The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1264

Chapter 1264: White Humanoids Chapter 1264: White Humanoids Unfortunately for Cain, he did not have much time to ponder as the Life Beasts lunged toward him again, not giving him a moment to rest-their claws ready to pierce his body.

Even as waves of attacks came from all directions, Cain did not lose his calm.

He even closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.

Claws were already upon him when he finally opened his eyes, sharpness emerging from them as he made his move.

The scarlet dragon’s body spun with overwhelming force, generating a centrifugal force that sent the Life Beasts flying away-all except for one, whom he grabbed by the left foot, absorbing its life force.

Cain had already learned his lesson and devoured with overwhelming precision, just enough to regain his stamina and energy.

And just as the life influx was about to overwhelm him, he sent forth a blast of fire that blew up the Life Beast.

Shutting down the influx of life and energy was not easy, so Cain destroyed the source-that way, he solved the problem.

It was an ingenious take on the challenge.

With the life and energy taken from that Life Beast, Cain felt back at his peak and gazed at the end of the chamber.

The goal was to leave this place.

Of course, the amount of energy he had would not last more than ten seconds, and that would not be enough, but there were hundreds more of Life Beasts.

He would have to fight the Life Beasts and consume the energy of some of them from time to time to avoid falling unconscious due to exhaustion as he pushed forward.

It would not be easy, but Cain was confident in his abilities.

He clenched his fists as he dashed forward.

The next clash erupted like a storm.

The Life Beasts, sensing his intent to escape, roared in unison and charged.

Cain met them head-on, his scales shimmering with an inner fire.

A colossal beast resembling a horned rhinoceros barreled toward him.

Cain sidestepped gracefully, his tail whipping around to trip the creature, sending it crashing to the ground.

He leaped onto its back, pressing his clawed hand against its hide to siphon just enough energy to stave off exhaustion.

Before the influx could overwhelm him, he unleashed a concentrated burst of lightning, causing the beast to explode into fragments of energy that dissipated into the air.

Another beast, this one with the body of a lion and the wings of a bat, descended upon him from above.

Cain didn’t flinch.

With a swift motion, he spread his wings and shot upward, colliding with the creature in mid-air.

The impact sent shockwaves throughout the chamber.

Grasping its throat, he absorbed a sliver of its vitality.

The beast writhed in agony before he finished it off with a searing blast of flame.

Every few seconds, as exhaustion threatened to take hold, Cain repeated this cycle-engaging a Life Beast, absorbing just enough energy, and then destroying it before the life influx became too much to handle.

His movements were precise and calculated, a dance of survival and dominance.

The Life Beasts were relentless, but Cain’s superior strength and fighting prowess kept him ahead.

A pack of wolf-like creatures with razor-sharp spines cornered him against a wall.

They lunged simultaneously, but Cain thrust his palms forward, releasing a shockwave that threw them back.

Seizing the moment, he appeared behind one, draining its energy swiftly.

As the others regrouped, he detonated the beast in his grasp, the explosion creating a barrier of force that knocked the rest off their feet.

The battles wore on, each one pushing Cain’s limits.

Yet, with every Life Beast defeated, he grew more adept at balancing the fine line between replenishing his energy and avoiding overload.

His strategy became an intricate rhythm: attack, absorb, destroy, advance.

This grueling process continued for nearly twenty days.

The chamber seemed endless, the horde of Life Beasts unceasing.

But finally, Cain saw a glimmer of light ahead-the exit.

With a final surge of effort, he barreled through the last wave of creatures, leaving the hundreds of Life Beasts behind.

The draining force of the chamber faded, and he felt a weight lift from his spirit.

Cain continued pushing forward, allowing himself a moment of relaxation as he surveyed the cavernous terrain of the Sky Devouring Grotto.

Bioluminescent fungi illuminated the path ahead, which cast a soft, eerie glow.

Stalactites hung like ancient chandeliers from the ceiling, and the distant sound of dripping water echoed through the vast space.

The air was thick with the scent of mineral-rich rocks and the faint hum of latent energy.

For nearly five hours, the journey was peaceful.

Cain relished the quiet, using the time to recuperate fully.

But eventually, the serene path led him to a massive plain.

His eyes narrowed as he gazed upon ten thousand white humanoids.

They seemed human but lacked eyes, ears, and noses.

Instead, their maws were enormous, stretching from one corner of their faces to the other, filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth.

Their appearance was unsettling, but what puzzled Cain most was that they all had their backs turned to him.

The Eye of Gluttony on the scarlet dragon’s forehead glowed as he analyzed the power of all ten thousand White Humanoids.

To his surprise, they were all at Level 18-meaning they were Sky Masters.

“Even if they all attack me simultaneously, they would not be able to surpass my natural defenses,” Cain thought.

“So what is the point of having this force face me?” That thought crossed his mind just as he was right on top of the White Humanoids, and then it happened.

The scarlet dragon’s entire body trembled as an overwhelming force gripped him, sealing his movement and freezing him in the air.

His wings ceased their flapping; his limbs were immobilized as if encased in invisible chains.

Things did not end there.

The ten thousand White Humanoids all turned toward Cain simultaneously, their movements unnaturally synchronized.

Their maws opened wide, emitting a weird chant that resonated through the plain.

The sound was a haunting melody of whispers and growls, echoing off the unseen boundaries of the space.
