Nine to Harvest I

The shock of what happened spread through the whole war to every Grand Lord who was fighting, be it Grimm or humans, and some powerhouses with high enough access.

In the central command, Lord Whitmore's whole body shook, and he nearly fell down and would have, if not for Marina, stopped him. 

She too is shocked, but not as much as he and Grand Lords; she knew her student and lover enough secrets not to get shocked as this, but still killing nine Grimms at once is quite a shocking thing to do, even for a Michael.

"Seventeen of yours have been killed, Rhaek. Do you want to say something?" taunted the old woman; till now, it was taunting her, and now, it is her turn.

Rhaek did not reply; it was truly shocked. It was not expected Zaar to appear; it thought the old snake had dealt with him, and even if it were not killed, it would be good as killed with parts of the old snake inside him.
