Chapter 275: Howling Forest
Cain had just opened his eyes when, all of a sudden, an immense pain assaulted his mind. It was like someone was splitting his brain in half and sewing it back together the next second.
Luckily for Cain, the pain just lasted a moment, and his eyes soon regained focus. He looked around, only to see Shura sitting less than two meters away from him.
Shura noticed Cain waking up and gave him a thankful nod before returning to her training.
’That is right. I saved her.’
Cain remembered the events that led to his current state. Just as the lightning pillar was about to fall on Shura, he reacted by instinct as his willpower burst with power, allowing him to concentrate all his energy in his right hand.
However, even all his Blood Energy and Astral Wave combined could not face the lightning pillar with the might of a Wave King’s spell. Yet, just as he was about to lose, his Ego Wave exploded and fused into his Astral Wave.
That allowed his energy pool to grow immensely, giving him the strength to split the lightning pillar in half. After that, his mind was about to shut down in order to protect itself from the backlash of Cain using his Ego Wave in that manner, so he grabbed Shura and rose to safety as fast as he could before falling unconscious.
’Mind Over Wave.’
The ability to channel your Ego Wave into your Astral Wave, allowing the second to grow, was something someone at the Second Realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power could do, but Cain had yet to achieve that level.
It was not odd for someone to deploy abilities of the next realm in the Ego Eternal Path of Power if they were close enough and there was a burst in their willpower. Cain had done it many times when he had yet to reach Mind Over Body but displayed techniques at that level.
However, there are side effects, and the fact that Cain just passed out was lucky.
’I should be careful, but it is not like I can use it again even if I want it.’
