Chapter 980: Descendants
Cain's eyes soon focused on a beautiful woman with red hair and green eyes. Her entire body carried potent vitality and immense force. She was with a group of hundreds of old masters, all working on complex runes.
A small smile appeared on Cain's face as he saw Shura's focus and dedication. The young woman had decided to turn her attention from the battlefield to rune crafting after the Codex of Infinite Pathways assessment, which marked her as talented in that field.
Although Shura had never had much interest in professions, a sense of determination and purpose had arisen as she pursued this path. She knew she could never follow Cain on the battlefield but did not want to be just a mere decoration next to the mighty Scarlet King. So she immersed herself in runes, and her hard work paid off.
After a few months of hard work, her skills rose significantly, and she could discuss with the most advanced runemasters of Aether.
Cain's eyes sharpened as he gazed inside Shura's body and saw how her Essence Star had different runic marks and was constantly emitting runic energy. Clearly, the young woman had channeled her cultivation base to Rune Crafting, showing the absolute resolution in her soul to follow that path.
Cain's smile widened as he nodded. After their saga together, the young woman had already obtained a piece of his heart when she risked her life for him more than once. She did not need to be a great warrior for him to love her. However, everybody needed a purpose, a path they could follow, and he was delighted she found hers.
After that, Cain turned his eyes toward another woman. Her gorgeous face, white skin, and pointy ears gave her an elfish charm. That young woman was none other than Astrid, the Atrox with whom he spent months during his time in the Kronos Continent.
Unlike Shura, whose relationship burst due to intense moments, his connection with the young Atrox started slow. Back then, Cain's Power of Order was at its peak, and calling him an emotionless psychopath would not have been wrong, yet slowly, she was able to reach him.
Unlike all the other masters, Astrid was alone. The reason was that she was the only Tribulation Enhancement master present. That profession was still very new and had yet to spread across Aether, and Cain had not had time to look for more with the war against Dark Sky going on.
Astrid did not seem to care about solitude. Her eyes focused solely on the magic formulations before her and the 21 Revolution Flames growing above her hand.
Cain could not help but be surprised by the young woman's abilities. Her talent in Tribulation Enhancement had already been superb the first time she stepped foot in the [Samsara Arsenal Module]'s First Layer. Yet, with the help of the Codex of Infinite Pathways, she had reached a whole new level.
'The Peak of the Wave King Rank, and she can already create Revolution Flame at the peak of the Saint Tier. Once she opens her Inner World using the power of Tribulation Enhancement, her talent could surpass mine.' A wide smile appeared on Cain's face, and he was happy to see Astrid had also found her path.
