Ray lightly coughed as he slowly walked step by step to the door.
"I need some clothes," he spoke lightly but still walked without shame. Creating momentum with his fist, Ray lightly punched the gate.
The gate broke down, with cobweb-like cracks spreading to the wall.
"This strength is really terrifying…" Ray muttered as he looked up to see an army of criminals aiming their guns at him.
"Tell me where King is," he loudly announced while casually walking up to one of the houses as if he owned the place.
"Eh, what should we do?" The criminals looked perplexed seeing this.
King had freed them all from the jail and made them his henchmen, but these people were never loyal to him.
They were only loyal to the deterrent power and terror of King.
If they faced an opponent they couldn't beat, they wouldn't confront him, and Ray was exactly that person.
"Should we run?" one of them said through gritted teeth. "King isn't here anyway. There's no way we can beat that monster who could punch through a missile."
The others didn't speak but began to backtrack with weary gazes.
As one of them retreated the furthest, he was instantly pierced by an Ice Lance. His entire body froze completely, becoming unresponsive and unable to speak.
"I want to see who dares to defect," Seraphine spoke coldly, her silver hair fluttering in the wind.
Her mere presence seemed to decrease the temperature in the surrounding area. Beside her were countless other girls, also holding guns.
"This…" When the criminals' eyes fell on her, their expressions reflected both hatred and fear.
"Master Seraphine, men are nothing but horny. We must end all men," one of the girls said, grinding her teeth in pure disgust.
"Fern, this is not the time to talk about this," Seraphine spoke coldly, but her brows couldn't help twitching.
If all men die, won't all women die as well, leading to the collapse of humanity? Fern was not in the right state of mind.
"But…" Fern looked at the criminals in pure disgust.
"Fern, are you looking to trouble Master Seraphine again?" Edie spoke from the left.
"I am sorry, Master Seraphine." Fern immediately bowed her head with a terrified expression.
"Alright, alright, we need to take care of this person first." Seraphine calmly shook her head, her eyes flickering with determination.
Soon under the eyes of all, Ray walked out of the house in a new black suit.
"Hey, this dress suits me," Ray looked down at himself and muttered with a satisfied expression, as if he couldn't see all the guns pointed at him.
"Who are you?" Seraphine was the first to speak.
Ray raised his head to meet the gaze of the girl with silver hair and a cold expression. The temperature of the entire surrounding decreased by her mere presence; she looked like an Ice Queen.
"I am a human, a Homo sapiens with a tail at the front." Ray was not wrong.
"Don't play with me. What business do you have in our Awakener Association?" She spoke slowly while four huge ice lances formed behind her, slowly rotating around.
"If you don't give me a convincing explanation, then you are dead."
"Really?" Ray chuckled. "Where is King? I am looking for him."
Seraphine's expression slightly changed. "King is not someone you can meet."
"Then I will force him out," Ray said, lightning surrounding his entire body.
"Lightning Arts: Lightning Field."
He made some weird movements, almost like a dance.
"Hmm, do you really want to fight?" Seraphine narrowed her eyes.
"No, I want to dance."
Ray spoke lightly. The moment he sprinted towards her, his figure became blurry due to his terrifying speed.
"Isn't he a Lightning element Awakener?" Seraphine's eyes widened as she hurriedly threw the ice lances that were rotating around her back towards Ray.
But Ray easily avoided the first by turning right, then simply jumped up in the air to avoid all of them.
"Hmm?" Ray looked at the ice lance which was following him accurately. "Can these Ice Lances chase after me?"
In mid-air, Ray slightly extended his hand, and a ball of ice formed in his palm.
This was naturally his C-class skill: Ice Magic. Although both he and Seraphine wielded ice powers, her abilities were far more terrifying, as her skill was A-class.
Ray lightly threw the ice ball at the snipers who were constantly shooting at him, directly freezing them to death.
"He has Ice Magic too? How is that possible?" Seraphine was shocked to the core.
It was already astounding for someone to have such strong Lightning Magic, combined with a physique likely enhanced by another skill. And now, he displayed yet another skill.
"What kind of Awakener is this?"
She looked at her hand, which was trembling.
At that moment, Ray descended from the sky right at her, with the ice lances following closely behind.
"Master Seraphine, be careful!" Fern shouted worriedly and shielded her, forming an invisible barrier around them.
Even without Ray landing, the terrifying electric current that flowed around him almost cracked the shield, just moments away from breaking.
Boom!
Under Fern's horrified eyes, Ray crashed into the barrier and directly destroyed it.
Dust rose from the ground as they landed, and all eyes were glued to the dust in anticipation.
The women looked on worriedly, while the criminals, who despised Seraphine, hoped both she and Ray would be injured, making their situation advantageous.
The ice spears that had trailed Ray also entered at this moment, scattering the dust and revealing the scene.
Ray stood tall, his body crackling with residual electricity, his hand tightly catching the ice lance like it was nothing.
"Interesting, an A-class skill is really not easy to beat," he spoke lightly.
Seraphine and Fern were also completely fine.
Seraphine's perfect body was now draped in blue armour that emitted a chilling energy, causing the air around her to freeze. Two elegant feathers adorned her ears.
