The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

216  Killing a Middle Wave Champion Beast (III)

"Stupid beast."

If the Silver-Heart Elephant had shown wisdom, the battle would have been prolonged for a very long time due to its powerful defenses, but now that it attacked like crazy, things changed.

Cain dodged the tusk charged with Life Wave that sought to drill his chest and dashed forward as his index finger morphed into a blood gem, and he used it to pierce into the Silver-Heart Elephant's neck. The Silver-Heart Elephant's eyes widened as the finger managed to pierce its defenses. Cain did not hesitate before taking the finger out, leaving a massive hole behind that began to bleed profusely.

Although the Silver-Heart Elephant managed to push Cain away, its legs were trembling, and it wouldn't be long before it fell to the ground dead.

Cain continued striking the Middle Wave Champion Beast while conserving his energy and making sure to avoid any form of injury. "¡Boom!"

In five minutes, the Silver-Heart Elephant could no longer remain straight and plummeted into the ground, generating a small blast due to its massive weight. Soldiers and Wave Champion Beasts turned toward the blast only to see how Cain buried his entire arm into the dying Silver-Heart Elephant's eyes, devouring the blood of this one.

Just as the Middle Wave Champion Beast's heart stopped beating, Cain vanished, and the next second, a cry echoed across the cave.

"AWWWW!"

One Early Wave Champion Beast screamed in pain as Cain pierced its back with his index finger, shattering its spine and destroying many inner organs.

Not even a second after, Cain removed his finger from the Early Wave Champion Beast's beck and vanished into the darkness again.

Fear emerged in the Early Wave Champion Beasts, while the soldiers took the chance that their opponent lost their focus to pushing their offensive.

Cain emerged again three minutes later when an Early Wave Champion Beast was about to rip a soldier's arm. He landed a violent fist on the beast's jaw, shattering it before pulling back, vanishing.

The battles carried on like that. The soldiers took advantage of the Early Wave Champion Beast's lack of focus, and whenever it seemed that one of them might receive a severe wound, Cain would appear and neutralize the attacker.

Less than an hour after Cain killed the Silver-Heart Elephant, all twenty-three Early Wave Champion Beasts perished. Some did try to escape, but Cain would send a devastating attack that would push them to the back of the cave. All soldiers had huge smiles as they took out the hearts of the Early Wave Champion Beasts and left them at Cain's feet.

Although the hearts of those Early Wave Champion Beasts were precious, since Cain interfered in all the battles and protected them from the darkness, he had the right to them. Besides, the rest of the corpse was still very valuable, and they gained military credits just for killing the beasts.

Cain only nodded as he saw those hearts and kept his hand inside the Silver-Heart Elephant's chest. He was only able to take a small portion of the beast's blood before, but now he could devour until the last drop.

It took Cain around half an hour to devour the more than two thousand liters of blood inside the Silver-Heart Elephant's body, and he could feel the vigor and energy running through his veins. The soldiers remained inside the cave, tending to their wounds and recovering their energy, ready to assist Antony or William's groups in case the two needed help.

After devouring every ounce of blood inside the Silver-Heart Elephant, Cain used his lightning to burn the massive beast and eat its meat.

Cain was not worried about Antony or William since the packs the duo attacked had the same strength that the one he faced, and they were stronger than him. The only reason he was able to finish first was due to his assassination skills and the Silver-Heart Elephant's foolishness.

"It's time to return to the encampment."

The soldiers turned to Cain while he issued that command and stored the half-eaten Middle Wave Champion Beast in his space ring.

Everybody nodded and relaxed since it meant that William and Antony had finished their battles and did not require their help, so everything must have gone smoothly.

---

For the next two months, Cain, William, and Antony led their groups higher and higher into Blade Mountain, killing packs full of powerful Wave Champion Beasts.

The amount of wealth the trio amazed was shocking, even to Peak Wave Champion. Each kill of a Wave Champion Beast meant a direct reward in terms of military credits, not to mention they could do whatever they wanted with the bodies.

The gains did not limit to simply wealth as the dense Life Wave, nutritious meat, and life-and-death battles pushed forward the cultivation of everybody. There were even Vice-Captains that reached the absolute peak of Wave Warrior and only chose not to rise to Wave Champion as they would have to leave Blade Mountain.

Facing Middle Wave Champion Beasts stopped being a problem for the military force, but they faced a new problem once they reached the mid-way point to Blade Mountain's peak.

"¡BOOOOMMMM!"

A massive shock wave emerged once Cain connected his right fist to the arm of a Wave Champion Beast. He had morphed four of his fingers into blood gems and channeled a massive amount of Astral Wave into the arm, so despite the beast blocking the attack, he should have done a significant amount of damage.

Nevertheless, the Wave Champion Beast barely moved after blocking Cain's punch, and the next moment it waved its arm, sending him flying away.

Cain was in mid-air and without any control over his body when he saw a beast resembling a gorilla twice his size, with four arms and flaming hair.

Just as the Wave Champion Beast was about to lunge toward him, a man covered in ice energy tackled it, sending it more than twenty meters away. "¡AHHHHH!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Wave Beast instantly regained control over its body and roared in rage toward William before a sea of golden arrows landed on it.

Cain, William, and Antony fought together because the enemy was a Hell Gorilla, a Late Wave Champion Beast!
