386 War: Roles Reversed (1/2)

”You! What did you do to me?” Vit'hum roared as he tried to break the chains wrapped around his limbs.

The chains and shackles appeared ordinary yet to his surprise, they were incredibly sturdy. No matter how hard he tried to break them, his attempts doesn't even leave a mark, on the contrary he's even hurting his own body.

Vit'hum was also alarmed that the chains were rapidly draining his strength. This feeling greatly infuriated him since in his mind, he's the only one who devours, not the other way around.

Raven snorted as he witnessed his futile attempts, he said: ”Don't look at me, I didn't do that.”

”But let me offer you a piece of advise.” Raven sneered, ”Stop wasting your efforts on breaking those. Even if you grew an additional hump on your back, you'll never break it.”

”Damn you!” Vit'hum was incensed, causing him to ignore the chains and instead focus on killing Raven.

He shot forward like a cannonball, his face was twisted due to anger and his energy ferociously flared. However, even in his angered state, Vit'hum was still apprehensive. He was actively paying attention to Raven's movements. Last time when he attacked, he didn't see what Raven did to push him back, his guess that it was some sort of a barrier or a defensive trinket. For an existence who's no different from an ant to be able to do this to him, is already a great source of humiliation to him, so he didn't want it to happen again.

As he neared Raven, he was surprised to see that the human wasn't even moving. Vit'hum started rejoicing, he thought that this human must've turned dumb, thinking that he'll fall for the same trick twice. He could tell that the human was deliberately provoking him to make the same mistakes earlier.

Which is why, just before his claw reached Raven, he forcefully stopped his momentum.

However to his shock, neither the barrier nor the defensive trinket he's expecting appeared, Raven was even staring at him with eyes full of disdain and mockery.

”What's wrong? Why did you stop?” Raven sneered, causing another wave of anger to surface on Vit'hum's heart.

He couldn't believe it. This puny mortal had the audacity to trick him! He couldn't accept that fact that he was outsmarted by a mere ant. Vit'hum had never been this humiliated in his entire life.

Anger consumed his rationality. In his rage, he threw all caution with the wind and vowed to tear this audacious human into shreds.

Vit'hum stomped, his raw power caused the ground beneath him to shatter on impact. He wound up his fist and planned to deliver a solid punch on Raven's face. All the rage and humiliation he felt was focused on this punch, and if this lands to anything, the force behind the punch will be enough to shave a decent chunk of the land around them.

*Boom!*

A loud explosion occur, but instead of blowing Raven up, the force of Vit'hum completely missed Raven.

*Boom!*

Another explosive sound was heard. Everyone watched as Vit'hum's body was sent flying while he coughed out black blood. The chains wrapped around his limbs tightened and prevented him from going any further.

Vit'hum slowly stood up. His face was incredibly ugly and his eyes were filled with unquestionable wrath and a tinge of disbelief as he stared at Raven, who's still standing still on his original spot as if none of what's happening had anything to do with him.

None of the watchers understood what's going on. In fact, even Vit'hum himself was confused.

Just what did go wrong?

He could've sworn that his punch was about to connect. He even saw that it was mere inches away from Raven's face until, through some sort of a miracle, his punch missed him completely and the force behind the punch was redirected somewhere else. After that, it was as if he was hit metal pole of his gut, causing him to reel back in pain. And to top this all off, the chains on his limbs made it clear that he can't escape.

All of this caused Vit'hum's patience to completely snap.

”Damn you!” He savagely roared as he tried charging head first once again.

*Boom!*

Again. Vit'hum was sent flying like a broken ragdoll again.
