The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 402 Facing Abyssal Wave Kings

Several shockwaves echoed through the air as the Scarlet King generated sonic blasts from the soil at his feet, allowing him to move at a shocking speed, fast enough to keep the distance between him and Zirun.

He moved in strange patterns, zigzagging across the battlefield, seemingly trying to lose the Wave King, but Zirun kept close behind.

At the same time, his Essence Wave gathered around Slaughter, making the weapon vibrate before unleashing arcs of sonic energy. These were not only fast but also had small arcs of dark lightning fused within them, enhancing their destructive power.

Zirun knew he could not dodge them since that would reduce his momentum, so he clenched his fists and sent strikes against the arcs of sonic energy, shattering them as he pushed forward. The man used every ounce of strength as he grew closer to the Scarlet King.

100 meters.

50 meters.

25 meters.

Just as Zirun was about to get within ten meters of the Scarlet King, his eyes widened as he felt he crashed against an invisible object.

”¡BOOOOMMMM!”

A sonic blast sent Zirun flying away with blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. He regained control over his body immediately, but a flash of fear appeared in his eyes as he did not understand what happened.

Despite his sadistic nature, Zirun was still a seasoned warrior, so he spread his Ego Wave in all directions. Dread appeared in his heart as he detected dozens of invisible spheres charged with sonic energy covering the battlefield.

Zirun understood that the Scarlet King moved in such strange patterns during the chase not to lose him but to transform the battlefield into a minefield. And by the time he realized what was happening, he was already in the center of it.

Unfortunately for Zirun, he did not have time to map the battlefield, as the Scarlet King appeared one hundred meters above him before sending a massive arc of sonic energy.

”Sonic Blade!”

The attack had the same amount of energy as the one that cut his arms to the bone, and the sonic booms made it impossible to dodge.

Zirun knew that the attack could put his life at risk, and dodging was impossible due to the invisible bombs restricting his movements. He gathered a massive amount of Astral Wave into his right fist, generating a silver tornado before firing the fist up.

”BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!”

A deafening shock wave spread across the sky as the silver tornado and sonic blade clashed. Zirunʼs arm trembled, but he managed not only to resist but also shatter the arc of sonic energy.

Unfortunately for the Wave King, before he could grow complacent with his fest, he saw how the fragments of sonic energy clashed against the sonic booms spread around the battlefield, taking their energy before bouncing back toward Zirun at a shocking speed in the form of an all-encompassing wave.

”Sonic Echo!”

The Scarlet King uttered those words as the sonic wave crashed against Zirun, slamming him into the ground. There were no cuts in the Abyssal, but the internal damage he suffered was critical.

A small smile appeared on the Scarlet Kingʼs face as he saw the might he could unleash using the Essence Evolution Path of Power. It was not as overwhelming as the strength of the Astral Rebirth Path of Power but was full of wonders and tricks, allowing him to defeat a Wave King.

Despite his lack of mastery over the Law of Sound, the Scarlet King could still deploy some impressive skills. Had he mastered the Law of Sound to the Law Fragmentation Stage, his spells would not have only been more potent but would have required much less energy to trigger, and Zirun would have died at the start of the fight.

Of course, the battle was not exactly fair since Zirun had lost some of his battle power due to the loss of blood vitality and the previous wound, not to mention that the Scarlet King had a Holy Weapon while the Abyssal was not allowed to use any Wave Artifact.

The Scarlet King saw how Zirun managed to rise from the ground, and the man had difficulty regulating his breathing and could not stop puking blood. He did not receive any injury, but the sonic attacks had already drained much of his energy pool.

In a battle to the death, the Scarlet King could kill Zirun, but he would be so drained of energy that if he were to face a new Wave King, the only path would be to escape. Once their energy pool was drained, an Essence Wave Cultivator lost over 80% of their battle power; that was why they focused so much on improving its quantity and quality.

However, the Scarlet King was not a common Essence Wave Cultivator. His eyes turned to the other Abyssal and allowed this one to regain control over his body.

”Your name is Samos, right? You and Zirun will attack me together now. Remember, the only way in which you have the slightest chance of survival is if you can take me by surprise and kill me.”

Samos clenched his fists as he looked at the wounded Zirun, and the duo nodded to each other before flashing into the sky together. The first unleashed golden energy that enhanced his speed, while the second made the silver tornado cover his entire figure.

The Scarlet King faced the two Early Wave Kings using all his power and skill, generating mines of sonic energy while unleashing barrages of sonic blades and, at the same time, using sonic waves to move at a shocking speed.

Zirun and Samos were riddled with injuries less than three minutes after the fight started, and neither had managed to put a hand on the Scarlet King, but the duo did not lose hope. An Astral Wave Cultivatorʼs body had immense durability and could endure tremendous damage.

Usually, it would only take a full-power strike to take down an Essence Cultivator, especially if this was an entire rank beneath them.

”AHHHH!”

Zirun shouted as he made his energy explode, literally transforming into a massive tornado that covered the sky and dived toward the Scarlet King.
