Chapter 21: Cain's Scheme
Ear-shattering sounds of piercing air came from above, as the 270 Sun Flame Dragons brought by Su Xiao began diving down one after another, crashing toward Kara.
The reason for this choice was that Kara's homing living missiles were troublesome, and given the flight speed of the Sun Flame Dragons, there was absolutely no way to launch a surprise attack.
In other words, if they were to surround and attack, the 270 Sun Flame Dragons might not even get close enough to breathe dragon flame on Kara before being blasted to death by her living missiles or biological heavy cannons.
Since that was the case, Su Xiao thought of another method. He issued a command to the 270 Sun Flame Dragons: first fly up tens of thousands of meters into the sky, then dive down, using every possible means to accelerate, and before crashing into Kara, concentrate the solar energy within their bodies.
Su Xiao didn't think this method would kill Kara, but as long as she was weakened to a certain extent, with his current dragon knight form, his chances of victory were high.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosive sounds continued. Kara, with her massive body, had most of her torso exposed above the lake water. Living missiles flew out from the holes on her back, turned around, and met the diving Sun Flame Dragons.
Flames formed almost a barrier above the lake, but it was clear that Kara's firepower was being suppressed by the diving explosions of the Sun Flame Dragons one after another.
With a crackling sound, a beam of scarlet laser several meters thick shot out from Kara's single eye, sweeping upward. The Sun Flame Dragons along its path all crystallized, losing their diving accuracy and crashing into the lake water near Kara, producing a series of explosions.
When the 137th Sun Flame Dragon exploded after diving, the missile defense formed by Kara was finally breached. Two Sun Flame Dragons immediately charged through the gap, crashing into Kara and exploding.
Boom! Boom!
After two explosions, Sun Flame enveloped most of Kara's body. The living missiles that had been firing nonstop paused, ceasing their launch.
Seeing this, Su Xiao, on the dragon's back, pointed his lightning spear downward. At the same time, the Sun Flame Dragons still diving down had crimson-gold patterns appearing all over their bodies, as if they were about to ignite.
Taking advantage of this brief opening in Kara's defense, Su Xiao controlled the Sun Flame Dragons one by one, like massive cannonballs falling from the sky, bombarding Kara in succession.
Deafening explosions came one after another. Waves of air pressure scattered, the lake water churned, and Kara was completely submerged in the diving explosions of the Sun Flame Dragons.
Witnessing this scene, Cain and his group in hiding all had the illusion that Kara might just die like this.
After the continuous Sun Dragon bombardment ended, translucent flames burned on the lake surface. Large pieces of biological armor fragments floated on the water, gradually burning away. Kara was nowhere to be seen, as if she had been blown to death.
Was Kara really that easy to kill? Of course not. One thing was the same as Su Xiao had predicted: Kara was constantly evolving.
This information was thanks to Empire Hand·Lyon·Gode. He had clashed with Kara before and provided the intelligence that initially, using orbital cannons on Kara would cause her quite serious injuries. But after Kara's wounds healed quickly and she took a few more orbital cannon shots, Lyon·Gode found that the damage Kara sustained continued to weaken.
This indicated that some ability of Kara's allowed her to continuously adapt to the characteristics of attacks while being injured. The current situation was the same: after enduring the diving explosions of 270 Sun Flame Dragons, even if Kara was a world-class creature, she should have died.
The problem was that after enduring multiple explosions, Kara's resistance in this regard surged, naturally causing the subsequent damage she took to become smaller and smaller.
The lake surface, which had just calmed down, was pushed up as Kara stood up again, causing water to spill everywhere. After a long and deep roar, Kara stood up. Her biological armor was covered in cracks, ravines crisscrossing. Of her eight arms, two with hands were still intact. Of the remaining six heavy cannon arms, four were scrapped, either blown off at the root or hanging brokenly.
Not only that, more than a third of the living missile launch holes on Kara's back were blown out. More critically, her health had dropped to 65.72%.
Even after such a bombardment, Kara's health was still above 60%. She was truly too tough.
Many things in this world were fair. For example, Kara, although she posed a great threat to cities or large residential areas, if she wanted to kill a strong individual who refused to confront her head-on, Kara basically had no way to do so.
Of course, if an individual strongman wanted to kill Kara, it would be equally difficult. Without sufficient preparation, it was truly possible to be unable to break through her defenses.
Now, Su Xiao had made sufficient preparations. Kara had withstood the explosions of over 200 Sun Flame Dragons. She appeared unmovable as a mountain, but her external defenses were no longer as astonishing.
Wind brushed past his ears. Su Xiao controlled Barbatos to glide almost close to the lake surface. He was now at an oblique angle behind Kara. Kara seemed dazed from the explosions, her brain definitely buzzing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have forgotten to use her perception shockwave and instead followed instinct, using her huge single eye to scan the front, searching for the enemy's location.
Crackle~
A spark of lightning arced over the lightning spear in Su Xiao's hand. The next moment, thunder roared across the sky.
Boom!!
A bolt of World Thunder crashed down, striking Kara. Her massive body trembled violently from the electricity. The World Thunder spread through the lake water, producing a sizzling, eerie sound.
Had Su Xiao reached the level where he could control World Thunder at will? Of course not. He had merely used the lightning spear in his hand to guide the World Thunder.
After making the initial guidance of the World Thunder, Su Xiao immediately cut off the connection, letting the World Thunder strike randomly.
The targets most likely to be struck by lightning at the scene were Su Xiao in his dragon knight form and Kara.
Ask yourself, was it easier for Kara, over 300 meters tall with her lower body submerged in the lake, to be struck by lightning, or for Su Xiao, riding Barbatos at a lower altitude?
The answer was obvious. As the saying goes, tall trees catch the wind. At Kara's height, if the World Thunder didn't prioritize striking her, it would be a travesty of heaven.
Moreover, World Thunder was connected to the world, luck, karma, and such. If it were a normal Kara, there was no need to think about it. After guiding down the World Thunder, with Su Xiao's 'extremely fortunate' luck, if he wasn't struck by lightning, it would mean the World Consciousness had aimed wrong.
But now, Kara was no longer entirely a world-class creature. She was being eroded by Nether power. In comparison, the World Thunder would definitely strike her.
As soon as one bolt of World Thunder struck, Su Xiao immediately guided a second. Sure enough, the second bolt of World Thunder, as if equipped with its own navigation, struck Kara directly on the head.
As if feeling it wasn't enough, the third bolt of World Thunder didn't even need Su Xiao to guide it; it struck down on its own.
"Roar!!"
Kara was enraged. She raised her two remaining heavy cannon giant arms, gathered energy, and fired into the sky. Living missiles flew from her back, also attacking the high altitude.
After a series of explosions, Kara seemed to finally remember that she had a perception shockwave.
Boom~
A shockwave swept across the lake surface, passing over Su Xiao and Barbatos.
The next second, Kara raised a heavy cannon giant arm, aiming at Yue Shitu and Hao Mei, who were recording in the reeds by the lake.
"??"
Yue Shitu was dumbfounded. She wanted to complain: you don't blast the dragon knight behind you, but you blast us watching from the shore eating melons? No wonder you deserve to be struck by lightning.
"Oh crap!"
Hao Mei, seeing the slight panic in Yue Shitu's eyes, hugged her from behind around the waist. Due to the height difference, Hao Mei had to lower herself deliberately, making Yue Shitu a bit taller, and then performed a friendly backward suplex, causing Yue Shitu's head to hit the ground. Miraculously, Hao Mei and Yue Shitu immediately disappeared and reappeared a hundred meters away. Although this move looked a bit strange, it was a skill to save teammates.
The biological heavy cannon blasted through, directly evaporating the wetland by the lake. A large hole was blasted into the mountain behind, as neatly cut as if by a tunnel boring machine.
The reason Kara blasted at Yue Shitu and Hao Mei's side was, theoretically, the correct operation.
Hao Mei had World Thunder abilities, and her blood was rare thunder snow. Therefore, in Kara's judgment, the World Thunder was attracted by Hao Mei. As for Su Xiao in his dragon knight form behind, he was also enduring the World Thunder, not controlling it, so the World Thunder was unlikely to be attracted by Su Xiao.
This showed that Kara had sobered up quite a bit from being struck by lightning, even able to judge the situation. Unfortunately, Su Xiao's method of handling World Thunder was unconventional. He relied entirely on his lightning resistance to endure, which was like injuring the enemy by 800 while losing 60 himself.
After a heavy cannon blast drove Hao Mei away, Kara finally focused her attention on Su Xiao in his dragon knight form.
Kara's giant arm scooped up a large amount of lake water, which splashed toward Su Xiao. Due to the strong kinetic energy, these water droplets came like countless needles.
With a crackling sound, the lightning spear swept horizontally, deflecting the water droplets, which scattered into mist.
Kara, standing in the lake, faced off against Su Xiao in his dragon knight form. Although there was a huge difference in size, their auras were almost equal.
Su Xiao slightly raised his head to look at Kara ahead, as if an invisible pressure was bearing down on him.
Zzzt~
A laser several meters thick came from an oblique angle above. Su Xiao immediately controlled Barbatos to dodge by tilting its wings. The scarlet laser barely grazed past Su Xiao.
Barbatos's flight speed suddenly increased significantly. The wind pressure made Su Xiao squint his eyes, his body slightly lowered. Barbatos flew in an arc, trying to circle around to Kara's oblique rear.
A whistling sound came from ahead. Several living missiles entered Su Xiao's perception range. He swept his lightning spear horizontally, sending out a fan-shaped wave of lightning spear light, exploding the incoming living missiles.
The shockwave from the explosion hit. Su Xiao immediately controlled Barbatos to turn, flying upward through the gaps between Kara's giant arms, aiming for Kara's head.
Explosions came from behind, as Kara's own living missiles hit her giant arms that she couldn't dodge in time.
Once in close range, Kara's self-defense methods seemed to be only the homing living missiles. Su Xiao was using this to maneuver against Kara.
Kara's giant arms flailed wildly but couldn't touch Barbatos, who was flying around her. Instead, she was repeatedly hit by her own living missiles.
Another bolt of World Thunder fell from the sky, causing Kara's body to shake, losing a chunk of health. If the current situation could be maintained, Su Xiao would surely win.
Unfortunately, when detecting Kara's information earlier, only 17.2% of the data was obtained. This was thanks to the Primordial Mask. Detection equipment was completely useless against Kara, leaving many of her abilities unknown.
After repeatedly swinging her giant arms without harming Su Xiao, Kara finally became completely enraged. She suddenly stopped in place, and a green light lit up in the center of her chest, becoming increasingly dazzling.
Su Xiao immediately controlled Barbatos to retreat, but Kara's ability had no warning when used, almost like an instant ability.
Su Xiao only felt an impact from his left side, and then a buzzing sound in his ears, as if countless chaotic consciousnesses were invading him. It was a feeling that if he gave up resistance, he could enjoy eternal peace, with no more pain, no more death, everything returning to the depths of the Nether.
!
Su Xiao's eyes suddenly opened, breaking free from that illusory beauty. This wasn't mental control or seduction, but a kind of erosion. As a Blade Grandmaster with high soul strength, Su Xiao resisted it before the erosion could take hold.
The surrounding temperature was very high, bubbles rose, and Su Xiao had fallen into the lake. He stepped on Barbatos beneath him. Barbatos, whose vertical pupils were lifeless, suddenly regained consciousness. Its wings spread, and it rushed out of the water.
Water droplets dripped from Su Xiao's hair ends. He looked at Kara a hundred meters away. His whole body was in severe pain, his bones felt like they were falling apart, obviously from being slapped into the lake by Kara's big hand just now.
The risk of getting close to Kara was too high. The good news was that after the series of attacks just now, the launch holes for living missiles on Kara's back were almost completely destroyed.
Su Xiao clasped his hands together, interlocking his fingers. Over 85% of his blood energy erupted. This eruption was completely different from before. The blood energy first spread outward, then suddenly converged back, forming a phantom around him that resembled both a human and a beast. The inspiration for this came from the Susanoo in the Naruto World.
The blood energy phantom was about 10 meters tall. Its form resembled the fierce beast·Fei, with an upper body like a human. Its left hand was a ferocious beast claw, with bone spurs protruding from the left elbow, scales growing on the arm. The right arm was a human arm, but the hand only had a thumb, index finger, and middle finger, no ring finger or little finger.
After the blood energy phantom was constructed, it protected Su Xiao, who was on Barbatos's back. A stream of soul energy drifted out from Su Xiao's body.
A long time ago, Su Xiao had obtained a scroll named 「Soul Scythe·Shadow」, which was the Soul Scythe form. It was an ability that could only be mastered after mastering Soul Severing Shadow.
Su Xiao hadn't fully understood this ability yet. The structure of the Soul Scythe was very intricate, but he had grasped the general principle. The Soul Scythe form used soul energy to construct a weapon, then used this soul weapon made of one's own soul power to form a soul core, and finally embedded it into the soul plate of Soul Severing Shadow, becoming one of its characteristics.
The Soul Scythe form conflicted somewhat with Su Xiao's existing Speed Soul Core, but the principle of this ability benefited him greatly.
What he was doing now was using soul power to construct a weapon, which would also form a giant bow for the blood energy phantom.
Barbatos soared in the sky, dodging Kara's biological heavy cannons and living missiles below. On its back, the blood energy phantom had already constructed a giant bow with soul power. This bow had the translucency of soul energy and the blood-red color of blood energy, appearing completely solid.
Don't underestimate this weapon. Its attack power was boosted by both Su Xiao's soul strength and blood energy. Moreover, the arrow it was about to shoot was also very powerful.
Su Xiao released the lightning spear in his hand. The lightning spear flew up and was grasped by the blood energy phantom's single hand.
The blood energy phantom's scaly hand claw held the giant bow, while the other hand held the lightning spear.
Crack, crack, crack~
The blood energy phantom drew the bowstring, aiming the lightning spear tip at Kara below, adjusting the aim slightly as Barbatos flew.
Kara below immediately sensed the danger. She awkwardly raised her arms to block in front of her, because she sensed that if she was hit by the lightning spear, it would punch a big hole straight through her. If it hit a critical position like the head, Kara would either die or be left with half a life.
Cain and Silver Pheasant, watching from the shadows, were still relatively calm, but the members of the Valhalla behind them all had expressions of utter shock. They never thought Su Xiao would confront Kara head-on, but now this situation had appeared. What made their jaws drop even more was that Kara seemed a bit scared.
On the dragon's back, Su Xiao's gaze was locked on Kara below. He had Barbatos circle around Kara, looking for a shooting angle. When Barbatos flew at full speed to the opposite side of Kara, Su Xiao controlled the blood energy phantom to release the bowstring.
Bang!!
An air explosion spread from the dragon's back. The lightning spear broke through a series of air explosions, pierced through the left side of Kara's torso, leaving a hole that clearly showed the other side.
Dark purple blood scattered. Kara was pushed back dozens of meters. The living missiles she launched couldn't intercept the lightning spear at all. The combination of blood shadow + soul bow + lightning spear was not only fast but also extremely destructive and penetrating.
After firing this shot, Su Xiao's mind went blank for a moment. For the first time in a long while, he felt soul fatigue in battle. The soul giant bow was indeed powerful, but its consumption was too great.
At most two shots, no more. Confirming this, the remaining World Thunder on Su Xiao's hand crackled, and he began to attract lightning.
Heavenly thunder crashed down, caught by the tall blood energy phantom in its hand, forming a lightning spear. Drawing the bow, pulling the string, shooting the arrow—the whole set of actions was completed in one smooth motion.
Bang!!
The bowstring vibrated. The soul giant bow was so powerful that it directly shattered the blood energy phantom. The soul giant bow also cracked apart, reverting to soul energy and merging back into Su Xiao's body, causing double vision in the scene before him.
The lightning spear pierced through the interception of living missiles, pierced through the counterattack of the heavy cannon, and even pierced through the laser shot from Kara's single eye, finally plunging into the giant eye, exploding Kara's huge head.
Kara's body, with its head shattered, leaned back. Just as everyone thought this giant monster was about to die, a huge single eye opened in the center of its torso.
World Thunder fell, forming a lightning spear in Su Xiao's hand. He controlled Barbatos to dive at full speed at an oblique angle. This was the last chance.
Su Xiao and Barbatos seemed to transform into a giant lightning spear, fiercely plunging into the huge single eye on Kara's chest.
Kara's body shook. Her shattered head regenerated rapidly. She raised her head and roared. Her giant hand grabbed Barbatos, whose head was buried in her chest, and pulled it out. In a very violent manner, she squeezed Barbatos almost into a ball, then threw this dragon ball into the lake water.
Kara, now mostly awake, felt immense satisfaction. This 'annoying fly' had been buzzing around her for so long, and she had finally caught it.
After Barbatos fell into the water, the surface quickly turned red with blood, and then there was no movement.
Underwater, the bundle of potions tied inside Barbatos's stomach broke. With its war creature physique, the alchemical potions, along with the nourishment of bio-energy, allowed its body to quickly stretch out. The broken bones were roughly corrected, but many positions had grown misaligned. It would need major repairs back home.
After recovering roughly from its injuries, Barbatos didn't rush out of the water to assist Su Xiao, who had just entered Kara's body. Its dragon wings spread slightly, and like a large, elegant underwater creature, it swam away into the distance.
On the lake surface, the wound on Kara's chest was healing. Inside the flesh space within, Su Xiao crouched in the darkness. It seemed he had gained the advantage, being inside the enemy's body, but one hidden danger had yet to emerge.
At the same time, behind a distant earthen slope, Yue Shitu, whose neck was now in a cast, was either possessed by a field reporter spirit or something, still controlling a mechanical eye to record the battle.
"Silly master, run quickly!"
Xian Lulu appeared, grabbing Yue Shitu's hair with its cat paw, but Yue Shitu caught it first.
"Run what? We're not participating in the battle."
Yue Shitu comforted Xian Lulu, patting its head.
"That sand sculpture that's been lurking nearby has already run away."
Xian Lulu's tone was extremely anxious.
"Sand sculpture? What sand sculpture?"
"It's that one called Baha. Last time I attached to Big Daddy... ahem~, to Kukulin Bai Ye, I recorded the residual aura of that sand sculpture. It ran off in that direction just a few seconds ago."
Hearing this, Yue Shitu's heart skipped a beat. She had interacted with Baha quite a bit and knew very well that even if that demon hawk died, it wouldn't abandon Kukulin Bai Ye in battle. Now that Kukulin Bai Ye was inside Kara, that sand sculpture had actually run away.
Yue Shitu turned to Hao Mei and said very seriously, "We need to run quickly."
...
Thump, thump, thump!
Kara pounded her chest with her giant arms. Large amounts of acidic mist drifted out from her wounds. This was her internal defense measure, trying to eliminate Su Xiao this way.
The situation was deadlocked. To others, Su Xiao's black dragon mount had died. If he rushed out of Kara's body, he would have to retreat temporarily.
Inside a mountain in the shadows, Cain, judging this situation, narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming more dangerous. He wouldn't do things that hurt others without benefiting himself, but if hurting others could benefit himself, he was willing to do it.
He actually had two goals this time. After accumulating intelligence for so long, he had gathered the following information: first, Su Xiao could develop the insect race because he had a permanent summon named Jila.
This gave Cain an opportunity. His idea was that if Su Xiao died in battle, Jila would become an ownerless summon. If he set things up carefully enough and controlled this insect race mother named Jila as his summon, then he would have effectively replaced Su Xiao, becoming the third faction in this world.
In Cain's view, since he had already made an enemy of Su Xiao, deepening the hatred didn't matter.
The previous situation seemed like Cain was leading his people to wait for a chance to snatch the kill reward from Kara. In reality, Cain was taking a casual attitude toward that. His real goal was to eliminate Su Xiao and seize ownership of the Sun Nest. That was what he valued most. There was no chance before, but now there was.
"Bai Ye, you're in a tough battle. You... need assistance."
Saying this, Cain took out a communicator, pressed the call button, and said, "Release the dogs."
As soon as Cain finished speaking, an explosion came from behind the continuous mountains. A passage to an underground space was blown open, and countless 「Horned Hounds」 rushed out.
These were very low-quality imitation insect race individuals, not bred by an insect race mother nest, but mass-produced test subjects from a company. A simple comparison was that just over a hundred elite demon beasts could slaughter tens of thousands of these horned hounds.
Cain and his group walked out from the mountain space where they were hiding. They stood on a cliff, looking out at the lake and Kara ahead. On their left and right, horned hounds were rushing out.
All of this was Cain's setup. He had received word earlier that Su Xiao was going to deal with Kara, which gave him the idea of seizing the Sun Nest.
Cain had prepared two plans. On one side, he would kill Su Xiao. On the other, he had already sent a top-tier eighth-rank assassination team, concentrating all the team's equipment and items that enhanced stealth characteristics onto that three-person assassination squad. Their mission was to capture Jila alive.
Here at 「Gaoze Lake」, Cain's method of killing Su Xiao wasn't to ambush him, but rather to 'assist' him in battle.
Now, Su Xiao was inside Kara's body, locked in a stalemate with her. Earlier, Cain had bought intelligence about Kara, learning about her World Favor ability. After learning this, Cain bought 70,000 horned hounds from a company member who sold intelligence.
Cain's goal was to make Kara trigger the full effect of 「World Favor」. When the number of surrounding enemies exceeded 500, 1000, and 50,000, Kara would gain three buffs: 「Recover 5% of maximum health every 3 seconds」, 「Crystallization Ray interval reduced by 65%」, and 「External Armor Defense Rank +2」.
Combined with Kara's own abilities, she now had 「External Armor Defense Rank +4」, which had reached an unbreakable level. Coupled with Kara's ultra-fast injury recovery, Su Xiao would surely be trapped and killed inside Kara's body.
Cain's move was perfectly timed. Of course, to achieve this, he paid a full 30,000 Soul Coins to his partner from the company.
At first glance, Cain seemed sure to win. But there was a very important issue: Cain's partner in the company faction was named Nicholas Caesar.
And an even more critical issue was that of the 30,000 Soul Coins Cain paid for the intelligence and horned hounds, 10,000 had fallen into Su Xiao's hands.
In other words, this whole thing was a conspiracy between Su Xiao and Caesar. This was already planned when Su Xiao said in that meeting room that he would deal with Kara. That was just announcing the official start of the plan.
At the same time, in front of their own mother nest.
The undead girl in the soft cloth hat was beaming. This time, she, Caesar, and Su Xiao would split the 30,000 Soul Coins equally, ten thousand each. This sudden happiness made the undead girl blurt out, "If there's more good stuff like this in the future, be sure to call me."
"Three of you, three against one, ganging up on me, very despicable."
The undead girl 'looked' at the three assassins in stealth ahead of her. She snapped her fingers, and densely packed undead warriors rushed out from a space rift behind her.
The three assassins in stealth saw this and their eyes were filled with horror. They seemed to finally understand why people always said the undead system was the little brother among systems. After all this development, it turned out that the undead system could summon one of the little brother varieties, and this big snot would make you cry.
...
On 「Gaoze Lake」, horned hounds rushed into the lake water one after another. Cain watched this scene. He never thought these horned hounds could deal with Kara. His goal was just to make Kara stronger, thereby trapping Su Xiao here forever. That way, Cain could successfully reap the benefits.
A muffled thunderclap came from above. Cain looked up at the World Thunder in the sky, guessing it was Su Xiao inside Kara's body causing trouble. This made him sigh inwardly. Such a figure ultimately died under scheming. Such is the unpredictability of the world.
Inside Kara's body, Su Xiao sat cross-legged inside a crystal shell, his eyes closed.
Kara's health had fully recovered, and she had the unbreakable defense of 「External Armor Defense Rank +4」. Was everything Su Xiao had done before in vain? Of course not.
This was exactly the situation he was waiting for. When dealing with Kara, someone would inevitably interfere. So, he might as well actively lure in the biggest one, which was Valhalla.
Su Xiao deliberately let Kara's health recover fully and gain the unbreakable defense of 「External Armor Defense Rank +4」. Otherwise, Kara's body wouldn't be safe enough.
In the darkness, Su Xiao opened his eyes. The gold in the center of his pupils was particularly noticeable. This was the color of World Thunder. He was using his elemental affinity to attract lightning.
In the past, this would be suicide. But now, Su Xiao was inside Kara's body, and Kara was at her peak full state with the unbreakable defense of 「External Armor Defense Rank +4」, which could greatly offset the power of World Thunder.
Moreover, this place was a lake, which could further mitigate the lightning strike. And in Su Xiao's storage space, he had a life-saving item like 【Creation Bud】. Although it might not be needed this time, it could ensure his own safety was foolproof.
「Creation Bud·Tree's Blessing (Passive): When the holder of the memory mark's health drops below 0.5%, this item will immediately activate, granting the user a high-level invincibility shield. The shield lasts for 2 seconds. During this time, the user will recover 50% health and 50% mana, and gain a large movement speed bonus.」
Crack!
A furious thunderclap exploded in the sky. Hearing this loud sound, Cain, who had been watching with a detached attitude, stiffened. He looked up at the sky and found it was covered by a vortex formed by World Thunder.
Boom!!!
A terrifying thunder pillar dozens of kilometers wide stood between heaven and earth, continuously pouring down golden lightning.
Cain only felt a buzzing in his ears, and his vision went white. Behind him, his hundred or so subordinates were instantly torn apart by the lightning, turning to ash.
Before meeting Cain, Su Xiao had seen people spending money to dissipate things, and spending money to buy various rare treasures. But spending money to seek death, he had only ever encountered Cain, the one and only.
