The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 694: Ten minutes (I)

”¡AHHHHHH!”

An Inferno Daemon screamed in terror as his body melted into a black and foul bloody substance, which soon began to rise into the sky. As the soldiers witnessed this horrible scene, more screams emerged as all those whom the black rain had thoroughly corrupted suffered a similar atrocious fate.

The Godslayer Humans inside the domain formed by Radiance of Valor couldnʼt help but tremble as they witnessed the Inferno Daemonsʼ horrifying and agonizing fate, whispering thanks to the heavens that the Scarlet Kingʼs bright golden light protected them.

General Casidiusʼ eye twitched as he saw the millions of soldiers who had put their lives in his hands, perishing in such an agonizing way under the spell of someone who was supposed to be an ally!

”¡YOU BASTARD!”

The God shouted with rage at the dark heavens, but before he could move, black blood began to emerge from his mouth and eyes, paralyzing his body and energy. Although the corruption was not enough to melt his existence, it was enough to drain a significant part of his life force, and he was lucky since, thanks to his power, the effect was moderate.

Some weaker Apotheosis Masters could do nothing as their bodies, brimming with vitality a second ago, now resembled mummified corpses as they fell to the ground since they no longer had the strength to fly.

It took a lot of time to describe, but not even five seconds passed from when the first Inferno Daemon was liquified to when all that corrupted bloody matter and dark blood rose to the sky.

All that corrupted substance fused into the storm of dark miasma before this one began to compress, and under the horrified gaze of Gods and Titans, the Blood Kingʼs figure appeared again.

The monsterʼs aura was even stronger than before, with massive wings on his back, and everybody could see how a living armor that seemed to be made of solidified, corrupted blood emerged from his skin.

”¡Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

A smile appeared on the monsterʼs face before he laughed with so much strength that the sky trembled under his horrifying might. The death of millions of Inferno Daemon soldiers and the ocean of blood belonging to Divine Ascension masters and Gods transformed the Blood King into an even more ferocious and evil entity.

As a Master of Order, Cain was able to maintain control over his emotions, but even he could not help but feel stunned by the monsterʼs power. It took all he had to diminish the Blood Kingʼs energy to critical levels, but the creature unleashed a massive spell that drained the lives of millions, healed all the wounds, and returned even stronger.

”Ahhhh, Depravitas are extremely gifted in the Concept, and it seems this monster reached a very high mastery of the Concept of Blood, allowing him to trigger that spell. I doubt it can be used freely, and there must be limits, but none of that matters now.

Apexʼs voice echoed inside Cainʼs mind, and he could not help but clench his fists as he heard it. It did not matter if there were limits to that spell, as the Blood King only needed to use it once.

The monster did not attack immediately; instead, he simply gazed at all the warriors watching him as if wanting to taste the fear and despair arising in their hearts a little longer.

As an entity whose core nature was negative emotions and corrupted physic energy made flesh, tasting the fear and doubt in the hearts of those people was not only pleasant, but it affected his cultivation. That was why he was keen to make it last as much as possible. After, in the monsterʼs mind, the battle was already over, and victory was his.

The soldiers from the Godslayer Humankind gazed at the sky, and they did not know what to do now. The Inferno Daemon Invasion Army was all but destroyed now, yet they were facing a ten times worse monster, and that seemed impossible to kill since not even making his head explode could stop him.

”All warriors beneath the Divine Ascension Rank run back to the Crystal Mountains Fortress. No matter what, run as fast as you can and leave this battlefield behind!”

Shock appeared in the eyes of the Godslayer Humans as they heard the voice of the Scarlet King. Usually, the high-ranking cultivators would be the ones who escape in the case of a lost battle since they had all sorts of unique abilities at their disposal that allowed them to cross hundreds of kilometers in seconds.

Yet, Cain ordered the weaker ones to leave while the stronger seemed to remain behind.

The soldiers froze for a second, not knowing what to do, but Cain turned to them coldly before shouting.

”Obey my command and leave this battlefield now!”

That word was enough for the low-level warriors to spring into action as they began to run to the south, using every little amount of strength they could amass, with those capable of massive spells helping the weaker ones.

The monster saw those soldiers escaping, and his smile grew wider as if letting them think they could run before hunting them down was amusing to him. In the monsterʼs mind, prey would taste better if they had a sliver of hope in their hearts.

The Divine Ascension Godslayer Humans saw the weak soldiers running away, and it would be a lie to say they didnʼt also feel the urge to flee. The monster would surely hunt them, but perhaps some could escape. However, as they gazed at the Scarlet King standing in the sky facing the Blood King, their hearts hardened, and a resolution appeared in their eyes.

Instead of running away and hoping not to be the one hunted by the monster, they decided to stay back and cover the retreat of the millions of soldiers.

However, Cain never planned to simply stay behind and face death.

”Ten minutes! Buy me ten uninterrupted minutes, and I will gain the power to kill that monster!”
