Call of Lightning
22. One Punch Man!
HUUAAAAAAA!
Regius's anger had reached its peak. He had been toyed with several times. This time, he would not spare the Elves and humans. It was time to burn!
Boom!
The blast of black flames from Regius's body exerted intense pressure, burning the surrounding trees to ash. The ground around him formed a circle and exploded. Rocks flew from the ground and rose, then shattered in the air. Regius's ultimate power was unleashed. He wanted to destroy all the Elves and humans.
The intense pressure blasted everything away, chaos ensued, and the earth trembled.
"His power is terrifying!" said Genio. He created an energy shield to protect Princess Kalya and the Elves behind her.
"The power of that Demon is truly terrifying!" said Kalya, "Genio, I will use my ultimate power. I do this to protect our people!"
"But Princess!"
"Let me be the protector of my people, Genio!"
Genio didn't dare argue any further, but if he used his ultimate power... Princess Kalya might not even have a chance to live. Regius's power was incredibly powerful.
Princess Kalya readied her two swords, energy enveloping them. She prepared to use her power.
"Elven Princess!" a voice came from another direction.
Kalya saw through the chaos of Regius's energy that the voice belonged to the human, Aeera's summoned creature. It was the long-haired human.
"Please, hand Regius over to me. I will prove that we have a chance to obtain the Thunder Sword!"
Kenan clenched his fists; he had to earn the Elves' trust. They had to obtain the Golden Compass artifact and find that most powerful weapon. Energy surrounded Kenan's glowing hands, and on both of his hands, energy bracelets lit up and created a bluish energy.

A few seconds earlier.
"Aeera... Trust me," Kenan wiped away Aeera's tears with a smile.
Aeera smiled and let Lord Kalandra wipe away her tears.
"All this time, I've never trusted anyone. However, after meeting Lord Kalandra, I believe in the God you spoke of. He has sent you to me. If I only live once in this world, let me hope to believe in you, Lord Kalandra."
Their smiles met, their eyes meeting. There was a mutual trust between them. They were both lonely, and they had found an outlet for the loneliness and helplessness that had filled their entire lives.
BOOM!
And then, an explosion of energy occurred. Regius went berserk. He unleashed his peak power. Kenan immediately protected Aeera by creating a shield with the power of his two hands.
"I will defeat him, Aeera. Take cover behind Yuhas."
"Yes, Lord Kalandra!"
Kenan looked ahead, just as Regius was raging.
"I will defeat him with one blow, Aeera!"
Kenan looked down, his bag still lying there. It was time to show his power. He headed for his bag. Aeera knew that Lord Kalandra had brought many weapons prepared for their journey. Kenan crouched down and opened his bag. He took something out.
Got it!
Six small bracelets, and they were the magnetic bracelets he had ordered. Magnetism is the force of attraction and repulsion, two magnetic poles that are always opposite. However, they can become a force that sticks together when the two poles are brought together. And Kenan was confident. The magnetism would become a powerful force when fighting in Aeera's world.
Woohoo!
The six magnetic bracelets lit up, becoming larger, and Kenan wore three magnetic bracelets on each wrist. Kenan remembered a famous movie he had seen, a hero who wore the universe bracelets and could harness the powerful natural forces from the six bracelets. What was the title of that movie, Kenan recalled? Right, Sin Chan! The Power of Ring! Ha... ha... ha... Kenan remembered.
***
"Elven Princess, leave Regius to me! You focus on protecting the Elf race!" Kenan shouted, flying toward Princess Kalya and Genio. Kenan stood in front of them and faced Regius, who was already ready.
The bracelets on both of Kenan's hands lit up.
"Why... why do you want to defend the Elf race?" Kalya asked, surprised.
Kenan was still looking at Regius, "No problem! Because I, Aeera, have been asked to protect this life. And, I will do whatever she asks!"
HUUUUAAAAA!
"Expect to meet the king of hell, and tell him my regards. Regius, ruler of the world!" shouted Regius. He shot swiftly toward Kenan and the Elves.
Whoosh!
"What a big deal!" shouted Kenan.
Whoosh!
The movement was imperceptible, like slow motion to everyone. Regius and Kenan's speed seemed to no longer be in the same time dimension as the Elves and Aeera. They seemed to be separated from time itself. The speed of their ultimate attacks was at its peak. The two were prepared to clash with their strongest power.
"Die, arrogant summoned beast!"
Regius's energy shot swiftly, blocking Kenan's path. Regius was certain his power this time would destroy the summoned creature. Nothing could survive the fiery power of his ultimate attack.
The attack drew closer, a blow of such force that it shattered the ground beneath it.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Woosh!
And Kenan smiled. A smile like a hero who had come to bring peace and light. Kenan's left hand readied itself, three magnetic bracelets vibrating furiously. They merged to form a mixture of red and blue. A union between the two poles of magnetism, fire and water. An abundance of mana energy.
Clap!
Impossible!
Regius's right hand was blocked and caught by Kenan's small hand. Kenan had withstood Regius' legendary ultimate blow.
Regius tried to pull his hand away, but he couldn't. The power was like the power of the heavens, so solid. Regius trembled and couldn't move. He still had his left hand. He could still fight!
As Regius' left hand was about to strike Kenan, Kenan squeezed Regius' right hand with the power of nature. The three bracelets on his left hand spun rapidly. The rotation of the energy hole. A power capable of absorbing natural energy.
Crack! Brush!
"NOOOOOOOO! AAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Regius's right arm was shattered, something impossible for him, a first-tier member of the Demonic forces.
Kenan removed the three bracelets on his left hand, folded them, and merged with the bracelet on his right. Six bracelets emerged from Kenan's hands, spinning and expanding. They formed a large circle on Kenan's back. They spun and rotated rapidly, like gears turning rhythmically.
Energy entered Kenan's body, centering on Kenan's right hand. The energy overflowed, and just as Regius was about to flee, he knew he was in danger. However, he was too late.
"The one punch I promised Aeera, One Punch Man!"
BOOM!
A massive explosion, Kenan's fist shattered Regius's body, and a ray of light exploded. It spread out, full of beauty. A snowfall of energy from the pieces of fire energy that had been destroyed from Regius' body. Everyone saw the sky clear, the dark clouds disappearing. Everyone was surprised. They saw Kenan's power, capable of destroying Regius with a single blow.
Aeera smiled from below.
"He succeeded. Lord Kalandra is indeed great!"
"Yes, Princess," Yuhas's voice rang out. Yuhas even bent one knee to the ground. It was a sign of respect for someone with such power. He acknowledged that Lord Kalandra was a powerful being.
The sky was clear. And Kenan was still floating in the air among the shattered fragments of Regius's body.
Woohoo!
And suddenly, Kenan felt his vision blur. His eyes felt blurry. Everything was shimmering with light. He was losing control of his energy. What was happening? Kenan's body was so weak. He was powerless.
He fell from the air, his hands trying to reach for the sky. He couldn't.
Woohoo!
"Lord Kalandra...!" Aeera shouted from below.
What was happening?
