Sebastian stared at Olivion and could see the determination in the eyes of the Collapsing Lightning Pillar. Although killing Cain would solve many future problems for the Martel Family, he was not willing to bet his life on it. "Hmph." The old man only sneered toward Olivion before turning toward Cain. "Brat, let go of Dominic, now!" He did not use his willpower to force Cain since that would be useless, so he just shouted those orders. The killing intent in his eyes made it clear what would happen if Cain refused. Cain stared at Sebastian with rage before turning toward Zarak. "He killed one of my friends inside the dimension." Zarak's eyes grew cold, and killing intent appeared in them, but as he stared at Sabastian, Alexander, and the rest of the powerhouses that came from Noble Families, he could not help but sight. "There are a unique set of rules implemented by the empire when it comes to inheritances, so we can not use his actions to charge him with a crime. I understand the desire in your heart, but it is impossible to bring him with us without triggering a battle in which we could not keep you safe." Cain's heart was full of killing intent, and the red light in his eyes grew stronger, but he understood the harsh truth. He was too weak to fulfill the desire in his heart and had to let Dominic go. In the end, it was all about power. It did not matter whether Dominic broke or not the rules of the empire. What mattered was that Cain lacked the strength to face the powerhouses of the Martel Family. "Ahhh." Cain sighed, and the red light weakened as he was about to let go of Dominic's neck when he his eyes widened. Shock appeared on his face as he looked from one direction to the other. Sebastian, Olivion, Alexander, and Zarak were confused by Cain's behavior. It seemed he was looking for someone, but no one was around him. The shock and confusion on Cain's face did not last for long, and soon a cold smile appeared as he turned toward Dominic. "Goodbye." Absolute terror appeared on Dominic's face as he saw Cain's hand turned into a blood gem before falling on his head with monstrous power. "¡Boom!" Dominic's head could not resist Cain's punch and exploded like a balloon full of blood. Silence reigned as people found it hard to believe what they just saw. Cain killed Dominic by blowing this one head under the gaze of two powerhouses of the Martel Family! "¡Bastard!" Alexander could do nothing as the Titan's index finger touched his forehead. That was the last thing he saw before the back of his head exploded, throwing pieces of his brain in all directions. Silence reigned after the powerhouses in the sky saw Alexander's horrific death, but the man was not over. After killing Alexander, he vanished from Cain's side, only to appear right in front of Sebastian the next instant. Sebastian's eyes widened as he saw the man's entire arm transform into a red gem, driving toward him with the power to pulverize mountains. His instincts kicked in, allowing him to cover his body with his wings before channeling all his Astral Wave in them. "¡BOOOOOOM!" A shock wave that made the sky tremble occurred when the Titan's fists clashed with Sebastian's wings, sending this one flying away for over twenty thousand kilometers before crashing against the ground, forming a massive crater. The destructive power in that fist did not fall behind a small atomic bomb of the Old World, which is why it was so surprising to see Sebastian rising from the crater and flashing away at a speed that surpassed Mach 10. A flash of surprise appeared in Titan's eyes when he saw Sebastian flying away. "Impressive. I intended to end his life with that attack. The Dark Roc Lineage is stronger than I thought." The Titan could have chosen after Sebastian and would have caught this one after a few minutes, but he just shook his head. It was not worth the trouble. He then looked around at the rest of the powerhouses, and they all lowered their heads when they saw his eyes. The only ones that dared to look back were Olivion and Zarak. "Not bad. At least you dare to face the apex, unlike others that only look up to it." The meaning of those words was clear to everybody, making the expression of the powerhouses that looked away turn sour, but the Titan was just talking out loud and did not care about them. The only one that really mattered to the Titan was the young man on the ground, looking at him with eyes full of willpower and determination. "Brat, remember our talk. Someone will come to pick you up in a month. Make sure all your affairs are in order by that time." That was all the Titan said before taking a step forward and vanishing. Cain clenched his fists as he could not stop his heart from beating with more and more strength due to the excitement. That was the power to force your will on the world, ignore the consequences, and just do what you desire. That man did not care about the rules and codes of the empire or the retribution of the Martel Family; he just went ahead and killed Alexander before trying to do the same with Sebastian. 'That power. I want it!' The red light in Cain's eyes grew more and more powerful as the desire for strength in his heart evolved to a whole new level.
