Chapter 186: Urine and Dance
---
Ash drifted around him like snow. The battlefield had become a graveyard of steaming corpses and crushed ambition. Blood pooled in craters, bone fragments jutted like broken teeth from the mud. Bodies of three frogkin and many ant warriors alike—were scattered in every direction, twisted in defeat. Even the air reeked of iron, bile, and something ancient that didn’t belong in this world.
Kai was silent.
Steam curled off his shoulders. His aura pulsed faintly along the edges, glowing red-black with the dust. His hands were slick, dripping gore onto the cracked stone. He didn’t move. He didn’t need to. The entire world moved around him now.
Azhara arrived at Kai’s location and skidded to a stop beside a smoking crater, chest heaving as she took in the aftermath.
Her eyes scanned the carnage, widening with disbelief. Dozens of bodies. Frogs dismembered. Ants dissolved in acid. The battlefield looked like it had been swallowed by a god’s tantrum.
She swallowed hard.
"Holy hell," she muttered under her breath. Her voice was quiet but heavy with shock. "You’re too strong, sir..."
She took another step forward, her boots crunching over shattered carapaces and fragments of shattered star cores. Her gaze turned to Kai’s silhouette—broad-shouldered, jaw clenched, eyes glowing with feral restraint.
"Your impact killed so many... I thought—" she hesitated, horror slipping into her voice, "Did you kill the ants too?"
Kai didn’t even turn.
