The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 416 Slap

”I am sure there are plenty of people that would be happy to speak with you. Please go bother them.”

The Scarlet Kingʼs smile did not vanish, and just as he was about to speak again, two people got near him. They were a couple formed by an envoy of the Hell Clan envoy and a young Atrox woman.

”Kain, you seem to have found someone that tolerates you. Allow me to introduce my good friend, Marin.”

The one who spoke was Simur, the member of the Hell Clan who rebuked the Scarlet King when this one forcefully opened the doors to the dining table. A mocking smile could be seen on his face as he moved his eyes between the Scarlet King and the young Atrox woman while presenting his partner.

”So this is the rude person you were talking about. Well, I guess someone like that is fitting for a crippled.”

Marinʼs voice was loud, and everybody heard her. The way she looked at the woman with the book made it clear this was not their first interaction.

The Atrox with the book was not surprised that something like this could happen. She was not a pushover despite her condition, but before she could say a word, something else happened.

”SLAP!”

A slapping sound echoed across the hall as the Scarlet King slapped Marin, but it was not a simple slap since it had so much strength that he sent the Atrox woman flying to the other side of the room, crashing against a wall.

Silence reigned as the Atroxs and envoys from the Inferno Daemon Empire did not know how to react. Everybody heard Marinʼs remark toward the other Atrox woman, but for Kain to suddenly slap her with so much strength that it seemed like he would rip her head off was simply too much.

No matter what kind of relationship was between Kain and the young Atrox woman, his behavior was too overbearing.

The Scarlet Kingʼs smile did not fade as he saw the peopleʼs reaction. His actions did not stem from rage or uncontrollable wrath towards Marinʼs words or trying to defend the young Atrox womanʼs honor.

While the Scarlet King found the Atroxʼs women interesting, she could not incite an emotional response from a master of Order.

He slapped Marin because she was annoying, and there was no need for him to contain himself with such a person, so he just went ahead and acted according to his wishes. Of course, the Scarlet King knew that his behavior would generate a reaction, but he did not have a problem with it.

”Marin!”

Simur shouted and immediately flashed to the young Atrox woman, helping her to sit as he analyzed her condition. The Bio-Armor covered her face, but it was clear that such an attack would leave some injuries. Once he ensured she was stable, his eyes turned to Kain as a silver light appeared.

”What do you think you are doing!”

A silver force field emerged from Simur, rushing toward the Scarlet King, but he responded with his own red force field, and both clashed in the middle of the room.

The Scarlet King could easily sunder Simurʼs Ego Wave. Yet, that would reveal too much, so he kept the clash tight. Still, that was very impressive since it meant that despite Kainʼs much weaker cultivation base, his willpower was still as high as that of Simur.

Simurʼs face contorted as he noticed he could not overpower Kain, and a cold light emerged as he waved his hand, taking a golden sword from his space ring.

The Scarlet Kingʼs smile did not vanish as he extended his right arm, making a red saber emerge, and calmly walked towards the Peak Wave Champion of the Hell Clan.

Neither Simur nor the Scarlet King triggered their Essence Wave. While this was a fight, using their energy pool would transform it into a significant problem that could endanger their stay in Evernight.

Simurʼs coldness grew more intense as his body began to glow with golden light. That was not a reaction from his Essence Wave but merely a response from the Law of Light as he harnessed its power.

In complete contrast, darkness began to spread across the Scarlet Kingʼs body as he harnessed the power of the Law of Darkness.

People in the room were surprised that Kain managed to draw the power of the Law of Darkness despite being only an Early Wave Champion. If they were to see the reaction of the Law of Blood, the shock would be so much that they would not even know how to react.

Simur was also surprised, but his eyes narrowed as he flashed forward with overwhelming speed, piercing his sword straight into Kainʼs chest with incredible skill and momentum. He was confident in his skill, but all that shattered as Kain dodged the sword strike easily.

The Scarlet Kingʼs mind and soul had yet to become strong enough to use the Second Level of The Flow, but his mastery over the First Level of the skill, which allowed him to predict the enemyʼs movement, had grown to the point that it became nearly instinctive.

”¡Boom!”

A small blast echoed across the hall as the Scarlet King hit the handle of the golden sword in Simurʼs hand, forcing him to drop it before placing Slasher beneath the neck of Simur.

A sense of utter shock spread across the hall as Kainʼs martial skill was above everybody else. Of course, that did not mean they would lose an actual battle since they have greater cultivation bases, and Essence Cultivators tend to focus on long-range battles, not melee.

Simur understood all that, but the shock that assaulted his heart was too great as he saw the red eyes focused on him and the blade on his neck that seemed ready to sever his head.

The Scarlet King stared at Simur for a moment before his smile widened, and his eyes burst with red light for a fraction of a second, too fast for any of the present to discern it.

”SHHHH!”
