The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 488 Red Death (III)

The Deus Behemoth radiated a strange aura of decay and a putrid smell that could not be hidden. His appearance as a middle-aged man was just a disguise since he was nearly three thousand years old.

While an Apotheosis Realm Master had a long life span, three thousand years was a lot. Age had already begun to decrease the Deus Behemothʼs power, which was why, despite being a Fire Tribulation Apotheosis Master, he was the third strongest.

Damasko chose not to clash with the man, as people close to the grave often had strange behaviors and were often erratic and dangerous.

The rest of the Tier 1 Dark Factionʼs Leaders thought the same and chose not to bother with the man.

A satisfied smile appeared on the man with metallic fur as he saw everyone remain silent, and he continued shouting to Damasko.

”I donʼt need any of you to fight Red Death. I just need you to make him appear, then leave the rest to me. I will crush his skull beneath my foot.”

”ZNNNNN!”

The old Deus Behemoth had just finished speaking when the sound of a sword sundering the air echoed, and then shock appeared in the eyes of the Tier 1 Dark Factionʼs Leaders.

All six Apotheosis Masters had their eyes on the old Deus Behemoth. They saw how, out of nowhere, a red blade struck the old man on his right shoulder before descending in a vertical position all the way to the ground, bisecting him.

”What...”

That was the last word the old Deus Behemoth uttered before his body split apart, revealing a figure covered in bandages with a scarlet robe and a red mask.

A sense of complete and overwhelming shock assaulted the Apotheosis Masters, and no one could blame them since they only detected the manʼs presence after he killed the old Deus Behemoth. Fear emerged in their hearts as they thought of what could have happened if they had been the target and not the old man.

However, the six were still Apotheosis Realm Masters, and their willpower allowed them to overcome the shock nearly instantly. Lights of different colors appeared in their eyes as they focused on the man. It was clear to all of them that this person was the silent assassin who had been wreaking havoc on their domains.

Red Death.

Unfortunately for the Tier 1 Dark Faction Leaders, before they could utter a word or form battle plans, the ground beneath their feet split apart.

”RUMBLE!”

From the crevice of the shattered mountains, a demonic draconic creature covered in bright golden flames emerged. The Demonic Phantom appeared right below Jamaica, the Water Tribulation Master with vampire features!

Jamaicaʼs eyes widened in terror, and she tried to escape, but she was not fast enough, and the Demonic Phantomʼs maws closed on her. The next second, everyone heard the sounds of flesh tearing apart and bones shattering to pieces.

Two Apotheosis Realm Masters perished in a span of three seconds, but the other five were able to immediately rise to the sky and spread their Ego Waves as they looked everywhere.

”Watch out. The Essence Cultivation in control of the avatar is still hiding!” shouted Damasko. He frowned, realizing that no matter how much effort he put in, he could only detect the man with the red saber.

The same went for the other Apotheosis Realm Masters, and none of them thought for even a second that the man with the red saber who killed the old Deus Behemoth and the one in control of the Demonic Phantom was the same person.

The reason was simple: the avatar of death and destruction was an Essence Evolutionʼs spell, and the man with the red mask channeled a dense amount of Astral Wave in the red saber!

A smile appeared behind the red mask on the Scarlet King as he saw the confusion of the Tier 1 Dark Factionʼs Leaders. None of them even considered the fact that he was the one in control of the Demonic Phantom.

After several weeks of continuous training using the people of the Dark Factions as guinea pigs, the Scarlet King had improved his 18 Revolution Refinement success rate to the point where he was confident in performing it on himself.

Once he performed the 18 Revolution Refinement, it was just a matter of fusing the Blood Crystal Heart into his Astral Rebirth heart. The treasure not only completely healed his wounds but also jumped his cultivation to the Late Wave Champion stage.

Cain was a dual cultivator with a Late Wave Champion Cultivation in the Essence Evolution Path of Power and the Astral Rebirth Path of Power!

The reason he came to this gathering, after intercepting the messages among the Tier 1 Dark Faction Leaders, was to test just how strong he was. It seemed that he was truly powerful!

”Letʼs see just how high my current limit is!”

”THUMP!”

The Scarlet Kingʼs heartbeat burst with power as blood wings emerged on his back as he focused on the Apotheosis Realm Master with a single eye, making this one tremble in fear.

”You are next.”

In the minds of the five Apotheosis Masters, they outnumbered their opponents five to two, yet none felt the slightest confidence in their chances of victory. Not only did they not find the Essence Cultivator behind the avatar of darkness and blood, but they had zero teamwork experience.

Urun immediately made his Astral Wave explode, as a golden exoskeleton covered his figure, soon encased in white armor. Things did not end there, as two shields with sharp ends appeared on his forearms. These were not part of his armor but Platinum Artifacts that could function defensively and offensively.

Sensing the power of Red Death and seeing how two people had already perished, Urun was ready to use all his power from the start.

Unfortunately, before he could even prepare an offensive technique, the Scarlet King was already in front of him, hacking with Slaughter as a massive amount of darkness overflowed from the sword.
