Jiang Xia's body gradually flew to the highest point, and under the moonlight only a faint shadow remained.

The transformed kiva lightly flicked its wings, and a violent hurricane burst from its back.

"This is the second round." Jiang Xia snapped their fingers, and their body instantly rose into the air.

And each time it was just a hair's breadth away from hitting the mark, this made the unintelligent beast especially furious.

Different colored demon emperor power continuously flowed within kiva's body, and a hint of gold gradually appeared on the colorful kiva's body.

"Mr. Jiang Xia!" Hong Du exclaimed, looking at the now pitch‑black pier.

With a light leap, kiva's entire body hovered directly in the air.

Standing at the highest point, the fear of failure instantly vanished.

"WakeUp"

Instantly it turned into a pitch‑black expanse, like a white jade disc moon hanging high in the sky.

Hong Du used their hands to pull their own body, avoiding being swept away by the powerful storm.

"Mr. Jiang Xia, please don't come to any harm." Hong Du worried.
