Cain's body trembled with pleasure as he released his seed inside Shura. As this happened, his eyes slowly regained their light. With Apex having taken care of the Blood Astral Beast, there was no longer a force taking control over them.

Shura lowered her face as she stared at Cain. There was no regret in her heart, but she didn't know how he would react. However, the next thing she felt was a warm embrace and a hand patting her head.
"Everything will be fine now."
Shura's body trembled as she closed her eyes, a beautiful smile gracing her lips. The duo stood like that for a few seconds before putting on their clothes and ascending into the sky.

Cain walked with Bloodless #1 through a large corridor. He had remained in the Blood Sea for the last month. During that time, the young man had established a channel between the Aegon Family and Imperial Lightning Fort with the Blood Sea. Actually, he finished that part quite quickly, but he chose to stay longer because he wanted to be with Shura for as long as possible.
"You know that girl will follow you if you say the word," Bloodless #1 remarked.
When he heard that, Cain looked at Bloodless #1, but he shook his head.
"Do you want me to imitate the monster from one hundred years ago?"
Cain's time in the Blood Sea allowed him to learn about the events that happened one hundred years ago.
The treasure that an outsider took away wasn't a weapon but the Blood Maiden. The child they were supposed to have was meant to be gifted in the Blood Lineage, but he was lost.
"It's different. Your relationship with the Blood Sea goes beyond just us; you are a bridge with the outside world and its power. So, no one would say a word."
"Haha, I know, but she will stay here. The Blood Sea is the best place for her training, not to mention that I won't remain in one place. I tend to move around. It wouldn't be fair for me to ask her to follow me."
Bloodless #1 nodded in understanding.
"I see. I respect your choice. I will make sure to keep an eye on her and ensure her safety."
Cain nodded, glancing at Bloodless #1.
"Thanks for that. I was just about to ask you the same thing. I'll repay this favor in the future. You have my word."
"¡BOOM!"
Cain streaked across the sky like a comet, moving at Mach 15, leaving the Blood Sea behind in a few minutes.
When Cain came to the Blood Sea, it took all his strength to arrive in two weeks, but now he could return to the Imperial Lightning Fort in less than twenty hours.
As Cain was finally nearing the Imperial Lightning Fort in the distance, he suddenly stopped and looked back. His eyes turned cold as he gazed into the distance.
That coldness was not due to the presence of someone but the lack of it. There was no one watching over or chasing the youth.
"It seems that they didn't take the bait."
Although he was alone, a figure emerged from his space ring just as he spoke those words. It was none other than the First Collapsing Pillar.
As soon as he appeared, the ring burst into pieces. That was the same ring the Wave King assassin used to hide the crew of Wave Champions.
Space rings capable of holding life had limitations, and the stronger the life form, the harder it was to maintain the stable dimension inside. It was a miracle that it had endured holding the First Pillar this long, so neither of them was surprised when it broke.
Cain did not hide his departure from the Blood Sea and made sure many people saw him since he wanted to incite the Blood King to attack him.
Although it was dangerous, Cain did not want to just wait for the Blood King to go after him. If there was a chance to take care of that man, he would take it.
"The Blood King is dangerous and wild but also very cunning. No one reaches such a high level in the underground without those skills. Dealing with him will be more challenging than expected."
Cain nodded, his eyes growing colder. He remembered the threat of the Blood King and knew he had to be cautious from now on, especially since the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar would no longer be with him.
"We will part ways here. The old man is waiting for you."
The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar nodded to Cain before vanishing, this time for real.
A few seconds after his departure, Luther appeared in front of Cain, nodding towards the young man with a smile.
"It's good to see you, Colonel Laurifer."
