The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 574 Killing the Umbra Clan

The newcomer did not break the ground, and it was as if he was part of the earth, flawlessly managing to rise from it without any sense of disturbance. His movement was so smooth and silent that even as he stood in the middle of the warriors of the Umbra Clan, none of them were able to perceive him.

”Impossible.”

Full of disbelief and shock, that word emerged from the Soul Kingʼs mouth as his mind could not process what was happening. Cain had just emerged from the ground, and he looked at him with a smile, his entire body set ablaze with dark golden flames as he triggered Radiance of Strength right before all his energy charged into the blade in his hand.

”Dimensional Rend!”

It was only as they heard those words that the members of the Umbra Clan perceived the young man who stood in the middle of their battle formation, but it made no difference as none of them were able to react to the next attack.

Dimensional Rend would normally create a small and thin tear in space from which an overwhelming amount of Blood Energy would emerge. Yet, Cain was able to perform a full rotation with Slaughter, severing the space in the form of a halo as thick as his arm.

The power of natural energy not only enhanced Cainʼs physical might but also allowed his spells to evolve into a stronger version of themselves due to the immense power of the elements now flooding into his Astral Wave and Essence Wave.

Two of the warriors of the Umbra Clan were too close to Cain, so the rending of space also cut their bodies in half as if their flesh and bones were made of paper, and what came next was an explosion whose power could threaten the life of Middle Divine Ascension Masters!

”BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”

A sense of utter shock and awe filled the hearts of the warriors from both sides as none of them could believe what they had just seen. Cain had returned, and not only was he able to hide from the members of the Umbra Clan, known for their assassination skills, but he unleashed a strike whose power was simply off the charts.

Cain showed a cold smile as he saw that his Dimensional Rend cut in half two members of the Umbra Clan, and the blast killed three more before sending the rest flying away with bloody wounds all over their bodies.

The power of Dimensional Rend improved exponentially thanks to the natural energy. However, the energy output of his attack was simply too high for the Natural Holy Weapon, leaving deep cracks in the blade.

The damage to the weapon made sense; after all, Slaughter was a Holy Weapon, and its power limit was the Apotheosis Realm, so something at the Middle Divine Ascension Realm was simply too much for the blade to endure. If Cain were to continue using it, the blade would shatter to pieces before the battle ended.

Unfortunately for Cain, he did not have time to worry about the blade as a figure flashed toward him, waving a massive hammer carrying an abominable oceanic pressure.

While everybody else, including Talon, was too shocked by Cainʼs sudden appearance and overwhelming power, the Soul King was a seasoned monster with thousands of years of experience, allowing him to react immediately and order Robert to attack.

Cain saw the massive hammer coming at him. Before he would have been forced to push his body to the limit to dodge the blow, relying on The Flow, but things were different now. He smiled as Slaughter returned to his heart, and his right fist burst with bright golden fire.

The moment that golden flame appeared, the temperature of the place grew scorchingly hot, and the most shocked of all were the members of the Solis Clan. All of them knew the technique Cain was displaying as it was Solar Flare Fist, which allowed you to concentrate immense amounts of sunlight energy in your punches to increase their power.

However, the energy in Cainʼs fists could not be described as sunlight. It was not the quantity but the quality of this one that had evolved to a whole new level.

”Sun Force Fist!”

Cain shouted the name of the enhanced skill as he took Robertʼs hammer head-on. One was a giant nearly three meters tall with a massive hammer, and the other was a young man just two meters tall with his bare fists.

”BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!”

A burst of bright golden flames and oceanic waves blasted in all directions as the fist and hammer clashed head-on. Robert had been enhanced at the cost of his life force, allowing his physical might and energy pool to reach that of an Early Divine Ascension Master, and he had his hammer that could push his power to an even higher level.

On the other hand, Cain could no longer rely on his Holy Weapon as he had grown too powerful for this one and could only use his fists. Yet, there was a smile on his face as he pushed the enhanced member of the Kraken Clan back!

Robertʼs eyes were empty as his mind was totally under the control of the Soul King, but he clenched his teeth and tightened the grip around his hammer as he used every ounce of his strength not to be sent flying away by Cainʼs fists!

Despite all the enhancements, Robert could not face Cain, who was now potentiated by the natural energy. However, he was not alone, and immediately, two members of the Kraken Clan flashed toward Cain from the left and right, trying to take advantage of his stalemate.

Cainʼs smile did not fade as he saw the other two warriors of the Kraken Clan attack. He focused on the one on the left coming at him with two small and sharp daggers, and his eyes began to glow with a burning golden energy.

”Sun Eyes!”
