, his fists trembling at his sides.

Julian, trembling and battered, raised his hands weakly. He tried to summon a fireball, but Kenny snuffed it out with another wave of wind.

The effort was useless. Kenny was toying with him now, savoring every moment of his torment.

"I'm done being held back," Kenny growled, raising his hand. A crackling bolt of lightning struck Julian's shoulder, sending him writhing in agony. "Do you understand now, Julian? You were never strong. None of you were."

From the stands, the crowd watched in stunned horror. The spectators had fallen silent, their faces pale with shock.

Some turned away, unable to stomach the scene unfolding below.

Rowan remained frozen, his expression unreadable but his body rigid. His thoughts churned as he watched the boy supposed to repent descend into madness.

In contrast, the powerhouses from Infinite Twilight and Golden Cosmos showed no outward reaction.

"He's gone insane," Mercury muttered.

Kaida shook her head, arms crossed.

"Yeah. He's completely lost it." S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Leonidas leaned back in his seat, his sharp gaze fixed on Kenny, while Kallistra tilted her head, watching the spectacle with mild curiosity, as though studying a particularly animal. In the arena, Kenny knelt beside Julian, who was now sprawled on the ground, his body shaking.

Kenny raised a hand, letting a small flame flicker to life on his palm.

"You know, this feels good," Kenny said, his voice rising with twisted exhilaration. "Do you know how long I've waited for this moment? To finally make you all feel what I felt?"

He pressed the flame against Julian's arm, drawing a guttural scream from him. The smell of burning flesh filled the air, and Kenny's smile widened.

"Does it hurt, Julian?" Kenny mocked. "Good. Pain's the only thing people like you understand."

Julian raised a trembling hand, his voice weak and pleading.

"K-Kenny, please... I'm sorry..."

"Sorry?!" Kenny bellowed, his laugh manic and cruel. "Sorry doesn't erase what you did. It doesn't fix what that bastard Pandoras took from me."

The mention of "Pandoras" rippled through the crowd, and a wave of whispers broke out.

"Pandora?"

"Does he mean the Pharaoh?"

Marcus frowned as if trying to piece together the connection between Kenny and his family.

In the students area, Kian and Lila sat rigid, their annoyance at the insult to their family replaced by a creeping unease.

Kenny wasn't the same joke as before, and he openly declared war on them.

Kenny continued, his voice rising with fury.

"That arrogant bastard Eratz and his perfect little family! Always humiliating me, always acting better than me!"

The crowd gasped, realizing the fight wasn't just brutality, it was personal. Kenny's voice cracked with manic laughter.

"Do you know what it's like to be crushed under their shadow? To be left in the dirt while they

walk away without a scratch?... But not anymore."

He turned his gaze to the stands, his eyes blazing.

"I'll tear them apart. Every last one of them. I'll make them bleed, starting with this pathetic

insect!"

He kicked Julian's face, the impact echoing in the silence.

Blood sprayed across the dirt as Julian groaned weakly, barely conscious. Kenny kicked him

again. And again.

Each strike was brutal, sending more blood splattering as the crowd watched in disgust.

Finally, the teachers rushed in, their faces pale with panic. Rowan grabbed Kenny's arm while

another shielded Julian's broken body.

"That's enough!" Rowan shouted, his voice shaking.

Kenny pulled his arm free, his chest heaving. His gaze turned to the teachers, his smile

returning.

"Oh, we're just getting started," he said, his tone dripping with malice.

Kenny stood in the center of the arena, arms outstretched, his energy crackling around him.

He turned to the crowd, his smile widening.

"This is freedom!" Kenny screamed, his voice cracking with manic glee. "This is justice! And this idiot is only the first. I'm coming for you all, damn Pandoras!"

Suddenly, a sharp whistle cut through the air, and a projectile crashed into the ground in front of Kenny, sending a cloud of dust swirling around him and the teachers.

Kenny stumbled back, the teachers coughing as the dust cleared. Slowly standing face to them

was Eratz.

"Since you want so badly to end the Pandoras..." Eratz's voice slowly rose. "Why don't you start with the first of them?"
