Chapter 677: A Death Sentence
"I do not know who you are, nor do I care what status you may possess."
"What I do know for a fact is that, when next you ask my woman to give an elderly kneel in front of you yet you give her such a condescending look, will be the day I take away your useless life..."
His words filled with biting coldness filled the entire hall, reverberating like a bolt of electricity through the body of Elder Nogara, whose brain failed to interpret the situation he was in.
Ever since he had been given birth, he had received many threats to get to this position, but none.
None dared to ever give him a direct threat to his life, but to even step on his chest and trample on him, while doing so!?
"DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE."
A loud roar boomed through the hall followed by an explosion of energy that bloomed forth through the golden hall.
A figure was instantly blown into the air, spinning a couple of times before he landed on both foot, yet the instant his feet landed on the ground.
His hands automatically crossed before his chest and then,
RIIIIIPPPPPPPPPP
The space in the path of his crossed arm was ripped into nothing as a dark eagle-like claw covered in bizarre dark runes appeared, and then slammed into it.
CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG
The sound was the same as iron clashing into iron as a figure was roughly blown out of the hall.

Morgaine had barely walked a couple of steps away from the hall, the male guards giving her a nod of acknowledgement as she walked out of the dark gate when she felt a faint release of aura.
She snapped back to the dark gate, but seeing that the guards were unmoving and even wondering why she even turned back at all.
She shrugged it off, continuing in her steps.
'I hope they both get along with, things might get problematic if they don't,' Morgaine thought to herself as she resumed walking but then,
"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
The sound filled with incredible rage burst out from behind as she paused in her step, her eyes turning to the door.
The two guards instantly tried to go in, yet they had yet to take a step when they were erratically blown away like feathers in a storm.
A figure's back burst out through the gate, appearing right before Morgaine just a second later.
Her eyes dillated finding the back more than familiar.
'Ryuk?'
the name echoed in her head, but her hands were already moving on their own to grab him, but she touched nothing as Void Vortex appeared right before them, and Ryuk faded into it, appearing behind Morgaine.
He dragged on for about 70 more meters before finally coming to a stop.
"Ryuk, are you?" Morgaine tried to say as she faded into thin air, to reach him yet halfway through to Ryuk.
It descended.
An aura that shook her heart so much she was unable to move even a single inch from where she stood.
It was a paralyzing aura that invoked so much fear that even the ground beneath her reverberating as if an earthquake was ongoing.
She strained her neck to turn it sideways and that was when she caught sight of him.
It was a Fallen, billowing pitch black hair and surrounded by pitch dark aura.
Six gigantic wings were all unfurled behind him, coated in only black tattoos that extended to cover the entirety of his body.
His aura was like one of primordial evil, or more like a divine being that fell out of heavenly grace.
'Elder... Nogara?' She thought in shock, looking at the drastic transformation.
One of the 12 Elders of the Dominare Royal Family, one said to be a Supreme Being, with clothes having been reduced to rags, but then her eyes further flashed in disbelieve and confusion when she looked at his chest area.
Somehow while the remainder of Elder Nogara's body was in black, there was a white imprint on his chest.
The imprint of a...
"Foot?" She thought to herself in even more confusion and disbelief but her expression contorted when she witnessed the new aura that quickly began appearing over the sky above her.
About a dozen guards had appeared in an instant, locking down the entirety of the area and bringing the suffocating aura to an unbelievable level.
Her body strained under the conjoined aura as she felt strength leaving her.
Morgaine was only at the Cataclysm stage, yet standing in an oppressive circle of one at the Apocrypha stage and another 12 Eternity experts.
It was a miracle that she was even able to still remain conscious and not knocked down in an instant, but even she herself had her limit as her consciousness slipped and she fell to the ground.
But halfway before she reached the ground, she landed first in an arm.
A cold arm, yet one so soothing that she finally gave up resistance, falling asleep within them.
Ryuk rose upright, eyes gazing softly at the golden-haired beauty in his arms but then the loud voice echoed out bringing him out of his reverie.
"To attempt an assassination attempt on an Elder of the Dominare Family while being on the Dominare Ground!" Elder Nogara shouted as he took step forwards the ground beneath him shuddering with every step.
The various guards flying above Ryuk all began descending to the ground, as if trying to arraign him but then,
"Your punishment is death, and I will be carrying it out!" He declared as Ryuk raised his head up, only to find the various Guards paused in their position as if stuck in time.
Their gold eyes gleamed in disbelief and some of them threw Ryuk a pity gaze.
He watched them slowly back off from him, to converge in a circle around him instead as if locking down the area, and then they stood like stone.
Ryuk slowly took his gaze off to stare at Elder Nogara who held an upright face, but Ryuk saw more than that

Right now, he could more than just see what was around him.
He could feel them, and all he felt flickering in the elder's was a cunning disdainful smile.
'We'll finally get to be able to get rid of her headache in one swift move.'
'The idiot signed his own death.'
'As expected of an aboriginal boy.'
