Chapter 333: Third Gear

Cain stared at Desmond for a moment before relaxing his body.

'I didn't want to show it so soon, but I guess it's fine.'

Cain's eyes grew sharp as he stared at Desmond before taking a deep breath, and the power of his Ego Wave burst, flooding his veins and heart with golden flames full of life force.

"Tell me, just how hard is your skull and upper neck?"

Desmond was slightly confused by that question but answered instinctively, "Very hard."

He was already at the Late Wave Champion level and was a member of the Deus Behemoth Race, so his skeletal structure was inherently more robust than humans.

"I see, then you'll be fine."

Cain only uttered those words before his skin grew redder than ever before. His heartbeat grew monstrously powerful, so much so that it began to affect the heartbeats of others in the room. Some were too weak to endure it, and blood began to leak from the corner of their mouths.
