Chapter 105
105 Just in time
Cain slowly opened his eyes, and there was confusion in them. However, that was pushed away by a wave of immense pain that covered his entire body.
He felt as if every muscle fiber had shattered, and he could not do anything else but stay on the ground, waiting for the pain to disappear.
Nevertheless, that was not so easy since dread assaulted his mind when he saw the Atrox right next to him, and even in his state, he could see that this one was still alive.
Cain knew he needed to adopt a battle stance, but just staying conscious was challenging, much less fighting.
Luckily, he soon heard a voice that allowed him to calm down.
“Relax, brat. The Atrox’s heart and brain technically work, but his soul is gone, so there is nothing to fear. Even if that was not the case, his injuries were so severe that he could not move.”
Apex’s voice echoed inside Cain’s mind allowing him to calm down but also filling him with questions. It took a few minutes, but the pain finally diminished to the point he could move and think.
Upon a closer look, Cain did see the horrible physical wounds on the Atrox’s body, but that mattered very little compared with the fact that despite still being alive, there was no light in his eyes.
“Apex, just who had the power to destroy the Atrox’s soul?” Cain’s understanding of the soul was shallow, but he knew that directly interacting with it required great knowledge and even greater power.
.....
There was no one here but him, and he definitely did not have those abilities.
