"I WILL KILL YOU!" Cain's voice echoed across the fog, full of such a monstrous killing intent that it froze the blood of anyone that heard it. A pillar of reddish purple energy emerged from his body and rose into the sky as he made his Astral Wave, and Blood Energy burst with all their power. That wild explosion of energy did not last long since the next second, Cain compressed all of it to its limit around his body and machete. Then, he stomped the ground with so much strength that a cloud of dust covered his figure, and the only thing that emerged from it was a red force field that drove forward like an unstoppable tsunami. Dominic and Uriel could not help but tremble as Cain's Ego Wave surrounded them, as they could feel all the rage and anger on his enemy and the fact that he would not stop at anything to kill them both. Things grew more dire when the red force field became invisible, and neither could feel it anymore. The duo immediately got close to each other. There was no trust between the scions, but they knew that Cain was their enemy and needed to work together, or they would die. Uriel took the front, making his Astral Wave burst at full power, while Dominic rose to the sky with phantom wings. Their battle formation was the most common between Astral and Essence Cultivators, but something more complex would not work since they knew nothing about each other. The fact that two Early Wave Champions from Noble Families would not dare to make the first attack against a Level 8 Wave Warrior was ludicrous, but that precisely was what happened. Dominic and Uriel did not dare to enter the dust cloud since they feared Cain's assassination skills. However, nothing happened after ten seconds of waiting, confusing the duo. Suddenly, Dominic's eyes widened, and he waved his bastard sword, generating a powerful wind that dissipated the cloud of dust. "Dammit!" Dominic could not help but shout in anger when he saw that Cain had vanished. The cloud of dust and the Ego Wave that sowed fear into their hearts were just distractions, giving Cain time to escape. Uriel's face grew pale when he saw that Cain had left. He had killed William, and if anyone in the Imperial Lightning Fort found out, he was dead. The fog was too heavy, and Uriel had no way of following Cain's tracks, but Dominic was different. The young Essence Wave Champion put his bastard sword on his forehead, and the next second, a gale emerged from his body and expanded in all directions. There was not much power in that gale, but it expanded with an overwhelming speed, and Dominic would know everything that came into contact with it. "There!" Dominic pointed to the north, and the duo flashed at full speed. Uriel's body glowed with a golden light as he dashed forward like a madman. The only way he could keep his life after leaving this place would be to end Cain's. Dominic did not have Uriel's crazy zeal since nothing would happen to him even if Cain revealed his part in William's death. Still, he needed to kill Cain since this one grew too fast and would become a serious problem in the future. That proved a grave mistake since just as Uriel was above the dust cloud, Cain rose from this one and attacked with his machete. The attack took Uriel by surprise, and he attempted to parry with his golden sword, but the machete had so much power that it pushed his weapon away, leaving Cain a free path. Horror appeared in Uriel's eyes when he saw Cain preparing to hack with the machete again, but to his luck, he was not alone. Dominic fired two wind blades toward Cain's back, and the only way to avoid them would be to move away from Uriel immediately. Uriel smiled as he was sure that Cain would choose to dodge the wind blades, but a sense of utter doom assaulted his heart as he saw two red eyes focusing on his skull. "WAIT!" Cain ignored Uriel's plea for mercy and hacked with his machete, burying the weapon on top of the scion's head. Right after ending Uriel's life, he redirected as much of his Astral Wave as possible into his back to protect it from Dominic's attack. The wind blades landed on Cain's back, cutting through the layer of Blood Lightning, Astral Wave, and armor, severing the muscles and damaging the bones. Cain clenched his teeth as he endured the pain. He used Uriel's corpse as a platform, killing this one and driving his body toward the black castle. Dominic's eyes were full of fear when he saw Cain's removing the machete and pieces of Uriel's brain falling to the ground. That level of determination to kill the enemy, even if it meant suffering a severe wound, was something he did not have. 'I need to kill him!' Dominic knew there was already an irreconcilable enmity between him and Cain, so he had to end the life of this one right here, and now, or else there would be no other chance. The scion channeled his Essence Wave into his bastard sword to unleash his final blow, but a golden projectile forced him to interrupt its charge. He could easily push it away and saw it was Uriel's golden sword. That attack posed no threat to someone like Dominic but was able to delay his attack and give Cain a chance to get near the castle. "DIE!" Dominic roared as he waved his bastard sword down, using all the Essence Wave left in his body to fire a massive tornado composed of thousands of tiny wind blades. Cain could see the attack with his Ego Wave, and the side effects of Berserker State were kicking in, but none of that mattered as he crossed the gate into the castle. As soon as Cain entered the castle, the gate of this one shut down, stopping Dominic's attack from coming in.
