Sowhere East of Grand Ancestral Plane, a showdown amongst beast was happening.
On one side, there is a pack of large hyenas drooling over a prey. Each hyena weighs at least 500 kilograms and stood for about 10 ters in height. The leader of the pack was the largest, it was 20 ters tall and weighs 1000 kilograms. There's at least 30 hyenas in total, which makes up for a terrifying force that should be avoided at all costs.
On the other side, was just a lone Albino Snake. The snake was at least 100 ters long and has a girth of 50 ters. The scales on its body shone with luster specially under the influence of sunlight. The top part of her scales were dyed with a hint of a crimson color, making her a bit more unique compared to a regular Albino Snakes.
At a glance, this is an unfair battle. One snake versus 30 hyenas. The defeat of the snake was almost certain since their numbers would just overwhelm her. But even if that was the case, the snake didn't show any signs of fear nor had any desire to retreat.
*Hiss!*
On the contrary, the snake issued a challenging hiss at the drooling hyenas. Its provocation was effective and at least five hyenas ca charging towards the snake's direction.
*Woosh!*
As soon as the hyenas entered a specific distance, the snake moved and its large body disappeared from sight. Its movents were too fast for its size, and before the rest of the hyenas realized that the snake disappeared, it reappeared once again but this ti with a bulging stomach which inflated as soon as paid attention to it.
These hyenas didn't have a high intelligence but it didn't take them long enough to realize what just happened. The five hyenas that ca towards her were eaten and digested in a blink of an eye. This is obvious by how the snake's mouth was covered in blood.
*Hiss!*
The snake once again issued a challenge towards the hyenas, and just like before a portion of the pack ca running towards it. There was no suspense about what happened next, what happened with the earlier group happened to the next one as well. This snake just devoured half of their pack and sothing tells them that she still has room on her stomach for more.
The pack started to get nervous. It didn't take them long enough to realize that this snake is a more ferocious predator compared to them.
It was then that the Leader finally stepped forward and issued a groan. With him leading the pack, he order everyone to charge at the snake, of course the Leader was included as well. And compared to the rest of the pack, the Leader was stronger and faster as well.
Unfortunately, it wasn't as fast as the snake. Who would've thought that the snake was holding back all along?
*Whoosh!*
In one fell swoop, aside from the leader, everyone was devoured. Even the Leader itself couldn't follow the snake's movents at all. All the leader saw was a beam of white light blitzing around it and once it was over, the whole pack was gone.
Now, the battle was a one versus one. This should've been a fair battle but alas, the Leader knew that it wasn't. Their numbers didn't matter at all, none of them even managed to lay a finger on the snake. The Leader now realized that it was completely outclassed by a beast that should've been weaker according to the strength charts.
Fear gripped the Leader's heart. It wanted to run and survive, but of course that was impossible. The snake was much faster compared to it. And while the Hyena Leader was thinking of ways to survive, it failed to realize that the snake already made a move.
When the realization hit, it found itself looking at the vertical pupils of the snake. The leader couldn't feel its body anymore, it couldn't even look at its own body even if it wanted to since there was body to be found anymore.
The snake already devoured it when it was still hesitating, what remained is just a head and the fleeting consciousness of the leader which was still wondering what happened. And just as the leader finally realized that it was eaten, it started to panic, even then it was too late already.
The snake opened its maws slowly, making sure to allow the leader to witness and realized where it will end up. The snake then took the head of the leader on its mouth and swallowed. Its stomach bulged once again but it deflated in a blink of an eye.
The snake then road its vision around the periter, looking around to see if it missed a target. After noticing that there was no targets to eaten anymore, it flicked its tongue and started slithering towards a certain spot not too far from the lair of the hyenas.
It stopped in front of a coconut tree, then it began climbing towards the top. As soon as it got there, the snake saw a human sitting cross-legged while chewing on so coconut at. The snake released so joyous hisses as it went closer to the human.
"Yes, I saw it. You did very well. You can now take down a small lair all on your own. I'm proud of you." The human smiled and caressed the snake's head with affection.
The snake closed its eyes as it felt the hands of the human. It then hissed at him, as if it was telling him sothing. The human nodded and said:
"Yes, I know you want to sleep. Do your thing then."
After saying this the snake suddenly shrank in size and wrapped itself on the human's neck. It then transford into a long white scarf that was now worn by the human.
Of course, these are none other than Venus and Raven.
Slicing another coconut open using his bare hands, Raven drank its juice and stared eating its flesh slowly while he gaze at the east.
"Should be happening in a few monts…" He murmured as he kept watching.
It has been six months since he began travelling towards the east. He managed to arrive a week early before the ergence of the Sun Temple and had been camping near the area so that he could enter it as soon as he could.
The mont he's been waiting for is nearly there. Today is the 9th day of the 9th month, and in just a few minutes, the 9th hour will arrive.
Raven's ocular technique is active, allowing him to survey everything around 5 kiloter radius. He might appear relaxed right now but that's just because he's in deep ditation. If he wasn't in this state, he might've not been able to sit still due to impatience.
'Relax.' He told himself, 'There's still one more place to go after this. After that, I'll be able to go ho. Calm down.'
As he was calming himself down, he noticed that the temperature around him was rising at a noticeable rate. His face then beca serious but he didn't move from his spot.
His vision the caught so activity. Just at the edge of his surveying vision, a small plu of fla appeared. His focus was fixed on this fla since it literally appeared out no where.
As ti went on, the fla grew bigger and bigger. From a small plu, it turned into a raging wildfire that burned all vegetation around. As black smoke rose up to the skies, Raven remained seated on his position, unfazed by the growing fire and rising temperature around him.
Suddenly, a surprising developnt happened to the flas. It started gathering in one spot, forming a large orb that looks just like a smaller sun.
The flas then began to turn slightly transparent, revealing so kind of establishnt that's being hidden by the flas.
A large temple, bearing a huge sun sigil, standing a couple hundred ters tall, could be seen through the flas.
The bright flas danced and ford a minuscule tornado around the temple. Raven took a deep breath and stood up from his location. He hopped off of the tree and started approaching the fire tornado.
As he approached it, the temperature around him was constantly rising, however this temperature was still a little bit weak to illicit so kind of reaction from Raven. He wasn't sweating nor having a hard ti breathing. He was calm and unperturbed as he walked at a asured pace towards the tornado.
As he got closer, the fire tornado beca increasingly violent. Almost as if it was being provoked by Raven's calm approach. A few wisps of fla flew towards Raven but it wasn't able to do anything to him thanks to his Chaos Force Barrier.
A few steps away from the eye of the fire tornado, Raven stopped. He then began counting down inside his mind.
'5, 4, 3, 2, 1!'
*Woosh!*
And there it is.
The fire tornado was gone as soon as his countdown ended.. Leaving a majestic Sun Temple for him to explore.
