The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 204  Killing stroke (I)

Cain focused around 80% of his Astral Wave on his legs in order to improve his speed. While 100% was an option due to his mastery over Wave Focus, that would leave the rest of his body defenseless, which would be deadly in a situation where hundreds of attacks would come at him every second. He had not run more than five hundred meters when another tide of Wave Beasts launched toward him, with the one at the lead being a Level 5 Horn Beast. Even without using his Astral Wave, Cain could have easily defeated a Level 5 Wave Beast, but now such an insignificant opponent presented a genuine problem. If he were to kill it, that would slow him down and weaken his body's momentum, allowing the rest of the horde to gang up on him.

No matter how strong and resilient Cain was, fighting hundreds of Wave Beasts attacking from every direction was nearly impossible. And even if he could, everything would be over once the Wave Champion Beasts reach him.

Cain bent his knees and passed beneath the Horn Beast, moving forward without losing momentum. The way in which Cain maneuvered his body was superb, showing granular control of every extremity and an awareness of the surroundings that could only be described as supernatural. After nearly half an hour and five hundred kilometers, the amount of Wave Beasts around Cain had reached such an outrageous number that he was forced to begin killing some of them in order to advance.

Luckily for Cain, a single thrust of Blood Index blasted every Wave Beast out of his path, but that gradually diminished his speed and momentum. Things were becoming more dangerous for Cain as he could feel the Wave Champion Beasts coming closer. He was just as fast as them using his top speed, so any delay in his path pushed him closer to a horrible scenario.

Cain's eyes narrowed. His Ego Wave showed how a Wave Champion Beast surpassed the others and was already extremely close to him. That Early Wave Champion Beast's name was Earthfiend Monkey, a beast known for its speed and strength. It was the beast that wounded William, forcing the young man to use the Berserker State Wave Virus.

Cain knew it was only a matter of time before the Earthfiend Monkey caught up to him, and there was no way he could outrun the horde all the way to the encampment. Logic stated that the best scenario would be to carry on a straight line, leaving the ordinary Wave Beasts behind before clashing with the Early Wave Champion Beast.

However, out of nowhere, Cain made a sharp turn to the left, diminishing his speed even more and making it easier for the thousands of Wave Beasts to surround him.

The Earthfiend Monkey and the other Wave Champion Beasts were confused about Cain's behavior, and the possibility of a trap reached their minds, but they immediately discarded it.

In the mind of those Wave Champion Beasts, there was no way someone would put them in so much danger just to ambush them, not to mention they knew, thanks to their minions with the ability to fly, that the military force made it back to the encampment. Even if Wave Champion Beasts were wiser than ordinary Wave Beasts, they were still beasts and followed their instincts and desires first. They commanded the horde to attack Cain with all they had as they pushed forward.

Cain could guess the train of thought of those Wave Champion Beasts, and the focus on his eyes grew even stronger as he approached a small region flanked by two small mountain ranges. He had already made it deep into the zone when his eyes narrowed as he saw how the Earthfiend Monkey ricocheted out of a large tree and fled toward him at a shocking speed. The Earthfiend Monkey advanced at a shocking speed through the air, and Cain would find it very hard to dodge the attack surrounded by so many Wave Beasts. Instead of dodging or blocking the attack, Cain jumped toward the Earthfiend Monkey, grabbing this one in the air before turning around as they dashed toward the ground.

The Earthfiend Monkey was surprised by Cain's action and could not understand what was happening. Even if the human managed to pin him down, which would be extremely hard thanks to its speed, that would only allow the rest of the horde to rip him to pieces.

Everything made sense once the Earthfiend Monkey crashed against the ground. The Early Wave Champion Beast felt its back hit something hard before a blinding light appeared. "¡BOOOOMMMM!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

An instant after the blinding light appeared, an explosion emerged from the ground, ripping the flesh on the Earthfiend Monkey's back and killing all the Wave Beasts around them.

That explosion froze the entire horde, and they saw a single figure emerge from the blast.

Cain was covered in a dense cape of his Astral Wave and Blood Energy that was working to the limit, but even with that, there were burn wounds all over his body.

Despite all the damage and pain, Cain's eyes were cold as he sent the command through his [A.I. Chip Module] and activated all the bombs buried in this place.

Blinding light covered the area between the two mountain ranges, and fire explosions killed everything around them. It was a majestic sight.

Hundreds of Wave Beasts perished in those explosions, with thousands more being wounded. It was like a chain reaction, and they were in the middle of it. Things only worsened for the horde since the next second, hundreds of figures emerged from the mountain ranges. The Wave Champions Beast were shocked by the sudden appearance of the humans and could not understand how they hid from their aerial surveillance.

Cain gracefully descended to the ground as he saw the bloodlust in the soldiers' faces and the fear in the horde. Everything that brought them to this place began to rewind in his mind.
