The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 934 The Red King vs Dark Sky (IV)

The Red Kingʼs eyes remained cold and emotionless as he faced the aliens of Dark Sky. Their combined efforts, teamwork, and battle tactics created pressure that hindered him from landing fatal blows and taking more lives, but that did not alter the inevitable outcome.

His relentless attacks with the Spear of Doom inflicted increasing damage on the Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky. No matter how ferocious their resistance was, it was only a matter of time before their wounds reached a critical point, crippling their battle strength, breaking their formations, and allowing him to start reaping their lives.

The Red King was unconcerned about how long this would take. Having evolved to the Ascension Stage, his stamina, energy pool, and endurance had reached unprecedented levels. He could maintain this intensity for several hours without tiring. Considering that in just ten minutes, he had already severely wounded more than five of the aliens, they would all fall before he was exhausted.

What did impact the Red King was the aliensʼ mental resilience and endurance. ʼThey must know they will die if the battle continues like this, yet they remain firm and steady, not relenting in their attack or running away. I have to admit, that is impressive.ʼ

The Red King had to recognize that a force willing to fight to the death in a losing battle out of pure determination and will was impressive. However, a sharp and meaningful light crossed his eyes the next second as he analyzed the battlefield.

ʼWe are moving!ʼ Each of them was a life form capable of flying at a frightening speed, so it was not so shocking that they would be moving as they battled. However, the Red King noticed how they were not blindly moving, but there was a clear direction in their trajectory.

The next second, the Red Kingʼs eyes scanned the battlefield, for the first time not focusing on the aliens attacking him. He immediately noticed the presence of a Grand Humanoid of Dark Sky without an arm and a gaping hole in his stomach.

Horus was several hundred kilometers ahead, high in the sky, watching the fight with immense focus. He was far enough to be out of the immediate reach of the Red King but able to observe every single inch of the battlefield.

Realization dawned upon the Red King as he accessed the memories of the devoured Humanoid of Dark Sky. ʼSo, they are running back to Lovecraft City,ʼ he thought, his eyes sharpening as he grasped the aliensʼ plan.

They fought with immense ferocity not to leave behind a glorious tale but because they were desperate to survive. Simply fleeing would have been suicidal; the Red King was faster than any of them and would have hunted them down one by one, killing them all before they reached their headquarters.

By working together and fighting with all their might, they could push the battlefield back to their domain. It was their only true path to return to Lovecraft City, and once they were there, the situation would shift in their favor.

By this point, it was clear that all the Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky were Depravitas. Once back in Lovecraft City, they could discard their concealing armor and reveal their true forms.

At that point, they would be able to deploy physical bodies even stronger than the ones they currently had and, more importantly, unleash the power of the Concept, exponentially increasing their battle power and survival skills. The mastermind behind this plan was undoubtedly Horus, guiding the Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky.

ʼUsing the fight to retreat,ʼ the Red King mused, a small smile briefly touching his lips at the aliensʼ ingenuity. But in the next instant, his apathy returned, and he unleashed a renewed surge of strength and brutality in his attacks.

The Red King didnʼt really have a way to stop them from moving the battlefield, but he could burst with killing intent and supercharge his attacks, making sure to kill as many of them as possible before they could reach Lovecraft City in Atlas.

Horus saw how the Red Kingʼs rampage went into overload and clenched his teeth with rage. He had done his best to hide their goal, but it was clear by now that the monster had managed to figure out what was happening.

”Dammit, how could he do it so fast!?” The alien shouted with hatred and wrath, but no matter what, he could not lose control as his guidance was the only thing keeping the Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky alive.

He pushed all those dark emotions down as his eyes glowed, restoring the mental communication with the aliens and guiding the move of every one of them, driving their teamwork to the next level.

”BOOOOOMMMMM!” ”BAAOOOOOO!!” ”ZNNNNNN!”

Explosions, sonic blasts, and space sundering echoed across the Dark Fog as the battle moved deeper into Atlas.

The Red King attacked with absolute ferocity, and his energy burst higher and higher. His spear left deep and ghastly wounds on the aliens, cutting pieces of the enemiesʼ bodies.

The aliensʼ blood spread everywhere as more and more wounds appeared on them, yet they continued fighting with everything they had.

They had moved for less than fifteen minutes when the Red Kingʼs eyes glowed sharply. He moved his body to the side while driving the Spear of Doom forward with immense power and momentum, piercing the chest of a Humanoid of Dark Sky that had attempted to strike him.

Shock appeared in the Humanoid of Dark Skyʼs eyes as it saw the spear inside his chest, only for the Red King to twist the weapon, destroying all his internal organs.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”

The Humanoidʼs body exploded from within, the force of the blast sending shockwaves across the battlefield.

The Red King didnʼt pause; he spun around, using the momentum to decapitate another alien with a swift, precise slash. The headless body fell to the ground, black blood pooling around it before it exploded.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”

The death of two Humanoids of Dark Sky in a row marked the beginning of the carnage.
