The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 925 Eternal sleep

Cainʼs eyes widened as he saw the massive metallic entity appear before him, sending a palm strike full of white flames. The strike clashed with the dark energy shield protecting his body, but within seconds, it would break through and land on him.

The young didnʼt know where he was or why this strange entity was attacking him. Everything was blurry, and his mind was filled with confusion, as he did not even know why he was fighting. Even his own name had faded.

Luckily for Cain, his instincts had yet to vanish, and they allowed him to react, urging him to kill the entity in front of him and not let those white flames touch him.

”DIE!” With a primordial shout of hatred and rage, Cain charged all his Fallen Aura into the Spear of Doom, instinctively triggering the Wrath of the Nine Hells!

Horusʼ golden eyes narrowed as awe and dread appeared in them. He could feel that the young manʼs mind should be on the brink of collapse by now, unable to form coherent thoughts. Yet Cain managed to trigger that killing strike, showing willpower and battle instincts that were nothing short of monstrous.

The Spear of Doom flashed toward Horus with a concentrated energy beam of seven powerful flames capable of leaving deadly wounds. The armor restricted his bodyʼs true power immensely, and severe damage could end his life.

Despite the danger, there wasnʼt a shred of hesitation in Horusʼ eyes as he carried on with his attack since Cainʼs resolution, willpower, and determination only awakened a monstrous killing intent in the true leader of Dark Sky.

Horusʼ right palm shatters the Aegis of the Fallen protecting Cain, while the left one deviated the spear so that it would land on his abdomen instead of his heart.

”ZNNNNN!” ”¡BOOM!”

The Spear of Doom, enhanced by the Wrath of the Nine Hells, pierced into Horusʼ stomach, leaving a large hole in the body of the Grand Humanoid of Dark Sky. At the same time, a palm strike landed point-blank on Cainʼs forehead, allowing the power of the white flames to reach his memories.

The palm strike pushed Cain back a few thousand meters, making him rip the spear from inside Horusʼ body, worsening the wounds in the Grand Humanoid of Dark Sky to the point that he could barely stand in the air.

However, while that exchange essentially crippled Horus, the effect on Cain was even worse. The red light in the young manʼs eyes, trembling non-stop since the start of this clash, vanished. Inside his soul sea, his Alter-Ego, the Sun Seed, had lost radiance, leaving it as nothing more than an empty vessel void of will and ego!

Cainʼs body trembled, and a sense of utter and absolute terror appeared as his mind shut down. Nothing was left of his memories and will. Everything was erased under the white flamesʼ power.

His figure remained in the sky, not out of will but due to the inertia of his energy. He lost all control over his muscles and strength to the point that the Spear of Doom fell from his grip, falling to the ground.

Silence echoed across the battlefield as neither side could believe what had happened. The Scarlet King had fought like a madman to leave the Dark Fog, but it seemed that, in the end, the scheme of the Grand Humanoids of Dark Sky had succeeded.

Horus could not even speak due to the wounds on his body. Yet, there was a bloody smile on his face as he saw how the Mind Severing Ritual had been completed, shattering the mind of Cain Laurifer, erasing every shred of his ego and personality, leaving the man in a eternal sleep.

ʼKill.ʼ That thought appeared in Horusʼ mind as a monstrous coldness emerged from his soul. Before, killing Cain would have been impossible due to the young manʼs immortal body and power. But now, he was nothing more than an empty shell, and they could make sure not even that remained.

However, before Horus could give the order, dozens of figures burst with immense energy behind him.

”Protect our King!” The Collapsing Lightning Emperor roared with every ounce of killing intent and rage in his soul as he proceeded to burn his life force without restraint. He was not alone, as all the other warriors of the Sacred Races by his side did the same.

The warriors of the Sacred Races had not moved since they feared they would only become a burden if they entered the battlefield and triggered the Humanoids of Dark Sky. But it was clear that something horrible had happened to the Scarlet King, so they needed to act no matter what.

Horusʼ eyes narrowed as he saw those warriorsʼ battle will and killing intent. They lunged toward the Scarlet King, intending to go through him if he stood in their way. Although he saw every one of them as ants, he could barely fight right now, so he immediately moved away from the group.

Of course, the fact that Horus moved out of the way did not mean his killing intent weakened in the slightest. With a single gaze from him, the thirty-two Humanoids of Dark Sky and six Grand Humanoids of Dark Sky understood what they had to do.

”Kill the Scarlet King!” Mika shouted with all his power as he guided the Humanoids of Dark Sky toward the Scarlet King, his eyes burning with determination as his soul screamed to butcher that person.

Pure killing intent also exploded in the heart of every one of the thirty-two Humanoids of Dark Sky, especially those that had faced the Scarlet King before, as they could not lose this once-in-a-lifetime chance to take that monsterʼs life.

The Grand Humanoids of Dark Sky also flashed toward Cain. All of them had been wounded by Cainʼs savage and explosive strikes, especially during the last stretch of their clash, but they still had more than enough power to fight.
