The young woman saw how the guard did not follow her command, and her rage exploded. Years of being treated as superior and doing whatever she wanted had twisted her personality into one of extreme narcissism. Even if the target was much stronger than her, in her mind, no one should dare to resist them.
"I told you all to apprehend him!"
The woman had just shouted when Cain appeared in front of her, and the next second, he slapped her with so much force that her teeth were sent flying before her head crashed into the ground. She nearly lost consciousness, and immense pain assaulted her, but it did not erase the hatred in her eyes.
Cain's eyes flashed with killing intent as he felt that gaze, and the muscles in his right leg grew tense as he was ready to stomp her chest, crippling her. He would not have a problem justifying his actions, but just as he was about to act, his eyes narrowed, and he looked into the sky.
Krane followed his gaze but detected no one, leaving him wondering what was happening.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky."
Cain said nothing else before turning around and leaving with Krane. He was annoyed by the inconvenience and the fact that, no matter how strong he grew, there were still people stupid enough to think their background allowed them to look down on him.
As Cain and Krane departed, a figure materialized in the sky. It was an old woman with azure hair, and there was a sharp light in her eyes as she focused on Cain.
"What a monster. So young and still able to detect my presence even though I should have been perfectly hidden from his Ego Wave."
After that, the woman turned to the bloodied duo on the ground, and nothing appeared in her eyes but disdain and disappointment. She did not care about the trash of the new generation but could not allow people to go around and simply kill them, as it would affect the name of the Azure Royal Family.
Luckily for Cain, no one else bothered them, and they could leave the Azure State in a few minutes by flashing across the state. Once they were out, they found themselves within the Cicada Forest again.
Cain and Krane had a choice. They could either take the regular route, moving through empty trails to the next Royal States or cross straight through the heart of the Cicada Forest toward Eden.
While Cain would have liked to take the second path to avoid the inconveniences, it was not so simple. The Cicada Forest's periphery was safe for someone of his power, but deep inside, far from the range of influence of the Royal State, there were Great King Beasts whose power matched that of Apotheosis Realm Masters.
Cain was not so arrogant as to think he could face those beasts, even with Krane's help, so he chose the safe path, heading to the next state. This one was also controlled by a Royal Family, the one belonging to the Fifth Emperor, the Sky-Flame Emperor.
During their trip, Cain fought some King Beasts until he reached the city. However, this time, a group was waiting for him at the entrance before he could enter. Immediately, Cain frowned, as he did not want another set of problems, but there was not much he could do, and he simply walked forward.
However, from the beginning, things were very different from their encounter with the Azure Royals. The group had a young woman and a middle-aged man, and while there was an inherent aura of nobility and arrogance, they kept calm expressions as they saw Cain's arrival.
Finally, the group reached the volcano's peak and entered the castle. As soon as they did, the heat that permeated the outside faded, but that didn't mean the energy was gone; on the contrary.
Cain and Krane immediately noticed the waves of liquid fire permeating the ceiling. All the heat from the outside had condensed there, and its destructive power was formidable.
The duo didn't stare at the ceiling for long since a man immediately went toward them.
The man seemed to be in his twenties, with short black hair and blue eyes. His nearly two-meter-tall body was not overly muscular, but it was clear there was an immense strength inside it.
Cain's eyes immediately narrowed as he saw the number two engraved on his blue robe's shoulder.
For Royal Families, the titles of Prince and Princess were not given by their connection with the former Emperor since their direct descendants were thousands of years old. Those titles were granted by the higher-ups in the family to the younger generation members who had proven enough talent, and those with numbers like First, Second, and Third were among the best of the group.
"You came. It is a pleasure to meet the young legend in the flesh."
The young man stood before Cain and extended his hand with a cordial smile.
"I am the Second Sky-Flame Prince, Damian Sky-Flame."
Cain stared at Damian and returned the courtesy. As soon as their hands touched, he perceived the strength of the Second Sky-Flame Prince, and despite being an Essence Wave Cultivation, it was impressive.
Damian's smile remained, but there was inner shock inside his heart. He had seen the battle of the Blood Sea, but Cain's strength was even greater than he expected.
Although deducing all that from a handshake might seem too much, the young man did not reach his position just due to his great power but also his insight.
"Thanks for that, Silas. You can leave now."
Silas bowed toward Damian before nodding toward Cain and Krane and left quietly. However, the young woman by his side remained.
She showed a great smile before walking next to Damian and clasping her hands at Cain.
"It might be late, but allow me to introduce myself. I am a Princess of the Sky-Flame Royal Family, Karin Sky-Flame."
