Chapter 230 Merciless (I) Josef's eyes were full of disbelief as his mind failed to process when the machete separated his head from the rest of his body. Cain grabbed the head mid-air and used his machete to pierce the corpse, using the Blood Refinement Art to devour the blood inside as he stared at Amos and the other students. "None of you will be leaving." A red force field full of killing intent rushed toward the students and covered them. Since the other party attacked them and attempted to take their life, there was no reason why he would let them escape. Although Cain's brutality and slaughter intent surprised the soldiers, since things escalated to this point, with Joseft already dead, it was better to go all the way. Amos' clenched his teeth when he saw that, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes when he saw how the rest of the students behaved. If they were ready to fight with their life on the line, they would have a chance, but Josef's horrific death already broke their fighting spirit. There was no way Amos would fight to the death, and he was ready to escape, leaving the rest of the students that saw him as a leader to their luck. However, before Amos or Cain could make a move, a voice emerged from the trees. Nôv(el)B\\jnn "Such merciless and killing intent. You really do honor your military code name, Saint of Killers. However, I can not let you kill so many promising stars from the empire." A man emerged from the trees and was not alone since a young woman was beside him. Cain's face did not change because he had already perceived that man's presence thanks to his [Basic Scan Force Field]. The one who spoke was no other than Dominic, and he was not alone since Cinthy was by his side. The power dynamic changed once again. Cinthy's power was so little no one bothered with her, but Dominic's aura was powerful and sharp, not to mention that the young man's mastery over the sword should be the greatest of everybody present. Cain focused on the sword in Dominic's right hand, and it was a bastard sword, very similar to the one the scion used in the real world. His mastery over the machete was good, but he was not so arrogant as to think he could surpass the swordplay of someone that dedicated his life to it. Only after thoroughly analyzing Dominic did Cain's eyes turn toward the young woman, and he could see fear in her eyes. The fact she was here was already strange since she was a Level 3 Wave Warrior and not a very talented one. Dominic showed a small smile as he saw Cain focus on Cinthy, and then he put his hand over the woman's shoulder, making her tremble. The reaction of the student was different, with many of them sneering. Some even began to whisper, wondering how they were so afraid of a man with such a weak mentality. The soldiers did not dare to show such contempt, but it was clear they were not fond of that sort of behavior in a leader. Still, since it did not cost them anything, none would interfere with Cain's saving Cinthy. However, things would never be so easy with Dominic taking the lead. "I don't intend to fight since that would not be counterproductive, but just handing her over because you say so doesn't seem fine. You took the life of a valuable member of our group, so you must pay for it. Hand over all your red orbs and return Josef's space ring." Cain's eyes grew colder, and its red light shone with a ferocious might, indicating just how much rage was in his heart right now. Still, he deposited his red orbs in Josef's space ring and walked forward. "Don't move!" Dominic did not allow Cain to take more than a single step before shouting, raising his sword. He would not let such a powerful Astral Cultivator get in striking distance. Cain's eyes narrowed, but he did not challenge Dominic's words. "What you propose?" "There is a distance of two hundred meters between us. Leave your sword fifty meters ahead, and then I will release Cinthy. You will throw the space ring to me when she reaches the sword. If you don't do it, I will send a barrage of wind blades forward, killing her." Cain stared at Dominic for a moment and did not accept immediately, but once the scion began to tighten the grip on Cinthy's shoulder, he sighed before nodding. Antony and the rest of the soldiers frowned when they saw that. Letting go of his sword would leave Cain vulnerable, jeopardizing all their lives. Unfortunately for the soldiers, it did not seem that Cain could see the dangers, and he lunged his machete, making it land fifty meters ahead. Immediately, his face grew pale, and it seemed there was little to no strength left in his body. Dominic focused on Cain for a few seconds before finally letting go of Cinthy. The moment she was free, the young woman immediately walked forward, and the only reason she did not run seemed to be her fear of Dominic. Once Cinthy reached the machete buried in the ground, Cain used what little strength was in his body to throw the space ring toward Dominic. Cinthy began to walk faster and faster past that point, and in the last ten meters, she almost jumped toward Cain, landing on the chest of this one. The instant Cinthy reached Cain's embrace a poisonous greed replaced the fear in her eyes and a small sword in the form of a dagger emerged from her sleeve. Blood painted the ground the next second.
