Chapter 422 Completing the Mission
"This guy's a real psycho," I muttered to myself as I observed everything from above.
Miyoshi's actions, driven by his loyalty to me, had taken a disturbing turn. Despite my lack of intervention in his personality, he twisted himself further, seeing it as a demonstration of his devotion to me.
I had encountered various reactions to my Oath, ranging from loyalty to fear, but his interpretation was undoubtedly the most twisted.
Even Zhang, who had shown unwavering dedication, paled in comparison to this level of fervor for serving me.
Well, it wasn't really a big problem for me.
I had intended to prank everyone before I showed myself, but Miyoshi's cult-like behavior proved to be more than sufficient.
With that settled, I decided to make my entrance. It would be rather dull to just show up normally after his exaggerated declaration, so I decided for a more memorable approach.
'It's show time,' I chuckled to myself.
My inner cosplaying/otaku spirit surged within me, fueled by the dramatic setting. This was my moment to embody the role of a true hidden boss.
Suddenly, on the stage, tiny specks of silver dust started swirling in the air. Slowly, they began to gather together, forming a shape.
As more dust joined in, the shape grew bigger and bigger. It took the form of a gate, gradually solidifying until it stood fifteen feet tall. The gate now loomed over the stage, casting a long shadow in the dim light.
Crafted from gleaming metals, the gate stood tall and imposing, its surface adorned with intricate human engravings.
As if alive, the engravings depicted countless human figures in motion, desperately trying to escape their metallic confines.
Their twisted and contorted expressions conveyed their anguish as they struggled against their metallic restraints. Some appeared to be reaching out in despair, while others bore expressions of pain and fear, their features etched with lines of suffering.
Although no sounds emanated from the gate, the sheer horror etched on their faces was enough to trigger the imagination of everyone.
As they stared, wide-eyed and trembling, their minds conjured up non-existing cries of agony and despair, echoing through the hall like haunting whispers.
The faces of all the clan leaders paled as they stared at the imposing gate before them.
They could feel the presence of someone immensely powerful, someone who defied the boundaries of humanity.
It was a chilling realization that shook them to their core, leaving them with a deep sense of unease and apprehension.
CLING!
As the gate slowly swung open, a dense, swirling black mist poured out from inside, filling the hall with an eerie haze.
The mist twisted and curled around the gate, enhancing its imposing appearance and giving it an ominous aura.
Gasps filled the room as everyone waited anxiously for something to come out of the dark vortex.
They had no idea what they'd see, but one thing was clear: it would be a being far stronger than they could imagine.
"What is that thing?" muttered one of the clan leaders, his voice barely audible above the murmurs of the crowd.
From within the shadows, my figure emerged, shrouded in an aura of power.
Adorned in a black robe with golden patterns, my villainous visage made everyone felt threatened just by my looks alone.
Six pairs of black wings also spread from my back, creating a dark silhouette in the dim light. The threatening vibe I emitted silenced the room instantly.
STEP!
STEP!
STEP!
With each step forward, tension filled the air, causing unease among those present.
My footsteps reverberated like ominous drumbeats, amplifying the sense of foreboding in the room.
Reaching the center of the hall, I cast a commanding gaze over the assembled leaders. Find adventures at empire
"Miyoshi," I stated firmly, my voice carrying authority, "This people are sinners.."
Everyone listened anxiously as I continued, my words holding power. "But there is still hope for redemption."
With a simple gesture, the gate vanished, leaving a lingering sense of its presence.
"I won't force you to follow me because I'm fair person," I declared calmly.
Everyone regarded me with suspicion after my statement, seemingly becoming more vigilant at the mention of my fairness.
"Is that true?" One of the clan leaders from a lower-ranked family spoke up, his voice trembling with fear.
"I'm a man of my word. I won't force you to follow me," I declared again, accompanied by a warm smile.
"Then I want to leave," He replied.
"Alright, I'll help you out," I smiled at him, showcasing my generosity.

His body was torn apart from the inside, blood and flesh spraying in all directions.
But, instead of his mangled corpse staining the floor, his remains condensed into a small, compact ball and began to float upwards, defying gravity.
"I'll help you leave this place permanently," I added with a wide, sinister grin, my eyes glinting with malice as I watched the horrified expressions of the other clan leaders.
Their faces frozen in expressions of shock and disbelief as they witnessed the gruesome spectacle unfolding before their eyes.
Some turned their heads away, unable to bear the sight, while others stared on in mute horror, their minds struggling to process the sheer brutality of the scene.
But despite their instincts urging them to flee or intervene, their bodies remained paralyzed, held in place by my overwhelming ability.
Before me, they were all insignificant.
"You monster!" one cried out, his voice trembling with rage. "How dare you commit such an atrocity. I…. !"
B00OOM!
Another explosion rocked the room as the idiot who dare to call me a monster met the same fate.
The hall fell silent again, save for the pounding of hearts of everyone.
I glanced at the horrified faces of the remaining clan leaders, their shock evident. I had made it clear that their lives were in my hands, weakening their resolve and making them susceptible to my manipulation.
"Now, it's time to submit to me," I declared as I approached them, ready to exert my influence with my abilities.
