The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

91 Dangerous plan (II)

The blinding light was extremely powerful. It wreaked havoc on the horde as it burned the retinas of many Level 1 Wave Beasts, producing immense pain and temporarily blinding them.

Cadets and soldiers knew that Cain would use such Wave Artifact, so they closed their eyes in time, avoiding severe damage.

The distance mitigated some of the effects, so the Horn-Flame Boar Leader and the two Level 4 did not endure any injury. Still, none of them could see what had happened after that flash.

Just as the Horn-Flame Boar Leader’s eyes adapted to the blinding light, he heard the sound of two explosions.

“?BOOM!”

“?BOOM!”

The Horn-Flame Boar Leader was shocked to see how the first explosion consumed one of the Level 4 Horn-Flame Boars while the second threw the other flying away.

Cain had faced a couple of Level 4 Horn-Flame Boars multiple times in the past few days. However, he was dancing on the razor’s edge every time, barely distracting them or doing enough harm to the beasts so they could not affect the cadet formation.

It was never like this, triggering explosions that simultaneously neutralized two Level 4 Wave Beasts.

.....

Lurin saw those explosions and knew better than anyone just how dangerous they were. He had obtained the explosives that went by the name of C-Blasts.

Those C-Blasts were one-time use Wave Artifacts that could trigger massive explosions with the power to take the lives of Level 3 Astral Wave Warriors. Despite their power, they were not very popular since you had to adhere them to the enemy’s body and move away from the explosion’s range before they detonated.

Throwing those C-Blasts to the target was not useful. If you threw it too slow, anyone could dodge them, but if you used too much strength, they would detonate mid-fly.

Cain put himself in great danger by using those C-Blasts, as it forced him to right next to the Level 4 Horn-Flame Boars and then move away fast, or else he would get caught in the explosion.

The Horn-Flame Boar Leader’s eyes were glued to the explosion when an ominous feeling assaulted it. The Wave Beast realized it could not find the human and did not believe for a second that the blast had swallowed him.

It was only in the last second that the Horn-Flame Boar Leader noticed a figure ten meters above the ground, covered by the smoke of the two explosions.

Cain reached that height by channeling a massive amount of Astral Wave into his legs to jump up, avoiding the brunt of the explosion. However, burn marks on his armor and a deep cut in the chest made it clear that the last exchange between him and the two Level 4 Horn-Flame Boars was not easy.

Despite the obvious pain that those wounds would generate in him, Cain’s eyes which glowed with a monstrous red light, showed nothing but determination as he carried on with the final phase of the plan.

Every iota of Cain’s Astral Wave focused on his back, right arm, and finally, the gray spear he held in his hand. He enhanced every muscle involved in the throwing, and other than reinforcing the gray spear, he also transmuted the Astral Wave in it, granting it lighting-like properties.

Cain used every ounce of strength in his body as he threw the gray spear covered in lightning arcs while in the air.

“WHOOSH!” The gray spear flashed through the air at a shocking speed toward the Horn-Flame Boar Leader.

Regarding its strength and defenses, the Horn-Flame Boar Leader was very gifted, but its speed was mediocre and having a massive body did not make it easier.

The Horn-Flame Boar Leader moved in the last second, dodging the spear from piercing its head and instead making it land on its right leg.

“Ahhhh!” The Horn-Flame Boar Leader shrieked in pain as the spear pierced its muscles.

The Wave Beast had impressive defenses, but Cain not only enhanced the weapon with a massive amount of Astral Wave but also transmuted part of that into lightning, increasing its penetration force.

Cain was falling back to the ground as he saw that the Flame-Horn Boar grabbed the spear with its maws and removed it from its leg. While that tore some of the Wave Beast’s muscles and enlarged the wound, it was far from a lethal injury and barely affected its battle power.

Despite knowing perfectly well just how little damage that spear did to the Horn-Flame Boar Leader, there was a smile on Cain’s face.

Nevertheless, that content expression did not last for long as Cain finally reached the ground, right between the two blasts that happened a few seconds ago. That was the only place that was not full of Wave Beasts, but it wouldn’t last long as they immediately lunged toward him.

Cain’s entire body was hurting, and he used most of his Astral Wave in that last attack, so he could barely hold on. He just wanted to lie down and rest, but he could not do it.

Using his last bit of strength, Cain rushed back to the battle formation.

Levi saw that, and according to the plan, he guided the cadet formation toward Cain as fast as possible. The lower the distance between the two, the higher the chances Cain could reach the cadet formation before being overwhelmed by the Wave Beasts.

As the cadet grew closer to Cain, they all saw with awe how this one maneuvered through the ocean of Wave Beasts. The beasts attacked from every direction, but Cain managed to dodge all of them, even the ones coming from blind spots, and carry on dashing forward without reducing his momentum.

The truth was that Cain had a perfect awareness of the surroundings as the [Basic Scan Force Field] tool showed him everything coming his way. Thanks to his Ego Wave, his speed of thought and reflexes were high enough to use that information during a battle.

Of course, more than once, claws and fangs reached Cain, but the Nullity Armor blocked most of the damage, allowing him to carry on.

Cain was about to reach the cadet formation when his eyes narrowed since he detected three Level 3 Wave Beasts lunging toward him, full of killing intent. Before the beasts could shred him to pieces, he activated his Light Boots’ Burst, generating a propelling force to emerge from the sole of his feet, pushing him forward.

Levi’s eyes narrowed as he grabbed Cain’s body mid-air and threw him into the center of the formation, where Beelze caught and put him on her back. The cadet formation immediately made a U-turn, returning to the city at full speed.

Although being carried by such a beautiful woman like Beelze might sound like a dream for any man, Cain’s eyes still glowed with red light, and the only thing on his mind was the battlefield. Even though there was little strength left in his body, he needed to be ready to move in case something unexpected happened.

Luckily, the cadet formation made their way back to the city without a problem, and after leaving Cain, they went back into the fray.

Cain no longer had enough strength to fight and would only be a burden if he remained on the battlefield, so it was better for him to rest. No one had a problem with that, as the feats he just performed left everybody with a deep sense of awe and respect.

Cain noticed the glances in the soldier’s eyes but did not waste his time on them and immediately headed to a tall building before taking a set of binoculars. They were not very useful if he wanted to follow a moving target, but he focused his sight solely on the Horn-Flame Boar Leader.

Twenty minutes later, Cain saw the Horn-Flame Boar Leader begin to tremble, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

Confusion appeared in the Horn-Flame Boar Leader as it felt a sense of weakness and nausea invade its body. It had experienced the feeling before when it was very young and ate some strange fruits.

Suddenly, the Horn-Flame Boar’s Leader’s eyes widened as it looked at the gray spear on the ground and the wound on his right leg.

That gray spear was not a simple object. It was a Wave Artifact, and while it did little to enhance raw destructive power, it was laced with potent venom.

Cain smiled, knowing that venom could take care of a Level 5 Wave Beast. If the spear had pierced the chest, the effect would have been much faster, but there was little he could do about it. Still, he was delighted with the outcome.

Unfortunately, while Cain was ruthless, the Horn-Flame Boar Leader did not fall short. Without hesitation, the beast bit off the place where the spear had landed.

Even while using his Ego Wave, Cain could not help but show surprise. By extirpating the origin of the contamination, the Horn-Flame Boar diminished the amount of venom that would reach its bloodstream. Now the beast gave its immune system a chance to fight back and recover.

‘Dammit!’
