The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order chapter-228-bloodshed

228 Bloodshed

Marlon slowly opened his eyes, and there was a confused expression on his face as he looked around, trying to figure out what just happened.

The last thing he remembered was two red eyes and then losing consciousness due to suffocation. He looked down and saw his hands and legs tied up, but the sword was still in his hands.

The rope around Marlon's hands and legs was made of special flexible steel, so he could not easily break out of it.

"Chris!"

Marlon shouted when he noticed his comrade was by his side, and fear emerged in his heart when he saw the dozens of deep cuts on this one.

Chris turned to the side and stared at Marlon, but a voice interrupted them before he could say a word.

"I was getting bored. Now that the two of you are awake, we can start."

Marlon and Chris turned to their left and saw Cain walking toward them. They also noticed Antony resting against a tree, but this one seemed to have no interest in them.

Antony knew that Cain was more suited to handle this type of situation, so he just watched.

Cain's eyes glowed with red light as the power of this Ego Wave burst, and he sent it to the duo's minds. Chris and Marlon trembled for a second, and their eyes almost lost focus, but they were able to resist.

A flash of pain appeared on Cain's face as the duo managed to resist his hypnosis. He was a 5-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master, and the scions had no overwhelming willpower, so the hypnosis should have worked. Unfortunately for Cain, this dimension weakened his Ego Wave but did not affect people's mental defenses.

"Ahh, I guess we will have to do it the hard way!"

Chris could not stop trembling as the shadow Cain cast over his heart was too great, but Marlon was different.

"Who do you think you are to tied me! I am the son of Marquess Galadriel!"

Marlon was the only son of a Marquess, a mighty Wave King who had pampered him all his life. No matter how great the trouble he got in, his father would always make all go away. That upbringing made Marlon think there was nothing he could not do as long as the victims had a lower background.

"Untie me now, and I will pardon this..."

Marlon could not finish his sentence as Cain grabbed him by the chest and began to strike his face.

Cain showed nothing as he punched Marlon repeatedly, breaking the bones on the face of the scion and making it bloody. Even when the scion could no longer breathe due to the broken bones and blood, Cain did not stop. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Stop! You are going to kill him!"

Chris finally could not hold on anymore and shouted, but the next second he wished he had kept his mouth shut as Cain turned toward him. Those red eyes and bloody fists terrified him so much he could not stop trembling. Cain took out a green capsule from his space ring and injected it into Marlon's neck, making the body of the young scion spam before slowly healing.

"It will take around ten minutes for him to regain the ability to speak. If you have not answered all my questions by then, I will have to make a lesson out of you so that your friend knows that I am serious."

Chris' eyes widened when he heard that, and the idea he would suffer an even worse punishment than Marlon terrified him.

"I will tell you all you want to know!"

Cain's assassination training also included intelligence gathering and phycological torture, so breaking down a couple of scions was a piece of cake. He asked many questions to Chris, and this one could not answer them fast enough. Ultimately, Cain and Antony got all the intel they could possibly need from Chris, and they could not help but frown at what they just learned. Chris and Marlon were part of a larger team led by Amos. Unlike Cain, Amos could promise people that followed him great rewards using his background, so he formed a group with twelve powerful cultivators around him. Amos sent the duo to scout the surroundings with the sole purpose of finding other humans. It was clear to Cain that the young master from the Hellblazer Family was not interested in a fair competition and planned to squash it down as soon as possible.

Thanks to Chris, Cain learned the name and battle power of all the people in Amos' group.

Once the interrogation was over, the idea of killing the duo crossed Cain's mind, but he soon shook his head. While killing people he considered evil was extremely easy, he saw himself as a hero and would not go around killing everybody that got in his way.

Cain took out the two scions' swords and their space rings, making them so weak they could not even talk.

"If you remain here, the wall of light will eventually send you out. You could try to return to Amos, but there is a 99% chance you will die at the hands of a Sword Monster. Your choice."

Cain did not wait to see the expression on the duo's faces, and he glanced toward Antony before both flashed out of that place.

Antony's eyes narrowed as he saw the direction that Cain took was precisely the one that Chris told them Amos' group was.

"Are you planning on fighting them?"

Although Antony and Cain worked very well together and displayed great battle power, there was no way they could handle Amos and another ten scions.

"We will first perform some reconnaissance. Amos's group is dangerous, so we must gather more information about them. There is also the task that man gave about searching for other humans, which means that some people we know might be in danger, especially a friend of mine. We will decide how to proceed once we have enough information."

Cain did not hide the emotional factor of his decision, but he deployed an objective approach to the problem that was Amos. Antony considered things for a moment before nodding. He would not jump into a suicidal battle just because Cain said so, but he would support this one if the decision made sense. The duo had advanced for less than half an hour when Cain's eyes grew sharp as he detected three people. One of them was running, and the other two were chasing.

The one running was no other than Orin, and the ones chasing her were Carl and Jortar. The young woman displayed superb footwork, dodging all the attacks that came her way, but a large scorched cut on her left leg and right arm hindered her speed.

Carl and Jortar showed fierce smiles as they pushed their Astral Wave to their peak, closing the distance toward Orin. Jortar appeared right behind Orin, thanks to the metal pipes on his back, impulsing his body forward. His smile grew vicious as he raised his sword and hacked toward Orin's back.

"?BOOM!"

Before Jortar's arm could descend, a shock wave echoed across the forest, and a red flash propelled toward the trio at a shocking speed.

The next thing everybody saw was an arm covered in rock armor holding a long sword flying away.

"?AHHHHH!"

Jortar unleashed a scream of unbearable pain as a machete just cut off his right arm, and the next second, a sense of nausea and vertigo pushed him to the ground since he no longer held his sword. Carl's eyes widened as he saw that, and all the fierceness in his heart vanished, replaced by an immense fear when he saw two red eyes focusing on him. "Wait!"

Carl could not say anything else before Cain flashed forward and began to strike. The scion defended himself but was no match for Cain, and in less than ten seconds, the machete severed his right wrist, making a hand and sword fall to the ground.

"?AHHH!"

Like Jortar, Carl unleashed a scream of pain before the weakness of losing his sword threw him to the ground. Antony appeared on the battlefield once all was over. He had to move as fast as possible, but Cain was faster.

Just as the duo turned toward Orin and were about to ask if she needed help to recover, the women spoke.

"There is no time to lose. Amos' team ambushed mine. I escaped under William's command to find help, but these two followed me."

Orin did not lose time, going straight to the point, and the expression on her face made clear the urgency of the matter.

Antony frowned when he heard that, and he knew that they needed to act fast. "How do we handle them?"

Antony had just finished his question when he saw Cain cut Carl's head off before flashing toward Jortar and doing the same to this one. Current schedule: 7 chapters a week.
