The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 336 Blood Wings

The Imperial Feast was finally over, and people had come back to their residences. Everybody had left with whom they arrived except for Desmond, who had returned to the Fourth Imperial Princeʼs castle with Cain.

The duo had business to attend to. Luckily for Cain and Desmond, Klaus was happy to let them use his castleʼs conference room to discuss business.

As for Yordana, that was something Cain would take care of tomorrow since they would go together to the Wave Crafter. There was no such thing as the best type of weapon; it was only the one that suited you most, which was why Cain would have to speak with the crafter before the work started.

Not bothering with the transactions of tomorrow, Cain focused on Desmond. Although the two had a good relationship, business and friendship were very different things.

”Asura Form is a skill that does not require using Astral Wave as a trigger but uses your Ego Waveʼs control over your physical functions. It enhances the heartbeat considerably, enhancing your speed and also improving the secretions of hormones that improve your physical condition.

First Gear can be used without much problem as long as you have a solid foundation, and even those on the Essence Evolution Path of Power could use it if they trained a good enough auxiliary technique.

However, to safely use Second Gear, you must at least have evolved with Void Marrow. Even then, there is a backlash, so I do not recommend its use for extended periods unless you have a healing skill.

Third Gear pushes your heartbeat to the absolute limit of your heart and blood vessels. I trained a skill that enhances my flesh and blood to be as durable as Silver Wave Artifacts, yet I could barely use it for a second before nearly collapsing.

Regardless of your cultivation, there is no limit or weakness in its power. Even a Titan could use First Gear and obtain an upgrade to his speed and torque. However, the same can be said about the backlash since it does not depend on your cultivation base but the power of your physique and foundation.”

Desmond kept a calm expression, but internally, he was beyond shocked. He had seen the techniqueʼs power and knew it was stunning, but to learn there was no cultivation base default to it was incredible. Just that raised Asura Formʼs value to something he found hard to contemplate.

”I see, indeed, an awe-inspiring skill. I have a lot of assets, but I would like to know what you need first.”

Instead of just revealing his wealth, Desmond first wanted to know Cainʼs needs. That way, he could negotiate from a better standpoint.

Cain did not have a problem revealing his needs since he already knew what Desmond wanted.

”I need resources that can help improve my Blood Rebirth. I am currently at the Golden Blood Stage. Of course, I would like those with powerful blood vitality like the flower you took during our sparring.”

Desmond nodded. He had noticed the blood essence coursing through Cainʼs body during their battle, so he was not surprised that he wanted resources that carried blood vitality.

”Is that all?”

Cain was about to nod, but then a flash of light coursed through his eyes.

ʼMy brute power is covered with Blood Hand and Darkness Infusion, and my defenses could not be higher than with Biofusion Herculean Technique, but there was one aspect in which my current skill reached its limit, and I need something better if I want to keep improving.ʼ

”Do you have a skill related to speed?”

Although Sonic Dash was fast, it had already lost its might for Cainʼs current need. Sonic Blade Fusion Technique covered his cultivation needs flawlessly and granted great foundation, but its battle skills were no longer helpful.

Desmond could not help but smile as he heard that since, in his space ring, he had what Cain wanted. Still, he remained calm and thought for a long time before taking out an apple and a starry gem.

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he saw the apple. It was similar to the flower, but its power was much more potent, and he could feel his blood vibrating just from its presence.

”There is a sacred tree in my familyʼs home called Sanguis Blood Tree. Before, I took grasses that grew around it, but this one is an authentic fruit. It is precious, and my mother granted it to me before my journey toward Gaia with the Crown Prince. It has immense healing powers for Wave Kings, but it can also be used as a cultivation treasure, having a very potent effect on Blood Rebirth.”

Cain did not doubt Desmondʼs words since just one look was enough to tell him that the fruit was a treasure that even Wave Kings could only dream of. If he were to use it, pushing his Blood Rebirth to the peak of the Golden Stage would not be complicated.

Of course, the fruitʼs power was immense, and ingesting too fast could lead to problems, but Cain was ready to take his time with it.

Although the fruit was what he needed, Cain maintained control, and his eyes turned to the starry gem. Desmond noticed, and only then did he explain the Saint Technique in it.

”Its name is Blood Wings. The technique transmutes the userʼs Blood Energy, creating ethereal wings that grant flight and immense power. The wingsʼ flutter corresponds to the userʼs heartbeat, making them faster and more formidable with each pulsation.

Although it is just a hypothesis, I believe it would integrate perfectly with your Asura Form. It has four levels, with the first meant for Wave Champions, the second for Wave Kings, and the last two for those at the Apotheosis Realm.”

Cain could not help but smile since the Blood Wings seemed to be truly perfect for him. It would integrate flawlessly with Asura Form, pushing his speed to the next level.

Cain considered things for a moment before softly nodding.

”I agree to exchange my Asura Form with its Three Gears for the Blood Apple and your Blood Wings.”

Desmond was pleased with the transaction. Although Blood Wings was a powerful technique, it was not one of the secret techniques of the Titan Level of his family, so he could exchange them if he thought it to be correct. He waved his hand, signaling for Cain to take them, but this one did not.

”We will need to wait a few hours since I cannot hand over a starry gem with Asura Form to you right now.”

Desmond was a little surprised, but an idea soon came to his mind. Cain might have to speak with his master to secure a starry gem.

Engraving a Saint Technique in a starry gem required more than just learning enough of it to use in battle. You must have reached complete mastery over it and understand its core principles.

Desmond was smart enough not to put Cian in a complicated position with his master and simply nodded before standing up and storing the apple and starry gem.

”No problem. Then I will speak to you in the morning to finish the deal.”

With those words, Desmond left the room and went to the residence granted to him by the Fourth Imperial Prince. He would remain there until the deal was done before returning with the Crown Prince.

Although he had remained with the Fourth Imperial Prince for the latter part of the Imperial Feast, he would not be so rude as to ignore the Crown Prince. He had just stayed away since he could not tolerate the presence of the Third Imperial Prince.

Cain saw the young man leave, and only once he was utterly alone did he take out an empty starry gem from his space ring. He did not have to ask anyoneʼs permission to pass down the Asura Form with its Three Gears since he made it, and no one knew it better than him. However, if people wanted to speculate, he was more than happy to add mysticism to his background.

As for the time asked to finish the deal, Cain needed a few hours to engrave the technique. After all, the information inscribed in the starry gem would be more than just words.

He took a deep breath and put the gem on his forehead before sending his Ego Wave into it, slowly engraving the knowledge to practice Asura Form all the way to the Third Gear.

It took him several hours, but Cain was finally done by the time the sun was rising in the sky. Desmond was very punctual and came to meet him.

Not wanting to waste time, Cain handed the starry gem to Desmond, and he did the same with the apple and Blood Wings. Both of them smiled as they stretched their hands before the Bahamut left.

Cain wanted to test the power of the fruit and the skill, but he had other business.
