Lord Shadow

She is the closest person to Heaven, people said

Why?

Because she was the one that Death Monarch trusted and allow to be beside him. 

And because she is closer to him than any other person, she knows how terrifying Death Monarch really is

Maybe in front of the Ice Queen and the Divine Archer, Death Monarch shows a different side.

He might show his gentle side and his best side to those two women. 

But Sasha seen all the dark side of Death Monarch. And unlike Katarina that embraces it and Sofia that tries to temper it, she dreaded it

She had no desire to embrace that kind of dark side or trying to temper it. She did not dare to embrace it because Death Monarch is not her lover. 

Their relationship with each other is different than the relationship Death Monarch have with those women.

She did not try to temper it because she is not someone that Death Monarch loves.

Thus, because she is the closest to Heaven, she knows how terrifying the Heavens would become when it is angered

But she had been standing beside him for years, so she also sees his kind side. Even after years beside him, she still did not understand this man.

But there is of course respect in her heart. And she also feels that she could trust his words. That is something she had seen many times. 

Death Monarch is a man of his word.

He rarely promises something to anyone but if he promises it, he would honor the promise. She trusted him enough. She had faith that he would one day return.

But even though she had seen Death Monarch kind side, in the end, the fear she felt for him trump any other kind of feeling

Six years did not do anything to dull that feeling. 

instead, with the appearance of that sword, she become even more uneasy and even more fearful. 

Because it is clear to her that this Death Monarch is still that invincible Death Monarch. 

She thought to herself, isn’t the usual pattern of protagonist character like Death Monarch that when they go to other place to train and return there would be more people stronger than him? 

And then the protagonist would fight with those people and the enemies would found out that even though the protagonist did not have a higher level of energy than them, their foundation is stable or some sort of scenario along that line?

Only then Sasha remembers that is a story and reality sometimes would be different than stories.

How could the real world be so different from stories? 

Judging from that emanation of energy that has been released with that sword, that sword alone is enough to decimate any Disk Formation leveler into pieces.

Sasha did not forget what happens even amidst that chaos.

When she greeted Death Monarch from her position in that island, she felt Space and Time around her to be distorted. 

Instead of just feeling that Time and Space around her distorting, the pressure was so strong that she could even see it with her own eyes

When she roars in joy Death Monarch name to the sky, thunder roars in the sky and then a powerful force swept her. 

That force seems to isolate her from the disaster that is befalling that entire archipelago.

She could see the Time between her area and the time outside her area, moves in a different time flow.

She could see clearly the droplets of water slowly falling down from the sky and she could see the light of a lightning striking down moment by moment walkthrough, like that lightning would take years before it come down to Earth. 

Then she felt Space around her to be manipulated. 

The ground seems to disintegrate by itself and the skies above went beneath her feet. 

It was like the overturning Earth and the Heavens and then as the sword descended down, she found herself standing beside Death Monarch Azief. 

Like a miracle, she found herself standing up in the clouds, behind Death Monarch who was looking down at the archipelago with cold eyes.

At that time, it would be not an exaggeration that she felt scared, bewildered, shocked and yet at the same time she also felt relieved. 

Death Monarch at that time just standing there up in the air. Clouds swirls beneath his boots and thunders roars all round him. 

Harsh wind turns gentle around him and the moment it passes Death Monarch area, they turn wild again, bringing high speed winds that disturbs the water and created storms all over the Arabian Sea

Lightning shot off from behind and in front of him making him to appear majestic and godly like some kind of god of thunder.

She did not know why she could suddenly be beside Death Monarch but it is clear that this is Death Monarch doing but she knows better than to ask Death Monarch about anything. 

She looks at Death Monarch but Death Monarch look at below so she looks below her too. 

She saw the sword. This time she could see it very clearly

The sword is formed out of all the clouds in the world. It causes the world to have a cloudless sky 

It is like that artifact that Hirate had that could create continents and islands out of nowhere. That artifact also has the abilities to sweep clouds and winds.

But that is sweeping the clouds. It is not like the way Death Monarch uses the clouds. 

She could feel that as the Willpower of Death Monarch covered the world everything that belongs to the Heavens belong to him.

The clouds are just a tool. If he wanted to move mountain, he could probably move it just by thinking about it.

But Death Monarch like always have to be different than anyone else. 

That sword did not only absorb all the clouds in the region but all over the world, like being summoned by their master, the clouds came and formed that sword. 

She could feel the intent of killing and the Willpower inside that sword strike.

She glances at Death Monarch when that sword descends. His expression like always did not change at all. 

That gaze is coldly looking at that island. 

The sword falls and the archipelago was cut. Hills were flattened by the pressure even before the sword could land. 

The ten men who even have two Disk Formation leveler among them exploded into pieces of meat. 

Those two exploded when the sword reached ten meter above them. 

The other had exploded long way before that. Their cursing could not even be heard from this height. Looking at them from above, they look like some dots that is so insignificant

They exploded into atoms and disintegrated. Even their energies or any of their lifesaving measure they had seemed to not be able to survive that sword strike. 

And when the sword finally landed, like a compressed explosion, the sound of the land being cut sounded like someone cut a paper with a scissor.

The impact exploded upwards first and it seems to pierce through the skies and the force created a sky quake up in the sky.
