The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1172

Chapter 1172: Terror in the South Coast Alliance Chapter 1172: Terror in the South Coast Alliance Thirty minutes after the dark vortex swallowed the scarlet dragon and Norton, sending them into the Glass Dome, it manifested again.

Cain calmly emerged through it, though his appearance was far from unscathed.

His face was pale, his body riddled with wounds, and the scarlet flames that constantly surrounded him struggled to consume the remnants of necrotic energy still infesting his tissues.

Yet, despite his injuries, a smile crept onto his face.

He had won.

Cain had defeated Norton, sending the ancient powerhouse of the South Coast into his stomach, where the Scarlet Reaper consumed every last remnant of his existence.

Flooding his brain and black hole were a sea of energy, soul force, and the memories of hundreds of thousands of years.

But what pleased Cain most was Norton’s Legendary Innate Ability.

The power, known as Necrotic Life, allowed Norton to sustain his lifespan using necrotic energy.

However, there were limits to its effectiveness.

The ability had exhausted much of its potency nearly fifty thousand years ago, and Norton had been living on borrowed time ever since.

Cain’s smile faded as his eyes turned toward the ancient temple nearby.

His instincts flared, warning him of the immense danger it represented.

From Norton’s memories, Cain knew exactly what the temple was and the gruesome sacrifices the old man had performed to prolong his existence.

The mere thought filled the scarlet dragon with disgust.

A sharp glint appeared in Cain’s eyes as he considered his next move.

While the secrets within were tempting, he did not dare to enter-at least not yet.

The scarlet dragon didn’t have confidence in surviving what lay inside.

Cain spread his soul force across the area, ensuring that Norton’s runes and traps to conceal the temple were still active.

Once satisfied that the temple remained hidden, the scarlet dragon shifted into his colossal dragon form and vanished into the Shadow Realm, flying toward his next target.

— Over the next two months, Cain continued his mission, hunting down and consuming powerhouses from the South Coast Alliance.

His approach was methodical.

He used Lord Zero’s help to target powerhouses in situations where they would normally be out of communication for extended periods, ensuring that their absence would not raise immediate suspicion.

— On a desolate and massive mountain range stood a Stellar Abyss Legend, his flesh as hard as stone.

His name was Baltor, and he was currently striking the base of the mountain range, making the entire area tremble.

Despite his massive power and domain, the man liked to train in this isolated area, away from prying eyes, where he could focus to his limit.

“RUMBLE!!!” The entire mountain range trembled for several hours until the massive Stellar Abyss Legend finally took a moment to catch his breath.

It was then, when his defenses were lowered, that it happened.

The shadows around Baltor twisted unnaturally, coiling like serpents, and a massive figure emerged from the darkness.

The Stellar Abyss could barely raise his arms in defense as the dragon’s claws blasted him into the ground before a vortex of darkness emerged, and they disappeared.

— There was a dark, fog-covered forest where even light struggled to penetrate the thick canopy of ancient trees.

It was mostly empty, as few dared to enter, but there was a Stellar Abyss Legend who called it home.

Oria was a master of illusions and stealth, the strongest spy and assassin for the South Coast Alliance.

Her nature made her a recluse, and she often disappeared for months after completing a mission.

She had just finished a long assignment, and right now, she only wanted to rest.

The Stellar Abyss Legend leaned against an old tree, letting the mist swirl around her, comforting her in its familiar embrace.

Suddenly, Oria’s eyes shot open, her instincts kicking in.

Cain’s shadowy form slipped through the fog, a predator lunging toward his prey.

Oria barely had time to throw up her defenses, weaving illusions to confuse her unseen attacker.

But before the illusion could hinder the scarlet dragon’s senses, a dark vortex emerged and sent both to the Glass Dome.

— A young woman was performing a strange ritual in a massive graveyard, her eyes sharp as she chanted incantations.

Her name was Elira, and she was a powerful Legend specializing in soul manipulation.

She often weaved the souls of the fallen into intricate spells, a task she preferred to do in complete solitude.

Today, she was preparing her next binding spell, her focus entirely on the glowing orbs of captured souls floating around her.

The underground chamber echoed with the whispers of the dead, a haunting melody that soothed Elira.

She moved gracefully between the souls, her hands weaving intricate patterns of magic.

This was her element, and she felt untouchable.  But in the flickering torchlight, a shadow moved.

Elira turned, eyes wide with realization, but the entity was already upon her.

His shadows seeped into the room like smoke, suffocating the souls she had bound to her will before the vortex of darkness manifested, and they vanished.

— For four months, Cain continued his deadly work, each target disappearing without a trace.

No one in the South Coast Alliance suspected anything at first, but eventually, people began to ask questions.

While those vanished powerhouses tended to stay out of the radar for long periods, their absence started drawing suspicion.

The upper echelons of the Alliance began reaching out to their powerhouses, using every resource and means available to confirm the status of their Stellar Abyss Legends and Dark Seed Legends.

What they discovered sent shockwaves through the entire organization.

Twenty-nine top-tier Dark Seed Legends were missing, and even more troubling, nine Stellar Abyss Legends had vanished without a trace.

The disappearance of so many powerful figures was unprecedented, and the upper echelons of the South Coast Alliance knew they were facing a threat of cataclysmic proportions.

In response to the growing crisis, the Alliance called for an emergency meeting, summoning all its remaining top-tier powerhouses.

None were allowed to ignore the call.
