The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 242 : Leaving the dimension

Cain did not waste time, sending Slaughter back into his Rebirth Heart before taking several Wave Champion Beastʼs hearts from his space ring.

He drove the Life Wave in the surroundings into his heart, and the machete began to spin, improving the speed at which the energy transformed into Astral Wave, but that was far from all.

Sonic Blade Fusion not only improved your cultivation speed, but at the same time, it also tempered your body. Small sonic booms emerged from the machete, traveling through the body and tempering Cainʼs flesh and blood.

Those vibrations not only strengthened Cainʼs flesh and blood but also stimulated his cells, improving his vitality and self-healing abilities.

Cain mastered the first level of Sonic Blade Fusion very quickly, as if he was relearning something he had forgotten. He had never trained in the technique or even something related to the energy of sound, but it seemed that he gained some of the Sword Avatarʼs comprehension.

Once he found his rhythm, Cain began to devour the blood from all those hearts and use their Blood Energy to alter the molecular structure in his right hand.

Although the right hand he recovered thanks to the dimensionʼs power was just as good as the original, it lacked the molecular tempering of training Blood Hand, forcing Cain to do it all over again.

Luckily, since he had already mastered the metamorphosis, it only took him five hours to finish, and there was good news.

After finishing the metamorphosis of the finger, Cain was able to continue with the knuckles, then extend it to the rest of the hand. That meant Cain advanced to the third level of Blood Hand, Blood Fist!

Cain had been stuck at the second level for quite a while now, unable to carry on since Blood Fist required the constitution of a Wave Champion or be a Wave Warrior with Flawless Marrow.

There was excitement and thrill in Cainʼs eyes as he carried on with the transformation, doing it with both hands. He only stopped after nine hours and had changed half of the hand since that was his limit.

Cain needed more training if he wanted to change both hands entirely.

After that was over, Cain turned his focus to the skills and abilities inscribed in Sonic Blade Fusion, but he was not able to carry on due to exhaustion.

The battle with the Sword Avatar pushed his mind and focus to the limit, and even if the energy of the dimension could heal his body and restore his stamina, the mental strain was still there.

Cain lay on the ground, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in seconds. He stood like that for nearly ten hours before finally waking up, and when he did, his mind was sharper than ever.

The dimension had already sent an intent to Cainʼs mind, and he knew that if he wanted to leave, he just had to say it. That would expel him and everybody else from this place, back to Blade Mountain.

There was no reason to leave right away since he could train in peace inside the room, and there were no threats.

Not wanting to waste time, he stood up and began to practice the technique that the Sword Avatar deployed during their battle.

Cain ran from one side of the room to the other, and his speed was improving with every second as small sonic booms emerged from the sole of his feet.

The name of the skill was Sonic Dash, which allowed the Sword Avatar to achieve instant acceleration at supersonic speed. It did not require any special footwork and could activate in the air, allowing the user to deploy an even better version of Air Walk.

Sonic Dash was the one skill that Cain wanted to master more than any of the others right now, and the reason for that was simple. Several powerhouses were bound to be waiting for him and the other youths once they left the dimension.

Cain knew that some of those people might want to wrestle away the inheritance from whoever gained it and would not care if they had to kill someone to get it.

Of course, he was sure that Zarak and other powerhouses of the Lightning Imperial Fort would also be there and offer him their protection. Still, he did not want to put his life in the hands of others if there was an alternative.

After nearly a day of training, Cainʼs mastery over Sonic Dash became as good as the one from the Sword Avatar. He could achieve an instant acceleration at the speed of sound, and that was without Second Gear active. If he used both simultaneously, his agility could equal or even surpass that of Peak Wave Champions.

Following the mastery of Sonic Dash, Cain practiced the technique that altered the state of the Wave Cloak, making it vibrate at a certain rhythm that allowed it to act as a buffer against physical attacks.

The name of the ability was Sonic Armor. It was easier to master than Sonic Dash, as it only required altering the state of your Wave Cloak using Wave Transformation.

Cain wanted to continue his training, but suddenly, the dimension began to tremble.

ʼSome people are getting impatient.ʼ

It was clear to Cain that someone wanted to see what was happening inside the dimension. Although the portal should have vanished, Cain knew that if a cultivator was powerful enough, they could make their own path by force.

There were still Sonic Fists, Sonic Clones, Sonic Bullet, and Sonic Zero that Cain needed to train, but he would do that after leaving this place. Delaying things would not help, and taking the challenges head-on was better.

ʼI am ready.ʼ

As soon as that thought appeared in Cainʼs mind, an invisible force got hold of every youth inside the dimension, dead or alive, and teleported them out.

Cain could focus much faster than the last time he was teleported due to the improvements in his soul force and willpower and saw that he and the others appeared on Blade Mountainʼs foot.

He immediately perceived several immensely powerful figures in the sky looking down on them. Still, all that ceased to matter when he saw that Dominic had appeared less than twenty meters away from him.

It might have been a coincidence or an act from the consciousness that guided the inheritance, but it did not make a difference for Cain.

”¡Boom!”

Dominicʼs mind was still adjusting to the sudden change when he heard a sonic boom. The next second, a hand grabbed his head and pushed him into the ground with so much strength that it nearly left him unconscious.

Before the scion could mobilize his Essence Wave, a fist landed ferociously on his Evolution Core, paralyzing the energy pool.

Cain had just pinned down Dominic to the ground, and his right hand transformed into a blood gem as he intended to blast the head of the scion with a single punch.

However, just as Cain was about to kill Dominic, a ferocious voice descended from the sky.

”Damm, mongrel, what do you think you are doing to my son!”

Cain felt his eardrums trembling due to that powerful voice. He did not attack, but neither did he let go of Dominic. Instead, he looked to the sky and saw a middle-aged man unleashing a powerful aura that resembled a massive elemental storm.

The man was one meter and ninety centimeters tall, with black hair and green eyes, holding two long swords in his hands, and covered by powerful gales that seemed capable of shattering buildings.

”Dad, save me!”

Dominic endured the pain and shouted to the sky, but he spoke no more as Cain began to squeeze his neck with so much strength that he could no longer breathe.

”Mongrel, you dare to disobey the words of Alexander Martel!”

A green force field descended from the sky as Alexander unleashed his Ego Wave and made it fall on top of Cain.

It was so fast that Cain could not even see it, but the next second he felt a crushing pressure on his mind. Alexanderʼs willpower sought to crush Cainʼs spirit and force this one to move away from Dominic.

The rest of the youths that saw that immediately moved away. Even those with a good relationship with Cain did not dare to get close since there was nothing they could do when facing something like that.

Fear, doubt, and a sense of submission sought to invade Cainʼs heart as he faced that green force field, but then a red light appeared in his eyes, making any shred of hesitation vanish.

A powerful red force field emerged from Cainʼs brain. Although it was not strong enough to fend off Alexanderʼs Ego Wave, it was able to protect Cain from it.

Alexanderʼs eyes widened when he saw Cain looking back at him without any form of fear, but before he could do anything else, a blue force field manifested in the distance.
