The malicious roars of Yael roused the rest of the people who were participating at the ritual. So people directly stood up and took out their weapons while others hesitated.
"Lord, what about the ritual?"
"I'll take care of it! Ruin that brat for , now!"
Yael's furious roars reverberated through every corner of the room, the rest had no other choice and could only follow his instructions.
Raven indifferently watched as this scene unfold, to him he any intimidation that Yael does had no effect. He focused on the people who were charging towards him, a thick killing intent erged from his body as he picked up his hamr.
He twisted his body as he brought down the hunk of tal, as the hamr hit the ground, the scene that happened earlier occurred once again but seeing the similar move from last ti, his enemies knew what's going to happen so they halted and hurriedly defended themselves.
Concrete boulders rose up and flew everywhere, most of the assailants were successful in defending but they didn't co out unscathed. The impact from Raven's attack truly shocked them, they couldn't wrap the idea around their heads that such an attack ca from a little soldier boy.
Along with his attack, a cloud of dust rose which montarily obscured their vision. They spread their sense out only to find out that Raven was long since gone from his original position. He used the low-visibility to move fast and arrive at the center of their numbers.
"Die."
His cold tone reverberated from their ears, everyone turned their heads only to see that Raven had already wounded up another attack.
His body spun along with the hamr, at least several people were caught unprepared and received the full powered swings from him. Bones of their body cracked, blood vessels were ruptured and so heads even exploded. Raven's body beca soaked with blood and gore but instead of feeling disgusted, there was nothing but absolute coldness in his eyes.
Raven's assault didn't pause. With sheer ferocity, he went into an overdrive and madly swung the Archaic Thousand Arms Hamr at the people who were opposing him. It had to be said, none of these people were weak. Reaching at least Knight Stage in cultivation requires talent and perseverance, all of them could considered as experts in the kingdom once they reached this stage. Unfortunately, no matter how strong they were, they weren't Raven. He just accumulated far too much of an advantage compared to them, his training was never been compromised, partnered with his vast knowledge, these people could only serve as his stepping stone.
Seeing his subordinates being madly assaulted, Yael's face contorted. He wanted to personally step in and squash this bug in front of him but he couldn't, he had a ritual to finish, he couldn't afford to fail.
Just as when Raven was about to succeed in killing everyone around him, a sharp whistle was heard. Raven imdiately tilted his head to avoid the projectile and imdiately jumped back to inspect who sent that attack.
Raven's eyes narrowed, the new enemy showed himself. He imdiately realized that the chaos here might've alerted the guards that he passed through earlier. In particular, this new cor was the Silver Knight who was stationed back there earlier, following behind him were the rest of the guards.
Raven's expression turned somber. He's situation isn't good, though it might appear that he could overpower the Knights, in truth he was just relying on his sheer raw force to catch them by surprise. His energy expenditure was definitely not small, wielding the Archaic Thousand Arms Hamr is still a difficult task for him. He could actually feel that so ligants on his arms were ruptured by his unrefined and reckless attacks. He just chose to ignore it since it isn't a good idea to show weakness in front of one's enemies.
Seeing reinforcents co, Yael sighed in relief. Now that Silver Knight appeared, he was certain that Raven's life is already over. He could now whole-heartedly focus on the ritual. Yael closed his eyes and continued with the incantations, the ritual was nearly over. It won't be long so he had to endure.
anwhile, after Raven inspected the reinforcents. Raven moved his jaw and fished out a pill that was kept between his cheeks and gums using tongue. He placed the pill between his teeth and imdiately chewed it. He felt coldness down his throat, afterwards a he felt his mind entering a special state. He could feel his mood easily turning aggressive and fierce. His energy madly circulated inside his body, he felt his body going hot.
The pill he had consud just now is the Berserk Trigger Pill. This pill allowed him to enter a berserk state where he would be able to minimize the pain he felt while turning his aggression into a powerful weapon for a brief period of ti. When he prepared for the infiltration, he made sure to hide one pill on his mouth so that he doesn't have to go through the actions of taking it out from his spatial ring, using this thod also prevented enemies from interrupting when he wants to consu the pill.
Though he entered a berserk state, Raven didn't lose his sanity, on the contrary he was perfectly sane and aware of everything that's happening around him. After digesting the pill, he saw the Silver Knight wounding up another attack so he imdiately went after him.
With a mad swing of his hamr, Raven ruptured the ground once more. As dozens of boulders flew everywhere, it created mass chaos on the ranks of the reinforcents. The Silver Knight was fine but the guards behind him weren't. None were expecting that kind of might from a small brat, as a result many of them suffered from that attack. So were injured while so just outright died in the impact, so were still fine but beca extrely wary of Raven.
Nevertheless, Raven's onslaught was just starting. One mighty swing after another, the whole room shook and nearly collapsed from his attacks. Raven wasn't deliberately targeting the guards, his focus was at the Silver Knight since he posed the highest threat in his life. He had to take charge in order to control the rhythm of the battle.
It might looked like he was just recklessly swinging his hamr to all directions but every attack had a careful consideration. Raven didn't give any kind of breathing room the Silver Knight at all since he knew that if he did so then it would be his end.
This was precisely the reason why the Silver Knight had been grimacing all throughout the battle. He couldn't believe just how ferocious this brat was, if soone told him that he wasn't in Soldier Realm he would believe them. With how aggressive his was, the Silver Knight couldn't even bring out his full strength at all. He couldn't utilize the laws he learned nor his expertise in battle, whenever he tried taking control of the battle, Raven would imdiately beat him to it.
But both of them know that this situation wouldn't last long. Despite him having the advantage just now, Raven is still a Soldier Realm brat after all, there is no way he could outlast a Silver Knight in terms of energy consumption. This was also the ti that the Silver Knight was gunning for, that's why he chose to endure.
Raven's flurry of attacks continued so more, suddenly in the middle of his swing, Raven's grip beca unstable. He nearly lost grip of his hamr, he tried concealing this as much as he could but the Silver's Knight's eyesight is extrely impressive and managed to catch glimpse of this.
The Silver Knight's eyes glinted with sharp light, he thought that this brat finally couldn't continue anymore and showed an opening. A blue aura flashed and coated his soared, with a loud grunt the Silver Knight stabbed forward, aiming at Raven's neck.
But before the sword could hit him, a sneer could be seen in Raven's face. He leapt backwards and waved his hand, allowing a sharp needle to pierce the wind and land on the Silver Knight's neck without any obstruction.
The Silver Knight's eye widened as tried to take needle out from his throat, only to fail since the needle was successfully punctured a hole all the way back to his nape. He looked at the ridiculing expression on Raven's face and realized that he had been duped. Raven faked weakness in order to end the fight before he lost ground.
The Silver Knight tried to go on and suppress the injury by using so his energies to close the wound yet found every inch of his body painful. He then realized that he was poisoned, and the poison was incredibly potent as well. Not too long after his realization, he collapsed on the floor and couldn't even move a muscle.
Raven couldn't rest easy until he was sure that this guy was dead so he lifted his hamr and smashed the Silver Knight's head off. Only then he turned around and saw a surprising scene that caused alarm bells to go off in his head.
Yael finished the ritual.
