Chapter 228 Bloodshed

228 Bloodshed

Marlon slowly opened his eyes, and there was a confused expression on his face as he looked around, trying to figure out what just happened.

The last thing he remembered was two red eyes and then losing consciousness due to suffocation. He looked down and saw his hands and legs tied up, but the sword was still in his hands.

The rope around Marlon's hands and legs was made of special flexible steel, so he could not easily break out of it.

"Chris!"

Marlon shouted when he noticed his comrade was by his side, and fear emerged in his heart when he saw the dozens of deep cuts on this one.

Chris turned to the side and stared at Marlon, but a voice interrupted them before he could say a word.

"I was getting bored. Now that the two of you are awake, we can start."

Marlon and Chris turned to their left and saw Cain walking toward them. They also noticed Antony resting against a tree, but this one seemed to have no interest in them.

Antony knew that Cain was more suited to handle this type of situation, so he just watched.

Cain's eyes glowed with red light as the power of this Ego Wave burst, and he sent it to the duo's minds. Chris and Marlon trembled for a second, and their eyes almost lost focus, but they were able to resist.

A flash of pain appeared on Cain's face as the duo managed to resist his hypnosis. He was a 5-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master, and the scions had no overwhelming willpower, so the hypnosis should have worked. Unfortunately for Cain, this dimension weakened his Ego Wave but did not affect people's mental defenses.

"Ahh, I guess we will have to do it the hard way!"

Chris could not stop trembling as the shadow Cain cast over his heart was too great, but Marlon was different.

"Who do you think you are to tied me! I am the son of Marquess Galadriel!"

Marlon was the only son of a Marquess, a mighty Wave King who had pampered him all his life. No matter how great the trouble he got in, his father would always make all go away. That upbringing made Marlon think there was nothing he could not do as long as the victims had a lower background.

"Untie me now, and I will pardon this..."

Marlon could not finish his sentence as Cain grabbed him by the chest and began to strike his face.

Before Jortar's arm could descend, a shock wave echoed across the forest, and a red flash propelled toward the trio at a shocking speed.

The next thing everybody saw was an arm covered in rock armor holding a long sword flying away.

"¡AHHHHH!"

Jortar unleashed a scream of unbearable pain as a machete just cut off his right arm, and the next second, a sense of nausea and vertigo pushed him to the ground since he no longer held his sword. Carl's eyes widened as he saw that, and all the fierceness in his heart vanished, replaced by an immense fear when he saw two red eyes focusing on him. "Wait!"

Carl could not say anything else before Cain flashed forward and began to strike. The scion defended himself but was no match for Cain, and in less than ten seconds, the machete severed his right wrist, making a hand and sword fall to the ground.

"¡AHHH!"

Like Jortar, Carl unleashed a scream of pain before the weakness of losing his sword threw him to the ground. Antony appeared on the battlefield once all was over. He had to move as fast as possible, but Cain was faster.

Just as the duo turned toward Orin and were about to ask if she needed help to recover, the women spoke.

"There is no time to lose. Amos' team ambushed mine. I escaped under William's command to find help, but these two followed me."

Orin did not lose time, going straight to the point, and the expression on her face made clear the urgency of the matter.

Antony frowned when he heard that, and he knew that they needed to act fast. "How do we handle them?"

Antony had just finished his question when he saw Cain cut Carl's head off before flashing toward Jortar and doing the same to this one. Current schedule: 7 chapters a week.
