Chapter 343: An old ally (2)
’Eyes.’
That was what the two massive orbs, filled with lightning flashing through them, reminded Edward of. He was certain of his guess. But that increased the fear inside him.
The eyes were in the sky. He stood on the ground. Yet, they seemed larger than the hill they were on. It was hard to fathom the actual size of a creature, no being, with such large eyes.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE!"
The being in the sky demanded, unperturbed by the devastation His mere presence caused down below.
Edward groaned. He held his hands against his ears, trying to isolate the sound but the sound burned through his hands, prickling his auditory senses. He was forced to control his energy into his head, creating a film of protection. The pain remained but at last the film, thin as it may be, helped protect his ears from being destroyed.
Those who were a tad slow or inept in controlling their energies, laying on the ground, writhing and howling in pain as blood streamed from their charred ears.
Only the Divine Lord and his Field Marshall stood at ease. Their reaction differed though. Lightning appeared around the woman as she unfurled her wings whereas the Divine Lord stood without reacting even a little.
Is this how you receive guests? I heard you acted like this but to think even I didn’t get a proper welcome. You hurt me, old friend.
"FRIEND?!"
The air cracked under the weight of the shout coming from the sky. The being in the sky reacted with outrage at the claim of the Divine Lord. Lightning rained, blackening the dust and soil around them.
