Chapter 305: Please
"Bow!!" With his shout, they all fell to the ground in his presence. Even Celestine bowed her head low.
Almost as if they had seen God himself.
"Right now, there is no stronger than me in this world!!" His gleeful shout filled the silent room.
"That was only true because I wasn't around." Yet, his body froze at the voice that came from nearby.
Vult sweated. Who was this man? How did he come behind him? Why didn't his body move? In an instant all his mana vanished in thin air, it was then that he noticed. Celestine and Kaguya, those two didn't bow to him. It was to the person standing behind him.
'I have to do something... I have to...' He felt a beast breathing down his neck, he didn't feel something like this even beyond that door.
"Move, you die. Speak, you die. Breath, you die. Think, you die." The voice explained in the calmness of the frigid air. Even if he wanted to move, he couldn't. His own body ignored his command, the eyes that bore into his back belonged to a predator and he had once again—even with all this power—ended up as prey.
'So it turned out like I thought it would.' Adam noticed the presence of the contract in Vult's body.
He had first felt it on his recent visit to Ai's world, that uncanny presence that lingered on the outskirts of the Universe. Asking the Administrator didn't get him anything. But, the words of her warning from his previous visit rang in his ears. Time had passed since then, but the thought didn't leave him.
