Red lightning covered Zima's body as his skin adopted a crimson metallic color beneath his white armor, and his hands morphed into blood gem claws. Cain's skin also turned red due to activating Second Gear as an armor of the same color covered his body. His hands became blood gem claws, and his Wave Cloak began to vibrate due to the power of Sonic Armor, increasing his defenses. "¡BOOM!" Their right fists collided in the middle of the battle arena, a sonic boom emerging from Cain's punch while a lightning blast arose in Zima's. There was no need for weapons. For warriors that trained Blood Hand, their punches were the most destructive artifacts of all, having the ability to twist Silver Artifacts with their bare hands. Coldness appeared in the duo's eyes as they saw that neither could overcome the other, and as they retracted their fists, they adopted a similar battle stance, raising their arms and spreading their legs. "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" Cain and Zima both used Bloodflow Fury, exchanging punches and kicks in the middle of the battle arena, trying to push the other away. Zima's domain over the Bloodflow Fury was surprisingly high as if he had trained it for decades. That, plus his superb speed, allowed him to have the upper hand in terms of battle skill. However, while Cain's mastery over Bloodflow Fury was lower, he seemed capable of predicting the Zima's moves, reacting just in time to dodge or block the blows. And while he could not surpass his opponent's speed, the strength of his punches and kicks was unmatched due to the torque of his body. Cain had to admit that he fell behind Zima when it came to battle skills. Luckily, he had Virtual Sight, and the [A.I. Chip Module] already deeply comprehended Zima's body and Bloodflow Fury, so the predictions were very precise. Zima sent a vicious kick toward Cain's head, but this one was able to block it with his right arm before responding with his left elbow. Cain's elbow could break a hole into a thick steel plate like glass, but Zima managed to protect his chest using his right arm. Every time one sent an attack, the other would either dodge or block it before sending their own. There was sublime precision and control over their body movements, as expected from warriors that train their bodies to reach the peak. Zima's eyes narrowed as he saw that Cain was able to keep up with his skills, but soon he began to smile as he activated 4000% Wave Burst! The Astral Wave exploded with power, enhancing the Wave Cloak, which in turn improved every aspect of Zima's body. His speed, strength, and defenses rose exponentially. Usually, even great geniuses would have a problem performing 1000% Wave Burst, but someone with such powerful willpower as Zima could generate a much greater energy output. Cain immediately felt pressured as Zima's blows became faster and stronger, and he could only answer in the same way, also raising his Wave Burst to 4000% The strength the duo's body began to unleash reached the standard of a Late Wave Champion due to their bursting Astral Wave. Of course, there would be repercussions for such outlandish energy output, but having evolved to Wave Champion with Void Marrow and practicing a Saint Technique as Blood Refinement Art, their constitution could handle much more. "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" The duo was right. Cain did not care about Zima's plan because the [Gluttony Module] had been filling his body with energy and vitality from the start of the tournament. Cain had chosen to project the image of exhaustion and energy depletion so Zima would lower his guard and send an attack full of openings, exposing his body. Zima could do nothing to stop Cain from dodging his fist and landing an uppercut on his jaw, sending his body flying into the sky while making his brain tremble inside his skull. Cain would not stop and rose, making the Astral Wave focus on his arms and legs, especially his fists, feet, elbows, and knees. "Flowing First!" A barrage of blows landed point blank on Zima. "Tempest Kick!" Enjoy new stories from empire Several kicks landed one after another on Zima's chest, pushing him even higher. "Crimson elbows and knees." Elbows that had transformed into blood gems connected on Zima, cracking his white armor and making this one puke blood. Zima had risen over three thousand meters into the air when he finally saw Cain vanish from beneath him. Yet, his instincts screamed terror as he felt two fists gently landing on his back. "SONIC CANNON!" "BOOOOOOOOM!" A massive shock wave spread across the sky, splitting the storm clouds apart as a mighty sonic cannon exploded point blank on Zima's chest, making this one puke a mouthful of blood while his body crashed into the ground at supersonic speed. "BOOOOMMM!" The battle arena trembled when Zima's body crashed into it. Blood was everywhere in the young man's body as he used what little strength was left to turn around and look into the sky. Cain was still in the air and saw that Zima's eyes were about to lose consciousness. He did not understand why this one had yet to surrender, but killing intent exploded in his heart since it was his chance to make things even. With Zima, there would be two Blood Champions of the Purith Path that perished, avenging Radin and Martin. "¡BOOM!" Sonic booms emerged from Cain's feet as he pushed his body to MACH 10 while his knees glowed with red light. He was ready to blast Zima's skull to pieces. However, just as he made his way down, Cain's vision was able to capture something. He saw the faces of the powerhouses of the Purist Path. While most were full of dread and panic, the High Blood Elder was still calm.
