The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order-Chapter 157 - 157 Level 8 Essence Wave Warrior

157 Level 8 Essence Wave Warrior

“Your behavior, temperament, and aura are those of a seasoned warrior, not a pampered child that never worked a day in her life.”

The people in the room were already moving away from the young woman after Orlando spoke those words. None of them had any connection with her, and they would not risk enraging such a powerful organization just for a pretty face.

The young woman and her bodyguard were alone, but despite the overwhelming pressure, neither lost control.

“I am sure such a powerful organization like this kept an eye on all its future members and should have known that I spent the last six months in reclusive training. Solitude can change a person, especially if they rediscover themselves during that journey.”

Orlando kept smiling as he heard that, and after a moment, he softly nodded.

“It is true that solitude can change humans. After all, we are sociable creatures.”

The woman’s eyes narrowed as she heard that. Orlando agreed with her, but the look on his face made it clear he still considered her a spy.

“The man by my side is my bodyguard, who you have hypnotized, so he would follow my command without hesitation and never reveal sensitive information about me. However, I am sure that the primary directive in his mind is to be loyal to the organization. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

Since he kept following my orders, should not that be enough to prove I am who I say I am?”

.....

After that, many people in the room began to look between Orlando and the young woman and were not sure that she was really a spy.

Now that she mentioned it, they all turned toward their guards and understood she was most likely right. In that case, there was no way her bodyguard would still be by her side if she were a spy.

The reasoning and wisdom in the young woman’s words only made Orlando’s smile grow wilder.

“You are impressive. How disappointing that you already sealed your fate by coming to this place.

First of all, we hypnotize the guards so that they obey whom we told them, and if one of you had attempted to betray us, they would have killed you.

However, if you trick them into thinking you are the person you supplanted, they will obey you. Hypnosis is powerful but is not omnipotent, and mistakes can happen.

At the end of the day, it is like I say. Everything falls into your behavior. Habits that you don’t even know you have.”

Orlando waved his hand, and a virtual screen appeared on top of him, showing the young woman entering her room.

There was one segment that repeated over and over again. It was the moment she closed the door and immediately took a step to the side.

“Every time you enter a room, you move your body outside the door, positioning yourself behind the frame, the most solid point in the structure.

That would save your life if an attack came from behind the moment you closed the door.

You did it with speed too fast to be a movement you recently learned and must have been ingrained in your behavior to the point that it became an instinct.

Now, how could a pampered child that spent the last six months in reclusive training could have learned that?”

The moment Orlando finished with his words, the guard beside the young woman unleashed his Wave Cloak and pushed his Wave Burst to the limit before punching forward.

That attack was ferocious, and gales around the guard’s body enhanced his speed, but they did not end there. A sharp wind revolved around his arm, transforming this one into a drill that flashed toward the young woman’s head.

Simon was the closest to the young woman and could feel the might of the guard’s Astral Wave.

‘His Astral Wave is much denser than mine or Loras. He is a Level 6 Astral Wave Warrior!’

Simon was shocked as he realized the man’s strength, making him wonder just what type of Noble Family would give a guard with such power to some low-level scion.

That only made Simon even more curious about the spy’s identity and that of the person she was supplanting. Even if he saw her face, that did not mean he would know who she was. After all, the Collapsing Lightning Sector was gigantic, with hundreds if not thousands of Noble Families.

Everybody expected that the guard’s tornado fist attack would kill the young woman since her aura was average, and she did not seem particularly strong.

However, just as the fist was about to land, her eyes grew cold, and her true aura exploded.

An Essence Wave that sent the entire room into chaos burst from the woman’s body and gales even more potent than those of the bodyguard covered her body.

She skillfully took a step back, dodging the tornado punch and putting some distance before raising her fist.

It happened extremely fast, and the only thing the scions in the room saw was the young woman raising her fist before opening her palm and unleashing an invisible force that projected the bodyguard toward a wall at shocking speed.

There was a massive indentation in the bodyguard’s chest, and he was bleeding from his eyes and ears. Whether or not he was alive was hard to tell, but that mattered little to this point for the scions. They only cared that the young woman neutralized the Level 6 Astral Wave Warrior in a single attack.

Simon saw that, and before he could figure out what was happening, Loras grabbed him and jumped back toward the teleportation matrix.

Loras’ behavior was not odd as the bodyguards of everybody else did the same, protecting their masters.

Simon was terrified of the young woman, and the idea he could endure the same fate that her bodyguard made him want to run. Suddenly, his eyes lost focus for a second, and panic filled his heart.

“Activate the teleportation matrix!” Simon shouted as he slammed the matrix on the ground, hoping to activate it and leave the room.

Orlando only sneered as he saw the cowardly behavior of Simon, and when he saw this one slamming the teleportation matrix, killing intent appeared in his eyes.

For the old man, the building’s teleportation matrix was much more valuable than any of the scions in the room. Still, he did not lose focus since all of them were valuable, even the spy.

“Level 7, no. You are a Level 8 Essence Wave Warrior. You must be pretty talented and hardworking to have taken that path instead of directly advancing to Wave Champion.”

The young woman’s aura was bursting with immense power, but she knew she had little time and had to run. If she did not leave the building fast, she would remain trapped in this underground city for the rest of her life.

She glanced at the teleportation matrix that was the only way to get out. Unlike the foolish behavior of Simon, she knew that hitting it would be useless, and the only way to activate it was by taking control of it.

Orlando saw how the young woman’s Essence Wave grew even stronger as she dashed toward him at a shocking speed. He did not even have to say a word before the seven golden guards by his side flashed forward.

The youngsters in the room were shocked once again as they saw that the seven golden guards were all Level 6 Astral Wave Cultivators. A golden flame set their bodies ablaze, pushing their aura to an even higher level!

When the young woman saw the strength of the seven golden guards, a solemn expression appeared on her face. She did not hesitate before taking a two-edged sword with a narrow pointed blade.

When she was thirty meters from the group, her Essence Wave focused on the rapier as she waved the weapon to the ground.

The next moment, dozens of needles made of highly compressed air appeared in the ceiling before falling to a shocking speed toward the seven golden guards.

The Astral Wave Warriors were forced to stop their march and raise their guard, focusing their golden flames in their arms to block those air needles.

Although flames were not known for their defensive power, and that attack drained a significant part of a Level 8 Essence Wave Warrior’s energy pool, the seven Level 6 golden guards were able to block it without suffering serious injuries.

It was clear that those golden flames were special to allow a Level 6 Astral Wave Warrior to show such power.

Nevertheless, the young woman knew that could happen, and the sole intent of her air needle was to stop the march of the golden guards. She advanced until being less than five meters away from them before raising her left fist and then opening it.

Like before, the woman unleashed an invisible force, sending the seven golden guards flying away.

The golden guards’ condition was much better than her bodyguard, maybe due to the young woman having to split her attack between the seven or the protection of the golden flame.

She knew that attack would not be enough to kill those seven golden guards, but it would give her enough time to reach Orlando, who was now unprotected.
