186 Confrontation (2/2)
A merciless glint appeared on eyes, Raven clenched both of his hand and swung his hammer down. The hammerhead seemed to grow larger, air whistled and the hammer struck the ground. From the point, web-like patterns swiftly appeared in a huge cone in front of him, next the ground exploded and boulders flew everywhere.
The pitiful people who were charging at him reacted a bit too late and underestimated his prowess, they simply didn't think that a brat like him was capable of delivering such fierce attack. The boulders not only halted their charge but also severely injured them. Those boulders felt more like artillery shells to them and since they were basically defenses, they received the full impact of those. Limbs were mangled, flesh were torn, some heads were smashed and some bodies were outright buried, despite this gruesome ending, Raven never felt a thing, he wanted nothing more than to destroy everything in front of him.
Yael who was watching the scene unfold had his jaw hung open. How many people was that? Ten? Fifteen? Somewhere along those numbers, all of which had at least reached Knight Stage in cultivation, all dead in one attack from a Soldier Realm brat. How is this possible? Is there some sort of mistake here?
A somber expression appeared on Yael's face. What an incredible loss! Without those people, the ritual would surely be slowed down. And if that wasn't enough, he saw that brat gazing at him with cold eyes as he walked closer to the room as if he was leisurely touring his backyard.
\”Blood Ritual: Devil's Cradle. This is what this ritual of your is called right?\”
As soon as these words left Raven's mouth and reached everyone's ears inside the room, they couldn't help but shudder and look incredously at Raven. As their hearts started wondering how does a little brat like him knew about this, Raven spoke once more.
\”A sinister ritual that requires massive amounts of human sacrifices.\” As Raven spoke here, he instinctively glanced at the ceiling of the room and once again saw the cruel fates of the people hanged up there.
\”You're right.\” Raven nodded his head, \”I am one of the people who infiltrated this underground district of yours. Originally, my intentions are just limited to ending the existence of the Burning Heaven Clan, after all if they continue to exist, then my heart won't be at peace knowing that there is a threat to my family.\”
\”I saw this building from a distance and felt my heart stop, at first I wondered why and thought to ignore it but the foreboding sense of urgency gnaws at my heart. My curiosity got the better of me so I infiltrated this place as well and look at what I've stumbled upon? A ritual that ended the lives of many people who mysteriously went missing on the surface.\”
\”And for what purpose?\” Raven paused and looked at each ornaments that was placed on a bias across the room. \”To summon people from the Black Curtain Guild, am I right?\”
Yael felt his mind shook fiercely as Raven ruthlessly spat out the truth. His pupils dilated and his expression turned aggressive.
\”You used human sacrifice here while they used blood of infant beasts there. The ritual will create a two-way portal from their location to here, allowing them to send as many of their soldiers to terrorize and cause destruction inside the kingdom.\”
\”Let me guess.\” Raven gripped the handle of his hammer tighter and spoke in a harsh tone. \”They will destroy as many as they could while you sit here and wait. Once the destruction is in full swing, you will step in and save the day, making the Royal Family indebted to you once again. Like this, you can keep eroding the forces of the Royal Family and people's trust towards them, while you reap the benefits and wait until the perfect time to uproot the Royal Family.\”
\”Then because of your leadership, you'll become the next monarch and all of the wealth of the Kingdom will be yours, of course you'll rule alongside the Black Curtain Guild. Got to admit, this plan is really effective since this wasn't the first time that you did this correct? How else are you people allowed to stay inside the kingdom despite the Royal Family hating you?
\”Is my line of thought correct? Yael Mort?\”
This question finally caused Yael to blow his top. His face was flushed with a deep shade of red as his aura of Half-step Golden Knight Stage cultivation base swept through Raven. Unfortunately, the anger that Raven felt neutralized this suppression, even if he wasn't angry, this suppression would hardly have any effect on him due to constantly tempering inside the Crown Space.
Seeing that his suppression wasn't doing anything, Yael couldn't take it anymore so he yelled: \”KILL THIS BRAT FOR ME! KILL HIM! I DON'T CARE HOE YOU DO IT! KILL! KILL!\”
