224 Sword Monster
Cain opened his palm, and the machete instantly flew to him. At the moment it was in his grasp, he teleported out of the dimension full of starry light.
He appeared in a forest packed full of giant trees that rose over one thousand meters with crowns so large that they covered the sky. However, what truly mattered was the immense weakness that assaulted him. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"System!"
Appearing in an unknown place and having most of his strength gone was not a good combination, so Cain immediately commanded the Absolute Life Form System to scan the surroundings and check the state of his body.
Like always, the faithful system gave Cain an answer.

-Basic Scan Force Field works without any problem. No life forms are near Vessels.
-Unknown force invaded Vessel's body, weakening body and energy pool to the standard of a Level 1 Wave Warrior.

Searching for a counter against weakening force.

-There are possible solutions, but they will require time for the system to provide them.
Permission to use the full power of the system in the task?]
Cain did not immediately answer the system. Now that he knew there was no immediate danger, he took a moment to analyze his surroundings and talk with the one who incited him into this place.
"Apex, do you have any specific information regarding this dimension?"
Cain was not illiterate regarding the type of phenomenon, like the portal above Blade Mountain. Although his knowledge was shallow, he knew there were times when special dimensions would spontaneously open and were the key to unique inheritances.
Those inheritances may have been left behind for an ancient powerhouse or generated by the world. The second was rarer and also much more valuable, coming into existence once a specific place's Laws and natural power reached a zenith.

Cain continued walking forward as if he had not noticed it, and once the creature finally showed itself and lunged toward him from the back, he easily dodged the attack and hacked with his machete.
The weapon landed right in the center of the creature's chest, leaving a deep cut and sending it flying away over ten meters.
"AWWWW!"
A cry of rage and pain emerged from the creature. It had a humanoid body made of wood and flesh, with a single arm that held a large sword.
Cain stared at the creature, and his eyes grew sharp as he saw that the flesh in it seemed to belong to a Wave Champion Beast.
'So that is where they end up.'
Thousands of Wave Champion Beasts entered the portal. Cain had wondered what happened to them, and it seemed that whatever was in control of this place used them as a component for the monsters like the one in front of him.
"AWW!"
The monster roared for a second time, generating a blast of Life Wave before charging toward Cain with absolute bloodlust in its eyes. Cain was able to dodge the monster's sword strikes with ease. They were both at the same cultivation level, but he could use his Ego Wave to enhance his speed of thought and reflexes.
After a few minutes and verifying that the monster could only use melee strikes without any spell or skill, Cain decided to end it.
He dodged the monster's sword before cutting its neck with the machete. The creature fell to the ground after having its head separated from its body and immediately began to tremble, unleashing a dark mist and withering. Cain jumped away and held his breath while using his Wave Cloak to prevent the mist from entering his body. He did not know what it was or if it was poisonous.
However, while he did not want to be near it, the machete had other plans. It unleashed a suctioning force that drew the mist, leaving nothing left. Cain's eyes narrowed as he felt he had regained a little strength and focused on the weapon.
'It seems that the machete is fighting back the weakening force, and it grows more powerful by devouring the mist left by those Sword Monsters.'
After all the mist was gone, the Sword Monster's corpse crumbled into a pile of dust except for a small red orb.
