Chapter 1636: Wits and guts (I)
Karter and Lancer could barely believe their eyes as Cain’s speed overwhelmed their senses, giving them no time to react before he was already upon them.
His first target was the dragon-like Deus Behemoth, Lancer. The wingless dragon barely managed to channel energy through his body when a blazing kick struck him squarely in the abdomen.
Flames instantly erupted on impact, and Lancer coughed out a mouthful of blood before being hurled violently through the air, tumbling helplessly into the distance.
Karter, the other Third Realm Master—whose appearance deceptively resembled a child—watched the scene unfold in horror. Yet, he had no luxury to worry about his comrade, as Cain’s figure flashed forward like a phantom, his hand surging with unstoppable force toward Karter’s throat.
“BOOM!”
Just before Cain’s hand closed around Karter’s neck, the small figure exploded into countless fragments of fire, only to reappear hundreds of kilometers away.
Karter reformed shakily, gasping for breath, his eyes wide with panic as he reached up to touch his throat, finding blood trickling down from a deep cut. He had narrowly escaped death, but just barely.
Karter and Lancer exchanged stunned, despair-filled glances from afar. An overwhelming feeling of defeat and powerlessness gripped their hearts.
Although Cain had indeed taken them by surprise, they couldn’t deny the cold truth—they had been instantly and utterly outmatched. Escape now seemed impossible, especially with the forcefield restricting their power and the immense gravitational pull from the dark sphere in the sky, preventing any attempt at fleeing.
