Chapter 166 Blood Energy (I)
166 Blood Energy (I)
The young man that drew the attention of dozens of people across the Gaia Continent was currently at the bottom of a giant cauldron, feeling how his entire body was boiled alive by a river of scorching blood.
The heat was excruciating, and the moment Cain was outside Morgana and the other scientists’ view, he immediately activated his Wave Cloak.
Unfortunately for Cain, while his Astral Wave Cloak granted a layer of protection, it was not enough to fight off the heat. Things could change if he used Wave Burst, but that sudden spike in energy could alert Morgana, so he could not do it.
Cain’s body was livid red due to the heat, but what happened to his face was even more shocking, as this one was melting. Of course, that was not really Cain’s face since, even for someone like him, something like that would carry a level of unbearable pain.
The thing that was melting was Cain’s One Hundred Faces. Although the Wave Artifact proportioned exceptional levels of camouflage, it was not meant for battle and could not endure such a hostile environment as a cauldron full of boiling blood.
Cain took the mask out before it could harm his actual face as he stood at the bottom of the giant cauldron with his eyes closed. He could not see, but thanks to the [Basic Scan Force Field] tool, he knew everything that happened in the room.
The [Basic Scan Force Field] did not have the Ego Wave’s range or unique abilities, but it could cover Peak Wave Champions without these ones noticing it. Cain came to that conclusion when Jonathan entered the scope of the force field and did not realize it.
Of course, things were different if Cain used the [Basic Scan Force Field] tool to do any sort of invasive maneuvers.
Right now, Cain’s whole focus was on Morgana, and every second the old masked woman passed inside the room, he came closer to his death.
.....
The exchange between Morgana and the other three scientists was impressive and involved a high level of Genetic Coding knowledge. Yet, Cain did not have the luxury of enjoying it.
