Chapter 816 - The Falcon’s Beacon (XI)
The prairie rustled in the chilly wind while the waist-tall underbrushes swayed gently like moving green waves. The bright full moon illuminated the entire prairie and every shadow was clearly visible beneath the underbrushes. Rhode stood nonchalantly on the peak of the cliff and gazed at the Chaos Being below him—the dark figure clenched its fists and gazed at him alertly. Two shadow creatures that were around four meters tall stood behind it. They seemed like two enormous gorillas, but compared to before, they had become much smaller now.
“How unfortunate, Mr. Gloucester. You were one of the key figures in the Chaos Church. I didn’t expect you to become so weak after cutting off all ties with Chaos…”
Rhode took a step back and allowed Gaya to take the lead.
“Who exactly are you… Human?”
Gloucester gazed at Rhode and asked in a deep voice that didn’t sound anxious at all. However, Rhode and Gaya sensed his cautiousness and hesitation. Not only Gloucester, but Gaya also turned to the young man behind her with dubious eyes. Even though Gaya was experienced in dealing with the Chaos Beings, she didn’t know much about them. She was only aware that this dark figure before her was definitely a powerful one. On the other hand, Rhode seemed to know everything about him.
Rhode shrugged. Of course, he wasn’t spouting nonsense. After the dragon souls were smashed and the game entered the third chapter, the devils and Chaos Beings invaded the continent. Rhode led Starlight back and forth into hell more than a hundred times and naturally knew a lot about them.
Everyone thought that Chaos Beings were emissaries of Chaos and were a bunch of crazy beings. But this wasn’t the truth. Chaos was just a reflection of twisted Order. Even though most of the Chaos Beings were erratic, the core of Chaos wasn’t totally chaotic. Instead, it was twisted, damaged Order.
To the Chaos Beings, true Chaos wasn’t to destroy Order completely because if Order no longer existed, Chaos would turn into the new Order. They knew clearly that Chaos existed due to the existence of Order.
It was due to this that the high-ups of Chaos Beings were full of twisted Order, which weren’t understandable to most. Under their ‘guidance’ (Chaos Beings would never admit that they were manipulated and commanded because these were words that completely represented pure Order), the remaining erratic people would unleash their chaotic nature unconsciously.
“No!”
Gloucester shrieked in terror. But he quickly retrieved an item from his pocket and squashed it in his clenched hand. In an instant, the other shadow creature mourned painfully before exploding into bits!
Boom!
The immense explosion shook the ground and stopped Gaya’s sound wave attack. Not only that, but billows of pitch-black smoke also burst in all directions!
“Damn it!”
Rhode exclaimed inwardly.
“Miss Gaya, kill it! Quick!”
Gaya was also aware that this space of Order couldn’t last any longer. She quickly darted forward with her blade.
———!
At this moment, the prairie under the night sky shattered like a broken mirror.
