The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 387 Countering The Flow

The Blood Kingʼs eyes were calm as he stared at Cain. The fact that this young man, only seventeen years old, managed to achieve such incredible power from one moment to the next might be shocking for everybody, but not for him.

When the Void King ordered him to end Cainʼs life, he did not take the mission lightly. Although the Blood King might seem wild, there was no way someone could reach the peak of the underworld and take one of the ten thrones of The Organization without an incredibly powerful mind, intellect, and wisdom.

Using all the resources of The Organization at his disposal, the Blood King conducted deep research on Cainʼs life. The first weeks of his life were a mystery due to the fact he was an orphan baby taken from a battlefield by his father.

After that, Cainʼs life was very average, even mediocre. While he was hardworking, he lacked any talent, so he was bullied in school. However, everything changed after a special day in the forest near the slums of his original home.

Cain had taken the life of a schoolmate who had attempted to kill him, and from that day on, he underwent a massive change in his destiny. Not only did he awaken a Lineage, but his entire aura and nature experienced an impressive boost as if he was someone new, or at least older.

The more the Blood King investigated, the more he came to the conclusion that Cain Laurifer was just like him.

”I havenʼt met a fellow Rebirther in a very long time. I wonder if you would like to tell me your name since I would like to know the person I am going to kill.”

The Azure King could not hide his shock when he heard the term Rebirther. They were individuals who had honed unique and incredibly powerful abilities that allowed them to restart their lives from a young age while retaining their insight about their cultivation path.

Of course, such a technique was not flawless and had several shortcomings, but that was something people of such low power and status as the Azure King would not know.

As for Cain, those words meant nothing to him, and the only thought in his mind was to kill that man covered in blood energy.

”ROOOOOOAAAAARRRRRR!”

The dark purple monster unleashed a new sonic scream that carried the full might of his Ego Wave, and while it almost made the Azure King pass out, it did not affect the Blood King.

”Mmm, it seems that something went wrong, and raw and chaotic emotions overflow your mind without any sense of order. How odd, but I guess it doesnʼt matter since you will die regardless.”

The Blood King was eerily calm as he stared at Cain before opening his palm, sending a burst of Blood Energy into the Azure King, helping this one stabilize his condition and life force.

”Thank you, my Lord.”

The mighty Azure King, leader of the Azure Royal Family that held the bloodline of a former emperor of the Godslayer Humankind, bowed to a member of the underworld. That was a crime that would have the entire family butchered to pieces if people of the Imperial Court were to find out.

”Take care of the evidence, and then reinforce the Black Box. Your battle with Cain nearly broke it, and I cannot allow any leak.”

A sharp golden light appeared in the eyes of the Azure King as he nodded and flashed toward the Azure State.

Cainʼs gaze turned to the Azure King, and his eyes widened. Even while his mind was in a state of pure madness and chaos, his Ego Wave allowed him to perceive the killing intent in the Azure King as this one near the area of the Azure State where he and Krane stopped the revolving dark golden sphere of energy.

The murderous wrath in Cainʼs eyes exploded as the Ego Wave he unleashed grew even more potent, and he flashed toward the Azure King at full speed.

”BOOMMMM!”

Unfortunately for Cain, the Blood King intercepted his path and connected a blow on his chest that sent him crashing into the ground.

Cain immediately stood up, but his chest had a deep indentation. A single blow from the Blood King did nearly as much damage as the most potent strike from the Azure King, making clear just how massive the difference between their powers was.

Since that was the case, Cain should solely focus on the Blood King, or else he might lose his life, but that rational thinking did not enter his mind, and the only train of thought right now was to kill the Azure King before this one could reach the Azure State.

The dark purple monster flashed again toward the Azure King, but the Blood King intercepted his path just like before. Yet, things were different this time.

Cainʼs eyes glowed with a meaningful light as he used The Flow to predict the attack of the Blood King and dodge it before sending a blow of his own.

The Blood Kingʼs eyes narrowed as he saw how Cain dodged his right hook before countering it with a kick to his face. However, unlike the Azure King, who was powerless before those types of counters, the Blood King reinforced his right hand with Blood Energy, allowing him to catch the leg before sending a new blow to the dark purple monsterʼs chest.

Cainʼs figure once again plummeted into the ground, and that blow to the chest not only managed to damage his Astral Wave muscles but generated a shock wave that reached his real body!

”Hmph, do you really think that technique that could predict movements by perceiving the movement of muscles, tendons, and energy pools was unstoppable?” Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

There was a cold light in the Blood Kingʼs eyes as he uttered those words. He still remembered how that technique was the one that helped Cain win the Blood Champion Tournament, which was the first step in the collapse of his plans for the Blood Sea.

”You cannot counter a strike when you are sending one, and I can simply use my greater power and technique to stop your limbs and send my own blow.”

Although the Blood King made it sound easy, the truth was that the level of skill and constitution needed to perform that feat was something even Titans and Gods would find hard to master.

Cain did not care about the words of the Blood King, but all of a sudden, his eyes widened as he saw a flash of light in the distance.
