The Battle in Dompai. The final moments of Aji and Jasum's battle. They had already unleashed their full strength, and Jasum felt he had to unleash his peak power. Aji shot up from the floor and charged towards Jasum, who had already transformed into his demon form.

The clash of fists left Aji and Jasum stuck. Both of them pushed against each other with all their strength. Jasum felt exhausted pushing against the force, which felt like a massive rock he couldn't push away.

It was like… when he had been utterly defeated with a single blow by the Lightning Striker. Jasum was furious, reminded of the figure he hated most. He used all his strength. He didn't care if his body was destroyed, but he didn't want to be humiliated again.

However, Jasum's strength couldn't even push him back, even though he had used all his strength. How could the young man possess such strength?

"Who are you, really?"

Jasum was drained of energy, his demon transformation shattered and shattered. He reverted to his original body, his energy depleted and his strength weakened. At that moment, Aji easily pushed him upward. Aji accelerated his movements and was already behind Jasum, who was facing downward.

"Rest in peace, I am the Lightning Striker!"

Jasum's eyes widened, and he tried to turn back. However, before he could turn his head, the powerful blow had already pressed against his back, and a loud sound of energy crashed into his back.

BLAAAMMMM!

Jasum couldn't get up after hitting the Dompai floor, and Aji slowly descended near Jasum's body, which had hit the floor with a bang.

Gayatri watched the violent impact from a distance.

Gayatri saw the fight vaguely, but she understood what had happened during Aji's fight. Although vague, she still wasn't completely sure. The terrifying power Aji possessed wasn't something that could be achieved with years of training.

Meanwhile, Gayatri also recalled the incident when Aji was trapped by an illusion. Gayatri wasn't too affected by the illusion because her adaptability was so fast; she dispelled it with her eyes.

The energy emanating from the figures in the illusion was an army of darkness. She knew they weren't real after fighting them all. The energy within their bodies seemed to reflect the darkness within her.

Upon realizing it was an illusion, Gayatri concentrated and managed to escape the Heart Dragon illusion. Upon realizing this, she saw Aji, emitting the highest energy and seemingly fighting desperately within the illusion. Aji continued to call out to Shura, while Gayatri struggled to wake him.

Gayatri summoned the courage to call out to Aji, using her powers to try to enter his subconscious. Aji finally regained consciousness, and the two of them saw the others trapped in their respective illusions. Gayatri revealed that the gem encased in gold carvings was the Heart Dragon.

Aji nodded. Gayatri warned Aji that it wouldn't be easy to approach the Heart Dragon due to the immense energy surrounding it. Moreover, the seal on the Heart Dragon was being removed by Grandpa Nurin.

Initially, Gayatri could only help the Heavenly Troops participants who were still trapped in the illusion one by one, by awakening them through the power of her subconscious. However, this would take time. Hearing this, Aji approached the artifact and the staff at the end of which was the Heart Dragon.

Aji asked Gayatri to give him the Energy Cup. Gayatri herself was surprised how a warrior like Aji knew about the energy cup. It was a secret reserved for high-level supports or mages.

The energy cup is a form of energy formed from many energies combined into a small container to hold a large amount of energy. Forming the energy cup requires intense concentration. Aji was confident that Gayatri could form the energy cup, having already witnessed her abilities.

Gayatri didn't dare object. While the Heavenly Troops were still trapped in the Heart Dragon illusion, Gayatri formed thousands of energy spheres and combined them into an energy cup. It took quite some time. However, she finally succeeded.

The cup was taken by Aji.

At that moment, Aji leaped forward to the staff that held the Heart Dragon. He used the strength of his fist to grab the Heart Dragon, seemingly enduring the pain and unconcerned.

He was able to penetrate the energy barrier enveloping the spear. Aji forced his way through, screaming, and finally managed to penetrate the barrier. Gayatri was quite surprised that Aji's power was able to penetrate the Heart Dragon barrier, even though she couldn't see its depth. The Heart Dragon was one of the Three Heavenly Secrets artifacts; not everyone could hold it with their bare hands.

Aji was different. He was mysterious!

Aji held the Heart Dragon with all his might. Aji struggled, but he was able to hold it. Just as his power was being released, Grandpa Nurin, who had already connected with the artifact, placed it in his left palm. He then raised his right arm. He enveloped his right hand in energy and struck the Dragon Heart artifact with his strength, shattering the jewel encased in gold carvings.

Sparks from the Dragon Heart gathered with energy, trapping the Dragon Heart fragments, preventing them from escaping the magic circle Aji had formed.

Aji could unleash magical power, even a barrier from a celestial artifact. He could even imprison the gentle sparks from all the shattered Dragon Hearts. How could Aji, who trained himself with warrior-like physical strength, be capable of such high-level magic?

During the first test, though unsure, Gayatri also saw a flash of shadow that grabbed thousands of energy discs and used them to attack the attackers and knock the examiners out. Gayatri felt that it was Aji's power, though she wasn't entirely sure.

The man was full of mysteries; he was initially unknown to anyone. In fact, she didn't even know where he came from. A warrior with such immense power should be renowned.

He seemed to have lived in the mountains for a long time, only to have recently descended into the world of martial arts. The man was still standing, leaning against a tree with his eyes closed. It was unknown what he was thinking.

"May I ask why you intend to join the Heavenly Army? And why do you want to destroy Lord Demon and his army?" Aji asked Gayatri without looking at her.

Gayatri was reminded of her childhood. When she remembered the massacre of her village by Lord Demon's army, her heart immediately burned with revenge. "I want to ensure that no one else loses their parents to Lord Demon's army. They must be fought, no matter the cost!"

Aji understood how many families had fallen victim to the cruelty of Lord Demon's group and his dark army. They wanted to rule the world and turn it into their own. Aji knew them all too well, and they would not care about anything that stood in their way. Even the most ignorant citizens would be sacrificed for their pleasure.

"Do you know the power of Lord Demon's army? You fought them earlier, but that was only a small part of their army."

Gayatri thought for a moment, "I don't know how strong they are or what their strength is. I just want to be part of the army that fights them."

Aji smiled, "Stubborn! If you really want to fight them, you need intensive training and the best of your abilities. If you truly want to fight the forces of darkness, then you must train well in the Heavenly Army."

The sun was getting hot and kissing the top of them. Aji's words fueled Gayatri's enthusiasm even more. "Train hard!"
