Lord Shadow

Chapter 1351 Paying Some Debt

　　He sighed, pointed his finger to the sky, a spark of energy flew out of his finger and joins the flow of power that flew toward the Turbulent Sea to be absorbed by the sword crafted from a cloud

Like a droplet of water dropped into an ocean, the energy travels the same route. 

Probably the only one who could see this magnificent scene of waves of energy flowing from all over toward that direction of the sword is only Jean and Hikigaya

It is like seeing the aurora 

He smiles and not before long there were messenger coming from the bottom of the hill. Jean smiles. 

It seems that the Senate has finally lost their calm.

’Now, they have come’ Jean did not enter back his Room of Clocks instead he went down the Hill and goes to the Senate, the golden skies are still glowing brightly. 

At the same time, inside a cave near the coast of Japan, Hikigaya was broken from his concentration.

He was resuming his training, floating in the air with his leg crossed. Before, he was disturbed by Death Monarch and the Heavenly Will clashing against each other

Right now, he seems to feel a dark premonition in his heart

Hikigaya frowned and thought to himself

’What is this feeling?’ Hikigaya knows that as he got stronger, premonition that he has is not simply a feeling but sometimes an omen. 

It warns him, reminds him, gives him guidance

The four books that was floating around him had all fall down to the ground. 

Hikigaya could not help but feel his energy becoming chaotic and he closes his eyes, focusing in regulating the energy that is being rolled up, trying to calm down the energy

This si without a doubt a dire premonition

’Something must have happened’ he thought to himself. He takes a step, his body turns into mist and he appeared outside of his cave. 

Immediately he could feel the surges of energy in Heaven and Earth and he looks around him

Looking up at the sky, he could see colorful motes of light in variety of colors, with all kinds of energy fluctuations and threads and string connecting them

He could feel the force of destiny and fate also seems to envelope each and every tiny little motes of light

Hikigaya surrounded his cave with one of the most powerful enchantment and illusory formation this world could produce.

So, even when Death Monarch words reverberates and echoes all over the world, Hikigaya did not hear it 

He closes his eyes and the mist around him surges and recreate the scene that happened just a few minutes ago and Hikigaya finally understand everything

No wonder the moment he went out he felt a pull force trying to extract a tiny bit of his energy out. 

He did not immediately give his energy. He did not mind helping Death Monarch. After all, he owed many to Death Monarch

But, he is trying to understand something. Why do this? Sword of Humanity? This……isn’t this the Merit System of the Three Thousand Worlds?

Is Death Monarch trying to create a new system for the world? Is this the restriction he wanted to impose?

Then does Death Monarch wanted to be Sage? But while he could not claim he knows Death Monarch that much, he is quite sure that Death Monarch would never want to be under the heavenly Will

Other people might not mind but Death Monarch is not like other people. 

Hikigaya had been to the Three Thousand Worlds. 

Though, he did not use methods like going to that world personally or opening a breach to that universe, he did travel a few Multiverses here and there 

Instead of going there in person and in the flesh, he is in dreams and in imaginations of people, he materializes there like magic, like a wizard, sometimes appearing like a good dream, other times appearing like a nightmare. 

He thought about it for a moment but then he decided that right now is not the time for him to think of these thoughts. 

Whether this is like the Three Thousand Worlds or not, he chose to believe in what he knows about Death Monarch

And he would ask Death Monarch himself about this matter later. 

He pointed his finger toward the sky and around him the mist all gathers around the tip of his index finger. 

The white mist turns golden before turning into purplish blue. 

At first, it was large like there is a large gathering of clouds but in just a moment, these voluminous mist condense into a small orb that is spinning in a sped that seems to create gust of winds and storms in the coastal area.

The pull from the Heavenly Will seems to become stronger

Like Jean, Hikigaya could also see that the Heavenly Will Avatar is becoming stronger.

Hikigaya took a glance at the Heavenly Will Avatar, his eyes seem to pass through the clouds and see through the dimension where the Heavenly Will is being restricted by a gulf of energy that separates it from the real world

The gulf of energy is thinning.

’So, be it’ he talks to himself.

He simply let go a bit of his power to flew toward that sword

He simply said

’It is but a fraction of what I owe him’ he sighed and said

’The Karma between me and him is not yet solved. And this alone could not repay the Karma’ and he sighed again, this time a little bit longer

This is why he chose to believe Death Monarch. There is a debt between them that needs to be repaid along the way

The more Hikigaya become stronger the more he could feel the restrain that is imposed upon him by an invisible force of Law

In this world, magic is not some fairytale story. It is real and it is binding. Oaths and promises are not to be spoken lightly.

Debt of life and death bounds you and everything that has been done to you and the things you have done to others all fell into the calculation of this invisible force. 

He owes Death Monarch, a debt that is hard to pay. Death Monarch helps him pave the road to his Divine Comprehension realm. 

One bit of energy coming out of him does not repay it. Hikigaya just knew that it is not repaid, not by a long shot

Then he looks at the sky, his gaze seems to see far more than the clouds and the sky and he could feel something is staring at him back

The Heavenly Will probably notices him. 

But, that Heavenly Will could not do anything to him, to Jean or to Death Monarch

Right now, they are stronger than the Heavenly Will. 

Even if they did something taboo and the Heavens wanted to punish them, the three of them would not fear.

Probably they are the only three people that could do this without worrying about the actions of the Heavenly Will.

To the normal people, the powers of the world is the Seven Great Powers, the Crime Alliance, the forces and factions that are developing in the new continent, and the Pirates Lords.

These are the entity of power in the eyes of the normal people. 

But to people who sat on the peak of power in this world, primarily Death Monarch, the Time Monarch and him, there is another that could introduce a variable in the currents events of the world

And it is something that they need to pay attention to

And that is the Heavenly Will that is growing and growing in an unprecedented rate after the Multiversal Convergence.

And now Death Monarch is trying to strengthen the Heavenly Wil and even created a Sword of Humanity that takes the luck and fortune of the human race. 

’Interesting. I am truly wondering what you are planning, Death Monarch’ he said to no one in particular as white mist suddenly appears out of nowhere and covers him

This mist makes it that nobody could see him not even the eyes of the Heaven Will. Like an illusion, a mirage

This is one of the methods that Hikigaya had used to conceal himself from the world. 

The area once again is shrouded with white mist and the cave itself is concealed, space- time was befuddled.

A land of illusion and a land that subverts dreams and reality. 

Other than a Divine Comprehension leveler, no living being on Earth could resist the pull of this Will, a small tiny part of their energy seems to be extracted out of them and all of it flows toward that sword.

In the sky, an aurora of energy rushes toward the direction of the sword. Leveler below the Disk Formation level could not see it

And for Disk Formation leveler, while they could see it, they could not see it the way a Divine Comprehension leveler sees it

For the people outside of the city of Arturia, they are puzzled by what is happening. 

They saw golden skies and golden clouds, saw rains of golden motes of light and motes of golden light flew up from the ground, like heaven and Earth is glowing golden. 

While they do not know what is happening right now, they could tell that this is the deed of Death Monarch. 

They heard Death Monarch said that he would use the luck of the living beings in this world to establish the incarnation of Will of the people in the flesh in order to regulate the world.

They do not understand what this mean but it seems grand

Of course, just because many people do not understand, did not mean everyone did not understand.

In the world, there are always hidden people who have ability to knows things that others do not

Seeing the sky golden in color, hearing the voice of declaration, there are some people who knew what is going on

And some of them are contemplating the matter
