Seven worlds

Thor, in the command cabin, Attila gave an order: "Thor is heading towards Oasis at full speed, ready to fight. The mecha regiment is ready to attack, and the Gemini is ready to attack."

Lin Dong, Lin Nan, Amanda, and Newnes arrived at the door of the hatch as quickly as possible, where all members of the mecha group had entered their mecha chest compartment.Attila left the command cabin and went to the cockpit. Zhou Ning quickly reported: "League commander, there is an abnormality in the oasis star, and unknown creatures are attacking the oasis star."

Attila: "Full speed ahead! After 10 minutes, the mecha group and Gemini will attack!"

"Yes!"

Thor tore off the camouflage of invisibility, and headed towards Oasis at full speed.Twenty-ten minutes later, the door of Thor's battle compartment opened, and 10 mechas and four non-standard special mechas flew out of Thor, and flew towards the Oasis Star, which was already close at hand, at a faster speed.Against the light of the "oasis" planet, their naked eyes could already clearly see black spots fleeing from the oasis star.

Attila: "Surround up all those who escaped from Oasis, and kill those who refuse to surrender."

The Thor soldiers in a neat formation immediately changed their formation and surrounded the Oasis Star in an encircling posture.Lin Dong, Lin Nan, Amanda and Newnes also flew in two directions.

Gemini is the fastest.Lin Dong, Lin Nan, Amanda and Newnes, who had already encountered the fleeing Oasis star soldiers, did not go to find out who was attacking the Oasis star. Soldiers who have escaped, don't let anyone escape from their encirclement!

"Big Brother, Second Brother, the little master is safe. Don't worry about the little master, arrest all those who bully the little master!"

The faces of Lin Dong and Lin Nan were flickered in the light caused by the explosion of the mecha.

——Linxi, brother will avenge you!

Humanoid monsters swept across the oasis planet.The Oasis Xingxing Port has been completely engulfed in flames and completely paralyzed. Not a single spaceship, warship, or hover vehicle successfully lifted off to escape the monster's attack.

Many people can't figure it out until they die. Why is this?what is going on?What is that monster?On the day the leader came back, Oasis was attacked by destruction.The oasis star, which can't even be attacked by interstellar aliens, was attacked without anyone knowing why, and suffered a desperate attack.

The mastermind "Dongfang" of Oasis Star was captured by Youke, and the screens of the masterminds of the entire Oasis Star were the same picture - a thick carrot.

Afterwards, the appearance of the Thor completely collapsed the oasis star who had been frightened by the monster.Many people gave up resistance completely, their eyes were ashen, they only knew that they were finished, they were going to die.

Clutching his chest, Fang Tian staggered forward as hard as he could in the underground secret passage of the palace.His breathing was like a broken bellows, and it seemed that he would suffocate at any time because he couldn't catch his breath.Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, he leaned on the wall, his eyes burning with the last glimmer of hope as he stared ahead.

His mecha was destroyed, and was knocked down from the sky by a strange "black ball" thrown from the monster's hand.With just one move, only one move, his once invincible "Dingtian" fell heavily to the ground without any resistance.Fang Tian has only one thought - escape, escape, as long as he has breath, he must escape!

No one knows that there is an underground palace under the palace, where a small spaceship and some supplies are parked, so Fang Tian will leave a way out for himself.Although the interstellar aliens never attack Oasis, no one can guarantee that one day the interstellar aliens will not change their minds. Fang Tian has always been confident in his own strength, but he does not dare to be arrogant in front of the interstellar aliens.Build an underground palace, park a life-saving spaceship and some repairs, so that you can escape when you are in danger.

He caught Lin Xi, and his ambition was about to unfold, but in an instant, everything disappeared.

Fang Tian no longer needed to press Lin Xi for the answer to Shaying Star's destruction, now he was experiencing it himself.It is certain that the destruction of Sand Eagle Star has an absolute relationship with Lin Xi.He didn't know who that monster was, but it must have something to do with Linxi.The night Du Ying took Lin Xi away, Sand Eagle Star was wiped out; on the day he brought Lin Xi back, Oasis Star suffered the same blow as Sand Eagle Star.What else does he not understand?

At this moment, Fang Tian regretted it. He regretted provoking Lin Xi, regretted bringing Lin Xi to the "Oasis", regretted that he had been dreaming such unrealistic dreams, regretted that he was unwilling to be mediocre, and even more regretted...his surname is Dongfang .If his surname was not Dongfang, he would not have such unrealistic dreams, he would not have such ambitions, and he would not have provoked Lin Xi.

It's coming, it's coming soon.Suddenly there was a violent vibration behind him, and Fang Tian, ​​who had suffered internal injuries, was knocked to the ground by the shaking of the ground.Thick dust rose up, Fang Tian coughed violently while covering his nose, and blood flowed out from the crevices of his fingers.

A person walked towards Fang Tian amidst the rising dust, and Fang Tian, ​​who heard the sound of footsteps, barely supported his body and turned his head.He first saw a vague shadow, when the footsteps became more and more obvious, and when the shadow became clearer and clearer, Fang Tian crawled forward with hands and feet on the ground with a frightened face as if seeing a ghost.

"Zizi-"

The three "black balls" condensed in the opponent's palm, and the opponent threw it with a raised hand. The three black balls hit the ground where Fang Tian was walking, and three bottomless black holes appeared on the ground instantly.No powder, no explosion, just a black hole, a bottomless black hole.Fang Tian's actions were like pressing the pause button.Blood dripped down from the corner of his mouth, and he was as embarrassed as he wanted at this moment, and he didn't have the viciousness, evil, and publicity he had when facing Lin Xi on the battleship before.

"Why didn't you run away?"

Fang Tian's eye sockets opened to the limit in an instant, this voice!

As footsteps approached, Fang Tian's hair stood on end, and a pair of skinless, muscle-exposing feet stopped beside him, and then the other party squatted down.

"I hate when people pinch my chin! You threw away my ring!"

Fang Tian's body trembled violently, he didn't have the courage to turn his head to look at the person beside him. The "monster" pinched Fang Tian's neck, and Fang Tian completely gave up resistance and collapsed on the ground.

--little Master!His Highness Attila left the Thunder God to find you!

Lin Xi stopped with her hands vigorously, and responded to Er Tuo in her mind: I have found Fang Tian, ​​and I will kill him!

--little Master!Fang Tian is mine!I want to kill him with my own hands!You promised me!

Lin Xi was helpless: Oh.

Lin Xi let go of Fang Tian's neck, grabbed Fang Tian's clothes and stood up.With a light jump, his body flew into the air, and then he soared extremely fast.

Not caring about the battle in the star field outside the Oasis, Attila took a small spaceship to the Oasis to find Lin Xi, and Ertu stayed in his command cabin on the Thor.Yatila wears glasses, Boer drives the spaceship, Zhou Ning, Zhai Peng, and Bisuo are all there.Regarding the sudden wearing of glasses by the head of the legion, the whole legion has different thoughts.

"Legion Commander! On Oasis Planet!"

Having entered the atmosphere of the Oasis star, the situation on the Oasis star is also clearly reflected in the eyes of everyone in the spaceship.What a familiar scene!Everyone in the spaceship instantly thought of the Sand Eagle Star and the inexplicably destroyed Sand Eagle Pirates.

A white light cannon appeared in the distance, and soon, an explosion spark "bloomed" in another direction.Everyone on the spaceship looked in the direction of the light cannon, and the monitoring equipment on the spaceship immediately began to scan the images.

"what is that!"

Bohr was the first to scream, and Yatila, Zhou Ning, Zhai Peng, and Bisuo who were sitting all stood up, staring at the "person" in the air in front of them in horror.

There was no trace of composure on Attila's face either. He strode to the control panel, put his hands on the platform, leaned forward, and looked at the "person" through the observation window of the spaceship from a close distance.There was no calm in Attila's silver-blue eyes.Even facing a level [-] berserker and a level [-] berserker at the same time, Attila only had the fighting spirit to fight without fear, without the slightest panic or retreat.But that "person" made him feel the creepiness for the first time.

The hands of Zhou Ning, Boer, Zhai Peng, and Bisuo were shaking, and cold sweat was pouring out in waves. Zhou Ning could even hear his teeth chattering.

The "monster" was holding a person in his hand. The person was facing down, and he seemed to have passed out, with blood dripping from the person's body.Because of the distance, the people on the spaceship couldn't see that person's face clearly.The monster's head tilted, Attila's terminal rang, and he looked down.

Ertu: [Don't attack! 】

Attila regained her composure, pressed the spacecraft's communicator and ordered: "No one is allowed to attack!"

The monster raised its foot and fell a hundred meters away.He raised his foot again and landed again, another hundred meters away.There seemed to be a transparent passage in the air, and the monster walked on this passage, walking a hundred meters at a time, towards the spaceship where Attila was.

At this time, a mecha flew quickly from the back of the spaceship, and landed on the left side of the spaceship with a "whoosh" sound; then, another mecha flew over and quickly landed on the right side of the spaceship.In the air, thousands of mechas were approaching at the fastest speed, and the monster stopped.

Attila ordered again: "No one is allowed to attack!"

"Uncle Emperor, it's that 'humanoid alien'!"

Amanda's nervous trembling voice came from the communicator, and Attila ordered: "No one is allowed to attack! 'Pluto', 'Orion', stand back!"

"Uncle!"

"Back off!"

Lin Dong, Lin Nan, Amanda, and Newnes in the mech looked at the front with pale faces.After the "retreat" command from His Highness the God of War (uncle emperor) came out again through the communicator, they retreated slowly.

The monster raised the right hand that was holding the person, making a "give" gesture.Lin Dong shouted into the communicator: "I'll get it!"

Newnes: "I'll go!"

Attila ordered: "Amanda."

Newnes: "His Royal Highness! Please let me go!"

Amanda then said: "Newnes, obey the order!"

The "Orion" separated, and Amanda didn't give Newnes a chance to take the lead. He flew towards the monster quickly.Stop one step away from the monster.The monster still raised its hand, and Amanda bit her lower lip tightly, using the pain to calm herself down, controlling her stiff muscles, and not making any aggressive moves.Amanda stepped forward and raised her hand.

The monster let go, and Amanda subconsciously caught the falling man.No time to see who the monster handed over, Amanda stepped back and left quickly.It wasn't until he retreated to the position just now that he paid a little attention to look at the person in his hand.At this glance, Amanda was shocked.

"It's Fang Tian!"

Yatila: "Zhou Ning, bring Fang Tian back to the Thunder God."

"Legion Commander!"

Yatila looked over, Zhou Ning stood up, gave a military salute, and left the spaceship.Zhou Ning entered his mech, took over Fang Tian from Amanda's hands, and then contacted Thor to quickly send another spaceship down.The sweat from Zhou Ning's palms wet the buttons on the console.

The atmosphere at the scene became strangely quiet.The monster stood in place, opposite him, was the spaceship where Attila was in the center, with twin stars on both sides of the spaceship, surrounded by thousands of mechas all in combat readiness, that was part of the prince of Attila Guardsmen.Other personnel are still chasing and arresting the members of the Oasis Mecha Group in the star field.

The monster didn't move, and Attila gave orders not to attack, and the two sides were deadlocked in the air.There is no night in the oasis star, and the appearance of the monster is clearly reflected in everyone's eyes.In this strange stalemate, the sound of the spaceship taking off suddenly came from a distance.The monster turned around and flew towards the direction of the sound before all the mechas, including Gemini, could react. In an instant, his figure had become a black spot.

"So fast!"

The heartbeats of Lin Dong, Lin Nan, Amanda and Newnes lost two beats, and they were not given time to breathe. In the distance, a long, ray-like red light shot out, hitting a plane from the ruins. A fast-flying miniature spaceship.

"boom!"

The spaceship exploded at low altitude, once again bursting into a frightening spark.When the sparks dissipated, so did the shadow.

"he's gone!"

When Lin Dong said a word, Lin Nan cooperated with the engine armor, and the two chased after him first.Amanda and Newnes also chased after them, but Attila didn't stop them.But soon, the four of them came back.The monster disappeared, and they didn't track the direction where the monster left. How much confidence and pride the Gemini gave them before, how much blow and ridicule they have suffered now.

Attila: "Look for Lindsay."

Bohr controlled the spaceship with trembling hands, several times he couldn't press the control button smoothly.

Yatila returned to her seat and sat down, contacting Ertu: [Linxi's location. 】

[Wait a moment, it will take about 10 minutes, the little master's glasses are ruined. 】

Attila closed his eyes, then opened them again, his eyes regained his previous composure and composure, only his slightly tense face revealed a certain emotion in his heart.

——Little master, are you really planning to confess to His Royal Highness Attila?I only got 10 minutes for you, too long he will be suspicious.

Lin Xi from "The Seven Realms" was also very distressed, "I promised him to tell him my ability to protect myself. If I go back on my word, he will definitely spank my ass!"

Ertu gave the little master a sympathetic look.

— Well, then I can only wish you luck, little master.

Lin Xi pouted, "Sooner or later, I have to tell him, right? He is my fiancé, if he can't accept it, I will break off the engagement!"

- I support you.

The distressed Linxi stood up, "I still have a very important thing to do now. You let Attila come to me alone."

--OK.

Attila's glasses popped up a virtual light screen: [His Highness Attila, the little master wants you to... alone. 】

The second rabbit gave Attila a coordinate, and Attila asked Boer and others to leave the spaceship to him. He drove the spaceship alone and left under the worried gaze of his subordinates.Lin Dong, Lin Nan, Amanda and Newnes wanted to follow, but Attila ordered them to stay put.

The entire Oasis Star is now in a mess, and the Thor's Hammer Legion that fell from the sky has made the already desperate Oasis Star unable to resist at all. Some people have already hugged their heads and made gestures of surrender.

The coordinates given by Ertutu are very far from the central area of ​​Oasis Star.Seen from space, the oasis star is yellow, green, and blue. Blue is water, green is plants, and yellow is sand.In fact, there is another color of Oasis Star, which is silver blue.In space, this silvery blue is negligible, which is enough to explain his tinyness.

After locking the coordinate position, Attila drove the spaceship to break through the atmosphere of Oasis Star and enter space at the highest speed of the spaceship. After flying in space without the speed barrier and limitation of the atmosphere for more than ten minutes, he arrived at the sky above the coordinate position, and then landed rapidly .In less than 10 minutes, Attila flew from one end of Oasis to the other.

It is a silvery blue color.This color is no stranger to Attila, it is exactly the same color as the unknown stone that Fang Tian once gave him.The ground is full of such large and small stones.The spacecraft's console issued a "dididi" alarm sound, and the monitoring screen of the console appeared flickering flickering of signal disturbance.Attila controlled the spaceship to land and walked out of the spaceship.

After stepping off the spaceship, Attila felt a hot wind blowing head-on.He took a few steps forward, and in the distance, a black dot was gradually approaching.When the figure of the black spot gradually became clear in Attila's deep pupils, Attila raised his feet and walked towards the opponent step by step.The jagged silver-blue stones on the ground seemed like nothing to both sides, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer until both sides stopped at the same time, with only one step between them.

Attila is very tall, and his height is one of the best in the empire, which is due to his SS physical fitness.The monster that destroyed the oasis star in an instant stood in front of Attila, and actually bowed his head lower than Attila.It's just because there is a long golden-yellow hard tentacles growing in the middle of the monster's forehead, making her seem as tall as Attila.

At such a close distance, Attila could see the appearance of the monster clearly.The whole body of the monster is golden, without skin, all the muscles, nerve tissue and even the bones of the joints are exposed.But Attila knew that it was just an illusion brought by vision.Because these so-called muscles, nerves, and joints don't have a trace of the warmth that the human body should have—it's cold, scary, and dangerous.

The monster's head is like an insect, with a large compound eye at each end of the tentacles, and two slightly protruding compound eyes at the position of normal human eyes, and two metal balls seem to be stuffed in his mouth.Blame me for tilting my head towards Attila, but suddenly jumped on Attila without warning.Attila's hands held the monster's buttocks very skillfully, the monster's legs clamped Attila's waist, his hands wrapped around his neck, and there was no distance between the two.

The monster's four black compound eyes lit up for a moment, and the monster's icy body confirmed Attila's guess. The skin under the palm was hard and cold, not the soft and warm muscles as it was seen visually.

Neither of them spoke, just hugging each other strangely.So far in Attila's life, she has only hugged one person so intimately, and only allowed one person to hang on his body in such a posture.

The monster jumped into his arms so proficiently, his legs clamped around his waist, and Attila subconsciously supported the monster's buttocks, everything was silent and there was no need to ask or check.

Attila's tightly pursed lips opened: "Linxi."

The monster's eyes flickered and it tilted its head.

"I know it is you."

Blame me for jumping back to the ground from Attila's arms.In front of Attila, the bright silver circular area between the monster's eyebrows emitted a dazzling golden light, and Attila squinted his eyes.The next moment, the pupils of the monster's eyes flashed rapidly, and the body split open, revealing Lin Xi who was "swallowed" by him. The monster took a step back and left Lin Xi, and the split body instantly closed into the appearance of a monster.A black area appeared behind him, and the monster took two steps back into the black area, then the area was closed, and the monster disappeared, leaving only Linxi in place.

Yatila looked down at Linxi, her face was tense, her body was tense, Linxi looked up at Yatila, her blond and soft hair was fluttering with the blazing wind, and her blue eyes were calm , without the usual willfulness and willfulness when facing Attila.This look made Attila frown, and he raised his hand to touch Linxi's eyes.

Lin Xi closed her eyes, and her long curly eyelashes were flicked by Attila's fingers.After a long time, Attila put down her hand and spoke again: "Do you want to explain to me?"

Lin Xi opened her eyes and looked up at Attila, "Do you want to hear it?"

"think."

"can you accept?"

Attila replied truthfully: "I need some time, 'he' is beyond all my cognition of being powerful."

Lin Xi licked her tiger teeth, "I'm going to do something now, it's very important, it's very important to me. I'll explain it to you, but not now. Are you waiting for me here, or are you with me?"

Yatila bent down and held Linxi's hand, "After we have been separated for so many days, I don't think there is any reason for us to separate now. Even if something about you is beyond the range I can accept in a short time .”

Some kind of light flashed in Linxi's eyes, he nodded and withdrew his hand.

"it is good."

Yatila waited for Linxi to say where to go, but Linxi took two steps back, showing him a smile that seemed to be "satisfied", and then, Yatila saw Linxi open his mouth.

"Seven realms."

Attila's eyes visibly widened.The monster that disappeared into the tearing black hole just now emerged from the black hole, split its body, wrapped Linxi from behind, and swallowed him instantly.Attila's pupils shrunk to pinpoints, and Lin Xi in front of him disappeared, replaced by that horrifying monster.

"Attila, take out the 'Black Knight'."

Linxi's voice came out of the monster's mouth—or rather, from within. If it was such a strong contrast, an ordinary person would probably be frightened into schizophrenia.Attila closed his eyes, opened them, and took out his mecha space button from his collar.

The "Black Knight" appeared, and Attila quickly took off his clothes and entered the "Black Knight".Lin Xi picked up Attila's clothes with one hand, grabbed "Black Knight"'s arm with the other, and flew him up.Attila is still unable to flexibly manipulate the "Black Knight", he did not resist, and let Lin Xi lead him to an unknown place.

Lin Xi took Attila and flew deep into the hinterland. On the "Black Knight" console, every button was making chaotic sounds. The "Black Knight" is now completely a set of armor, without any ability to fight at all.There seemed to be some kind of magnetic field here, which seriously interfered with the normal state of the "Black Knight", but it had no effect on Lin Xi at all.

Deep in the hinterland is a huge rift valley. The further you go to the hinterland, the more blue stones there are, and the color of the stones is closer to pure blue.Lin Xi led Attila into the rift, only then did Attila realize that this was not a rift at all, but a wreck of a battleship!

Lin Xi brought Attila to the ground and let him go. He shook his hand at Attila, as if telling him not to come out, and Attila nodded.Seeing that Attila understood what he meant, Lin Xi pointed to Attila's current location, and after Attila nodded again, he turned and walked forward.After walking a few steps, a red light appeared from the tip of the tentacles on Linxi's forehead, and then, the red light turned into a substantial red ray, shooting towards the wreckage not far in front of him.

The wreckage of the warship that fell here for an unknown number of years fell apart under the red rays and became even more fragmented.At this time, the interior of the wreckage was exposed.Lindsay released another red ray, destroying a large piece of the wreckage's shell.Before, Lin Xi used this kind of ray to easily destroy a small spaceship, but the same method was used on the wreckage of this warship, but it only damaged the shell!

Lin Xi jumped in, and Attila stepped forward.After a while, Linxi flew out of it, landed in front of Attila, and knocked on the "Black Knight". The back of the "Black Knight" opened, and Attila came out from inside. Lin Xi handed Attila's clothes over, complaining dissatisfiedly: "The Academy of Sciences is too slow!"

He was referring to Attila's combat uniform.

Attila didn't express his opinion, he put on his clothes and put away the "Black Knight".Lin Xi was still in the monster's body, he hugged Attila's waist with one hand, and flew him into the wreckage, saying: "There is something very important that I need inside, let's go after we get it .”

"Ah."

The air inside was terrible and the lighting was dim.While Lin Xi led Attila forward, he used red rays to destroy the outer structure of the battleship, allowing the hot and dull outside air to pour in.The area had a hot, oppressive feel to it, but Attila could bear it.

As the head of the Thor's Hammer Legion, Attila knows the structure of battleships, spaceships, and starships like the back of his hand.The internal structure of this battleship is different from the battleships he has seen, but he can still judge that the place Lin Xi is going to should be the core area of ​​the wreckage of the battleship, that is, the power room.

It took them more than an hour to reach the power room during Lindsey's violent teardown push.The power room was completely hidden underground. This time Lin Xi didn't use the red ray to open the door of the power room. He stood in front of the door-shaped structure and exited the monster again.He just withdrew, but there was a circular device on his forehead that seemed to be hidden under the skin.Lindsey closed her eyes, and the device began to flash a golden light.Attila took a few steps back, not out of fear, but to avoid disturbing Lin Xi in a state of excessive shock.

A dark blue light floated out from the power room with the closed hatch in front of Lin Xi. Gradually, Lin Xi's body was covered by this dark blue light, and the golden light on his forehead flickered more intensely. At this time, Lin Xi Xi seemed to be absorbing some kind of energy.

Where Lin Xi couldn't see, Attila's eyes also turned dark blue, her brows were tightly knit, and her expression was serious.This kind of Linxi was strange to him.

The whole process lasted a full six hours. While Lin Xi was absorbing energy, the scorching wind outside gradually became cooler.When the blue light stopped floating out, when Lin Xi opened her eyes with a face of comfort, and when the golden light under the skin on Lin Xi's forehead disappeared, the wind outside brought a slight chill.

Lin Xi turned around, stretched her waist greatly, and then gave Attila a satisfied smile.Attila came out of the shadows and walked in front of Linxi.Lin Xi jumped on both feet and jumped onto Attila's body. Attila's hands supported his hips very cooperatively.

"Attila, you have to send someone to remove everything here, including those stones, not a single one can fall."

"it is good."

"You find someone to pick us up, I don't want to move."

As he said that, Lin Xi yawned a lot.I ate too much, I was full, and I was so sleepy.Lin Xi yawned again, and fell asleep just holding Attila like that.

Yatila looked up at the cloudy sky, supported Linxi with one hand, and pressed the terminal.

Thor, in the rest cabin of Attila's legion commander, Lin Xi, who took a bath and had a good meal, slept deeply and soundly.

Inside Thor, all personnel are busy.In the command room, Attila sat in front of the command platform and kept giving instructions and orders one after another.On the Thor, only Lin Xi, who was "recovered safely", was sleeping.

There was chaos on the Oasis planet. Attila had already contacted Philip VIII and sent the Royal Knights to support—not to support the battle, but to support the aftermath.This time is different from the time on Sand Eagle Star. There are only pirates and captured hostages on Sand Eagle Star, but Oasis Star is an independent country with a complete political system; Some survived; and the stones and wreckage of the battleship that Lin Xi asked to take away all required special transport ships.Attila only brought the Thor this time, and the manpower and equipment were completely insufficient.

The Thor's Hammer Legion is too far away from the Oasis, and it is unrealistic to send a large force of the Thor's Hammer Legion, so Attila directly asked Philip VIII to send the Royal Knights.The composition of the personnel on the Oasis is complicated. The 3000 soldiers of the Guards and Guards brought by Attila, 1 of me are on duty on the Thunder God, and another [-] are on duty at the upper star field of the Oasis to prevent people from escaping. Everyone is on the ground.

Lin Xi blew up the oasis star and destroyed the star port, and finally figured out the anger he had been holding back all the way, and he left the mess to Attila without any psychological burden.It's just that whether it's a soldier of the legion or a prisoner under guard on Oasis, everyone's heart is chilled because of that unknown monster that can no longer be described as terrifying.
