188 Black Curtain Cometh (2/2)

The Emissary who chided Yael earlier couldn't help but to inspect the little soldier brat closely. He did it not because of Yael's words but because he thought that he awfully looked familiar. However, no matter how close he inspected, he just couldn't remember who he was properly, all he knew is that he felt a great irritation as he looked at his face.

Raven's eyes met the curious gaze of the Emissary, he silently spread his sense on this person's body and he immediately recognized him. A wide sneer appeared on Raven's face as he straightened his body and said:

\”Long time no see, Fifth Emissary. I trust that your soul was healed properly, no?\”

As soon as he said these words, the Fifth Emissary's eyes widened under his mask as he shakily raised his finger and pointed at him.

\”You! I remember now! You were that little shit who injured me before!\” The Fifth Emissary growled ferociously which stunned the members of the Black Curtain Guild.

Raven grinned widely as he neither confirmed nor denied his claim. Nevertheless, the Fifth Emissary was correct anyway. It has been a couple of months since that incident happened but the Fifth Emissary could still vividly remember that event like it just occurred yesterday.

Explaining how much pain he felt back then would be difficult to do. If anything, to him it felt like his body was being divided by a metal saw in half, it burns yet it chilled his entire body frozen. He remembered not being able to speak properly for the first few days after that incident due to how painful that was, no one knew what happened to him since he can't talk nor hear them at all. It was a very traumatic experience that still haunts him in his sleep.

This is why without even wasting a single moment. The Fifth Emissary howled and released his aura. Pieces of armor appeared in his body, each of them were tinged with a dark red hue and had carvings akin to wailing and writhing souls.

Along with his howl, a sad and shrill aura suddenly descended on to the room. From the bodies of hanged people above, ethereal creatures emerged. Every single one of them took after the faces of the bodies they came from, albeit radiating shrill and evil aura.

Raven didn't even need to analyze what happened. He knew that the Fifth Emissary just roused the souls of the dead from their graves in order to deal with him.

A somber expression reached Raven's face, he needed to do something before the souls of the innocent gets anchored by the natural laws and become specters or vengeful souls.

He roused his blood essence, his longevity in other words, use the forbidden technique one again. He spat out a glob of blood essence which drained at least five years of his life and with it, a strange symbol emerged. Raven clasped his hands together and quickly chanted an incantation despite his exhaustion washing over him. As the souls nearly subliminated, Raven finished his technique and the symbol from his blood essence turned into a wide array that illuminated the whole room.

With a benevolent heart, Raven roared: \”First Holy Word: Salvation!\”

The array's light intensified, it released a strong yet gentle light which made all the souls stop from their tracks. All of them looked up, as they basked in that gentle light, the evil aura that corroded their nature disappeared entirely which caused a tremendous backlash for the Fifth Emissary.

\”Depart in peace.\” With one last prayer, the array flared once more and the souls disappeared one by one. Before they departed from the mortal world, they expressed their silent gratitude for what Raven did for them.

Blood seeped out from the Fifth Emissary's lips, he harshly glared at this brat in front him. He mentally cursed every single fiber of his body and couldn't help but to think that Raven was the bane of his existence.

Out of nowhere, a flash of light passed through the Fifth Emissary and went directly towards Raven. This attack caught him unprepared which caused Raven to fly backwards while spitting out blood. The Fifth Emissary looked behind him as looked at who sent the attack.

\”I didn't ask for your help.\” The Fifth Emissary coldly said.

The Fourth Emissary shrugged and said: \”I didn't have to help if you've killed him already.\”

\”YOU EVIL SPAWN! YOU DARE TO HARM MY SON! THIS OLD MAN WILL END YOU!\”
