Chapter 1692: In Front of the Palace
Chapter 1692: In Front of the Palace
Azief get up and as he stood up, he waves his hand and the energy of the world gathers to create clothes and pants for him.
It has a black hooded tunic with a sleek design fitting close to the body.
Even though Azief no longer has the Shadow Lord class, he very much like the style of the Shadow Lord, the tight-fitting clothes with sleek design.
And over the years, people are used to seeing him like that. And of course, there is also a cape.
A flowing white cape is attached to the shoulders of the tunic. In the past this would add a dramatic and dynamic element to the costume.
And it was black at that time.
When it billows it does not enhance the overall aesthetic and creating a sense of graceful movement but it has amore practical use which enhance his speed, repels the friction of the air and repel any low-level spell.
That is his old costume. But now, because he did not have any costume in particular and he created this out of the energy of Heaven and Earth, it is quite different
And Azief did not really need such a buff anymore because he himself could use the laws and rules of the world to move quickly.
“When I think about it, the Shadow Lord class and the costume it gave me is quiet beneficial. It is a pity that as I grow stronger, my path is no longer in being stealth”
When he thinks about it, even when his class is Shadow Lord, Azief had never acted in accordance like a Shadow Lord should act
And because of it, there is always a feeling of dissonance.
Azief also had learned something. All of those class and vocation in the system is a manifestation of a Will.
A Will of an ancient past.
That is the only way that the people of Earth could quickly become stronger.
And as long as you synchronized with this will, you would become stronger faster and your proficiency in using class-based skill also become faster.
The system only made it look like a skill selection to make it easy for the people of Earth.
But Azief who have reached this level could see that when someone chooses a skill, it also depends on the compatibility between the person and the class.
And when one chooses a class, the system transfers a will.
This is very difficult thing to do. Because the system transfers a will but only the ability of that Will, and not the belief and desire of that Will
For example, if Azief is dying and he wanted to transfer his Will, he could do it.
He could choose someone and transfer his will but the person who got his will would also be affected by his will.
They would get his power and his ability, his insight but also his desire and his hate and dislike.
Of course, it would not be to the point of possessing the body but those who got the Will is affected by the Will that is in their soul
Because that Will is not their Will but a Will of someone else. But the system could erase the desire of the Will
“No, not erase. Suppress” he thought to himself.
Hence, when someone reaches synchronization with their class, they would find their skill is easier to use, and their experience is quickly digested.
Like an archer who uses archery skill and act in a way that is suitable for an archer would find that their skill is easier to use
On the other hand, if an archer uses a sword all the time, this archer would find it hard to digest the experience of the archer class.
“But I choose a different path” Azief thought to himself
Azief did not only conjure up the hood and the tunic he also conjure up a bracer.
The bracer is white and black. The bracer itself is white in colour with white borders. Stylish but not functional.
Azief look at the bracer and smile.
“I really need a new costume” Azief when he opens his eyes realizes that he was naked. Truly naked. Fortunately, there is no one in this island.
Or he would be really embarrassed. So, he thought of creating a new costume for himself
He is also shocked that when he experience that enlightenment, the energy of Heaven and Earth that bombarded him was so strong that it melt all of his clothing.
“What should I write on this?” he thought to himself and not before long, there is already an idea. He uses his index finger to carve words and patterns into the bracers.,
Azief actually does not need bracers. He is just used to it. When he was Shadow Lord, his costume includes a bracer.
At that time, the bracers serves a dual purpose. It offers protection to his forearms. At the same time, it also provides a platform for hidden blades and other concealed weapons.
“I still have that one accessory” he thought to himself. Most of the accessories he have, he had bestowed to his subordinate.
But there is still one accessory that he did not give away.
“Why not combine them?” he thought to himself
He brought something out from his storage bag. It is the Bracelet of Perfect Refinement. This bracelet like the name had hinted, is a bracelet that help you enhance the success of refining
things
But it is not perfect. At least when it deals with a more advanced refining method, this bracelet could not always ensure that the refinement is perfect.
The lower level of refining however is fine.
“I would try it” Azief mutters to himself as he crush the bracelet with his bare hands. Then as it is crushed, there is an energy that is escaping from it.
Before, Azief could not see this but now he could see it and before the energy could even have the time to disperse and integrated with the energy of Heaven and Earth, Azief grabs it with
his hands.
He could feel the laws of fire in this energy
And then he shapes the energy according to his will, making it to be shaped like an orb. And then he guided the energy to enter into the bracers.
Both bracers has some parts of the energy entering it and the moment it enters the bracers, the bracers is now suddenly are adorned with subtle, intricate patterns
There is also a belt that cinches the cloth at the waist. It is not there only for style. Thee is pockets around the belt.
Azief is using the pockets like storage bag. There is Space laws embedded in each of the pockets so that it could stores a lot of things inside it.
“I used to remember there is also a pocket on the belt of my old costume” There is a lot of gadgets in there and flying weapons like a flying knife and darts.
Really on brand for a Shadow Lord to attack from the shadow. Only Azief instead of synchronizing with his class, acted very differently.
Instead of being stealthy, Azief choose to be dramatic and when he fights, he sure make a
fuss.
The pants however is a mix of colours of black and white. It is fitted but not restrictive. The
boots are black that complete the look.
“It could also neutralize any friction”
And sturdy. If not when he uses his speed, wouldn’t is clothing turns into dust. What if he had
to go to the Sun? Wouldn’t the heat melted his close if he uses physical things to make his
clothing.
He look at his clothing and he nodded to himself.
He waves his hand and a mirror materialized from the sand. Azief look at himself in the mirror
and nodded to himself.
“I look presentable” he mutters to himself.
“I think I could meet her now. She must also have calms herself down” Azief look toward the distance and he frowned.
“Where is Katarina?” Like before his gaze geos to Russia and look toward the Ice Palace. He
was expecting to see Katarina there.
But Katarina is nowhere to be seen.
He look around again and even if he look toward the Senate he could not find her. But Azief is
not worried.
After all, it doesn’t seem that she is in danger. He would have sensed it if she is in danger.
“Maybe, I should check it” he frowns for a bit.
“I don’t want to see Boris” he said it to himself. When looking at the Senate, of course he could see Boris. Boris however could not feel that he is being watched.
The realm of power difference between them is vast. It is like the difference of Heaven and
Earth
So how could Boris feel that he is watching him. He could not. But Azief knows he is there.
“I never like that man” Azief only tolerated Boris because he is Katarina brother. And also,
because when Katarina was young, he was the one that takes all the beating
Boris might not be a good person. But he is a good brother.
And Azief understand why Katarina could never give up on him
So, he sighed
He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, inhale and exhale and then opening back his eyes, he
took a step.
The moment he took his step, the space around him distorted and suddenly he appears in a snowy area. There is snow falling from the sky, there is cold wind blowing from the north.
And in front of him is a large structure made from block of ice. Azief in one step arrived in
Moscow, appearing in front of the Ice Palace
He look at the imposing Ice Palace and smile
“I should see her now”
