324 Sudden Invasion (2/2)
”All of you, stand down for a moment.”
A voice echoed from the dark entrance. The enemy primates immediately paused their fights and retreated back. Ronald used this moment to check the well being of his brothers and tend to their injuries. Meanwhile, Charles face went solemn as he stared intently at the entrance.
It was then that someone came out from the dark entrance.
An Ape who stood for about 20 meters tall with bloody red eyes and along with a bright silver fur covering it's body, appeared. It's massive frame gave off an impression of dread and danger, its chest was covered with scars that was earned through constant battle.
This newcomer had set foot on to the realm of being a Tier 5 Demonic Beast. And since the invaders listened to its words, it was clear that this Frenzied Silverback Ape's status on their tribe is anything but simple.
”My, my. What's with that look Charles? Aren't you happy to see me?” The Frenzied Silverback Ape's mocking tone was evident with its words as it greeted Charles.
”Your definitely getting bolder, Harry.” Charles answered as he stepped forward. ”I didn't expect you to lose your patience and invade my home. It seems like you're forgetting who gave you those scars.”
Charles' confident and borderline arrogant words caused Harry's face to twitch in annoyance. The silverback ape grinded its teeth and replied:
”Oh, I remember it alright. How could I ever forget when it haunts me every night? These scars still aches whenever I'm reminded of it. This is why I vowed to never rest until I crushed you skull with my bare hands.”
Harry's words were uttered trough gritted teeth. A fearsome aura was being expelled on his body, suffocating not only the citizens of the tribe but also his own men too.
If it weren't for Charles who stood in front and bore the weight of Harry's fearsome aura, a lot of his citizens might've fainted from fright already.
'He had gotten stronger.' Charles muttered inwardly but didn't show any surprise or worry on his face.
The day that he feared coming finally arrived. If he knew that they're going to invade this soon, he would've groomed a successor earlier than this. That way, maybe he could opt for a mutual destruction. He also should've not let Harry escape back then, he should've took matters on his own hand. If he had done that, maybe this day wouldn't have happened.
While everyone was panicking, Raven casually walked over towards where Ronald and his brothers were. Ronald nodded towards him and Raven gave him a shrug. He then walked over towards Dennis and said:
”Do you still want to thank me for saving him?”
Raven's words sounded cryptic in Dennis' ears, but when he saw where he was pointing, his eyes immediately constricted. He then finally realized what Raven meant.
Although his presence is ignored, he could not evade Raven's senses. Blending on to the darkness of the entrance, was Gil who's watching everything unfold.
Dennis understood what Raven meant. Seeing that Gil was here, he immediately knew that it was his decision that caused a lot of people to get hurt. He then remembered Raven's words before that now made sense to him.
”But I'm confident that doing that (letting Gil live) will teach you a valuable lesson in the near future.”
”Mercy to your enemies, is cruelty not only to yourself but to your loved ones as well. Do well in remembering that, Young Heir.” Raven said as he ruffled the young monkey's head.
This prompted Dennis to tear up due to disappointment in himself. He finally understood the foolishness of his actions. If he had just turned his head away and let Raven finish off Gil, then none of this would've happened. His decision caused many of their citizens to get hurt and he couldn't help but feel responsible for it.
”But never mind that actually.” Harry's voice sounded once more, the fearsome aura that's emanating out of his body disappeared. His face showed a smile which sent shivers to Charles' body since he knew that this guy is definitely up to something.
”We don't have to fight in all seriousness.” Harry casually said, ”I'm here for a simple reason.”
”Allow me to take the Tailed Siblings, and I will leave without harming anyone any further. I will also promise that our tribe will never invade yours for a 100 years if you agree to this. What do you say?”
