Rare Purple Ability Card

Kyle had wanted to deal with and kill Igu, that Big-Eyed Alien, ever since he was in the outer district.

Having just arrived on Sakaar, he had originally intended to properly understand the place and its rules, without stirring up trouble too soon.

Yet Igu insisted on treating him as food, repeatedly hopping around in front of him to provoke him, glaring at him mockingly, and even plotting schemes…

For an alien like that, rather than leave it alive until the future, it was better to get rid of it early, lest it pop up again someday just to disgust you.

With that thought, Kyle’s expression turned cold. He kicked Igu hard in the stomach again. Under the full force of the blow, Igu’s body crumpled like a deflated ball and splattered against the alley wall.

"Igu!" The Big-Eyed Alien leader had not yet died. At the sight, his eyes nearly split with rage, and he fainted in grief.

"Next, it’s your turn." Kyle raised his eyes and stepped forward, ready to strike. Suddenly, he turned to look outside the alley. The female alien who had originally fled had returned in a panic.

"Damn it, look what you’ve done!" Night Ji muttered furiously. Kyle frowned, but quickly understood why she had come back.

Blinding white lights from the sky overhead and all around outside the alley shone into the narrow passage, converging on Kyle and Night Ji, the only two still standing.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Small spacecraft hovered above the alley with a low hum, densely packed until they nearly filled the night sky.

Outside the alley entrance, dozens of guards wielding Laser Guns blocked the exit, their muzzles and lights aimed at Kyle and Night Ji inside.

A larger, more technologically advanced hovercraft, equipped with a variety of high-performance weapons, broadcast down into the alley:

"Violators, you are surrounded! Do not make any futile attempts at resistance!"

"For violating the fifth rule established by the Grandmaster—engaging in private combat within Sakkar Main City—we, the guards, hereby arrest you and will send you to the life-or-death Duel Arena!"

"Looks like we went a little overboard." Under the threat of the spacecraft’s laser cannons and the guards’ Laser Guns, Kyle shrugged and stood where he was. Night Ji helplessly raised her hands and slowly moved closer to him.

"Hey. If we get caught, it’s basically certain death in the Duel Arena. We should work together," Night Ji said in a low voice.

"You’re talking to me?" Kyle was taken aback. Night Ji snorted. "Who else would I be talking to? In this situation, only the two of us working together have a chance of escaping the guards."

"No, I’m just a little surprised. I just killed your companions," Kyle said curiously.

"Igu and the others… they were never my companions. Besides, for survival, I can abandon anything."

As Night Ji spoke, the guards outside had already reached the mouth of the alley with their weapons raised. Her tone became urgent. "Decide quickly. If we drag this out any longer, we’ll really be finished together."

"I don’t mind." Kyle nodded. Even surrounded by armed aliens, he still had ways to escape easily, so he was not in the least flustered.

The reason he had stayed was the identity of the female alien before him.

Kyle’s gaze fell on Night Ji. Nearly a hundred Ability Cards shone with dazzling light, but one deep-purple Ability Card was enough to seize his attention and make his heart tremble.

Dark Elf Gene: The racial gene of a mixed-blood elf. Rare purple Ability Card (partially sealed).

A hybrid of a Light Elf and a Dark Elf, possessing the natural lifespan of several thousand years typical of elves, along with powerful vitality.

Inheriting the bloodline magic of both parents, light and darkness interfered with each other, making them difficult to control.

Current status: Innate abilities were partially sealed, unstable, and could not be extracted.

"A rare purple physique-type Ability Card!" Kyle silently clenched his fists. This was the first time he had ever seen a rare purple Ability Card!

If he could obtain such a high-level physique-type Ability Card and use it to strengthen his body, which had long reached a bottleneck, there was a great chance it could resolve his Gene Disease.

Although the Dark Elf’s innate abilities were unstable and could not be extracted, Kyle was still immensely excited.

Ignoring the time jump during the Space-Time Wormhole journey, this was only his first day on Sakaar, yet he had already encountered a member of a superior race worthy of long-term observation!

The Light Elf race should be in the upper divine realm where Asgard is located. How did they get involved with lower-level Dark Elves? Kyle inwardly mocked. Looking at Night Ji wrapped in her cloak, he made a decision. As long as I can ensure my own safety, I can help her escape.

Night Ji had no idea Kyle had thought so much. Hearing that he was willing to cooperate, she took a deep breath and said, "Then it’s settled. I’ll cast a spell as a signal to draw the guards’ attention. You can use the chance to break out, and then—"

"No need." Kyle interrupted her. Looking at the armed guards pouring in, he said, "There’ll be a huge disturbance soon. Just seize the chance and leave on your own…"

After saying that, under Night Ji’s shocked gaze, he suddenly accelerated and forcibly broke through toward the outside.

In half a second, Kyle rushed out of the narrow alley. He leaped up, stepped on a guard’s face, and used the force to launch himself high into the air.

"Stop him!"

Kyle’s insane move undoubtedly enraged the chief guard aboard the spacecraft. At his command through the communicator, dozens of armed guards on the street aimed at Kyle and pulled their triggers in unison.

Dozens of lasers densely shot toward Kyle as he was about to land. Kyle’s lips curled upward as he bent his knees slightly to gather strength, then stomped hard on the air beneath his feet—

Aerial Sprint!

A tide of energy erupted beneath Kyle’s feet. Propelled by the sudden acceleration, his body vanished from where he stood, leaving behind rings of white shockwaves and afterimages as he crossed twenty to thirty meters and landed clinging to the wall of a building.

By the time Kyle stood upside down on the building’s outer wall, the lasers finally collided and exploded where he had been, scattering blinding light in every direction.

"Come get me!" As if provoking them, Kyle raised a middle finger at the spacecraft in the sky. Then, without looking back, he sprinted and climbed away from the cluster of buildings.

"What kind of creature is that…" The guards and spacecraft pilots were all dumbfounded.

"What are you standing around for? Chase him! All of you, chase him!!" the chief guard roared furiously through the communicators and the spacecraft broadcasts.

Nearly ten hovering spacecraft immediately accelerated, blue flames shooting from their tails as they launched a dense pursuit after Kyle’s retreating figure.

"Who exactly is that guy?"

Night Ji, still in the alley, was also stunned. But after seeing all the spacecraft chase Kyle, she realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape. She hurriedly cast dark magic, and her body was enveloped by a cloud of black mist before gradually disappearing.
