187 Fearsome Clash (1/2)

---

The malicious roars of Yael roused the rest of the people who were participating at the ritual. Some people directly stood up and took out their weapons while others hesitated.

\”Lord, what about the ritual?\”

\”I'll take care of it! Ruin that brat for me, now!\”

Yael's furious roars reverberated through every corner of the room, the rest had no other choice and could only follow his instructions.

Raven indifferently watched as this scene unfold, to him he any intimidation that Yael does had no effect. He focused on the people who were charging towards him, a thick killing intent emerged from his body as he picked up his hammer.

He twisted his body as he brought down the hunk of metal, as the hammer hit the ground, the scene that happened earlier occurred once again but seeing the similar move from last time, his enemies knew what's going to happen so they halted and hurriedly defended themselves.

Concrete boulders rose up and flew everywhere, most of the assailants were successful in defending but they didn't come out unscathed. The impact from Raven's attack truly shocked them, they couldn't wrap the idea around their heads that such an attack came from a little soldier boy.

Along with his attack, a cloud of dust rose which momentarily obscured their vision. They spread their sense out only to find out that Raven was long since gone from his original position. He used the low-visibility to move fast and arrive at the center of their numbers.

\”Die.\”

His cold tone reverberated from their ears, everyone turned their heads only to see that Raven had already wounded up another attack.

His body spun along with the hammer, at least several people were caught unprepared and received the full powered swings from him. Bones of their body cracked, blood vessels were ruptured and some heads even exploded. Raven's body became soaked with blood and gore but instead of feeling disgusted, there was nothing but absolute coldness in his eyes.

Raven's assault didn't pause. With sheer ferocity, he went into an overdrive and madly swung the Archaic Thousand Arms Hammer at the people who were opposing him. It had to be said, none of these people were weak. Reaching at least Knight Stage in cultivation requires talent and perseverance, all of them could considered as experts in the kingdom once they reached this stage. Unfortunately, no matter how strong they were, they weren't Raven. He just accumulated far too much of an advantage compared to them, his training was never been compromised, partnered with his vast knowledge, these people could only serve as his stepping stone.

Seeing his subordinates being madly assaulted, Yael's face contorted. He wanted to personally step in and squash this bug in front of him but he couldn't, he had a ritual to finish, he couldn't afford to fail.

Just as when Raven was about to succeed in killing everyone around him, a sharp whistle was heard. Raven immediately tilted his head to avoid the projectile and immediately jumped back to inspect who sent that attack.

Raven's eyes narrowed, the new enemy showed himself. He immediately realized that the chaos here might've alerted the guards that he passed through earlier. In particular, this new comer was the Silver Knight who was stationed back there earlier, following behind him were the rest of the guards.

Raven's expression turned somber. He's situation isn't good, though it might appear that he could overpower the Knights, in truth he was just relying on his sheer raw force to catch them by surprise. His energy expenditure was definitely not small, wielding the Archaic Thousand Arms Hammer is still a difficult task for him. He could actually feel that some ligaments on his arms were ruptured by his unrefined and reckless attacks. He just chose to ignore it since it isn't a good idea to show weakness in front of one's enemies.
