"¡Nooooo!" Dominic shouted with rage as he could not accept that Cain had managed to escape alive after killing Uriel. If he was able to do something like that while being a Level 8 Wave Warrior, what would happen when this one became a Wave Champion? His strongest attack was unable to make even a dent in the black castle, and trying to force his way in would be a total waste of time. "Dammit!" Rage and resentment flowed through Dominic's heart as he hacked to the ground with blind fury. It took a long time for him to calm his heart, and only then did he focus on the crystal on his forehead and head to his castle. --- Cain lost consciousness shortly after crossing the gate. The wounds on his body and the drain on his Astral Wave and Blood Energy were extreme, and it took him three days to finally wake up. Even then, he could not stand up and had to crawl into a wall to adopt a sitting position. He looked at his surroundings and realized that the interior of that massive castle was a vast white room. The only thing inside it was his machete, which had vanished from his grip and now floated in the center of the place. Just like in every other stage of this dimension, Cain figured out the next step by perceiving the intent sent into his soul. He needed to touch the machete to start the final stage of the inheritance. What would happen there was impossible to know, but if he succeeded, it would mark the end of the trials. Cain was very lucky that this trial would only start when he was ready, allowing him to heal from the many wounds on his body and the side effects of Berserker State. The first thing he did was take a lot of medical drugs from his space ring and the ones he stole from Josef and Uriel. That stabilized his condition after a few hours, and then he took a bunch of Wave Champion Beasts' hearts and wave crystals. A stream of vitality and Astral Wave coursed through Cain's body over and over again. Slowly, the state of his flesh, blood, and meridians improved, becoming even stronger than before. When talented cultivators are pushed to exhaustion, they can exert even greater power than their previous limit, and once they heal, they rise even stronger. It was similar to a water well, capable of holding more liquid when excavated beyond its limit. Four days and more resources than a standard Level 9 Wave Warrior needed to cross into Wave Champion, but Cain managed to recover from everything, and the strength of his body and mind was never better. Cain rose from the ground and checked his body before focusing on the machete. He needed to touch it to start the final trial of this inheritance. Improving his cultivation would be useless since he was sure that would only make the future enemy even more potent, so instead of wasting time, Cain walked forward with eyes full of red light. If Cain had not reinforced both arms with Astral Wave and Blood Lightning in the last second, the attack would have fractured his arms, essentially ending the battle. "¡Boom!" Another sonic boom echoed across the room as the Sword Avatar flashed toward Cain, but just as it was ready to send one of those devastating punches, a powerful heartbeat appeared. "Thump!" Cain activated Asura Form as he was able to react to the supersonic movements of the Sword Avatar, dodging the right punch aimed at his head and responding with a counter that used the full torque of his body. 'Even if you possess some incredible technique, you are just a soulless entity without authentic battle experience.' Those were Cain's thoughts as his punch, in which he charged a massive amount of Astral Wave, was about to land on the Sword Avatar's head. However, once again, the Sword Avatar proved its might as it quickly bent its outstretched arm at the elbow, throwing Cain's counter off-angle. Cain's eyes widened as he saw that skill level, but his instincts kicked right away, sending a left hook, a move the Sword Avatar mimicked perfectly. One punch carried a massive amount of Astral Wave and Blood Lightning, while the other generated a shock wave. Cain and the Sword Avatar suffered during the clash. Still, the human endured more damage since the Astral Wave surrounding the entity vibrated in such a way that it acted like a cushion, diminishing the kinetic force of any attack that came in contact with it. Cain's eyes almost lost focus due to the blow to the face, but he regained control very fast, thanks to his Ego Wave, and moved away from the Sword Avatar. His eyes were sharp as he stared at the enemy, and he understood something. 'All that time I used it, the machete was not only getting stronger but was also learning from me. My battle skills and martial technique are under its domain.' Facing an opponent with the same physical and energy stats, whose martial skills were as good as yours, but who could display more powerful technique than yours? That was a really dangerous trial, and unlike the others, there was no way out of the castle, and things would only end when one of the two perished. The only silver lining in all of this was that the Sword Avatar had weaker mental fortitude than Cain since it lacked an Ego Wave, and even though its vibrating Astral Wave diminished a lot of the damage in the last blow, it still numbed the entity's body. Cain did not lose his chance and flashed forward, sending an uppercut to the Sword Avatar, but this one reacted at the last second, putting both arms above its jaw. That blow sent the Sword Avatar into the roof, but just as Cain intended to follow after this one, it kicked the air, allowing its body to deploy what seemed to be Air Walk.
