Free Web NovelChapter 89: Chapter 89: Killing Cain
Another Sequence? Liu Mu’s pupils contracted sharply.
About Wu Jiu, a few of the top experts believed that his calmness during every battle indicated that he always had a backup plan.
But based on an unwritten rule, no one investigated, nor had the means to investigate.
After all, there were few who could force Wu Jiu to fight at full speed, and even fewer who could make him use Extreme Shadow. ƒreewebɳovel.com
All speculations about Wu Jiu had always remained just that—speculations.
Although Liu Mu had some idea, when Wu Jiu calmly mentioned that he had another Sequence, Liu Mu was still shocked beyond measure.
If it wasn’t a Sequence with a very high rank, Wu Jiu certainly wouldn’t have kept it hidden. He asked subconsciously,
"Your other Sequence... What Sequence is it?"
"Go save people!"
Wu Jiu didn’t directly answer his friend’s question and stared sharply like swords at Cain.
Cain lifted a foot and said,
"Help me strategize—this tiny, fragile third floor, where should I destroy first? That hospital? Or that office building? Ah, damn it, I can’t decide. I wonder if those monsters in Ultraman struggle like I do? If only I could become even bigger, then I could with one foot..."
Cain didn’t finish his sentence because Wu Jiu suddenly launched an attack!
"For..."
Wu Jiu leapt up, and a blade of light that seemed to distort space itself suddenly sprouted from the ankle of the gigantic Cain, then shot up his leg at a speed invisible to the naked eye!
"Me..."
Cain originally wore a mocking expression. Wu Jiu’s speed was indeed faster than he had anticipated, but the softness of his blade seemed incapable of inflicting any harm, especially to his supersized body.
However, as a spreading pain emerged from the sole of his foot, Cain suddenly had a bad feeling.
He instinctively tried to grab the ant-like figure of Wu Jiu.
"Shut..."
But by the time the thought occurred to Cain and his hand began to move, Wu Jiu, along with his blade, had already rushed from his foot to his shoulder.
Then, Cain felt like something flashed in front of his eyes.
"Your mouth!"
A white light at a sixty-degree angle sliced across Cain’s throat.
High above the ground, over a hundred meters up, Wu Jiu stood with his back to Cain—
Sheathing his sword.
And behind him, Cain suddenly knelt down, crashing like a mountain, and the entire stadium collapsed instantly under the immense pressure.
Fortunately, by this time, Liu Mu had already rescued the regretful-looking Miss Yan.
That "shut up" didn’t even last a second.
But in that single second, Wu Jiu had sliced through the giant body over a hundred meters tall from below with one strike.
And with a final throat-cutting move, he ended the fight cleanly and decisively!
Before his death, Cain’s eyes showed an undeniable excitement and shock.
After he fell to the ground, his body rapidly shrank back to its original size. His throat had been slit, leaving him unable to speak, but he managed to create a voice directly in Wu Jiu’s consciousness:
"Ah hahaha, fantastic! Fantastic! You’ve really taken me by surprise, and I look forward to the day you become Evil Fallen. I’ll definitely show you the darkness of High Tower, and you will willingly transform into Evil Fallen!"
"One day, Little Dwarf, you will see the truth! The High Tower you protect will become your greatest enemy, ah, I’m really looking forward to that day, to this body of yours, of course, it would be even better if it were taller."
Seeing the excitement in Cain’s eyes, Wu Jiu suddenly felt an extreme disgust towards that masked smile.
Despite having won, there was a sense of frustration as if the battle was far from over.
"Considering your choices before, you don’t like to follow others’ arrangements, you prefer to break limits and make your own decisions. Although you didn’t choose one of those eight endings, you and I are the same kind of person... You have the same kind of madness in your personality as I do!"
"Admit it, don’t crazy ideas often pop into your head? Maybe I am your best confidante in this world, ah hahaha..."
As Cain spoke, his body began to disappear bit by bit, not just flesh and blood, but even the props on him dissipated like smoke.
"Don’t think you can escape!"
Wu Jiu swung his knife multiple times, but each stroke felt like cutting through sand.
"Hiss! That hurts, whipping a dead body isn’t nice, I’m already dead by your hand. But before I die... oh no, before I reincarnate, can I ask you a question? The Sequence that defeated me, is it Extreme Balance or God of Destruction?"
"I’m really curious, your power suddenly became so strong, I need to reassess you, I’m looking forward to meeting you outside the tower! You’ve now got all the conditions to be noticed by the sixth level, they will definitely come looking for you one day!"
Sequence 31, Extreme Balance, allows him, during activation, to boost the strength of several weaker Innate Forces to the level of the strongest primary Innate Force attribute.
In other words, Wu Jiu concentrated all his specialization on speed, and with Extreme Shadow, if there was a pentagon graph, his speed would be maxed out, with almost no movement in other attributes.
But when Extreme Balance was cast, all other attributes would also rise to the strength of the speed attribute.
So Wu Jiu’s true combat strength far surpassed level eight stage four. When Extreme Balance was activated, he wasn’t just at the pinnacle of speed; perception, vitality, life recovery speed, strength - all were the strongest.
Wu Jiu hadn’t expected that Cain could guess his Sequence in an instant.
As for the Talent Sequence ranked nineteenth—God of Destruction, Wu Jiu wasn’t clear on its specific attributes.
But from what Cain implied, was it also a Sequence that could greatly enhance attack power?
"Ah, I’m about to disappear completely."
More than half of Cain’s body had already dissolved away; he raised his head, the eyes visible behind the mask burning with fervor.
Wu Jiu was not Bai Wu; he didn’t know the other information about Cain.
If Bai Wu were here, she would definitely wonder why a person who had lived for seven hundred years still behaved so unrestrainedly and insanely.
Before Cain vanished, he kept on talking incessantly:
"Seeing your puzzled face makes me so happy. Killing me isn’t that easy, though this body has indeed died. Ah, to use up a body so early on and yet not even touch you, I’m really not content."
Even as only half of Cain’s head was left, his voice still echoed in Wu Jiu’s mind:
"You’ve already accepted my challenge. Rather than dying on the sixth level of the High Tower, why not complete our duel and die at my hand!"
Cain completely disappeared.
After a silence, Wu Jiu looked around at the sports hall, now littered with debris, and recalling the name Cain mentioned by Bai Wu before, he decided to find Bai Wu for a clear answer. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
At that moment, Yan Jiu suddenly spoke:
"Where’s my boyfriend?"
