Chapter 276 Trembling
?276 Trembling
Atticus found some of the bones of the wolf like beasts on the floor, obviously from when he had rampaged and killed the beasts in the cavern. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
After walking for a few seconds, Atticus also saw a large crater that had formed on the floor, presumably from the explosive landing he had made the last time.
'Did they take it away?' Atticus wondered.
Thick amounts of mana were still blanketing the entire space, making him unable to feel things correctly.
While he could sense everything around him, he couldn't identify them accurately due to the interference of intense amounts of mana.
As Atticus stopped walking and pondered whether to brighten up the expansive space with illumination runes, two blood orb like eyes flickered open high in the air, both of them focused on Atticus's supposedly invisible form.
The two orbs burned with such fury that there was no mistaking it for anything other than intense hatred.
It was as though the creature were gazing at its fated enemy.
The two blood red bright orbs kept descending at an eerie slow pace before suddenly stopping.
They remained just after the 50 meter mark high up in the air, seemingly aware that entering that range would alert the white haired boy to their presence.
Without making a single sound, hundreds of large tendrils, reminiscent of colossal octopus tentacles, gathered around the glowing red eyes.
Each massive tendril coiled backward, their razor sharp ends all pointing dangerously toward Atticus's form.
It was clear that the beast wanted nothing more than to turn Atticus into Swiss cheese.
Just as the tendrils were about to shoot toward Atticus, the beast suddenly saw Atticus's right arm gravitating towards the katana hilt on his left waist, holding it firmly.
They would be utterly astounded. Rightfully so.
But regardless of the beast feeling intense, deep rooted fear from just looking at Atticus's actions, at the end of the day, it was a master- rank beast— a rank that could only be attained through blood and tears.
There was not a single master- rank being in the human domain who was a coward, and the Shadow Seraphon followed this ideal. It wasn't one to cower, especially when it was in its domain.
This puny human had intruded in to its domain, and he would face the consequences of such actions.
The Shadow Seraphon's blood red eyes seemed to glow with even more intensity as the massive tendrils that had already loosened up from their initial coiled state because of their trembling suddenly tensed and coiled with even more tension than before.
Without so much as a sound, the hundreds of massive tendrils shot towards Atticus's form with mind numbing speed.
Their movement cut through the air so forcefully that concentric circles of displaced air materialized around each tendril.
Yet, no sound was made.
Just as the massive tendrils entered the 50 meter radius mark, an incalculable number of silver streaks burst forth, filling the space, each of them briefly illuminating the pitch black space.
The appearance of the streaks was followed by an intense and deafening,
SCREEEECH!
The whole cave trembled; the intensity of a master- rank beast scream was enough to blow the brains of any one without adequate strength.
The hundreds of tendrils all initially heading towards Atticus's form abruptly fragmented, their forms spilling into multiple, still massive pieces.
Black, hot liquid gushed out from the severed tendrils, the massive forms of each of the pieces crashing on to the cave floor,causing tremors with each impact in response to the weight.
Atticus swiftly turned his gaze back ward; his eyes seemed to pierce through the darkness, his gaze instantly meeting the blood red eyes of the Shadow Seraphon.
Atticus's cold words followed, his words sending shivers through the Shadow Seraphon's form,
"Found you."
