The mont that figure appeared, a strange chill rose. It wasn't a physical drop in temperature, but a coldness seeping from the depths of their souls. Faint cracking sounds erged as eerie, grayish-white frost flowers began to re-condense on the lted land, each one twisted into grotesque shapes.
A battle-hardened Silvermane Guard tried to raise his spear, but his arm trembled violently, the weapon feeling as heavy as a mountain. Not just him, but all the Guards were in the sa predicant. Gepard could barely remain standing. Seele, usually as swift as the wind, couldn't even stand properly. The space seed to have turned into solidified amber, and they were the insects sealed within.
"…Who's that guy in the suit?" Stelle stood beside Orion, gripping her baseball bat, her condition much better than the others.
The figure began to walk towards them, his steps unhurried, making no sound. But with every step, the invisible pressure grew exponentially. When he reached a spot less than 20 ters away, he stopped and, as if out of so courtesy, bowed slightly. A gloved hand rose to his top hat.
"Orion…" he said with a casual languor. "I've been watching you for a long ti. Nice to et you for the first ti."
Saying that, he elegantly removed his hat. At this mont, everyone saw the "true face" beneath the brim.
No head. No facial features. Where a neck should be, there was a strange purple hand, open upwards. And above its palm, a polyhedral die slowly rotated.
"Mon… monster!" a Guard blurted out.
Orion imdiately raised his black sword. "Don't try to be familiar. Emanator of Destruction, what are you doing here?"
"Heh heh… so I've been seen through." The purple arm swayed, and the die's rotation seed to speed up. He pressed his top hat to his chest. "Then that saves the trouble of a self-introduction. My na is—Asat Pramad."
"Asat Pramad?" Stelle looked at him in surprise. "Wait, that na… is it the Lord Ravager, Asat Pramad? No way, aren't I in the Novice Village… why are even Emanators here?!"
An enemy several tis more terrifying than five Doomsday Beasts combined… Bronya felt a strange sense of despair.
Orion's heart rippled, but he wasn't surprised.
Asat Pramad chuckled. "It's alright if you don't know now... You'll get familiar with later." He paused, his voice suddenly becoming fanatical. "But now, please accept the welcoming gift I've prepared for you—Let the wails of this planet… crown your destruction!"
The mont his words fell, his purple hand tossed the die upwards! It spun wildly, paused, then fell back into his palm. All the symbols on its faces extinguished, save for one that lit up with a dazzling green—the symbol representing the Path of The Hunt!
The next mont, Asat Pramad's figure was dramatically reshaped amidst a blinding flash of lightning! His white suit transford into majestic golden armor. Where his head had been empty, a handso and authoritative face appeared. A long-handled polearm, wreathed in endless lightning, materialized in his hand.
Orion's heart skipped a beat. This is… Jing Yuan?! The Cloud Knight General of the Xianzhou Luofu, the Emanator of The Hunt! But no… this was clearly not the real Jing Yuan.
"Oh? The first roll is the Emanator of The Hunt? Not bad luck." 'Jing Yuan' chuckled, and the polearm erupted with lightning powerful enough to tear the sky apart. That was truly, genuinely, the supre power originating from The Hunt!
The next instant, his figure vanished, leaving only lightning marks in the space.
Orion reacted imdiately. Almost instinctively, he held the black sword horizontally across his chest.
BOOM—!!!
Purple lightning and black energy collided, erupting with a deafening roar that silenced heaven and earth. The terrifying shockwave transford into a visible circular blast, sweeping away all ice and land within a kiloter!
Orion was blown a hundred ters away, crashing into an ice cliff. He suppressed his churning blood, his arms numb, the webbing between his thumb and forefinger split. He looked in surprise at the figure bathed in lightning, his mind in turmoil.
What kind of ability is that? It's even stronger than the real Jing Yuan I saw in the simulation!
