Chapter 735: Defeating the Alchemy Sword King
Shock and dread appeared in the eyes of the Alchemy Sword King as he saw the young man holding the bodies of two Dark Kings. He could not believe what he was seeing and, for a moment, thought they might be fakes, but it was impossible to ignore the True Titan aura each of them unleashed.
The Alchemy Sword King's shock only grew stronger once he saw that the Chimera King and Unbreakable King were still alive. Capturing an enemy alive was much harder than killing them, yet the young man not only did that, but there seemed to be no wound on him.
'Is that the power of the Scarlet King!?'
That thought echoed in the mind of every Divine Ascension Master sent by the Imperial Court as they gazed at the young man in the sky who resembled a god. His power was simply something they found hard to comprehend.
Cain glanced at the Divine Ascension Masters from the Imperial Court but did not bother with them for too long as he turned toward the Collapsing Lightning Duke and threw the two Dark Kings.
"I have sealed their energy, bodies, and minds, but they still might have some tricks. Keep them in prison, and make sure they are constantly watched. They must not escape, nor are they allowed to die."
The Collapsing Lightning Duke nodded as he grabbed the Chimera King and Unbreakable King. Although he had no idea why the Scarlet King wanted the Dark Kings to remain alive, he would not question the command. He had already come to understand that every action the young man did, no matter how minuscule or strange, was part of a grander scheme that he did not even bother to comprehend.
Although keeping the Dark Kings in his space ring was tempting, the energy radiation they released would destabilize the space inside them. Since Cain had a place to keep them, it was better to use it than to throw away the few top-tier space rings he had available.
After taking care of the Chimera King and Unbreakable King, Cain turned his eyes back to the Alchemy Sword King, this time really focusing on the man.
When those three eyes focused on him, the Alchemy Sword King felt as if they could see through his flesh and predict every move he might make. It was a suffocating pressure, and he could do nothing but tighten his grip on his sword and dagger.
"You are strong, and your abilities would have been of great help in facing the threats that assaulted the north. I saw that you were allocated to face the Blood Chimera Locust and, after the hybrid monsters were taken care of, went into a futile chase of the Dark Kings in the south.
The fact that you remained in the south despite the futility of the task and only returned now to the center of Gaia meant you were either a fool who only knows how to follow orders and cannot see the corruption in the Imperial Court or a coward who did not dare face the true threat to Godslayer Humankind."
Cain paused at this point, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
