Everyone shivered in fear as they saw how Raven reduced Gil into mere ashes.

Not even a moan of pain was heard from him. From the moment that the blue flame appeared until Gil was reduced to ashes, all of it only took mere seconds. Some blinked during that moment, causing them to miss the whole thing, thankfully there was not much to seen anyway.

The invaders are now more terrified, even Harry himself couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine upon seeing how effortless Raven dealt with Gil.

Harry fought with Gil once. He was able to defeat him but not as a easy as Raven made it look. What's even more shocking is that, Gil didn't have an ounce of retaliation during the whole ordeal. Harry knew Gil's personality. Even him, the Tribe Leader of their tribe, would find it difficult to order Gil around or else he will fight him to death. Harry realized that Gil knew and already accepted his fate, and he couldn't help but feel regretful of his actions.

Everyone in the Frenzied Silverback Tribe acknowledged the potential of the young monkey, some even considered him as one of the candidates as the next tribe leader. But in front of this human - no, monster. He wasn't much at all.

”Alright, that's two down.” Raven announced in a casual tone.

Silence permeated around the area. Everyone watched with bated breaths as they waited for Raven's next actions. None of them dared to utter any sound, they didn't even moved from where they stood due to fear that they might provoke Raven's ire.

Raven looked down at the prostrating apes in front of him and thought for a bit. After blanking out for a while, an idea dawned on him.

He then raised his arm and beckoned. All of a sudden, one of the prostrating apes felt a mighty force pulling him forward. He couldn't resist even if he wanted to, he could only watch as he helplessly floated in the air and made way towards the waiting human.

Jus like how Raven grabbed Gil out from his hiding spot, the similar thing happened to this ape.

The ape suddenly found himself being grabbed the neck. He then saw Raven staring at him with a bored look, yet in his eyes he wasn't being choked by a human. To him, it felt more like the god of death was staring at him while silently pondering about the type of death he will make the ape experience. And even though the Ape was physically larger than Raven, it didn't matter at all since the ape couldn't even think about retaliating at all.

”Tell the location of your tribe.” Raven ordered, his tone offered no refusal.

The Ape in his hands shivered and couldn't speak. Raven could feel its teeth clattering and shivering. He raised his brow and waited but the ape didn't speak at all.

”I don't recall giving you any permission to speak, Monkey.”

*Boom!*

”Gahk!!!”

Raven blasted Harry with the full force of his cultivation base causing him to prostrate even deeper. The suppression felt like he was being pressed down by a whole mountain. The weight suffocated him so much that he vomited mouthfuls of blood. Now, even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't since he felt like there's something pressing down on his throat.

”Are you going speak or not?” Raven asked the Ape on his hands.

The said Ape never felt so torn. He could more or less tell why Raven wanted to know. He didn't want to tell him, but he also didn't want to die.

”So you have chosen death, huh? I see.” Raven said in a bored tone. ”Well, it doesn't matter. If you're not going to tell me, then I'll do it myself.”

Raven then placed a hand on the ape's head and forced his mighty will inside the ape's psyche. The Ape roared in pain when he did that. The ape felt like its head was struck by a massive boulder. What's even worse is that the pain didn't only happen once. It was like Raven was drilling a hole onto its head using a blunt object.

The sound that the ape made reverberated all over the tribe, causing many primates to grimace. The shrill cries of pain turned into a sobs of pain. Once Raven removed his hands from the head of the ape, it's cries also stopped.

Its head flopped on the side while its mouth was overflowing with spit. Its eyes were dilated and completely lifeless. Everyone who's watching this didn't have to guess, they all know that the ape died painfully.
