The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 374 Trap (III)

Ocius used his energy to remain in the air as he looked at the people above the metal gate, wrath evident as he focused on Timothy.

”What is the meaning of this!?”

Timothy showed a mocking smile as he heard Ociusʼs question and did not bother answering. Instead, the Middle Wave King responded.

”Are you really so naive as to not understand your position, Ocius? Did you believe that reaching the Silent Vault with the help of a simple alderman was possible? Timothy never had access to this place, and I opened the gate to the tunnel you just went through.”

Ocius focused on the Middle Wave King, fear in his eyes, yet he clenched his teeth and shouted.

”Alderman Farius, do you think you can take my belongings without anyone noticing? The Elders will punish you for this!”

”Hmph, there are no elders present in the castle, and even if they were, I would simply share a portion of the wealth with them. That is how things work. Timothy knows this, which is why he contacted me while you were negotiating. You, on the other hand, let greed cloud your judgment and want to keep the treasure for yourself.” y Virtual Library Empire

Fariusʼ face was expressionless as he and the other two Wave Kings ascended, approaching Ocius with coldness in their eyes as their Wave cloaked their bodies.

Ocius rose further and further until he reached the metal gate above him. The old Wave King could feel the endurance of the metal gate and knew he could not break through it, so there was no way to escape from the trio.

Timothy watched everything with a smile on his face as he pushed his Essence Wave to the limit, activating his armor and enveloping himself in a strong current of revolving water. He would not participate in the fight, but that did not mean the collateral damage would not affect him, so he had to be careful.

”Wait, I will hand the treasure over to you and forget about this. There is no need to escalate things. Please, we are all members of the Azure Royal Family and have the blood of the Azure Emperor running through our veins.”

Ocius shouted, but his words seemed to have zero effect on the trio as they surrounded him. The fear in his eyes was evident as his heart beat faster and faster.

”Our fight will draw attention, and people will know that you have killed me!”

The trio only smiled as they heard Ociusʼ warning. They had already made sure to erase any evidence of the old Wave Kingʼs arrival into this place.

”Letʼs end this!” Farius shouted as his Astral Wave exploded, making him incredibly powerful as azure flames covered his body

He, along with the other two, charged toward Ocius, full of killing intent. They activated their armor and burst their Waves. Even if Ocius was weak, one could never underestimate a cornered animal.

The trio was prepared for an intense fight, but what happened next left them in total shock. Just as they were less than ten meters from Ocius, his head exploded!

ʼSuicide!?ʼ

That thought appeared in the trioʼs mind, but it immediately faded as they spotted a golden object amidst the burst of blood.

”A space ring!”

The reason for Ociusʼ head exploding was the activation of that space ring, and before they could recover from the shock, two masked figures emerged from the ring. One wore a red helmet wielding a red saber, and the other a black helmet with branches emerging from his back.

The man in the black helmet extended the branches from his back to cover the ceiling and ground in a fraction of a second, encompassing the entire battlefield into a wood prison, while the man in the red helmet charged toward Farius.

Despite the shock, Farius was a seasoned warrior and made the Astral Wave on his arm burst as his gauntlets glowed with azure energy, reinforcing them as he struck at the red saber. The other two Wave Kings attacked the man in the red helmet from the sides.

The trio did not know what was happening and could sense that the aura of the man in the black helmet was much greater than theirs. Luckily, he seemed focused on preventing anyone from escaping, allowing them to concentrate on the man in the red helmet.

Unlike the man in the black helmet, the one in red seemed to have an energy pool that did not surpass the Early Wave King Realm, so they immediately decided to eliminate this one quickly before working together against the other person.

Cain figured out the trioʼs battle plan immediately, and his only response was to make his Ego Wave burst as the edge of his blade grew monstrously powerful, summoning the power of the Sundering Concept.

Fariusʼ fist clashed with the blade, and the strength behind it was immense, protected by a Golden Wave Artifact, so he did not fear being harmed. It was not the first time he had faced a cold weapon, and he was sure he could push it away.

However, all confidence shattered as the blade pierced his gauntlets before carrying on through Fariusʼ hand, severing his entire right arm!

Shock overwhelmed Farius, and the same happened with the other two Wave Kings. When the duo saw the wound on their leader, their first thought was not to help but to do everything in their power to escape.

Unfortunately, before they could even move, daggers moving at a shocking speed pierced their lungs!

The last time Cain confronted a Middle Wave King was less than a year ago. He had to exert his full power just to be on par with the opponent despite the latterʼs Evolution Core being wounded.

Now, Cain could cripple a Middle Wave King in an instant and deal with two Early Wave Kings using his secondary weapon at the same time!

Cainʼs eyes were focused, and there was no sign of excitement for his immense burst of strength as he clenched his left fist. Concentrating his Astral Wave within, he delivered a punch straight to Fariusʼ heart with all his might, crippling his opponentʼs energy pool.
