Chapter 22: Overcoming burning rage
The duo was a man and a woman, and their dark-purple and sky-blue Wave Cloaks revealed the Path of Power they had taken.
“Oh, I am sorry for those wounds. I did not see you. Luckily you were able to react to my Shadow Blades.”
Cain saw the woman smiling toward him, but the evident disdain in her eyes told him all he needed to know. He felt his rage growing stronger and was doing all he could to stop himself from lunging toward them.
Without saying a word, Cain raised the Hell Devil by the neck and calmly began walking toward the cave’s entrance.
Although Cain’s composure surprised the duo, they never cared about his response. What mattered to them was the dying Hell Devil in his hands and the Wave Artifact.
“Filthy commoner, how dare you to ignore Lady Nira, a member of the Viscount Kilor’s Household.” The man roared, showing a righteous expression as if they were doing Cain a favor by talking to him.
Nira’s smile vanished as she saw Cain’s coldness, but she remained calm. The Hell Devil was mortally wounded, but if they wanted the Imperial Military Credits for her death, they needed to be the ones that gave the final blow.
.....
If they charged toward Cain, this one might break the Hell Devil’s neck before escaping, which was not good.
“Hand over the Hell Devil and the Wave Artifact you stole, and we will let you leave unharmed.” Nira’s words were harsh and seemed not to leave room for discussion. She never considered the Wave Artifact as Cain’s property, as a commoner could not possess something like that in her mind.
Cain felt his rage soaring without control as he heard how those two spoke to him. It reached the point he had to bite his tongue to remain calm.
