Cain's eyes grew sharp as he focused on the Blood Pagoda and flashed at full speed toward this one. He could feel the battle behind him involving hundreds of Wave Champions, but he could not afford to distract.
Shura had led the people of the Integrationist Path that attended the Final Blood Champion Tournament into a defensive position, so the other side could not interrupt him. However, hundreds of Wave Champions and Wave Warriors were still in Blood Island and Blood City.
Both sides had heard the order from the powerhouses, so battles did not take long to emerge across the city and island, with one side wanting to stop Cain's from reaching the Blood Pagoda and the other protecting him.
Cain's Ego Wave showed him the ongoing battles and how the collateral damage would not take long to start affecting civilians and children. That only made him push himself even harder to reach the Blood Pagoda.
Warriors of the Integrationist Path were doing all they could to give Cain an unobstructed path toward the Blood Pagoda, but some people of the Purist Path still managed to rise into the sky.
For those weak Wave Champions, it was practically suicide to face Cain head-on, and they knew it. However, in their minds, they were protecting their home and families from the evil outsider, and that was something worth dying for.
Cain's eyes were cold as he saw people flashing toward him. There was fear in their eyes, but they were readying to sacrifice all in order to delay him.
"Ahhhh."
A small sight came out of Cain's mouth as he pushed his mind to the limit, activating The Flow. He could read every move and action those warriors did, allowing him to pass through them without harming them.
Shock and confusion appeared on the warriors of the Purist Path as they saw Cain simply flashing past them, dodging all their attacks and spells as he made his way into the Blood Pagoda.
Everybody saw the battles of the tournament, and it was clear that Cain did not have a problem killing people, but they failed to understand the reason behind his actions.
Cain's nature was that of a hero. It might be a twisted one fueled by revenge and murderous intent, but that is how he saw himself, and just killing people that wanted to protect their homes was not something he would do.
The Blood Pagoda was already within his reach, and just as nearly a dozen of the attacks were about to clash with him, he made the Astral Wave on the sole of his feet explode, propelling his body like a rock, dodging everything and allowing him to reach the structure.
Powerhouses of both sides saw that, and while smiles appeared on those of the Integrationist Path and anxiety on those of the Purist Path, none of them got overexcited. Even if Cain could hack the Blood Pagoda, it would take him a long time to do that, and it would also mean that hundreds, if not thousands, of people would die fighting around him.
"ZNNNNNN!"
However, once again, Cain did what everybody else thought was impossible, hacking the Blood Pagoda less than five seconds after touching this one.
"It can not be happening!"
"BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!"
However, even that mighty display of power between the powerhouses fell short compared to the fight occurring thousands of kilometers above sea level.
The Blood Duke and Bloodless #1 were fighting against the High Blood Elder and Second Blood Elder, and by the might of those explosions, it was clear that neither side was holding back.
If Titans were to fight in the Old World, they would have the power to burn the atmosphere, killing the entire world!
There was no way to describe them other than weapons of planetary destruction. Only a world like Aether could hold fighting between this type of monster without suffering actual damage.
Cain's arms were healing at a shocking speed under the power of the Radiance of Life. The Sun Sed had grown even more powerful after the evolution of the Ego Eternal Path of Power to the Second Realm.
Channeling the attack of the Collapsing Lightning Duke's energy into a cannon did a lot of damage to his arms, but since the one that took the brunt of the recoil was Slaughter, there was no irreversible damage.
And he was not just healing his arms. Several mid-quality wave crystals went into his [Devourer Dimension] while at the same time sending some into his stomach.
Finally, he was also increasing his mastery of Mind Over Wave. His willpower had risen to the point where he could channel it into his own Astral Wave or take control of the Life Wave in the surroundings. Both paths granted him a much greater endurance and a great burst of battle power.
It took Cain less than fifteen minutes to fully heal the arm damage. Although his energy pool had not fully recovered, it was enough to rejoin the fray. His eyes grew sharp, and he took a deep breath.
"Wait!"
Just as Cain was about to march into the battlefield, he heard a voice and looked down at the people inside the red plasma net.
Shura was looking at him with eyes full of fear. She knew Cain and what this one would do after healing his injuries, but she did not want him to once again risk his life.
"It is too dangerous. Don't do it."
Cain's eyes showed a little surprise when he heard that. The woman knew what he was about to do. A small smile appeared on his face as he saw the dread and worry in Shura's face, but he simply shook his head.
"It is in my nature."
Those were his last words before he flashed to the sky, ready to join the Wave King's battlefield.
