The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 517 The final trial

-84 Grand King Beasts

Finally, the number of Grand King Beasts came up again, leaving everybody in utter dumbfoundedness. Not even if they combined the kills of all the other contestants could they match Cainʼs.

Lord Kabutoʼs eyes burned with golden light as he saw those numbers and the feeling in his heart.

ʼIs he? Could it be!?ʼ

The old man did all in his power to keep focused and was about to speak when he saw that the sunlight had not finished, and one more line of flaming words appeared.

-1 Divine Beast

Silence, absolute and definite, covered the Solis Clan Sacred Home as they saw that number. It was just 1, but it meant more than every other mark combined since it meant that the Godslayer Human had killed a creature in the Divine Realm!

”Cheat, he must have cheated!”

Fanir could not contain the emotional distress in his heart when he saw that final number and shouted. Yet, he soon saw how everybody looked at him as if he were a clown. The one that marked the number of kills was Lord Kabutoʼs Sunlight Sphere.

If the human had managed to trick it, it meant that Cain could trick the Ego Wave of a Late Divine Ascension Master. That would be even more amazing than killing a Divine Beast.

Cain glanced at the Deus Behemoth and simply shook his head as he saw the weak mentality of this one. His gaze did turn to the Patriarch of the Solis Clan, whose eyes had burst with golden flames as it seemed he was unleashing the full might of his willpower.

Lord Kabuto had been acting strange since the moment he appeared, and right now, Cain saw that other than shock, there was something else in the eyes of the old man, something that he could not quite figure out.

”Hahahahahaha. Did I not tell all of you that the tournament winner was already clear? Just watch the level of might that this brat can unleash!”

Lord Zanginisʼ laughter broke the tense and solemn atmosphere that covered the city as the man did not bother to hide his thrill.

Lord Kabuto overcame the emotional shock that assaulted him by that point and took a deep breath.

”Kailo, Sulon, Fanir, Lorin, and Cain. You five remain on the platform. The others, leave.”

The contestants heard those words, and the five whose names were not mentioned could only sigh as they exited the platform. However, the other four remaining Deus Behemoth warriors did not have expressions full of joy as they all turned to the Godslayer Human with complicated expressions.

How were they supposed to overcome the young man who managed to kill nearly one hundred Grand King Beasts and a Divine Beast?

”You five have ten minutes to recover. After that, a battle royal will begin, and the last one standing will win!”

Just as the people wondered what the subsequent trial would be, they heard those words and were shocked. The tournament was supposed to last an entire month, yet Lord Kabuto declared that the winner would emerge from the next fight.

A flash of fighting will appear in the eyes of the Deus Behemoths as that was excellent news for them. None was confident in their chances against the Godslayer Human, but things would be different if they worked together.

That was especially true since Cain had not had time to completely recover, as Lord Zanginisʼs energy only stabilized his wounds.

”Kabuto!”

Not even a second after Kabuto stated the rules of the last contest, Lord Zanginisʼ voice echoed with so much strength that it resembled the roar of a mythological beast. There was a flash of rage in the old manʼs eyes as he saw the level of bias being displayed against Cain.

Kabutoʼs eyes narrowed as he gazed at Lord Zanginis but maintained a stern expression and watched over the contestants.

”It is fine.”

Before things could escalate, Lord Zanginis heard Cainʼs voice. He saw how the human looked at him with a smile before adopting a meditative position on the ground, only for golden flames full of bursting vitality to spread across his body the next second.

Thanks to the few minutes of rest, Cainʼs Ego Wave had regained some of its power, and he was able to conjure Radiance of Life, improving his body condition as he waited with his eyes closed.

When the Deus Behemoths on the platform saw how Cainʼs body began to heal, they all immediately adopted a square formation around him as they began circulating their energy, trying to regain as much power as possible during the next ten minutes.

Silence returned as everybody waited to see what would happen. Although the four Deus Behemoths would work together, no one knew how things could come out since they would face a young man capable of killing a Divine Beast. No matter how weak and tired Cain was, underestimating him would surely be a deadly mistake.

Lord Kabuto did not utter a single word, and his eyes could not leave Cainʼs figure as he counted every second until he finally raised his hand and lowered it down.

”Begin!”

”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!”

The signal had barely appeared when the four Deus Behemoths made their Astral Wave burst with all their power as they flashed toward Cain, ready to use everything they had. Everybodyʼs eyes were on this battle since they wanted to see just what type of skills the Godslayer Human capable of killing a Divine Beast could unleash.

Kailo, Sulon, Fanir, and Lorin were using everything they had as they unleashed their strongest attacks against Cain, not containing themselves in the least. They were not trying to kill the Godslayer Human since they were sure Lord Kabuto or another powerhouse would intervene. Besides, their instincts told them that if they contained themselves in the slightest, they would definitely lose.

Just as the four Deus Behemoths were about to reach ten meters away from Cain and unleash their attack, he opened his eyes, and a red force field covered the platform in a fraction of a second.
