Chapter 1581: The real enemy (I)
Despite Zafira being little more than a minor hindrance, the crucial moments Cain spent cutting through her gave the Night Prince just enough time to gather his energies and launch a counterattack.
“Soulstorm Obliteration!”
The Night Prince’s roar pierced the chaos. He joined sword and staff at the hilt, aiming them toward Cain. Immediately, a howling hurricane of black starlight infused with nightmare energy tore forward, billowing with overwhelming might.
Cain’s eyes narrowed. He could feel the potent mix of Star Power and Laws thrumming within the swirling gale of darkness, a testament to the Night Prince’s Astral-Essence Dual Cultivation.

A colossal explosion rocked the battlefield as black starlight collided with Cain’s blazing arc in a dazzling upheaval of heat and darkness. While Cain’s strike was marginally stronger, it wasn’t enough to gain an immediate, decisive edge. A somber look crossed his face.
