The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

61 Level “Take one step closer, and I shatter her spine!”

Dimitri was about to jump forward, taking advantage of the chaotic situation to attempt to save Nira, but it was clear that Cain would not hesitate for even a second to kill the woman if he did that.

“AHHH!” Nira could not stop screaming as the pain of having her newly regrown arm torn off was just too much for her. Her mind could barely process what was happening, much less mobilize her Essence Wave and fight back.

“Calm down, just calm down!” Dimitri shouted as he saw Cain’s savagism and could not decide what to do next. He had never faced a situation like this and simply did not know what to do.

“Do I not look calm?” Cain said those words as he threw Nira’s right arm to the ground and used lightning to cauterize the wound, stopping her from bleeding out.

Cain’s eyes were so cold that anyone that saw them would not think they belonged to a fourteen-year-old man but an ancient monster who had bathed in the blood of countless enemies. Deep inside, a red dot of light was growing stronger by the second.

Dimitri did not even bother to learn more about Cain when he discovered this one was a commoner. In his mind, someone like that could never be a threat to a genius like him, but he had lost complete control of the situation.

“Hear me out...” Dimitri attempted to talk his way out of this predicament, but Cain interrupted him.

“I don’t care. I will gouge her eyes if I see you following me.” Cain’s voice was absolutely calm, making the apprehension in Dimitri’s heart only increase. He then jumped into a large tree’s branch before flashing deep into the Whisper Forest.

.....

Cain advanced at a shocking speed despite the deep wounds on his body and having to carry Nira with him. He could resist those large lacerations that reached to the bone so well because of the Warrior Pill he consumed before all this ordeal even began.

Although there was no sign of Dimitri, and the [Basic Scan Force Field] did not detect this one, there was no doubt in Cain’s mind that the man was following them. That did not bother Cain since he was counting on that.

Cain was not advancing randomly in the Whisper Forest. There was a place that the reports about the Tier 1 Danger Zone marked as a particularly dangerous place, and he headed to it.

In less than ten minutes, Cain reached a large mountain, and his eyes noticed a large cave.

[System has successfully hacked into target’s A.I. Chip, preventing any communication with the exterior]

That message from the Absolute Life Form System appeared just in time, making a smile appear on Cain’s face. He was sure Dimitri would not ask for help, but there was no way to say what Nira would do in her current state.

From the moment Cain captured the woman, he used [Basic Hacking] to stop any communication, and now the effect would remain even if she left the [Basic Scan Force Field]’s range.

Now that he shut down the communications, Cain carried on with the next phase of his plan. First, he gouged one of Nira’s eyes, making her screams of agony reach a whole new level.

Anyone seeing that would think that Cain was torturing the woman out of pleasure, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Cain generated that gory and gruesome scene to affect Dimitri’s mind, which in turn provoked a flaw in the shadow ability of this one. His eyes narrowed as he detected the young man’s scent roughly seventy meters to his right.

“You want to be a hero?” Cain’s voice was full of mockery as he punched Nira’s spine, not killing her but generating so much damage that she could no longer control her body.

“Then be a hero!” Those were the last words Cain said before throwing Nira into the cave and running away in the opposite direction of Dimitri.

As soon as Cain threw Nira away, Dimitri’s figure became visible. His eyes were burning with fury, and there was nothing he wanted more than to hunt the one responsible for harming his beloved sister.

“ROAR!”

Unfortunately for Dimitri, a feral roar put his dream of revenge on hold. He turned to the origin and saw that it came from deep inside the cave where Cain threw Nira.

Dimitri unleashed the full power of his Essence Wave, and he flashed toward Nira as fast as he could while dark armor covered his body. His eyes narrowed as he saw a figure lunging toward his sister, and he would not be able to reach her in time.

He waved his dagger, unleashing two streams of shadows, one of them turned into dark blades that clashed with the beast while the other covered Nira’s body and hid her presence.

The creature received the shadow blades point-blank, leaving several lacerations, and now it had lost its first target. Still, it did not hesitate before jumping out of the cave and charging toward Dimitri.

It was a Wave Beast that resembled a two-and-a-half-meter-tall hyena with fur made of metal. Dimitri’s Shadow Blades that almost killed Cain only left minor lacerations in the creature, proving its outstanding defenses.

Dimitri’s eyes narrowed as he saw the Wave Beast and recognized it as a Metal Hyena. By the amount of Life Wave in the creature, he assumed it was at Level 5.

Although he wanted to save Nira, if he entered the cave and fought the Metal Hyena in such a reduced space, he could very well die.

‘I need to kill this beast if I want to retrieve Nira.’ Dimitri’s eyes narrowed as he sent another wave of Shadow Blades toward the Metal Hyena. He lured the Wave Beast away from the cave into a forest, where he would have an easier time fighting it.

Two eyes looked at the battle from the darkness, waiting for the right time.
