Chapter 237 Evil eyes are on us.
An Evil being sat huddled on a rough rock, deep within the dark, musty cave that served as its lair. The only illumination came from a few flickering torches, casting dancing shadows across the damp walls.
The creature was shrouded in darkness, its twisted form barely discernible in the dim light. Its skin was a sickly gray, and its eyes glowed with a malevolent yellow light, seeming to pierce the darkness like a knife.
Suddenly, the ground beneath the Evil being erupted, and Mark emerged from the earth. He was massive, with bat-like wings and a powerful build that exuded raw strength. His eyes glowed with a corrosive energy that seemed to burn through the air, and his yellow gaze fixed on the Evil being.
The creature recoiled in fear, sensing the danger that Mark represented. It knew that it was no match for such power, and it trembled as the massive creature loomed over it, its wings stretching wide to block out what little light there was.
In addition, the Evil being was trapped, surrounded by darkness, and facing a fearsome opponent that threatened to destroy it.
It knew that it would have to fight for its very survival or face a terrible fate at the hands of Mark and his corrosive power.
"H-Human...." His deep voice shook the cave as it stood up showing it was massive not to be outdone.
"How dare you...."
"Surrender or your life" Mark interrupted as his massive wings swayed back and forth.
Feeling the powerful wind coming from the wings, the evil being gasped slightly as his heart skipped a beat. It swallowed the liquid in his throat and subdued the slight fear in his mind and stroll forward domineering.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" He answered as his body began to change, going into battle mode.
"Human you think I am one of the puny beings of this world but I'll open your eyes...." A black spear appeared in his hand; the tip of the spear glowed in purple.
"Die!"
Meanwhile, Mack watches as the evil being rushed toward him without any expression on his face. Every step from the massive being shook the land vehemently, sending tremors outside the mountain.
Screech!
Outside the mountain was surrounded by black massive tall trees. Thousands of evil beings with horns and cow tails lay at the foot of the trees and cried in horror.
They looked in the direction of their king and wondered what was happening.
Boom! Boom!
"P-p-p-lease....."
A massive silhouette was sent flying off the cave, crashing into a forest of black trees and falling on his underling, killing them all at once.
Whoosh!
Out of the mountain, a wisp of dark clouds came out in the form of a bat. And at once, the surrounding area was corroded and Mark materialized.
"Do you want to continue..." Mark asked coldly. "But this time around you have to pay with your life. Choose."
'Huh!'
The Evil being looked at his flaying gray skin with deep fear written all over his face. He knew how sturdy his defense was but to this human, it was nothing but a mere paper.
They came to this world to dominate and plunder their resources back to their world. Previously, he believed this would be an easy mission since this world was weaker than their world.
However, since they stepped into this world, things have not been going according to their plan. He was previously trying to regain some of his strength while planning how to conquer the world when Mark appeared out of the blue and was beaten blue-black.
He wanted to cry but there were no tears in his eyes.
'When did these weak humans turn ruthless?!' He cried in his mind.
Hence, he put the heart-wrenching thought at the back of his mind and struggled to stand on his feet, not caring about the destruction of his underling.
"I-I s-surrender...." He muttered in a low voice.
"Good." Mark nodded as he looked in a certain direction. 'Justin, Susan. You just wait for my wrath.'
"Take your men and follow me." He said and flew in another direction.
****
A girl lying on the forest floor was delicate, almost like a porcelain figurine. Her long, flowing white hair was spread out around her, and she wore an overflowing white garment that seemed to blend in with the lush green surroundings.
In her hand, she clutched a gray wand tightly, as if seeking comfort and protection from its touch.
As she awakened from her nightmare, confusion clouds her features. Her chest rises and falls rapidly as she takes in her surroundings, trying to orient herself.
In addition, the forest seems to stretch out endlessly in every direction, but it's not the scenery that was causing her distress.
Her eyes were haunted, and it was clear that something had frightened her deeply.
Taking deep breaths, she slowly regains her composure. She sat up, brushing off the leaves and twigs that clung to her garments, and tucks the wand into a pocket.
Despite the fear that still lingered in her eyes, she stood tall and strong, as if determined to overcome whatever terrors she had faced.
This was Eira, a girl who may be delicate in appearance, but who possesses a strength and resilience that belies her fragile exterior.
The inheritor of the light seed. The 'Verdant Star'
The verdant lives in the heart of the purer human, nourished by her pure deeds and compassion. The Verdant Star took years to mature and thus. It was passed from one generation to the other.
Therefore, as the years pass by, the Eire ancestor has long forgotten about the ancient power they carried in their heart. However, everything changed when the apocalypse descended to earth and the 'Verdant Star' woke from its slumber.
Though it was awake, there was still time before it matured. Eire knew but the constant nightmare she had been having for the past couple of days frightened her to the core.
"Goddess...." An aged voice came from Eire's back.
"We need to leave at once." Her voice was filled with urgency.
"Why?"
"Evil eyes are on us."
Eternal life.
