Chapter 199 Defeat
199 Defeat
"FALL IN ORDER!"
Before chaos could spread, Cain's voice echoed across the battlefield. Immediately after that, a battle formation appeared in the mind of the Vice-Captains to face the current situation. It would not last long and force everybody to overexert themselves, but it was their only choice unless they wanted to suffer massive casualties.
Cain did not have the luxury of focusing on anyone else who was not the monster before him and left the task of rearranging the battle formation to Apex. He made his Astral Wave burst with so much strength that even with his impressive constitution, he felt his body would crumble in a few minutes, but that was the only way he could face the Middle Wave Champion Beast.
"AHHH!" Cain roared as he condensed his Astral Wave around his arms and legs, pushing the Mantis' scythe away before sending a tornado kick.
The kick was very strong, with Cain using all his torque, but it only pushed the Lightning-Fall Mantis less than three meters upon impact.
Cain clenched his teeth, and he felt his leg go numb. The body of the Lightning-Fall Mantis was incredibly tough.
However, Cain did not have time to focus on that as the Lightning-Fall Mantis immediately flashed back into the fray and hacked with its two scythes, aiming at his neck and torso.
Cain was pushed to his limits by the beast's speed and skill, but he was able to dodge both scythes. However, his armor was not unscathed, as there was a deep cut that came dangerously close to his skin. Unfortunately, those two strikes were far from everything, as the Lightning-Fall Mantis kept hacking toward Cain with immense strength and speed. Cain did his best to dodge the attack, but sometimes he was forced to use his gauntlets to block it, and every time he did it, his arms trembled. Cain found himself struggling against the formidable Lightning-Fall Mantis. Despite his best efforts, the creature proved to be too powerful, relentlessly pushing him back and inflicting numerous cuts on his armor.
Cain had just blocked a strike that pushed him over fifty meters back and saw how the Lightning-Fall Mantis jumped toward him, ready to give the final blow.
