The moment I closed my eyes, the pain mysteriously vanished. Feeling surprised, I slowly opened my eyes.
What I saw before myself surprised me.
I was greeted by the immense spectacle laid out before my eyes –no, below me –and spat out a shocked gasp in my mind.
Oh, my god...
An army consisting solely of innumerable monsters stretched far beyond the scope of vision below me.
From where I was, all the way to beyond the horizon. Countless monsters completely covered up the ground until there was no uncovered patch left.
In all honesty, that was one hell of a terrifying sight to behold. Just from seeing this, I felt my innards tighten.
Hold on... Where is this place, anyway?
This was a completely foreign landscape that I had never seen before. My eyes could catch the sight of the reddish-brown ground, those strange rocks formations, and then, the great army of monsters standing on top of the said ground.
This disparate gathering of monsters that ignored their ranks and species were busy looking up and waiting for something to happen.
What are they all looking at?
I followed after their gazes and raised my head to the sky above. And then... I discovered it.
Six figures were levitating in the air. Their presence radiated power and dominance. If I didn't see them with my own eyes I would have never believed such existences ever existed.
It was truly a spectacular sight.
But it was then I noticed, that the monsters were gripping their weapons so hard, in fact, their hands were beginning to tremble noticeably, too. On top of that, the emotions filling up the faces of Six levitating figures were as far from the ones of compassion as you could get. No, they were definitely filled with terror.
Woah! What kind of enemy are they facing that even after having such majestic and powerful people on their side, they are still unsure of their victory?
Their collective gazes were focused in a certain direction. And that was somewhere behind me.
A powerful chill ran down my spine immediately. I slowly, agonisingly slowly, turned my head around to take a look.
I was considering the possibility of there being an army just as large, if not larger than the one in front of me. However, the moment I turned around I faced a huge wall.
No, it wasn't just a wall, in exactly middle of the wall there existed a throne and on which sat a being that, even though looked like a human, can't be called one.
Just by being in front of this being subjected me to an incredible pressure that was heavy enough to strangle me. His aura gave a weird feeling. A feeling that he was supreme. That he was absolute and omniscient.
Every single gaze within this battlefield was now looking at only this Supreme Being.
However, it looked like he paid no mind to it. On the contrary, it looked more like he was bored out of his mind while watching the scene unfolding before him.
The Supreme Being glared at the Six figures of the sky, before extending his hand out as if he wanted to grasp something.
Flinch.
As if realizing his intent, I could now see the sight of the Six figures flinch and start to back away in fear. The intolerable stillness that stifled one's breaths pressed down on the shoulders of every single person present here.
And soon...
The Supreme Being's solemn voice shattered that stillness.
「Teelamee' Dohsomeela」
Ba-thump.Ba-thump. Ba-thump.Ba-thump. Ba-thump.Ba-thump. Ba-thump.Ba-thump. Ba-thump.Ba-thump.
My heartbeat got louder and faster just then.
I heard the cries of monsters behind me as soon as he said those words and waved his hand in a downwards motion.
I quickly turned around and saw the horrifying scene that appeared before me.
From this corner of the land, all the way to the other side –the corpses of numerous dead monsters had piled up in the blink of an eye.
Ba-thump!!Ba-thump!! Ba-thump!!Ba-thump!! Ba-thump!!Ba-thump!! Ba-thump!!Ba-thump!!
My heart started to loudly beat again.
If this scene was supposed to demonstrate the true pinnacle of his power, then it certainly succeeded in letting me know just how much of a difference was there between us.
Eventually, the Six figures stopped hesitating and began moving again. Explosions rang out constantly, and the ground quaked over and over again. The battle that should have ended as a one-sided massacre reverted to full-on warfare.
Just a single individual had changed everything. Now that was the display of truly shocking power. I didn't know why this scene was being shown to me, but I found himself unable to tear my eyes away from it.
The violent, fierce clash continued.
In an unknown instant... I felt the intolerable pain from before was slowly returning.
