Chapter 365: Sundering Concept
The thirty-three daggers had arranged themselves, forming a defensive formation between Cain and the Living Volcano’s leg. Just because they were weapons didn’t mean they couldn’t serve as a shield.
Cain regained control shortly after, and with a wave of his hand, the daggers dispersed and rose into the sky. His eyes glowed red as the Ego Wave enhanced the daggers.
The Living Volcano sensed something amiss with the daggers, but having already encountered them, it deemed them non-lethal and lunged at the audacious human confronting it.
A cultivator would have recognized the danger of the daggers and monitored them closely. However, Cain wasn’t facing a cultivator but a beast. No matter how powerful or wise Wave Beasts became as a result of their cultivation base, most remained slaves to their instincts and fierce nature, which is why they couldn’t surpass any of the main six races of Aether.
Cain watched as the Living Volcano lunged towards him. But just as it was about to reach him, he waved his hand down, sending all thirty-three daggers plummeting in a drill formation.
The drill struck the Living Volcano’s back, driving it into the ground, attempting to pierce its rocky hide. The daggers’ power and range were impressive, as was their maneuverability, rivaling an Essence Cultivator’s spell.
They couldn’t evoke unique phenomena or the might of Laws – that was the domain of the Essence Evolution Path of Power – but as secondary weapons, they were ideal.
"¡AHHHHHH!"
A scream of pain and rage erupted from the Living Volcano as its Life Wave burst forth, pushing back the daggers that attempted to pierce its skin while slowly rising from the ground. While its offensive capabilities and agility were average, its defenses were nothing short of extraordinary.
Cain’s eyes narrowed. They had been clashing for nearly an hour, and while he had taken minimal damage, so had the Living Volcano. He didn’t mind a prolonged battle; in fact, he had chosen this adversary for that very reason.
