Call of Lightning

33. I Must Recover from the Pain

Shodam floated in the air, striking Kenan while he was off guard. The force of the attack sent Kenan flying and destroyed a hill.

Shodam's teeth were bared, and he felt incredibly powerful. The troops behind him were also energised, having swallowed the demon pill. The strength of all the troops had multiplied.

"Lord Kalandra! Please don't lose!" Aeera shouted worriedly.

Kenan was thrown into a pile of rocks and dirt. He moved his arms and head. His head felt heavy, the blow powerful. This was the first time in Aeera's world that he had experienced such intense pain. Suddenly, his vision blurred and blurred. And then, images of himself being bullied by his peers suddenly appeared.

The pain he suffered during the bullying was hard to shake. Kenan saw a faint image of himself being bullied. His eyes saw all those memories, and they literally appeared before him.

Bug!

A kick, without any warning, struck Kenan in the stomach while he was wearing his school uniform. Kenan fell and hit the wall.

"Don't you dare fight back! If I tell you to give me your money, you have to give me your allowance!" shouted one of the bullies, Tomi.

Kenan was still feeling pain in his stomach and back, and several slaps had left deep marks on his right and left cheeks. Several people were behind Tomi, laughing as he tormented Kenan.

Tomi sat down in front of Kenan. He reached into Kenan's shirt pocket and found some money. He took it and pressed it to Kenan's cheek, patting it gently.

"If you had handed me the money from the start, maybe I wouldn't have hit you as hard. But you refused, so accept the consequences."

Slap!

Tomi slapped Kenan again with his left hand. Kenan winced, laughing along with Tomi. Some of his friends even enthusiastically recorded the incident.

Tomi stood up, looking at Kenan, who was still bowed and in pain. He moved his foot and stepped on Kenan's right shoulder.

"You are my slave! Be a good slave. Ha... ha... ha...!"

 

***

Kenan clenched his right fist, his hand trembling. He felt a headache from Shodam's attack, compounded by the images of himself being tortured.

I'm not a loser! I have to get better. That's when he saw his mother emerge from the mist. Her arms were outstretched to greet Kenan.

"Kenan... you have to be strong!"

Kenan's hands were trembling, and he moved despite the difficulty. Kenan forced himself to move, his entire body aching, but he refused to give up. He stood up, his eyes blazing.

I am Kenan Kalandra, the strongest being called Aeera!

BOOM!

Kenan must face all his weaknesses if he is to save Aeera and become a hero.

Sparks flew, energy overflowing from Kenan's body. The pain he had been suffering all this time was still more intense than Shodam's blow.

Hah! Hah!

Kenan caught his breath, the explosion startling Shodam and his troops.

"Still not dead. Let's fight to the death!" Shodam shouted.

Kenan looked at Aeera, who looked worried. He smiled and waved his hand. Kenan's thumbs-up signalled to Aeera that everything was fine.

"Aeera! Trust me, the strongest being you summoned!" Kenan shouted and flew to block Shodam's attack.

Brush! Boom!

A powerful collision occurred in the air, sending a fiery wind whistling and creating chaos. Kenan's punch blocked Shodam's hammer attack.

"Don't act so strong, human!" Shodam continued to press his energy attack.

Kenan smiled. "You picked the wrong enemy, Shodam!"

Boom!

Both were sent flying, and they shot back to meet and clash.

Brush!

Shodam's punch struck Kenan's cheek quickly, but Kenan also landed a right punch on Shodam's cheek. Both were sent flying.

Brush!

Kenan fell to the ground, and Shodam felt a sharp pain in his cheek.

"How are you, Shodam? Let's keep fighting!" Kenan shouted, ignoring the pain and dashing toward Shodam again.

Whoosh!

Shodam saw Kenan's fearsome appearance.

"All my troops, attack that human together! We must defeat him!"

Shodam's command was obeyed by all the demon troops, all attacking Kenan from all sides.

Saropus, Thogut, and Samel, three of Shodam's remaining top troops from his five troops, attacked Kenan simultaneously.

Aeera was deeply worried; this was an all-out battle that Lord Kalandra had prepared for her. "Hold on and win, Lord Kalandra," Aeera prayed from a distance.

Boom!

Kenan struck Thogut but was attacked alternately from both sides by Samel and Saropus. Kenan was knocked back. This fight was a gamble, and Kenan got back up. The pain he experienced this time was no worse than all the suffering and humiliation he had experienced in the past. Now, Kenan had to change. He wanted to be healed of all his fears.

HIAAAAAAAA!

An explosion of energy erupted, and Kenan pulled something out of his pocket. It was a glove. Kenan had already saved something from his bag. It was a cloth glove, a miniature version of a toy kid's toy. He had bought it on the marketplace earlier.

Kenan smiled, he was going to become a Sarobot, ha... ha... ha...

Kenan had been waiting for this. Blood dripped from Kenan's lip, and Kenan wiped it away. He had felt the pain of his nosebleed from being bullied at school. Back then, he was terrified by the sight of blood and hid in fear. Now, he no longer feared this blood.

It all had to end.

Kenan imbued his glove with divine mana. He saw the movie Sarobot, a hero who gained godlike powers from a robotic sheath created by a researcher. Kenan was intrigued and bought it. Could this weapon make a difference in his fight this time?

"You've already lost, human! Just surrender and accept your defeat. You'll die without suffering!" Shodam raised his hammer. Three of his subordinates surrounded Kenan from above. Meanwhile, the demon army surrounded Kenan, readying their energy to destroy him.

"Ha... ha... ha...!" Kenan laughed. "Have you ever seen everything doused in Pertamax and set on fire, Shodam?" Kenan asked.

Shodam didn't understand Kenan's delirium. "You're just bragging and trying to hide your defeat. Surely you're looking for an opportunity to escape, aren't you?"

"Ah! You still don't understand. Pertamax is fuel, and when it ignites, it destroys everything, including its nest."

"Nonsense! Attack and kill that human immediately!" Shodam shouted.

The enraged demon army charged Kenan.

Kenan brushed his hair back from his forehead with his left hand, seemingly in a Sarobot style. He took a toy laser flashlight from his pocket. And, as all the attacks came, Kenan smiled, and a powerful blast of energy spread out in a blinding manner.

Aeera saw this, "Lord Kalandra, please hold on!"

BOOM!

Powerful energy radiated from Kenan's left hand. A robot hole lit up in Kenan's left palm, which had been infused with mana energy from Sarobot's sheath. In his right hand, the laser energy glowed red and grew larger. Kenan moved and twisted his body, energy emanating from his open hands, destroying the attacking troops in midair.

Bodies exploded, shattered, energy erupted, bodies scattered, and a super cosmic explosion overwhelmed everyone watching.

Is this the end of the world?

Meanwhile, Kenan smiled and flew into the air, leaping from the ground and flying while spinning. The swords and energy in his hands spun and attacked in all directions. The red energy from both hands spread like long sword energy, continuing to destroy the demon army.

Shodam saw the red sword energy strike his body, and he used the energy from his hammer to block the attack.

Clang!

Smash!

No way!

His hammer, his strongest weapon, began to crack.

Crak! Crak!

Crash!

The sword energy shattered his energy hammer, penetrating his body's defences, and sending Shodam flying. At that moment, Shodam saw the three strongest demons under his command—Saropus, Thogut, and Samel—be pierced by Kenan's energy attack, their bodies exploding into pieces.

No way!

How could this human possess power possibly comparable to the Demon King, Helios? Was consuming a demon pill not enough to defeat a human?

No way!

BOOM!

Shodam's body hit the ground, and a massive explosion occurred. When Shodam got up, his body ached. He saw that all the Demon troops with him had been destroyed. Kenan was standing next to him.

Kenan smiled and released a powerful energy from his Sarobot gauntlet. A massive energy began to emerge, preparing to destroy Shodam's body. Shodam was defeated! However, just as the energy was about to explode, Kenan's body suddenly dimmed, his energy exhausted. His divine mana was gone! Kenan was shocked and looked towards Aeera. Aeera was in danger!

No way!

Sure enough, Aeera was captured by one of the monster troops, Cyton. The leader of the monster troops. Aeera was floating in the air, her body shackled with coils of energy. It was Cyton's power that could lock away divine mana.

"Aeera! Let go of Aeera!"

Kenan ignored it and dashed towards Cyton, who had captured Aeera. However, Cyton's shout made Kenan stop.

“Stop, or I’ll destroy this poor girl’s body! Ha.. ha.. ha..!”
