Chapter 522 Groveling
Stifling silence hung in the air.
Everyone present, both the Dragons and Otherworlders could feel the palpable tension that spread itself through the expanse around them.
That single question, "... What did you say about Rey?" brought dread to the atmosphere, and all awaited the inevitable answer from the lips of the bloodied mess of a girl who stood amidst the torrents of wind.
Belle turned to look at Alicia's despairing face, and at that moment... all her rage-fueled strength began to sizzle out.
The pain in the eyes of the brunette resonated within her as well, and her tightly clenched jaws loosened to allow for tremors.
"He... h-he..." More tears began to flow down Belle's face.
They were hot and bitter, bountiful as they descended down her pretty eyes. Her weak body soon followed the trail of tears as she knelt on the same ground they struck.
"Rey is dead!" Belle cried out, her voice ascending as high as the heavens itself. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
As she let out the words, releasing all the pain and sorrow into the world that watched her, all of her allies watched in shock.
Adonis' eyes widened with disbelief. His countenance made it so obvious that he could not believe what he heard.
Devastated would not begin to begin to describe how he looked.
Lucielle and Brutus both had shocked and pained expressions on their respective faces. The news about the deaths of one of their wards was, as expected, bone-chilling.
It was fortunate that the other Otherworlders could not hear the horrid news. However, none of that mattered in the face of the one person that this revelation affected most.
—Alicia White herself.
As soon as she heard that Rey was dead, something in her heart snapped into two—like a feeble twig. Then, like a glass made of fickle glass, her mind broke into pieces.
"Rey... died...?"
With those mere words, serving as silent whispers, her face clouded up and her brilliant amber eyes darkened; almost like an eclipse had occurred.
Then, the tears came.
They overflowed, bursting out like a dam that had long passed its limits.
Alicia said no more. She simply knelt there, her tears saying all that went on within her fractured mind.
The only voice that could be heard in the tense, tragic scene was Belle's, as she raised her voice and cried at the top of her lungs.
—The Dragons!
"L-Lord Ob'elisk!" The voice of Kar'en rang out loud in a way that none of the humans had ever heard before.
Her tone was filled with only one thing.
... Pure reverence.
Who could blame her? For she was in the presence of one of the 9 Dragon Lords—The Dark Dragon Of The Black Mountain.
Before such an entity, who was she? Who was her subordinate?
They were but mere specks that could do nothing but bow their heads and grovel before his magnificence.
"L-Lord Ob'elisk...?!" The stupefied face that Ser'ith made was only due to his ignorance.
He had never laid eyes on the Dark Dragon Lord before, so he was a little shocked by the suddenness of his arrival.
Thankfully, his instincts had kicked in and forced his body to grovel before the mighty one before his mind even processed what was happening.
That very moment, the creatures known as invincible showed greater awe and reverence to a more supreme entity.
"Well, this is indeed an unexpected turn of events..." The Dragon Lord turned away from the weaker members of his race and finally returned his attention to the still humans who watched in absolute silence.
For a few seconds that seemed to last an eternity, Lord Ob'elisk watched them.
Then... he spoke.
"Which one among you killed that offspring of mine?"
