Lord Shadow

Chapter 406: Scheming in the dark (4)

The sky trembles and the wind changed direction as the clouds parted and reveal someone flying on the sky of Pandemonium.

The people on the market that is buying and selling things could hear the sonic boom from the distance and as they look up, they saw a black dot cutting through the clouds as they could see even the air ion the sky seems to become heavier.

Some of them even prostrate themselves and those people coming to the Temple of Death were even more touched.

The airspace of Pandemonium is restricted unless it was an emergency.

There is even an array unground powered by the many energy veins all around Pandemonium to restrict intruders from entering.

But it seems that the array clearly didn’t treat the person flying as an enemy.

It is because of that and the aura that is spreading out that all the people of the Pandemonium look up at the sky with awe and a little bit of fear.

Because Death Monarch has returned.

And the world thundered.

***

Azief descended down upon the Palace Throne Room as the ceiling opened up for him.

His arrival was announced and relayed by Sasha already so the Keepers of the Palace were ready for his arrival.

He slowly descended down as the wind around him calms down and the aura around him slowly dissipated.

But he clearly seems like some kind of an immortal otherworldly being as even when his energy is suppressed the kind of presence he emitted is like he is the light in a dark tunnel

The moment he descended down someone open up the door of the Throne Room and Azief smiles.

His feet touched the ground and the space and Time around it slowly wrinkles and ripples like a stone was thrown into a calm lake.

He then finally landed as the ceiling above his head slowly closed itself back. The clouds above calms down and the wind blows it gentle breeze once again.

Then the door was opened and someone appeared. The man looks at Azief with a smile and Azief look back at him with his own smile.

‘It has been a long time brother’ the young handsome man said to Azief and Azief nodded. Azief could instantly recognize that this man is none other than Loki

He knew that Loki would not come to greet him unless it was for something important.

He thought to meet her first but he guesses that there is something wrong for Loki to seems so anxious right now.

He sat down on his throne and the moment he sat down one could feel the power that oozes out of him.

It was like there is not one more perfect to sit in that throne other than him. Loki look at Azief and said

‘You look good’

Azief smirk, his eye looking down from his high throne

‘Well, you don’t look too shabby either’ Loki laughed.

Then he approached Azief stepping into the step leading to the Throne and then when he is close enough he said

‘I need to talk about something with you. There was a lot going on when you went into seclusion. And I don’t want you to make a mistake handling it.’

Azief nodded as he gestures for Loki to continue. Then he began recounting some of the matters that

At the same time, movement could be felt all over Pandemonium. The return of Death Monarch is like the shaking of an earthquake.

Everyone is getting ready

All over Pandemonium, officials dressed up, and wear their officials robes to greet the lord of this land.

The Three Generals who are all at their residence and their region all stood up. Azief when he came he spread out his might and aura.

The Heavens tries to resist it but after it terrible loss against him last time his Will occupied some of the Heaven Powers.

For one brief moment, his power swept by and the entire Pandemonium were frozen in shock.

Even the people on the street could felt it and some of them even cheer.

Death Monarch has returned.

The moment he returned, White Owls flies into the clouds as news of his return would surely be relayed to all forces of the world.

Death Monarch has exited his seclusion and this is the final hour. Everyone would like to see what he would do before he leaves.

General Wang Jian wear his armor, and put his Ruyi Jingu Bang behind his back as he flies off into the air with his Cloud Walking Boots.

Somi look at the clouds with worried expression as she only sighed as she returns to her room.

In the Western Mountains Athena was startled when she felt the energy washed over her. She was leaning against a tree resting after a particularly difficult hunt.

Behind her, is her soldiers is skinning the dead meat of a gigantic bird. It is a Three Horned Griffin.

The Griffin ate a Weronian and evolve becoming stronger and becoming a threat.

with each of the flaps of its wing it could create storms. And that monster has been wreaking havoc on the western part of Pandemonium.

The mayor of the city of Rueben send a distress call to the Western Garrison so Athena quickly mobilized her soldiers as she fought the Three Horned Griffin in the sky.

That battle took her three hours.

Most of it is because she had to make sure that the wind did not reach the civilians and the cities and villages nearby.

If not she could have ended the battle faster.

And she was just about to take a nap when this energy swept pass over her. She got up almost immediately and her weird behavior is caught by her commanders

‘My lady, what seems to trouble you?’ she frowned and said

‘Death Monarch has returned’ The entire upper echelon of her army was frozen for a second before a frown appeared on their faces.

Death Monarch has returned and nobody knows what is going on in his mind and how would he react if he knows what happened in the past few months.

The Myrmidon Army has been loyal to Death Monarch but they are certainly not loyal to the Central Government.

They just fear that their General would be seen as disloyal. One of the Commander bend his knees and said

‘General, since Death Monarch has returned, let us accompany you to meet him’ Athena looking at her subordinate smiles bitterly and said

‘I know what you are thinking but if Death Monarch want to kill me, he would not have summoned me like this. He purposefully let the whole Pandemonium knows he is returning. I guess maybe Sasha told him what has happened.’

She sighed and then she continues

‘I must return to the Court and pay my respects. And if brought you, that means I don’t trust him. And if he actually trusts me, then seeing you might change that opinion’

She smiles bitterly and added

‘He could get by not playing the game we play but I am weak compared to him so I have to watch my actions. And who knows what he thought about our actions?’

He would certainly not be happy one of the commanders said.

their Army create their own court just like Wang Jian has his own Court on the Southern Part of Pandemonium.

Most of the time the Western Court, the Southern Court and the Central Government stay out of each other business.

But a few months ago, there is an altercation between Athena faction in the court and Sina faction.

To say it is an altercation is an understatement

There was a murder in the Capital City and it shocked the entire Central Government.
