Chapter 2399: A group of killers
"He was able to detect my presence."
Cain could not help but feel a flicker of genuine interest. Despite the leader’s brutal appearance—his towering frame, jagged armor of living flesh, and the savage aura rolling off him—the man carried a wisdom and perception that far surpassed his ferocity.
"Dangerous."
Cain paused for a moment, gathering his will. Then, without hesitation, his voice echoed across the crimson sea.
"Who are you," he demanded coldly, "and why do you dare to interfere with my cultivation!?"
His voice was sharp and merciless, carrying an immense amount of power and pressure. The words reverberated through the sky itself, compressing the air and shaking the blood ocean beneath. The weaker warriors in the group instantly paled; several staggered back, vomiting blood as their organs rebelled against the sheer weight of Cain’s presence.
From everything Cain had observed so far, diplomacy or politeness would only be perceived as weakness by these entities. Hesitation invited attack, like predators circling blood in the water.
This universe respected strength alone!
Yet despite the overwhelming pressure, the leader did not react with blind hostility. On the contrary, his posture steadied. His gaze sharpened, and Cain could tell the man had recognized something important.
That Cain was not prey.
"I am Amaro," the giant replied, his voice booming with power that almost seemed to match Cain’s own. The surface of the blood ocean rippled violently as he spoke. "General of the Kalous Kingdom, from the Great City of Kalous."
His eyes burned with cold authority as he continued, "The Ocean of the Blood Sun belongs to the Kalous Kingdom. You are an intruder. And you have stolen from us."
