The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - C.220 Lightning Lupus’ fight

220 Lightning Lupus' fight

Cain slowly spread his Ego Wave into the mine, analyzing every Wave Beast inside. His mastery over Free Ego was high enough to hide it from those beasts as he thoroughly analyzed their battle powers.

Just as he reached the bottom of the mine, he felt two sets of eyes focusing on him.

Cain did not hesitate before immediately retrieving his Ego Wave and using Void Breath to hide his presence before leaving the arena.

"ROAR!"

"SSSSS!"

Powerful bestial howls emerged from the mine as two Wave Champion Beasts detected someone watching them.

Luckily, Cain had been very careful, not revealing his presence and leaving the place as soon as those Wave Champion Beasts detected his Ego Wave.

Cain glanced at the mine as he fled. For those beasts to detect his Ego Wave, they were not only extremely powerful, but their perception was top-notch, so any assassination attempt for his part would be suicide.

'Peak Wave Champion Beast.'

A cold light appeared in Cain's eyes as he understood that two of the four so-called Late Wave Champion Beasts were Peak Wave Champion Beasts. There was a chance that Dominic did not know, but it was most likely that the scion knew and just hid it.

The good news was that the number of Wave Champion Beasts inside the mine did not surpass forty, although half were Middle Wave Champion Beasts. Cain returned to the encampment and called William and Antony to his tent. There he explained what he found out and discussed their next step. Although Cain was the Hunt Leader, accepting Dominic's invitation was not something he felt comfortable doing without asking for the opinion of the other two. After some discussion, the trio decided to accept Dominic's invitation. Sooner or later, they would have to face that pack, and it was better to take care of them before they consumed every wave crystal inside the mine.

Cain did not waste time and responded to Dominic with the condition for the work, exactly what they would take care of, and the amount of wealth they would keep for themselves. Dominic was surprised when he saw that message since it had information about the mine and pack that he had not disclosed. However, he did not delay things and accepted Cain's conditions since they were fair.

Once Cain saw that everything was in order and the fine details of the mission were taken care of, he sent a message to the soldiers' A.I. Chips, informing them of the conjoin mission between the soldier and student forces.

Once Cain saw that everything was in order and the fine details of the mission were taken care of, he sent a message to the soldiers' A.I. Chips, informing them of the conjoin mission between the soldier and student forces.

There were many soldiers that did not like what they read since the last encounters they had with the student force had soured their already bad relationship, but Cain did not ask their opinion. He, Antony, and William would put their lives on the line when they faced the Peak Wave Champion Beast, and the others would follow through or suffer the consequences of insubordination.

The soldiers led by Cain, Antony, and William meet with the student force five kilometers meters away from the mine's entrance.

The ones at the head of the student force were Dominic, Amos, and another young man with characteristics of the Hellblazer Family. Now that there were many Wave Champions among the students, Carl was far from being among the top three, and Josef took that place. Cain glanced at Josef, and his eyes narrowed. The young man had a very powerful foundation, but it did not seem this one rose to Wave Champion after having achieved Flawless Marrow.

Still, Cain did not look down on the man since the power of his bloodline made him a real threat.

Dominic and Cain stared at each other briefly before nodding and flashing to the mine. A little over three hundred warriors were between both groups, but even if they worked together, none felt in the mood to chat.

Once they were less than two hundred meters from the mine entrance, soldiers and students unleashed their Wave Cloak and made it burst with power.

Cain and Dominic knew they could not trust each other, so even if they were working together; they would not fight together. Each force would take care of one Peak and Late Wave Champion Beast along with half of the pack and establish their battlefield away from the other. That is why soldiers and students made their Wave burst, alerting the beasts of their presence.

None of them worried that the beasts would remain inside the mine since, just like humans were greedy, beasts were extremely territorial and would respond to any challenge to their authority with fierceness.

The first one to emerge from the mine was a massive insect-like beast that resembled a giant centipede. The creature had a dark exoskeleton, and a green liquid dropped from its fangs and legs.

Dominic adopted a solemn expression as he stared at the Peak Wave Champion Beasts by the name of One Hundred Poisons. He grabbed his massive sword and waved it with all his power, sending an enormous wind blade to the beast.

Despite its massive body, One Hundred Poisons managed to dodge that wind blade, and its eyes focused on Dominic as it charged to this one alongside several more Wave Champion Beasts.

When Dominic saw how one of the Late Wave Champion Beasts was accompanying One Hundred Poisons, he fired another strike before moving away with the student force.

Cain saw the number of Wave Champion Beasts that went after the student force and was around half of the battle strength of the entire pack inside the mine. Both Peak Wave Champion Beasts seemed to have already divided the other beasts, making their job easier.

"RUMBLE!"

The sound of lightning drew Cain's attention, and he turned to the entrance of the mine as a mighty wolf emerged from it. The Peak Wave Champion Beast had white fur bathed in blue lightning.

A small smile appeared on Cain's face as he stared at the Peak Wave Champion Beast he had chosen to face, a Lightning Lupus.

The Godslayer Human and Wave Beast looked at each other and felt the bloodline running in the other. However, the only response they incited was killing intent. The fact they shared the same Lineage did not matter as they were from different species, and right now, one had the sole mission of killing the other.

Cain's energy exploded as Blood Lightning covered his body, and the fingers in both hands transformed into blood gems. He would not see the end of this fight if he did not unleash all his strength from the star. Not far away from Cain, William unleashed all his power, generating an ice armor to grow above his Wave Artifact.

Once the aura of the duo reached its peak, Cain and William flashed toward the Lightning Lupus, and they were not alone since the seven strongest Essence Wave Cultivators among the soldier force moved behind them.

The Lightning Lupus' Life Wave burst and flashed toward Cain and William just as the Essence Wave Cultivators unleashed a barrage of spells against it. Those spells moved at supersonic speed as the Essence Wave Cultivators pushed their energy to the limit, but even then, the Lightning Lupus could dodge all of them while approaching the duo.

It was about to reach Cain and William when several light arrows that hid in the shadow of the other spells collided with its body.

Antony had hidden his aura and joined the other Essence Wave Cultivators, only showing his power in the last second so he could take the Lightning Lupus by surprise.

Those light arrows did minor damage to the Lightning Lupus due to the powerful defenses of the lightning armor around its body but hindered its movements long enough for Cain and William to land a punch in its chest.

Cain and William's joint strike sent the Lightning Lupus flying toward the mine entrance's edge, but before the dust could disperse, the beasts flashed back into the fray.

William raised his arms in the last second as a lighting claw clashed with it. The Lightning Lupus' paw was small, but the young man felt a mountain crashing against him. The Lightning Lupus' reflexes and speed surprised the rest of the soldiers, but there was one that knew just how fast and durable the beast was. The instant the Lightning Lupus' claw stroked against William's arms, a kick bathed in Blood Lightning and charged with a massive amount of Astral Wave landed on the beast's ribs.

That claw strike sent William flying away just as Cain's kick pushed the Lightning Lupus to the side, and that was just the start since a new barrage of spells fell into the beast before this one could get up.

Cain's eyes burst with red light as the full power of his Ego Wave focused on the Lightning Lupus' movements and instructed the soldiers when and where to attack. He knew that if the beast was left unhindered for a second, at least one of the Essene Wave Cultivators behind him would die.
