Book 2: Chapter 236

Sedi frowned.

Her attack didn’t work at all. In fact, it felt like trying to stab a needle into a brick.

In the end, the only things that broke were Sedi’s fingernails.

“Kuk.”

There was a look of disappointment on her face. It was a bit childish for her to display such an expression when her attack didn’t work, but at that moment, she couldn’t help it.

Why the hell was this guy’s defense so high?

“Stand back.”

Then she heard Lukas’ voice in her ear.

His voice was soft, but it was filled with confidence.

It was strange. She was certain that Lukas was much weaker than her now, so it should be impossible for any of his attacks to work on Kaz.

But if it was Lukas...

If it was the man she recognised as her father, maybe he might really be able to do something.

Rumble...

The air around them began to vibrate slightly.

Realising that this phenomenon was not natural, Kaz lifted his face and sniffed the air.

He looked up at the sky. Was something being created there?

“What is that? It doesn’t look like sorcery...”

Suddenly, a white bolt of lightning shot down from the sky. Like a spear thrown down from heaven by God, the bolt of lightning penetrated Kaz’s body.

7-star spell. Gigantic Thunder.

Once again, he was forced to use a large chunk of his depleting mana reserves. But it couldn’t be helped. After all, Lukas didn’t think 6-star and lower spells would have any effect against the Dragon King.

No, in truth, he didn’t believe a 7-star would have much of an effect either.

“That sorcery is very interesting.”

As expected, Kaz’s voice sounded from within the dust cloud that had been created by the lightning attack.

When the dust cleared, his body was revealed. Sparks were flying off of his body, but other than that, he was completely fine. There wasn’t a single visible wound.

“This...”

Sedi was speechless. Even the spell that Lukas had faith in didn’t work.

This was the effect that Kaz was aiming for, but Lukas was not discouraged. Instead, he felt like he had solved the mystery of Kaz’s defense to an extent.

“He’s probably strengthening the area right before receiving an attack.”

A faint smile stretched across Kaz’s face when he heard this.

It was already too late for him to dodge. The Another Sun wasn’t just floating in position like the real sun. Instead, it was shooting towards Kaz like a meteor.

Boom!

The instant it collided with the ground, an enormous wave of heat soared in every direction.

Without even trying to defend himself, Lukas took a deep breath before collapsing onto his butt.

“Father!”

Sedi hurriedly rushed to his side and blocked the incoming red flames from Another Sun.

“Are you alright?”

“I’ve used almost all of my mana.”

“I see. Your attack was very powerful.”

“...it wasn’t enough.”

“What?”

“Sedi, I was wrong. We shouldn’t have fought Kaz.”

“What are you talking about?”

[This certainly was hot.]

Just as Sedi was wondering if Lukas had become delirious because of mana loss, they heard footsteps approaching them from behind.

Lukas could see the figure of someone walking out of the ball of flames that was Another Sun.

[However, I think this proves that your little magic tricks don’t work on me.]

It was Kaz.

He looked completely different now. He no longer looked like a human but like a Dragonman. No, his appearance was still a bit too exaggerated to be called a Dragonman. Even when compared to the ones who lived on Death Island.

The scales that covered his body were a disturbing shade of green, and a pair of enormous wings were folded on his back.

However, the thing that made Lukas’ heart heavy was the fact that there wasn’t a single injury on his body.

There wasn’t even a scorch mark.

It had to be mentioned that this was the same spell that had, at one point, killed a Demigod, although they were in a weakened state. A spell with that much destructive power had hit him directly, but it had no effect at all.

What this meant was simple.

“...Dragon King Kaz, is no longer mortal.”

Lukas realised that he’d made a big mistake.

The Absolute on Death Island that Arid had told him about. He’d always assumed that it was one of the Absolutes who had entered at the same time as he did.

He hadn’t thought of any other possibilities

It was a hasty judgement on his part.

After all, even though it was only a world created for the Great Game, there was still a possibility.

Dragon King Kaz...

Was an Absolute who had been born in this world.
