Chapter 200 Blood Hand
200 Blood Hand
Once Cain reached his tent, his composed expression broke apart, and an immense rage emerged in his heart. "Goddammit!" Cain shouted with strength, ensuring his voice did not leave the tent.
He had pure killing intent toward the Lightning-Fall Mantis, who dared to mess up with his plan and wanted nothing more than to crush Uriel's face with his fist.
As the Great Commander of the entire military force, he could not show those wild emotions in front of anyone else, as it was his job to remain calm, since only then could the others freak out. It took him a few minutes, but after letting all that out, Cain was able to regain his composure. Now that he was genuinely calm, he did not need to use his Ego Wave to control his emotions and could focus solely on the task.
Cain began to think of ways to overcome this ordeal, but it was hard to find an answer. He first looked at his armor, which was full of cuts, and knew he needed to change it.
The idea of buying a Wave Champion-level armor crossed Cain's mind, but he soon discarded it. Wave Artifacts need to consume the user's Wave to work correctly, and while Cain was impressive in every sense, his Astral Wave was similar to that of a Level 6 Wave Warrior. If one were to use Wave Champion-level Wave Artifacts with an inadequate amount of Astral Wave, the effect would be comparable to placing a solid piece of metal on their body. While it may be able to block the initial impact of an attack, it would not be effective in reducing its kinetic force.
To achieve success, Cain had to infiltrate the Wave Beast's horde and eliminate the Lightning-Fall Mantis. However, there were challenges ahead, with the chief one being Cain's inadequacy in dealing with the Middle Wave Champion Beast's impenetrable defenses. Cain vividly recalled the impact of his kicks on the beast's body, and he was aware of its incredible resilience.
'Advancing to Level 6 could give me the edge to surpass the Lightning-Fall Mantis's defenses.'
As that thought crossed Cain's mind, he emitted a command to the Absolute Life Form System.
'System, scan me.'
Like always, the system complied with Cain's order, and a virtual screen appeared before him in a few seconds. [Scan of Vessel completed
