385 War: Vithum Appears (2/2)
While the majority of crowd are still confused as to what's going on, they then heard a voice that sent shivers to their spine.
”Impudent brat!”
*Boom!*
The ground quaked, its tremors were felt all the way to the kingdom's walls. As the cloud of smoke dispersed, it revealed a disturbing sight of what looks like human hybrid.
The hybrid's face was distorted, almost as if he was in constant pain. His vertical pupils glared hatefully at Raven. His skin was wrinkled, his fingernails are black and sharp, his lower body resembled that of a lizards, he had a tail and a huge lump on his back.
Those who are weaker can't feel it, but for the veterans it was the opposite. The hybrid's stifling aura couldn't be anymore clearer than sunrays. The malevolent air that Alastair emanated earlier wouldn't even come close to what this hybrid has.
”By the gods!” Morel exclaimed, feeling all the hair on his body stood on ends. ”What a foul creature!”
”So this is the one huh.” Leona trembled, ”It's very strong.”
”Vit'hum the Scaleless.” Old Lee frowned, ”The one who's behind all of this.”
Raven who's bearing the full burnt of this malevolent aura, didn't even budge on his spot. His back remained straight while both of his hand were clasped behind him. On contrary to what Vit'hum was releasing, Raven was akin to an immovable mountain or a placid ocean.
Vit'hum had been trying to crush Raven with the weight of his aura to no avail. Even under his hateful glare, all Raven did was smile and said:
”What's wrong? Why do you look so constipated?” Raven asked in an innocent tone, yet traces of mockery was also visible in his words.
”Arrogant child!” Vit'hum exclaimed, causing the ground to shatter beneath his feet. Vit'hum grounded his teeth in anger, he never felt so much hatred against a human before.
”You think that your pitiful Hero Realm strength is enough to defeat me! You, a mere pest, who doesn't even know the immensity of the world. I will make you regret crossing me!” Vit'hum uttered with pure hatred.
”Oh no! Whatever shall I do?” Raven feigned a fearful expression, even going as far embracing himself. ”A half-lizard is going kill me! Help! I'm so afraid.”
The crowd was speechless. Even the veterans who could feel the threat that Vit'hum possess', had their lips twitching. Even Raven's team who's watching him can't help but to smile wryly.
”God damn you!” Vit'hum screamed, stomping his foot in anger and swiftly crossing the distance between him and Raven.
*Boom!*
A loud explosion occurred. The crowd saw a silhouette darting back from the cloud of smoke. And to their surprise, it wasn't Raven.
Vit'hum crashed on the ground, feeling his body numb. His eyes showed a shocked expression.
”What!?”
As the cloud of smoke parted, the silhouette of Raven was revealed, completely unharmed and unbothered. No one, not even Vit'hum himself understood what just happened.
And before Vit'hum could even stand up and prepared to attack once again. Another surprising development occurred.
Four sets of chains emerged from the ground with metals cuffs attached at each end. Vit'hum didn't even have the time to escape or evade as the shackles latched onto his limbs and completely bound him.
And to Vit'hum's surprise, he could feel his strength being sapped away at a constant speed.
His vertical pupils trembled, he then looked incredulously at Raven. He then heard him say:
”Surprised? Don't be. This is just the beginning.”
