The Author's POV

Chapter 815

"Surprised? Just gotten started?"

Jezebeth mumbled Ren's words over and over again while covering his mouth with his hand. As his whole body shook, his posture became increasingly hunched over.

"Kh…khh…k.."

The words were so unexpected that he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

His laughter started out as a series of muffled cries, but it quickly grew into something more. It wasn't a boisterous laugh, but it had a depth to it that reverberated throughout the world.

By the time he was done laughing, tears had formed in the corners of his eyes.

"Now this…"

He wiped the tears from his eyes, fixing his gaze on Ren.

"This is the way things ought to play out. And here I was getting concerned that everything was going a little too smoothly for me."

Jezebeth felt genuinely relieved.

The scariest thing was the unknown. Something that Ren specialized in.

What wasn't scary was the known, and now that he knew what Ren's plan was, he no longer felt as wary as before.

Having said that, he didn't let his guard down.

Turning his head to stare at the projections, Jezebeth smiled.

"So this is your plan?"

Within one of the projections, the only thing he could see was the color white, and although he couldn't exactly tell what was going on inside, he already had an idea.

"Hmm."

He smiled while pondering.

"It isn't a bad plan, but…"

Turning his head to look at Ren, he shook his head.

"Never mind, I'm sure you've already worked everything out in your head. Your years of experience should have prepared you to recognize certain facts by now. I suppose the only thing I can do is try to move things along more quickly."

Clenching his fist, the air around Jezebeth trembled. Staring directly at Ren, he punched out.

WOOOM―!

It didn't matter where his fist went; the space around it would shatter, and a whole new world would reflect in the broken pieces of space. This time, it was a snow-covered plain with rocky outcrops.

Drizzle. Drizzle.

Water drizzled down from the sky once the whiteness of the world faded. An utter silence encompassed the world, only broken by the muffled drizzle from above.

"Still alive?"

A certain voice broke the silence. Slowly descending from the sky, Ren's gaze paused on a small figure laying beneath the ocean floor. Over half of his body was torn, and his eyes were completely white.

Stepping onto the surface of the water, he bent his body slightly. He calmly studied the demon beneath, his gaze fixed on his white eyes.

He was still alive, but his condition wasn't good.

He was barely holding onto his own life.

'So this is how strong the sixth movement is…'

Ren inwardly muttered, staring at his hands, which had become transparent. For the first time he could remember, he had finally used the sixth movement, and the power contained within it was something that was well beyond his expectations.

No…

To say this was beyond his expectations was a lie.

He had seen what it could do against the Protector and thus could tell exactly how powerful it was.

Splash―!

Submerging himself into the water, Ren sank down until he stood right above Prince Murdock. He was just about to end things when, all of a sudden, Prince Murdock's gaze cleared, and his hand sharply reached for his neck.
