Chapter 260: To the Blood Pagoda (II)
The two guards looked at each other when they saw Caim’s military identification. Their behavior was typical of bullies, valiant against those they believe themselves superior but afraid of the ones with strength. Never would they dare to disrespect the Imperial Army, the strongest force in the entire empire under the command of the current Emperor of Humankind.
Resentment and rage appeared on the duo’s faces, but in the end, they only sneered before moving away from Cain’s path.
"We would never dare to obstruct a Major from the Imperial Lightning Fort during a mission, but I must warn you that the bridge is in repairs, and there could be problems with the force field keeping Wave Beasts away."
Cain stared at the guard that spoke those words before focusing on the bridge. It was over five thousand meters long, with large pillars every one hundred meters generating a sky-blue veil that covered the road.
Since it was a straight path, with nothing obstructing his view, Cain could see all the way to the other end of the bridge. There were no problems with the pillars or the sky-blue veils, but he noticed someone stopping people on the other edge of the bridge.
There could be actual problems with the bridge, but the most likely answer was that someone with enough power sent orders to these disciples, ensuring they generated trouble for Cain.
It was likely that the sky-blue veil protecting the bridge would shut down once he was in the middle of it, leaving him exposed to the attack of the Wave Beasts living inside the sea of blood.
Cain only shook his head at such a foolish trap and simply walked forward.
The two guards smiled as they saw Cain walking to the bridge and were ready to send the signal when this one was in the middle of the road.
"¡Boom!"
However, those smiles froze when they heard a sonic boom and saw Cain vanish, only for this one to appear more than three hundred meters into the road in less than a second!
A bridge over five thousand meters was long, but someone moving at supersonic speed could cover it in less than twenty seconds!
