The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

70 Fighting a pack

A few hundred kilometers from Korin City, a forest contained a Tier 1 Danger Zone full of Wave Beast. There was a pack of five Earth Lions in it, and they were devouring corpses of other Wave Beasts when something happened.

“Crack!” The sound of the ground cracking echoed through the forest as a male humanoid figure stamped and propelled his body with immense momentum toward the pack.

The man emerged from a blind spot and was able to reach the pack before the Earth Lions could get battle ready. He got near one of the Level 2 Wave Beasts before landing a blow on its body and triggering a blast, shattering the beast’s ribs and lungs.

He had just neutralized one of the Earth Lions when the rest of the beasts lunged at him. Without hesitation, he moved back, dodging the claws that sought to dismember him.

It was easy for him to dodge the Level 2 Earth Lions, but there was one among the pack that reached Level 3 and managed to keep up with his speed.

He saw how the Level 3 Earth Lion dashed forward and was about to lunge toward him with its maws open, but his gaze had no fear or concern.

Just as the Level 3 Earth Lion was about to reach the man, six fifty-centimeter-long ice spears emerged from the distance and crashed on its body.

“Ahhh!” The Earth Lion howled in pain due to the projectiles. The ice spears did not kill it due to its resilient body but managed to interrupt its attack and push it away from the man.

Seeing the ice spears thrust its leader away disoriented the rest of the pack, something the man took full advantage of, flashing toward them and landing a direct blow on one of the Level 2 Earth Lions, triggering another blast that killed the beast.

.....

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

The last two Level 2 Earth Lions roared as they saw their comrade die and attacked the man ferociously. Unlike before, the man did not run but dashed forward, entering a melee battle with the Wave Beasts.

The Level 3 Earth Lion stood up, full of rage, as it gazed in the direction from where the projectiles emerged. The ice spears pierced its body, but they only managed to penetrate around twenty centimeters, so they did not threaten its life.

It was ready to flash forward when it felt a burst of Wave, this time from the opposite direction.

Clearly, the assailant had moved around the forest, changing their position to take full advantage of the darkness and that their enemy did not know their location.

A single ice spear almost four times larger than before flashed toward the Level 3 Earth Lion. The projectile this time was much more powerful but lacked somewhat in terms of speed.

The Level 3 Earth Lion prepared to dodge it when the spears piercing its body exploded into a freezing fog that paralyzed it and hindered its sight. There was nothing the beast could do as the giant ice spear landed right between its eyes, destroying its entire head.

Less than two minutes after the death of the Level 3 Earth Lions, the man killed the other two Wave Beasts.

Once all the Wave Beast were killed, the hidden shooter emerged from the darkness. Beelze’s body emitted a cold aura, and the gauntlets covering her hands glowed with blue light, each with a thirty-centimeter-long ice blade.

Cain saw how Beelze got near the Level 3 Earth Lion and removed the beast’s heart. Since she killed the Wave Beast, he had nothing to say about it and instead went ahead with his training.

He buried his hands into the fresh corpses and began to practice the Blood Refinement Art.

Beelze’s eyes narrowed as she saw how Cain mummified the Wave Beast’s corpse in just a few minutes before doing the same with the other three.

Once Cain finished with the four Level 2 Earth Lions, he turned to the one at Level 3. Although Beelze took the beast’s heart which contained the highest purity of blood, there was still a lot left in the rest of the body.

“Can I?”

“I don’t have use for the corpse, so go ahead.”

The corpse did not belong to him, so Cain asked for permission, and Beelze gave it immediately.

Cain devoured until the last drop of blood in the Level 3 Earth Lion before the duo left the zone and continued their hunting. It continued the entire night, killing Wave Beasts and slowly advancing through the forest.

Beezle and Cain were Level 2 Wave Warriors, so spending a day without sleep was not a big deal and could not affect them.

When the first ray of sunlight appeared, the duo stopped their hunting and again advanced at full speed. They used the time to replenish their Wave, ensuring they were full of energy in case of anything.

After another two hundred kilometers, Cain and Beelze reached a swamp. The area affected Cain’s sense of smell, but he could still perceive the general direction in which Salar went.

The scent became really strong after a few more hours, meaning Salar was not far away, but since it became night, Cain and Beelze chose to stop their march.

Together, they were not afraid of a Level 4 Wave Warrior, but that did not mean they could take the enemy lightly, so they decided to rest and continue their chase the next day after resting properly.

Since it was a fact that the enemy was close, they would sleep in turns. Despite having the [Basic Scan Force Field] tool, Cain went ahead with the plan.

A Level 4 Astral Wave Warrior could cover fifty meters in a second, which is why Cain would not let his guard down.

“You take the first turn. By the way, if you try anything...” Beelze did not finish her sentence, but she put her hand on a small branch and froze it before shattering it.

Cain instinctively crossed his legs and nodded with strength. Not even if he was ten times braver would he dare to test Beelze.
