Zima was able to stop his body trembling, and a sense of shame and embarrassment replaced the fear in his heart. People were only looking at him with confusion, but those eyes were full of mockery for him.
"You damm brat!"
"¡BOOM!"
A powerful sonic boom accompanied Zima's voice as he flashed at full speed toward Cain, channeling all his strength in his right fist. It was clear that he would not stop this time.
"¡NOOO!"
Shura shouted as she saw Zima's fist about to land on Cain's head, killing him. There was a pressure in her heart she could not understand, and she wanted nothing more than to jump into the battle arena, but it was not possible.
"BOOOOOMMMMMMM!"
A massive shock wave spread across the battle arena, and blood tainted the ground, but it was not Cain's!
Silence reigned in the amphitheater as they saw how Cain sent Zima flying away while puking blood!
Wave Warriors and Wave Champion did not understand what happened since it was too fast for them. Only Wave Kings could see the exchange, but that did not diminish the shock in their hearts.
The ones that saw it clearer than everybody else were the Blood Duke, Bloodless #1, and the High Blood Elder. None of them could believe it, but it happened.
Zima's punch was about to reach Cain's head when this one moved and responded with a counter that sent him flying away while puking blood.
Up to a second ago, Cain had barely been able to block Zima's attack, but now he could perform counters. The trio could not understand what kind of monster the young man was.

The people on the Blood Sea were not the only ones shocked by what they had just seen. Those in the Titan Tower of the Imperial Lightning Fort were also trying to understand how Cain did that.
None of them could figure out how Cain's speed rose to such a ridiculous level from one moment to another.
"His Alter-Ego?"
Olivion asked Zarak since that was the only possible explanation in his mind.
Zarak was about to negate it since Cain's Alter-Ego was focused on regeneration, but he then remembered the duality of that crimson sphere.
"I... don't know."
There was no way Zarak would reveal Cain's secret, but he was honestly confused and did not understand what was happening.
Solemn expressions appeared in the Pillars as they heard that and nodded, focusing on the mirror.
Luther stared at Cain for a moment before using his A.I. Chip to communicate with the Collapsing Lightning Duke.

In the castle of the Aegon Family, Jonathan was looking at the crystal sphere with awe. Even for him, it would have been hard to perform that counter, yet Cain, who was just an Early Wave Champion, could do it.
Zima clenched his teeth as he attacked with all he had, but his attacks could not touch Cain. It was as if this one could read his mind and dodge everything he launched.
It did not take long for the evasion to turn into counters, with Cain landing blow after blow on Zima's face, slowly pushing this one back.
The people on Blood Sea and all those around the empire were baffled by what they saw. Cain Laurifer was already an extraordinary genius with a destiny that surpassed the average Wave King, but he had evolved into something much greater.
Under the eyes of the entire Godslayer Humankind Empire, his destiny was rising to the level of Gods and Titans!
Cain pulled Zima to the other edge of the battle arena one punch at a time!
His eyes were bleeding, and there was a beeping sound in his ears due to the brain damage, but that only made his smile brighter.
Zima's face was bloody, and he was already reaching his end since the Runic Inscription had already drained over 90% of his energy. The power of his Alter-Ego was also running out, and it was just a matter of time before he was finally defeated!
'This can not happen? All my plans and sacrifices are going to waste for a little child!?'
Zima could not believe what was happening and that he could do nothing to stop it. He had planned for such a long time, and now all of it would fail due to a kid he had never heard of before.
"¡Impossible!"
That shout was the last thing Zima did before his knees could no longer endure the punishment and caved in.
Cain's bloody eyes burst with killing intent as he was ready to send a downward kick at the top of Zima's head.
"I surrender."
Unfortunately for Cain, Zima was faster and surrendered before he could perform the attack.
Due to the state of his senses, Cain could not hear the mechanical referee's voice, but he was sure that he had attained victory.
A cold light appeared in Cain's eyes as he stared at Zima's kneeling body before turning around.
Zima's eyes showed a poisonous hatred as he saw Cain turn around, and his energy burst as he sent a punch to the back of this one's head.
The rules of the tournament stopped mattering a long time ago for Zima, and the only thing he cared about right now was to kill Cain.
Despite his rage and killing intent, Zima had managed to hide it all, so there was no way Cain could dodge it.
Even Cain would have to admit that it was a good assassination strike, but there was one flaw, and that was that he was still in tune with The Flow.
Cain's eyes might be looking away, but he could still dodge Zima's strike before turning around and using the entire torque of his body to land a kick on this one's temple.
"¡BOOM!"
The kick blasted Zima's head into the ground, but he did not have time to worry about the brain trauma as he saw Cain's murderous gaze.
"I am a Kin..."
Zima was not able to finish his sentence before Cain's finger pierced his eyeball, reaching all the way into his brain!
