Chapter 392: Embracing Order (III)
If Cain wanted to survive, he had to be fast, or everything would be lost. The danger he faced right now was even greater than when the High Blood Elder aimed to take his life.
Apex couldn’t help but narrow his eyes as he realized the focus and calm that Cain projected, even as his life was on the line. Even for someone like the System Spirit, the effect of the Path of Order on a life form was transcendental.
However, the golden humanoid understood the severity of the situation and immediately offered a reply to Cain. He had also noticed the oddness of the situation since, despite the distance to the Silver City, hundreds of explosions with the power of H-Bombs should not go unnoticed.
"I have surveyed the surroundings and transmissions using the [Scan Force Field], and I can only assume we are inside some concealment force field. It must be capable of covering the Azure State and the Cicada Forest around it, projecting an illusion to the outside world that everything is fine.
If my conjecture is right, its name should be Black Box, which the Blood King commanded the Azure King to reinforce."
Cain’s eyes narrowed as he heard those words, but he did not lose focus on the battle. He dodged one of the blows from the Blood King before striking with his left elbow’s bone spike, piercing it into the enemy’s shoulder, just to send a headbutt the next second.
The Blood King’s eyes trembled as the head strike made the pain in his mind even greater, sending him crashing into the ground.
Cain immediately flashed toward the Blood King, increasing the momentum of his body as his right knee aimed forward, intending to impale the blood humanoid dragon with the bone spike in it. At the same time, he carried on with his conversation with Apex.
"That concealment force field. It must be the reason there were no Apotheosis Realm Masters in the Azure Castle." Cain’s train of thought paused for an instant as a flash of coldness appeared in his eyes.
"I was the target of the Black Box."
