Chapter 2392: The death of the Scarlet King (V)
"There must be something I can do... something that takes me out of this place..."
Cain’s eyes burned as he used everything he had to search for a way out, but no answer came. The worst part was that every second that went by without him finding a way through this ordeal, his situation became exponentially worse.
Every moment that passed without a solution made him older, his lifespan shortening at an alarming rate.
And finally, as the seventh day arrived, the Scarlet King collapsed to the ground, his legs no longer able to endure the weight of his own body.
Age had begun to take its toll on his physical capabilities and energy. His strength was fading rapidly, and surviving a journey through the World Forge under the brutal rampage of the Universe Will had become impossible.
"I... lost."
Cain’s voice trembled as emptiness swallowed his thoughts. Every path, every idea, every desperate possibility was consumed by an overwhelming darkness that threatened to devour him whole.
"BOY!"
Just as everything seemed lost, as hope shattered completely, the voice of the System Spirit echoed within his mind, striking him with a force that jolted him back to reality.
Apex could feel the eyes peering through the cracks in the massive gate behind him, their pressure suffocating, warning him that he should not intervene.
The intent was clear. If Cain could not find the asnwer on his own, he should die alone.
However, the System Spirit’s gaze remained firm as he spoke.
