329 Leaving (1/2)

---

The earth shook. The winds howled and every primate felt like the sky was caving in.

Everyone was then blinded by a brilliant flash of gold. All they heard was an enormous explosion and the severe trembling of the ground beneath them. Everyone tried to hold onto something to keep themselves stable. Ronald grabbed his brothers and anchored his foot firmly onto the ground beneath him, Charles merely squinted while looking up since he felt that he shouldn't miss this.

Charles saw the enormous golden hand took flight. It took of with the force that almost ripped the sky and the clouds apart. Harry and his subordinates were then grabbed by a mysterious force and were placed on the palms. He then saw Raven lightly swung his hammer and sent the golden hand towards the general direction of the enemy tribe.

It only took a minute before the explosion happened. Charles didn't need to see it personally in order to confirm it. He could already tell what happened when he felt the ground beneath him quaking.

The Frenzied Silverback Tribe is done for. Whether someone survived or not, only fate can tell. And even if they did survive that attack, Charles had no doubts that they would never think about getting revenge. He wouldn't blame them from doing so since he shared the same sentiments.

'Your tribe did nothing wrong so don't be afraid.' Raven's voice echoed on his ears, making Charles somewhat freeze on where he stood. He didn't know how he was doing this but he could only remain silent and listen to what he has to say.

'I'll advise you to keep your kin from exiting the premises of your tribe. What I did definitely agitated the sleeping monsters nearby, I have no doubts that they will start a rampage and eat everything they see. If you want to keep your kin alive, it would best for you to listen to me.'

'I placed an enchantment around your tribe, isolating you from the senses of those monsters. It will remain like that for 14 days and nights. After that period, it will disappear for good and you all will be on your own. This is my thanks for your hospitality towards me.'

'Do remember my words however.' Raven's voice sounded incomparably serious when he said this. 'Make one wrong move and your tribe will end up like the one just now. I hope you will do the right thing.'

'That's all I have to say. Farewell for now, and if fate demands it. We shall see each other again.'

After saying his piece, Charles saw Raven disappeared from where he was like a ghost. He tried probing his surroundings but he couldn't even pick up anything. It was as if Raven dissipated from the face of the earth. All Charles could do was sigh and etch the warning that Raven left behind.

Unbeknownst to him, Raven wasn't only talking to him during that moment. He talked with Ronald and Dennis too.

'What I told to the Monkey was true.' Ronald shook when he heard Raven's voice inside his head. 'If you don't want to die, then don't even think about condensing your sixth tail. The same goes for your brothers.'

The four tailed ape felt his fur stood on its tips as he listened to his words. He didn't speak and waited for Raven to continue.

”You can condense your fifth tail. In fact, I advise it since that will give you ample time to live longer and remain with your brothers. It will also give a boost in strength that you may use to keep your brothers safe. But that's your absolute limit, go past that and this world will start hating you and your brothers for that matter. I am telling you this because you had treated me with great hospitality throughout my stay. And I admire your love for your brothers.'

'Farewell for now. We will see each other again, should fate demands it.'

It was then that Ronald felt Raven disappear. While he was listening to Raven's words, so did Dennis as well.

'Let me guess.' Raven's voice echoed on the young heir's ears, making him shiver. 'You're going to ask me if what I did was right or necessary, no?'
