Chapter 585: A Familiar Aura!
Loki then sensed the presence of his nemesis!
Meanwhile, Widvernil sensed the scent of his nemesis on the battlefield below.
Nighold.
The scent of destiny excited Widvernir even more, and moreover, Widvernir sensed a fellow he hated even more.
The next second, Widvernir let out an even louder bird cry.
A powerful aura once again spread out from the top of the World Tree, encircling and spreading down to Elbaf below.
At this moment, the battlefield of Elbaf fell into absolute silence.
In the center of the battlefield, Rocks stood with his arms crossed on the ruins of a massive, collapsed stone house.
Just half a minute ago, he was so excited he was almost manic.
Loki the Black Dragon transformed into a colossal ancient beast that blotted out the sky, tearing apart those grotesque nightmare monsters on the battlefield.
The elite of the Knights of God were forced into a desperate defensive posture, and Im's plan to subdue Elbaf had temporarily failed.
Garin, the usually aloof and high-ranking commander of the Knights of God, now gripped his longsword with a grim expression. This plan had taken many unexpected turns.
Especially that enormous black dragon in the sky!
Seeing this made Rocks even more excited.
The pure dark power bestowed upon him by Chenye began to leak out without his knowledge.
That power pushed his ambition to its highest point, making him want to reach out and grasp the entire ocean.
The people of the World Government have been trampled under his feet.
Im on the Void Throne is nothing more than someone he'll kill sooner or later.
Lox looked down at Garin, his smile widening, stretching his scars open with cruel arrogance.
He was prepared to hurl the most vicious words at Garin once again, crushing the World Government's ridiculous dignity into the mud bit by bit.
"Karin, you old codger..."
He only uttered half of his words.
The powerful pressure emanating from Widvernir swept over his body.
Rocks' laughter stopped abruptly.
His mouth was still open, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. But the sound was stuck deep in his throat; he couldn't utter a single word!
Although this powerful pressure only lasted for a moment.
Deep within Crox's mind, he was utterly shocked.
The Observation Haki reacted instantly. The intuition of a top-tier expert was faster than any other sense, relentlessly pursuing the source of that aura.
Lox's pupils dilated suddenly, his face filled with disbelief!
He suddenly turned his head.
He forgot about Garin Saint. He also forgot about the World Government members around him. He followed the hostile and wary gaze of the black dragon Loki in the sky and stared at the top of the towering World Tree.
The madness that had been on Lockes' face just moments before vanished completely.
What remains is an overwhelming sense of shock.
There was also trembling.
He was tense up little by little.
What's even more terrifying is his dark power.
That darkness, capable of devouring everything, now contracted inwards, clinging to his skin. No longer projecting outwards, no longer baring its fangs, it immediately returned to Lox's body!
When a wild beast encounters its natural enemy, it will sheathe its claws and teeth.
The same goes for Rocks.
"That aura..."
How could this be? It shouldn't be like this. In Davy Jones's memory, this guy should have died hundreds of years ago!
However, the aura I felt just now was definitely real, and it was coming from the top of the World Tree!
Rocks gritted his teeth.
He was utterly bewildered. How could someone who was supposed to have disappeared suddenly reappear?
The previous arrogance vanished without a trace, leaving only the fear of being torn apart by some ancient understanding.
The veins on the back of his hands bulged. His fists clenched tighter and tighter.
Rocks did not bow his head.
A name buried by time, an existence that even the World Government may not know, a monster unknown even to the powerful figures of the old era!
Even Rocks knew because Davy Jones had a record of that guy in his memories!
Rocks wanted to remind himself if he was sensing something wrong!
but!
Can't go wrong.
Absolutely not wrong.
That kind of high-altitude, dominating abysses, exuding a tyrannical aura of superiority, could only come from something that had disappeared for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Rocks' heart pounded in his chest. Each thud felt as heavy as if it would break his ribs.
He once thought that existence had vanished in that earth-shattering war eight hundred years ago.
He once thought that the dark power Chen Ye had given him was terrifying enough. In this world, no one else could truly threaten his life.
But now, that aura is pressing down from the top of the World Tree.
Like a hammer smashing a crown.
Rocks's proud arrogance was shattered. This world was deeper, colder, and more ancient than he had imagined. And there were monsters far beyond his comprehension, lurking at the ends of history.
That pure, overwhelming pressure from those in power made this once ambitious and domineering man taste the bitterness of insignificance for the first time.
Whitebeard, who was standing not far away, was the first to notice Rocks' unusual behavior.
The white-bearded man didn't possess the ancient secrets that Lox had. That aura didn't trigger any taboos in his memory, yet it was still unsettlingly domineering.
This sense of oppression doesn't even resemble Conqueror's Haki.
It is older.
It's also more savage.
The white-bearded man's right arm muscles bulged, the rock-like lines stretching his skin. He gripped the supreme grade sword, Murakumogiri, tightly with both hands, the blade pulsating with a high-density white aura of vibration, emitting a deep hum.
As soon as something lunges at him, he will immediately unleash a shockwave that tears through space.
Whitebeard turned to look at Rocks.
With just one glance, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
Rocks' eyes were bloodshot, cold sweat streamed down his scars, and the muscles in his face twitched uncontrollably. He looked nothing like the madman he had been moments before.
Whitebeard had known Rocks for decades.
This man is a madman, a madman, a monster who dares to trample heaven and earth under his feet. Back in God Valley, Rocks didn't show the slightest fear when facing Roger and Garp joining forces.
But now.
He was trembling.
"Rocks! What's wrong with you?"
With a roar, the white-bearded man shattered the silence.
Murakumo-giri slammed heavily to the ground. The hilt shook, shattering the stones floating at his feet into powder.
"What's with that ghost-like look on your face?"
"What on earth is up there that could scare you like this?!"
Questions echoed across the battlefield.
Lox acted as if he hadn't heard.
His gaze remained fixed on the top of the World Tree. The fear in his eyes did not subside; instead, it deepened.
Meanwhile, on a high platform at the edge of the battlefield.
The woman in white, possessed by the will of Im, was suspended in mid-air. Her face was exquisitely beautiful but devoid of warmth, like a puppet moved by silken threads, without breath, without heartbeat, and without any human emotions.
A second before the soul fluctuation erupted, she raised her pale arm.
A powerful dark flame had already gathered in her palm.
Loki, the black dragon in the sky, has been locked onto by her.
She was about to deliver the fatal blow.
To put an end to this farce.
But the moment that invisible eagle's cry transformed into a powerful pressure, sweeping across the entire Elbaf...
Even this god was no longer calm.
