384 War: Reunion and Snap (2/2)
”I'm sure. Leave this to me and take a good rest.” Raven answered.
”Will you truly be fine, Young Master?” Morel asked.
”I will, trust me.” Raven answered confidently, ”Moreover, thank you for being there for my family while I was away.”
”It's the least that I can do as your retainer and on behalf of the Kingdom.” Morel bowed, ”Please be careful Young Master.”
”I will.” Raven nodded and walked past them.
As majority of the troops retreated back to the safety of the Kingdom's formation, Raven eventually arrived beside the Queen who's still holding down the golems with her technique.
”Aunt, it's fine to release them. Please retreat to the walls as well.” Raven informed her causing Elizabeth to look at him with uncertainty.
”Wouldn't it be fine for me to hold them down while you destroy them?” She asked.
”It would.” He answered truthfully, ”But I'm afraid the backlash of your technique will injure you. Technically, you shouldn't even be using this much energy since you just got back from your body. Allow me to handle this. I'll I be fine I promise.”
Elizabeth sighed since if he said it like that, then there's no reason she could refuse. But in her heart she was gratified because her daughter chose an extremely qualified man to be her partner. As a mother-in-law, aside from giving them grandchildren, there's nothing else she could wish for.
She then released the golems and gave one last look at Raven before retreating back to the walls.
Now, everyone's eyes were focused on the four hulking giants and the lone human who decided to face them. All of them felt nervous about the battle. Although they could tell that Raven was strong, they still don't know if he's going to be able to defeat all four with just him alone.
Raven's eyes shone with a clear glint as he gazed at the Giant Golems in front of him. As they began regaining their mobility, his body slowly levitated.
There was nothing but pure indifference on his face. It was if their size didn't matter to him at all. He wasn't fazed about their toughness nor how difficult it is to locate their core. None of those matter since as soon as he appeared, the fates of these golems are sealed.
As the golems witnessed him, they could vaguely feel the arrogance that this person was exuding. Their feral natures were provoked, causing them to act. Two golems rushed towards him while the other two condensed black orbs on their mouth.
The people who were watching felt their hearts tighten at this scene. They bore witness to the ferocity of this golems so surely, they know just how much danger Raven currently was in. Some people started thinking that the retreat order was a mistake and that they shouldn't have left him alone to face all of the golems at once.
But before they could even voice out their concerns, an incredible scene unfolded before them.
”Heroic Influence: Destruction Territory.”
As soon as these words left Raven's lips, a burst of light emerged from his body. The light erected a dome encasing him and the four golems within.
Time seemingly stopped, the golems stopped moving from where they were. Out of nowhere, white lines appeared on each of them. These lines swiftly scattered and covered their entire bodies, at a distance it appears as if these lines were similar what one could see at the surface of a cracked mirror. Raven lifted a hand and…
Snapped.
*Crack!* *Woosh!*
A loud fracturing sound echoed across the ears of everyone who's watching. Under their dumbstruck gazes, the four Giant Golems crumbled like shattered rocks, shortly after that they turned into dust particles that scattered with the wind.
There was pin drop silence on the battlefield. Everyone's jaws were hanging open. Their minds almost refuses to acknowledge that Raven just killed four Giant Golems with a snap of his fingers.
”And done.” Raven said non-chalantly.
It was done? Just like that? One snap and that's it? What kind of monster is he?
These are the only few of the many questions that people had in their mind. Even his own team couldn't help but feel an enormous shock upon witnessing how he easily defeated the enemies they struggled so much with.
But even though the golems are no longer a threat. Raven didn't retreat. Instead, he kept his vigilance and looked over the horizon.
Just as when someone's about to ask a question, Raven's voice suddenly sounded on their ears.
”You're watching right? Come out, it's time to finish this.”
