The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 19: Killing Abyssal Demon

The Abyssal Demon felt the incoming spear. The ambush forced him to suddenly stop his revolving Astral Wave, which made a metallic taste appear in his mouth, and he turned around while a dark-purple Wave Cloak manifested.

He fired a punch toward the spearhead, making the weapon burst into pieces. However, his eyes widened as he saw the youth that managed to get next to him by hiding in his blind spot.

Cain had not activated his Wave Cloak to thrust the spear, which is why the Abyssal Demon managed to intercept it with such ease. Nevertheless, that also allowed him to hide his presence until he was ready to strike.

The youth manifested his Wave Cloak and aimed his palms at the Abyssal Demon’s face before part of his Astral Wave mutated into arcs of lighting.

“AHHHHH!” The Abyssal Demon screamed in pain, and the lightning arcs exploded in his face, igniting his eyes.

A cold smile appeared on Cain’s face as he saw that, but it did not last long as a blow landed in his stomach, sending him flying away while puking blood.

Cain felt immense pain but did not have the luxury of resting as a tremendous sense of danger assaulted him. He clenched his teeth and gathered his strength before jumping to the right. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

“?Boom!” 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

The youth did it just in time to avoid the Abyssal Demon crashing down on his previous location. Even then, Cain continued retreating as the enemy lunged toward him.

Cain found it hard to believe the incredible tenacity of the Abyssal Demon.

The Abyssal Demon’s eyes were useless, but he used his other senses to follow Cain. His attack lacked precision, but their strength made it so that one was more than enough to break several bones.

Despite the immense danger, Cain was able to keep a cool head. He made his way back to the trees, and once there, he deactivated his Wave Cloak and hid his presence.

“AHHHH!” The Abyssal Demon roared as he began to destroy the trees around him but could no longer feel Cain’s presence.

Cain slowly moved away from the Abyssal Demon. He was having difficulty breathing and was sure there was internal damage. If another blow had landed, he might have lost the ability to fight and perish.

As the Abyssal Demon continued to destroy everything around him in rage, Cain returned to where the spear had broken and retrieved its head.

Cain focused and did his best to ignore the pain as he approached the Abyssal Demon. He activated his Wave Cloak, enhancing his strength before throwing the spearhead.

That projectile lacked any skill. Not to mention dodging it, the Abyssal Demon could have stopped it with bare hands if he was in peak condition.

Unfortunately, due to the state of his eyes, the Abyssal Demon only managed to block it by putting his arms in what he perceived could be the spearhead trajectory.

The Abyssal Demon felt a sharp pain in his arms as he blocked the spearhead, but that was all, and it did not manage to harm him.

Sadly for the Abyssal Demon, the spearhead was only a distraction, and the next instant, he felt immense pain as a kick had just landed on his right knee, shattering it.

“Ahhh, you disgusting human!” The Abyssal Demon cursed as he waved his hand like a madman, but he hit nothing.

Things went from bad to worse for the Abyssal Demon. The next second, a punch landed on the base of his skull.

Cain saw how his attack momentarily paralyzed the Abyssal Demon and continued punching. Savagery appeared in his eyes as he felt his blood burning.

Even when the Abyssal Demon landed on the ground, Cain did not stop his relentless attack and carried on until he felt his Wave Cloak about to vanish.

The youth regained his composure after the emotional outburst passed, and his eyes widened as he saw the bloody paste that was once the Abyssal Demon’s head.

‘It is fine. He was a member of the Dark Races.’ As soon as that thought crossed his mind, Cain heard Apex’s voice

“So those are your thoughts after killing another intelligent being.”

Apex took Cain by surprise. Although the youth was a little shaken by the bloody scene, there was not the guilt or psychological pressure he felt when he ended Kiron.

“There is no mercy for the Dark Races.” Cain clenched his bloody fist as he replied.

“If that is all you have to say, then I must compliment your Godslayer Humankind Empire for their indoctrination.”

Cain did not know why, but the System Spirit’s words irritated him greatly.

“Did you not say that killing is a part one can not avoid!”

Apex did not immediately reply to Cain’s words and waited for the youth to calm down.

“Brat, there is nothing wrong in killing someone, but do not let others’ beliefs affect your heart. You took that man’s life because you wanted to. Own it, and do not hide behind excuses like a coward!”

Those words shock Cain’s spirit. He knew Apex was correct. As soon as he saw the corpse, he attempted to distance himself from the act.

Cain stood up and did not take his eyes away from the Abyssal Demon’s bloody corpse.

“I killed you because you were my enemy!”
