Chapter 564: The Mind Cosmos Chamber
Although the oceanic hammer attack had harmed Cain, it also increased the distance between him and the trio, granting him more time to find others. However, his chances were not great, and he was running out of time.
Cain clenched his teeth and ignored the pain he felt as he moved forward at full speed. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he detected a fluctuation in the energy in one of the routes, indicating a path toward one of the chambers. While this would have been good news before, it was pointless now as it could very well be empty, leading him to a dead end.
However, just as Cain was about to move past it, it happened.
'Boy, this way.'
Cain's eyes widened as he heard that voice in his mind. There was no life form near him other than the trio, and the Astral Bloodline Realm limited the range of one's Ego Wave, so no one should be able to communicate telepathically with him, yet it happened.
There were two paths for Cain: moving forward, hoping to find another of the clans and request their help, or trusting that this mysterious entity could help him. A flash of determination appeared in Cain's eyes as he made a sharp turn to the left and entered the route.
The Soul King frowned as he saw this, knowing that entering one of the routes would eventually lead to either a chamber or a dead end, which made no difference for Cain since he would be trapped with them. Although the Soul King felt something was wrong, he did not hesitate before moving with Robert in that direction and commanding Talon to follow them.
In the end, the trio also entered the route and pushed their speed to the limit as they wanted to catch Cain and kill him sooner rather than later to avoid other surprises.
Cain moved at full speed, and whenever he saw a crossroad, the voice in his head would tell him the right path. He already knew it thanks to the power of The Flow, but the fact that the voice could direct him made his confidence in it grow.
He pushed faster and faster, but Robert was even quicker, and the distance between the two was once again reduced to a dangerous level. Whatever the destination the voice was directing him to, it seemed the Soul King would catch him first.
'Dammit!'
Cain shouted in his mind, but there was no hesitation in his eyes as he triggered Third Gear, improving his heartbeat and the speed at which his Blood Wings waved, exponentially enhancing his speed.
The Soul King saw how Cain's speed exponentially increased and showed pure rage as he struck Robert's head, improving the man's energy pool's output and allowing him to move faster at the cost of his life force. Clearly, the Soul King did not care what would happen to Robert as long as they could catch Cain.
