Chapter 328 The Dark Gathering [Pt 6]

Scylla was enjoying herself as she watched in silence.

This entire exchange was proving to be a lot more entertaining than she expected.

'It's making me so hungry...' She licked her lips as she watched Fenrir's wild grin.

'Looks like he's very confident. I suppose I was concerned for nothing, after all.'

Scylla wasn't a fighter, so she knew nothing about sensing the abilities of her opponents.

She only knew one thing about this entire exchange.

'Fenrir will win!'

"Ahh... I see what the issue is." The voice of the man in the mask suddenly filled the room.

He itched the back of his head a little, almost as if he was an incorrigible klutz.

"It seems [Grand Concealment] was still active. My bad..."

His whispers were barely audible, but Scylla caught on to those words.

'[Grand Concealment]? What's that?'

"Pfft! There's no need to keep up your bluff!" Fenrir yelled out, flinging his chair away as he stepped away from the table.

He seemed to be in a hurry to cause bloodshed, a sight that relieved Scylla from the slight unease that was beginning to form within her.

'That's right, Fenrir! Just finish the job right here and now!'

" I'll just end it with one mo—!"

~VWUUUUUUUUUUMMMM!~

An unbelievable pressure suddenly enveloped the room, instantly silencing Fenrir and everyone else who dared to leak out a single sound.

'E-eh...?' Scylla felt her body shaking. 'W-what is this?'

She couldn't understand it.

She could barely move her body, but she looked around her and found that she wasn't the only one trembling like a scared little child.

All the Warriors and Mages that she was counting on were also shivering.

'M-my body feels so cold... and heavy!'

Scylla couldn't grasp it.

She didn't understand that she was sensing the true presence of the man in the mask.

The higher one was in power, the greater their senses were when it came to those who were truly powerful.

Hence, a commoner might not be able to tell how strong an Expert is, but fellow Experts could gauge each other's strength.

In a sense, ignorance really is bliss.

However, what could be made of this situation, where Scylla—a commoner in terms of strength—could feel the powerful presence of the man before?

Was it even possible? Yes...

'W-when did he...?! How...?!'

Fenrir couldn't not comprehend it. He just stood there, like a bumbling idiot.

"It's best this looks like a bloodbath... for later."

Before the man could process what those words meant, the remaining bodies of all the nine hundred and ninety were sliced into many pieces.

~SPLOOOSH!~

Blood gushed out of them as their meaty chunks flew all over the room in an instant.

The purple curtains and carpets were now dyed in blood, with the walls oozing with the liquid that once flowed through the veins of human beings.

These were people—hundreds of them—slaughtered in ways that even animals did not have to endure.

Fenrir could feel thick blood on his body, and several entrails clung to his body. It was sickening—feeling the innards of his subordinates now sticking to him.

The smell... the stench of death was strong in the room.

It made Fenrir go weak in his knees.

Before he knew it, his body descended and he knelt in the pool of blood and gore.

Compared to the terror of the Dragon he fought... compared to the mercy of the Elf he lost to...

'... This is the most humiliating!'

He felt an absolute feeling of powerlessness, and dread consumed his entire being.

It was at this moment that Fenrir knew that his life was no longer his own.

It belonged to none other than the man in the mask.

********

'I've taken care of all the mobs. Looks like [Absolute Ray] and [Severing Claw] are really something. Especially with [True Homing] working passively...'

He had deliberated on which move to use, but eventually settled on those two since he wanted to know how they would function against a large crowd of people.

'[Dead Calm] is active, so I feel nothing.'

Rey took in a deep breath as he watched the remaining enemies he had to deal with.

'Let's get this over with.'
