51 Evolved Tapeworm (2/2)
Korra was restless, as one of the managers of the ceremonial place, he couldn't help but feel a bit useless as of the moment, for one he doesn't have any lightning affinity, two it was pretty much Raven who was doing all the work here which was a blow to his skills and three he felt an incredible guilt because he let this situation worsen under his management.
Raven sent him a message that's only audible for him and Bradley. The two nodded and went back to observing the whole thing unveil.
”Everyone, the goal is to completely roast this thing to nothingness. Don't hold back anything and blast away. Do not stop as long as you could see a piece of it. Three! Two! One! Go!”
After his countdown, a barrage of lightning based attacks rained down and blasted the damnation inside the waters. It was a common knowledge that lightning based attacks are amplified by water. And because the Evolved Tapeworm is submerged in water, it was truly feeling pain of lightning now. It screeched and wriggled here and there, the smaller worms who were swimming freely earlier were now dead and some even disintegrated into nothingness.
The lightning barrage didn't cease, after five minutes of constant attacks, all of the eggs and smaller worms were disintegrated, now only the big one was left and no one showed even the smallest amount of mercy to the parasite.
Raven watched the creature wriggle and screech in pain, he thought that it won't take long and it will be dead. It was then that he suddenly felt a movement which caused alarm bells to rang in his ears.
Out of nowhere, a black hooded figure with a black veil covering the face, showed up in attempts of seizing him. But before his crusty palms reached Raven, it was already sliced by Korra who emitting a horrifying killing intent towards him. And his head was just a milimeter away from being separated from his body since Bradley's sword was aimed at his neck.
With one final screech, the tapeworm died and disintegrated, everyone stopped with their attacks and looked over to Raven's direction only to see the current situation.
Raven wore a mocking expression and asked the hooded figure: ”You just have the right amount of gall to attack me when I'm around a Royal Guard, you're allies will disown you from their ranks if they knew what you did.”
”Damn you kid!!” The criminal roared but can't really do anything, despite his stupidity he was actually afraid of dying, which was ironic to his actions.
Raven's gaze were cold, good thing he was completely on guard the moment he entered or else this person would truly escape his senses. Though it pains him to doubt the management of the ceremonial place, he had to in order to not miss any attempts against the kingdom's safety, and look what he found.
He walked closer to the criminal and ripped off his upper garment, as he gazed at the chest of the person in front of him, his suspicions were confirmed.
”Greetings Fifth Emissary. What wind blew you here?” Raven was back at it again with his mocking tone. ”Let me guess…butt hurt about your little disciple? Or should I say your illegitimate son?”
The criminal snarled once more but can't deny it. Raven continued with his antics and said:
”It is as they say, a dumb teacher will produce a dumb student. But to be honest, your son is smarter than you ever were.” With this, Raven forcefully ripped out the veil masking the true appearance of person in front of them.
When Korra saw his face, his world crumbled, his heart was in pain as he realized that he knew who this person was.
”How could you do this to us Manager Chris? Why?” Korra was truly heartbroken to see his own comrade betraying them. The people around them were also in shock and sympathized with Korra's pain.
”Save your tears Manager Korra. The person in front of you is no longer Manager Chris. He is the Fifth Emissary under the Demon Prince. Manager Chris' soul must've disappeared or used as a sacrifice already. This is just his former shell being used by this criminal.”
Korra and the rest shuddered on Raven's words, during the small amount of time that Raven was here along with the actions he showed today, those were more than enough for his words to have credibility behind them. Added the fact that the criminal made no attempts on denying it, this solidified that credibility even more.
