Madness

Leroy's eyes turned into a wild golden hue. His manic, erratic grin stretched even wider. "Alright, big bro..." he hissed, his voice a near-growl before the roar came. "You asked for this."

His muscles began to burst.

His entire body swelled, veins pumping blood at an overwhelming rate, and his skin turned a brilliant crimson. In that moment, the air around him began to warp, as if even the atmosphere couldn't withstand his power. His muscle mass increased tenfold, yet his movements remained unnaturally swift. In fact, his speed blurred his surroundings, distorting the air itself.

"You can't ESCAPE before me!"

Leroy's voice resonated with a thunderous roar, and the surrounding gravity undulated. Even his fury was enough to crush the rocks, trees, and even the water molecules in the air.

At the same time, Owen pulled back, his head lifting to the sky as he howled.

The air warped.

The elements went berserk.

Lightning danced wildly around him, hurricanes exploded, the earth shook, and fire split the atmosphere. Everything around him seemed to bend and change to accommodate his immense presence.

Then, his body began to grow.

His tattoos ignited, and his skin slowly began to turn into scales.

Within seconds...

Before them stood a massive being that seemed to consume the sky.

A dragon, covered in pure white and deep blue scales, a hundred meters long, with wings that stretched across the heavens.

When Owen opened his eyes, the sheer force of his power seemed to explode from within.

"Big bro..." a hoarse but mighty voice echoed. "Are you really sure you're not using any concepts?"

Leroy let out a wild laugh.

"Forget it, Owen! Let's tear him apart!"

Amidst all this chaos, Kylin stood still.

The surrounding gravity was frenzied, concepts were being distorted, and the elements flowed freely in every direction.

Kylin, arms crossed.

He had anticipated that this might be a problem earlier.

But…

He was Beyond now. And his race had ascended as well.

Yet still, that usual, light, nonchalant smile lingered on his face.

Leroy felt the tsunami-like increase in his muscle mass.

With his current form, he could obliterate everything around him. His blood accelerated, forcing his muscles to stretch outward in a desperate surge of power.

As his agility and strength combined at lightning speed, the ground cracked and shattered with each of Leroy's steps. It felt as though the very earth itself was trembling beneath him.

Suddenly, Leroy vanished.

Or rather, he moved at a speed so fast that he was invisible to the eye. The ground exploded, earth flew into the sky, and rubble scattered everywhere. In an instant, he reappeared in front of Kylin. His massive body, swollen with muscle, his blazing golden eyes, and that ferocious grin...

And then, he slammed his fist down.

BOOM—!!!

Kylin had raised his arms in time, but... the pressure around him immediately drove him to the ground.

The earth cracked, and a crater several hundred meters wide formed.

But before Kylin could recover, Leroy's other hand descended like claws, aimed straight at Kylin's ribs.

Kylin dodged to the side. Leroy's nails, sharp as blades, shredded Kylin's clothes. For a split second, Kylin's gaze met Leroy's frenzied eyes.

But Leroy didn't stop.

In an instant, Leroy spun around, delivering a powerful kick. Kylin bent backward, but Leroy's strength was enough to tear the surroundings apart. A violent gust of wind blew Kylin's hair. The pressure alone pushed Kylin back.

And in that moment, the sky rumbled.

Owen's voice.

A dragon's roar.

The air twisted violently.

The sky echoed with a thunderous boom. The sound waves turned into shockwaves.

Kylin's body was sent spinning through the air…

And then CRASHED into the GROUND.

BOOMMMMMM——!

The bottom of the crater trembled. Stones flew into the sky.

Some of Kylin's bones cracked.

A thin line of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

But…

He was still smiling.

He slowly rose, stretching his arms.

Then, he looked up.

Leroy was tensing his muscles, preparing to charge, and Owen still hovered above, a massive dragon soaring in the sky.

Kylin tilted his head to the side.

And let out a soft sigh.

Then, he spread his arms wide and took a deep breath.

"You've gotten stronger."

For a brief moment, the air fell silent.

The earth, the sky…

Everything waited.

Then Kylin spoke, in the calmest, most dangerous tone:

"Now it's my turn."

Kane dropped his wine.

The glass floated through the air.

The droplets of wine lingered in the air, frozen for a moment as if time itself had paused.

Then they exploded.

Kane felt every fiber of his body shudder.

"...Ah, damn it."

There was no trace of Kylin's usual nonchalance in his eyes now.

Only pure reality.

Silence.

But it wasn't an empty silence.

It was the calm before the storm.

Kylin's eyes glowed, deep and void-like, as if they contained the starless abyss.

The pineal gland…

Inside his brain, something akin to a third eye…

It began to spin wildly.

As if an invisible gear had been set into motion.

And then—

BAM!

The aura around him exploded.

But it wasn't an energy explosion.

It was the explosion of his very existence.

As Kylin's racial power was completely unleashed, the entire space around him distorted.

An invisible pressure spread in all directions.

As if the universe itself had no choice but to bow before Kylin.

And then…

Leroy shuddered.

It was an unconscious reaction.

It wasn't intentional fear.

It was instinct.

A call deep within his blood.

He was strong.

But in front of an Alpha, the others were nothing more than soldiers.

His body knew this.

And Owen…

Forgot to flap his wings.

The massive dragon body froze in the sky.

It was as if even gravity didn't know what to do with him.

It only wanted to kneel.

But Kylin smiled.

And he moved.

For a moment, he was gone in front of Leroy…

And then, he was there.

Leroy's leg was caught.

In the next instant, all of his muscles seized up.

And the world shattered with his launch.

Leroy's body, like a missile, was thrown.

Kylin hurled him straight into Owen.

They crashed in the sky.

BOOMMMMMM!

The air exploded with shockwaves.

Owen roared, his voice a thunderous growl.

But…

Kylin wasn't done yet.

He leaped from the ground.

But this wasn't a normal jump.

This was a reality fracture.

The air itself tore apart.

Kylin came down like a lightning bolt from above.

He struck Owen's chin with all his might.

The massive dragon spewed blood from its mouth and plummeted downward.

But Kylin didn't let go.

He grabbed Owen by the tail and hurled him toward the ground, straight at Leroy.

The two collided, crashing down into the crater like meteorites.

BOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!

The earth split open.

Mountains trembled.

Dust clouds spread for miles.

And in the midst of this, Kane…

First, he held his breath.

Then, he released it.

And then he cursed.

"…Damn it."

The dust clouds still hadn't settled.

In the crater, two figures were tangled together.

Leroy's muscular body was pinned under Owen's massive dragon form.

And in an instant, Leroy growled.

"Get off me, you damn lizard!" he snarled, punching Owen's scaly chest.

Owen responded with a deep growl.

"You stupid dog, if you've learned to fly, at least do it right!"

Leroy's face twitched.

"Fly?! YOU THREW ME, YOU IDIOT!"

Owen raised his paw to shove Leroy aside, but then—

"You really have gotten stronger, Owen. Leroy."

Silence.

For the first time when they heard that voice…

Their hairs stood on end.

A foreign, yet somehow familiar, tremor ran through their veins.

Was… was that Kylin?

But why…

Their instincts screamed at them to kneel.

Leroy swallowed hard.

Owen, for the first time, stopped flapping his wings.

And then…

They both turned their heads toward Kane.

Kane's wine glass had long since fallen from his hand.

He was shaking.

He took a few steps back.

Then began to curse.

"What… the hell…"

And then…

Owen and Leroy exchanged a look.

Just for a second.

Then they both grabbed Kane by the arms.

Here's the translation of your text:

"Wait!" Kane screamed.

But no one listened.

And then...

He was thrown towards Kylin.

In the air, Kane's face was filled with pure panic.

But not even panic could stop him from cursing.

"Damn filthy bastards! You—Kylin, catch me! Hold me! No, no, NO!—"

Just as he thought he was about to crash into the ground...

His eyes suddenly took on a cold, sharp clarity.

And in an instant, he unleashed two concepts.

Dream and Light.

The air trembled.

Reality rippled, even if just for a moment.

But... nothing happened.

Kane gritted his teeth.

He already knew... it wouldn't affect him.

So—

"HELP ME!" he shouted.

Owen and Leroy had already leapt towards Kylin.

Leroy pumped his muscles, increasing his speed, while Owen slashed his dragon claws at Kylin.

But—

Kylin was laughing.

Seeing this, Kane ground his teeth.

This man still wasn't using concepts.

But that wasn't a problem.

Because Kane had already locked onto his target.

Even if you were this strong, this must be your weak point, right?

And he clenched his fist.

As it flew towards Kylin's most sensitive area, a devilish grin spread across his face.

The moment Kylin noticed that demonic grin on Kane's face, an instinctive danger alarm went off in him.

And that moment, he understood.

What the hell was this bastard trying to do?

Kane's gaze, the direction of his punch...

Towards Kylin's most sensitive area...

Kylin's eyebrow twitched.

And at that moment, the curse that erupted from his mouth reverberated through the entire area.

"KANE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

But Kane had already adjusted his flight path.

As Owen and Leroy tried to catch him, Kane twisted madly and slipped away.

And then—

"HIHAAAAA!"

BAM!

Kane's fist struck Kylin's most sensitive spot.

A momentary silence.

Then...

The most devilish grin appeared on Kane's face.

"HAHAHAHA! GOTCHA, YOU DAMN BASTARD!"

The universe echoed...

The endless void briefly resonated.

Like the collapse of a star, the shattering of a galaxy...

The world's two most precious pebbles collided at the most wrong angle in history.

And then...

Here's the translation of your text:

The greatest pain arrived.

Kylin's pupils dilated.

Time momentarily stopped in his mind.

No concept, no power, no bloodline ability...

Could absorb this pain.

"Hhhrg—"

His body instinctively bent forward.

His knees gave way.

The entire universe became meaningless to him for a few seconds.

But...

Then...

Laughter erupted.

Owen and Leroy paused for a moment... then squinted their eyes.

What...?

Did he really...?

Did he really hit him?

And then...

Both of them started laughing.

Leroy slapped his knees. "HAHAHA! I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS!"

Owen had crashed to the ground, his massive dragon body trembling, smoke coming out of his mouth. "Damn… HAHAHA! Kane, you're crazy!"

As for Kane...

At first, he grinned with delight.

Then he realized Kylin was lifting his head and looking at him.

Kylin's eyes, dark as shadows, locked directly onto his.

And in that moment, Kane realized.

HE HAD MADE A HUGE MISTAKE.

His grin instantly disappeared.

He took a step back.

Then another.

Then...

He started running without even looking back.

"DAMN IT! I WAS JOKING, KYLIN!"
