Lord Shadow

So, as Loki was trying to stab the Broker, Sasha pull the Broker towards her causing him to miss.       

Loki smiles as he kicks the ground underneath his feet. 

The entire ground shakes before it exploded. 

The radius of one meter around him depressed while outside that one-meter radius, the ground exploded and bursted up toward the sky.

Large amount of soils rises up to the sky with stones and hard ground. Loki at the same time propels himself to the sky.

‘Sharp’ he mutters as he opens his left palm. Glowing runes floated out from his palm. The moment he said sharp, these runes fly towards the stones and the hard ground that was in the sky.

It attached itself and suddenly even though the soil should not have given one the sense of it being sharp, Sasha could notice something that is wrong.

Everything become sharp. From the small pebbles of stones to the irregular shape of hard ground that is all over the sky right now, everything had become sharp like a pair of knives

Sasha plan is simple. Since she could not defeat Loki in one on one combat, she would not even try. She would bring the Broker away.

The area around them is still distorted because of the earlier surge of energy. Sasha plans to regroup with her operatives.

But how could it be that easy?

‘It is not that easy to run away from me!’ Loki said as he throws another knife.

A powerful bolt of lightning seems to explode from that knife. His knife seems to glimmers as bright as the sun.

At the same time, the boulders, the pebbles, the stones and the soils that was forced up into the sky by Loki stomp turns into knife intent.

They become incomparably sharp. 

And then it pulverizes their matter. With a shape, with matter, there is restriction. A round shape stone and an irregular shaped soil, all of this could be turned into knife intent

But, restricted by its shape, it could not reach the apex of sharpness.

Loki attack right now might not be as supreme and domineering as Azief attack when he swings his sword and cut off an entire archipelago island. 

But it is close to it. A mass of clear light appears from the knife. This light seems to extend to infinity.

A knife light that could be seen tens of thousands of kilometers away appeared. It eclipsed the light of the sun and enveloped the entire forest.

A sharp ring of the knife sounded out explosively and echoed like the ringing of a bell. 

Like a giant was awaken from its slumber, the sound created mental attack.

‘Argh!’ Sasha shouted as she unconsciously releases the translucent rope that she had used to tied up the Broker body.

Sasha immediately realized what had happened as she kicks the clouds around her and fly down to grab back the Broker. 

But that knife did not yet explode with its ultimate potential. All of this took time to describe but it happens in the span of two seconds.

Even as Sasha was trying to grab back the rope, her eyes sting. The sharpness that Loki had uses did not only sharpen the knife intent but also the concept of sharpness.

Her eyes felt like something is stinging it. But she endures the pain. Because she knows one thing. Loki might not hesitate to kill the Broker. But he would not kill her.

Because he needs her to man the helm of Pandemonium. So, she uses all of her strength and diverted it to increase her speed.

The desperation in her heart, the trembling hand and her stinging eyes, all shows how determined she is to save the Broker. 

The broker since the beginning of the conversation till the battle is still unconscious. 

Whatever Loki did to him; it renders him unconscious to the point that he almost looks like he had died already

In the sky right now, the clouds for ten thousand kilometers radius, is all clear. 

If this was before the Multiversal Convergence, this move of Loki would have the same effect like what Death Monarch had done.

It would clear the sky of the entire world. 

Fortunately, this is after the Multiversal Convergence. 

If not, many forces would know, right now, in one region of Pandemonium, there is an intense battle that is happening involving the most wanted man Loki and the elusive leader of the Shadow Guards Sasha

The sound of booming fills the sky, and distortion could be seen all above the skies. 

And all one could see is endless vast blue sky with nothing else. 

There are no single clouds to be seen like someone had erased it. Like some kind of pristine painting that had not been added with some colors yet.

Only blue skies and yellow sun

But if one looks at the sky, they would feel their eyes sting.

Like there is knives striking their eyes. 

If even people who are not close to that knife power felt this way, what else could be said about Sasha who is near that knife.

That knife travelled slowly in the air while being disintegrated and become knife intent that covers everything around Sasha.

BOOOM! A powerful shockwave seems to explode that affects the Laws and Concepts all around Loki

He is smiling with his eyes looking very dangerous

If Sasha was the target right now, and Loki wanted to kill her, she would probably be minced to death.

But because she was not, she keeps flying down trying to grab the Broker even as injuries appears in her skin. 

Her skin is already tough surpassing the strongest metal known in the world

Everyone who had reached Disk Formation would have skins that are hard to break, as everyone undergoes physical metamorphosis during the Energy Disperse Stage. 

But right now, her skin is as fragile as paper as wound appears like scratches. 

At first the scratches are small but as moments passed by, the wound slowly become larger.

The pain which at the beginning simply felt like a bite of group of ants now the pain is akin of having putting your hand into a wood chipper

Loki might not want to kill Sasha but he surely could hurt her

Sasha could feel that there is an endless sphere of chilling light enveloping her, wounding her and trying to stop her.

And that chilling light is about to envelop the Broker.

Even her mental state seems to be stung with the sharpness of the knife intent. Almost like it could even cut her memories

The closer she is toward grabbing the rope that is flailing in the air as the Broker keep falling, the more pain she experiences.

‘Loki attack…. affected the Concepts and Laws of the world’ this is what she concluded. That’s the only way to explain this fierce but sharp attack

If only she knew how close she is to the mark. Loki in the past had used such methods to deal with the White Witch.

He had carved an inerasable tattoo on the body of the White Witch. A tattoo that hints toward the future.

Only after using the last vestiges of the White Witch memories, that the tattoo had disappeared.

But, before all of that happens, Loki had erased White Witch memories about him. The same attack is now enveloping Sasha

Fortunately, this is not an attack directed at her mental state. If not, she would suffer all kinds of excruciating pain right now.

Loki on the other hand, just floats in the sky, his eyes seems to look at the sight of Sasha flying down trying to catch Nathan.

Nathan is unconscious and did not respond to anything. He looks at all of this with coldness. That one attack is enough to do what it supposed to do.

His Divine Sense is also limited here but he could guess that when he was talking with Sasha before, Sasha had called for reinforcement.

It did not matter. 

His eyes kept looking. 

But his eyes are unlike normal eyes. There is images of matrixes and runes in his pupil. He is calculating. Calculating probabilities. 

It takes a great deal of control to unleash an attack that could destroy an entire continent and make sure that it is only limited to a certain place and people.

Sasha who is in the middle of that force felt a kind of petrifying brutality and cruelness in that attack. 

As she was about to reach the rope, suddenly a force cut toward the rope and her finger grabs only air.

Powerful force of destruction and full of murderousness seems to try to push her away

‘Arghh!’ She yelled as her body burst out with energy. 

‘I will not let you get your way!’ she shouted. The force is about to push her away and shredded the Broker into pieces but as she opens her mouth to scold Loki, she also begins to sing.

And the moment she sings, the worldly laws seems to change.
