138 The moving garden. (1/2)

The Rank-7 Snakes were both giants. They appeared to be around the length of 15 meters!

So the onlookers were quite terrified when the Black Snake had suddenly jumped at Ozul from such a long distance.

Everyone expected another great battle to break out between the Snakes and Ozul, but they were proven wrong in the next moment.

Many of the low-Rank mercenaries were not even able to follow the movements of the Snake. However, it wasn't hard for them not to see its landing since it was cut in two pieces!

For them, all they saw was the Snake Beast disappearing from its place and then reappearing on the ground near Ozul, but not as a whole!

Only Rufus was able to catch a glimpse of the Ball of Purity flashing past the Snake in mid-air before it fell on the ground as if a broken toy.

For a while, the people looking at the scene did not know how to react to this. Although they were happy that one of the Rank-7 Beasts was killed just like that, it also caused them fear.

Watching with their own eyes at how pathetic the Rank-7 Beast looked in death while even one of its hiss was enough to shake their bodies previously made them realize how weak they were.

They shivered in fear when they thought of how worthless they were in front of a powerful person when even the Rank-7 Beast was killed off like a worm!

Only some people like Raven, Blaze, and Clara had different thoughts. Although they had also realized how weak they were, it did not deter them from pursuing the path to power. Instead, they were only more motivated to work harder and be just as strong or even stronger than this.

On the other hand, the White Snake had an incredulous face when it looked at the corpse of its partner on the ground.

”Youss! What d-did you do!” The White Snake spoke in a trembling voice. The tone of her voice was even higher-pitched than the Black Snake. And it looked like she wasn't as fluent in speaking the human language as the Black Snake.

Ozul ignored the burning feeling of the Beast and slowly strode towards it. He could easily tell that the White Snake was both scared and burning with anger right now. Killing off her partner had obviously caused the rage while the fearful emotions were because she knew that one wrong move from her could cause her death in the very next second!

”W-what are you! Ssstop right there! Don't take a sssstep further!” The White Snake hysterically shouted while backing away.

No matter how arrogant she acted in front of the others, her life was on the line at the moment. What would she do with her dignity after death?!

Though before she could back away, several fine blades pointed just below her head in a way that it looked like a magical necklace!

”D-don't come close to me!” the White Snake shouted while squirming uncomfortably at her spot.

”And if I don't stop?” Ozul asked with a cold voice while slowly making his way towards her.

”W-what do you want!? Let me go, I won't cause you any trouble!” the White Snake asked with fear evident in her tone of voice.

”Do you think you are strong enough to cause me any trouble?” Ozul asked while raising his brows a little, which made the Snake panic. She did not know what to say as one wrong word from her could lead to her death.

”W-what do you want m-me to do?” She asked while stuttering. Although she was terrified, she was still able to realize that Ozul wanted something from her, or else, he would have killed her already.

”Simple. Just tell me what were you doing here? And what is this place?” Ozul did not beat around the bush. He could have searched this place himself, but why waste his time when he can just ask?

Moreover, he did not have to worry about the White Snake lying to him since it was a piece of cake for him to know if someone lied.

”That...” the White Snake seemed to be hesitating on whether to answer or not.

*Pukk*

Just when she was hesitating, one of the blades lunged into her tail. Blood spurted out from the wound after the blade came out.

”Ahhh!” she cried out loud in pain. Her tail stomped around the boulder on which she stood.

Because of the force behind the tail, the boulder, which was already cracked after the Black Snakes jump, broke down into smaller rocks.
