Chapter 2464: The Path of the Asura
Of course, stabilizing his condition and truly healing were very different matters, and his absence from the battlefield would inevitably raise suspicion.
After all, there was a limit to the influence the Power of Chaos could exert over the Blutlinie of the Dark Blood Kingdom. They were not his allies. At their core, they were observers, watching his every move with quiet caution.
Even if none of them had witnessed the battle directly, the tremor produced by the clash between the Scarlet King and Aerion had certainly reached them.
Yet Cain did not lose focus.
He had left Satan behind to maintain order, sure that the Royal Guard would keep the situation under control. Even if General Fausto and the others learned of Cain’s disappearance, he was confident that once his plan was complete, everything would fall back into place.
More and more vitality flowed from the Ocean of the Blood Sun into Cain’s body, steadily restoring his wounds. Royal Blutlinie possessed incredibly powerful bodies and wielded innate strength that surpassed even that of the Primordial Race. However, the same uniqueness that made them formidable also made their injuries exceptionally difficult to heal.
There was not a single recorded case of a Royal Blutlinie dying of old age, and very few fell in a single battle. What claimed them was the accumulated damage of a lifetime of endless bloodshed, the countless scars that slowly eroded their strength over centuries.
Cain had no intention of sharing that fate.
That was why he devoted himself completely to the healing process, carefully restoring every torn muscle, every fractured bone, every microscopic wound that could one day become a weakness.
Two days later, Cain released a long breath. A wide smile appeared on his face as he felt strength coursing through his body once more.
He was not fully healed yet, but he had recovered enough to unleash the full might of his body and soul.
And that would prove extremely useful for the next part of his plan.
