Chapter 338: Fixing Slaughter (II)
Cain and Yordana moved through the start for nearly twenty minutes before finally reaching an open room where a five-meter-tall man was hammering a massive piece of metal. Despite his size, the proportion of his body made one think of a dwarf due to his bulky frame.
Yordana walked to the room’s threshold, quietly sat outside, not uttering a word, and remained silent.
Cain saw that and did the same, not willing to disrupt the man’s work. Although he did not dare to use his Ego Wave to inspect Grandmaster Horan, nor did he use his [Scan Force Field] since the pyramid might pick it up, his eyes grew calm, and he triggered on The Flow.
While The Flow allowed keen perception over the target, it depended on Cain alone and did not directly interfere with the body or energy movement of the target.
Cain did not show it, but there was wonder in his mind as he saw the movements of the man’s hammer. While it might seem simple and crude, he was actually engraving extremely complex magic matrices into the piece of metal, harnessing its power to the absolute limit.
Hours carried on as Grandmaster Horteus kept striking the anvil, but Cain did not mind the wait as he was fascinated by the man’s technique. Although his talent in Wave Crafting was not great, nor did he intend to learn, he was still engrossed in the essence of those hammer strikes since they had the power to temper things, erasing the impurities inside them.
After finishing that craft, Horteus did not raise his head from the anvil. Strange pieces of metal began to emerge from his space ring, and he began to arrange them, forming what seemed to be an extremely complicated Rubik’s cube.
"Tell me, do you prefer the swift precision of the wind or the relentless crush of the mountain?"
Cain’s eyes narrowed as he heard Grandmaster Horteus ask that question. The man did not raise his eyes and kept working on the Rubik’s cube, but Cain did not take the question lightly.
"I’d prefer the swift precision of the wind. Quick and untouchable."
Cain always strived to have a body that could endure immense damage, which was why he was so glad to have a technique like Biofusion Herculean Technique. Still, in all his fights, he always strived to strike with speed and precision that overpowered the enemy’s defenses.
Grandmaster Horteus kept working as he carried on with his questions.
