Chapter 1743: Facing the Blood Queen and the Beast God
Tania and Hercule stared in disbelief—not just at the fact that their attacks had been turned against them, but at how effortlessly it had happened. Cain hadn’t broken a sweat, and the calm confidence in his golden eyes made the entire ordeal feel more like a demonstration than a battle.
But the two warriors didn’t have time to reflect. Their own redirected energy attacks were now barreling back at them with crushing force.
The Blood Princess reacted instantly, forming a defensive cross with her rapier and greatsword, condensing layers of blood magic into a translucent shield. Simultaneously, the Titan Wolf’s body swelled with muscle and power. His bones thickened, his skin hardened like stone, and a primal growl echoed from his throat as he braced himself.
“BOOM.” “BOOM.”
Two thunderous explosions echoed across the battlefield as the redirected spells collided with them. Both Tania and Hercule were sent flying, their bodies tumbling through the air like broken weapons. Though their defenses had blunted the worst of the impact, the sheer force behind Cain’s manipulation had been devastating—especially after the energy they had already burned.
But even as their bodies ached and blood dripped from their wounds, they forced themselves upright, shaking off the damage with sheer willpower. With a roar of defiance, they returned to the fight.
This time, a blood moon and a silver moon appeared behind their heads, ancient symbols of their divine patrons. The surge of divine power magnified their energy pools and physical strength exponentially, their auras expanding like twin suns rising on the battlefield.
Cain watched with quiet approval, his smile unbroken.
“I have to give it to them—they’re tenacious.”
And then, his form began to shift.
Dark plasma ignited around him as his skin cracked and reformed, revealing his true Neo-Demon form. He rose to five meters tall, his body covered in obsidian exoskeleton plating. Horns curled from his forehead, glowing with infernal runes. His golden eyes burned brighter, and his voice carried a faint demonic echo.
