Chapter 214 Killing a Middle Wave Champion Beast (I)
214 Killing a Middle Wave Champion Beast (I)
"My current strength allows me to lead a team that can face hordes with a small number of Middle Wave Champion Beasts. Good."
Only Antony and William could surpass Cain in battle strength in the entire military force in Blade Mountain. Uriel was also very strong, but the pressure of this mission and lack of resources had pushed back the young man's cultivation, and he remained a Level 9 Wave Warrior for the moment.
"System, give a list of every soldier capable of enduring the onslaught of an Early Wave Champion Beast for an entire minute without assistance.
Exclude Uriel, the Vice-Captains working with him, and every soldier in their squads."
Although ignoring ten percent of the military force would reduce the number of soldiers available, Cain would not pick people he did not trust for a mission where a single wrong step could lead to catastrophic casualties.
The Absolute Life Form System had already scanned every single one of the thousands of soldiers fighting beside Cain, so it was able to do that analysis. It took around five minutes before a list with one hundred and seventy-eight names appeared in Cain's mind.
Cain was slightly surprised to see that Levi, Orin, and Lumir were among those capable of facing an Early Wave Champion Beast. As he analyzed their stats, he saw that the trio had already become Level 7, and their foundation was very strong. If they kept their momentum, there was a high chance they could reach Flawless Marrow or Deep Basic Law Understanding.
He was even more amazed when he saw that Levi had generated a secondary energy pool similar to his Blood Energy and that the strength stat of this one surpassed his. '¿A Saint Technique?'
Cain was still much stronger than Levi, but it was clear that the young man from the Hellblazer Family had found some lucky chances.
"Good. I will take the trio into my team."
Using the system aide, Cain formed three massive teams with over fifty people each. The leaders will be he, Antony, and William, and they will separate from the main force and hunt down packs composed of Wave Champion Beasts.
Remaining with the main force would only slow them down now that there were no thousands of weak Wave Beasts around them.
Cain did not waste time and sent the command soon after, ensuring everything was in order. All the soldiers received Cain's message through their A.I. Chips and instructions on how to proceed. The ones whose names were mentioned felt their blood burning. The wealth they would gain would be amazing, not to mention that fighting Wave Champion Beasts would push them beyond their limit. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Of course, everybody knew that the mission would be extremely dangerous, but Cain's name in the order extinguished all those worries.
As for the ones that would not participate in the mission, Cain commanded them to maintain order in the area. That was a fancy way of saying they could spend their days inside the encampment using the extremely dense Life Wave that soaked the air to cultivate.
By the time the first ray of sunlight appeared in the sky, Cain, Antony, and William were already outside the encampment with their forces in formation behind them. Although William and Antony were stronger than Cain, the soldiers that ended up in their teams could not help but look at Levi, Orin, Lumir, and the others with envy. William and Antony glanced at each other as they noticed that, but they could only shake their head and show awkward smiles. None of them could deny that Cain had an aura that made it seem there was no problem great enough that could surpass him. Cain took a deep breath as his eyes grew sharp. A powerful Blood Lightning covered his figure the next second as he dashed forward, followed by the entire force.
The three groups remained together, as they would only split once Cain gave the signal.
Cain's eyes glowed with red light as the full power of his Ego Wave flooded the mountain. He used his mastery over Free Ego to make the red force field invisible so as not to warn the Wave Champion Beasts.
After a few minutes, his eyes narrowed and focused on three different points. They were far away so as not to incite incursion from other packs but close enough so that the military groups could come to assist in case any problem could occur.
Antony and William received a message through their A.I. Chips, and the next second, they took the soldiers under their command and moved to the left and right, respectively.
The soldiers under Cain did not know where those two would go, but it did not matter. Their mission was to follow Cain, and nothing else mattered.
Cain's aura kept rising higher and higher as the Blood Lightning and Astral Wave around his body generated a thick layer.
"Charge into that place!"
All the soldiers heard Cain's voice in their minds as he commanded them to enter a large cave five hundred meters ahead, only to see him vanish the next second.
The leader's disappearance could rock the mind of most soldiers, but the ones that were part of this group had absolute trust in Cain's power and intellect.
Levi and two Level 9 Vice-Captain were the first to enter the cave. There was a radiant sun in the sky, so the place was full of light, making it easy for the trio to see the twenty-three Early Wave Champion Beasts inside.
And if that was not enough, there was an even mightier beast at the back of the pack.
"PAWOOOO!" The sound of an elephant trumpeting emerged from the back of the cave, and the entire force could see a massive beast nearly three meters tall with dark silver skin.
It was a Silver-Heart Elephant, and its mere trumpeting generated a sonic blast that almost sent the soldiers flying away.
All the soldiers could feel Silver-Heart Elephant's aura, and it was clear the beast had already become a Middle Wave Champion Beast, maybe even stronger than the Lightning-Fall Mantis.
Just as the massive Silver-Heart Elephant was ready to march forward, a figure covered in Blood Lightning appeared out of nowhere next to its face.
The Middle Wave Champion Beast was shocked, and before it could do anything, the humanoid figure landed a devastating blow on its right eye, making it explode.
