Chapter 291 : All eyes in the battle

"Ninth battle is over. Cain Laurifer is the winner." The mechanical referee shouted those words, and a second later, the last of the Blood Champions of the Purist Path flashed toward the platform. Zima seemed eager to fight immediately, which made perfect sense. While the other Blood Champion did not hurt Cain, the fight did drain a significant portion of his energy pool and stamina. The High Blood Elder and Blood Duke exchanged glances as they saw Cain and Zima on the platform. Although the Integrationist Path won nine battles, they only had one fighter, so the Purist Path only needed a single victory. Of course, everybody would mock them, and the stance of the Purist Path would certainly grow weaker, but they would still be the ones that would carry on with the final and most important part of the Century Ascendance of the Blood Moon. There was nothing the Blood Duke could do about the unfairness of this situation. The rules that allowed Cain to kill Jeremy without repercussions also forced him to win all ten fights. Powerhouses of the Purist Path and Integrationist Path were not the only ones analyzing the battle between Cain and Zima. Blood Sea was an extremely important power in the Collapsing Lightning Sector, so factions across the empire were using different methods to watch the fight. In the Titan Tower of the Imperial Lightning Fort, a room with a large mirror showed Cain and Zima. There were six people; five were Collapsing Lightning Pillars, and the last was Luther. Of course, among the Pillars was Zarak, and there was a flash of disdain in his eyes. "Hmph! They really know no shame. Despite forcing Cain to fight ten consecutive battles, they do not give him any time to rest." Stay tuned to empire "There is no reason for the mighty people of the Blood Sea to give leeway to an outsider." Luther spoke those words before showing a mocking smile. "I am sure those cowards justify their actions with those words. I am surprised that the Blood Duke is not interfering on Cain's behalf and allowing things to carry on." Zarak's eyes narrowed as he heard that last part. He was also confused by the actions of the Blood Duke. His suspicion began when he saw that this one had not shown up to rescue Cain and Surin. As a Titan, the Blood Duke should be much faster than he and Bloodless #1, yet this one never appeared. "Many have forgotten, but the reason the Blood Duke was able to rise to his current position was not his brute power but his schemes. I am sure that man is planning something, and he clearly doesn't care about the safety of Cain." Olivion, the Second Collapsing Lightning Pillar, spoke calmly, but there was a flash of killing intent in his eyes. The Collapsing Lightning Pillars present began to look at each other, and there was a murderous light in their eyes. Cain Laurifer was a divine prodigy that saw the Imperial Lightning Force as his home and the army as his family, so it was only a matter of time before he became one of the Pillars. Although they might have differences and sometimes fight with each other, when it came to external threats and dangers, the Collapsing Lightning Pillars could act as a single unified force. Luther saw the aura in the room and knew he needed to intervene. If the Nine Pillars were to march together, then they could unleash a massacre on the Blood Sea. "Young Lord, by order of the Hellblazer Duke, I bring you the Divine Fire Lotus as a reward for rising to Blood Champion with Void Marrow." The Wave King kneeled before taking a small red chest and presenting it to Magnus. His eyes showed a flash of greed since he knew that the Divine Fire Lotus was an incredible treasure, even for a Wave King. Still, he immediately erased that emotion since he was aware of what had happened with the enemies of the young man. Magnus smiled as he stored the small red chest and waved his hand, signaling the Wave King to leave since he did not want company while looking at Cain's fight. The Wave King stood up but did not immediately leave since he had another task. "His Highness is asking whether or not you will attend your brother's funeral?" "¡Hahahahaha!" Magnus burst into laughter as he heard that question before shaking his head. "Don't you think it would be in bad taste if the murderer attended the funeral?" The Wave King trembled when he heard that. It was a surprise since everybody knew what happened but could not believe that Magnus would just say it out loud. There were only two reasons someone would confess such a crime. They were stupid and did not understand the risk or know that nothing would happen to them. Either way, the Wave Kings erased those words from his mind since he could not survive the schemes and tribulations of the fight for power among the young generation of the Hellblazer Family. "I will tell His Highness you can not attend due to your cultivation, Young Lord." Magnus shrugged his shoulder and signaled the man to leave, which he did immediately. --- It was just a battle between Wave Champion, but even Titans were focusing on it, and whatever they expected to see, it would be even more impressive. "Zima Extier. Are you ready?" "Yes, I am." "Cain Laurifer. Are you ready?" "Yes, I am." "Fight!"
