Kangki looked at Lukas with a raised eyebrow.

“…right. Now I get it. Was this the reason you made the doppelgangers? To avoid my watch and head to Babylon to persuade Li Hao to come help you?”

“…”

“That must mean that Li Hao is the trump card you prepared.”

Trump card.

The term ‘assurance’ would be a better answer, but Lukas didn’t bother correcting Kangki.

Nevertheless, Kangki continued to speculate.

“Now that I think about it, Li Hao is an outsider. And you’re also an outsider… So I can assume that you knew each other before you came to the Heavenly Realm which is why you reached out to him for help. If that’s the case, then…”

After finishing his calculation, Kangki looked at Lukas with a cold sneer on his lips.

“I suppose I should thank you, Lukas. This situation is not bad for me at all… Now that Li Hao, a Fighter from Babylon, is messing around in my arena, I’ll be able to gain a few benefits from Ishuta.”

It was widely known that the Whirlwind of the Arena was one of Ishuta’s favorite Fighters.

If he were to capture him without killing him and offer to return him to her in one piece, Ishuta would have no choice but to accept it.

“What if I asked for the body parts of the Ancient Dragon that you sold to her? I think that would be enough to make up for the damages I suffered today to an extent.”

“You’re quite delusional. Do you think your men are enough to subdue him?”

“Haha! On one side is a man who ranks third in the Babylon Arena, while on the other side are 50 of my best Fighters together with my Champion, Samash.”

Kangki’s voice became cold.

“Which one of us is the delusional one?”

“You don’t know.”

“What?”

What kind of man Lee Jong-hak was.

Lukas swallowed the rest of his words.

The man who was wielding his sword in the arena was a genius.

A genius who had fought against beings like the Demons who were inherently stronger, and had even created a technique to help him hunt them more efficiently.

The Evil Vanquishing Sword Technique.

This was the sword technique Lee Jong-hak had created at a young age. Even if one were to only look at that fact, it meant that he had long entered the realm of martial arts grandmaster.

In addition, the Evil Vanquishing Sword Technique was created by combining dozens of existing sword techniques.

In a sense, creating a sword technique by combining several sword techniques which had different forms, styles, and foundations, was much harder than creating a sword technique from scratch.

And if Lukas’ predictions were right, then Lee Jong-hak had probably already created a sword technique with which to use against Dragonmen Fighters.

That was why he wasn’t worried about him.

“Let’s put aside the small talk and get started, shall we? Since I’m aiming to be the Grand Champion, it shouldn’t be difficult to defeat someone like you who only made it to the semi-finals.” (TL: poor Kangki)

“…Grand Champion… that’s not a title that outsiders who don’t know anything should mention lightly.”

Kangki narrowed his eyes.

“Fine then. Since you want it, I will show you. The power I have gained.”

Dragon Hunter Lukas.

He was already aware of the fact that he wasn’t a Sorcerer, but something else.

There was no need for him to hear any reports from Aram.

The omnidirectional annihilation of ki that he’d used was still active even at that moment. Nevertheless, Lukas was clearly displaying the powers of nature, which looked similar to sorcery.

In other words, Lukas wasn’t actually using sorcery, but something else.

‘…it doesn’t matter what it is.’

He didn’t care, he didn’t care a single bit.

Kangki slowly increased his fighting spirit.

This was similar to the process where warriors would calm their minds in order to bring out their best condition before battle.

However, in the case of Fighters, instead of calming down, they increased their fighting spirit.

Thirst and hunger.

And extreme hostility towards their opponent.

All of these combined to create a state of intentional agitation.

Ku, gu, gu-!

In a way, the immense fighting spirit that erupted was, in its own way, a form of pressure for the opponent.

Kangki’s surroundings began to distort. This was because of the immense heat that was beginning to rise off of his body because of his scorching hot fighting spirit.

Bang!

Following that loud sound, Kangki’s giant figure seemed to disappear from the arena.

And the place that he eventually appeared, was behind Lukas.

Crackle.

He stretched forward a fist filled with explosive power so potent it seemed to warp the space around it.

To Kangki, it didn’t matter if Lukas tried to block this attack with the invisible barrier he’d used earlier. No matter how many shields he tried to erect around himself, his fist would definitely crush all of them.

Swoosh!

Perhaps Lukas also realised that, because he narrowly avoided the attack by a small margin. Moreover, the way he avoided the attack was strange.

Even with Kangki’s dynamic vision, he failed to follow Lukas’ movement.

‘He didn’t move to avoid it, but disappeared instead?’

This must be another one of his tricks.

He was certainly better than any Sorcerer he’d faced before.

But he didn’t panic.

Kangki’s burning figure didn’t budge from that spot. Instead, his red eyes swept across the entire arena in an instant.

And he was able to find Lukas not that far away.

Woowoong-

However, his attention was immediately drawn to the strange rod in Lukas’ hand.

A stick… No, was it a cane?

It had a shape that he had never seen before.

A dark red jewel sat at the top of it, and it seemed to glow softly as though it was filled with molten lava.

Paht!

At the same time, dozens of spells suddenly appeared behind Lukas.

Kangki didn’t move, instead, he narrowed his eyes.

‘Fire, ice, electricity, rock, wind…’

He couldn’t recognise most of the other attacks.

Was this just a massive attack? Or was he planning something else?

“How interesting!”

Kangki let out a loud roar.

“I’ll let you attack this once!”

Without bothering to respond, Lukas pointed his finger towards Kangki.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

And dozens of spells shot towards Kangki at the same time.

Kangki didn’t try to dodge.

Instead, he looked at the incoming attack and opened his mouth.

Woong-

Something began to light up within Kangki’s throat.

This was similar to something Lukas had witnessed before.

‘…no way.’

Rooaaar!

With a loud roar, a breath attack shot out of Kangki’s throat.

When he saw this, Lukas couldn’t help but be surprised. After all, he never would have expected a Dragonman, not a Dragonling or an Ancient Dragon, to use a breath attack.

Crash!

Moreover, the power of this attack was overwhelming.

Although most of them were weak, the power that the dozens of spells had when combined was nothing to scoff at. Nevertheless, they disappeared in an instant in the face of the breath attack.

And even after that, the power of the breath attack didn’t diminish at all. Without the slightest decrease in speed, the breath attack shot towards Lukas.
