Lord Shadow

Borgan is from the House of Gan and so is Asargan. Come to think of it, most of the lore that he reads about Etherna has many names that have this Gan last name.

Asargan. Reorgan. Borgan. They are the members royal house of Etherna. That is what Azief concluded after shifting through the information that enters his mind

Then Azief look at another symbol and he saw Borgan again this time.

Borgan is using planet as his crystal ball to look into the future. 

And the planet that she chose is very large but to her it appears to be like the size of a normal crystal ball that is used by two bits’ fortune teller 

Azief was eager to read the other name on the gate but then he felt his energy was drained for him and he suffer some headaches.

Azief clutch his head and he knows that each images and each name seems to drain him of his power

It is like trying to see the face of god. 

There is a price. In that moment where he looks at the image of Lorevor, his element of thunder was energized and undergoes a complete qualitative change

When he looks at Borgan, there is this connection that was established between him and the dimension of time.

He could feel strings attached itself to his left eye. The string of the past, the strings of the future and the strings of fate and destiny.

In that brief moment, it was almost like he could see everything about the future. 

That feeling is not wrong. This gate had certain power that seems to have beneficial effect for him beyond then just to know the history of the Etherna

He had felt it when he read the symbols.

Azief was eager to read another name on that gate but that impatience leads him to feel this draining sensation as he almost kneel down in front of that gate

But he stomps his feet. The blue clouds seem to roils and the entire trail seems to crack. Azief refuse to kneel

This is just a feeling. But he did not like kneeling in front of that gate. There is defiance in him, a fire that could not be extinguished

It is this defiance that causes him to stomp his feet. It is the flames that gives him such an unyielding attitude toward everything around him

Azief might not walk the same path as Azul. But he sure as hell was affected by him. To Azief, Azul had always been someone that chased behind

If everyone thought that Death Monarch did not have someone he admired, then they were wrong. 

He managed to remain standing in front of that gate even after feeling that his entire body being drained of energy

This energy is not like the energy that he had absorbed. This is…soul draining. The soul is the most mysterious thing in the Omniverse.

It is probably one of the sacred things in the Omniverse. 

It is nothing like those Xianxia stories or Isekai stories where souls are this orb that could easily be taken away and put back into a mortal shell.

That is an insult of the sanctity and sacredness of souls.

To revive a body that is very simple. 

Even Azief could do that. 

But souls however are a different case. 

If it was that easy, Azul would have long revived his beloved and not wait until eons for Azief to come and fulfill the prophecy of the Sorcerer of All Realms

Azief staggered but remain standing. Azul would be proud if he could see this.

Then the gate is slowly open by itself

Azief gulped. 

In the past, it was not this easy. Before he had to push this gate. But this time, the gate, like it was welcoming him is opening it.

‘I guess if you choose an unusual path, you will encounter many unusual thing’ he mutters to himself. 

The gate door slowly opens and even before it is fully opened there is waves of energy that is coming out from the gate

It calms down the clouds and repair the trail. 

Azief is kind of dissatisfied with the opening of the gate. 

He did not need to go inside the gate. 

There is still a feeling of vigilance in Azief heart about this gate and what is in it. 

He is quite satisfied with reading the symbols in front of the gate and slowly accumulating its power

But as he had learned many times in his life, you couldn’t always get what you want. That familiar ancient aura bursted out from the gate. But it did not push Azief away.

Instead a blue colored energy slowly wafted out from the door and it became thicker as more and more of the gate is being opened

And these thick energies went toward Azief. 

Azief is still staggering because of the draining effect

Whoosh!

The blue aura washed over him and like being drenched by cold refreshing water, Azief felt his vitality and his energy was replenished almost in an instant.

The blue aura slowly seems to gain solid form. And it slowly became a cooling mist that swirls around Azief body 

Some of the particles of his mist rises upwards and Azief look at it like he was seeing fireflies in a dark night.

But slowly the blue mist shines even brighter. It did not take long before it emitted blinding light. 

Bathed in this light is Azief

In the past when he was in front of this gate an all illuminating light also appears in front of his eyes

But it was not like this. he couldn’t even open his eyes.

This time however it is very different. He felt welcomed. The light itself while as bright as a star did not blind him

The light itself seems to surround him and it felt like he is bathing inside that light. The light itself is filled with Laws of the Universe and all kinds of information streams his mind

There is no explosion of light but gradually a brightening of the light source. 

Even as the blue light become more intense Azief felt no pain in his eyes and he could easily see all around him.

He then saw his vein is turning dark blue. He did not see this last time. 

‘Impressive’ he thought to himself. 

Was it because of seeing his vein turns blue that made him said impressive? Or was it the all illuminating light or the blue mist that made him say such a thing?

He looked intently at his own body and his eyes began glowing. His eyes now are seeing through his skin

And he discovered something. Looking at his vein like his eye have an x ray machine, he saw symbols etched onto his vein

And each of the symbols etched into his vein thrummed with powerful pulse like that of an earthquake. 

The blue light fills all the area around Azief and even seems to drown the clouds. Like the eye of the storm, all these blue light was attracted to him and surrounding him in a spiral, like trying to form a cocoon around him.

The blue light seems to enter into every orifice of Azief body. And each breath that he takes seems to fill him with boundless energy and power

He did not know what is happening toward his real body right now as his connection with his real body seems to be severed somehow.

Like his soul and his body right now is temporarily separated. 

This all happened only for a second before he once again regains connection with his real body

But even in the vortex of the blue light, his eyes seem to be able to see through all of it. 

He could see his surrounding extremely clear.

As the blue light gathered around him, Azief could no longer see primordial beast sailing across the clouds or jumping to the air

Instead all he could see was the manifestation of a blue world. Azief moves his finger around and his hand around like he is trying to feel the wind around him

He does not feel the sensation of wind caressing his skin, instead what he could feel and sense was the Laws of the Universe appearing.

The Elements. The Intangible. The Concept that make up a Universe is slowly emerging. A myriad of path opened leading to the Source of Energy.

That is what he felt and sense as he waves his finger around

It is quite an experience. Feeling the source of energy washing over you like some kind of refreshing bath after a long day of hardship

This feeling of freshness is hard to describe. He felt at peace, he felt calm and he felt quietness that calms.

And then he snapped out of it. And he asks himself a question.

Is he really in his deep consciousness? This the doubt that he is feeling right now. It is almost like he is in another dimension with its own set of laws.

It is impossible for him to be in his own deep consciousness and felt the great avenue of the Source of energy

He was quite sure that he is in his consciousness in the beginning but if that is the case why does he feel the presence of Laws?
