The sound of footsteps was drowned by the sound of the many insect chirping inside this forest.Sometimes one could hear the sound of some beast roaring or shrieking in the distance.
Two people walk around this dangerous forest like it was a relaxing walk in the park. On the distance away from them one could spot gigantic elephants horde that is moving every few minutes, eating trees that reached the clouds in one mouthful.
But such sight did not scare these two people at all as the man keep on walking and the woman followed him from behind.
The woman is not sacred because there is not more reliable and safest place to be other than beside this man in front of her
The man is Death Monarch and the woman behind him is shrouded in silver hood. The woman walks slowly behind Azief as he keeps looking all around him.
He nodded as she takes a slow deep breath. It has not been long since she landed here and she immediately waited around the cave entrance to see him
"It is a beautiful forest. It is even more beautiful than I expected" The woman nodded in agreement
"It truly is Your Excellency" the woman said. Azief nodded.
"The Amazon forest. It was burned down before. Glad to see it rises back up after the Fall" Azief said remembering the event of the past before the Fall
The woman smiles and nodded.
Azief keep looking around him, his Divine Sense is sensing everything in this forest. He could sense many lives in this forest.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
He could sense large monsters hiding under some deep lakes and under the rivers and gigantic snake slithering underneath some caves.
He could sense man eating plants and energy veins all around here. This is a fertile place, teeming with life.
"No one seems to come here to disturb me. This is highly unusual. I thought there would be a few brave but stupid souls that will try to attack me before I could become stronger. It seems I overestimated them"
The woman smiles and then she said
"I have told the League of Freedom not to disturb you. They even take the task to try to protect this forest from any intruders. Though I doubt they do this out of the kindness of their hearts"
"They know I"m here. That is interesting" Azief said smirking a bit
The woman replied yes.
"You don"t think that they would do anything to me?" Azief asked the woman
The woman scoffed a bit and then she asks Azief
"Do Your Excellency believe they have the guts?"
Azief chuckles a bit and nodded in agreement. Thinking about it, Narleod had to pay with his arm the last time Narleod displeased him.
While it would not rein in his manic tendencies, Azief knows people who fear him with one glance. And Narleod fears him.
That is enough to know the kind of moves he would do when he is around him. Fear sometimes could serve as an important tool.
Narleod fears him not because only of his might. Because Narleod knew that in the eyes of Death Monarch he is no different than those sc.u.mbags he killed.
Making him entirely worthless under the gaze of Death Monarch if not for the information he has about the Temple of Speedsters.
After all, Azief would not get the t.i.tle of Death Monarch and for it to be his name because he is nice.
He might give that nickname to himself, but his action cemented the nickname to the rest of the world.
Then Azief was reminded of something
"South America Continent is under them right now right? Have they ruled it well since the meeting between the Seven Great Powers?"
The woman frowned a bit and then she reported
"Internal wars are brewing everywhere, Your Excellency, here and everywhere else. The Africa Alliance is the worst of it as they are practically a secret war against each of their own factions. Of course they did not wage war like before but politically they are trying to take down each other. It is a mess there" Azief shake his head.
He still felt quite awkward to be addressed as Your Excellency. He turned towards the woman and shake his head at the woman walking behind him.
"Sasha, it is only two of us here. You can drop the formalities"
Sasha look at Azief for a few seconds and then she nodded
The woman waiting for Death Monarch to come out from his seclusion is none other than the leader of the Shadow Guards, Sasha of the Nightingales.
Then Azief resumes walking.
A large poisonous toad jumped out and tries to attack him. Azief smiles looking at as he only flicks his finger and the air compresses on the edge of his finger as it shoots out towards the toad body as it exploded into an explosion of blood and gore.
The blood did not even reach him and Sasha as he keeps walking calmly.
That monster is the equivalent of Seed Formation Peak realm but Azief only use the edge of his fingertips to kill it.
Sasha seeing this from behind knows that while Death Monarch is not emanating any force or pressure right now, has grown even more stronger.
The feeling as she is walking with him is like she is walking behind nothing.
If she did not know the person she is talking with is Death Monarch, she must have thought that this person in front of her is just a normal person.
It is like all of his energy and power is hidden inside him, exploding only when it is the right moment.
"Why have you come here now? I thought Pandemonium is busy right now?" Azief said as he walks through a bush
"There are some talks that you are going to leave"
Azief smiles bitterly and nodded
"You know this already. It is not exactly a secret" Sasha nodded
"I know. Could you tell me when will you depart?" She clearly did not beat around the bush. Azief steps halted and then he ponders it for a moment and then said
"In a week, probably" Then he keeps on walking again.
"Hmm" Sasha said as she herself began thinking.
Azief did not have to look behind to know she is frowning
"Worrying about Pandemonium?" He asks
"Since the owner doesn"t want to worry about it, it falls to this humble servant to worry about it." Hearing Sasha words Azief chuckles.
"Are they all excited that I am going to leave?" Azief said but his eyes s.h.i.+ne with sharpness and killing intent.
Sasha understand what Death Monarch means by saying all. It means those dark forces that fears Death Monarch.
And of course those crime families and not excluding the Republic and the World Government
"Very" Sasha replied shortly. Azief only smiles when listening to this. He could guess that what"s would happen.
No one really like someone that keep pressuring them after all.
"They want the storm to stop so they could see the sun once again. While some rats wanted to go to the surface again and breathe the fresh air. You leaving would make them very happy. So happy that they probably would wish you would never return" Sasha added with a snickering smile.
Azief nodded hearing Sasha report
He then resumes his walking and Sasha once again follows him in silence. Then as they are pa.s.sing through a creek Azief ask
"Loki?" He asks. Sasha knows this is a loaded question.
"He is healed and pretty much healthy now."
"And what did he do after he is healed?"
