The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 363 Blade and daggers

Chapter 363 Blade and daggers

Not wasting time, Cain submerged into the pool of molten metal. Immediately, he felt immense pain due to the heat, and he dared not open his eyes for fear of blinding himself. Yet he did not lose focus, drawing on his willpower to maintain control throughout the ordeal.

The first three levels of the Biometal Herculean Technique were named Bronze Infusion, Silver Integration, and Golden Resilience. Transitioning from Peak Silver Integration to Golden Resilience could take weeks, if not months, even for a prodigy.

However, less than five hours after immersing himself in the cauldron, Cain felt his body tremble as his blood evolved, acquiring the properties of Gold Level Metals.

The reason behind that talent was no longer a mystery for Cain as he knew it was due to the soul force of the Astral Blood Beast nurturing his soul sea.

Just the fusion of the metal into his bloodstream significantly improved his const.i.tution, but that was just the beginning. It did not take long for a profound transformation to begin inside Cain's body.

Cain's Blood Energy began to extend and solidify, creating an intricate network of biometal fibers beneath his skin. This bolstered his defense, shielding him against various attacks. The procedure was excruciating, yet Cain couldn't help but smile as power surged through his veins.

After another week of intense training, he finally rested, having integrated all ten tons of the Golden Level Metal into his bloodstream.

'System, scan me.' Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

Impatiently, Cain instructed the system to a.n.a.lyze his progress.

Note: Wave Virus inside Vessel enhanced Wave Talent by 28.1%.]

Cain beamed, ecstatic with his updated stats. His Biometal Herculean Technique augmented both strength and vitality, with the latter being the primary focus. However, his True Avernus Lineage boosted the former, propelling both stats to unprecedented heights.

His Astral Wave was already on par with a Late Wave Champion, yet there was still a long time before he reached that stage. On the other hand, his Blood Energy was already nearing the peak of what his body could hold.

The enhanced Wave Talent stemmed from the Wave Virus he and Dimento generated during the tournament. The Elder Genetic Coder was so happy with the victory that he did not mind handing the Wave Virus to Cain.

Cain stood with a smile full of pride as he stored the cauldron and exited the room. Outside, Krane awaited, sporting a peculiar artifact on his back resembling a thick tree branch and a peculiar wooden sword at his waist.

A single glance told Cain these were invaluable treasures. The sword seemed to be a Platinum Tier Wave Artifact, but the object on Krane's back was even rarer.

'¿A Holy Weapon?'

That was the thought in Cain's mind as he gazed at the thick tree branch that had fused with Krane's back.

Unlike Wave Artifacts, which require certain energy pools to be activated, Holy Weapons adapt with their users, becoming more formidable as the wielder grows.

This means even a Wave Warrior can harness a Holy Weapon's power destined to attain Peak Apotheosis Level. In contrast, a Platinum Grade Artifact requires a user with the energy to tap into its full potential.

Recognizing the rarity of a Holy Weapon, Cain concluded Krane must have secured it through underworld connections. After a nod of approval, the duo teleported to the headquarters of the Wave Crafter a.s.sociation.

Two months had already gone by, and Cain sought the return of his weapon.

Walking purposefully, Cain and Krane approached the Endless Pyramid. They entered unhindered, having scheduled an appointment with Grandmaster Horteus, and swiftly made their way to the master craftsman's chamber.

Like their prior visit, Grandmaster Horteus was engrossed in his work but paused upon noticing Cain. He acknowledged the young warrior with a nod.

"In just two months, your name has echoed throughout the realm. It appears you're the talk of the town."

Cain merely shrugged, fixing his gaze on Horteus. He could not hide his desire for his weapon.

Without further ado, the Grandmaster waved his hand, revealing a red saber and a collection of 33 daggers.

Intrigued, Cain studied the weapons, noting the marked difference from his previous weapon, Slaughter. The new weapons did not adjust to his battle style, but instead of leaping to conclusions, he awaited Horteus' explanation.

Horteus nodded as he saw Cain's control and began to talk.

"Given the damage it sustained, reconstructing Slaughter as a single ent.i.ty was unfeasible. However, this design suits you perfectly. I've named the saber 'Slaughter' as a nod to its predecessor. While it no longer morphs to your whim, its durability is unparalleled."

Horteus channeled his Essence Wave into the blade, which began to hum. Cain felt an instinctual wariness since he was sure the blade's power could threaten his reinforced body.

"It harnesses both Astral and Essence Waves," Horteus continued. "By channeling energy, I awakened its latent Lightning and Sonic Laws. The oscillation weakens molecular bonds of whatever it slices, amplifying its cutting power proportionally to your energy pool."

Cain and Krane listened in awe. Not only was the weapon incredibly powerful, but Horteus had managed to draw forth the power left behind by the Lightning Law of the Collapsing Lightning Duke. Clearly, the man had reached an extremely high level in his craft.

After hearing that explanation, Cain was more than satisfied with the blade but did not lose focus and turned his eyes to the daggers.

Horteus noticed Cain's eyes shift to the daggers, and he infused them with his Ego Wave. With a gesture, they began to move around the room with incredible proficiency. Things escalated when Horteus used the matrix in the daggers to draw the Life Wave from the air.

Cain and Krane looked at the dagger with awe as they were nothing short of extraordinary.
