Chapter 721: The beast skin letter (1) (1/2)

Laconic phrase. What is a Laconic phrase? A laconic phrase or laconism is a concise or terse, especially a blunt and elliptical rejoinder

It is named after Laconia, the region of Greece whose ancient inhabitants had a reputation for verbal austerity and were famous for their blunt and often pithy remarks

It is used for efficiency, for emphasis, for philosophical reason or to deflate a pompous interlocutor.

And that is what the answer of Death Monarch akin to. When the envoy arrives at the Island of Peace and present the letter, they were in a large hall. Everyone was waiting.

When they saw that all of their envoy were unharmed they felt relaxed. It means that Death Monarch was not angry.

The envoys look at their leaders and finally understood why they were sent.

Most of these envoy did not hold high position and even the official envoys were disregarded and instead they were selected out of everyone in the Diplomatic department of their organization.

Even their superiors did not try to fight off this job from them.

Turns out, it is not because they were capable in their jobs or that the leaders saw something special about them

It turns out that they were expendables. But these envoys shake off these thoughts and is ready to answer the question of their leader.

Inside the Hall, the leader of the Six Great Power was all sitting in their seat. The Hall is a dome structure with the six great world leader sitting on their seat, high up the dais.

They all ask what is the response of Death Monarch to their suggestion.

The envoy then presented it to the leaders. Nunurai, Feng Jing, Eric and the other leaders was perplexed.

What they see is an envelope made of leather but unlike normal leather, this leather did not seem leather at all.

What is that? Eric ask. The envoy then reply

Death Monarch send his letter.

Hearing that they were all perplexed. When asked to elaborate, the envoy said that Death Monarch was not in the Palace when they came to send the message.

But the officials of the Center Palace of Pandemonium did relay the content of their message to Death Monarch.

They then explained Death Monarch then send a letter to bring to the other Six Great Powers.

The other leaders nodded and Nunurai stand up from his seat coming down from the elevated platform.

While everyone was eager to open the letter, only one person inside that hall felt wary and that person is none other than Hirate. Out of everyone he had the most dealing with Death Monarch.

'This is unlike him' Hirate thought in his mind.

If Death Monarch was not displeased, why would he not come to see the envoy? If he really accepted their proposition, why would he not say it?

Why send a letter? From that he already felt something was wrong.

The moment the letter was presented, Hirate had already exercised his Psionic Force, enveloping himself.

Boris who sits not far away from Hirate notice Hirate and he too become wary.

The envoys presented the letter to Nunurai and as Nunurai opens the letter, unknown to everyone inside the hall, dark clouds are gathering above the Island of Peace.

It was a terrifying sight to witness. Every military fortification in the Island seems to be shaking. Alarms rang out all over the Island.

Just a second ago, the clouds were white and the sky was blue.

Then as Nunurai open the letter, countless of clouds from all over gathered above the sky of Island of Peace and they all turns dark.

Then lightning roars above the clouds.

Lightning exploded all over the sky and one streak of lightning travels in a straight line. For a moment, the guard saw the trace of that lightning.

It was like it separated the sky to two sides.

The roars of the thunder sound like the roars of dragons and ancient beast from primordial times.

The clouds boiled and rolled over, winds went crazy and the waves become wild and rowdy.

Inside the Hall, even though nobody could see the sky outside, they heard the roars of the thunder.

Nunurai face is pale and he could feel his life force is being drained the moment he tries to open that envelope.

He knew now that this letter does not necessarily means Death Monarch agree with their suggestion.

Hirate was about to go out quickly from the Hall when to his shock he discovers that the Space around the entire Hall was locked by a powerful pressure.
