The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

"No one can leave. I came for the starry gems, but I have business with all of you."

Old River, Blue Crow, and the two guards frowned when they heard those words, while Red Hawk smiled, thinking he would not be left alone with this person.

The Scarlet King could have easily contacted Red Hawk and met him alone, but he chose this particular meeting since he had big plans for his stay in the Kronos Continent, and to achieve them, he would need a certain type of people.

"Since you have business with us, shouldn't you tell us your name?"

Old River went back to his plan to learn more about the person, but the man did not even look in his direction. His eyes remained on Red Hawk until a flash of coldness emerged.

"The chest, now."

Red Hawk trembled as he saw the coldness in the man's eyes, but he clenched his teeth before shouting.

"Who do you think you are to order a member of the Dark Hand like that?"

Although Old River hated Red Hawk's wild attitude, he was happy about it this time since it would force the man to act. This person was indeed terrifying, and his Ego Wave put him at the level of an Apotheosis Realm Master, but there was a chance that his battle power was not that high, and they could defeat him by working together.

The Scarlet King extended his index finger and aimed it at Red Hawk's right arm before speaking.

"If you don't hand me the chest, why do you need your arm?"@@novelbin@@

That was the last thing the five Atrox heard before the red light in the man's eyes burst as he waved his index finger down. The next instant, utter shock appeared in all of them as Red Hawk's right arm was severed and fell to the ground!

"¡AHHHHHHH!"

Red Hawk screamed as a wave of pain reached his mind as pure terror invaded his heart. He did not feel or see anything until his arm was on the ground. The man just waved his finger down, and the next second, his arm was severed.

He was not the only one shocked since Old River and Blue Crow and the two bodyguards were equally terrified as they did not understand what was happening. They detected no attack and only saw the man moving his finger. For a moment, they thought they were in the presence of a True God!

While it would not make sense for someone of that level to bother with people like them, it was the only possible explanation for what just happened.

Of course, the Scarlet King's battle power had yet to reach such incredible heights, even after the enhancement of his bloodline. What happened was that he used his Ego Wave to hypnotize everybody in the room, freezing their minds as he cut Red Hawk's right arm, and only then did they regain the ability to think.

For the Atroxs, it demonstrated overwhelming and absolute power, but it was just a highly skillful display of psychological warfare and Hypnosis.

The Scarlet King would not explain the trick behind his attack to the group, as breaking their spirit and infusing fear in their hearts was his goal. He did not say a word and extended his hand to bring Red Hawk's severed arm toward him before taking the space ring and inspecting it.

Red Hawk could do nothing as the man went through his belongings. The loss of the arm and blood, along with the mental impact, was so much that he fell to the ground the next second.

"Oh, If you are not going to use your legs, I assume you don't need them."

However, Red Hawk did not even have time to regain a semblance of focus when he heard the man's voice and saw him aiming an index finger at his legs.

"I am standing!"

Immediately, Red Hawk stood up, ignoring the pain and sense of fatigue that assaulted him. His mind had pure and absolute terror, and he could not stop trembling.

Old River and the other Atrox were the same, with none daring to open their mouths or say a single word for fear of drawing the attention of the merciless and bloodthirsty monster in front of them.

The Scarlet King did not pay attention to the group as he had already taken over their minds and bodies; they just did not realize it. He was a Saint Hypnosis Master, and while taking control of five Middle Wave Kings was not easy, overcoming their mental defenses became effortless after flooding their souls with terror.

It did not take long for the Scarlet King to find the chest he was looking for, and a smile appeared on his face. It was still closed, and it seemed that Red Hawk had been unable to open it.

He was not surprised since there were all sorts of formations on the chest, and opening it by force would trigger its self-destruction. The formations would have been a hurdle for the Scarlet King before, but it was a piece of cake with [Quantum Hacking] and [Sub Multidimensional Scan Force Field].

The five Atrox saw how the man with the red mask stared at the chest for less than a minute, and then it opened on its own, revealing ten starry gems. Once again, they were shocked, and the mysterious aura of the man only kept growing, as well as their fear of him.

The Scarlet King sent his Ego Wave into the starry gems, and just as Apex's information suggested, these were Saint Techniques that focused on the Law of Blood, Darkness, and Shadows.

He focused on the first one, and the technique's name immediately came to his mind. Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

"Blood Flame."

As with all Saint Techniques, the Scarlet King's mind was transferred into an illusion. There, he saw an Atrox standing in a meditative position above a pool of blood.

The Atrox sent the blood into his Evolution Core, which gave birth to a small flame that radiated Blood Energy!
