Cain was not lying, as it indeed would take too long to relay the information to the group. The time window was too small for Shura and the nine Blood Champions to move simultaneously. Actually, the one doing the analysis was not him but Apex. The System Spirit used the [A.I. Chip Module] to analyze all the meteorologic information before sharing it with Cain. Although the delay from one person to the other was just fractions of a second, it added up. Surin and the other Blood Champions saw how Cain managed to move less than half a second before the lightning pillar fell, so they were sure he was telling the truth. There was not much they could do, so they just prepared to march forward when they saw Shura exiting the formation. "My Lady?" Surin immediately grew worried when he saw Shura moving away from them. She was an Early Essence Wave Champion, and her body could not endure the power of the pillars of lightning falling from the sky. Before any of the Blood Champions could say another word, she raised her hand, signaling them to stop. "Now that I am not in it, you will no longer have to protect me, making it easier for you all to face the lightning." Surin and the rest of the Blood Champions were surprised when they heard that, and awkward expressions appeared on their faces. Although the goal of the formation was to divide the power of the lighting between all of them, the Blood Champions were actually overexerting themselves in order to enhance the defenses of Shura. Now that the formation only contained Surin and the other eight Blood Champions, all Late Wave Champions, it would be much easier to face the lightning pillars. The Blood Champions wanted to say something, but it was clear that Shura did not intend to hear them, and she just stood beside Cain. "Since I am alone, I should be able to act fast enough if I follow your instructions." Cain stared at Shura for a moment and saw the determination in the young woman's eyes. "We will advance together. Follow my instructions without hesitation, or else I can not guarantee you can reach the peak." Shura nodded and then felt how Cain established a telepathic link with her before both flashed forward at supersonic speed. Surin and the rest of the Blood Champions were not happy about leaving the safety of Shura in Cain's hands, but there was nothing they could do other than move forward. Now that they did not have to worry about Shura, the group could advance much faster, and those lightning pillars with the might of a Wave King's spells could not do much damage to their bodies. "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" Cain and Shura advanced to the peak of Skyfall Mountain. They moved in highly irregular patterns with all kinds of turns, but it helped them evade all the lightning pillars that fell from the heavens. It did not take long for Cain, Shura, and the Blood Champions to see the mountain's peak, thanks to their improved speed. In it, they saw a sky-blue lightning force field. Silence reigned in Skyfall Mountain as Shura and the Blood Champion were astonished by what they just saw. A young Wave Warrior managed to split apart a pillar of lightning with power above the Wave Champion Rank! Cain did not say a word before raising Shura from the ground, putting her on his back, and flashing at full speed toward the sky-blue lightning domain on the mountain's peak. Shura's heart was still filled with shock, which is why she was not able to react to Cain's actions. Although staying on the young man's back was undoubtedly faster, she was not comfortable with that type of intimacy, which is why she had not proposed it before. She did not like it, but after Shura saw Cain's bloody and scorched arm, she chose to remain silent. Surin and the rest of the Blood Champions frowned when they saw how close Cain was with Shura, but they were not in a position to speak and simply moved forward, not leaving the duo behind. Cain advanced so fast that it took him and Shura less than a minute to enter the sky-blue lightning domain, putting them away from danger. Shura was about to tell Cain to let go of her when this one fell to the ground, bringing her with him. A cold light appeared in her eyes as she immediately moved away from Cain. One thing was her staying on Cain's back as they rose to the mountain's peak, but laying together on the ground was something completely different. However, just as Shura was about to unleash her rage, she noticed Cain's eyes were out of focus. 'He felt unconscious!' The Blood Champions reached the sky-blue lightning domain a few seconds after the duo, and they immediately noticed Cain's state. It became clear for Shura and the Blood Champions that whatever Cain did to enhance his Astral Wave in such an outlandish way had some drawbacks. "Martin." Shura called one of the Blood Champions, who immediately approached Cain before putting a hand over the young man's chest. Martin's hand began to glow as a red fog extended over Cain's body. A flash of surprise appeared on his face as he turned toward Shura. "My Lady, there are severe internal wounds left by the clash with the lightning pillar, but a golden flame inside his body is already healing the damage. That, plus the effect of the Life Force Lighting Domain, should be enough to help him completely recover in a few days." Shura nodded toward Martin, and she stared at Cain for a moment before adopting a meditative position next to him. Strange expressions appeared on the Blood Champions when they saw that, but none said anything and just focused on recovering from their injuries.
