Excelium II: Hunting Season

Kabanata 86

"You imbeciles!" all men were startled with the goddess' loud and clear shout. "Why did you let a small pesky rodent roam around inside my fortress?! Didn't I tell you to inspect and watch all the maids that has been retained?!"

"Yes, we deeply apologize, my lady," mabilis na saad ng mga ito at kaagad na lumuhod. They gulped as they stare at the carpeted floor. Cold sweats are running down their faces and necks. The goddess' immense pressure was too much for them to handle.

Shaera slammed her balled hand into the wall and their throats ran dry when they felt the entire palace shake with her simple action. The wall began to have cracks, starting from the spot where her tightly closed hand is. Fissures continued appearing, connecting from one to another as if it's just a mirror that is cracking slowly but effectively.

Nanatili sa ganoong posisyon ang babae. She clenched her teeth. She expected that the girl has some plan in mind but she didn't expect that she'll actually send someone in the opponent's territory. She's underestimating her.

She clenched her teeth but she reasoned out that her anger won't help her right now to try to subside her anger. Shaera's expression slowly eased up and relaxed. Bahagya nitong hiniwalay ang mga labi at marahan na bumuga ng hangin. Umayos ito ng tayo at tinanggal ang kamay mula sa dingding.

Walang nagtangkang kumilos mula sa kanilang pwesto. Nanatiling nakayuko ang mga ulo ng mga kawal at ng mga katulong na nasa gilid. Lahat ay pinagpapawisan ng malamig dahil sa biglaang pagtahimik ng babae. Bigla ring nagbago ang atmosperang pumapalibot sa kanila at mas lalo lamang lumamig ang paligid.

The side of Shaera's lips raised as she let out a chuckle, "It doesn't matter," the place began to quake once more as they hear the sounds of unstable rocks. The wall that she punched started to crumble down, showing the cloudy ambience that is covering the large capital. Shaera smirked, "We should just have some fun, right?"

She suddenly faced the whole capital, making her gown produce some ruffling sounds because of her sudden movement. Her eyes are wide with excitement as a grin appear along with her excited expression.

She raised both of her hands and she challengingly shout, "Come, you little brat!" her eyes got wider as her grin as well, "I'll show you what a God is!"

Nagsimula ng tumayo ang mga kawal na nagtatrabaho para sa babae ngunit muntikan na silang mawalan ng balanse noong muling yumanig ang buong paligid. But they noticed that it wasn't just the palace. It's the whole capital..!

Shaera laughed and her excited eyes stare down at the whole town, "You will all know my name!" the maids and men dropped on the floor when the quake got stronger causing for them to completely lose their balance. The grumbling sound only got louder. Shaera's excited grin didn't fade, "I am Shaera! You all shall fear me for I am your one and only God! That.. is your purpose!"

Fear. Desperation. Hopelessness. All intensified when they witnessed with their very eyes what a God can do. They were reminded that they are the beings who is higher than any one of them. A being that they have no rights to defy. A superior existence that can bring them death any second.

With just one simple sway of her hand, the whole capital sank.

Approximately ten minutes before the incident

"Oi kid--!" the man's eyes widen when the black haired boy jumped and turned his body midair. His eyes got wider and he let out a choking sound when the boy's foot hit the corner of his neck heavily. Claysen put all his weight on it and made it heavier. The man's head slammed on the ground in great speed.

Claysen's feet landed on the ground and he put his hand inside the pocket of his shorts. He clicked his tongue when he saw a dust on his black long sleeved shirt. Gamit ang kabilang kamay ay pinagpagan niya ito. Ang mag-ina na inaabuso kanina lamang ng lalaki ay hindi makapaniwalang nakatingin sa kaniya.
