Lord Shadow

PANDEMONIUM

BOOM!

An explosion sounded upon the sky of Pandemonium. This time a lot of people look up and they are vigilant.

It was not like before when they were letting their guard down

Something happened to Pandemonium when Death Monarch was not present. Now, there is a sound of something exploding in the sky.

It made all that participated in the event few hours ago jolted back up. They look at the sky with wariness and ready to leap into action. This is their home and they will defend it.

Even though some of the were injured, that did not stop them from raising their arm and wield their weapons. Those who have magician based class is ready to hurl fireballs or magic.

And among them some were even in Seed Formation. The sky seems to hold such threat. They waited for something, for anything to happen.

The citizens watch with bated breath as seconds turns to minutes and they began lower down their guard as they saw none of the Shadow Guards flew to the air and they release a sigh of relief.

‘That explosion was nothing harmful it seems’ many of those people were thinking that. That explosion is actually something else.

But some people in the crowd could feel it. It is those people that sit in the back which did not took up arms.

They were the strongest and they were the first to receive the brunt of the attack which means they were also the strongest

And they smile and then they laugh, like the anxiety and nervousness they felt before is nothing but a lie. Because they know, that person have returned.

When the explosion exploded in the sky, a black blur descended down from the sky and landed gently in the Center Palace grounds.

The dust part ways and the small pebbles and rock floated because of the gravitational pull this person emitted unconsciously

All around the area of that person landing everything seems to lost its principle concept. Rocks floats and dust parted away, and the wind changed direction.

All in all, it is like the area where that person descend seems to be going crazy, altering the very Laws that governs these matter.

Many of the Keepers of the Palace who was there in the area is shocked beyond belief.

Some of them were just returning to the Palace after what happened a few hours ago.

Then as they were resting, some of them sitting on the Pavilion while some other stay on artificial lakes in the palace ground was startled by the sound of someone entering the Center Palace.

And not only this intruder enters the Center Palace without going through the front gate instead this person dares flies over Center Palace and descended down from the sky without any permission or announcement.

They were just about to invoke the name of Death Monarch to that intruder but the moment the dust settles, the rock drops down from the sky, the wind calms down and the person face was revealed, the keeper of the Palace quickly prostrated themselves on the ground in fear.

Sweat formed on their forehead, and their hands are trembling in fear.

The reason why there were so bent out of shape is because the one that has just descended is none other than Death Monarch himself.

There is no doubt in the hearts of this Keepers of the Palace that the person standing in front of them is Death Monarch.

This aura that Death Monarch emanated that seems like he was the Overlord of all creation could not be faked.

It is overbearing and domineering. It is almost like his signature move whenever he arrive. A dramatic entrance.

Azief release his breath, his body did not feel tried at all and his eyes is still clear and his mind are sharp.

He looks at the Keepers of the Palace prostrating in front of him. He could see this person have shifty eyes and have a scent of blood.

He only scoffed and that one Keeper of the Palace felt his Orb exploded inside him as he endures it and no daring to roll around on the ground.

Blood is forcing itself out from that Keeper from his ears and eyes.

Azief then no longer pay attention to that Keeper.

His face is expressionless but the aura emanating from him could pressure normal levelers like the Keeper of the Palace with only his gaze.

‘Move!’ Azief shouted and his voice created a sound wave as the Keepers of the Palace nearest to Death Monarch was hurled backward and smashed into the small boulder

His bones broke in many places as he tries to get up from the rubble. Then he got up and prostrated himself again but he shuts his mouth and did not say even any words of complain.

It is clear to all the Keepers of the Palace that the Death Monarch is now feeling anxious or angry.

Both probably.

It is hard to know what Death Monarch is thinking and the Keeper of the palace that was hurled backward dare not complain when Death Monarch is angry.

Azief ignore that person as he strides forward. His body is full of energy after his transformation.

It was even overflowing

But the people on his shoulder isn’t.

Some of the Keeper of the Palace saw the woman on the shoulders of Death Monarch on his left and right and they gasped in shock.

Then their eyes look at each other, they smile and giggle internally like they discovered some big secret.

They also know that they have quite a juicy gossip to share with the other Keeper of the Palace in other different department.

Some of the keeper of the Palace could understand why Sofia is on Death Monarch shoulder since those two are quite crazy in their antics. It would not surprise them.

The relationship between Death Monarch and Divine Archer Sofia has always been rocky and been on and off on and off.

If there is only Sofia on Death Monarch shoulder, then the Keeper of the Palace might explain it away that those two is engaged in some fighting or some kind of lover’s quarrel and it goes wrong.

But Katarina?

How do you easily explain that? This is not some normal figure in the world. The High Chancellor of the Republic and the strongest woman in the world.

Could it be Death Monarch kidnapped her and wanted to bed her?

That doesn’t seem probable considering Death Monarch personality that seems like he was above the world.

And if he really just wants to fuck Katarina, the keeper of the palace think it would be easier just to ask.

If Azief knew what those Keeper of the palace was thinking they would surely be turned to dust with a wave of his hand by now.

Because the Keeper of the Palace have accustomed themselves living under the safety of the Center Palace under the foot and eye of Death Monarch, their spare time was wasted in idling in gossipy conversation.

Of course not all of the Keeper of the palace is like this. But the Keeper of the Palace that was lazing around in this area is clearly that type.

Some of the Keepers even envied Death Monarch luck with women. To hold two girls in one hand, how bold!

And one of them is even the woman dubbed the most beautiful woman in the world. And judging from her face that reputation is not in vain.

Katarina even in an unconscious state managed to look beautiful. Just seeing her weak, makes men wanted to protect her.

Azief however did not find his position enviable at all. Azief was hoping someone was in the infirmary.

Azief stride forward and as he walks every Keeper that saw him bow and dares not meet his eyes as he keeps walking.

It is not that he could not fly to that area but because he needs a little bit of time to stabilizes the condition of these two girls.

Even Azief did not understand their complication and he doesn’t want to do something that might adversely affected them in a negative way

Katarina overexerted herself but her injury is more than just overexerting her energy. The wound is just superficial and is not worthy of great worry.

It is what is going inside her body right now that requires attention.

There is a potent cold energy inside her body that seems to be freezing her body from inside out.

Azief noticed this when he picks up Katarina from the ground after his battle with the Will of the World.

the moment when he touched Katarina felt the cold trying to invade his body. But it turns into some wisp of energy before it even had the chance to try to freeze him.

The pure energy inside Azief body is like a natural enemy for that energy in Katarina body.

Her body seems to emanate a cold that is out of this world. If not for the nine energies in Azief body suppressing it, this cold might spread to every place she is in.

And if not for Azief burning vital force and channeling it to coursing through her body right now, Katarina might suffer even more.

Even now the coldness that is inside her body seems eager to materialize into the real world and try to freeze Katarina and her surroundings.

But how could it truly consume Katarina as long as Azief keep supplying her with his vitality?

And Azief also have to be careful not to supply too much unless he wanted to see Katarina to suffer even more

Azief could now channel energy from each part of his body. Even now, as she is on his shoulders, energy was transferred to her

As long as he did that he could contain the cold energy.

Sofia on the other hand is even weirder.

Her entire energy seems to be sharp in nature and seems to be attacking Sofia body cutting her source of energy and slowly ravaging her internal organs severing arteries and veins like Sofia ins on a butcher block and is being dissected slowly and painfully.

Azief uses the Time energy inside him to reverse the energy that was severed thus restoring it back.

But there is still that sharp cutting storm that is trying to ravage and destroy Sofia body from the inside.

Both of their condition need him to at least tide it first before he could think of a more permanent solution.

***

Huh. This chapter might seem like Azief recollecting his feeling but it also reveals a few secret of Azief past and also at the same time would relate heavily to the end chapter of this arc.

Huh. I have been talking about writing the end of this chapter from about two months ago. But it is still not ending. I know how it should end but somehow there is always something more that needs to be explained. And this is just one of the true beginning arcs of the story.

I will be explaining the chronology of events in Lord Shadow in the next chapter so you all could refresh your memory of how many arc we must go through before this story ends.

Of course I will only mention events that Loki has already mentions in his monologue and his internal thought that was revealed to the readers already.

And like you all know you should not trust too much of Loki memory considering he is beginning to forgetting things.

Anyway, like always I hope you like the story and please vote for it. Maybe near the end of the chapter there will be a mass release. Anyway, today is a double chapter so give me some gifts if you can.
