The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Catching Up to Past Sins - 1

"Fufu... What a nice plan."

Just as they were deep in thought about how to carry out their plan, a loud, distorted voice rang through the hall, dripping with intense fury and laced with biting sarcasm.

The temperature in the room suddenly began to rise at an alarming rate.

The seven leaders of the [Lord's Disciple] faction, Benedetto Marco Giuliani, Stefano Barone, Matteo Bianchi, Antonio Romano, Teresa Lombardi, Elisabetta Ferrara, and Caterina Mancini, felt an overwhelming sense of dread.

The temperature wasn't the only thing rising; the pressure in the air was also rapidly intensifying.

The Awakeners inside the castle felt it too, as if something far beyond them had invaded their home.

"Who... W-Who is that?" Matteo Bianchi asked grimly, sweat dripping from his skin due to the unbearable heat.

At the same time, he could feel the presence of something monstrous.

They didn't know whose overwhelmingly powerful presence this was, but some, like Teresa Lombardi, who had once faced a terrifying monster in the ranking battles, could sense a familiar fury within it.

However, something was different.

This presence felt even more massive and overwhelmingly powerful than before.

"Oh God, I beg you, please... tell me it's not that monster," Caterina Mancini murmured with an ugly expression, both in emotion and appearance, her heavily made-up face contorted in fear.@@novelbin@@

"It can't be... It can't be him. I judged his presence before, and it was nowhere near this powerful..." she muttered as her face rapidly shifted into one of sheer terror.
