The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 516 Nearly a million

People saw with surprise and awe as they read those numbers since the man who achieved such a feat was only a Middle Wave King, not even fifty years old. Yet, he managed to kill over thirty King Beasts, and even more shockingly, he slew two Grand King Beasts.

When the other contestants saw those numbers, some frowned while others showed radiant smiles. Of course, the ones that frowned had lower scores, while the smiling ones were above.

The sunlight soon covered the body of the next contestant, a Deus Behemoth with shark-like characteristics, showing his numbers:

-5420 Wave Beasts

-874 Wave Champion Beasts

-35 King Beasts

While those numbers were impressive, and he surpassed his competitor in all three categories, it was clear that the value of two Grand King Beasts was much more significant, so he could only sigh.

Like that, the sunlight passed from one person to the other, and there was not much shock until it reached Kailon, the man with golden wings and eagle-like eyes.

-8420 Wave Beasts

-1274 Wave Champion Beasts

-68 King Beasts

-13 Grand King Beasts

Kailonʼs numbers were not that unique in terms of Wave Beasts, Wave Champion Beasts, or King Beasts, but when they saw the double digits in terms of Grand King Beasts, it was clear to all that the man had focused his power on the great enemies.

There was a radiant smile on the manʼs face as he saw how people looked at him, but his eyes soon narrowed with fighting will as he saw the sunlight covering Sulon.

-7941 Wave Beasts

-974 Wave Champion Beasts

-71 King Beasts

-12 Grand King Beasts

Sulon did not remain too far behind, having ended the lives of twelve Grand King Beasts.

Just as the people of the Solis Clan and the other powerhouses watching the tournament were surprised by the feats of the duo, their eyes widened as they saw the numbers that appeared for the young man with wolf-like features.

-4952 Wave Beasts

-364 Wave Champion Beasts

-96 King Beasts

-15 Grand King Beasts

Among the people watching from the sky was none other than Arthemis, and the woman could not help but smile as she saw the numbers above her little brother.

Fanir, the young man with wolf-like features and who mastered the Law of Space, smiled. Although his numbers in terms of Wave Beasts and Wave Champion Beasts were average, what truly mattered were the last two, and in those, he managed to surpass all.

ʼEven though I could not use the Spatial Rift Grotto before the tournament, my Space Assassin Technique allowed me to excel in this trial.ʼ

The young Deus Behemoth showed a smile full of pride as he raised his head and looked at the man to the right with disdain.

ʼHmph, you were barely able to survive the twelve hours. I would be shocked if you managed to kill more than ten King Beasts.ʼ

Fanir did not hide his disdain as he glanced at Cain, clearly bothered by having his time in the Spatial Rift Grotto taken. He saw how the sunlight covered Cain and glanced at the space above him with a mocking smile.

Not only Fanir focused on Cain since nearly everybody turned their eyes toward him, not because they were expecting to see much. He was just a novelty, and they were curious about how many Wave Beasts he had killed despite being in such a deplorable state when he reached the platform.

Soon, the sunlight materialized above Cainʼs head, and the first numbers that appeared left everybody in a state of silence.

-894,213 Wave Beasts

People could not believe what they were seeing. Even if Wave Beasts were weak and a Wave King could kill hundreds with a single strike, to have a number that neared the million was simply too much.

Actually, Cain was also a little surprised to see that number. He had used Blood Nails to kill the weaker beasts but did not really count them, and once the Divine Beast came into play, he sent the Holy Weapon back to his heart as he could no longer bother with them.

ʼMmm, the Sunlight Sphere must have counted the Wave Beasts that perished due to the collateral damage from my fight with the Draco Lightning Frog as my kills.ʼ

It made sense that the number of Wave Beasts dying reached such a shocking level since every time Cain and the Divine Beast clashed, they unleashed explosions that matched those of nuclear weapons.

”Hmph, he must have run away from the most powerful beasts and focused only on the minions!”

Cain heard that voice coming from the sky and saw that the one shouting was none other than Arthemis. The woman had a bad impression of him, but he simply ignored her, not caring about her thoughts or those of the people who nodded to her.

Just after Arthemis shouted those malicious words, her eyes widened as she saw the number of Wave Champion Beasts killed by Cain.

-35,195 Wave Champion Beasts

The number of Wave Champion Beasts was not as exaggerated as that of Wave Beasts since they could endure the shockwaves of Cain and the Divine Beastʼs clashes as long as they were not near the core. But still, seeing the number reach over thirty thousand shocked everybody.

This time, no one dared to utter a word, as they did not want to make themselves a fool like Arthemis, and quietly waited for the number that marked the King Beasts. Deep down, most of them expected that Cain had focused on the weaker beasts, as that would at least make sense of such a gigantic number, but they were out of luck.

-934 King Beasts

The number of King Beasts did not reach one thousand since those were only the ones he killed in the first hour. After all, once Cainʼs battle with the Divine Beast began, all those beasts ran away.

Nevertheless, it still left everybody with a sense of utter dumbfoundedness. There was no doubt now that Cain had not focused on the Wave Beasts and Wave Champion Beasts, and most likely, he had not even paid attention to them.
