“Sleep.”

That command reached the deepest part of his mind and instilled in him an intense desire to let go of everything, close his eyes, and fall asleep.

“NO!” Great Tiger shouted as he fought with everything he had that compulsion.

A harsh life had granted Great Tiger a powerful will, so he was able to overcome that drive implanted in his mind. Actually, he could have resisted from the beginning, but he was so sure of his victory against the boy that he lowered his guard.

Although Great Tiger regained control of his mind, that did not mean everything was fine. Fighting off that compulsion granted the boy all the time he needed to burst with immense power.

Not only was the boy unleashing a Wave output equal to a Late Level 4 Wave Warrior, it wasn’t Essence Wave but Astral Wave!

Great Tiger saw how a black armor extended from the boy’s back and covered this one’s body, just as two fists charged with an immense amount of Astral Wave and lightning came toward him.

Even if the amount of Wave that Great Tiger could unleash surpassed the boy’s, Essence Wave was unsuitable for physical defense.

.....

He directed much of his Essence Wave toward the front of his body while raising his weapons.

‘I will take that blow. It will harm me, but after that, I will be able to put some distance between us before unleashing a barrage of Wind Blades.’ Great Tiger was a seasoned fighter, so he devised a plan in a fraction of a second.

Unfortunately, he was unable to predict what would happen next.

Great Tiger’s eyes widened as he felt a sharp pain on his back and saw that Old Fox had just buried a knife in it. The old man had charged almost all his Essence Wave into the knife, which did a lot of damage.

“Dammit!” Great Tiger shouted as he stuck Old Fox with the back of his hand, sending the old man flying away.

Great Tiger did not understand what was happening but did not have time to think as the lightning fist was about to reach him. He could only put his free arm on its path, protecting his chest from the blows that would have undoubtedly shattered his sternum.

When those fists landed on him, Great Tiger felt as if a massive truck was about to run him over, but things only worsened.

The matrixes in the gauntlets glowed, generating an extremely powerful kinetic blast that completely shattered Great Tiger’s right arm and sent him flying away while puking blood.

“BOOM!!”

Great Tiger felt how every single one of his internal organs trembled and was sure that his right arm would have exploded if not for his armor.

Despite the immense pain and damage he endured, the man managed to shout an order in mid-air.

“Young Elephant, Young Monkey, kill him!”

By this point, everybody could tell that the young man responsible for all this mayhem was no other than Cain.

Cain’s arms trembled for a moment as they went over the backlash of triggering a double level 2 Kinetic Blast. The last time he used it, the bones on his hands almost broke, and it drained most of his Astral Wave. Although he coped with it much better this time, it still temporarily froze him.

Less than a second after Great Tiger’s shout, two figures emerged from the darkness. One was a thin woman wielding a metal staff, while the other was a large man wearing brown armor full of spikes. The first was an Essence Wave Cultivator, the second an Astral Wave Cultivator, and both were Level 4 Wave Warriors.

Cain did not even glance at the duo coming at him full of killing intent, but his Ego Wave dashed toward them, generating a clash of wills.

Young Monkey and Young Elephant were shocked by the sudden clash. Although they were on high alert and aware of their danger, none could face off Cain’s willpower.

“Freeze!”

The duo wanted nothing more than to kill Cain, but their bodies froze when they heard that command. What they desired did not matter since the order Cain implanted in their minds was stronger.

Cain’s Ego Wave showed him how the duo froze thirty meters away from him. Once his body recovered from the backlash, he took a deep breath and activated it.

“First Gear.” Cain softly uttered those words as his flesh turned red.

“Thump!”

Great Tiger was just about to rise from the ground when he heard a powerful heartbeat that echoed through the forest. He saw that sound coming from the boy’s chest; before he could overcome the shock, this one appeared in front of him.

‘What a monstrous speed!’ That was the last thought that crossed Great Tiger’s mind before a fist carrying outrageous strength landed on his chest, overwhelming his armor’s defenses and shattering his ribs and sternum.

“AHHHH!” Great Tiger screamed in pain as blood carrying pieces of his inner organs came out of his mouth. However, he could not yell for long since a barrage of punches began to land on his head, shattering every bone in it.

Cain’s entire body rotated after every punch, generating a greater and greater momentum and torque that would enhance the next blow with even more strength.

Young Monkey and Young Elephant could do nothing else but see as a young boy punched the head of their leader with so much strength that small blasts echoed every time the fists connected.

It was not long before they heard the sound that marked the end of the massacre.

“CRACK!”

Great Tiger’s skull finally gave up under that barrage and shattered, marking the end of the man.

Cain’s eyes showed no mercy at all as he turned toward the duo with bloody hands.
