Chapter 45: First mission (II)

Back in his room, Cain bowed to his father’s altar, took a shower, and ate a meal before arranging things for the mission.

He packed a second set of clothes, his Soldier’s Drugs, and a container with Abyssal Demon’s blood. There was not much else to load in the military backpack since the mission would only take around three days.

As he glanced at the Soldier’s Drugs, a contemplative expression appeared in Cain. While extremely useful during the Military Academy Secret Trial, he was a Level 2 Astral Wave Warrior now, and their effect would not be as good as before.

After some thinking, Cain used the Imperial Military Academy Network and searched for new drugs, one suitable for his level. It did not take him long to find something useful.

[Warrior Pill: Heals non-lethal wounds, improves wakefulness, decreases the sense of fatigue, and increases the ability to concentrate. Fully effective up to Level 5.

Warning: Only Wave Warrior above Level 1 can use them without severe side effects.

Cost: 25 Imperial Military Credits.]

.....

Their effect was impressive, and so was the cost. Cain also found the Soldier Drugs in the Imperial Military Academy Network, and a batch of ten costs only 5 Imperial Military Credits.

Although Cain had more than 2000 Imperial Military Credits, that did not mean he could just spend them without care. He was actually saving them as he wanted to buy something that would be useful for his foundation, but there was no point in having wealth and not a life to spend it.

Even if the mission did not seem that dangerous, they would still face Wave Warriors, who would want to kill them. So, after some deliberation, Cain bought three Warriors Pills.

Instead of waiting for the package to arrive, Cain adopted a meditative position and began training in the Fiend Devourer Cultivation Technique.

Following the cultivation technique, Cain’s meridians grew larger and extended over his chest. Time flew by, and before he knew it, the time to depart arrived.

The package with the three Warrior Pills had arrived while Cain trained. He put them in his backpack and left for the south gate.

Levi was already there, waiting by the side of a military truck similar to the one Tristan and London used as they picked up the cadets.

The red-eyed youth nodded to Cain, and the duo got up in the truck before approaching the gate. Cadets could not simply leave, but once Levi showed the mission code, the soldier in charge opened the gate and let the duo go.

The military truck could drive on its own, and since they were on a secure highway, neither Cain nor Levi worried too much about dangers despite the dense forest surrounding them.

Godslayer Humankind had more than enough power to destroy those forests and pave everything, but there were two main reasons for not following that path.

One was the teaching of the Old World about how to live in equilibrium with the environment. There was also a selfish component as a loss in wildlife correlated with a decline in the Wave’s density.

The second reason took into consideration the Wave Beasts. Although the Godslayer Humankind had a hostile relationship with them, it did not reach the point of mutual destruction.

If they destroyed the forest and left no one with enough power to protect whatever they built in those places, powerful Wave Beasts would level any construction as retribution.

Cain’s eyes narrowed as the military truck had left the Lightning Imperial Fort and glanced at Levi. The red-eyed youth returned the gaze and nodded.

Both Level 2 Wave Warriors send a small amount of Astral Wave into the artifact protecting their spine, and soon every piece of their bodies was covered by armor.

Cain’s Nullity Armor was utterly black, made of hundreds of light scales. A black glass also covered his eyes, and a membrane refined the air he breathed. It did not hinder his movements and fused with his Light Boots and Kinetic Gauntlets, leaving no opening.

Levi’s armor was shockingly similar to the Level 3 Atrox that Cain saw in the Military Academy Secret Trial. It also covered the entire body, leaving no opening an enemy could take advantage of.

“Inferno.”

“Saint.”

Their Wave Artifact distorted the duo’s voice as they uttered their code names. They did not know who they would face, and it was best to hide their real identities. Besides, during this mission, they only needed their status as cadets of the Collapsing Lightning Military Academy.

The duo slept after ensuring everything was fine, and there were no dangers in the surroundings. The military truck had a scanner that would warn them of any threat.

Of course, they kept a light sleep and were ready to act in case of any danger. It will take Cain and Levi less than a second to mobilize their Astral Wave.

If the attacker were so fast that they could kill them before that, it would not make a difference even if they were fully awake.
