Covering his eyes from the blinding light for a second before reopening them, he was surprised that the explosion had managed to do as much.

"Hm, it even made me feel a little warm, but too bad for you, human, hell is my home and this much heat is nothing."

Usually, the shockwave alone would be enough to erase anyone, but the monster's armour like skin shook it off as if it was nothing more than a slightly hot a breeze.

However, much to his surprise, the human wasn't done as he could see the mana spike at her hands as she chanted in a language he didn't understand.

SINKTT!!!

The sound of his claws separating her head from her body was rather loud from the mana she had within.

"Maybe, at one point of time, you were stronger than myself..." he said to the rolling head on the floor.

It was a rather repulsive and disturbing view, yet he enjoyed every bit of it.

CLANKK!!

Looking back in surprise, he saw a girl with a rather pale olive coloured complexion. She had light brown hair and matching eyes.

Contrary to her scared expression, she was holding a metal rod against the back of his shoulder.

"Ah, you have little to no mana that when compared to the mana explosion this human- had created-" he kicked the the headless body of the dead Camilla to emphasize, "you seemed almost invisible."

SINKT!

The sound of his claws tearing through her face was quieter than it seemed to be, but the view was still messy.

"Ah, a Malaian befriending a human? It's just so like your folks, huh?" he said to Axane holding the baby in her arms, being the last one standing, other than Raven.

She was so shaken by what she's just witnessed that she didn't even attempt to run, hide, or save beg for him to spare baby Rituxi.

Her silver eyes were wide open but her pupils were so small, barely noticeable, which reminded him of the little crimson-purple haired girl.

"Hm, I'm bored already, I'll kill you both now." he said calmly as he extended his right hand forward, and with a quick squeeze, he ended her life.

He hadn't strangled her to death, but rather squashed her neck, breaking her spine and mushing her esophagus.

The moment her body became as lifeless as a rag, she dropped the baby to the ground.

Not wasting a moment to hear the cries of the young one, the monster was about to press his foot against the baby's head.

*CRACK!!!!*

The space and time holding reality together seemed to crash and break apart as everything reverted back to its normal state; no one was dead.

Raven still had her two arms around Maya's neck in a fake chokehold as the latter's eyes were filled with fake fright.

Camilla was still on the verge of tears from Maya's harsh words, although they were joking, she was actually hurt by the little girl's words.

Maria was still wearing an angry expression on her face as she was scolding Maya because of her rude behaviour.

Even Joey, Rain, and Axane with baby Rituxi, were still feeling awkward and out of place,a Nd their faces showed exactly that.

[Inherent Skill Contingency Call's passive effect has been activated.

[Effect unknown.

[Special Skill Premonition has been gained.

[All skills have leveled up by two (+2)]

Kayla's voice seemed to knock Raven out of her trance as she was completely lost.

[Raven, what's the matter? Why did your inherent skill activate all of a sudden? And how come I can feel it?

[Moreover, why do you seem so shaken? What's wrong, please let me know, Raven?]

Even though Raven was surprised for many reasons, she didn't let it show on her face. No, she couldn't.

She didn't even know if all of what she's just seen was an illusion, a prediction, or if she has reverted back time, somehow.

She didn't have time to reply to Kayla, not even her own many questions, before a distant cry could be heard.

"WATCH OUT! WE HAVE A ROUGH MONSTER!!!" a voice shouted to be heard before an explosion roared deafening every body.

Every fiber in Raven's being knew what was coming, and every hair on her body warned and yelled at her to run with her group.

She didn't want to see Maya's face getting torn to shreds, nor did she want to see her blood spraying all over her own face and body.

She didn't want to see Maria restrained and r*ped, only to be killed shortly after. Like an item that has reached its expiry date.

She didn't want to see Camilla's headless body, Joey's torn flesh, and Rains face turned into a bloody mess.

She couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to run, no she needed to run with everyone she loved away from this place.

Yet, she couldn't move her body an inch. She couldn't live with the fear of witnessing all of these events some time later in the future.

It was exactly like the feelings she had had when she was running away from Lady Luck and her assistant.

The feeling of being so weak, so... helpless. Nothing she could do was able to make it easier for her, at the time.

She was always living in fear of meeting her again, even after becoming much stronger than before.

The feeling she's had was like a bug stuck in a spider's web.

'Sooner or later, the bug would have to fight against the spider, and I'd rather die knowing that I've tried, than living my life in fear. I've already experienced it once, and I'm not doing it again.' even though those were her thoughts, she didn't believe in them for a second.

'No, I can't just try... I MUST END THAT B*STARD!' she thought as her eyes glowed with majestic gold.
