The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 283 : Fightning a Wave King (II)

Landrik showed a malicious grin as he thought of the effect the black tornado would have on Cain. However, that was replaced by shock since Cain bounced off as soon as he touched the ground, dodging the attack.

”What!?”

Landrik could not hide his surprise. Even if the air cannon was an attack that replaced strength with speed, it was still a Wave Kingʼs spell, so he could not understand how Cain managed to move immediately after taking the attack head-on.

”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!”

The shock only increased in the Wave Kingʼs eyes when he saw how Cain began to bounce from one three to the other, moving in different angles, constantly vanishing from his field of view.

Usually, the fact his eyes could not follow the target was not a problem for Landrik since he could rely on his Ego Wave, but Cain was able to hide from the red force field as well using what he could only describe as Saint-level concealment technique.

Landrik pushed his focus to the limit as he remained in the air, trying to follow Cainʼs movements, but it was getting more challenging since this one momentum increased with every bounce.

Not even two seconds after the first attack, Landrik lost sight of Cain before a red figure appeared on his left side. His instincts screamed danger, and he was able to react just as fast as before.

A single move of Landrikʼs right hand generated an air cannon that sent Cain crashing into one of the trees. Before the Wave King could send another attack, Cain had already bounced off, reigniting his momentum.

”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!”

Landrikʼs eyes burned with rage as he tried to keep up with Cainʼs movements. He could fly to the sky or exit the Howling Forest, but that would erase any chance he had of killing Shura.

Cain continued his rampage, gaining a massive momentum before flashing toward Landrik, full of killing intent. While the Wave King kept sending him crashing into the ground or the trees, only for him to bounce off the next instant.

After thirty seconds, Landrik was able to understand what was happening. It was not that the air cannon did not harm Cain, but the young man healed so fast that by the time he clashed against a surface, he was ready to bounce off.

If that were all, everything would be fine for the Wave King since it would only be a matter of time before Cain perished, but there were two significant problems.

Not only time was of the essence for Landrik, but Cain was moving closer and closer to him.

”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!”

A new series of the blast occurred around Landrik, but this time he was not able to counter Cainʼs attack with an air cannon. By the time he had detected the young man, this one was already on top of him.

Cainʼs hand was like a blade, cutting forward. However, while his aim was Landrikʼs neck, this one managed to move in the last second, so he could only cut the chest.

Landrik clenched his teeth as he felt the deep cut on his chest before raising his hand and making his Essence Wave burst.

”Hurricane Strike!”

A massive black tornado emerged from the palm of his hand and began to devastate everything around him.

Most of the trees of the Howling Forest were thousands of meters tall with roots that extended even longer, so Landrikʼs Hurricane Strike was able to raise only a few from the ground.

”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!” ”¡Boom!”

Landrikʼs goal was to break Cainʼs momentum, but to his shock, the young man could move around the black tornado and even use the flying trees as platforms from which to jump..

ʼWhat kind of monster is this boy!?ʼ

He could not believe what he saw. In his mind, it was impossible for a Wave Warrior to perform those kinds of feats, yet they were happening in front of his eyes right now.

Cainʼs eyes were in sharp focus, glowing with red light as he bounced from one tree to the other, and there was only one thought in his head.

ʼFaster!ʼ

Every time he received one of Landrikʼs air cannons, he felt his bones breaking and muscles shattering, only for the overwhelming vitality and energy inside his body to mend the damage immediately.

The liquid from the Blood Origin Pool burning a hole in his stomach had more vitality than a Wave Warrior could use in a lifetime. Yet, the stress his inner organs were enduring could not be healed so easily, and it was adding up.

Landrik did not know, but it was only a matter of minutes before Cain fell into organ failure.

Cain was aware of the state of his body, but his mind was in complete harmony as he instinctively adapted to the patterns of the Wave King, searching for an opening.

The pain was excruciating, and his body wanted nothing more than to stop, but Cain kept pushing harder, raising his speed higher and higher.

”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!”

Cainʼs speed had risen above Mach 10, and every time he bounced from one of the trees, it was like a cannonball. He was bleeding from every orifice in his head, and the light was fading from his eyes, but he finally did it!

Landrik had sent one of his air cannons against Cain, but the young man dodged it, and before he could do anything, a hand with the form of a blood gem blade reached his chest.

Absolute terror appeared on Landrikʼs face when the blade landed right where the claw wound was present. That part of his armor was broken, making the blood gem blade a deadly attack.

Landrikʼs fear allowed him to generate an instant spell, triggering an air shield on top of his chest that attempted to repeal the blood gem blade.

Cain felt a powerful barrier keeping his hand from piercing into Landrikʼs chest, and if he failed this attack, it would be the end since his body could not perform another.

ʼPUSH FORWARD!ʼ

That single intent expressed the desire of his willpower as the red light in his eyes burst with power before fusing with his Astral Wave!

”¡BOOM!”

A shock wave spread across the Howling Forest as Cainʼs Astral Wave grew exponentially after being enhanced by his Ego Wave, allowing him to break through the wind membrane protecting Landrik.

”¡AHHHHHH!”

The Wave Kingʼs screamed in pain as the blood gem blade pierced his chest, and he and Cain dived into the ground at a speed above MACH 15!

”BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!”

The clash made the earth tremble, generating a cloud of dust covering dozens of kilometers. By the time this one finally dissipated, one could see Cain standing on top of the Wave King, pushing his hand even more profoundly as he looked straight into his enemyʼs eyes.

Shock, terror, and unwillingness appeared on Landrikʼs face as Cainʼs hand pierced his heart, killing him!

A Wave Warrior killing a Wave King. That was the type of feat that only happened in the legends of the First Titan of Humankind. It was a feat worth being remembered for hundreds if not thousands of years.

Of course, all that fame mattered very little to Cain right now as he took his hand out of Landrikʼs chest and fell next to this one, using what little strength he had left to breathe.

The Sun Seed was working at full power, trying to heal the damage to his inner organs, but it was too severe, and he was going into cardiac arrest. As for the liquid of the Blood Origin Pool, it was still inside him but was only causing more damage since his body could not handle it.

Cain was doing all he could not lose consciousness, as he knew that help was on the way, but he was out of luck.

”Lord Landrik is dead!”

”What!?”

The ones arriving were not members of the Blood Sea or the Imperial Lightning Fort but two of the comrades of the death Wave King!

Cain clenched his teeth as he raised his head. He saw the old scout and a middle-aged woman in the distance. Both of them were severely wounded, but even a mortal could kill right now.

Fear appeared in the eyes of the old man and the middle-aged woman as they looked around, trying to find the culprit, but in the end, there was no one else other than the moribund young man.

Shook emerged in their eyes as they could not understand how a young Wave Warrior could have killed Landrik. But soon, it became killing intent.

”Brat, die!”

The old man jumped toward Cain as he made his Astral Wave explode, but before he could perform his attack, a giant bestial claw appeared out of nowhere and pushed him back.

Cainʼs eyes widened when he saw that claw, and Shura appeared in front of him the next second.
