165 Points of view “Well done, Orin. Your use of Void Breath has improved greatly over the last few weeks. You are able to hide your presence to a level even Peak Wave Warriors might have a hard time detecting it.” Orin nodded to Jonathan’s words as she continued moving from one corner of the room to the other, applying footwork that could disorient most people as her vital signs became undetectable. Void Breath no longer drew all of her energy, and she could easily use it on a battlefield. Jonathan nodded as he saw the cadet’s dedication, but as he looked around the room, he could not help but frown as he noticed that someone was missing. Cain had informed Jonathan that he would miss a few classes, which the teacher accepted. Jonathan already had taught them the essence of assassination to Cain and Orin, and the purpose of these last few classes was to polish their techniques. Jonathan did not question Cain’s decision to skip the last classes since he knew the young man took the art of assassination seriously. There must be a really important reason why he chose to leave the fort. ‘Ahh, I hope that brat is fine.’ He could only sigh as he imagined the dangers Cain should be facing before turning toward Orin and focusing on the girl. — The next day in the Genetic Coder Class, Camil was helping the cadets to create Silver Vectors, and she looked at the spot where Cain used to sit. ..... Cain had also informed the woman that he would not be attending the last classes, and there was even less problem with him missing these than those from Jonathan. His mastery over Genetic Coding reached a level where Camil could only keep teaching him once this one became a Grand Genetic Coder. Cain had already begun to create almost flawless Golden Vectors, and he could synthesize complex Wave Viruses, so there was not much to teach him other than to refine his abilities. Camil was not the only one worried about Cain since Lurin and Ophelia also acted the same. The duo kept leaving a seat empty among themselves despite Cain not coming to classes. — A young man sat inside a volcano that unleashed a heat capable of melting metal. He adopted a meditative position less than fifty meters away from the lava, and one could see burn marks all over his body. Despite the youth’s condition, energy and vitality overflowed his body as golden wisps of red flames coursed through his skin. Suddenly the youth opened his eyes and took a capsule with a red liquid before injecting it into his chest. The Wave Virus began to circulate inside the youth’s body, inducing fever, but it was not long before a wave of immense hunger assaulted him. Luckily for the youth, energy, and vitality were two things his body was currently overflowing with, and soon he felt the increase in his Wave Talent. As he stared at the empty capsule, the youth could not help but frown. It lasted less than a second, but that lack of focus almost made the golden red flames go wild, threatening to consume his flesh and blood as fuel. “Brat, keep focused on your cultivation and do not let the outside world taint your mind. What is the point of worrying about something when you don’t have the power to change it?” That voice did not come from the sky but deep within the volcano’s lava. The idea of a man submerged in something like that was outrageous since the lava’s temperature was a fifth of the Old World’s sun’s surface! Yet, it was happening right now. Levi immediately nodded as he heard the words of his master and adopted a meditative position before shutting down everything else. It seemed that the owner of the voice noticed Levi’s commitment and chose to speak again. “According to my knowledge, your friend is still alive. If something changes, I will tell you.” Levi did not open his eyes but softly nodded as he focused on his training. — Zarak was in the midst of his training, and a raging Astral Wave burst from his body with so much power that it could easily flood entire cities and break buildings to pieces. Even though Zarak took the Ego Eternal Path of Power as his main path, that did not mean he neglected his Astral Rebirth Path of Power since it was also a fundamental core of his battle power. Despite the might of Zarak’s Astral Wave, the room’s walls endured their power, proving just how mighty the Titan Tower was. Zarak’s eyes narrowed as he saw that the teleportation matrix was about to act, and he retracted that bursting Astral Wave back into his body. Abin appeared in the room before walking toward Zarak, bowing, and immediately going straight to business. “Young Lord has yet to return to the Imperial Lightning Fort, and there is no trace of him being in the Whisper Forest, where he was supposed to be.” Cain had to take a mission to leave the fort, and he chose one in the Whisper Forest. It was not uncommon for the cadets to take assignments just so they could go somewhere else, but as long as they showed proof of their work, everything would be fine. However, while Cain’s mission was incredibly challenging, he was supposed to return already. Zarak frowned as he heard that and looked toward the Whisper Forest. “He spoke with his Genetic Coding and Assassination Specialization teachers while leaving Wave Viruses for his friends that would last precisely until graduation. That brat is very calculative, so the number of viruses is not coincidental.” Abin understood the meaning behind those words. It seemed that Cain did not plan to return before graduation. “Lord, could you not use your Ego Mark to track him and know his exact whereabouts?” If Cain were to hear Abin’s words, he would be shocked that something in him could allow someone to know his precise location. Although he would definitely not be happy about it, that mark already saved his life once. Zarak put the Ego Mark on Cain the first time they met, and it was the power that allowed him to appear out of nowhere and protect this one from the mighty Abyssal Demon. Zarak only sighed as he heard Abin’s recommendation. “My Ego Mark can only tell me Cain’s exact location when I am relatively close to him. Now, it can only tell me whether he is alive, which is the case.” “I see.” Abin nodded, and her understanding of the Ego Eternal Path of Power increased slightly. “Should I deploy our forces to look for the Young Lord?” Zarak considered it for a moment before shaking his head. “That brat is surely on an extremely dangerous mission. If he contacts us calling for help, inform me immediately. Until then, it is up to him to survive this ordeal.” Zarak considered Cain a true divine genius in the Ego Eternal Path of Power, but it was not the inborn active Ego Eternal Matrix that granted him that title. It was the cadet’s willpower and determination to face his problems head-on. That attitude could lead Cain to his death but could also grant him the destiny of a fenix, rising from danger stronger than ever. “I will enter secluded cultivation. Do not disturb me unless it concerns Cain or a Sector-Level threat.” Abin bowed and immediately left the room. Just as she left, a ferocious river manifested and began to clash against the walls. The wall that resisted the Astral Wave capable of leveling a city began to crack under the crash of that mighty river. — Of course, not everybody was worried about Cain’s disappearance, and some were thrilled with the idea that the young genius had bitten more than he could chew and ended up dead. Zamir and Lumir’s spirits had significantly risen after hearing the rumors that Cain might have perished, and they were not the only ones. Far away from the Collapsing Lightning Sector, a person much more important than the two scions also followed the news about Cain. A young man sat in a meditative stance in a large room made of volcanic rocks while rivers of burning flames landed on top of his body. He circulated those flames through his veins, improving his Astral Wave and physique. Things did not end there since those flames were incredibly painful, but that was a good thing since it helped him temper his willpower. That young man was not other than Magnus Hellblazer, the greatest genius the Hellblazer Family had seen in the last thousand years! Magnus’ eyes opened as a message arrived through his A.I. Chip. “My Lord, there has been no news of Cain Laurifer over the last couple of weeks. There is a high chance he could be dead.” Magus heard Marik’s voice, and a contemplative expression appeared on his face. “Proceed with our plans in the Collapsing Lightning Sector. Until we do not receive definitive information about his demise, we will carry on as if he was alive.” Magnus cut the communication the next second and focused on his training. He did not need to hear Marik’s response since he knew this one would follow his commands.
