The thirty-three daggers had arranged themselves, forming a defensive formation between Cain and the Living Volcano's leg. Just because they were weapons didn't mean they couldn't serve as a shield.
Cain regained control shortly after, and with a wave of his hand, the daggers dispersed and rose into the sky. His eyes glowed red as the Ego Wave enhanced the daggers.
The Living Volcano sensed something amiss with the daggers, but having already encountered them, it deemed them non-lethal and lunged at the audacious human confronting it.
A cultivator would have recognized the danger of the daggers and monitored them closely. However, Cain wasn't facing a cultivator but a beast. No matter how powerful or wise Wave Beasts became as a result of their cultivation base, most remained slaves to their instincts and fierce nature, which is why they couldn't surpass any of the main six races of Aether.
Cain watched as the Living Volcano lunged towards him. But just as it was about to reach him, he waved his hand down, sending all thirty-three daggers plummeting in a drill formation.
The drill struck the Living Volcano's back, driving it into the ground, attempting to pierce its rocky hide. The daggers' power and range were impressive, as was their maneuverability, rivaling an Essence Cultivator's spell.
They couldn't evoke unique phenomena or the might of Laws – that was the domain of the Essence Evolution Path of Power – but as secondary weapons, they were ideal.
"¡AHHHHHH!"
A scream of pain and rage erupted from the Living Volcano as its Life Wave burst forth, pushing back the daggers that attempted to pierce its skin while slowly rising from the ground. While its offensive capabilities and agility were average, its defenses were nothing short of extraordinary.
Cain's eyes narrowed. They had been clashing for nearly an hour, and while he had taken minimal damage, so had the Living Volcano. He didn't mind a prolonged battle; in fact, he had chosen this adversary for that very reason.
Beyond testing his raw power, Cain sought to evaluate Slaughter and the Blood Nails, aiming to develop a battle style. With a saber, he could no longer use the skills of Bloodflow Fury. But he wasn't seeking a style focused on technique or finesse.
Cain had observed many Cultivators, from both the Astral Rebirth and Essence Evolution Paths of Power, wield swords. Yet, one stood out: The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar.
"¡SHHHHH!"
There was no blast or explosion, only the sound of wind splitting apart as Cain's saber sundered the stone leg in half!
No scream of pain came from the Living Volcano, not because the wound wasn't painful, but because it was in shock. It had fought with the human for nearly an hour and couldn't comprehend where he summoned such strength from.
Unfortunately for the Living Volcano, distraction in the presence of a master assassin was a deadly mistake. Before it could regain its focus, Cain was already in front of its face, piercing Slaughter into its head.
"¡BOOOOOM!"
Cain's eyes showed nothing but coldness as the energy on his blade burst, destroying the brain and soul sea of the Living Volcano and killing the creature.
A satisfied smile appeared on Cain's face as he saw the light fading from the Living Volcano's eyes. The thirty-three daggers returned to him, positioning themselves on his back, ready to block any attack.
However, his smile didn't last long as Cain grabbed his head, assaulted by a sharp pain. A complicated expression appeared on his face as he felt his Ego Wave deplete.
'I can summon the power of the Sundering Concept, but for that, I need to set my Ego Wave ablaze. Clearly, my mastery over it is too shallow.'

Cain had always been harsh with himself, but if anyone else were to see his feat, they would not know how to start praising him. Not only did he manage to summon the power of Concepts less than a year after reaching the Second Realm, but he also managed to kill a Late King Beast before turning eighteen!
Not wanting to waste time, Cain used his Ego Wave to cover the Living Volcano. Normally, he would drain the blood of any beast he killed, but the Living Volcano's blood was not fit for consumption, nor was its rocky flesh.@@@@
