The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

193  Inferno Ape

A few minutes prior to the first clash between Zarak and Bloodless #4, the battle between the human army and the Wave Beast horde reached its zenith.

"¡BOOM!"

A Level 7 Golden Rhinoceros rose more than two meters into the sky when a fist triggered a blast of golden flames in its belly. All the soldiers around that scene focused on the man that had slipped beneath the massive Wave Beast and killed it so brutally and beautifully.

He was a young man with black hair and fiery red eyes bathed in majestic golden flames. Of course, that was no other than Levi Hellblazer.

Levi was a Level 5 Astral Rebirth Cultivator, but his attacks could do lethal damage to Level 7 Wave Beast!

Due to Levi's inexperience on the battlefield, he was not fit to take the role of squad leader but was under the command of a man that knew how to fully explode his power.

Levi's squad leader was Frederick, a man in his fifties. Despite his old age, Frederick was a Level 4 Essence Wave Warrior, so he was still able to unleash the full power of his cultivation.

Frederick realized Levi's battle power from the beginning and reconstructed the entire squad's formation around the young man.

Levi's battle style involved large explosions, which could lead to friendly fire on a battlefield like this one, but Frederick emptied the area around the young man. Levi only had to worry about blowing every single Wave Beast in front of him to pieces.

A small smile appeared on Levi's face as he saw the corpse of the Wave Beast and felt his strength.

'I can kill Peak Level 7 Wave Beast with a single attack. It almost kills me, but this golden flame is worth it.'

Levi analyzed the power of his golden flame when a series of blasts in the distance drew his attention.

"¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!"

He looked where the Vice-Captains were fighting the Wave Champion Beasts and focused on one in particular.

A man bathed in red lightning clashed against a beast covered in flames, and powerful blasts echoed across the battlefield every time they collided.

Levi could not help but clench his fists as he saw that battle. Each of their punches could equal his full-power golden flames explosion, and both were moving so fast he could not keep up with them.

Levi was confident he could match any other top-tier Vice-Captain in time, but the one bathed in that red lightning was different.

They were the same age, and Levi was by far stronger the first time they met each other, but in a short year, things had reversed.

It was Cain's first year as a soldier, and he was already fighting at the highest level on a battlefield that involved Wave Champion Beasts!

A decisive light appeared in Levi's eyes as he made his golden flames burst with even greater strength and heat before charging toward the Wave Beasts in front of him.

Cain did not notice Levi's gaze nor the hundreds of soldiers looking at him with awe and admiration. All his focus was currently on the Inferno Ape, as he could not allow any distraction.

Despite the Inferno Ape being one of the most powerful Early Wave Champions, Cain was able to fight against it on equal ground for several hours. It was clear that Blood Renewal not only exponentially increased his strength and talent, but it also pushed his stamina to an incredible level.

Not far from Cain was an even mightier battle involving a man bathed in golden light and a two-meter-tall lion with silver fur.

The one that battled this horde's leader was Antony, the Level 9 Vice-Captain. He used light force in his attack, similar to Uriel, but followed the Essence Evolution Path of Power.

Antony used a bow, and golden light enhanced every arrow he fired. His skill was superb, and his attack carried ephemeral power that constantly improved his attack speed and penetration power.

It was clear to anyone with a high enough cultivation that Antony had gained some insight into the Law of Light. That allowed his attacks to achieve not only extreme speed but also all sorts of variations.

"BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!"

Just as the battle between the Vice-Captains and the Wave Champions beast reached its zenith, an immense explosion occurred in the sky above them. That was when Zarak collided with Bloodless #4, but no one on the ground knew that.

The explosion was so potent that the shock waves reached the ground, hurting the ears of the low-level warriors and beasts.

While it hurt only those beneath Level 3, the explosion was so surprising that everybody, including Vice-Captains and Wave Champions Beasts, looked to the sky. That behavior was not due to a lack of discipline or battle awareness but an instinctive response none could overcome.

Since everybody on both sides looked to the sky, no one should have been able to take advantage of that opening, but things were not so simple. There was one person among the thousands of soldiers whose willpower was able to overcome that instinctive response.

When Cain heard that blast, his Ego Wave exploded with power, allowing him to retain full control of his body. He saw how his enemy, the Inferno Ape, looked to the sky and lowered its guard, allowing him a perfect chance to fire his strongest attack.

The Inferno Ape was still looking at the figures coursing through the sky when he heard a sound resembling an Old World's fighting jet.

The Early Wave Champion Beast was only able to glance at the man that balanced his body from one side to the other so fast that gales formed around his body before a right hook carrying a massive momentum connected on its head.

"¡BOOM!"

Cain's right hook woke up everybody. Soldiers and Wave Beasts turned toward the human covered in red lightning, only to see how he unleashed a barrage of punches over the Inferno Ape.

"¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!"
