Chapter 224: The Homage

The area under the illusion barrier was completely dead silent as soon as everyone heard Loki's proclamation. The one thousand two hundred soldiers and all the seven heads of the hydra were left speechless.

Not a single soul present here would've imagined that the one to call out for the meeting was so daring to say that all the peak grandmaster people were his slaves.

"Pfftt!! Pfft…. Hahaha ha haha!"

"Ha ha.. You're good at making jokes, mister Loki."

"Funniest thing I've heard this decade. Haha"

Laughed off the heads and following them, all their forces followed. This indeed felt like a big joke to everyone present there.

But as soon as the echoes of the laughs subsided, the place of the meeting was filled with an extremely chaotic and deathly aura.

"Oye.. That was neither a funny nor humorous joke. We will let you retract your words and rephrase what you said." said the elven swordsman as he directed murderous intent at Loki.

"What's the meaning of this? What kind of bullshit are you spewing?!" asked Odin in an infuriated tone.

"My my.. Mister Loki seems to overestimate himself. Doesn't matter who his backer is.. We are not some weaklings that can be oppressed or commanded like someone's henchmen.

Even those Saints & the nobles think ten times before saying such nonsense. The power we combinely wield can rival the majority of factions and clans." said Violetta, the succubus.

"There was indeed a force who tried to control to control us because they had a second stage saint in their clan. Do you know what happened to the Saint & her clan?...

They're all buried in the ground now. So you better watch your mouth!" warned the tengu.

To all these deathly warnings and giving in to the oppressive aura, instead of dropping on the ground or cowering in fear, Loki replied with a coy smile.

"And why do you think I summoned all of you here? The best way to kill a snake is to cut its head. And I have all the heads present here."

"Enough from the clown! I'm putting a word out. 500 Thousand for this bastard dead, a million alive so I can teach him some manner first."

The human from the seven heads banged his fist on the table. Putting a bounty on Loki's head after he was thoroughly infuriated.

"Why so serious?"

Spoke Loki, still maintaining his complete cool as if he had no fear of death.

"Forget the money, he put my name and reputation in the mud! I'm killing him with my own hands!" shouted Odin and charged at Loki as soon as he got up from his seat.

"Such a shame.." said Loki and the very next instant, completely dark space filled the area around the round table.

All the other peak grandmasters felt like their bodies froze on the spot in a microsecond and they couldn't even move from the place.

This was exactly the ability used by Ajak, The Dark Summoner when he killed Kahn inside the 12th floor of Bromnir dungeon in Flavot city.

VOID REALM!

The spell created by using black magic, one of the strongest magical elements in the world was something that could instantly stop an enemy for 10 seconds as if the time itself was frozen.

Odin shuddered in fear as soon as he noticed the changes in his body. He quickly tried to burst his aura and break through the physical pressure on him. But forget using his aura, he couldn't even use move his eyes at this moment.

Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!

Four shadow blades, one of the abilities Ceril inherited after getting merged with the undead summoner were finally used after so many months.

The last time he used this ability was when they fought against the magma drake dungeon boss.

Two big holes were created in both Odin's shoulders and the other two in his thighs. Each hole was big enough to pass a man's arm right through them.

As soon as the 10 seconds passed, Odin's body dropped on the ground as a splatter of blood spread around the thrall.

"Impossible!! That's dark magic!" shouted the snakekin mage who was also a peak grandmaster mage.

All the other heads of the hydra felt an impending doom looming over their heads.

Loki was on the same level as them but none of them could even react or move a muscle after he used that ability as all of them were brought in a dark domain where they couldn't see or feel anything.

And as soon as the spell ended, Odin who was one of the strongest members of the hydra was lying on the ground, completely incapacitated.

"All you care about is money. This district deserves a better class of criminals. And I'm gonna give it to them.

Tell your men they work for me now. This is my turf." said Loki in a ghastly tone. As if he was a grim reaper giving the command to someone whose life he was about to take.

"They won't work for a freak." groaned Odin and spat blood out of his mouth.

"Freak?" asked Loki as he looked at Odin's two giant hounds, a black and white one who were charging at him from a distance as soon as they saw their owner injured and in a near-death situation on the ground.

Both of them were 2 meters in height, just like the pack of wolves that attacked Kahn as soon as he arrived in this world.

Loki cast two lightning spells and attacked both of the dogs in a second, killing them before they reached halfway.

But he didn't stop there either. He used the King of the Dead skills and quickly made both of the broken and charred dogs into his undead creatures.

"Grrrr…!" growled the white hound.

"Oh.. They say they're hungry." said Loki with a grin.

"Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches?

And then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog really is?!" spoke Loki in a sinister tone as a wide and creepy smile appeared on his face.

After he telepathically ordered the dogs, the hounds charged towards his direction again but this time, their target was not him but Odin, their master who fed and raised them from so many years.

Odin was a hand-to-hand brawler but after getting caught by surprise and having his limbs decommissioned… there wasn't anything the peak grandmaster could do at all.

Forget using any skills, he could barely use any mana in his body as if the shadow blades that Loki plunged him with were stopping his body to harness any of his strength.

"Arrhhhh!!" screamed Odin as his hounds started tearing his flesh and biting off his body as if they were starving for decades.

Meanwhile.. All the other 6 heads were still rooted on the spot, not daring to attack Loki lest they themselves suffer the same fate as him. At the end of the day, he wasn't their comrade but just an acquaintance they had to tolerate out of obligations.

Loki turned his head and ask with a creepy smile as Odin's wails filled with agony resounded in the surrounding.

"Now then…. Who's next?"

He asked others, sending a shiver in their spine.

"You.. You're mad!" shouted the elf as he took out his sword and took a defensive stance.

"Ha ha.." chuckled Loki and replied in a mischievous tone.

"See madness as you know… is like gravity.

All it takes is a little push!"

Replied Ceril and his deathly aura erupted from his body. Quickly putting immense pressure on everyone present here.

"He can't use that ability quickly again! It must have used a lot of his mana. All of us need to attack him now!" shouted the snakekin mage and all of them pulled out their weapons.

A swordsman, an archer, a mage, a whip user, an assassins and a Spearman. All the remaining heads of the hydra got into battle mode and gave each other an understanding gaze.

Swoosh! Swing! Crack!

All of them used their job-specific skills and attacked Loki who was now surrounded by the group of peak grandmasters.

BOOM!!

But before their attacks could even land on the mage, a dense dark barrier appeared in a second and covered Loki from all sides.

The huge explosion threw off Odin's now dead body far away and obliterated the hounds just with the shockwaves.

"This… what the hell is this guy?!" asked Violetta, the succubus as she took back her whip after sending a long waves of mana attacks at Loki.

The Darkness Barrier which was a skill that Kahn and his 300+ subordinates failed to break during the fight with the undead summoner all those months ago was now used by Ceril.

"Use light elemental attacks!" shouted the tengu, the archer of the group. All of them were experienced veterans so they knew what was the weakness of dark magic.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

Another groundshaking ripple filled the surroundings as multiple aura attacks infused with light elements bombarded and cracked open the darkness barrier in a couple of seconds.

But before Loki even got a chance to attack, his body was wound in a whip with lighting element, and his heart was plunged by an arrow.

Stab! Stab!

A sword and a spear stabbed his chest and stomach the very next second. Not even giving him a chance to retaliate.

"Get away!" shouted the tengu archer and a charged shot full of compressed wind element left his bow and burst open Loki's head.

The seemingly dangerous mage who killed one of them swiftly was killed in a matter of seconds after the impeccable and perfectly timed coordination of these six grandmasters.

Ceril, the Necromancer subordinate…

HAD DIED.
