"I made it." Shock appeared in the eyes of Shura and the Blood Champions when they heard that. Cain had already demonstrated a superb talent in Astral Rebirth Path of Power along with a divine Wave Talent. And now they learned he was also a Genetic Coder capable of creating 3-Star Wave Viruses!? "That is impossible!" One of the Blood Champions could not help but shout after hearing Cain's words. He was a tall young man with short blue hair, green eyes, and a small scar on the side of his neck. The name of the Blood Champion was Radin. He was nineteen years old and was also a Genetic Coder, but unlike Cain's, his abilities only granted him the title of 1-Star Grand Genetic Coder. It was very impressive for someone so young as Radin to be a Grand Genetic Coder, and it was an achievement that took all his effort and energy, so he could not believe that someone like Cain was already a 3-Star Grand Genetic Coder. Cain glanced at Radin but did not offer any explanation to the man and simply focused on Shura. The intent in his eyes was clear; if the woman did not want the capsule, she could return it. Shura stared at Cain for a moment before deactivating her Wave Artifact and injecting the capsule into her neck. "My Lady!" Surin was surprised by Shura's actions, and he was unable to stop her. He only could wait with worry as her body trembled for a moment before a shining glow emerged on her skin, and her breath became sparkling. Shura felt that the Ice Crown's freezing air was no longer a problem since her body could endure the cold, and her lungs did a much better job keeping the oxygen in while releasing the carbon dioxide. "My Lady, do you trust that man so much?" Surin asked Shura, trying to understand the motive behind her actions, and that was a question that aroused the interest of all the Blood Champions. Cain was also slightly surprised by her decisiveness, so he wanted to hear what she said. Shura stared at Cain before softly shaking her head. "I do not trust him, but I trust the Blood Duke's judgment. He would not have put someone in my team that would purposely harm me." The Blood Champion seemed to relax when they heard that as if they were happy that it was not Cain who she was getting closer to. Surin, Sebastian, Roric, and Martin did not simply superimpose their force field one over the other. Instead, they displayed superb teamwork by spreading their Ego Waves in different directions. The force field spread in the four cardinal directions, generating a domain that could detect any threat in a radius of 850 meters around Shura. After Surin, Sebastian, Roric, and Martin finished with the force field, the other five Blood Champions positioned themselves as an outer layer of protection. Anyone that saw the movements of the nine Blood Champions would understand that it was a battle formation they trained for a long time and had mastered with great effort. The only one that was outside of the battle formation was Cain. He had joined them by order of the Blood Duke in the last month and never met before leaving Blood Sea, and they could not simply add him to the formation. Just as Surin was about to command Cain, he saw the eyes of the young man glow with red light before a force field resembling a blood tsunami emerged from the brain of this one. Cain unleashed his Ego Wave, generating a red force field that extended four thousand meters forward, spreading in all directions. It encompassed the combined force fields of Surin and the others, extending for a much larger area. That massive red force field did not remain for long since the next second, it became invisible, and its aura vanished, making it extremely hard for any Wave Beast to detect it. Surin and the rest of the Blood Champions were shocked by the massive force field that emerged from Cain's mind, and it was clear that the Ego Wave of the young man was greater than any of them. "Inborn Ego Eternal Matrix." Surin was able to figure out the key behind that Ego Wave immediately since the mightiest genius of the Purist Path was also someone born with it. Enlightenment appeared in the Blood Champions, and they could not help but frown as they saw all Cain's gifts. It would not be a problem if the young man's attitude weren't so aggravating. And if the Blood Champions did not like him already, their feelings grew even worse when they heard him speak. "I will take the scout role, trying to carve out less conflict toward the geysers and warn you about the dangers. However, I will not fight." Some of the Blood Champions grew furious when they heard Cain's words. They could not believe he was so shameless as to declare he would not participate in the fighting. Yet, before they could say a word, Surin stopped them. Surin stared at Cain and nodded before deactivating his force field and indicating Sebastian, Roric, and Martin to do the same. There was no point in keeping their Free Ego active if Cain's could cover a much greater terrain than theirs. He then signaled the group to move forward, keeping their defensive formation around Shura. Cain calmly walked behind the group, but a flash of coldness appeared in his eyes for a second as he had detected assassins just as they entered the Ice Crown.
