The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

221  Blade Dimension (I) n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The battle between Cain, Antony, William, and the seven Essence Wave Warriors against the Lightning Lupus lasted over half an hour and leveled everything around them.

Deep wounds were all over the Lightning Lupus, with parts of its body covered in a layer of frost, but the humans were not any better.

Cain's left arm was broken, and so was Antony's right leg, and there was a large cut on William's chest as a claw strike managed to pierce his armor and reach his skin. "¡BOOM!"

A shock wave echoed across the battlefield as a fist bathed in Blood Lightning collided with a lightning claw. Cain's eyes narrowed as he felt the bones on his wrist and shoulder about to snap, but he resisted long enough until a light spear collided in the Lightning Lupus' left ribs.

The light spear pushed the Peak Wave Champion Beast away with a bloody hole in its chest, and just as it turned toward the shining young man in the air, a barrage of spells came at it. The beast had no problem dodging those spells but allowed Antony to fire light arrows that forced it to pull back.

It took all of the Lightning Lupus' focus to dodge those arrows, which is why it did not notice William appear right behind it. An ice armor that covered Williman burst with cold energy the instant he tackled the Peak Wave Champion Beast.

"AWW!" The Lightning Lupus yelled in pain as the tackle sent it flying away, and things were not over. While the beast was in mid-air, Cain jumped toward it and fired a ferocious right hook to its head.

"Crack."

The sound of bones cracking emerged from the Lightning Lupus' skull as that blow sent it crashing into the ground.

Antony, William, and the seven Essence Wave Cultivators smiled when they heard that sound since it meant that the damage to the Lightning Lupus had reached a critical point. None of the soldiers wanted to lose that chance, and they flashed at full speed toward the crashing zone as they made their Wave explode and were ready to unleash their mighties attacks on the wounded Peak Wave Champion Beast.

"Go away!"

The soldiers were around fifty meters away from the Lightning Lupus, a perfect distance to fire their spells, when they heard Cain's voice, and the next thing they saw was a blast of lightning.

Powerful arcs of lightning spread in every direction from inside the Lightning Lupus, instantly covering a radius of forty meters.

The second they heard Cain's voice, the soldiers stopped advancing, saving themselves from the blast, but their instinct screamed danger as the lightning arcs began to spread out even further, at blinding speed and with outrageous strength.

All the soldiers immediately ran away from the Lightning Lupus, but the lightning arcs were so fast that it caught one of them in a second, and everybody saw how it vaporized his body, killing him on the spot.

The lightning arcs grew even stronger after killing that soldier and continued spreading. Just as another of the Essence Wave Cultivators was about to get caught, Cain appeared in front of this one and put his arms forward as he formed a shield with his Blood Lightning.

Awe appeared in the hearts of the Essence Wave Cultivators as they saw Cain holding back the wave of blue lightning arcs. It was like a man stopping the might of a tsunami on his own.

Cain's bloodline granted him resistance to lightning, and his Blood Lightning was of higher quality than the blue lightning, but the power of the Lightning Lupus was too great. His entire body trembled, and burn marks spread across his skin as he held the lightning wave.

An overwhelming killing intent appeared in the Lightning Lupus as it saw Cain holding its attack back, but as it intended to pour even more of its Life Wave into the blue lightning, its body shook and puked a mouthful of blood.

The arcs of blue lightning vanished since the Lightning Lupus could not hold the attack any longer due to the severe internal damage, not to mention that the technique consumed its blood vitality in order to unleash its full power. Cain nearly fell to the ground once he no longer had to resist the wave of blue lightning arcs but was able to stand still as he focused on the Peak Wave Champion Beast and the terrain around them.

The wave of lightning arcs had melted the ground around them, making it seem they were fighting on top of a volcano!

'That was Lightning Rage. It was supposed to be a technique a Lightning Lupus obtained after becoming a King Beast, but this one managed to unleash it at Peak Wave Champion by using its blood vitality as a catalyst.'

Cain had already learned all he needed from his enemy, which is why he was able to react so fast to the Lightning Lupus attack. It would be a lie to say that the attack did not surprise him, but he knew it would not happen again, and it was their chance to end this battle.

"Attack!"

Just like the soldiers did not hesitate to follow Cain's command when this one told them to pull back, the instant they heard the order to fight, they made their Wave explode with all the power left in their bodies and flashed back into the fray.

The Lightning Lupus was not going just to resign itself to its death and made its Life Wave burst one last time as it charged toward the humans, full of killing intent.

Cain and William took the front while Antony and the remaining six Essence Wave Cultivators unleashed their most powerful spells against the Peak Wave Champion Beast.

"¡Boom!" "¡Boom!" "¡Boom!"

Explosions echoed across the melted battlefield as the nine soldiers clashed against the Peak Wave Champion Beast, slowly draining the life of the beast one attack at a time.

Cain saw how the Lightning Lupus flashed at him with its maws open, aiming at his neck. His eyes grew sharp as a cold light appeared in them, and he dodged those fangs at the last second before sending a right punch toward the beast's throat.

'It's over.'

That punch pushed the Lightning Lupus back, and while it could remain standing, it could no longer breathe and was drowning with its own blood. Fear appeared in the eyes of the beast as it saw the young man bathed in Blood Lightning walking forward, and the idea of running away appeared in its mind.

Cain saw that, but he was not worried. The Peak Wave Champion Beast was fast but received too much damage during this battle and would not be able to run from him and Antony. "Time to end this."

The battle had been hard and truly pushed Cain and the rest of the soldiers beyond their limit, so he would not play around with the Lightning Lupus and would grant it a respectful death.

Cain clenched his fists as he channeled all his strength in it and was ready to flash forward when it happened.

"Rumble!"

The ground beneath his feet began to tremble and did not limit itself to a small area. An earthquake covered the entire Blade Mountain!

Cain's eyes widened as he was shocked by the sudden turn of events. The Godslayer Humankind Empire's technology was incredibly advanced and was able to predict things like earthquakes with 100% certainty, but there was no such report regarding Blade Mountain.

"RUMBLE!"

The earthquake grew even more powerful, generating massive crevices all across Blade Mountain, and just as things seemed they could not get any more wild, the mountain peak shattered as a giant beam of energy rose into the sky.

"BOOOOMMMM!"

The energy beam seemed to have clashed with an invisible wall in the sky, and giant cracks appeared before collapsing, leaving behind a ten thousand-meter large portal!

Cain's mind froze for a second as he saw that gargantuan portal in the sky. "GO!"

Apex's voice echoed inside Cain's mind, making a burst of red light emerge from his eyes as he clenched his teeth and ran up the mountain.

Cain was the first but was not the only one, as all Wave Champion Beasts began to run toward the portal, forgetting about their fights.

Soldiers and students were shocked to see that even those dying Wave Champion Beasts moved toward the portal as if a force they could not resist compelled them to go. Most people were confused and shocked by the portal, but Dominic and Amos understood what it meant, and a ferocious greed emerged from their hearts as they forgot about everything else and prepared to flash forward.

However, Dominic stopped at the last second, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes as he flashed toward the student encampment.

When they saw Cain and Amos dashing toward the portal, everybody understood that whatever was on the other side would be amazing.
