Chapter 274: Splitting lightning
Cain was not lying, as it indeed would take too long to relay the information to the group. The time window was too small for Shura and the nine Blood Champions to move simultaneously.
Actually, the one doing the analysis was not him but Apex. The System Spirit used the [A.I. Chip Module] to analyze all the meteorologic information before sharing it with Cain. Although the delay from one person to the other was just fractions of a second, it added up.
Surin and the other Blood Champions saw how Cain managed to move less than half a second before the lightning pillar fell, so they were sure he was telling the truth. There was not much they could do, so they just prepared to march forward when they saw Shura exiting the formation.
"My Lady?"
Surin immediately grew worried when he saw Shura moving away from them. She was an Early Essence Wave Champion, and her body could not endure the power of the pillars of lightning falling from the sky.
Before any of the Blood Champions could say another word, she raised her hand, signaling them to stop.
"Now that I am not in it, you will no longer have to protect me, making it easier for you all to face the lightning."
Surin and the rest of the Blood Champions were surprised when they heard that, and awkward expressions appeared on their faces. Although the goal of the formation was to divide the power of the lighting between all of them, the Blood Champions were actually overexerting themselves in order to enhance the defenses of Shura.
Now that the formation only contained Surin and the other eight Blood Champions, all Late Wave Champions, it would be much easier to face the lightning pillars.
The Blood Champions wanted to say something, but it was clear that Shura did not intend to hear them, and she just stood beside Cain.
"Since I am alone, I should be able to act fast enough if I follow your instructions."
Cain stared at Shura for a moment and saw the determination in the young woman’s eyes.
