170 Killing a Wave Champion

Orlando’s eyes widened with shock as the man in the red hood devoured the blood in his severed arm until there was not even a single drop left. Just when he thought the fight was over, a new threat appeared.

As the man in the red hood devoured the blood, the red lightning around his body grew stronger and thicker.

There was a solemn expression on Orlando’s face as he focused on the Astral Wave of the man in front of him. Although he could not accurately measure the cultivation of the man in the red hood since he lacked Ego Wave, judging by the Wave’s output, he guessed this one was a Level 7 Astral Wave Warrior.

Normally, someone at that level would not be a threat to a Wave Champion like him, but he lost his right arm, space ring, and muscular Wave Puppet. Not to mention that the chase and fight with Iris almost depleted his energy pool, and he was losing blood very fast.

“Who are you? Do you understand who you are facing? I am part of an organization even Sector Dukes do not dare to antagonize!”

Orlando hoped that his background would draw fear in the heart of the red-hooded man, but it seemed that would not be the case as the killing intent in the eyes of this one only grew stronger.

“Thump!”

A heartbeat echoed through the forest as Cain activated the First Gear, and his skin turned red. Asura Form had already become a default state for him regarding serious battles, as it exponentially enhanced his speed and the brute strength he could unleash.

Things did not end there as Cain took a deep breath and pushed his Wave Burst, which was already at a shocking 2000%, to 3000%!

.....

Wave Burst put Cain’s body under tremendous stress the more it rose. Before 2000% was his limit, but the breakthrough in the Blood Refinement Art allowed him to reach an even higher level.

Of course, a 3000% Wave Burst meant that Cain’s energy pool would deplete very fast, no matter how talented he was with his Wave Cloak, but he never intended this fight to be one of attrition.

Finally, the last upgrade in his strength came as Cain began to circulate the Blood Energy through his body and enhance his Lightning Armament. That gave Cain’s blue lightning a blood-like color.

Orlando’s eyes narrowed as he saw that massive burst in his opponent’s strength, and he set ablaze the Essence Wave in his left hand. Clearly, the man in the red hood would not leave without a fight, and trying to run would only leave his back open to more sneak attacks.

The fat Wave Puppet’s body began to tremble as it entered overdrive, growing larger and its skin turning green. Although its primary purpose was as a defensive tool, it did not mean this one could not deploy an impressive battle power.

Cain saw the burst in the strength of the Wave Puppet, and his eyes glowed with resolution. He flashed forward as his blood lightning and Astral Wave enhanced his right fist.

Orlando saw the man flashing toward him at a shocking speed, and he sent the fat Wave Puppet to attack this one, sending a palm strike that seemed capable of tearing down a small building.

The strength in the fat Wave Puppet’s palm strike was impressive, but its speed was subpar, to say the least, making it very easy for Cain to dodge it. However, he did not do it and chose to counter the palm with his fist.

“?BOOM!”

The clash between the fat Wave Puppet’s palm and Cain’s blood lightning punch generated a shock wave due to the immense power behind them.

Cain moved back three steps, and he felt his right arm trembling, but there was a smile on his face since his punch pushed back the fat Wave Puppet the same amount of steps as him.

For the first time in his life, he clashed directly with a Wave Champion that was able to deploy full power and managed to hold his ground.

It would have been easy for Cain to disappear once he left the underground city. No one could perceive him, so it would not have been a problem for him to vanish, but he chose to chase after Orlando.

There was a burning desire inside Cain’s heart to test just how powerful he had become, and he knew that only a Wave Champion could push him to unleash all his power.

A year ago, Wave Champions were legendary creatures that Cain could only look at in wonder, but now he had the power to threaten the lives of these!

Cain did not wait even a second before flashing back into the fray, charging his arms with blood-lightning and Astral Wave.

Orlando could not help but frown as he saw that the red-hooded man did not target him but his Wave Puppet. He could not believe this one did not know that the best way to fight a Puppet Master was to go after the puppeteer.

However, there was not much for Orlando to do other than carry on with the fight, using everything he had so the fat Wave Puppet could crush his enemy.

“?Boom!”

“?Boom!”

“?Boom!”

More and more shock waves echoed through the forest as palm and fist collided with a power surpassing Wave Warriors’ limits. It lasted roughly thirty seconds before Cain jumped back, putting some distance between him and the fat Wave Puppet.

Cain’s arms trembled, and his mouth had an iron taste due to the blood in it, but that did not erase his smile since he was able to decipher the fat Wave Puppet’s battle style, and that was not all.

‘System, display the information of the target.’

Usually, the [A.I. Chip Module] would have problems scanning targets stronger than Wave Warriors due to the energy defenses of these ones. Still, direct physical contact like the one deployed in a melee fight allowed the system to go through with the scan.

[Target scan successful.

Class: Wave Artifact

Type: Battle Puppet

Strength: 10.1

Speed: 4.5

Vitality: 17.2]

Cain’s eyes narrowed as he analyzed that information.

‘Other than its vitality, the rest of its stats fall into the realm of Wave Warrior. Even then, its attacks made my arms tremble.

Even with all my upgrades, it would be tough to fight a Wave Champion and come victorious.’

Cain focused on the Wave Puppet and began to walk calmly toward this one.

Orlando frowned as he saw the man in the red hood approaching the fat Wave Puppet. He felt something was wrong, especially with how this one’s body moved, waving from one side to the other.

Waiting would not help him, so Orlando made his Essence Wave burst before commanding the fat Wave Puppet to attack with all it had.

Cain smiled as he saw the Wave Puppet coming at him, full of killing might. Dozens of palm strikes came his way, but he could easily dodge them.

Virtual Sight’s accuracy improved immensely once the [A.I. Chip Module] was able to scan the target, and Cain could predict every movement of the fat Wave Puppet seconds before they happened.

Orlando saw how none of his attacks managed to land, and terror began to appear in his heart.

“?Boom!”

The old man heard a blast, but it was not his Wave Puppet’s attack the one that provoked it. It was his opponent’s left hook, the one that unleashed that shock wave and things only grew worse for the old man from that point on.

Cain had just connected a left hook, and as his body waved to the other side, he twisted it, not losing any momentum, and carried on with a right hook.

His body gained more momentum as he moved from the right to the left, dodging all the fat Wave Puppet’s palm attacks while unleashing hook after hook.

“?Boom!”

“?Boom!”

“?BOOM!”

Blast after blast echoed through the forest as Cain’s body gained more speed, and his strength increased with every single punch.

Cain had developed a technique that used the bodily control learned during his assassination training and allowed him to unleash the maximum power of his Asura Form.

Orlando could only see with shock as the fat Wave Puppet no longer carried on with his command due to the ferocious onslaught it was receiving.

Cain’s body moved so fast that it seemed it left after images and powerful gales moved around his back and arms.

“?BOOM!”

“?BOOM!”

“?BOOM!”

It did not take more than ten seconds for the fat Wave Puppet’s head to burst to pieces under the might of those punches.

Orlando could do nothing but see how his Wave Puppet fell to the ground after the red-hooded man destroyed its head. Even if it was a machine, its center of command was on its artificial brain; without it, he could not control it.

“WAIT!” Orlando was only able to utter that word before a hand covered in blood-lightning pierced its heart.

Cain saw how the light in the old man’s eyes vanished and showed no hesitation before activating the Blood Refinement Art, devouring Orlando’s blood to recover some of his stamina.

‘I have become a little strong.’ That was the only thought on Cain’s mind after killing the Wave Champion and vanishing from the forest
