Chapter 512: Facing an oceanic horde (II)
Cain’s speed of thought allowed him to react hundreds of times faster than the speed of sound, but he was moving at a fraction of the speed of light right now, so the only thing his mind could process was different flashes until suddenly, his body stopped in a sky bursting with lightning and thunder.
The lightning storm that covered the continent was supposed to have vanished, yet it remained very vigorous in this place. Cain soon found the answer to this anomaly as he saw a massive tree, not much smaller than the one in the Solis Clan Sacred Home, but this one was covered in thunder and lightning, constantly discharging its energy into the sky.
Although the lightning tree was majestic, Cain did not have time to wonder about it since hundreds of Wave Beasts noticed his presence and lunged toward him with madness and hunger.
Cain’s eyes burst with red light, and just as the Wave Beasts were about to reach him, thirty-three daggers emerged from his heart and flashed at hypersonic speed around him.
They killed every one of those Wave Beasts that dared to lunge toward him before expanding their killing field into the distance, creating a five-hundred-meter domain where there was nothing but death to any Wave Beast beneath the Middle King Beast Rank.
Now that his Ego Wave had reached the Late Apotheosis Realm and he could infuse the Blood Nails with his Blood Energy (Essence Path), each became a weapon capable of instantly killing a weak King Beast.
Of course, those weak Wave Beasts were never a real threat since they could not overcome Cain’s body’s defenses. His flesh and blood were as hard as a Peak Golden Level Artifact, something weak creatures could not harm.
Yet, as thousands of Wave Beasts began to die, the stronger creatures in the horde soon noticed it, and all turned their gaze toward the Godslayer Human in the sky.
Cain’s eyes narrowed as he turned to the shore where the truly powerful beasts were located and detected the presence of several powerful Grand King Beasts. He could choose to move away, improving his kill count with Wave Champion Beasts, but that was not his style.
The red light in his eyes burst with even greater power as he stopped containing his Astral Wave, allowing the energy full of vitality and power to flood his flesh and blood, increasing his physical power as he extended his right hand, making Slaughter appear.
