London's Sewers
The street Kai had chosen wasn't a coincidence.
That street didn't have a manhole, but it was at a distance from one where Kai could have dragged himself without hands and legs, if necessary. The moment Heavy Block had fallen, his eyes becoming two glassy hollows, Kai had taken the enormous man down the sewers, making sure he had left no obvious trail behind.
The scenes of the fight didn't matter as much.
With a dead body on his shoulder, Kai kept walking until he reached the temporary asylum he had created for himself after coming down to the sewers.
Using his last experience, Kai had turned quite a big opening within the sewer lines into a makeshift small room with a bed, chair, table, and other necessities.
He threw the corpse in a corner and slumped down on a broken chair.
Damn! Kai cursed, remembering last night's fight. I had thought I would get him with Serpent God's Wrath. What in the seven hells even was that? It seemed almost like my transformation of going beyond bodily limits.
Kai had indeed thought of getting Heavy Block using his Forbidden Technique.
Like always, he had also planned based on his experiences. What if an unknown enemy were to appear suddenly and attack him, or what if an Auror were to apparate next to them? What if the Light Neurotoxin wouldn't immobilize him as he had intended?
Kai had thought about all of that. But if only thinking of these things was enough, then he wouldn't have been called a Blood Demon.
There was always a trump card on him for the last moment's unexpected scenario. The appalling thing about people like Kai wasn't in having a trump card, but the Will to hold it back no matter what. Until the very last breath.
Saying, imagining, and sneering over it as if it was a simple matter, had always doomed such ordinary thinkers. If one had the power to use it in a fatal battle, how many could restrain themselves from not using it?
Ghost Serpent came out of Kai's shirt and slithered around his neck, her scales sending a cool sensation into his skin. "You were good out there," Kai said expressionlessly as if stating a mere fact. The serpent hissed, her forked tongue kissing his chin in reply.
Kai took a deep breath and finally recalled the notifications he had put aside.

...
Kai gazed at his Snake Language's Proficiency.
One single instance of momentary resonance between him and the serpent had increased it by 15%. If someone had told him that he would come this far just by owning a serpent, he wouldn't have believed it.
Then his eyes landed on the minuscule improvement in Twin-Saber Style... despite using the Forbidden Technique.
Kai sighed. I really need good sabers...
