Chapter 16: Inescapable Destruction
[: 3rd POV :]
The battlefield had changed.
What was once teeming with chaos, with war cries and monstrous roars, now stood in unnatural silence.
A stillness not born from peace, but from something deeper.
It was terror itself.
The few surviving Tyrant Ogres, creatures of brutality and savagery, were paralysed—not by wounds, but by something they had never once felt in their entire monstrous lives.
It was an emotion that they were unfamiliar with, and it was fear.
Their breaths were shallow,w and they refused to move a single step.
All of them hesitated and they looked towards one another, waiting for someone and somebody to take the lead.
Their massive frames that were capable of lifting boulders and smashing battalions were trembling.
At the same time, they couldn’t believe that the fear they felt was not from some old, living kind of monster, but a boy.
A single human standing calmly amidst the battle with his silvery long hair fluttering in the howling wind.
