Chapter 119 Reaper’s Call

Chapter 119 Reaper's Call

Atticus, seeing Ronad looking at Ember, immediately tried to stand but couldn't even move an inch, Alvis's aura completely locking him in place.

Ronad started walking toward Ember, who was also locked in place by Alvis's aura. "You know what your father's last words were when I ripped his head off?" Ronad said to Ember with a huge grin.

How could Ronad not know the children of the one who killed his son? Before he had planned and killed Ariel, Ronad knew basically everything there was to know about him.

He had initially wanted to target and kill Ember and Caldor to make Ariel feel the same way he felt when he killed his son. However, seeing how they hardly left the estate, and even if they left, it would be within the sector, accompanied by a significant number of guards.

Despite him being able to take care of the guards, he still couldn't act recklessly within the sector. If any significant battle occurred in the sector, the response would be immediate. n-.0VeLBIn

Ember's expression immediately shifted. Everyone had refused to tell her who exactly killed her father. What they were all trying to avoid was Ember growing up solely for the sake of revenge.

But Ember had left it as is because she knew she couldn't do anything to him currently. She had wanted to grow stronger first before taking any action.

To see the man who killed her father in front of her evoked emotions that couldn't be explained. "You killed him," she said, her voice cracking.

"You killed him," she repeated,

Each time she spoke those words, the air around her seemed to thicken and chill. A cold mist began to seep from her, wrapping around her like a shroud.

"You killed him,"

Each time she spoke, she strained and forced her body to move, but Alvis's aura remained strong, her bones creaked as they tried hard to withstand the pressure she was putting on them.

Her gaze was directly fixed on Ronad, her expression filled with absolute fury. It was obvious she wanted nothing more than to tear every single part of Ronad apart.

Ronad, seeing that look, grinned from ear to ear, revealing his white teeth. Seeing a completely charred-black individual smile was unsettling, to say the least.

"Ho? You want to kill me?" He asked, grinning at Ember.

Atticus was completely in a daze, his mind blank. He had initially tried to ask for help from the katana earlier, but it remained completely silent.

His entire focus was on getting up to save Ember. The only sound he could hear was the sound of Ronad counting down.

"6, 5..."

Each reduction in number made his heart tremble, but no matter how hard he tried, his body wouldn't budge.

'Will I lose Ember here?'

As soon as that thought entered his head, he killed it immediately, 'Never!'

He screamed in his head and tried to move again, attempting to stand.

He put both hands on the ground, mustering every fiber of his strength in his body, Atticus pushed.

The battle cry that escaped him was fierce, fueling his resolve.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

And then, slowly but surely, a red aura slowly started to envelop his form, empowering him.

He began to gradually stand, with bulging veins in his body bursting as his body got covered in blood. But Atticus didn't even flinch.

He finally stood up straight, his gaze fixed on only one person: Ronad.

His eyes were completely red, looking at Ronad with an utter chillingness that would frighten many. But Ronad remained unruffled, his expression not changing one bit as he continued to count down slowly.

As Atticus was about to take a step forward, suddenly, the aura surrounding him increased twofold, slamming him brutally back down onto the ground, unmoving.

The only thing he could hear was Ronad's voice, sounding like a reaper's call as he finished counting down.

"2...

1..."
