Chapter 2326: Unleashing the mask
Ideonus could not hide the shock in his eyes when he saw Cain trigger Asura Form. It did not possess the obsidian enhancement abilities unique to his lineage, yet there was no doubt it shared the same fundamental properties when it came to energy flow and speed. The power surged through Cain’s body in violent waves, his presence growing sharper and more oppressive by the second.
Even so, Ideonus did not slow down.
The native continued striking without hesitation, his movements precise and relentless. The speed of their exchange climbed to a shocking level, snow and shattered ice blasting outward with every collision.
Cain was able to keep pace, but the obsidian enhancement granted Ideonus a subtle yet critical edge. It allowed him to resist the destructive force of Sky Devourer more effectively, preventing Cain from overwhelming him outright.
After blocking a strike from Sky Devourer with his invisible sword, Ideonus twisted his body mid-motion. Obsidian energy surged into his leg, compressing and hardening it to an extreme degree. The next instant, he unleashed a devastating kick straight into Cain’s chest.
The sound of breaking bones echoed across the snowy field.
Cain’s body was blasted backward, slamming violently into the ice wall. Massive chunks of frozen crystal exploded outward as cracks spiderwebbed across its surface. Pain rippled through every inch of Cain’s body, his internal organs trembling under the force of the blow.
But Ideonus did not relent.
He leapt forward, appearing in front of Cain in an instant, and brought his sword down in a crushing strike. Cain barely managed to raise Sky Devourer in time. The clash saved him from being cleaved apart, but the sheer force still sent him crashing through the ice wall, tearing flesh and muscle as he plowed into the frozen ground beyond.
Ideonus followed immediately, diving downward with the clear intent to crush Cain’s body before he could regenerate.
