The bandits' leader bore the name Krane, a Middle Wave King who had survived numerous dangers while living in the underworld. But never before had he felt so close to death as when he laid eyes on the young man who had effortlessly killed the burly Astral Wave cultivators with a single touch.
'Black hair, red force field, not older than twenty... It's...'
Krane's eyes widened as realization dawned upon him, and he uttered two words.
"Cain Laurifer!"
The rest of the bandits shared the same shocked expression when they heard Cain's name. His reputation had spread far and wide across the empire after the events in Blood Sea, but it resonated most deeply in the underworld. He was the young man who had thwarted the plans of a Dark King and survived.
Cain's eyebrows twitched as he noticed how easily the bandits recognized him, but he didn't let that distract him. None of them would be leaving this place alive.
