Chapter 880: Show of Ultimate Power 2
Five Beings, but one gaze, and it was clear to see that they were far from ordinary.
The group consisted of four females and a single male, all draped in cloaks of white.
But what made them really different wasn’t their celestial beauty, or radiant shining scales, but the horns growing out from their foreheads.
No Frost Wyvern Ryuk had seen, including the royalties just a few distances away from him, had horns, but these five did, making them quite special even amongst royalties.
When he turned to his arm and found Isha’s shivering worsening, he knew for a fact this was most likely who she referred to as ’they.’
"You took the controls of the mind of our lower brethren, and forcefully used them to attack us," one of them said to him.
"And in your hands is the Accursed One who has been imprisoned. You must have forcefully broken her out of imprisonment."
"You’ve sown chaos and discord, a sign of an enemy," another one of the females added, all looking at Ryuk, who, in reply, raised his hands.
"Return."
He commanded, and the Wyvernoid Royalties witnessed as the Wyverns around him turned their backs and left the scene.
They returned exactly where they were before their minds were taken over, and Ryuk dimmed the pink aura around him, allowing their minds to return.
Most continued on their business, while some looked around groggily, witnessing areas lit with destruction, or wondering why they had shifted into their Wyvernoid forms.
"If I had come to your gate and simply knocked upon your door," Ryuk said to the five,
"I would have been stopped by the idiots of your kind, and that would have wasted me, precious time, something I cannot afford."
"Though my actions were chaotic much, but...here you all are."
He completed.
"So your goal... was to meet with us?" they asked.
"My goal is to ask you a couple of questions," he said, watching them look at him from his shoes to his face.
That prompted Ryuk to add:
"And how you answer them will determine whether you will survive to see tomorrow’s sun or not."
His words obviously reached them as he watched their facial expressions morph into disbelief.
"Is that supposed to be a threat?"
"My first question..." Ryuk began, as silence fell from disbelief.
"A couple of months ago, a group of Frost Wyverns came to your Kingdom, all the way from a lower realm world called Endearth."
"They were led by an Ancestral Level Frost Wyvern, Celine Nagas."
"According to one of my own present at the scene, Isha, they had been turned away right at your Kingdom’s gates," he narrated, though there wasn’t any sort of following in their eyes.
They simply looked at him blankly.
"Where are they now?" he asked, and the reply came.
"Thousands of New Frost Wyverns come into the Kingdom every day."
"Do you expect us to know where each one of them came from, or the name of their leader, who, according to you, is some nobody from a lower realm world?"
This time, it was the only male amidst them that replied to the question, and in return, Ryuk nodded slowly.
"That nobody you don’t remember is the reason you died..." he voiced out.
"I... died?"
The man scoffed, but not a second later, he found a shadow cast out over him from behind.
He looked and found Ryuk no more, and when he turned back with speed, he was halted in motion when a claw grabbed at his head.
He tried to dodge, but was too slow.
Ryuk’s claw grabbed at his head.
"BE GONEEE!" the man roared out, his claw slamming out and smashing straight into Ryuk’s chest.
Alas, it hung just 5 centimeters away, and Eldori looked at his outstretched hand, finding it covered by pink restrictive runes.
’I... I can’t move.’
It occurred to him.
"LET HIM GO!"
The roars of the four others echoed as attacks blasted up to Ryuk from all sides.
But halfway through to him,
SNAP!
A single snap and every attack hung in the air, along with the Frost Wyverns, who got stuck in their motions.
It left just Ryuk, Isha buried in his chest, and Eldori, whose head remained grabbed, his eyes looking around in shock, before they turned to Ryuk and froze.
He spoke no words, nor was he given time to regret or beg for his life.
CREAAAAAAAK
Ryuk pinched the head harder with his draconis claws, bypassing the skull and piercing right into his brain.
And then, veins strained over his arms as he exerted strength upwards.
SPLATTERRRRRR
Blood splashed through the air as Eldori’s head was forcefully ripped out of his own neck, blood splaying through the air like rain.
SNAP!
A second snap, and time resumed, though every attack heading for him also faded into nothing, but snowflakes, scattering upon the ground.
The Wyvernoid Royalties could only stare in confusion and shock as they witnessed a body randomly fall from the sky amidst the snow and collapse.
And in Ryuk’s other hand was none other than the head, which he slowly let go of, allowing it to drop onto the dead body.
"Ahh...ahhh"
"You...Eldori..."
Forceful inhales and exhales left the lips of the other four in the group, unable to believe the sight of their own, but they weren’t given the time to mourn.
"I’ll repeat for the last time..."
His words were like a decree, wiping out the rage they felt in their hearts as the aura of death lingered in the skies.
It gave them no peace to feel for their companion’s death; instead, worry and fear about their own.
"Where are the group of Frost Wyverns from the lower realm of Endearth, and led by an Ancestral Level Frost Wyvern known as Celine Nagas..." Ryuk asked, turning his soulless gaze to the remaining four.
Only now did it occur to them what type of horror the young man before them was.
A staredown between him and them occurred, and in the end, one of the four sighed, and then she snapped her fingers.
Immediately, a Frost Wyvern from the side quickly rushed upon her, whispering in her ear some words.
"We have your answer," she said, and a sweet smile bloomed on Ryuk’s face.
"I’m listening."
