The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 212  Three vs three (III)

Carl clenched his teeth, and his heartbeat grew faster as he saw Cain's red eyes focused on him. There was no way he could keep calm facing the willpower of a Wave King. "AHHHH!" Carl shouted as he made his Astral Wave burst, waving his spiked rod toward Cain with all his power.

"¡Boom!"

The spiked rod generated a small blast upon impact but did not come close to hitting its target.

Cain easily dodged the rod, and his eyes narrowed as he saw the clumsiness with which Carl used the weapon. While the scion could use his skill to enhance the weapon, it was clear he had little proficiency in it. 'Unless your weapon mastery is as good as the one you have over your own arms, there is no point for Astral Cultivators to use them. It must be a decision made out of fear.'

All those thoughts crossed Cain's mind as he saw the rod on the ground, but he did not waste too much time in useless thoughts and carried on with his counter, sending a blow covered in Blood Lightning to Carl's liver.

As soon as his punch landed, Cain knew there was a problem. It had massive strength since he focused most of his Astral Wave, but Carl's resistance after using the skill and wearing the armor was no joke.

Carl felt pain, but there was also a smile on his face as he understood that his body could handle Cain's attack without much problem. He raised his rod from the ground and waved it to the side with so much strength that it generated a small gale.

Cain pushed his body to the ground, dodging the weapon again before rising with all his strength and sending an uppercut. He hoped the blow would shake Carl's brain, giving him a moment to trigger Blood Revolution.

Unfortunately, Cain underestimated Carl's endurance. The uppercut was very powerful but failed to numb the scion, and before Cain could unleash his attack, a powerful silver rod came rushing at him. Cain knew he could not dodge the rod and could only raise his arms, making a shield with them before focusing on them all of his Astral Wave.

"¡BOOM!"

The attack carried all of Carl's strength and sent Cain flying away, making blood emerge from the corner of his mouth and numbing his arms.

"Hahaha, that is what you..."

Carl was not able to finish his sentence after that lucky strike since Cain immediately flashed back into the fray, appearing right in front of him before thrusting an index finger into his chest.

Absolute shock appeared on Carl's face when he saw how that index finger pierced his armor and began to drill into his skin.

"Get out!" The scion screamed in fear as he waved his rod like a madman. Although the attack lacked any sort of finesse, it forced Cain to pull back.

Cain's eyes narrowed as he saw that even with Blood Index, he could not instantly overcome Carl's defenses. Of course, it would be different if he aimed at the back of the head, but that would most likely cripple, if not kill, the scion, which was going a step too far.

Carl's breathing was rough, and the threat of death made him go wild as he dashed toward Cain and began to strike with his rod using all his strength. Cain could dodge all those strikes, but unless he wanted to wait until Carl ran out of energy, he had to find a way to improve his striking power without aiming at a vital point. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After around a minute of dodging the rod, Cain's eyes narrowed, and he took a deep breath as two of his fingers began to turn into red gems. Cain had already finished with Blood Index and had begun to master Blood Hand. Right now, he could transform his index and part of his middle finger. That increased the strength of his fist exponentially but also drained a lot of his energy, so he had to end things fast. Carl had just buried his rod into the ground when he felt another of Cain's punches on his liver, but things were different now. He felt as if Cain's fist was a hammer and the index and middle fingers were two nails buried into his abdomen.

The scion's eyes widened with pain, and before he could even adjust, another blow landed on his jaw, making his eyes lose focus for a second.

"BOOM!" A blast echoed across the battlefield as Cain connected a full power punch into Carl's chest, sending this one flying away.

Although the scion paralysis was the perfect chance for Blood Revolution, Cain feared that using it alongside Blood Hand could crack Carl's skull and produce severe brain trauma.

Cain deactivated Blood Hand the next second and flashed toward Carl, sending a ferocious kick that carried all his torque to the scion's head before this one could get up.

That was just the beginning of Cain's onslaught. Blood Hand did its job wounding Carl greatly, and now his normal attacks were enough to handle the rest.

Soldiers and students saw the battle between their best warriors, and their expressions could not be more different. The first group was full of excitement, while those in the second could not help but look away.

The fight between Dominic, Antony, Amos, and William was close, with neither side being able to overwhelm the other. Nevertheless, Cain practically tossed Carl around like this one was a puppet.

Those powerful enough understood that the key behind Cain's dominion was not exactly the young soldier's strength but his enemy's lack of battle awareness. The only thing Carl gained by using a rod was that Cain could easily predict his movements, so victory was never a question. It was just a matter of time before the soldier emerged victorious, but Cain did shock people by being able to fire strikes that could easily break Carl's defenses.

"BOOOMMMM!"

A final blast marked the end of the battle as Cain activated Blood Hand one last time to punch Carl in the chest, burying this one into the ground.
