Lord Shadow

Chapter 1294 A Breath

’Why did you do it, though?’

’Do what?’

’that confession’ Katarina chuckles and then she said

’I just saw that you had a lot to think about in the past couple of days. I know that you are worried about me. About your friends. About her. And you don’t know how to broach the topic with me’

There is silence between them for a few second. That “her” is something that Azief did not want to bring up. Who would have thought that Katarina would bring that up?

Azief did not know how to reach 

She looks at him and said

’I believe you’ that is the only thing she said but Azief could not help but feel touched. 

Since the moment that Azief knew that he is being watched by all kinds of beings up there in the Heavens and beyond, he had always felt antsy.

Not only for him but for the people that he loves and the people he cares about. And his mind of course immediately went to Sofia and Sina.

As for Loki, Azief knows that the Trickster probably had a trick of his own. But the same could not be said for Sofia and Sina. 

He had already been thinking about this for several days. Azief bitterly smiles and said

’I didn’t mean to hide it from you’ he said

’It’s fine. I understand’ then she chuckles and added

’I still want that date though’ Azief laughs and nods. 

’Your wish is my command’ 

Then he looks back at the portal. Right now, both of them could feel that there is a time force shrouding them. 

This would protect them from the turbulence of space and time when they return back. 

Azief believe that this is also the result of Qarliya interference with the Time Space tunnel 

’Six months compressed to only few days’ he thought to himself. 

If he had to do this his way, he not only has to sense the time differences, he also had to depend on Jean guidance. 

It is like a homing device for him to return home. But with Orvanian technology he did not need to do such a thing. 

’Let’s go home’ Katarina nodded and as Azief and Katarina was about to step out of that portal Azief and Katarina both feel a powerful sense of danger.

Azief look toward the right and Katarina look toward the left. There is a powerful breath blowing toward them. 

And the source of this breath seems to come from everywhere 

Azief eyes frown at that time and he could immediately feel the premonition of something powerful coming toward him

His danger sense rings out alarm.

’This is dangerous’ he immediately concluded. This breath that is coming toward him had a hint of destruction law.

His instinct takes over. There is a breath coming towards him

Before it even comes near him, he could feel the danger of this breath, threatening to blows him over.

’No!!’ he shouted as he mobilizes all the Laws that he could control and force his way through that breath and grab Katarina hand.

That breath appears right around them and around the portal. Around them, it is like some kind of wall that wanted to push them further.

But around the portal is seems to shroud the portal opening like some kind of barrier. 

Katarina could feel Azief grasping her hand. Azief look at Katarina and shouted amidst the roaring of this magical winds that seems to ignore all laws of Time and Space. 

’Together’ he shouted. 

Katarina nodded and her grasp of Azief hand become tighter. 

Life or death, they are going to do it together.

Azief eyes become sharp, his aura rises in almost an instant, the Time and Space around him bends

Azief makes a grasping motion with his hand and the Laws from the scenery, from the time fragment is extracted out.

In some worlds inside the time scene all along the road, is a world of magic. Some of them have Celestial energy. Some of them have Worldly energy and Divine energy.

This is the energy that Azief extracted. 

A sword appears on his hand, formed from these energies. 

The moment that the sword appears, the sharpness of the sword is so terrifying that the Time and Space that is in the area of the sword was cut unintentionally.

Azief had grown from the last time. 

His Divine Sense while it could not be used inside this Time Space tunnel to determine direction, he could use it to strengthen his attack

The sword itself is humming. 

It is like he is holding light personified.

A sword of light that is constantly extracting energy from the time fragments. 

His eyes are sharp and an aura of killing exploded out of him. 

He is ready to face the owner of this breath that gives him such a sensation of danger. 

Katarina also did not just stand there. Even though she could not sense the danger as acutely as Azief did, she could see that Azief is anxious.

She knows Azief. And she knows his strength. There are not many people in the Universe that could make her man this fearful or anxious.

So, she quickly concluded that this is a great enemy. 

Like Azief, she made a grasping motion and extracted element energy from all the scenes of worlds she had seen before

When you are walking on the road, you would see sceneries of other worlds. 

It is like a one-way mirror. She could see what the life on that other world is, but that world inhabitants could not see her.

She could see the trajectory of time of that world if she so wishes. But she must not step out from the road and went into that mirror-like scenery

Because if she did, she would be in another world in another time. 

It would also affect the timeline and created more branching divergent lines.

Once she did that the time stream would be cut off and a new future might be created 

But whether it be a world that is nearing its extinction or a newly born world that she sees, she knows that all of that is real and not just a projection

Because she knows it and Azief knows it, that they manage to use this advantage 

that is how even though in this time Space tunnel which has no working Laws that they could use, they could extract the energies of those world and uses it.

In other words, they use external sources of laws and energy that they have mastered. 

Azief uses Celestial energy that is not stored in his body instead borrows it from other worlds that have celestial energies to form his sword.

But there is a reason why not many beings do this. 

If one could just unlimitedly borrow energy from the past and the future and uses it like this, then there would be probably many more supreme being in the Universe.

The reason is not because that they do not want to but there is a Price. If you don’t learn it by now, everything has a price. 

And the price is the entanglements between you and the worlds energy that you have borrowed. 

This is also the reason why those who study the laws of time rarely borrows energy from the past unless they are sure that they could return it back. 

There is karma formed with these worlds when both Azief and Katarina borrows that world energy. 

You sow Karma and you have to reap it

But Azief and Katarina knows this so instead of borrowing from worlds that is prosperous and full of energy, they borrow worlds that are on the verge of an apocalypse or an extinction.

It is a world that would no longer exist in that particular time and such that energy that they borrowed not need to be returned and Karma between them and that world would be written off. 

Around her hand, a sword made of ice is formed. 

Around both of them, the time fragment from different period of times, from different worlds of different dimension all of them are shaking.

Vortex of energies swirls around their sword.

All kinds of ice from different worlds gathered to form Katarina ice sword. 

And on Azief sword, thirteen kind of energies seems to meld together to create a powerful pressure that causes the entire time fragment to blurs and distort

But even before they could swing the sword on their hands, the breath comes again. This time they were pushed even more backwards. 

Azief thrusted his left palm forward. A powerful force erupted, and a giant palm appears and try to push the breath.

But, while it stops him from being pushed too far back, he still did not manage to dissipate the breath. 

Katarina on the other hand blows her breath forward and an ice walls appears. 

This ice wall could withstand even the bombardment of nuclear bombs but when it is confronted by this unknown breath, it breaks almost immediately. 

Then they stopped retreating. Once again the breath disappears. Azief become even more vigilant. 

In the distance, in front of them, they could see that portal leading them to their way home. 

Behind them, in a distance that looks near but at the same time far, is a time scene.

What is a time scene? 

It is something that Azief and Will named the scenery that they saw when they were travelling the Time space tunnel. 

Different people call it different things. 

Sometimes they called it a time scene. 

Sometimes they called it time movie. 

Everyone experience in travelling through the time-space tunnel is different so it is hard to standardize proper terminology. 

Even Speedster could not agree to name certain phenomenon when they were travelling inside a Time Space tunnel.

Most Time Space tunnel is like a road. A lone road leading one to a supposed destination of when.

But as it travels through the space folds and time fold, there is time fragments on the side of the road.

This time fragments look near but it is infinitely far. 

But once you are thrown away from the road, then that infinite space between you and the time fragment would be shrink immensely.

And if you touch the scene of the time fragment you would be sucked into it and appears at that timeline.
