"…Who is he?"

"He punched Idrian!"

"Idrian looks to be in… pain?!"

The people all around the world witnessed a sight that they never expected, and that was to see Idrian in pain.

When every army in the world attacked Idrian in the Fields of the Lost, they only managed to make him yawn.

"It couldn't have possibly hurt you this much. Stand up."

Kiernan said.

"…Idrian does not know you. Idrian asks who are you?"

Idrian stood up, but when he was fully standing up, he was still a head shorter than Kiernan, so he had to look up into his eyes.

He was slightly self-conscious about his height, so whenever there was someone taller than him, he usually forced them to kneel.

But now, he didn't think of doing so, as this person before him managed to hurt him for the first time in his life.

"Name's Kiernan."

He said.

"…Kiernan. Idrian does not know of any Kiernan. Idrian will remember that name, but now, you will die."

Idrian's right arm turned into the head of a shark, and it took a big bite of Kiernan's left arm and the side of his torso.

The shark munched on the flesh with a thrilled expression.

"It's over!"

"He is so dead!"

"Why did that idiot even try to fight Idrian?!"

Those watching from homes cried out.

In that moment, the flesh that shark was munching turned into black smoke and returned back to Kiernan's body, making his arm and torso intact again.

"…What?"

Idrian exclaimed.

It was the same look of shock that every person in the world had, and looks of excitement appeared on everyone's faces.

"H-He is a power user!"

"Isn't he the second-ever power user after Idrian? Unbelievable! I didn't think it was possible, as I thought Idrian was God's chosen child!"

The people exclaimed.

Kiernan showed his intact arm to Idrian, and then he clenched his hand into a fist and punched him across the face.

The snow under them cleared as the shockwave swept through the ground, and Idrian stumbled back a step.

His cheek was hurting, and he felt like it was about to swell as well.

"…What is your power, shark arm?"

Kiernan asked.

"…Megalodon, the King of the Sharks. With this power, Idrian will eat this world whole."

Idrian said with a cold gaze.

In that moment, the ground under them turned into the jaw of a shark, and it closed shut, trapping Kiernan and Idrian inside.

It was dark and suffocating.

Kiernan disappeared into a black smoke and flew out of the tiny gap between the shark's teeth, heading high into the air.

In that moment, the Megalodon shark jumped up from the ground—it turned from just a mouth into a full-fledged monster—and it tried biting down on the black smoke.

The black smoke turned back to Kiernan, and with a flaming fist, he punched down at the monstrous shark.

"High Supernova!"

Megalodon and the fist collided, creating a blinding explosion of light.

The wind gust caused by the collision was so immense that the news helicopter almost fell down from the sky.

Luckily, the pilot had enough brain to quickly regain control and stabilize the helicopter.

Megalodon's mouth opened, and Idrian jumped out, and he rained punches at Kiernan, but he deflected them all.

In that one short moment of intense combat, both of them realized that Kiernan was a superior martial artist.

It wasn't really even close.

'…This is a different world, and thus the Martial Arts Pathway does not exist here. Idrian didn't become a Martial Legend powerhouse because of martial arts.

'It's something else.

'This is why I have to fight Martial Legend instead of just High Stage Martial King to prove my worth.

'It's because Idrian is a weaker Martial Legend than those back in the Martial Arts World!'

Kiernan clad himself in Black Qi, and the smoke started rising from his body.

In that moment, Idrian pointed his hand towards the sky, and to the horror of onlookers, the sky turned into the head of a megalodon shark.

It was enormous, and as far as the eye could see, the sky was just the big head of a shark, and this kind of power was very terrifying.

It would be easy to end the world with this power.

'This power, on the other hand, is extremely powerful.'

Kiernan thought

He knew that he couldn't waste time. If he pushed Idrian too much, he might try to destroy the world.

He pointed his hand at Idrian, and the Black Qi outfit slithered out of his body and wrapped around him in a tightening bind.

"Mastered Iron Style, Black Trap!"

Idrian struggled to move, but then, he turned the side of his torso into the head of a shark and took a big bite out of the Black Qi.

Black Qi got torn to pieces, and Idrian was immediately freed.

"…"

Kiernan felt his martial soul beat, and it started peeling off a layer at a crazy pace, and in no time, it was completely peeled off.

A new layer of beautiful martial soul shone through the darkness of his inner being, and it scared away all the Uncontrollable Demons hiding there.

[High Stage Martial King Achieved!]

[Conditions Have Been Met]

[Current: Black Qi + Black Darkness]

[Do You Want To Upgrade?]

[Y/N]

"Of course!"

Kiernan shouted and pressed yes without any hesitation.

[Upgrading…]

[New Ability Unlocked!]

[Demon Wolf - Transformation Type]

"Hoooooooooooooooooowl!"

In that moment, Kiernan's head turned into a head of a wolf, and the powerful howl terrified the megalodon shark in the sky.

In no time at all, he turned into an ordinary-sized black-furred wolf, but then he started growing and growing.

He didn't stop growing at all and he was suddenly over hundred meters tall, and his enormous size caused the earth to tremble beneath him.

The eyes of the demon wolf were a beautiful shade of blue.

Kiernan the Demon Wolf opened his mouth wide, revealing rows of sharp teeth, and then a bright light burst out.

It was a bright blue light, and it increased the radiation around him.

"?!"

Idrian was so stunned that he could barely speak, and before he could speak, Kiernan the Demon Wolf released an atomic breath.

"HOWL!"

The atomic breath engulfed Idrian, burning through his flesh and incinerating him instantly.

In the sky, the megalodon shark disappeared, leaving no trace of its existence, and the world quieted down.
