The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order-Chapter 224 Sword Monster

224 Sword Monster

Cain opened his palm, and the machete instantly flew to him. At the moment it was in his grasp, he teleported out of the dimension full of starry light.

He appeared in a forest packed full of giant trees that rose over one thousand meters with crowns so large that they covered the sky. However, what truly mattered was the immense weakness that assaulted him.

"System!"

Appearing in an unknown place and having most of his strength gone was not a good combination, so Cain immediately commanded the Absolute Life Form System to scan the surroundings and check the state of his body.

Like always, the faithful system gave Cain an answer.

[Analysing...

---

-Basic Scan Force Field works without any problem. No life forms are near Vessels.

-Unknown force invaded Vessel's body, weakening body and energy pool to the standard of a Level 1 Wave Warrior.

---

Searching for a counter against weakening force.

...

...

...

-There are possible solutions, but they will require time for the system to provide them.

Permission to use the full power of the system in the task?]

Cain did not immediately answer the system. Now that he knew there was no immediate danger, he took a moment to analyze his surroundings and talk with the one who incited him into this place.

"Apex, do you have any specific information regarding this dimension?"

Cain was not illiterate regarding the type of phenomenon, like the portal above Blade Mountain. Although his knowledge was shallow, he knew there were times when special dimensions would spontaneously open and were the key to unique inheritances.

Those inheritances may have been left behind for an ancient powerhouse or generated by the world. The second was rarer and also much more valuable, coming into existence once a specific place's Laws and natural power reached a zenith.

21:17

Apex constantly gathered information about the Gaia Continent and the world as a whole, so Cain hoped this one would have an answer for him. "There are records of Blade Mountain showing signs of possibly birthing an inheritance, but those were primarily based on gossip, so I can not be sure. Either way, this place is special, and you might find a lucky chance."

Unfortunately for Cain, Apex did not have the answer he sought. He sighed, but there was not much he could do about it.

"Apex, work with the system to find an answer to this weakness."

"Ok."

The System Spirit knew that while the dimension could contain a massive lucky chance, there were bound to be dangers, so he would do his best to help Cain.

"Rumble!"

Just as Cain was trying to figure out his next step, the forest began to tremble, and a gale of wind hit him with so much strength that it almost sent him flying away. The sources of the gale came from what seemed to be the center of this place, and just as Cain focused on it, a wall of light appeared one hundred meters behind him. Cain immediately moved away from the wall of light, and he noticed that it seemed to extend all over the forest's edge. A strange feeling appeared in Cain's heart when he focused on the wall of light. The idea appeared in his mind that he would leave this place if he touched it.

From where that feeling came, Cain had no idea, but he would not act on instinct if he had the chance to prove it. His eyes narrowed as he attempted to use his Free Ego, and slowly a red force field emerged from his mind.

Even though his body and Astral Wave were at the boundary of Level 1, he could still use his Ego Wave. However, this one also weakened, and its range was barely a few dozen meters. 'Whatever the force weakening me is, it can affect my body, energy pool, and even Ego Wave, but can not hinder the power of the Absolute Life Form System or its [A.I. Chip Module]. Unfortunately, I can not contact the exterior even if the module works perfectly.'

After that small analysis, Cain manipulated his Ego Wave and sent it into the wall of light. A piece of his red force field touched the phenomenon, and it was ripped from the main part of his Ego Wave, generating a sharp pain in his mind.

He lost control of that piece of his Ego Wave, and that part of his willpower would crumble into nothing in seconds now that it was disconnected from the Ego Eternal Matrix. Yet, before disintegrating, that fragment of the red force field transmitted an image.

"At least there is an exit."

In the image, Cain saw Blade Mountain's sky, meaning there was a way out of this place. That calmed him a little since that discarded the idea this place was a slaughterhouse for young geniuses.

"If that is the exit, then..."

Cain turned to the center of the forest and assumed that he would find the path forward there, whatever that might be. He then glanced at the weapon and attempted to mobilize his Astral Wave into it.

The machete could not only flawlessly blend with Astral Wave, but every ounce of energy Cain channeled into it was condensed and refined, leaving a very thin and sharp dark purple edge.

Clearly, this was a melee weapon designed for Astral Wave Cultivators, but Cain shook his head. No matter how good the machete was, it was not wise to use it if his mastery over it was lesser than that over his arms.

Cain sent the machete into his space ring, but that proved to be a mistake as a sense of vertigo and nausea assaulted him the moment the weapon left his hand. It was so powerful that he fell to the ground.

Luckily those feelings faded once Cain took out the machete from his space ring and held it.

Cain took a moment to regulate his breathing before looking at the machete again and understanding that he could not lose it no matter what. Those feelings of nausea and vertigo were so intense that he could not stand, much less fight, in that condition.

'This place demands me to fight using the weapon birthed from my essence.'

Although he did not like it, there was not much Cain could do about it, and he had to hold the machete with his right hand. He then began to move forward to the center of the forest.

He had not advanced even one hundred meters when his eyes narrowed as he glanced to the left. A creature appeared in the [Basic Scan Force Field] and slowly approached him.

Cain continued walking forward as if he had not noticed it, and once the creature finally showed itself and lunged toward him from the back, he easily dodged the attack and hacked with his machete.

The weapon landed right in the center of the creature's chest, leaving a deep cut and sending it flying away over ten meters.

"AWWWW!"

A cry of rage and pain emerged from the creature. It had a humanoid body made of wood and flesh, with a single arm that held a large sword.

Cain stared at the creature, and his eyes grew sharp as he saw that the flesh in it seemed to belong to a Wave Champion Beast.

'So that is where they end up.'

Thousands of Wave Champion Beasts entered the portal. Cain had wondered what happened to them, and it seemed that whatever was in control of this place used them as a component for the monsters like the one in front of him.

"AWW!"

The monster roared for a second time, generating a blast of Life Wave before charging toward Cain with absolute bloodlust in its eyes. Cain was able to dodge the monster's sword strikes with ease. They were both at the same cultivation level, but he could use his Ego Wave to enhance his speed of thought and reflexes.

After a few minutes and verifying that the monster could only use melee strikes without any spell or skill, Cain decided to end it.

He dodged the monster's sword before cutting its neck with the machete. The creature fell to the ground after having its head separated from its body and immediately began to tremble, unleashing a dark mist and withering. Cain jumped away and held his breath while using his Wave Cloak to prevent the mist from entering his body. He did not know what it was or if it was poisonous.

However, while he did not want to be near it, the machete had other plans. It unleashed a suctioning force that drew the mist, leaving nothing left. Cain's eyes narrowed as he felt he had regained a little strength and focused on the weapon.

'It seems that the machete is fighting back the weakening force, and it grows more powerful by devouring the mist left by those Sword Monsters.'

After all the mist was gone, the Sword Monster's corpse crumbled into a pile of dust except for a small red orb.
