Lord Shadow

But by serving in the Palace of the Death Monarch, n.o.body dares to make trouble with them even though they were high ranking officers.
It is the fox borrowing the might of the tiger.
The Keepers of the Palace glance toward the two guest and saw that they do not kneel and they shake their heads.
By now, the Keepers of the Palace know what the Death Monarch wanted to do by releasing such monstrous energy emanations.
Even now thinking about that pressure made the Keepers of The Palace felt chill in their backs. The majesty and grandeur of the energy made everyone feel as insignificant as dust.
The two person body seems to be trembling and their Disk is furiously resisting the pressure with all of their might.
They were like fireflies trying to compete with the moon. The footsteps sound slowly coming closer.
The crowd could hear the heavy footsteps that seem to be shaking the world with each step. The energy force of Death Monarch makes them feel like this.
Each of these footsteps seems to be treading on their hearts. Then a silhouette had clearly emerged from behind the Throne.
The strongest man in the world, Death Monarch finally shows his face.
The moment his figure appeared inside that Throne Room, he instantly became the center as energy seems to be drawn to him, making him like the pillars of the world.
He loomed like a G.o.d in the center of the Throne Room and the atmosphere instantly turned solemn and dark
In this moment, it was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop but the energy that is emanating from Azief becomes even more intense.
It was like a powerful energy waves that is undulating all around the room as both Narleod and Warp is gritting their teeth, looking at Azief venomously.
Azief smirks a bit.
He was wearing his usual black attire, and coming out of him was the red and black aura that seems to be full of killing intent that could a.s.sault the heavens.
This is the Demonic Energy or the Infernal Energy.
His face is slightly hidden by the black hood that covered the top part of his face.
When he arrived, that storm of energy did not dissipate but intensify even more.
He looks at the two people standing defiantly trying to overcome the pressure that is coming out of his room.
There were like a small boat in front of a powerful stormy wave.
On the other corner of the throne room, he could see all of his Keepers of the Palace kneel and all of them do not dare to look him in the eyes for fear of offending him.
Azief eyes glints dangerously as he put his gaze back at those two people. Narleod the leader of the League of Freedom and Warp the Teleporter.
Both of them have connection with him.
Narleod tried to plot against him in the Fake World by pitting him with the Seven Fairy of the Plains.
And he still did not pay for that. Azief was too preoccupied with his other problem at that time to seek this person who he views as nothing but a cowardly turtle.
Warp on the other hand once clashed with Will and could be considered an enemy of Will. But Azief contrary to his feeling or Narleod admire this person.
Everyone knows that Warp is loyal. A loyal person like him…..unfortunately loyal to such a person.
And he also admires a person that could force Will into such a disadvantageous position. He knows Will.
He knows his powers so to think there is such a person that could force him like that to even runs to other worlds to escape Warp, it fills Azief with a weird feeling.
If this was anyone else, with the squint of his eyes he could throw them back. But both Narleod and Warp is also Disk Formation experts.
And their Disk seems to be unique in itself that it even attract his attention.
When Azief uses his pressure towards Warp, that man seems to be able to manipulate the s.p.a.ce around him to teleport some of that energy to some other places
To what places he didn"t know but he could sense that his energy was cut off. But even though Warp could do that he could not teleport all of his energy.
This shows that Warp has fine control of his energy and Disk.
Narleod on the other hand when his energy reaches him, some of the energy was deflected and flies to other places, free from his control.
It was truly perplexing.
Azief look at them, his eyes clearly shows he is displeased.
He walks the steps to this throne and stand before his throne and the turns his body to face those two people that are still defiantly not kneeling.
Azief only said one word, and his word echoes inside the Palace, scaring the s.h.i.+t out of everyone from the kitchen to the Great Hall.
"Impudent!"
The moment this voice comes out from his mouth, Azief infused Infernal Energy inside it.
That energy embedded itself in the sound and it was filled with killing intent that could induce fear in one hearts especially anyone weaker than him
Everyone inside the Palace felt a s.h.i.+ver of fear that came from the depths of their hearts.
Azief was standing in front of the throne; his eyes did not leave from looking at those two.
Those two were the one that got the brunt of the energy.
Warp Disk nearly crack but he managed to teleport that force elsewhere while Narleod manage to free some of Azief energy from his control and force them to deflect from him.
Even though what Azief is doing is humiliating them they could not do anything.
Even though outside Narleod is arrogant and tyrannical, doing as he pleased all over the world, he still has to look who he was doing these things to.
In front of the Death Monarch, even if one gives Narleod even more guts he would not dare to act recklessly or even reprimand or shouted towards the Death Monarch in anger.
Azief anger slowly rise
"You two are still stubborn! Do you think this place is your Storm Tide! Kneel!!" The force of his voice trembles the Earth as both Warp and Narleod unconsciously kneels.
They kneel and they look at Azief in anger. Azief slowly took a seat on his throne, disregarding their looks.
Then he ask
"Are you angry?" His voice rang out from above, expressing neither anger nor joy.
Narleod was about to say something but think better of it and shake his head
"Death Monarch, I do not dare" His expression shows that he had different emotion.
But Azief did not pursue it. Only his cold eyes seem to be showing some admiration.
Narleod just a moment ago was about to shout and curse only to quickly felt something was wrong at the last minute.
He found out a foreign energy entering his body that is inducing him to go mad. Fortunately he noticed it early and frees that energy from his body.
This is why Azief look at him with those eyes. He didn"t think Narleod could easily dispel that Infernal Energy from his body so fast.
This is because that is infernal energy.
Demonic energy causes people that have never experienced it before to be controlled easily by emotions like anger and wrath, making a person impulsive.
Narleod face is now pale white and fraught with terror.
Beads of sweat the size of beans dropped to the ground, as he instantly become drenched. Azief then look at Warp and ask, his finger tapping the handle of his throne
"Warp, are you angry?" Warp on the other hand is calmer than Narleod. He shakes his head and said
"We forgot our etiquette. We are at other people lands; we should have followed the rules. This time it is our fault" Azief only nodded but his expression was like always expressionless.
No one seems to know what he thinks or scheming.
And no one dares offer an opinion. All was quiet in the Throne Room. Narleod look at the Death Monarch and think to himself.
Too powerful!
It was only after he faces the might of the Death Monarch face to face he knew why Hirate fears this person so much and why this man is the headache for the World Government.
This person was so much powerful than he could have ever imagined. It was like the Death Monarch sitting there on his throne is holding up the world.
It is simply impossible to perceive the Death Monarch limits of power. What is the upper limit of his strength?
This is a powerful enemy that even Narleod with his penchant for battle, war and chaos dread to face.
"Since that is the case, speak while kneeling" the voice was not loud or soft but it rang out on both of Warp and Narleod ears imbued with a majestic might.
Azief then gesture one of the Keepers that escorted him as he was given a doc.u.ments. In that doc.u.ment was the picture of a few things that have caught his attention.
It was the picture of an alien like being. Then he tossed it to the floor, as that doc.u.ment landed just a few inches from the kneeling Narleod and Warp
Azief eyes were cold. Then he ask his voice was deep and contains an immeasurable majesty
"Now, explain"
**************************************************************************
Today it is clear that many factions will not be at ease in their headquarters. Especially after the explosive news of what happened in Pandemonium reached their table.
The whole world was shocked.
From the beginning of the arrival of Storm Tide to the end where they will meet and discuss some matters, the whole world waited and watches as Storm Tide contacted Pandemonium and meet with the Death Monarch.
Whatever they said was a secret but what was shocking was how Narleod, the leader of the League of Freedom look after he exited the Centre Palace of Pandemonium.
The White Owl reported the news just hours after they saw the shocking scene.
Narleod entire right arm were taken from him, his body seems to have burns marks and blood covered him.
Beside him Warp is not any better. Both of them seem to be beaten. But they seem to leave Pandemonium safely.
The crowd looks toward the Centre Palace with even more dread almost like it was a forbidden place.
Narleod immediately return to his Island and activated all of their magical weapons.
People said the blood is till dripping as he walks the road to return to Strom tide. He did not explain what happened in that Throne Room and no one dare ask
Then he retreated from Pandemonium, his four tortoise moves and the waves followed him, bringing with him the fog and the mist
The waves of the ocean ripples and slowly the silhouette of the four tortoises disappeared from the sea of Pandemonium
The world was perplexed.
If the Death Monarch wanted to kill Narleod why didn"t he pursue? Why didn"t he finish the job? And why doesn"t Narleod retaliate at all.
Instead they just left?
What did they talk about and why was Narleod arm was taken from him?
Why was Warp the Teleporter got beat up? There are too many questions. There seems to be a cloud of mystery surrounding this matter.
Inside the Throne Room of the Palace of Pandemonium, on the center of the Throne Room is a bleeding arm looking extremely hideous.
Blood could also be seen tainting the white floor. Burns marks could be seen on the pillars of the room.
Azief look at the Keeper of the Palace and said
"Clean it up" The Keepers of the Palace all were startled and immediately they got up from their prostrating position and quickly clean it up.
Even though some of them were not brave enough, but as their every action is being watched by such a powerful person even courage they did not have before manifested.
After all after that simple execution the Death Monarch has done how could these Keepers of the palace not fear him more than just some decapitated arms and blood?
Azief is still sitting on his throne thinking of the information he had.
"I didn"t think that it came out form that finger." Azief of course remember.
When he was temporarily usurping the Will of the World, he uses the Rings of Eternal to summon things he could not ordinarily summons.
And while he could not see the things he summoned but he could feel it because of the connection with the ring.
But the video node that Narleod gave him recorded that scene from s.p.a.ce.
Azief himself was shocked.
No wonder even with the Will of the World helping him he could not summon that creature.
Gigantic as it was, even if he manages to summon that creature out, he might not be able to control it.
The Rings of Eternal is powerful and the Rings of Great Summoning could summon many things.
He after all had summoned Steed of Abigor, the semi skeletal winged horse and Marchosias, a wolf like creature with a head of wolf with gryphon wing and serpent tail
With this summons alone Azief could be considered leading a squads of monsters.
But they are still a little bit weaker than him enabling him to control them from wreaking havoc and chaos.
But that finger, just the finger alone distorts the s.p.a.ce around the stars. The finger was so large that one could see clearly the s.p.a.ce dust on its surface of the skins.
The devilish wind energy that shrouded it devours the stars and severs Universal Laws. What makes Azief even more shocked was how Narleod got this footage.
After all, that finger did not appear in the Milky Way galaxy.
It is clear form what he saw, that finger appears in another galaxy. A farther and more distant galaxy.
A Dark Galaxy that seems to be inhabited by monster like creatures.
But Narleod could still get the footage. The League of Freedom is more mysterious than what he thought.
But he saw the World Net preventing that finger from entering. And he knows it is the power of the World Orb that forces that finger to turn back.
It was then he could see the undulation of the demonic energy from the portal the finger then shoot out a dark lightning from the tips of its nail before the portal closes.
And it was that….that brings that alien on Earth and what probably the reason why there is an alien fleet that is slowly heading to Earth.
"I need to check on this. I need to make sure." The sight of that alien devouring a village and turning it into sand is still in Azief head.
Then he sighs.
"There is also the matter of the Oracle." Azief do not know what to with this personage. He had no grievance with the Oracle but he also did not like her presence in his dominion
And then he needs to check the Temple. Whether it was really the Temple that Will seeks or another mysterious temple that possess mystical power.
He once again releases a sigh.
But his eye is bright and full of determination. He wanted to leave all of this matter and focus on refining the other sabers to quickly raise his strength but the world would not let him.
All of this matter must be handled by him personally. He then got up from his throne and return to his Private Room.
The Palace Gate was closed in the evening, and no one is to enter without permission.
And while this is happening in Pandemonium, something else is happening in other parts of the world
SOMEWHERE IN SWITZERLAND.
The s.p.a.ce around a mountain in Switzerland is suddenly experiencing a rip in s.p.a.ce.
Boundless energy comes out from the rip and then someone jump out from the portal wearing a shabby clothes.
"Huish. That was close. Teacher sometimes is too reckless by just hurling me through s.p.a.ce and time like that"
Then he looks at his left and right and smiles. He has returned.
Smelling the fresh air and the breezy wind of Earth, that man laugh.
"Finally. It has been so long. I"ve returned!" the man shouted to the world. It was like he just went out of a prison .
He then look at the sky and take a deep breath.
"What should I do first?" the man said to himself. The wind keep blowing towards him and his body is generating heat to counter the cold.
Heat seems to comes naturally for him
"There is a lot to do. I need to seek the other Temple to. If Teacher is not mistaken, then there is another one here."
He said to himself.
"But I think should visit my brother first" Saying this he make sure he is presentable as lightning covered him and change his clothes to a purple tight attires shrouded with purple lightning.
And then he took one steps and lightning burst from his nutria being. His feet spew electricity arcs and then he moves forward.
And the moment he moves, the s.p.a.ce area around him distorted and time around him spirals, changing, no, disturbing the Laws of s.p.a.ce Time around him.
That person breaks the speed of sound in below a second.
Lightning bursted out and that person traveled in the fastest speed ever in recorded history in the world; bring up electrical storms in the few rare moment where he stop just for a second.
The Purple Speedster has returned. Loki was at the bottom of the sea at that time, overlooking a huge Golden temple on the bottom of the sea as he sighed. But then he smiles.
He has prepared himself this time. He then jumped out from the sea and floats on top of the oceans sky.
He then said to himself
"Now, it seems everyone that is integral in the Time Crisis Event is about to gather in the same place. Death Monarch Azief, the Purple Speedster Will and the Great Oracle Erika, the three figure that started the Time Crisis."
He then just like always smiles that mysterious smile and flew away.
