The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 181 - 181 N°1 Rising Roc

181 N°1 Rising Roc

The Lightning Star Cruiser reached its destination after almost two weeks of travel. It began to descend on a zone full of rocks and unleashed a gravitational pulse that leveled the ground, generating a plane field.

Such a level of destruction was simple for the Lightning Star Cruiser. While the ship’s offensive power could only match that of a Peak Wave Champion due to its lack of dexterity, it could endure the attacks of Wave Kings.

Not that far from where the Lightning Star Cruiser had landed, there was another ship just as impressive as this one. It had a picture of a giant golden bird engraved on it.

More than ten thousand individuals were around the ship, and one thing they all had in common was their youthful appearance. Large metallic houses were built around the ship, making it seem like a military camp.

All those youths were students from Wave Universities, and they did not come alone since not too far away from them, there were ten elders whose power was much higher than a Wave Warrior. These teachers only acted as watchers and would not interfere in the battles or anything else for that matter.

In the center of the encampment was a small structure that worked as the center of operation. All those inside it had powerful auras, but the two at the lead were the most impressive of all.

“It seems that the forces of the Imperial Lightning Fort have finally arrived.” One of the two imposing youths spoke with a large smile as he gazed at the descending Lightning Star Cruiser.

He had a handsome face, green shining hair and eyes, a thin yet muscular body, and a large black sword floating behind him.

After speaking those words, he looked at the man by his side. This one was just as young as him but had black hair and fiery red eyes.

.....

The physical characteristics of this man made it so that the entire group already knew of his background since there was only one Noble Family with a Lineage like that, and they were the overlords of an entire Sector.

Just the Hellblazer Lineage was not enough to impress the young man with shining green hair. Nonetheless, he knew that the youth by his side was one of the great geniuses of this generation, and even more important, this one worked with the greatest genius of the Hellblazer Family.

“Brother Amos, the two people you came to see should be in that Star Cruiser, right?”

The young man called Amos also looked toward the Lightning Star Cruiser, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

“According to my information, they are both there. The bastard is talented enough to enter a battalion that would come to this place. As for the other one, his talent is superb, and there is no way the higher-ups in the military would have sent him to any other site but this one.”

When the other students in the room heard the last part, many looked at each other with expressions full of confusion. Eventually, one spoke.

“No matter how that person is, since he is part of the military, his talent could never compare to people like us.” The one that spoke was a massive youth, almost two meters tall, with brown hair and bronze-like eyes.

He was one year younger than the rest of the people in this room, but no one had rejected his presence as his power and talent allowed him a place during the decision-making.

Many students nodded as they heard the tall youth’s words. When it came to the military as a whole, they would not dare to look down on it, but individually they could never lose.

Their logic was not so flawed. After all, Wave Universities were where the most outstanding talents chose to embark on their cultivation path.

There were exceptions like Levi, who hated the Hellblazer Family, and Lurin, whose family took the military as the main path for their power, but they were very few.

Amos’s eyes narrowed as he heard that, and he focused on the tall youth.

“My younger brothers did the assessment. Are you saying he made a mistake?”

Those words made the large youth grow pale, and no one else dared say a word. Even if that person was not present, no one dared to disrespect him.

That man was just fifteen years old, but his talent and wisdom allowed him a place among the ancient monsters of the Hellblazer Family.

“No, no, no. I would never dare to disrespect Lord Magnus. Someone like me could not compare with the wisdom of your younger brother. I am very sorry.”

The tall youth immediately began to apologize. Even if both had the same age, he could not hold a candle to Magnus Hellblazer.

“Hahaha, brother Amos, there is no need to put Jortar in such a complicated position. He was just uttering a common point of view held by those in Wave Universities.

If we are honest, even I found it hard to believe there is such a talented youth among the military, but if your esteemed brother says so, it must be right.”

The young man with shining green hair’s voice calmed the situation and made everybody relax.

Jortar turned toward the youth with an expression of gratitude.

“It is just as Lord Dominic said. I meant no offense to Lord Amos.”

Amos no longer bothered Jortar and turned toward Dominic.

“How do you think we should proceed?” Amos was a very arrogant individual, making it even more impressive that he would ask for Dominic’s guidance.

The green youth considered things for a moment before speaking.

“I am sure your younger brother made a good assessment of that man’s power, but it would be useful if we do it with our own eyes.

If you or I were to challenge him to a battle, it would generate all sorts of problems since we are one year old and both Level 9 Wave Warriors.”

Dominic then turned his eyes back toward Jortar and showed a large smile.

“Luckily, we have the N°1 Rising Roc in here.”

Jortar showed a smile full of pride as he heard that, and his eyes began to glow with fighting spirit. It was clear that Dominic wanted to use him to test the military genius, and he had no problem with that at all.

“I am happy to help Lord Dominic.”

“Good. This is what we will do.”

...

Shortly after the Lightning Star Cruiser had finally landed, soldiers began to emerge from it. Ten figures acted first, rising to the sky and landing in an elevated position where they could see everything.

Those were the Captains. In this mission, just like the university teachers, they could only watch and were not allowed to interfere in any part of The Hunt.

The rules for The Hunt stated that only first-generation Godslayer Humankind could participate. What that meant differed depending on whether you spoke about Wave universities or the military.

In Wave Universities, the first generation had no connection to cultivation. It meant all students who had yet to reach seventeen years old.

As for the Imperial Military Force, the first generation were all those that had yet to become Wave Champions or had arrived at that level within the first three years of their service.

Besides Cain, every Vice-Captains beneath Aaron had spent over five years in the military and was over twenty years old. However, since none were Wave Champions, they were considered part of the first generation.

It was clear to all that the Godslayer Humankind Empire made a big concession to the Imperial Military Force when it came to the term of the first generation.

Twenty-four Vice-Captains soon left the Lightning Star Cruiser, and when they saw all the Captains looking at them from a distance, they understood that everything from now on would be up to them.

Not all the Vice-Captains got along with each other, but they were all smart enough to work together in this first phase. No one would gain anything by delaying the generation of the encampment around the Lightning Star Cruiser.

The military was known for its strict discipline and teamwork, so it was not hard for them to generate a proper military encampment. There was still a lot of daylight by the time they finished, and the Vice-Captains were about to gather in the center of command when they saw a group approaching.

Levi was doing his work when he noticed that group, and his eyes burst with killing intent as he saw one of the men among the group. He immediately recognized Amos, and although he did not know the Hellblazer Family’s plan, they could not be good.

Levi clenched his fist, and a golden flame appeared in it, but after a moment, he relaxed it.

‘Jumping into the fight would be stupid. Besides, the one at the lead is not Amos.’

Jortar walked with a smile full of arrogance as he approached the military encampment.
