Chapter 562: From bad to worse
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
That attack was the most powerful the Soul King had unleashed so far, so massive that it nearly divided the battlefield in half, pushing everybody away and temporarily halting all the other battles.
The warriors from the Solis Clan, Kraken Clan, Zanginis Clan, and Umbra Clan did not immediately rejoin the fray after being thrust away by that blast. Instead, they turned to the core of the explosion.
There was no clear winner between the two sides, so if the Soul King emerged victorious, it would tip the balance towards the Umbra Clan and Kraken Clan warriors.
Dread appeared on Zamuel and Lore's faces as they saw the attack had landed point blank on Cain. On the other hand, Talon was able to finally relax, sure that there was no way Cain could have survived that.
As the energy dispersed, everybody saw Cain's blood falling to the ground. However, shock set in as they saw the broadsword embedded in his chest, the weapon having shattered his left sternum and leaving a deep cut.
The wound on Cain's body was severe but far from what such an attack should have inflicted. The reason for that was the glowing blood vessels that seemed to burn energy.
"Astral Blood Ability!"
The Soul King couldn't help but be shocked to see Cain using such a powerful ability, exponentially enhancing his defenses and turning a deadly attack into only a deep wound.
A bad situation could always become worse. In the next second, Cain's eyes burst with red light, using all his strength to move his wounded left arm and grab the Soul King's wrist as he charged all his power into Slaughter.
