The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 922 A fleeting victory

”BOOOM!” ”ZNNNNNN!” ”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!” ”BAAAOOOOOOOO!” ”CRRRRAAAAACCCKKK!”

The intensity of the battle within the Dark Fog kept escalating as Cain, the Collapsing Lightning Emperor, Angar, and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar unleashed their full power against the twelve Humanoids of Dark Sky. The fight was so fierce that it shattered the sky and earth, leaving cracks in the fabric of space that extended for hundreds of kilometers.

Cain fought like a force of nature, clashing with seven Humanoids of Dark Sky. These seven were the most powerful of the aliens, yet Cain still managed to hold the upper hand, his skills at a terrifying level.

The Spear of Doom flashed to the side, striking one of the Humanoids attempting to attack Cain from his blind spot. He swung his weapon backward without losing momentum, sending another alien flying away.

Just as Cain countered the attacks of two Humanoids in less than a fraction of a second, a massive fist came crashing down on him. It belonged to the gargantuan Humanoid of Dark Sky, resembling a meteorite falling from the sky with the power to level an entire Sector.

All the other Humanoids moved away, not wanting to be caught in the blast, while simultaneously blocking every escape route, forcing Cain to confront the massive fist.

Although the Humanoids of Dark Sky guarded every path, Cain could still escape if he put everything into it, but he chose not to. The young manʼs eyes showed a sharp light as his Fallen Aura concentrated into the Spear of Doom.

”Wrath of the Nine Hells!” Cain roared with killing intent as the Fallen Aura in the Spear of Doom transformed into nine different flames, each incredibly destructive. The air crackled with energy as he thrust the spear at the incoming gargantuan fist, generating a beam of destructive energy that filled the battlefield with blinding light and deafening sound.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!”

A cataclysmic explosion occurred as the beam of burning flames clashed with the fist of the gargantuan Humanoid of Dark Sky. The next second, a scream of agony echoed across the battlefield.

”AHHHHHHH!” The one screaming in pain was the gargantuan Humanoid of Dark Sky, as Cainʼs attack had left his right arm a bloody mess.

The offensive skill of the Fallen Archangel Battle Set left the Humanoids of Dark Sky in shock and awe. Ortan, known for his defensive abilities, had his right arm decimated. If any other Humanoid had received that attack point-blank, they would have been obliterated.

ʼIt consumed nearly fifteen percent of my total energy, but the power of the attack was immense!ʼ Cain thought, a fierce expression on his face as he saw the effect of his offensive strike. He felt a mix of satisfaction and exhaustion, knowing that he had given his all in that attack, but also realizing the toll it had taken on him.

Normally, Cain would have immediately followed that attack with a brutal barrage, but he chose not to. They had been fighting for nearly an hour, and the truth was that he was nearing his exhaustion point. That last attack left his energy reserves dangerously low.

Mika, the leader of the Humanoids of Dark Sky group, was just as shocked as his comrades. The Scarlet Kingʼs attack had destroyed Ortanʼs right arm. If that wasnʼt bad enough, all those Divine Ascension Masters, who should have perished due to the toxicity of the Dark Fog, were perfectly fine.

Never in his life had Mika felt so lost, but his willpower pushed him to continue. The Humanoids of Dark Sky were tired and wounded, just like their comrades, but they needed to keep fighting. Mika was about to command a new barrage when he noticed that the Scarlet King was no longer paying them any attention.

ʼIs he smiling?ʼ Usually, Mika wouldnʼt miss a chance to exploit the enemyʼs lack of focus. However, as he saw the Scarlet King smiling and looking south, a bad feeling arose in his heart.

In the next second, all four towers began to glow with radiant light full of majesty. The light was beyond beautiful, filling the warriors of the Sacred Races with a sense of utter delight, yet the Humanoids of Dark Sky felt only terror.

The aliens watched in horror as the radiant light from the towers began to burn the Dark Fog. As if that wasnʼt enough, the energy of the four towers began to resonate, extending the radiant light in all directions.

The relationship between the Humanoids of Dark Sky and the Dark Fog was akin to that of fish and the ocean. They could not exist outside its range, so the radiant light filled them with terror.

”Pull back now!” Mika shouted with terror in his voice, his message reaching every one of the Humanoids of Dark Sky in the four battlefields. He knew what would happen if they remained in a place outside of the Dark Fog; they had to retreat.

Cain saw the Humanoids of Dark Sky retreating but did not chase them. Instead, he focused on the towers with a wide smile. Through the A.I. Chips and computer rings, the Scarlet King could see the entire Sector filling with a radiant light that burned the Dark Fog. More importantly, he saw the delight and thrill of his people at this sight.

It might be just a Sector, but it was the first time since this war started that they had managed to regain territory, signifying a path toward true victory. If they did it once, they could do it again, meaning it was only a matter of time before they took back Atlas.

Some of the Inferno Daemons, the original owners of these lands, shed tears of joy upon seeing a piece of their lost land return to the light.

Cainʼs smile widened as he felt the thrill and happiness of his people, remembering all the hard work that led to this moment. He had to gather the full power of the Sacred Races, make them overcome their differences, and give them the tools to rise to new heights.

ʼIt was hard and exhausting, but it was worth it!ʼ Cainʼs eyes glowed with satisfaction as the radiant light was about to reach him.

However, just as he was about to step outside the reach of the Dark Fog, a figure appeared next to him.

Cainʼs eyes widened as he saw the entity. It resembled a Humanoid of Dark Sky, yet the light in its eyes made his heart tremble. Before he could react, the enemy landed a ferocious palm strike on his chest, pushing him back into the depths of the Dark Fog.
