Cain saw a small hole the size of a grain of rice on his shoulder. His mind had reached such a high level of concentration that he could figure out what happened instantly. The Sword Avatar did not unleash a sonic scream. Instead, he packed a crazy amount of air into his lungs and used sonic waves to compress it before releasing it like a projectile capable of traveling at supersonic speed. It was not just one since a barrage of those projectiles emerged from the Sword Avatar's mouth and flashed toward Cain at a speed that was nearly impossible to dodge. Anyone else would have pulled back, but Cain just clenched his teeth and flashed forward, using Virtual Sight to predict the path of the projectiles. Even with that, it would be impossible to dodge them at such a close distance, but he could make sure they landed on parts of his body that would not affect his battle power. The Sword Avatar shot those projectiles faster but could not stop Cain from appearing right in front of it. Cain activated Blood Hand in his right hand. He struck directly toward the Sword Avatar's solar plexus, generating a momentary contraction of the diagrams and removing all the air from his enemy's lungs. Right after that, Cain sent a left hook toward the Sword Avatar's head, blasting this one into the ground and immediately following with a kick that sent it back into the room's walls. The Sword Avatar's bones cracked under the immense power of Cain's attack, but it was not defenseless. Just as Cain sent an ax kick toward its neck, it made its entire body spin, dodging the attack. Next, the Sword Avatar generated a shock wave from the sole of its feet, pushing him away from Cain before rising into the air. Cain's eyes narrowed as the Sword Avatar moved across the ceiling at supersonic speed, but this time he was able to keep up with this one. The Sword Avatar appeared on Cain's left and sent a kick to the back of this one's head, but the human bent his knees right at the last moment. Cain saw the kick pass above his head before rising and using his body's momentum to send an uppercut toward the Sword Avatar. The Sword Avatar used both arms to block the uppercut, but the blow still sent it flying away. Cain's eyes narrowed as he saw shock waves emerge from the Sword Avatar's feet at the last second. The entity jumped back to diminish some of the strength in his punch. 'It is adapting.' That was Cain's only explanation for such a fantastic display of martial skill. Still, he did not waste time and flashed toward the enemy. Two red figures flashed across the room, moving at supersonic speed and unleashing blows that surpassed Mach 4. The intensity of this battle was one people could only expect from Late Wave Champions. The idea that two Wave Warriors that had yet to reach the peak of that rank could create a battle like that was preposterous, yet, it was happening right now. Cain and the Sword Avatar clashed over one thousand times when the latter rose to the air and generated a new rain of supersonic air projectiles. This time they were smaller and weaker but also faster, forcing Cain to block with his arms. His eyes widened as he felt the Sword Avatar appear behind him and understood the projectiles were a simple distraction. Cain turned around and attempted to move away, but it was too late, and the Sword Avatar's hands were already on his chest. The Sword Avatar's indexes and middle fingers were touching, forming the figure of a diamond. "¡BIIIIIII!" The Sword Avatar felt its rib cage shattering, but it endured the pain as his hands formed that diamond shape again. Cain did not hesitate before moving away, but one of the clones was there, and to his shock, it exploded and released a blast of shock waves. Those shock waves pushed Cain back to the Sword Avatar. There was no way to avoid that sonic cannon now, so Cain could only raise his arms and concentrate all his Astral Wave and Blood Energy in the front, forming a bloody shield. "¡Biiiii!" The sonic cannon was weaker this time due to the Sword Avatar's exhaustion, but it was still strong enough to push Cain's body dozens of meters while he puked blood. Cain felt his lungs no longer working, and his heartbeat was about to slow down. If that were to happen, he would not be able to trigger Asura Form again. 'Five seconds!' Cain knew he would not last more; if the battle did not end by then, he would die. A last burst of red light appeared in his eyes as he flashed forward. The Sword Avatar did not simply wait after sending Cain back. It had inhaled a massive amount of air and received the incoming threats with a rain of projectiles. Cain made the muscles on his back and arms bulge. He used them as a shield against the projectiles and stood before the Sword Avatar in less than a second. However, just as Cain sent a devastating punch, the Sword Avatar opened its mouth so much that its jaw was almost dislocated, only to release a massive air boom to Cain's fist. "¡BOOM!" A total sense of shock appeared on Cain's face as the air boom burst his right hand off, but that did not stop him. He used his bloody wrist to strike the Sword Avatar's head and sent it crashing into the walls! That attack surprised the Sword Avatar since the idea that someone could carry on with their attack like that was impossible for it. "¡FHHHHH!" Before the Sword Avatar could recover, it heard a weird sound similar to that of an Old World jet and then saw Cain's body moving from one side to the other. Cain pushed his body to the breaking point as he unleashed his last attack on the Sword Avatar. "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" Hooks from the right and left landed on the Sword Avatar's head, all carrying every ounce of Cain's strength and enhanced by his torque and speed. "¡BOOOOMMMM!" As Cain was about to lose consciousness, he poured all he had into the last blow and shattered the Sword Avatar's head!
