Chapter 150: Kurt and Emily vs Joe. The Life of the Third Friend at Stake!

Emily and Kurt face off against their final brainwashed friend. Joe is ready to bury them beneath the elements.

“I will destroy both of you!” Joe shouts.

Storm clouds form near the ceiling, spreading across the room as Joe draws power from the room itself. Water from the swimming pool below rises into the air, feeding into the growing storm.

“It’s like how warm moist air from the ocean powers tropical storms,” Kurt says. “He’s using this pool like a mini version of that!”

Kurt activates his electric aura and looks to Emily. She nods in response.

Emily pulls out her bow and arrows, combining Kurt’s electric aura with her Channeling Magic to power them up.

“Die traitors!” Joe roars.

He unleashes a barrage of lightning toward them from the clouds.

“Aura Field!” Kurt shouts.

An electric aura field erupts around both Kurt and Emily. From the field, aura whips lash outward, striking the incoming lightning. The attacks collide and cancel each other out in bursts of light.

Kurt drops the Aura Field and charges forward as Emily readies an arrow, its tip coated in Kurt’s electric aura.

Kurt begins punching Joe, but Joe blocks the blows with his arms.

Emily releases her electric arrow.

Joe dodges it, but Kurt draws the arrow back toward himself using his electric aura and snatches it midair. In one swift motion, he thrusts it into Joe’s gut, blood seeping out from the wound.

“That’s where your demon heart is, right!?” Kurt yells. “That’s going to hurt real bad!”

“Errggerrr!” Joe groans.

Joe stumbles backward and falls into the swimming pool.

Kurt jumps in after him.

Joe uses powerful gusts of wind to propel himself through the water and slams a heavy punch into Kurt’s face.

Outside the pool, Emily slips on her green Channeling Gloves.

Inside, Kurt releases another Aura Field. The pressure forces most of the water outward.

Kurt shifts his aura to flame and launches a Flame Aura Uppercut, blasting Joe out of the pool. An aura hand forms from the field and grabs Joe midair, holding him in place.

With Joe immobilized, Emily rushes in and unleashes a furious barrage of punches with her Channeling Gloves. Energy bursts fly off with every strike she lands.

A new cloud forms above her, and razor-sharp hail rains down. Emily dives out of the way quickly.

Joe summons a powerful gust of wind, breaking free from the aura hand and landing back on the ground. He backs away from them.

Joe smirks. “You both know I have new abilities—”

Kurt interrupts him, shouting, “And we won’t give you the chance to use them! We will finish this fast!”

Kurt and Emily sprint toward him.

Joe begins powering up his magic, but Kurt leaps over him and kicks him from behind, sending him flying toward Emily.

“Emily!” Kurt calls.

Emily punches Joe hard in the face, thrusts her knee into his gut, then kicks him back toward Kurt.

“Kurt!” Emily calls back.

As Joe flies toward him, storm clouds gather around his fists. Rain, wind, and lightning swirl tightly around them.

“Storm Punch!” Joe shouts.

Kurt ducks to dodge the attack.

“Max Flame Aura Punch!!!” Kurt yells as he slams his flame aura-covered fist into Joe’s face, knocking him backward in a near-unconscious state.

Kurt and Emily approach him.

“But…” Joe mutters. “This power was going to take me to new heights…”

“And it can, but your heart is not in it,” Emily says softly.

“Shed the puppet you have become,” Kurt urges.

“The puppet…?” Joe repeats.

The world around him fades, turning to brief darkness. Within moments, he finds himself standing on a beach, waves rolling gently along the shore.

“Is this home?” he asks.

Joe will now go through the process to break free of Kogen’s control.
