Chapter 776: Depravitas and the Laws
"¡BOOM!"
The explosions raged with increasing power as the energy of the Scarlet King and the Crown Prince rose. As the golden force managed to surpass his energy and physical defenses, more and more cuts formed on Cain's body, but his eyes remained impervious, showing nothing as he kept striking with increasing power.
On the other hand, Michael Goldsoul was riddled with burning wounds every second, but the dark aura would simply cover the wounded tissues and repair them immediately.
Essentially, the battle became a clash between the much more powerful Scarlet King and the constantly regenerating Crown Prince.
Cain's eyes glowed with golden light as he moved to the side. He evaded the Crown Prince's punch before firing a devastating counter right to the man's face, sending him flying away.
A sharp light appeared in Cain's eyes as he felt the flesh and bones of Michael's face shattering under his punch. The destroyed tissue took less than a second to heal, but that did not mean it was for nothing.
The pain of having his face burned and broken should have been overwhelming, but Michael Goldsoul kept smiling. However, a sharp light appeared in his eyes as he saw that Cain no longer chased him.
Although they had unleashed massive amounts of energy, it was not possible for Cain to have drained his energy pool in just ten minutes, so something was odd.
"You went through a True Flesh Calamity and True Bone Calamity. That is why your body and cultivation base are so strong despite being only a newly Late Divine Ascension Master."
The light in Michael Goldsoul's eyes grew sharper as he heard those words. It was not a question but an affirmation, and it was exactly right. It had not been Cain who first experienced a True Flesh Calamity and a True Bone Calamity in Gaia, but the Crown Prince of the Godslayer Humankind Empire.
