Chapter 660: Fog Wanderers (1/2)

”...you killed it?”

”Uh, yeah.”

Raven inhaled sharply and pinched the bridge of his nose, he felt a massive headache creeping in thus he asked: ”Did you kill it without asking for my opinion or did I just forgot about giving you the go signal? Which one happened?”

”Uhh...” Paolo was sweating as he saw Raven's expression, he felt rather awkward as he stutteringly said: ”U-m...I-uh...I-It's the former.”

”Haaaah!” Raven released an exhausted sigh which almost sounded like a groan. He massaged his temples and went silent for a bit.

'Yep, he is reckless. Dang it.' Raven scolded Paolo in his mind as his thoughts accelerated. Raven immediately notified the Avatars he left at the Private Chambers to monitor the situation, giving them orders as he did so.

Raven's silence felt ominous to Paolo. It also didn't help that there were four other people around them who were giving him judgmental gazes. Paolo wanted to weep but had no tears, how's he supposed to know that he needed to tell Raven first before killing that huge pair of eyes and disembodied voice? He thought that Raven already gave them the go signal when he told them about their existence.

*Swoosh!*

Paolo shivered. The other four snickered when they saw him reacting that way. The people here didn't even need to look up to know who just arrived. The sound of flapping wings and the piercing gaze that Paolo felt penetrating through his soul were enough clues to know who this was.

Levi landed behind Paolo, his gaze was cold and furious, Paolo felt a prickling sensation on his skull. He sweated coldly and smiled in a defeated manner. He then thought to himself...

'This is it, goodbye world. It was nice knowing you. He's either going to kill me or castrate me. I'm done for.'

”It seems that my gut feeling was correct.” Levi's icy voice caused Paolo to shiver uncontrollably on his seat. ”What did this idiot do?”

”He killed one of the Fog Wanderers.” Henry snickered beside Paolo, telling Levi the long and short of it.

Levi's expression darkened even further upon hearing that. He smiled coldly and said: ”Hoho, excellent work.”

He said so but he pulled out a sword from his spatial ring. Paolo was trembling, he didn't even need to look behind to see what kind of face Levi was making. He in deep shit right now and he had no one to blame other than himself.

”Castration it is...” Levi's voice sounded merciless. Paolo panicked and wanted to defend himself but he can't muster up strength to stand up against Levi's wrath.

”Calm down. It's okay.”

As if granting Paolo solace and salvation, Raven's words were just on time to prevent Levi from cutting off Paolo's horns. Paolo's shoulder's drooped down as if he was released from life or death situation. He then looked at Raven with a face filled with gratitude.

”...I've checked with the Avatars just now. The enemy camp in panic since one of their Leader's died. However, someone came to pacify them. I don't think they'll schedule the war earlier with just this. If anything, I bet they're already expecting it.”

”In short, no Castration...for now at least.” Raven of course didn't forget to give Paolo a tired gaze which contained all the message Paolo needed to know.

Levi, hearing Raven's words, snorted and place his sword back to his spatial ring. However, he just couldn't let this one slide so he needed to give Paolo a good lesson.

*WHAM!*

Summoning a spiked wooden club, Levi mercilessly whacked Paolo's head with enough force to shatter the damn thing. Paolo flew to the other side of the room, feeling dazed and seeing stars for a brief moment.

”...there goes the rest of his brain cells.” Theo muttered as he slumped down on his chair, his comment caused the others to chuckle softly.

Paolo hadn't even recovered fully from the surprise attack when he saw Levi's furious face near him. He shivered as he tried to prepare himself for a good scolding. Levi pinched both of his cheeks and started stretching them.
