Chapter 1906 Chichichichichichichi
Ryu didn''t believe it was possible for him to be any angrier at the moment. The only reason he hadn''t truly exploded was that he knew this was a projection and not the real Nemesis. It was why he had attacked it without hesitation, and it was also the only reason he hadn''t completely lost his mind.
Still, the raging inferno in his heart burned with a ferocity that flickered in the depths of his eyes with a smoldering red-black flame. Dragon and Qilin scales flickered into and out of existence on his body, his veins bulging and pulsing with a torrent of booming might. V/\Issi?T for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
As Silent Quibus ate Nemesis, a churning darkness and light began to rumble through Ryu''s body. The eight trigram diagrams rotating in his eyes only began to move faster and faster.
The sound of crunching came to a stop, and Silent Quibus looked up, blood drizzling down his chin. A fiendish grin filled with flesh and bone appeared, a ghastly tongue covered in rough bumps that almost looked like mutated dragon scales slithered out, picking at what was caught between his teeth.
By this point, he had completely lost any sort of humanity he had in him. Or maybe he never had any humanity to speak of and was simply good at faking what he could remember.
However, whatever the case was, it was only now that even Ryu''s own Dao could truly see through him, and what it saw would have horrified almost anyone else.
Silent Quibus stood there, blood still dribbling down his chin as though he was a baby in need of a bib. And yet, the shadow that grew behind him was shocking enough to pull on anyone''s soul.
It was an amorphous creature of the shadows with countless faces coming out of it. Each one screamed like a caged animal, wanting to pry itself free, but Silent Quibus'' strength was too great.
At that moment, there was a sudden enlightenment that came over Ryu, and he heard Silent Quibus'' Dao Title for the first time.
''Silent Quibus...'' Quibus, taken in the sense of most immediate control over death, and Silent not just referring to a lack of sound, but the restraint of it.
What remained of Nemesis finally collapsed to the ground. Even in a half-eaten state, with three-fourths of his neck gone and his intestines spilling out of his belly, he had wanted to stand defiantly until his last breath.
Unfortunately, he hadn''t been able to.
The Wrath Knight steed looked up with red marble eyes that pierced Ryu''s soul. It was like he wanted to stare down his enemy in those last moments, and he had not the slightest hint of ire toward Silent Quibus himself, as though he was a master worth following.
It was when their gazes met in that moment that a hint of confusion flickered in the horse''s eyes. It looked at Ryu as though it was trying to recall something, but that loss of his edge caused what remained of his life to blink out.
Nemesis collapsed entirely, dead.
Ryu watched this silently, still not saying a single word to Silent Quibus.
"Chichichichichichichi. I will shred you apart piece by piece. An arrogant brat like yourself... I really want to know what kind of expression you''ll have when it finally falls apart. You all tend to make the strongest Corpse Poison."
There was still no response.
"Chichichi, nothing to say? That''s not too bad. How about I let you pick? No, actually, there''s something I''ve always been meaning to try. I''ve been quite sexist in my life, don''t you think? I wonder if it would break a man even more than it would a woman if they were pinned down and violated. What do you think?"
One of the screaming shadows behind Silent Quibus manifested and grew into a man that was a meter taller than even the Quibus.
An unsightly but strangely large bit of rotting flesh swung between this zombie''s legs, and under Silent Quibus'' control, it began to engorge until it stood tall.
"How many people do you think are watching right now? Would you still have any pride left after this? Chichichichichichichi."
