As he stared at Nira's corpse, Cain stood up and found the situation odd. He could not stop trembling the first time he reaped a human life with his own hands, but now his heart and mind were in a state of absolute calmness.
However, as the red light in his eyes began to fade away, all that calmness vanished, and his heartbeat began to rise incredibly fast.
That affected his ability to think and worsened his injuries, as he had already lost a lot of blood.
"Calm down. You won, and now is the time to reap the benefit."
Luckily for Cain, he once again heard Apex's voice inside his mind.
"You are speaking again."
"Of course I am. Actually, I am a little impressed by your scheming mind. You manage to force a fight, but instead of escaping, you return to give the final blow, getting rid of future problems. Well done, brat." Apex spoke with a serene and rhythmic tone that helped Cain calm his heart and mind.
