Chapter 721: The beast skin letter (1)

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.

'Shit' Boris who was beside Hirate is frowning as he could feel a powerful pressure is about to descend on them

'Throws the letter' Hirate shouted.

Nunurai is also not an idiot.

The moment he recognizes something is wrong with the letter he throws it away like he had touch something that is very hot

But like it is being supported by some force of the world, the letter did not fall to the ground. Instead it floated there on the location where Nunurai tries to open it.

Then slowly to the shock of everyone inside the Hall, the letter went out from the envelope, floating there and emanating powerful pressure.

BOOM! There could feel an explosion sounded in their mind. The Hall cracked from its tile floor to the ceiling

All the protection formation inside the Hall was instantly vaporized before it could show its ability

It felt like the Heaven is descending down on them. Eric who was the weakest among these people coughed up blood

Outside a terrifying force that would send all living things quaking in terror gathered in the skies.

Even the soldiers were caught off guard as they felt the pressure is forcing them to knee.

And the closer the force is about to come down to the island, the harder the pressure it brought to the people living in the island

As this powerful force is about to descend down, a mace fly out from the ground and then fly up towards the sky.

It shot up toward the sky with incredible speed that it produces sonic boom and rip apart space around it

They could hear the sound of a scream

'Fuck you, Raymond' the sound seems to come from the mace itself.

The few commanders that was about to went into panic mode felt a little relieved when they saw that mace.

That mace is none other than the famous mace of Earthshaker, their Supreme Commander Raymond

It is a talking mace. It's potty mouth is known to all the soldiers of the World Government.

Because it always curses when the Supreme Commander went to an official gathering, he would usually leave the talking mace alone in his room

Today, that mace fly toward the heaven. Since the mace is here, that means Raymond the Earthshaker is also here.

The mace flies up and up until suddenly on one point of the sky, it hit something. One could hear the sound of booms echoing up there in the sky.

The force that is generated by opening that letter is coming down and the mace is trying to prevent it from coming down.

For a moment, the pressure lightened up.

To everyone that sees this from below, they thought that the mace had stopped the pressure from coming down.

But to the Commander who had a higher level of cultivation, they are frowning

They could see up there in the sky, that the mace is slowly coming down inch by inch. The pressure from the Heaven is pushing the mace down

The mace is using its power to push that force upwards and the force is pushing down the mace. It is a contest of strength.

The mace is powerful but it is after all a sealed mace. Its power is dependent upon its master. It is just like the Ten Eternal Rings of Death Monarch.

The stronger Death Monarch become, the powerful the ring become.

The mace is the same.

Its master while a powerful one, could it compare to the prowess of Death Monarch who had reached Divine Comprehension on the Perfection Path?

Laws swirl around the mace, changing the concepts of destruction, nullifying strength and enhancing the pressure itself.

BOOM! Thunder roars as if it is expressing its displeasure to this obstacle.

And the pressure is building up in the sky. The longer the mace hold up the pressure, the stronger it became like a dam that is about to burst.

The thunder grew more vigorous and lightning fills the sky like it would be raining lightning bolts toward the island if the mace could not endure the pressure of the sky.

Inside the Hall, all the six people inside could feel that the letter pressure lightened for a moment and Hirate immediately recognize who could lighten these pressure.

'Raymond is back' he thought to himself.

It was then that the envelope slowly unfurls.
