Austin looked surprised. "You're from the livestock race?"
he asked, raising an eyebrow.
He had never heard of the livestock race before.
The creature made a snorting sound. His lion's head, so incongruous with his human body, wore a smug expression.
"Yes, I'm from the livestock race!
Does that make you afraid? It should!
Release me at once, and if you kneel before me and apologize, I might let you go unharmed.
If you don't, you'll face grave consequences," he warned.
He thought that Austin was scared, and worried about angering the livestock race.
Austin sneered. "What makes you think I'm afraid?"
he said coldly.
Apart from the god of chaos,
no one in all the worlds could pose a legitimate threat to Austin.
He was, without question, one of the most powerful beings in existence, second only to the god of chaos.
The creature saw Austin's disdain and felt insulted.
"Brat, what are you waiting for? Release me now!" he roared.
Austin sighed impatiently. Using only the slightest energy, he tightened his grip fractionally.
The creature's fist exploded.
The creature screamed,
and watched in shock as his arm shattered to pieces too.
Writhing with pain, the creature collapsed onto the ground.
Austin immediately grabbed the
s will towards the young man.
"Stop!" his subordinates shouted, scrambling to help Elder Sergei.
They hurled a series of desperate attacks at Austin, trying in vain to get their leader back.
"Get lost!" Austin snapped.
He lifted one hand,
and with a bang, an energy blast surged towards the creatures.
Once again, they were all thrown backwards.
"Brat, what do you want?"
Elder Sergei demanded, feeling suddenly afraid of this young man.
He had not expected this fearsome display of power. It was clear they had no chance of harming him, let alone of defeating him.
He struggled to break free of the force carrying him towards Austin, but it was futile.
In a moment, he was floating in midair directly in front of Austin.
"Tell me the truth.
Where did the eight branches of pilgrims go?
My patience is wearing thin, so I advise you to stop wasting my time,"
Austin informed him sternly.
Elder Sergei shook his head.
Instantly, the elder's arms exploded.
Elder Sergei screamed.
Blood gushed out from his wounds.
"All right, I'll tell you everything you want to know!" he shouted in a panic.
He felt an overwhelming despair at the realization that this young man would torture and kill them all unless they gave him what he wanted.
