Nightmare’s Call - Chapter 460

Chapter 460: Pursuit: Part 2

The Centaur Lord turned toward the sound, and his iris suddenly shrank.

He saw a red-haired woman standing quietly behind both the black and mermaid giant.

She was leaning against one of the pillars in the hall, as she watched him silently. There were no weapons in her hands, yet the palm of her hand seemed to be holding onto something.

Even when she had nothing in her hand, she still gave out the feeling that she was wielding a sharp blade in her hand.

“Sensing my will means sensing fear and tremble. This is the will of the sword.” The Centaur Lord stared at the red-haired woman as he saw her slowly raising her hand up gently, before cutting down in a slashing motion.

Immediately afterward, he saw a bloody crack appearing on the right shoulder of the black giant king.

*Spurrttt!!!*

A gush of blood spewed out and landed on the ground.

“So… it was not time had stopped… rather… it was use…” The black giant king crashed as it looked on fearfully while kneeling on the ground.

“That’s because all of you are too weak,” the red-haired woman said flatly.

*Baammm!!*

Suddenly, the palace gate was pushed open.

As a muscular figure in white heavy armor strode through the door without even looking at the two giant kings or the Centaur Lord.

Rather, he simply just passed through them, and walked straight to the giant’s throne before turning around and sat on it.

The oversized throne was obviously a mismatch to his size, but at this moment, the figure sitting on the throne gave out a pressure that was beyond words.

“I shall only give you one chance.

“Submit, or die,” the figure on the throne spoke impassively.

“This palace is built upon the highest peak of this Darkspirit Realm, the top of Mount Shakremont. All around it is ice and snow, and the location is very good. This could be requisitioned for our use.” The red-haired woman laughed.

“And what’s the use of keeping these two pieces of rubbish alive. They are useless regardless, might as well just off them and be done with it.” The black giant and the mermaid giant became furious as they heard that, as they tried to break free from that bizarre freezing power.

“Imp… Impossible!!… You want me to submit?!! Do not insult me!!! I am the Giant King Bjorhanrla!!” The black giant’s muscles rapidly expanded as he roared in fury.

Countless black smoke-like threads started to grow from his black fist.

All of the threads wrapped around his fist quickly and formed into a black metal gauntlet.

“Aaaahhhhh!!!” With a fist, he broke free from the shackles of Tenko Kasumi’s sword as he turned around and charged toward Kasumi behind him.

His massive fist shot out like a missile, before suddenly hovering barely half a meter away from Kasumi’s face.

*Huff!*

A gust of wind sent Kasumi’s hair dancing wildly, yet the fist could not advance any further.

“Very well. Now you’ve proven that you are not rubbish.” A shred of appreciation appeared in Kasumi’s eyes.

“To be able to break out of my sword will shackle, you must be something! I recognize your martial prowess!”

The black giant opened its mouth, yet it could not make any sound.

At that range, it was deprived even of its right to roar out in fury.

“Can you feel it?” A menacing grin appeared on Kasumi’s face.

“This is my sword domain, Voiceless Silence.”

She stretched her slender index finger out and gently touched the black giant’s forehead.

“Your blood…

“It’s too noisy.”

*Hisss… Hiss…*

With the pointing of her finger, the blood flow within the black giant’s body started to rapidly slow down, growing slower and slower.

In less than ten seconds, his blood had been forced from a boiling state to a state of stagnation.

“Do you know what will never ever make a sound?”

Tenko Kasumi’s finger expanded into a palm as she gently touched the black giant’s face.

“Only death is without a sound.”

“Enough, Tenko Kasumi.”

The male voice from the throne rang out coldly.

Tenko Kasumi smiled as she took a step back.

“I’m just joking with him no? He was the one that tore my dear little Fairy King’s arm off. I just wanted to teach him a little lesson.”

“The Fairy King’s arm can be reattached. Pay it no mind,” Lin Sheng calmly said from above.

“Alright, as you say, Divine Emperor.”

Tenko Kasumi smiled as she backed away, as the terrifying and repressive pressure faded away as she stepped back.

All of the frozen sounds once again returned to the surroundings.

The black giant fell onto the ground, even when barely any time had passed.

However, that short moment was enough to make it completely lose its fighting power.

All of the blood in his body had been forcibly stagnated, resulting in many parts of his body suffering unspeakable maladies.

Lin Sheng sat on the throne of the giants, looking down below.

The two giant kings froze as they were intimidated by Tenko Kasumi. And all around them was a similarly intimidated crowd. All of those who were able to come in here from the desolate environment outside, meant that all those present here were all living beings or Darkspirits of a certain caliber.

That was the reason Lin Sheng wanted to give the twin giant kings a chance. He needed more troops, and more strong people under his banner to conquer more Darkspirit Realms.

“Big brother!” The mermaid giant looked at the black giant in despair and fell into a state of worry and anger.

His elder brother’s ability to break free from the shackles of the sword’s will did not mean that he could do the same.

The mermaid giant struggled frantically as he tried to break free from the invisible shackles that bound him.

But his actual strength was far weaker than his elder brother’s.

If the black giant’s strength was equivalent to the top-level Palatinates, almost at the level of the Palatinates from the Three Hidden Realms, then his was merely a commoner-level Palatinate.

A commoner-level Palatinate, only learn through self-study and were completely incomparable to the Hidden Realms Palatinates from the academies.

Whether it was power or his natural aura, this was the level the mermaid giant was. The weakest level of the Palatinates.

If it weren’t for his elder brother, Lin Sheng would have not bothered trying to recruit a weakling like that mermaid giant.

The mermaid giant’s struggle and painful roars created a vaguely tragic atmosphere in the hall.

“Tenko Kasumi, lift it,” Lin Sheng commanded coldly.

*Hah.*

Instantly, the crushing pressure on top of the giant kings disappeared.

The two giants first shuddered before jumping up at the same time and rushed toward the palace gate.

While in the air, the black giant turned around and blasted out a backhanded strike toward Lin Sheng.

That strike was extremely heavy, and the moment he lashed out, the air howled as a tidal wave-like distortion blasted out from the fist toward Lin Sheng.

The distortion was a shock wave created by the pure force of strength.

On the surface, it looked like a natural shock wave from the punch.

In actuality, it was a full-force attack using every ounce of the black giant’s training.

If anyone was to see that distortion as an ordinary aftershock, that meant the person was dead meat.

Lin Sheng watched as the distorted shockwave flew at it.

He held his hand out to stop Tenko Kasumi from intercepting the attack, and instead stretched his left hand out before him.

The stretched out palm was blocking the distorted shockwave head-on.
