Of course, Cain did not have time to care about what others were thinking. Admiration, fear, or awe—none of it mattered. He was locked in a battle that pushed him to the absolute edge of his power.
Azazel's Eternity Breaker was more potent than ever, lasting longer than before and inflicting far less backlash upon the True Depravita. That alone made him even more dangerous. Fortunately, Cain's devastating Tenth Gear strike, combined with the trio's earlier assault, had drained a vast portion of Azazel's energy and affected his soul. That weakness gave Cain the opening he needed to seize the upper hand.
