Chapter 701: Rampage (1/2)

Going back a few hours, sometime during Amalia's meeting with her sisters and their unknown leader…

An intruder came. A young man with short jet black hair, he's wearing black robes with golden edges. His looks were pretty normal but he carried a unique aura which was akin to a slumbering beast that could terrify anyone who dares to disturb him.

He moved like a phantom, swift and silent. No demonic beast detected his presence since he was too sneaky and fast. This young man was of course, none other than Vendrick, his target, the Hag's camp.

Arthur, Rosa and the rest of the tribe thought that he's still in seclusion. He slipped away and intentionally didn't tell them about this since he deemed it unnecessary. Had either Arthur or Rosa knew that he planned on taking on such a dangerous enemy, they wouldn't have allowed him to go alone. They will insist to come with him and even follow him here and that can't happen since Vendrick won't be able to spare enough attention to save them should an accident occur.

They won't be of any help, besides this is his battle alone. He can't endanger them so he decided to go alone without informing them.

Thanks to his recent breakthroughs, arriving at the camp took less time than before. This time however, he didn't purposefully hid upon arrival.

There's no need to deliberately hide his presence since he wasn't here to sneak around and investigate. He was here to pick a fight.

Therefore, the moment he arrive, he released his animosity without holding back, causing the ground beneath him to cave in due to how potent his aura was.

A primal presence descended on the whole camp. It was as if a slumbering beast woke up, pissed and ready to lay waste on its surroundings.

Everything went dark. The defenses of the Hag already located him and imprisoned him with thorny walls. The sentinels in form of insect abominations rose from the underground and began travelling towards Vendrick.

Sadly, even though they were of the insect race and got numerous amplifications from their Hag Mother, the primal aura coming off of Vendrick was so potent that it thoroughly suppresses them. It's only natural though, after all how can mere insects dare to compete with brilliance against that of a Dragon?

Just from intimidation itself, Vendrick had already won uncontested. He would dare even say that even if their mother was here, there's no competing against him.

Vendrick had no plans to waste any words with this abominations. The moment they surfaced, he summoned the Spear of Wisdom of infused it with Lightning. Vendrick could use the spear without risking the tribe, the formation will keep them hidden from view despite no leaving the spear there.

Vendrick stomped forward, the force of his step caused the ground to shatter beneath him but he paid no attention to it. With a loud grunt, he gripped the spear tight and swung at every abominations at his sights.

One mighty swing, numerous streaks of lightning shot out and all of his target fried to ash. They didn't even manage to screech for very long before they died. Some manage to ask for reinforcements but Vendrick wasn't fazed.

Let them come, it doesn't matter how many of them there are. He was planning on wiping them out anyway. He's not even concerned if he was detected by the Hag herself since he was here to kill her too.

Thus, Vendrick's unstoppable rampage began…

Abominations of insects coming from all sides in all shapes and sizes attempted to overwhelm him but every step Vendrick took he would wipe out a good chunk of them with a single swing. Only ashes which scattered in the air was what is left of them when he's done.

All traps were neutralized, totems destroyed, curses and hexes being purified by Lightning and Thunder. Vendrick was practically unstoppable.

It didn't take long before he wiped out all the ones patrolling the territory above the surface. And with the surface being purified by lightning, the boost of the Hag being in her home ground was slowly decreasing. The only thing that puzzled him is that the Hag herself was nowhere to be seen.

She should've been alarmed but the commotion by now. Heck, she should've known that he's here the moment he flared his aura but so far, he hadn't seen her, not even her shadow.

”Strange…” Vendrick frowned, ”I'm not exactly being subtle about my approach right? Where the heck is that Hag?”
