The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 595 Auron Umbra

Eon kept his eyes focused on the dungeon, but he noticed Cainʼs gaze and a silent smile appeared on his face. That attack took every single ounce of granular control he had over his energy, but he wanted to display his power, showing the young man the might of an emperor.

Although he kept a cold head and did not show on the outside, the level of talent the young man displayed had shocked Emperor Eon to the core. There was no doubt in his mind that Cain would rise to the highest peak of Aether, and before that, he wanted to display his might and generate a lasting impression.

”Letʼs go.”

After ensuring his display of strength had the desired effect, Eon did not delay further and led the group into the secret dungeon.

Cainʼs eyes soon regained his focus and as he turned to the dungeon, he observed its vastness, with metal walls and hundreds of floating cages inside, each containing a pitiful individual who seemed to be on their last leg.

Eon, Zuko, Kabuto, and Cain descended into the secret dungeon and immediately drew the attention of a dozen warriors from the Umbra Clan.

”Impossible. This can not be happening.”

The strongest of the group couldnʼt help but shout in shock and dread as they saw the Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire descending with overwhelming pressure. These people were unable to do anything before Cainʼs eyes glowed, and their eyes immediately lost focus.

When Eon, Zuko, and Kabuto saw this, they turned toward Cain with complicated expressions. The young man just kept revealing more and more incredible abilities. Cain being able to instantly hypnotize an Apotheosis Realm Master, meant he was a very powerful Saint Hypnosis Master.

Cain did not make a fuss of his Hypnosis Master abilities as for him, being able to hypnotize a weak Apotheosis Realm Cultivator was nothing much. It would have been easier to kill all the members of the Umbra Clan present, but they might have some knowledge he could need, which was why he left them alive.

It did not take long for the four to descend to the ground of the underground dungeon and as they looked around and focused on the cages, they could see that they contained people from different clans, and many belonged to the Ten Great Bloodlines.

Eon, Kabuto, and Zukoʼs eyes burst with rage and killing intent as they saw people of their clans that they believed had gone missing or dead in this place. They were so weak and malnourished that even after all the ruckus they had created, none raised their heads and kept lying on the floor of their cells.

Cain did not say a word, nor did he feel anything about these people. He was a Master of Order, so unless he knew some of the people in those cages, he felt nothing for them. Pity was not a sentiment someone who followed Order could experience, at least not in the way normal people could.

Of course, Cain did not disturb the trio who seemed ready to burst with righteous fire, and instead focused on the teleportation matrix on the floor as the [A.I. Chip Module] began to interact with it and after a few seconds, it began to glow.

”It will lead us to a separate dimension whose core is buried one hundred thousand kilometers underground. I assume that is the place we will see Auron Umbra.”

Eon, Kabuto, and Zuko felt the space energy in the formation and did not doubt Cainʼs words, but they did not feel right leaving all the people in those cages. The sense of racial justice and protection was strong in the group.

”Donʼt worry about them. The guards will bring them out of their cages and take off their chains and energy blockers. By the time we come back, they should be all ready to leave.”

Cainʼs eyes glowed as he spoke those words, and the guards of the Umbra Clan began to move, going from cage to cage, opening them, and taking the people out.

Smiles appeared on the faces of the trio as they saw the guards taking care of their prisoners, and they turned toward Cain with appreciation before getting into the formation. The next second, the teleportation formation glowed with a blinding light, and the four vanished from the upper section of the secret dungeon of the Umbra Clan.

The mind of the four was so strong that such short teleportation was not able to affect their senses. They found themselves in a small black room, and their eyes immediately focused on the individual kneeling in the middle.

It was a naked member of the Umbra Clan with vicious wounds all over his body. His legs had spikes that nailed him to the ground, while chains descended from the ceiling and pierced his arms, making sure he would not fall.

”You came back for more, bastard?”

The man was looking to the ground, so he did not notice the newcomers and most likely believed he was speaking to the person who came every certain time to torment him.

”Auron?”

When the man heard Eonʼs voice, his entire body trembled, and he slowly raised his head. The skin on his face was scorched to the point that the bone was visible, and one of his eyes had been gouged out, but that did not erase the sense of shock in his face upon seeing that the people that arrived were the Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire and the Patriarchs of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan.

”Ha... haha... hahahahahahahahaha!”

Auron began to laugh upon seeing Eon, Kabuto, and Zuko, and tears began to fall from his only good eye. In that laughter, there was a sense of immense resilience.

Despite hundreds of years of agony, Auron was able to maintain his sanity, and as he saw the trio he believed all that pain was finally ending. His maddening laughter lasted nearly a minute before a sharp light appeared in his eye.
