Lord Shadow

SOMEWHERE ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF PANDEMONIUM

Around the southern side of Pandemonium there is a large luxurious residence.

Outside that residence is soldier from Wang Jian Army guarding the place with tight security that it rivaled the security in many restricted places in Pandemonium.

It is not only luxurious on the outside, it is also luxurious on the inside.

There is beautiful works of arts on the interior design of the residence, and there are large gardens with small lakes around the large and expansive residence

When it is spring, the flowers in the gardens would bloom and its petal leaves of flowers would fly off from this residence and covered the courtyards and the road in front of the large residence

It is a residence where many people look up with respect and awe. If one looked at the Centre Palace in the middle of Pandemonium one would feel more than just awe and respect.

They would also feel fear.

Because living there is the overlord of the land who determine their lives and death.

But here in the southern side of Pandemonium is the residence of the woman who possessed the hearts of Wang Jian.

Wang Jian, the General Wang Jian of the Southern Suppressing General is well liked by the people. He is honorable, loyal and possess the heart to care for the people.

While it is true that the Central Government could order the other regions in Pandemonium, one knows that each of the General of the Army all held their own courts in their residence

The Southern Court is ruled by Wang Jian and the Western Court is ruled by Athena and her army while the Eastern and Northern part of Pandemonium is control by the Central Government

While the one that controlled the feared Berserker, is the Flying Tiger Cavalry General Freya.

General Freya on the other hand did not establish any courts and instead roams down the eastern and northern part of Pandemonium fighting monster and carousing with her army.

They are like wandering bands of mercenaries as they are even said to empty any taverns they arrived at.

They are a boisterous bunch, sometimes unruly but rarely they did anything that is over the line. They could be considered honest to their nature but since Freya is there, she is holding the reins to this soldiers

There is also the fact that Freya is not as politically acute like Athena or have a caring heart like Wang Jian that enables her to form her own courts. She herself is not interested in forming her own court.

But she also has her own good qualities.

She is a good soldier and an even more a good general and done her job perfectly, protecting the people from monster incursion and executed any bad influence she found in her journey.

With her riding her armored Pegasus, no one would dare to stop her march as she toured the land.

Of course unless there is an extenuating circumstances she is not allowed to let that Pegasus fly in the Central Region.

That is the hallowed ground of Pandemonium. You could teleport to the edges of the Central Region border but not directly to it.

And there are hundreds of measures to make sure that won’t happen. As another merchant caravan passed though that large residence in the South, they slowed their carriages.

The merchants only have one carriages but that carriages are fitted with space enchantment making it be able to store a warehouse full of food or any other stuff

As the merchant look at that residence, the merchants felt at ease.

Because the person residing in that residence are in good relationship with all three of the General of the Army and as long as there is nothing bad happening, the southern region would be peaceful.

The one inside the residence is none other than Somi the Fairy of the Battlefield. On the courtyard full of flower leaves fallings, she is swinging her swords, in a dance like movements.

It is graceful like a swan and the movement of the sword moves fluidly, while her foot movements seems to be calm and orderly creating some kind of harmony between the movement of the sword and the movement of her body.

Wind swirled around her feet, swept the falling leaves into a swirl of mini whirlwind around her feet and energy envelope her entire body, reminiscent of a sharp straight sword ready to pierce the sky and reach the stars.

She is not sweating and she doesn’t seem like she is going to stop practicing. It has been hours and she kept swinging her sword, like she gained some enlightenment.

She is practicing something as she could feel more energy of the world and even from beyond it enter her body.

It is an addicting feeling and she felt like she could absorb more and more energy the more she practices.

Her Seven Disks that looks like exploding star in her consciousness expand and keep expanding almost infinitely each time she practices this move, creating a vast universe full of stars in her Inner World

This fact must be shocking if it is revealed to the world.

People always thought that the person who have the most Disks below Death Monarch is the other heroes that fought with Death Monarch in the South Pacific Ocean.

What if they found out that they were wrong?

That this woman who is primarily known as the lover of Wang Jian actually possessed Seven Disks and not only that, she is also able to hide her progress from the world.

In other words, this woman who was overshadowed by the glowing lights of Katarina the Ice Queen and Sofia the Divine Archer might even surpassed those two women in both power and Disks

She looked concentrated and her eyes seems to be glowing as bright as the stars in the sky.

Her movement becomes faster and faster yet each time it becomes even more in line with the energy of the world.

It was like she was merging with the world, but at the same time remaining incongruous with it all at the same time.

If Azief is described as defying the Heavens and reject Heaven Powers, then Somi is stealing the energy of the Heavens

She is not borrowing it, she is stealing it and making it part of her own power, making herself sharper and sharper like a sword being tempered in heat stove.

While she is concentrating in her training in the middle of the courtyard with flower petals falling and leaves that is whirling all over her like some kind of protective swirling shield, the servants that is standing on the edges of the flower courtyard look at their Miss with worried expression.

While the older experienced maid servants are looking worried looking at their lady, the new maidservants who is composed mainly of orphaned children and all young in age, is fascinated by the beautiful nature and gardens in the residence.

They saw the flower filling the garden path and courtyard path, the petals sways in the wind, the bird of various colors perched on the many branches of the many trees in the residence creating a heavenly scene

This place is like a residence for the immortals, being able to make one heart calm and serene.

Some of the young children who have a maidservant uniform too big for her, crouched and as she looks at the older maidservant who is just looking at the lady, and after making sure that the Head Servant would not see her, she touched the water in the river near the courtyard and she smiles and almost laughed.

She saw fishes in the river and thought to herself that at night she would ask her fellow maidservants to accompany her catching some fish.

As Somi keep practicing this new movement and as her sword movement becomes faster and faster and the energy inside her body becomes even more solidified.

Unconsciously she remembers what happens again last night.

She dreams again. Nowadays, each time she slept she would have a dream. And in each of that dreams, she would be visited by that strange man in her dreams.

She didn’t like it. But the man gives her this technique as proof of his sincerity. This was not the first time that strange man helped her.

And he said he could help her in reviving back her sisters.

It was an offer she couldn’t really reject outright. The moment she practices the technique it resonated with her Disks.

The Seven Disk was also formed because of that strange man help.

She is feeling conflicted. She felt like there is a catch somehow. And she still didn’t understand what that strange man means by creating a road.

A road? A road for what? And for whom?

Inside the residence as the servants is worried about their lady, outside the residence the people all prostrated outside the residence and around the path and road leading to the residence.
