194 Blood Lightning Killer
"¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!"
Each of Cain's punches carried every ounce of strength on his body, enhanced by his torque and lightning, allowing them to reach overwhelming power.
"CRACK!"
Before the other Wave Champion Beast could do anything to help their brethren, the sound of breaking bones echoed across the battlefield.
Cain ended his onslaught with one final right hook, where he concentrated every ounce of Astral Wave he had!
"¡BOOOOMMMM!"
The Inferno Ape's head was thrust into the ground by Cain's final punch, generating a massive crater and shattering every bone in its skull.
Silence reigned on the battlefield as humans and beasts focused on the dead Inferno Ape before turning to the young man bursting with Blood Lightning above its corpse.
"AHHHH!" The sound of a beast's howl drew everybody back to reality, and they saw Antony unleashing a barrage of golden arrows the size of spears over the Silver Blood Lion.
The Essence Wave Cultivator took advantage of Cain's performance to attack the horde's leader, and while he could not kill it, his spears did a lot of damage.
"Fight!"
Antony shouted with all his strength as he pushed his Wave Burst to its limit and continued his attack on the Silver Blood Lion.
The soldiers' fighting spirits exploded as they saw the dead Inferno Ape and the wounded Silver Blood Lion. They pushed their energy to their limit, ready to use every last drop of Wave inside them during the next couple of minutes!
Even after killing the Inferno Ape, Cain did not take his eyes off the beast. He ford a blade with his right hand and pierced the chest of the Early Wave Champion Beast, draining its blood to regain so of his stamina.
Cain felt the Inferno Ape's blood essence reaching his body and restoring his strength while using his Ego Wave to analyze the battles between the Vice-Captain and Wave Champion Beasts.
In less than five minutes, Cain had drained more than eighty percent of the Inferno Ape's body. He took a deep breath as his Blood Energy exploded, and the next second he vanished.
The Earth Crawler, a Wave Champion Beast resembling a giant armadillo with long claws, was fighting a group of Vice-Captains when it perceived a red flash above its head.
Unfortunately for the Wave Champion Beast, Cain's attack was too fast and could not prevent the punch covered in Blood Lighting from landing on the back of its head. That attack was so powerful that it paralyzed the Wave Champion Beast for a second, sothing that Vice-Captains fighting against it took full advantage of.
Cain had already dashed to another Wave Champion Beast when a sea of spells landed on the Earth Crawler. He was too tired for a direct fight but could use his assassination skill to perform sneak attacks over the Wave Champion Beasts, generating an opening that the other Vice-Captains could use.
That was not the only thing that Cain was doing, as the thousands of soldiers suddenly moved across the battlefield in a strange pattern under his command. The Wave Beasts did not understand what happened until it was too late.
The soldiers fighting the bulk of the Wave Beast horde divided into two sides, attacking from the flanks before surrounding them and starting a carnage.
"Imperial Lightning Fort!"
"Imperial Lightning Fort!"
The Wave Champion Beast saw how the beasts under their command were dying by the dozens every second, but they could do nothing since defending from the Blood Lightning Killer took all of their attention.
Howls of pain and explosions filled the battlefield as the human side unleashed absolute carnage, killing thousands of powerful Wave Beasts and over half of the Wave Champion Beasts before they finally began to pull back.
Cain did not let bloodlust distract him from the danger of the battlefield, and once the sun began to set, he mobilized the army back to the main encampnt.
The faces of the soldiers as they reached the encampnt were pale as they had drained until the last drop of Wave inside their bodies during those last few minutes of battle. However, they showed radiant smiles on their faces.
Today they experienced the first clash with creatures whose power matched that of mighty Wave Champions, yet not only did they survive, but they obtained an overwhelming victory!
No matter whom, every soldier could not help but glance at the young man at the front of the army. Whether it was intuitive or otherwise, no one dared to move past him as he led them into the encampnt.
Cain was exhausted and had little to no Astral Wave left in his body, but he stood straight as a majestic red force field covered his figure.
Just as the soldiers erged from the forest, the students did the sa, but their circumstances could not be more different. Unlike the soldiers who trained their minds to face the battlefield's cruelty, seeing their comrades die was almost too much for many students.
If it weren't for their cultivation improving their willpower, many students would have already developed signs of post-traumatic stress.
At the lead of the thousands of students were Dominic and Amos. Neither showed any concerns about their comrade's state of mind since those not fit for the battlefield would die, and there was no point in wasting their breath in them.
Dominic's eyes narrowed as he glanced at the soldiers and was surprised to see Cain at the lead and how all of them were full of fighting spirit even after what should have been a battle full of hardship.
Cain stopped moving when he felt Dominic's gaze, and all the soldiers behind him did the sa. He was beyond exhausted and was taking all his power to stand straight, but he was aware of just how vital motivation was for an army, especially with the plan he had in mind.
Cain did not take his eyes off Dominic as he channeled the last drop of Astral Wave left in his body along with his Blood Energy before raising his fist.
An arc of Blood Lightning erged from Cain's fist, rising over three ters into the air.
"Imperial Lightning Fort!"
Those words reached every soldier, making them feel as if their blood was burning, and they could not stop themselves from raising their arms, just like Cain before shouting in unison.
"Imperial Lightning Fort!"
"Imperial Lightning Fort!"
"Imperial Lightning Fort!"
