Chapter 89 89. a game

Now, it didn't even dare to look at Aiden!

It could feel something within those flames.

Something dark and chaotic, a primordial grasp that hovered through its soul.

It was the shadow of a being beyond its comprehension.

'No! I can't stay here any longer,' thought the Serpent Emperor.

With that thought, its massive body coiled up and quickly tried to slither away, but the poor beast didn't get very far before a slightly mocking voice boomed in its ear.

"Now, now, where are you going?"

The body of the giant beast froze in fear.

It didn't know when, but that ominous flaming monster had now appeared in front of it, looking directly at it with a pair of purple mocking eyes so deep they shook its soul.

Just a second of eye contact made it shiver uncontrollably.

If it weren't for the fact that the temperature was so high, it really would have pissed itself on the spot.

Aiden looked at the beast. It was slithering against the floor, but due to its sheer size, even lying prone allowed it to completely tower over Aiden. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Realizing this, Aiden's face, which had an eerie smile, quickly morphed into a frown as he spoke.

"I don't like how you're looking down on me, you filthy beast. Lie down."

The request was really unreasonable.

It was already lying down on its stomach, so how could it get any lower?

Even Aiden himself knew this, but perhaps reason had never been Aiden's goal from the start.

Aiden stretched forth his hand, and the ominous flames gathered around the roof of the cavern, forming a giant purple burning hand.

The Weeping Soul Serpent Emperor didn't even get a chance to react.

The chorus of dazzling purple flames surged into the air, colliding to form a giant flaming palm that smashed the Serpent Emperor into the ground.

Boom!

The flaming hand seared the divine beast's scales as its massive body was forced several feet deeper into the ground.

Aiden looked at the giant Serpent that had now been pressed into the ground and nodded as he smiled.

"Much better."

The Weeping Soul Serpent Emperor didn't even dare complain and just looked at Aiden with pitiful, helpless eyes.

But how could Aiden show it any mercy?

Even the old Aiden would have been ruthless enough to crush this beast.

Much less this new Aiden that had found intense pleasure in slowly melting away countless living creatures.

This was only the start of his twisted game.

He just looked at the behemoth and smiled.

"Now we can speak properly. Let's play a game, shall we?

You had quite some fun chasing me earlier, so now it's my turn to chase you.

Run for your life. If you can get far enough, I'll really let you go."

The Weeping Soul Serpent Emperor looked at Aiden's evil smile and knew that this person didn't have any good intentions.

But what could it do?

The difference in strength was now obvious, and based on that terrifying aura emerging from Aiden's flames, it had already lost its will to fight.

The Weeping Soul Serpent Emperor didn't waste another second and coiled its body before shooting out in the other direction!

Don't be deceived by its massive body. The Weeping Soul Serpent Emperor was deceptively fast.

It had been only a bit behind the speed of Aiden before, and that was just in its regular state.

Now, it had stimulated its body to the max and was practically burning its own blood, so the effects were worlds apart.

Its massive body moved in a blur.

Despite having a size comparable to the freight trucks back on Earth, its speed was dazzling.

For a second, the Weeping Soul thought it stood a chance at escaping if it kept up this momentum.

But just as the Weeping Soul Serpent Emperor was getting its hopes up, it heard an ominous voice ring in its ears.

"10…."

"9…."

"8…."

The voice had a sense of majesty but was still tinged with undeniable mockery.

What was even more horrifying was that no matter how far the serpent ran, the voice still seemed to ring in its ears from the same distance.

The Serpent's humongous body quickly squirmed even harder, as faint blood-red mist could be seen leaking through its scales.

It was burning every last bit of its blood as it scrambled to get as far away as it could.

All this was happening while Aiden remained watching with a mocking smile.

"7…"

"6…"

"5…."

Each number was said with the same tone, but in the ears of the Serpent, they were no different from a death sentence.

"4…."

"3…."

"2…."

"1…."

When the time reached its final point, the Weeping Soul Serpent had already covered an unimaginable distance, but it still wasn't enough.

"How disappointing…."

Aiden's cold chuckle sounded in the beast's ears, almost as if he was standing right next to it.

Hearing this, the Weeping Soul Serpent Emperor's heart sank.

Nothing… nothing had changed.

It was only then that the Weeping Soul Serpent Emperor realized something.

Right from the very start, there had been simply no chance of escaping from the hands of this ruthless monster.

This entire game was nothing more than that—a sham to give it hope and then ruthlessly tear it away and crush it.

The feelings of a Rank 2 divine beast were no less vivid than a human's, so the despair it felt was overwhelming.

The giant serpent turned back in horror, but it could only see the tunnels all around it starting to twist and turn.

Slowly but surely, the dark brown rock began to feel brighter and brighter until it turned a blazing hot crimson!

All around, the tunnels made from the hardest stones seemed to be melting like hot wax.

Purplish flames burst out of the ground and walls, mixing together with the burning crimson magma to create a hellish and apocalyptic sight that would haunt one's nightmares for years.
