Chapter 1818: Running away?
It took merely a fraction of a second for Cain’s eyes to sharpen, clarity surging within his mind as he quickly assessed the dire predicament before him. There was neither fear nor hesitation; only the cold precision born from a lifetime of battle and survival remained.
Without faltering, the Neo-Demon raised his sword, Sky Devourer, high into the air and swung it decisively toward the newly emerged group of Prima Deities ascending from the Eternal Kingdom of the Lord of Ages.
Those powerful Late-Stage Prima Deities, beings who could normally withstand and overcome nearly any assault, found themselves unexpectedly halted.
Cain’s strike unleashed an immense wave of destructive energy, spreading across the battlefield like an unstoppable tidal wave of ruin. Though powerful, its widespread nature diluted its lethality. Nevertheless, it forced the new reinforcements into defensive postures, urgently casting their strongest protective spells just to resist the fierce bombardment.
Immediately, the eyes of the Prima Deities sharpened with wary caution. They had learned of the demise of the Star Man, their former comrade, at the hands of Cain. They recognized the Neo-Demon’s threat clearly: to underestimate him was to risk not only their lives but even their True Names.
Anticipating a reckless, unstoppable monster who personified sheer destruction, the Prima Deities braced for the inevitable clash, every muscle and fiber of their beings tense with readiness.
Yet what unfolded next defied all expectation, stunning friend and foe alike.
Instead of plunging fearlessly into the enemy ranks as anticipated, Cain did something utterly inconceivable—he turned and appeared to flee from the field of battle.
A wave of disbelief rippled through the battlefield. Never had any Prima Deity envisioned Cain, renowned for his ruthless determination and fearless ferocity, as one who would abandon his comrades and run, especially abandoning Meylin, his trusted partner.
