Chapter 218 Clash with the student force
218 Clash with the student force
Cain removed several Wave Champion Beast's hearts from his space ring before generating a mantle of Blood Lightning that devoured the blood in them and sent it into his body. His eyes grew sharp, and his Ego Wave burst with power as he focused all the Astral Wave and blood essence into his arm to improve the speed at which they healed.
Dozens of battles took place around Cain, with the soldiers battling over thirty Early Wave Champion Beasts and six that had already reached the Middle Wave Champion level.
The soldiers made sure to stay away from Cain to avoid interrupting his recovery, and none of the Wave Champion Beasts dared to get anywhere near him.
After five hours and having devoured the blood of nearly twenty Early Wave Champion Beasts' hearts, Cain's arms had fully healed, and most of his internal wounds were already gone.
Cain raised his arms and clenched them, smiling as he felt his strength. He then focused on the battlefield and released a small sigh.
The battle with the horde was a victory, and there were no casualties on their side, but all the Middle Wave Champion Beasts managed to escape, and most of the soldiers endured severe wounds that would force them to rest for several days.
It was clear to Cain that they were not ready to advance beyond this point. The battle with the Hell Ape pushed the trio to their limits, and they nearly lost their lives more than once. A clash with a horde with more than one Late Wave Champion Beast would carry significant casualties among the soldiers.
After cleaning the battlefield, Cain led the soldiers back to the encampment, where they were told to rest for the next two days. Cain reached his tent and shut down communications as he adopted a meditative stance and focused. His heart had no frustration since he knew they would face resistance like this, and it happened later than he expected.
Of course, that did not mean he would just accept it. Immediately, his mind began to search for ways to improve his power and that of the soldiers around him.
