[Vessel's strength: 14.5]
Cain clenched his fist as he saw that number since it was simply overwhelming strength for a Wave Warrior. It was a strength that matched that of some Wave Champion that evolved after Flawless Marrow.
With his current strength, Cain was sure he could take Late Wave Champion head-on without the need to use assassination skills.
'I have grown much more powerful over these last few weeks. Now that I have [Gluttony Module] and the improvement of my body done by Sun Seed and then Avernus Lineage, I am much more confident in handling anything that could happen in Blood Sea. It is time to look at Silver Wave Artifacts.'
Cain's current energy pool was high enough for him to drive Wave Artifacts meant for Wave Champions, so he used the military interface to lose for one. It did not take long before a black set of armor caught his attention.
"Berserker Armor."
That was the name of the armor set that caught Cain's attention and consisted of a chest plate, gauntlets, and boots. It did not have special abilities, and it only focused on protection.
Cain had no problem with the artifacts not providing skills since he no longer had any need for them since his repertory of spells and techniques covered all of his necessities.
The entire set was worth 300.000 military credits, expensive even for Wave Champions, but Cain did not hesitate to buy it as it would be of great help and would not need new armor until his Astral Wave could drive Gold Wave Artifacts.
After all his training and experiments, there was only one week left for his journey to the Blood Sea, and Cain was trying to figure out the best way to use that time.
Standard cultivation would not do much, but then an idea came to his mind. There was something in his space ring that had a massive amount of vitality and energy and could devour with the help of his [Gluttony Module].
Cain waved his hand, and the corpse of Alexander Martel appeared in front of him. He had devoured all the blood in the body, but there was still a lot of energy left in his skeleton, tissues, and Sacred Organ that he could drain through the use of the [Earth Fiend Flame].
The ethical and moral dilemma of using the bodies of his own kind as a source of nutrients was something Cain overcame a long time ago. He would never do it with a friend but had no reservations about devouring an old bastard that attempted to kill him.
Cain covered the body of Alexander Martel with his Ego Wave, and once the red force field completely encompassed this one, he was able to send it into the [Devourer Dimension].
Once Alexander Martel's corpse reached the [Devourer Dimension], the [Earth Fiend Flame] immediately set it ablaze. Still, unlike Wave Artifacts and the corpses of Wave Champion Beast, it did not immediately start generating streams of energy and vitality.
There was a massive improvement in his hemostasis and the regulation of his various bodily functions, along with enhanced control over his hunger, thirst, sleep, sexual behavior, and emotions.
Finally, the end of the fifth day arrived, and the energy and vitality that emerged from the [Devourer Dimension] into Cain's body diminished considerably.
The 500% increase in the power of the [Earth Fiend Flame] was over, and Cain would not spend more Destiny Force in it since there was very little left, and he wanted to save it for an emergency.
The [Earth Fiend Flame] continued consuming Alexander's corpse, and with its current speed, it would do it for the next one and a half weeks, when nothing would be left.
Cain could feel that his meridians had already wrapped around 90% of his brain, and he was close to evolving into Level 9.
'I doubt that the Ascendance of the Blood Moon will immediately start after I appear, so there is still time. I must be at the peak of Level 9 by then to use the lucky chance in that event if I want to achieve Void Marrow.'
Being so tired that he could barely open his eyes by the time the envoy of Blood Sea arrived, it would not be good, so Cain went to sleep.
Cain woke up the next day and spent this time creating new Wave Viruses that could help him improve his Wave Talent and survival skill. On the seventh day, as he was still working, he heard a knock on his door before this one opened on its own.
Two people crossed the door, and one of them was someone Cain already knew.
"Good day, Major Laurifer. I see you really do work non-stop."
Luther smiled at Cain as he guided a three-meter-tall bald man with white skin covered with black armor into the room.
Cain nodded to Luther, but his eyes could not leave the pale giant next to this one. It was not the man's imposing body that disturbed him but the feeling of immense danger this one generated in him.
He felt no different than a mortal in front of a raging bear, knowing there was no way to survive if this one decided to attack.
Luther saw the severity in Cain's eyes and nodded since that was the perfect response in front of the man by his side. Even he had a hard time keeping calm.
"The gentleman by my side is Bloodless #1. He will bring you to Blood Sea."
