Chapter 299: Stopping the fight
Cain’s eyes grew sharp as he focused on the Blood Pagoda and flashed at full speed toward this one. He could feel the battle behind him involving hundreds of Wave Champions, but he could not afford to distract.
Shura had led the people of the Integrationist Path that attended the Final Blood Champion Tournament into a defensive position, so the other side could not interrupt him. However, hundreds of Wave Champions and Wave Warriors were still in Blood Island and Blood City.
Both sides had heard the order from the powerhouses, so battles did not take long to emerge across the city and island, with one side wanting to stop Cain’s from reaching the Blood Pagoda and the other protecting him.
Cain’s Ego Wave showed him the ongoing battles and how the collateral damage would not take long to start affecting civilians and children. That only made him push himself even harder to reach the Blood Pagoda.
Warriors of the Integrationist Path were doing all they could to give Cain an unobstructed path toward the Blood Pagoda, but some people of the Purist Path still managed to rise into the sky.
For those weak Wave Champions, it was practically suicide to face Cain head-on, and they knew it. However, in their minds, they were protecting their home and families from the evil outsider, and that was something worth dying for.
Cain’s eyes were cold as he saw people flashing toward him. There was fear in their eyes, but they were readying to sacrifice all in order to delay him.
"Ahhhh."
A small sight came out of Cain’s mouth as he pushed his mind to the limit, activating The Flow. He could read every move and action those warriors did, allowing him to pass through them without harming them.
Shock and confusion appeared on the warriors of the Purist Path as they saw Cain simply flashing past them, dodging all their attacks and spells as he made his way into the Blood Pagoda.
Everybody saw the battles of the tournament, and it was clear that Cain did not have a problem killing people, but they failed to understand the reason behind his actions.
Cain’s nature was that of a hero. It might be a twisted one fueled by revenge and murderous intent, but that is how he saw himself, and just killing people that wanted to protect their homes was not something he would do.
