The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 250 : Sky Rising Pill

Cain looked straight into the eyes of the Collapsing Lightning Duke before bending a knee and adopting a knight stance.

”Your Highness, Vice-Captain Laurifer is reporting for duty.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke showed a small smile as he saw the solemnity of Cainʼs military etiquette. He nodded before waving his hand.

”Rise, Major Laurifer.”

Cainʼs eyes widened as he heard that. He knew that all his achievements and merits would improve his rank in the military, but he found it hard to believe he jumped past Captain and immediately became a Major.

However, while he was very happy about that honor, he also felt conflicted. A rank in the military was not just a title but a statement that you have made a difference and your hard work secured the safety of the people of the Godslayer Humankind.

Cain became an actual soldier around a year ago, so attaining the same rank as some veterans that put their lives on the line countless times for the safety of commoners did not feel that great.

Luther noticed the look on Cainʼs face, and his smile grew wider. The more he learned about the young man, the more he liked this one.

It was clear to Luther that Cain was someone that really loved and appreciated the military, unlike Uriel and his kind, who only wanted to rise higher in the ranks to improve their status in their families.

”Young man, I can see you have reservations but believe me, you have earned that rank. The amount of military merits you have gathered is more than some Majors obtained in their entire career.

Of course, just the amount of military merits is not enough. Yet, you have already done an excellent service by taking care of traitorous garbage and teaching a bloody lesson to those that thought they could look down on the military just due to the power of their families.”

Lutherʼs calm voice removed all of Cainʼs reservations about his current rank. The young man rose from the ground and bowed to the bald man before focusing on the Collapsing Lightning Duke with a smile full of determination.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke stared at Cain for a moment before speaking.

”What sort of deal did you make with the Blood Duke?”

Cain was slightly surprised by that question, and the name Blood Duke was completely unknown to him. Only now did he learn that the man with whom he made a deal called himself Blood Duke.

Although he did not like to reveal his business to other people, he was currently a soldier of the Imperial Lightning Fort, and a superior officer was asking a question, so he had to answer it. Besides, there was nothing wrong with it, and it did not affect the military in any way.

”In exchange for his assistance against the Martel Family, I promised the Blood Duke that I would travel to the Blood Sea and participate in an event called the Ascendance of the Blood Moon.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke and Luther were shocked to hear about Cainʼs deal with the Blood Duke.

”Are you sure that is what the Blood Duke asked you to do in exchange for killing Alexander Martel and making Sebastian Martel run with severe injuries?”

Cain noticed the strange behavior of the duo, but he was not in a position to ask questions at the moment, so he just answered the question.

”Yes. I am unaware of the Ascendance of the Blood Moon, but I must participate in it by order of the Blood Duke. Someone will come in a few weeks to bring me to Blood Sea. Once I am there, I will receive more instructions.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke and Luther look at each other, and there is a severe expression on their faces as if what Cain just told them would have severe repercussions for the Collapsing Lightning Sector.

Luther stared at the Collapsing Lightning Duke, and only after this one noded did he speak with Cain to solve some of the doubts in the young soldier.

”The Rise of the Blood Moon is a sacred ceremony that happens once every ten years when the energy of the Blood Sea reaches its peak. Geniuses from the Blood Sea participate in all sorts of trials to prove their might.

As for the Ascendance of the Blood Moon, that is even more special since it happens every one hundred years. At that point, the power of the Blood Sea reached a unique state, and only core members were allowed to participate.

The fact that you, an outsider, will take part in it will anger some very powerful people, especially since there have been conflicts in Blood Sea lately regarding terms like bloodline purity.”

Cain frowned when he heard that since it was clear the Blood Duke planned to throw him in the middle of a clash of factions, and the danger was evident for anyone.

Still, Cain gave his words, and the Blood Duke did his part, so despite the dangers, he would not back down and travel to the Blood Sea.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke saw the red light in Cainʼs eyes, and he nodded.

”Whether you are brave or just foolish, it doesnʼt matter. The fact that you did not consider breaking your word despite the dangers is good enough for me.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke made a golden box with a dragon figure appear on it and sent it toward Cain.

Cain could not feel anything from inside the box, and it was clear that the seal was extremely powerful. He stared at the Collapsing Lightning Duke, and once this one nodded, he sent his Ego Wave into the box.

In it, there was a golden pill with strange red runes all over its surface. Cainʼs Ego Wave could rely on the same information that his senses, allowing him to perceive the intense energy and vitality inside the pill.

The energy and vitality were off the charts, but the most impressive thing was the purity in them.

”That is your reward for taking the position of N°1 Killer in The Hunt across the entire empire. Although it was the portal to that unique dimension, the one that killed most of the powerful Wave Champion Beasts, you were the one that gained the natural inheritance, so I made sure they were counted as yours.”

Cain gave a small bow to the Collapsing Lightning Duke since he was sure many others would have wanted to give the credit for those kills to their sons and daughter.

Luther did not waste time and began to explain the might of that small pill.

”The name of that pill is Sky Rising Pill. It is a Peak Saint Pill, and even among powerhouses, it is considered a great treasure.

A young genius can use it during their evolution to the Wave Champion Rank. It will drive forward their marrow washing, strengthen their meridians, and improve their energy pool.”

Cain was amazed by what he just heard. Any of those effects would be of immense help, but the three together would help him rise to the Wave Champion with a very powerful foundation.

”The Sky Rising Pill is meant to be used during the evolution to Wave Champion, and using it on any other occasion would waste a lot of its potential, but you should employ it during your rise to Level 9.”

Cain was surprised when he heard the advice of the Collapsing Lightning Duke. He did not blindly accept the advice or reject it, instead asking for more information.

”Could you elaborate, Your Highness?”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke did not feel offended by Cainʼs words since, in his mind, only a fool would follow the cultivation advice of someone they had never met before just because they were stronger than you.

”In normal circumstances, there would be no reason to use it during Level 9 and waste nearly half of the pillʼs power, but you are in a unique position right now.

During the Ascendance of the Blood Moon, there is a special event in which you will have access to even better assistance to your evolution to Wave Champion. Of course, whether or not you can use it will be up to you.

If you use the Sky Rising Pill during Level 9 and attain that lucky chance during Ascendance of the Blood Moon, you could evolve to Wave Champion with Void Marrow.”

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he heard that. He was not surprised that the Collapsing Lightning Duke would know about his intention to attain Void Marrow since it was something any genius like him would pursue.

What truly mattered to Cain was the special events in the Ascendance of the Blood Moon that could help him push his marrow washing through the final hurdle.

He was not arrogant to think that he had already secured Void Marrow just because he attained Flawless Marrow at Level 8 and had been looking for a lucky chance, but it seemed that the lucky chance found him this time.
