The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 935 The Red King vs Dark Sky (V)

ʼHow!? How can a monster like this exist in a Seed World? We are part of the Depravita Race, yet he is playing with us as if we were mere toys!ʼ Horus clenched his teeth, the rage and hatred that defined his existence bursting with even greater intensity as he watched two more Humanoids of Dark Sky fall, knowing they would not be the last.

The Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky had suffered too many severe and crippling wounds, with the Spear of Doom claiming many of their limbs, diminishing their battle power with each exchange.

In stark contrast, the Red King showed not even the slightest wound on his body. His energy pool burned with the intensity of a small star. As the battle raged on, it was no surprise that casualties continued to mount for the Dark Sky forces.

If Horus was honest, he did not really care about the lives of the Humanoids of Dark Sky, and even most of the Grand Humanoids of Dark Sky were nothing more than powerful pawns he could use and discard as he saw fit. What truly wrecked his ego and mind, torturing him from the inside, was the agony of loss that fueled his fury and deepened his sense of impotence.

Despite his seething anger and mounting despair, Horus knew they needed to keep fighting and retreating, heading back to Lovecraft City. It was their only hope for at least some of them to survive against this monstrous foe.

Horusʼs eyes glowed with fierce determination and deep-seated fury as he continued to command the Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky, desperately trying to forge them into a cohesive force against the Red King, increasing their chances of survival.

The Red King made sure to keep a fragment of his focus on Horus at all times. The man was the leader of the aliens and the one commanding them in this clash, so it was essential to keep an eye on him.

If possible, the Red King would have liked to kill Horus immediately, as that would make the fight much easier, but it was not so simple. The onslaught from the Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky restricted his movements, and Horus always kept a safe distance.

ʼHow bothersome,ʼ a flash of anger at the alien in the sky appeared in the Red Kingʼs eyes, but even that primal and basic emotion immediately turned off, replaced by a sense of utter apathy as he continued fighting and killing.

A towering and imposing Grand Humanoid of Dark Sky charged at him with a roar, the alienʼs massive fists aiming to crush his skull. The Red King met its assault head-on, his spear a blur as it parried the giant fists.

The Red King was ready to deliver a final blow, but a wisp-like arm from a Humanoid of Dark Sky flashed at the back of his head, forcing him to duck to avoid the attack and drive his spear into the Grand Humanoidʼs abdomen instead of the head.

The Grand Humanoid staggered as the Red King twisted the spear inside his body, his face contorted in agony before the Red King yanked the spear free and brought it crashing down on the creatureʼs skull, blasting him to the ground.

Even the Grand Humanoids of Dark Sky, considerably more powerful than the Humanoids, could not endure the power of the Red King. Still, the aliens of Dark Sky fought with unwavering determination, knowing there was no other choice unless they all wanted to die.

Horus coordinated the aliensʼ attacks to keep the pressure on and give the wounded time to recover. The Red King responded with a whirlwind of lethal strikes, his spear cutting through the air with deadly precision. He spun and twirled, his movements fluid and seamless. Each strike found its mark, and black blood splattered all over the sky.

A Humanoid of Dark Sky lunged at him from the side, her claws extended, sharper than a Saint Treasure. The Red King did not even turn to the woman, as The Flow told him everything he needed to know.

He sidestepped and delivered a brutal kick to the Humanoidʼs midsection, sending her flying and breaking several of her bones. Another alien tried to take advantage of the momentary distraction, aiming a kick at his spine, but the Red King was faster. He thrust his spear backward without looking, impaling the attacker through the throat before twisting it.

”BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!” The revolving force of the Spear of Doom separated the head from the rest of the Humanoidʼs body. Like all other aliens, his entire body burst into a massive fiery explosion after his fall.

The explosion was so powerful that it disrupted the aliensʼ battle formation. The Red King emerged from the fiery energy before lunging toward one of them, bisecting the enemy in two with his spear.

”BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!”

Horus clenched his fist so tightly that it bled as he saw the death of two more Humanoids of Dark Sky. He immediately communicated with the aliens, forcing them to regroup and coordinate as they kept moving deeper into Atlas faster.

The battle raged on, the Red Kingʼs energy never waning. He was always one step ahead, anticipating their moves and countering with devastating efficiency. He fought with a blend of martial prowess and raw power, each move calculated to inflict maximum damage, using The Flow to predict the moves of the dozens of aliens.

His dominion over the Spear of Doom was beyond superb, as it resembled an extension of his arm, striking with unerring accuracy.

Although the Red Kingʼs powers during this carnage seemed mystical and obscure, seemingly coming from his previous life, the truth was that other than his willpower, he could not bring anything else from his previous existence into the fight.

The Red King used his powerful body, energy, and Laws at such a pure and advanced level that they manifested as nothing more than martial strikes, a state of granular control that Cain was not even close to attaining.
