218 Clash with the student force
Cain removed several Wave Champion Beast's hearts from his space ring before generating a mantle of Blood Lightning that devoured the blood in them and sent it into his body. His eyes grew sharp, and his Ego Wave burst with power as he focused all the Astral Wave and blood essence into his arm to improve the speed at which they healed.
Dozens of battles took place around Cain, with the soldiers battling over thirty Early Wave Champion Beasts and six that had already reached the Middle Wave Champion level.
The soldiers made sure to stay away from Cain to avoid interrupting his recovery, and none of the Wave Champion Beasts dared to get anywhere near him.
After five hours and having devoured the blood of nearly twenty Early Wave Champion Beasts' hearts, Cain's arms had fully healed, and most of his internal wounds were already gone.
Cain raised his arms and clenched them, smiling as he felt his strength. He then focused on the battlefield and released a small sigh.
The battle with the horde was a victory, and there were no casualties on their side, but all the Middle Wave Champion Beasts managed to escape, and most of the soldiers endured severe wounds that would force them to rest for several days.
It was clear to Cain that they were not ready to advance beyond this point. The battle with the Hell Ape pushed the trio to their limits, and they nearly lost their lives more than once. A clash with a horde with more than one Late Wave Champion Beast would carry significant casualties among the soldiers.
After cleaning the battlefield, Cain led the soldiers back to the encampment, where they were told to rest for the next two days. Cain reached his tent and shut down communications as he adopted a meditative stance and focused. His heart had no frustration since he knew they would face resistance like this, and it happened later than he expected.
Of course, that did not mean he would just accept it. Immediately, his mind began to search for ways to improve his power and that of the soldiers around him.
There was not much to do regarding battle formation or equipment since they already used the beast they could handle, so the answer had to emerge from within.
'My current skills can unleash the full power of my Astral Wave and Blood Energy. Blood Hand is an exceptionally powerful technique, and searching for a new Saint Technique would be foolish. The best path forward is either awakening my Visualization Technique or evolving my Asura Form.'
Asura Form was a skill of Cain's previous life, and just like one would expect from the name of First Gear, there was a second one. He had meditated extensively on the technique and used the Absolute Life Form System to decipher the next step forward.

The next month went by without incident, with Cain, Antony, Williman, and all the soldiers that fought by their side growing stronger. "¡BOOM!"
The sound of explosions and broken bones echoed as Cain and his group butchered a pack of Wave Champion Beasts. There were merely twenty-five of them, with a single Middle Wave Champion Beast leading them, so it was not hard for the soldiers to kill all of them in less than an hour.
Cain buried his hand in the Golden Winged Wolf's chest, devouring the creature's blood essence when his eyes narrowed as he looked to the left.
He was the first to see it, but it did not take long for the rest of the soldiers to notice the presence of a group made of forty-two students.
Dominic was the group's leader, and his eyes grew cold as he stared at Cain and the rest of the soldiers.
A tense atmosphere emerged the moment both groups looked at each other. Although there were fewer students, four of them had already become Wave Champions. Still, many Level 9 soldiers with powerful foundations and great battle experience could face them.
In the end, it was impossible to say which side would be the winner in a clash, but one thing was inevitable, and that was that there would be substantial casualties on both sides.
Cain removed his hand from the Middle Wave Champion Beast and sent the creature into his space ring as he stared at Dominic. A red light appeared in his eyes as he focused on the students and was ready to strike with killing intent if the other party showed any sign of violence.
Although Dominic had a powerful desire to crush Cain, he was smart enough not to pick battles he could not win. If he attacked and even one of the soldiers managed to escape alive, he would be charged with breaking the codes and rules of the Godslayer Humankind Empire.
"Let's go."
Dominic said nothing else before leaving with the rest of his forces.
The soldiers relaxed as they saw that and carried on recollecting the spoils of the battle. 'Everything is fine, but more and more clashes will happen as we remain in the area. I must ensure our forces are ready to handle any student's incursion.'
