Chapter 329 - Leaving
---
The earth shook. The winds howled and every primate felt like the sky was caving in.
Everyone was then blinded by a brilliant flash of gold. All they heard was an enormous explosion and the severe trembling of the ground beneath them. Everyone tried to hold onto something to keep themselves stable. Ronald grabbed his brothers and anchored his foot firmly onto the ground beneath him, Charles merely squinted while looking up since he felt that he shouldn\'t miss this.
Charles saw the enormous golden hand took flight. It took of with the force that almost ripped the sky and the clouds apart. Harry and his subordinates were then grabbed by a mysterious force and were placed on the palms. He then saw Raven lightly swung his hammer and sent the golden hand towards the general direction of the enemy tribe.
It only took a minute before the explosion happened. Charles didn\'t need to see it personally in order to confirm it. He could already tell what happened when he felt the ground beneath him quaking.
The Frenzied Silverback Tribe is done for. Whether someone survived or not, only fate can tell. And even if they did survive that attack, Charles had no doubts that they would never think about getting revenge. He wouldn\'t blame them from doing so since he shared the same sentiments.
\'Your tribe did nothing wrong so don\'t be afraid.\' Raven\'s voice echoed on his ears, making Charles somewhat freeze on where he stood. He didn\'t know how he was doing this but he could only remain silent and listen to what he has to say.
\'I\'ll advise you to keep your kin from exiting the premises of your tribe. What I did definitely agitated the sleeping monsters nearby, I have no doubts that they will start a rampage and eat everything they see. If you want to keep your kin alive, it would best for you to listen to me.\'
\'I placed an enchantment around your tribe, isolating you from the senses of those monsters. It will remain like that for 14 days and nights. After that period, it will disappear for good and you all will be on your own. This is my thanks for your hospitality towards me.\'
\'Do remember my words however.\' Raven\'s voice sounded incomparably serious when he said this. \'Make one wrong move and your tribe will end up like the one just now. I hope you will do the right thing.\'
\'That\'s all I have to say. Farewell for now, and if fate demands it. We shall see each other again.\'
After saying his piece, Charles saw Raven disappeared from where he was like a ghost. He tried probing his surroundings but he couldn\'t even pick up anything. It was as if Raven dissipated from the face of the earth. All Charles could do was sigh and etch the warning that Raven left behind.
Unbeknownst to him, Raven wasn\'t only talking to him during that moment. He talked with Ronald and Dennis too.
Ronald heard his voice just as soon as the winds stopped their onslaught.
\'What I told to the Monkey was true.\' Ronald shook when he heard Raven\'s voice inside his head. \'If you don\'t want to die, then don\'t even think about condensing your sixth tail. The same goes for your brothers.\'
The four tailed ape felt his fur stood on its tips as he listened to his words. He didn\'t speak and waited for Raven to continue.
"You can condense your fifth tail. In fact, I advise it since that will give you ample time to live longer and remain with your brothers. It will also give a boost in strength that you may use to keep your brothers safe. But that\'s your absolute limit, go past that and this world will start hating you and your brothers for that matter. I am telling you this because you had treated me with great hospitality throughout my stay. And I admire your love for your brothers.\'
\'Farewell for now. We will see each other again, should fate demands it.\'
It was then that Ronald felt Raven disappear. While he was listening to Raven\'s words, so did Dennis as well.
\'Let me guess.\' Raven\'s voice echoed on the young heir\'s ears, making him shiver. \'You\'re going to ask me if what I did was right or necessary, no?\'
Dennis bit his lips. Raven was right on point. The young monkey truly wanted to ask him that but he couldn\'t bring himself to do so. Not after everything that happened. Dennis still felt responsible for everything that occurred.
\'I\'m sorry to inform you this, but I also couldn\'t tell.\' Raven\'s voice sounded firm here, specially when he said his next words. \'I did all of that to ensure the safety of my home and loved ones.\'
\'While it is admirable that you sought for everyone to love and understand each other, do remember that not everyone has the same idea as you are, not everyone is as determined as you are and lastly, you are you, they are themselves. You might wear the same clothes and skin, but you and them will never be the same. It\'d be creepy if that\'s the case.\'
Each words of Raven struck the deepest recesses of Dennis\' heart. He couldn\'t bring himself to retort any of it.
\'Achieving peace without strength is but wishful thinking, young heir. Just because you want everyone to get along well and understand each other, doesn\'t mean that the world will move according to your will. If you want your dreams to turn into reality, then don\'t just wish for it, grab it using your own hands and own it.\'
\'But be warned, young heir. Everything won\'t fall in their places according to your wishes. I hope that you will remain true to who you are and remember all these lessons.\'
\'Farewell for now. I hope that you\'ll grow up into an amazing Tribe Leader when we meet again in the future.\'

Raven did not lie. What he did truly woke up the slumbering monsters nearby.
His attack caused the Frenzied Silverback Tribe to be annihilated, leaving nothing but an wide gaping hole. The aftershocks didn\'t only cause the earthquakes. The residual force and laws that was contained by his attack also dispersed everywhere and agitated the slumbering beasts.
South of the tribe, about ten kilometers away. There is a massive three headed hound wrecking havoc and devastation on its surroundings. One head breathed fire, the other poison and the last one frost. Every beast that were around it ran for their lives, some managed to escape while the rest were unfortunate.
East of the tribe, about seven kilometers away. There is a humongous mammoth with razor sharp tusks and black stripes all over its body. Even the slightest movement of this monstrosity caused the earth tremble. It went on a rampage, slamming its long nose like an iron flail at everything that it saw. Trees fell down, beasts were reduced into piles of goo and its roars were heard throughout the wilderness.
North of the tribe, about twelves kilometers away. There is swamp which currently filled with activity. If one was nearby, they would see that the swamp was gradually turning red. Beneath the swamp is a massive alligator going on a rampage all of sudden. Its speed was unmatched in the swamp, its razor sharp teeth shredded everything that it passes through, dyeing the swamp with blood on the process.
And at the west, about fifteen kilometers away. There is a small wasp that is perched up on a rotting tree. It would be best not to underestimate the size of this wasp since even the smallest movement of its wings will cause everything around 100 meter radius to be filled with a deadly mist of poison. Due to the aftermath of Raven\'s attack, it\'s slumber was interrupted. Thus, it seeks to destroy the one who\'s responsible for waking it up. It\'s wings repeatedly fluttered, sending waves of green mists that scattered kilometers away from it\'s location. Anything that caught even the faintest whiff of this poison will immediately rot away and die a painful death.
There are still more beasts that were disturbed by the commotion as well. Similarly, they too were starting a rampage but they will either get a kill or get killed. There was a bloodbath in the wilderness, thankfully they are nowhere near the tribe.
Every beasts were deadly on their own but these four are the ones that Raven was referred to as slumbering monsters. The Gentle Primates Tribe will definitely be destroyed once any of these monsters found where they live. Thankfully, Raven isolated the location of the tribe with the help of a Space Enchantment.
Even if one of those monstrosities managed to get near the tribe, their senses will be fooled and they absolutely won\'t notice that the tribe was there. The enchantment will last until the monstrosities end their rampage and go back to sleep. Now, if Charles followed Raven\'s advice, he won\'t lose anyone from his tribe. But that\'s up to him.
Meanwhile, the one who caused all of this chaos was sitting peacefully inside a room while munching on some snacks.
