The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 778: Decisive attack

”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!”

Dozens of explosions that could make the world tremble echoed above the Silver City as the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar battled the 34 Depravita Automatons. Each attack from those monsters was charged with a corrupt and evil force, but the Scarlet Alliance masters did not fall behind.

They launched forces that surpassed Aetherʼs Lawsʼ limits thanks to their Natural Inheritancesʼ help.

However, despite the massive and continuous explosions generated by the fight between the duo and the Depravita Automatons, they were drowned out by the sound of metal clashing. In the highest sky of the Prometheus Sector, barely a few thousand meters beneath the Crystal Wall, the sound of metal echoed, spreading for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Cainʼs Space Swords and Michaelʼs evil sentient weapon repeatedly clashed, spreading waves of golden flame and sharp dark energy across the sky. The duo was moving at a shocking speed, and their abilities were overwhelming. They showcased battle skills and reaction speeds that average Divine Ascension Masters could not even follow with their eyes, and their powers only kept rising.

Cain continuously teleported from one sword to the other while channeling the sundering power of the Trinity Space Sword Domain, but Michael Goldsoulʼs ability did not fall behind, and his weapon was even more special than the sacred treasures of the Fenrir Clan.

A flash of golden light burst in Cainʼs eyes as he dodged to the side, avoiding the evil halberd before slashing with the Space Sword.

Michael Goldsoul moved at the last second, stopping the sword from severing his arm, but a deep cut still appeared on his shoulder that reached all the way to the bone.

Since the Crown Prince could no longer use the dark aura to heal himself, that wound was severe, but Cain did not come unscathed from that exchange. As he performed his attacks, the evil halberd made a sharp turn on its own, bending like no metal should. While he teleported almost instantly, a small cut still appeared above his rib.

The cut was small, but Cainʼs eyes widened as it suddenly extended on its own. Dozens of cracks extended from the wound, each very deep, leading to intense loss of blood.

Cainʼs body was immensely resilient, and the power of the elements had tempered every inch of him, as well as his Astral Wave. His immune system and regeneration ability were surprising, making even the deepest wounds close down immediately, not even giving them time to bleed. Yet a single tiny wound from that weapon generated so much damage, even after he pulled back.

ʼA single attack that reaches my brain or heart, even if it is just a small cut, could kill me.ʼ

A sharp light appeared in Cainʼs eyes as he pushed Radiance of Life beyond its limit, forcing the wound to close and flashback into the fray. After the battle with the Depravita of Blood, his power had risen so much that no battle had been able to trigger his survival instincts, but this one did it.

Of course, Cain did not want to die, but thanks to all those life-and-death battles that pushed him beyond his limits, he had been able to advance so fast from a very young age. The red light in his eyes burst along with his determination. He would win this fight, take down Michael, and do all that without showing his Laws or Essence Wave Path of Power.

Seeing the bravery and focus in Cainʼs eyes made Michaelʼs rage burst as he flashed toward the young man with pure killing intent.

When all this began, Michaelʼs goal had been to tarnish Cainʼs reputation, smearing it as a murderer of millions of civilians in Silver City, and then learn as much as he could from his mastery of the Laws. However, now the only purpose was to kill the man; nothing else mattered as he could not let someone who understood so much of the Depravita Race alive.

The determination to surpass himself in one and the desire to kill in the other allowed the Scarlet King and the Crown Prince to explode with power and speed.

The Space Sword and evil halberd clashed with increasing speed. Cain was able to leave deeper and deeper cuts in the Crown Princeʼs body, and this one returned the favor, performing more and more cuts that extended into large wounds the next instant.

It did not take long for the battle to reach its zenith as the duoʼs momentum spiked. A Space Sword had just clashed with the halberd as Cain let go of its grip and teleported, but that made a smile appear on Michael Goldsoul.

Cain had just appeared when the evil halberd hacked toward his neck, carrying the full power of Michaelʼs force. His move was too evident, showing an opening that the Crown Prince exploited.

That attack carried all the power of Michaelʼs body and energy, and even as Cain used the Space Sword to defend himself, the blade still reached his neck, and immediately, the wound began to extend.

Cain pushed the halberd out of his neck as he triggered the full power of his Radiance of Life to the limit, concentrating all his energy on his neck as he focused on stopping the slash so it would not cut his head off, but the blood kept spilling everywhere. However, even as his life was hanging from a thread, a smile appeared.

Michael Goldsoul was full of thrills for a moment, but he suddenly felt his heart freeze as he saw that smile. His instincts screamed danger, but before he could do anything, a burst of energy appeared behind his back.

”Double Sundering Slash!”

Behind the Crown Prince was none other than the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, with a Space Sword in one hand and the Abyssal Frost Falchion in the other. He shouted as his energy exploded and hacked with all his strength toward the Crown Princeʼs back!
