Cain slowly opened his eyes, and there was confusion in them. However, that was pushed away by a wave of immense pain that covered his entire body.
He felt as if every muscle fiber had shattered, and he could not do anything else but stay on the ground, waiting for the pain to disappear.
Nevertheless, that was not so easy since dread assaulted his mind when he saw the Atrox right next to him, and even in his state, he could see that this one was still alive.
Cain knew he needed to adopt a battle stance, but just staying conscious was challenging, much less fighting.
Luckily, he soon heard a voice that allowed him to calm down.
"Relax, brat. The Atrox's heart and brain technically work, but his soul is gone, so there is nothing to fear. Even if that was not the case, his injuries were so severe that he could not move."
