Chapter 925: Eternal sleep
Cain's eyes widened as he saw the massive metallic entity appear before him, sending a palm strike full of white flames. The strike clashed with the dark energy shield protecting his body, but within seconds, it would break through and land on him.
The young didn't know where he was or why this strange entity was attacking him. Everything was blurry, and his mind was filled with confusion, as he did not even know why he was fighting. Even his own name had faded.
Luckily for Cain, his instincts had yet to vanish, and they allowed him to react, urging him to kill the entity in front of him and not let those white flames touch him.
"DIE!" With a primordial shout of hatred and rage, Cain charged all his Fallen Aura into the Spear of Doom, instinctively triggering the Wrath of the Nine Hells!
Horus' golden eyes narrowed as awe and dread appeared in them. He could feel that the young man's mind should be on the brink of collapse by now, unable to form coherent thoughts. Yet Cain managed to trigger that killing strike, showing willpower and battle instincts that were nothing short of monstrous.
The Spear of Doom flashed toward Horus with a concentrated energy beam of seven powerful flames capable of leaving deadly wounds. The armor restricted his body's true power immensely, and severe damage could end his life.
Despite the danger, there wasn't a shred of hesitation in Horus' eyes as he carried on with his attack since Cain's resolution, willpower, and determination only awakened a monstrous killing intent in the true leader of Dark Sky.
Horus' right palm shatters the Aegis of the Fallen protecting Cain, while the left one deviated the spear so that it would land on his abdomen instead of his heart.
"ZNNNNN!" "¡BOOM!"
The Spear of Doom, enhanced by the Wrath of the Nine Hells, pierced into Horus' stomach, leaving a large hole in the body of the Grand Humanoid of Dark Sky. At the same time, a palm strike landed point-blank on Cain's forehead, allowing the power of the white flames to reach his memories.
The palm strike pushed Cain back a few thousand meters, making him rip the spear from inside Horus' body, worsening the wounds in the Grand Humanoid of Dark Sky to the point that he could barely stand in the air.
However, while that exchange essentially crippled Horus, the effect on Cain was even worse. The red light in the young man's eyes, trembling non-stop since the start of this clash, vanished. Inside his soul sea, his Alter-Ego, the Sun Seed, had lost radiance, leaving it as nothing more than an empty vessel void of will and ego!
