Chapter 291: All eyes in the battle
"Ninth battle is over. Cain Laurifer is the winner."
The mechanical referee shouted those words, and a second later, the last of the Blood Champions of the Purist Path flashed toward the platform.
Zima seemed eager to fight immediately, which made perfect sense. While the other Blood Champion did not hurt Cain, the fight did drain a significant portion of his energy pool and stamina.
The High Blood Elder and Blood Duke exchanged glances as they saw Cain and Zima on the platform. Although the Integrationist Path won nine battles, they only had one fighter, so the Purist Path only needed a single victory.
Of course, everybody would mock them, and the stance of the Purist Path would certainly grow weaker, but they would still be the ones that would carry on with the final and most important part of the Century Ascendance of the Blood Moon.
There was nothing the Blood Duke could do about the unfairness of this situation. The rules that allowed Cain to kill Jeremy without repercussions also forced him to win all ten fights.
Powerhouses of the Purist Path and Integrationist Path were not the only ones analyzing the battle between Cain and Zima. Blood Sea was an extremely important power in the Collapsing Lightning Sector, so factions across the empire were using different methods to watch the fight.
In the Titan Tower of the Imperial Lightning Fort, a room with a large mirror showed Cain and Zima. There were six people; five were Collapsing Lightning Pillars, and the last was Luther.
Of course, among the Pillars was Zarak, and there was a flash of disdain in his eyes.
"Hmph! They really know no shame. Despite forcing Cain to fight ten consecutive battles, they do not give him any time to rest."
Stay tuned to empire
"There is no reason for the mighty people of the Blood Sea to give leeway to an outsider."
