Timothy's eyes widened with awe and shock as he saw how two individuals burst their way out of Ocius' head, with the one donning a red helmet managing to cripple three Wave Kings in less than a second.@@@@ For the old Wave Champion, such might was comparable only to that of an Elder of the Azure Royal Family. The fear in his heart grew so strong that he did not hesitate to use his A.I. Chip to communicate with the outside world. As for how he would explain all this, he did not care; at the moment, his only thought was to survive. Unfortunately for Timothy, there was another jamming signal in place besides the one he had used to hinder Ocius' A.I. Chip, blocking his messages. And if that wasn't enough, branches emerged from the wooden cage and entrapped his body, immobilizing him. "If you try anything, my branches will pierce your body. You will not die, but it will be painful." Timothy trembled upon hearing those words, seeing the man in the black helmet looking at him with coldness and disdain. Krane loathed those who betrayed their comrades, but while he wanted to kill Timothy and the others, they had to remain alive. Otherwise, Cain would not have aimed at non-vital points and killed the three Wave Kings immediately. After Cain took care of the Wave Kings, branches emerged from the wooden cage and entangled them just as they had with Timothy. Farius' face was pale, and his body could not stop trembling due to the severe damage he had just sustained. While he knew he was severely wounded and could not escape by force, he understood there was a reason they were kept alive. "What... do you... want?" Farius struggled to regulate his breathing and found it difficult to speak, but he managed to gather the strength needed to ask that question. Cain's gaze was as cold as ever as he looked at the three Wave Kings, but his eyes turned toward Timothy, making the latter tremble with terror. "I know nothing. Farius and the others forced me to trap Ocius!" Cain hadn't even spoken, but the old Wave Champion was already spouting excuses, making him shake his head. It was clear that Timothy would say anything to survive, which meant he could not trust anything this one said. Cain took a deep breath before making his Ego Wave burst with power, invading Timothy's mind and hypnotizing him. Zalan was terrified and severely wounded, with holes all over his body, but he was still an Astral Wave King. Like a frenzied beast, he began to strike at Cain with all the strength he could muster, but it was futile. Cain's body was as hard as a Golden Wave Artifact, and without the enhancement of Astral Wave, Zalan's punches could not even leave a bruise. Cain's eyes remained emotionless as the Ego Wave within them burst, manipulating all thirty-three Blood Nails simultaneously. "¡Ahhhhh!" A scream of unbearable pain came from Zalan as the Blood Nails gouged out his eyes, but that was just the beginning as the agony grew even as the daggers began to flay his skin. In less than thirty seconds, there was not a single piece of Zalan's body left with skin, and he had become a bloody horror. Farius and the other Wave King witnessed it all, and the terror in their hearts nearly made them wet themselves. The worst part was not the pain but the fact that Zalan was still alive. The man could not scream since his tongue was also removed, but he did not stop trembling in pain, presenting the duo with a vivid image of the agony he was enduring. "Timothy, is it correct to say that Farius is the one with the highest clearance and knowledge among the people present?" The world rewards strength, so it would make sense that Farius would be the one with the most extensive background and knowledge. Of course, other factors could be at play, so Cain asked for confirmation. "Yes." The old Wave Champion immediately confirmed Cain's hypothesis. Cain turned to Farius for a moment but did not linger on this one for long as his eyes turned to the other Wave King. "Black." Just like with Zalan, as soon as Cain gave the command, the branches released the Early Wave King. There was nothing but absolute terror in the Wave King as he saw the branches releasing him, to the point that he was not even able to make a move as Cain grabbed him by the neck.
