The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 735: Defeating the Alchemy Sword King

Shock and dread appeared in the eyes of the Alchemy Sword King as he saw the young man holding the bodies of two Dark Kings. He could not believe what he was seeing and, for a moment, thought they might be fakes, but it was impossible to ignore the True Titan aura each of them unleashed.

The Alchemy Sword Kingʼs shock only grew stronger once he saw that the Chimera King and Unbreakable King were still alive. Capturing an enemy alive was much harder than killing them, yet the young man not only did that, but there seemed to be no wound on him.

ʼIs that the power of the Scarlet King!?ʼ

That thought echoed in the mind of every Divine Ascension Master sent by the Imperial Court as they gazed at the young man in the sky who resembled a god. His power was simply something they found hard to comprehend.

Cain glanced at the Divine Ascension Masters from the Imperial Court but did not bother with them for too long as he turned toward the Collapsing Lightning Duke and threw the two Dark Kings.

”I have sealed their energy, bodies, and minds, but they still might have some tricks. Keep them in prison, and make sure they are constantly watched. They must not escape, nor are they allowed to die.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke nodded as he grabbed the Chimera King and Unbreakable King. Although he had no idea why the Scarlet King wanted the Dark Kings to remain alive, he would not question the command. He had already come to understand that every action the young man did, no matter how minuscule or strange, was part of a grander scheme that he did not even bother to comprehend.

Although keeping the Dark Kings in his space ring was tempting, the energy radiation they released would destabilize the space inside them. Since Cain had a place to keep them, it was better to use it than to throw away the few top-tier space rings he had available.

After taking care of the Chimera King and Unbreakable King, Cain turned his eyes back to the Alchemy Sword King, this time really focusing on the man.

When those three eyes focused on him, the Alchemy Sword King felt as if they could see through his flesh and predict every move he might make. It was a suffocating pressure, and he could do nothing but tighten his grip on his sword and dagger.

”You are strong, and your abilities would have been of great help in facing the threats that assaulted the north. I saw that you were allocated to face the Blood Chimera Locust and, after the hybrid monsters were taken care of, went into a futile chase of the Dark Kings in the south.

The fact that you remained in the south despite the futility of the task and only returned now to the center of Gaia meant you were either a fool who only knows how to follow orders and cannot see the corruption in the Imperial Court or a coward who did not dare face the true threat to Godslayer Humankind.”

Cain paused at this point, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

”Or a traitor that played along with The Organization and the shadow behind this one.”

The Alchemy Sword King frowned as he heard those words, and anger appeared in his eyes with the last implication, yet someone else interfered before he could say a word.

”How dare you accuse our King of being a traitor!”

The woman by the side of the Alchemy Sword King shouted in rage, yet she had barely finished her words when Cain appeared in front of her. Before she could even react, he slapped her with so much strength that her body hurtled through the air and crashed into a mountain ten thousand meters away!

The Alchemy Sword Kingʼs eyes widened as the Scarlet Kingʼs speed was simply too great, and the young man could send the Titan flying with a single strike.

The Venomous Blade Alchemist Art focused on speed and agility, allowing them to display reaction speed and reflexes beyond their rank. Yet, the duo was not able to react to the Scarlet King despite putting their sole focus on him. That was enough for the Alchemy Sword King to understand what would happen if he clashed with the young man.

”Whatever the answer is, I will eventually find out and handle you and your family appropriately. Now leave this place, or else I will immediately brand you as a traitor and kill you on the spot.”

The Alchemy Sword King trembled as he heard those words. This was the first time in his life that he had felt so close to dying, and there was no doubt in his mind that if he did not leave right now, the young man would attack him, and his chances of survival were minimal.

Although it was shameful to run away like a coward, the Alchemy Sword King could only clench his teeth as he turned around and flashed toward the unconscious woman, carrying her away from the Azure Royal State.

The thirteen Divine Ascension Masters watched as the Alchemy Sword King left with the unconscious Titan, leaving them alone to face the Scarlet King. Dread filled their hearts, and before they could even make a move, Cain raised his hand and clenched his fists.

This simple action generated shocking pressure on all of the Divine Ascension Masters as they felt space itself beginning to crush their bodies.

Cain could have easily killed the group after they fell into his spatial seal, but he chose not to take that path. His eyes glowed with a red light, generating a clash of wills.

Although all of them were in the Third Realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power, the fear of death weakened their wills. They failed to resist the Scarlet Kingʼs willpower and, the next second, fell unconscious.
