Chapter 281: Running
Cain, Surin, and the Blood Champions made their Astral Wave explode, putting Shura behind them. The young woman was the assassin’s goal, and she could no longer fight, so they had to attack with all they had, ensuring this one could not get to her.

The ten men were ready to march toward the Wave King assassin immediately, taking advantage of the wounds on this one when they saw a smile appear on his face.
