The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 453 Death Tide (II)

Unlike the Leader of Dark Hand, Death Tide hid in the open by playing a fictitious persona of himself, a buffoon that no one respected. Since Unit was such an embarrassment and a weak coward, no one felt threatened by him.

It was easy to handle the threats around you if people constantly underestimated you.

”I must commend you for the performance. Had I not known about it, you could have tricked me.”

Unit stared at the man in the sky for a moment before speaking.

”Did Yeta betray me?”

Death Tide had always been careful with his secret identity, and only one person knew his identity: the Vice-Leader of Dead Ocean. He had already played enough tricks and mental games on the woman to make her want to kill herself before betraying him, which was why he was confident in his cover.

Yet, the presence of the man with the red mask in the sky proved that the woman had revealed the information.

”I extracted the information from her mind by force.”

The Scarlet King could not help but grow interested in the man. Death Tide was a thousand years old and by no means a talented person, but he achieved great things by taking advantage of his scheming mind.

Urin nodded, and his eyes showed nothing, as he did not really care about the womanʼs life.

”I felt a great power in you, but I am no weakling either. Is there a way we can handle this without a fight?” y Virtual Library Empire

As he uttered those words, a dark force field emerged from Death Tide, slowly pushing back the Scarlet Kingʼs Ego Wave. Surprisingly, they were at about the same level, meaning that, at least in terms of Ego Wave, Death Tide surpassed the old Dark Mask!

The Scarlet King was not surprised by the manʼs willpower. Being over one thousand years old and playing a show every day of your life was not something one could do with weak resolve.

”Even if I leave, what about all these people who saw you?”

Death Tide showed a calm expression as he looked at the others, who were shocked and confused.

”They are all my brothersʼ spies. I just had them around to spread my disguise, but obviously, now they are all as good as dead.”

The Scarlet King softly nodded as he heard that, but his eyes burst with red light as his Essence Wave exploded with power when he took control of the Life Wave in the surroundings.

”You are an interesting person, but I came here for a battle, and I will get one.”

Urinʼs eyes grew cold as he heard that, and the next second, he stomped into the shipʼs surface, generating a dark wave that spread in all directions.

Dread and terror appeared in the dozens of people inside the ship as they saw their life force being drained out of their bodies and flooding into Death Tide. Some begged and cried, but Death Tide showed nothing as the energy kept filling his body.

The Scarlet Kingʼs eyes narrowed as he saw the attack used by Death Tide. He did not care about the people on the ship, but it was the first time he saw such mighty Law, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

”The Law of Death.”

Regarding the power of a Law, there were two key factors. One was the mastery over the Law, as greater mastery allowed a cultivator to channel more of its power.

The second factor was its impact on the universe since the higher it was, the more powerful the Law would be. Of course, that also meant it would be more challenging to master it.

Death Tideʼs Death Law was still a Basic Understanding Realm, but he could unleash an equally destructive power than the original Dark Maskʼ Ice Law!

Just as the Scarlet King expected Death Tide to channel all the energy he took from the people on the ship as an attack against him, the man flashed into the lower levels.

A slight frown appeared on the Scarlet Kingʼs face as he had already inspected the ship, and there was no teleportation formation or the like in the lower levels. Still, he did not hesitate before sending the Demonic Phantom forward.

The avatar of darkness and blood lunged toward the ship, ready to break it to pieces and reach Death Tide. However, just as its claw reached the surface, it began to glow with all sorts of strange runes.

The Scarlet Kingʼs eyes widened as he saw those runes, but they fulfilled their purpose before he could do anything.

”BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!”

The Scarlet King had only used his Ego Wave to inspect the ship and not his [Pseudo Multidimensional Scan Force Field] since the purpose of this fight was to take on someone he knew nothing about. That was why the runes were able to hide until the last minute.

The explosion was so intense that it blasted the Demonic Phantom to pieces, sending the Blood Nails flying in different directions. The Holy Weapon would have broken into pieces had it not been for the Saint Revolution Refinement.

The Scarlet King extended his right hand, retrieving the Blood Nails and reforging the Demonic Phantom. Although he could conjure the avatar again, it forced him to drain a considerable amount of his Essence Wave and Blood Energy.

His eyes narrowed as the Ego Wave inspected the cloud of flames left by the explosion, and a flash of surprise appeared on them as he failed to detect Death Tide.

Immediately, the Scarlet King unleashed the full power of his Ego Wave, covering everything in a radius of over 300 kilometers, and he saw it.

In the distance, a cocoon of life energy flashed away at an immense speed, and inside was none other than Death Tide.

”So that is where the life of all those people went. He must have hidden in the shipʼs most reinforced place and used the peopleʼs life force as a ward before escaping into the distance.”

The Scarlet Kingʼs grip over Slaughter tightened as he saw the figure running away, and a smile appeared on his face. This was the first time he met someone who truly used wits as a weapon, and there was a slight sense of danger assaulting him, making it clear that if he went after Dark Tide, his life could be in danger.

”¡BOOM!”
