The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 396 Kain

A young man was running across a forest. There was blood all over his body, and he was missing his right arm. His face was pale, and he was doing all in his power to hide his aura.

He looked into the distance and could only see trees, making a sense of rage and frustration fill his heart as he continued walking forward until he reached a large mountain. The young man silently entered one of the caverns.

"¡BOOOM!"

Unfortunately for the young boy, before he could even catch his breath, the cavern he attempted to hide was blown to pieces, with him landing in the distance. It took all his strength to stand up, but he was barely able to rise before puking a mouthful of blood.

"I must admit, you surely are resilient to have endured for so long, but this is the end of the road, boy."

The young man raised his eyes from the ground and saw three figures in the sky. They were all members of the Inferno Daemon Race, with the one at the lead holding a Hell Clan and the other two the Abyssal Clan.

This was not a fight between races since the young man on the ground was also a member of the Inferno Daemon Race, in fact, part of the Hell Clan.

"Zarius, you traitor!"

The young man shouted at one of the members of the Abyssal Clan in the back, but this one only showed a mocking smile.

"Please, Lord Kain, don't get mad at me. I am just taking the smart path."

"Hmph, who would have thought that a member of the Abyssal Clan would have so little honor."

When the man named Zarius heard those words, a flash of rage appeared in his eyes, and he flashed toward the young boy, appearing in front of him before sending a kick.

Kain was just a Level 9 Wave Warrior, so there was no way he could fight against a Wave King, much less in his state, so the kick destroyed every bone in his chest before sending him crashing into a tree dozens of meters away.

"Stop playing around. There is no reason to make this harder than it needs to be. End the boy's life fast."

The leader of the trio spoke with a cold voice, and there was evident anger in his eyes. Zarius could have easily ended the boy's life with that kick but did not, as he wanted to torture him, something the member of the Hell Clan was not going to allow.

Zarius glanced at the member of the Hell Clan and did not dare to say a word before clenching his fist. Even if Kain was one hundred meters away, he could effortlessly kill him with a single punch from this distance.

Kain's light was already fading from his eyes as the kick had destroyed several of his vital organs. Even if Zarius did not attack, he would die in minutes, so there was nothing he could do.

"RUMBLE!"

However, just as Kain thought everything was over, the ground began to tremble with so much force that the earth split apart.

Kain was not the only one shocked since the other three members of the Inferno Daemon Clan were also surprised, and they immediately turned to the mountain by their side as it began to glow with hundreds of giant runes appearing on it.

The level of the formation engraved in the mountain was too high for the trio, and they only understood its goal when they felt a massive disturbance in space and saw how a portal appeared above them.

The trio turned to the portal as they adopted battle stances since they did not know what kind of monster would emerge from it, and just as they prepared for the battle of their life, what came out from the portal was a bloody thing.

Shock and confusion appeared on the trio as they saw the bloody corpse falling from the sky and plummeting into the ground just for the portal to close the next second.

"Stay focused. It could be a ruse. Do not lower your guards!"

The member of the Hell Clan shouted as he unleashed his Ego Wave in all directions, but he found nothing other than the bloody corpse. He could not understand why someone would send a corpse through what he could only describe as the most extraordinary teleportation formation he had seen in his life.

"Orphin, should we check the corpse? It might have something of value."

Orphin, the member of the Hell Clan, heard his friend utter those words and thought for a moment before staring at Zarius.

"Zarius, pick up the corpse and inspect it."

Zarius frowned as he heard that command, but there was nothing he could do but obey the duo, and he walked toward the bloody corpse. The blood did not matter to him as greed appeared in his heart.

"Oh, members of the Inferno Daemon Race. Am I in Atlas?"

Just as Zarius was about to put his hand over the bloody corpse, he and the other two in the sky heard a voice in their minds. Not only were they shocked by realizing that someone managed to reach into their minds, but terror appeared the next second as they lost control over their bodies!

"What is happening?"

Orphin shouted with terror. He could still speak, but someone had taken control of their minds, bodies, and energy. Although the man knew of Hypnosis Masters, he had never faced something like this.

The Wave King from the Hell Clan looked around, trying to find the culprit, as did the other two, but the only thing they could see was Kain and the bloody corpse.

'Wait?'

Orphin's eyes widened as he focused on the bloody corpse, and the next second, the voice returned.

"Hahaha, not bad. That was fast. Yes, I am the one in control right now. You can refer to me as the Scarlet King."
