Chapter 229 Turning the tables
Cain did not wait for a second or explain his ruthless behavior to the duo as he stored the space rings of Carl and Jortar before picking Orin and putting the women on his back.
"Where?"
Orin was a little taken aback by the sudden bloodshed. Still, as someone who took the Assassination Military Specialization, she could focus her mind in a second.
"Six o'clock. Nine thousand meters!"
Cain's Blood Lightning burst with power as he flashed in that direction. Antony did not remain behind, using his Light Armor to follow the duo.

"¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!"
Elemental explosions and shock waves echoed across the forest as nine young men with university marks fought against a group of six soldiers. Two long swords clashed repeatedly in the center of the battlefield, one bathed in explosive flames and the other in cold energy.
Amos and William fought with all they had, using every ounce of energy and strength in their bodies to finish the other. There was no need to hide the killing intent in their hearts since things had escalated beyond the point they could achieve a peaceful outcome.
Although the battle between Amos and William was the mightiest, the ones around them were just as spectacular, especially one of two young men fighting with golden and red fire.
Levi used all his power to face Josef, the second-strongest student from Hellblazer University. Neither could overcome the other, and just like Amos and William, their battle reached an impasse. The problem for the soldiers was that while they did not fall behind in terms of average individual power, the scions had the numerical advantage. The wounds on the soldiers keep growing, and it will only be a matter of time before they would crumble.
"Ahhh!"
William's eyes narrowed when he heard that scream and saw that one of the soldiers was losing a hand and pulling back to not lose his life as well. "Bastard! You will pay dearly for this crime once we leave the dimension!"
"What are you talking about? All of you perished under the hands of the Sword Monsters. That is what we saw and what everybody in the empire will believe."
Amos mocked William as he wielded his sword with more and more strength, unleashing powerful blasts of flames with each impact.
The young man from the Hellblazer Family knew very well what would happen if the Imperial Lightning Fort learned about his ambush of soldiers, which is why he would not leave anyone alive. "You should have handed over that boy. Maybe then you could have kept your life."
"Hmph, if I were to hand over my comrades just because some piece of shit says so, then I will be no better than the pigs of the Hellblazer Family."
"What happened with Jortar and Carl?"
Amos had sent the duo after Orin after wounding the girl, and they should have been more than powerful enough to handle her. Yet, Orin appeared with Cain, so the outcome of those two could not have been good.
"The same thing that will happen to you."
Cain's voice was cold as the Blood Lightning burst with power, and he calmly walked forward. "Hmph, you are underestimating me!"
Powerful flames covered Amos' body, burning the cold energy that froze the muscles on his right shoulder, allowing him to hold his sword with both hands.
"I estimate you just fine."
Cain's voice had not faded when he flashed toward Amos and began hacking with his machete.
Amos was able to follow those attacks with his eyes as he had regained a lot of his previous strength, but Cain's swordplay beastly surpassed him. That, plus the wounds on his body, pushed him into a defensive stance he could not escape.
The situation around the battlefield took a large turn since Antony's power helped the soldiers surpass the students by a slight margin.
Levi relaxed now that the rest of the soldiers were fine and could focus on Josef, slowly pushing back this one with his golden flames. Amos saw that, but there was nothing he could do. He could barely move as Cain kept him pinned into a specific part of the battlefield.
After a few minutes, wounds started to appear on the students as Antony's attacks were too fast and unpredictable for them, and even Josef was beginning to lose ground against Levi.
"Pull back!"
Amos issued that order, wanting to leave this battlefield before they suffered wounds that could diminish their battle power. He was ready to use all his power to push Cain away since he believed this one would cling to him, but things did not go that way.
As soon as Amos attempted to escape, Cain pulled back, leaving him alone. Confusion briefly filled the scion's mind, but then he understood Cain's goal.
"Look out!"
Josef heard Amos' voice, but he could not lose focus as Levi attacked with a nearly suicidal might once he attempted to move away, not allowing his mind to concentrate on anything else.
That was a grave mistake since Josef only perceived the machete cutting his neck when it was too late.
