Chapter 282: Fightning a Wave King (I)
"I am running away with the Blood Maiden from a Wave King assassin."
As soon as Cain sent that message, he began to run at full speed toward the Howling Forest. Those powerhouses would take some time to arrive at this place, even if they dropped everything they had and flashed at full speed.
Cain counted on Zarak to come to his help but was uncertain about the other three. That was why he planned to enter the Howling Forest, using the fog as his cover.
"¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!"
Sonic booms echoed one after the other as Cain pushed his body to the absolute limit, achieving Mach 2. He was running two times faster than the speed of sound.
"BOOOOOMMMM!"
Just as Cain was about to enter the Howling Forest, he heard a massive explosion. Looking back, he saw the Wave King assassin blasting open the earth and rising into the sky.
The Wave King assassin’s left arm was gone, and there were wounds all over his body, the most dire being a claw mark on the center of his chest. Despite all that, he was bursting with power and killing intent.
Immediately, the Wave King assassin searched for his target, and his eyes grew sharp as he saw Cain and Shura about to enter the Howling Forest. His Essence Wave exploded as jets of super-compressed air emerged from the sole of his feet, allowing him to move at Mach 10!
Cain’s eyes widened as he saw the speed that the Wave King assassin achieved, and he understood this one would catch up to them in just a few minutes.
He knew there was no way they could outrun the Wave King assassin. Decisiveness appeared in his eyes as he chose his path forward.
Shura also saw the Wave King assassin approaching them at a stunning speed, so she was shocked to see Cain stopping after barely going two thousand meters into the Howling Forest.
