Lord Shadow

‘Hmm. Riana saved him?’

Sasha then reply to Death Monarch

‘Yes. she saved him from the Three Army pursuit and even from Loki secret forces’

‘Now?’ he asks again. 

Azief always speak in short sentence. Other people and even his officials have trouble trying to divine the question of Death Monarch but Sasha was accustomed to it. 

And Azief is also accustomed to speak like this with Sasha. 

Right now, even though they are not at the court of Pandemonium, they are back to their most comfortable position. 

Azief as the ruler of Pandemonium and Sasha as the Shadow Guards leader.

It was like they are already back in the throne room of Pandemonium. 

This is why Azief break through that Time Tunnel early. He did not want to lose such a precious subordinate. 

And this is why Sasha respected and believe in Death Monarch. They were accustomed to each other.

If this is the world before the Fall, Azief is akin the CEO of a large company and Sasha is his trusted secretary that handle small and big matters for him.

Because there is trust between them, their conversation also reflected that

The wind passes them but Sasha notices that even though there is storm all over the Arabian Sea and large waves below them rising up from the sea forming large tsunamis, the sound of the wind, the sound of the waves and the sound of the thunder all over the skies seems to died down around her.

She notices that she was covered in a calming force that enables her to speak with Death Monarch without being interrupted by the world forces.

It increases her respect and her dread. She answers Death Monarch question

‘Now, no one knows where the Broker is. Riana is quite capable if she could hide from Lord Loki and the Three Army’

Azief thinks again. He was not as optimistic as Sasha. 

He just fears this is also under Loki calculations. It is really hard to fight against a person who knows the future, he thought

Sasha on the other hand send a message with her secret communicator to her people that she is heading back toward Pandemonium. 

She sends a message to them to quickly regroup back to Pandemonium. And she also sends a message saying they no longer to hide.

Death Monarch has returned and as such they no longer had to hide. That sword that comes down from the Heaven is a reminder…and a warning to all the forces of the world.

Then she shut down her communicator and keep following Azief trails

Azief then ask

‘Where is my Shadow?’ he asks. Sasha frowned.

‘I already used it’ Azief was shocked.

‘All three strikes have been used?’ 

The Shadow is what he called the black figures made of darkness that he could create. It is part of his shadow. 

He would put his shadow into other people shadows. 

When it needs to strike, the Shadow would come out from the shadow of the host and strike an attack

There are some people he put the shadow with the intent to supervise them and others who he did not

Even though the status window that he has is blurry and he could barely see the stats in his status window any more, he knows he had an ability to manipulate shadows. 

As he comes closer to the source of Laws and energy in the world and as he grew closer to Perfection, he notices that unique class slowly grows insignificant for him.

He is more like a Death Lord than Shadow Lord. 

Maybe from the moment, he took the perfection path, his nature as the Shadow Lord had been diminished. 

He couldn’t remember the last time he uses any shadow related abilities. 

It is not that he didn’t want to use them. 

But because he did not even have to use it. Shadow Lord abilities is mainly used and specialize in stealth actions. 

As he grew more powerful and Perfected his Path, he had become strong. In this world, why would he need to hide and od things in stealth? Whatever he wanted, he could take.

Whoever he wanted to punish and destroy, he would only need to think of it and lightning and thunder would fill the world and strike them down for him.

As such, he knows that now as he reached Divine Comprehension, the Shadow Lord class is no longer an advantage. But instead it a skin that he needs to shed off.

Maybe all class is like that. 

They acted like a base of your abilities. You then follow one of the path of that abilities and slowly that path become your Grand Path.

Some strayed and even when one strayed one could still see hope of finding their Grand Path as long as one is determined

But perfection Path is nothing like that. Since it could embrace all things and be all things, it also means that is not specialized or unique. Because it had all, it is all.

Thus, manipulation of shadows is just minor abilities when compared to the many energies one would have to cultivate in order to walk the Path of perfection successfully.

That shadow he gave to Sasha is a lifesaving measure. 

Each shadow could strike for three times with the power of Disk Formation level that he had attained before he went to the Supremacy Stairway.

But since it is only a shadow, of course the damage it could inflict is lower than the real one. 

From what Azief had calculated, these shadow could retain about fifty percent of his power. 

Actually, that alone is powerful enough. Azief when he was in Disk Formation could already battle Divine Comprehension leveler and even beat them if they are not that proficient in using their laws. 

Of course that was in theory since at that time nobody on Earth had reached Divine Comprehension level.

Such lifesaving measures should be a great threat to anyone at that time in the world. And Sasha also know this. 

And Sasha herself is not some weak maiden.

She is also at Disk Formation level.

Of course, her offensive abilities are not that terrifying compared the many other Divine Comprehension leveler in the world but her speed and her evasive abilities is probably the cream of the crop

The fact that she had to use it means her enemies is not some small fry. 

Most people would be deterred by the fact that Sasha not only had Disk Formation level power but also the fact that she is Death Monarch most trusted person in the court of Pandemonium.

So, he asks

‘Who could force you to use it? Tell me.’ Azief ask calmly

‘the first time I used it I was attacked by Oreki’

‘Thunder Monarch. Hmm. Why would he have attacked you?’

‘He said something about trying to know how high the wall really is. For some reason, he believes that you have left me with some lifesaving measures. And he wanted to test it. That was the first strike from the Shadow I used’ she answered and Azief chuckles a bit.

This Oreki, he thought. When he was on Earth, he did not want to spar with me, but the moment I am gone only then he comes out from his place and try to exchange pointers

‘And how did he take it?’
