Chapter 269: My essence can make you stronger
Kai didn’t even turn around to block the attack from Barry. His blade was stopped by a barrier that Kai erected, and Barry’s sword couldn’t cut through it.
"Nngh! Why is this barrier so strong?!"
"Because I’m awesome!" He grabbed Barry’s face, slamming him into the ground, then grabbed his leg, slammed him two more times, and then threw him into another tree.
"Remember, trees are not your enemy! Stop hitting the trees!" Kai shouted
"Then stop throwing me into them!"
"No idea what you’re talking about."
"Patty, lock the space around him!" Iris picked up her sword. "I’m going blue!"
"I’ll do one even better!" Patty clapped her hands, and the space around Kai was sealed. Then chains wrapped around his arms and legs, and runes appeared around the space that read "Lock," "Restrain," and "Capture".
Kai was really impressed. "God damn! You’re really good! You might be better than Nadya!"
"Hey!" Nadya wanted to jump in there and help the others fight him, but Kyana stopped her.
"Nice one, Patty!" Iris’s body ignited into blue flames, but that wasn’t all. Ice started to form around her arms and legs with blue flames intertwined in them.
"Holy shit! Ice-Flames?! That’s so fucking cool!" Combining multiple elements, especially opposing ones, was extremely difficult, and Kai was not expecting Iris to pull this off. He had to give credit where credit was due.
"Frost-Flame Nova!" A huge explosion made of ice and fire erupted inside the space Kai was in. Its full destructive force was able to run wild inside, allowing for the maximum amount of damage to be inflicted on him.
"Patty, let me through!" Barry ran past her, his sword beaming with divine light and swirling water.
"Goddess Blade, first form, slithering wave." Barry’s divine energy erupted, and he leaped into the air to bring his attack down with the air of gravity.
"Blade of the Water Goddess!" A powerful slash attack shattered the space Kai was locked in, and Barry felt his sword connect with Kai’s body.
"He’s not moving. Did we do it?" Iris asked.
Barry took one step forward to peek through the fog that surrounded Kai. "I think we-Nngh!"
Kai’s hand grabbed Barry’s face, lifting him up into the air. He tried to break Kai’s grip, but it was too strong.
"Blade of the Goddess?" Kai asked, feeling something tug at his mind. "That’s copyrighted!" He punched the air out of Barry, a huge shockwave flattening the trees around them as he was shot into the air, breaking the sound barrier.
"Shit! Stop him!" Iris and Patty jumped in, but their bodies suddenly stopped moving.
"Space magic is rare, but I have it too." An ember floated from Kai’s finger toward the girls, erupting into an explosion that leveled the forest they were in.
Then, he jumped into the sky, Barry still flying upward from his punch, then clobbered him back down to the ground, making Barry break the sound barrier once more and collide with the ground, creating a massive crater.
"I think that’s enough training for today. Now, let me tell you about our training regimen....After you all wake up."
---
It was around three hours later when Barry, Iris, and Patty woke up. They were a bit disoriented and only remembered a large explosion going off in their faces. At least the girls did. Barry was knocked out the moment Kai punched him in the face and was sent into the air.
"My chin." Barry groaned, rubbing his face.
"You’ll be fine. Iris, Patty, I have to admit it, you two were amazing. Your teamwork, your abilities, and your level-headedness. I’m truly impressed." Kai gave them a thumbs up.
"T-Thank you." Patty smiled.
"It’s all because we trained hard." Iris nodded with pride.
"As for you, Barry," Kai turned his attention to the hero. "While your combat prowess is good, you’re greatly lacking in power. So much so that your title of being a hero is a joke, no offence."
He sighed. "None taken. I’ve noticed the same thing. The only thing that makes me see the light at the end of the tunnel is that I’m stronger than even tier-10 sorcerers."
Kai coughed. "Yeah, about that."
Gwen, Amaya, Sasha, Kyana, and Nadya all showed off their power, and Barry could feel that they were all stronger than he was. Kai had never stopped giving them points, and since they only got stronger, he could give them more points. Currently, they were comfortably sitting around the 90,000 mark, give or take.
"Now that just makes me feel even worse." He fell backward out of shame.
"Don’t worry. I have a good way to make all of you stronger. You see, I have a way to increase a person’s magical capabilities. I can make all of you stronger without the need for intense training or anything of the sort."
Barry shot back up and listened intently. Iris and Patty were also interested in Kai’s method to make them stronger.
"What is it? Hurry! We want to know!"
"Okay, let me tell you how it’s done." Kai’s eyes glowed red, and a wicked grin appeared on his face. The eyes of Barry, Iris, and Patty reflected Kai’s own, shining red, indicating that they were now under his control.
"You see, in order for me to make you strong, I need to fill up Iris and Patty with my semen. My semen can vastly improve the strength of any woman. Take the girls behind me as an example. They’re nearly as strong as a baseline Demon King. Of course, like all training methods, there are some risks, and that risk is pregnancy."
Kai wanted to laugh; he needed to laugh, but he held it in. He couldn’t ruin the moment.
"I-I see." Iris looked down, thinking about the situation.
Patty did the same.
"What about me? Judging by your explanation, this method only works on women." Barry pointed out.
Kai smiled. "Correct, but there is a good part to this. You see, after being filled with my essence, they will get powered up, and after controlling the power, they can transfer it to you by simply touching your back. You know, like a mana transfer. But it’s permanent and can stack."
Barry understood what Kai was talking about, and his eyes lit up upon hearing that the transfer would be permanent and stackable.
"This is a great idea!" Barry shouted in excitement.
