Chapter 349: Arcane Route (III)
"¡AHHHHHHHH!"
The Atrox Battle Puppet roared, unleashing a burst of energy that dispersed the dark clouds in the sky. It swung both hands toward Cain, and the sheer motion generated a crushing gale.
Although the brute power behind that attack did not fall beneath that of an Old World’s small nuclear weapon, Cain did not lose his calm and kicked the broken puppet up.
"BOOOOOMMMMMMMM!"
Moments later, the Atrox Battle Puppet’s fists slammed into the ground where Cain had stood, causing a tremor throughout the mountain and producing a shockwave that extended to those watching below.
While most onlookers wondered about Cain’s fate, the Crown Prince, Second Princess, and Fourth Prince immediately turned their gaze skyward. They saw Cain emerging from the shadow cast by the broken puppet he’d propelled just before the impact.
The Atrox Battle Puppet, sensing Cain’s presence, displayed pure rage and killing intent as it lunged into the sky with its colossal frame.
Cain, his eyes cold, was surrounded by a dark aura, especially around his wings. As the massive hands of the Atrox Battle Puppet neared him, aiming to crush his body, he uttered two words:
"Third Gear!"
"BOOOOOOMMMMM!"
Following Cain’s declaration, a dark flash pierced the chest of the Atrox Battle Puppet.
A mix of awe and shock was evident in the eyes of the onlookers. Cain had brilliantly exploited the puppet’s lack of agility, propelling it skyward. He then reinforced his blood wings with dark energy, transforming them into a drill that, at a breathtaking speed, pierced the Atrox Battle Puppet!
