Lord Shadow

Azief then trace his finger to the Ring of Grand Formation and his eyes shines brightly. 

Azief did not notice that as he traces his finger through each of the ring, the light in his eyes become brighter. 

There is golden light and blue streaks inside his pupils. 

Outside the throne room there is a Keeper of the Palace that is about to announce himself to Death Monarch to ask permission for him to clean the interior of the Throne Room. 

In his opinion he had come at the right moment. It is already about to go dark and maybe Death Monarch has finished whatever he is doing inside the throne room.

He had already postponed the cleaning time because of the sudden meting of the bigwig of Pandemonium.

But Azief didn’t notice that time had passed. If not, he would be very shocked.

When he was talking with Loki it was around afternoon. 

But he didn’t notice that while he was savoring the information that he got form the ring, it is almost at night. 

To Azief eyes, it was a short moment with him tracing his finger to each of the ring. To him, it only feels like a second as he moves his hand to touch the rings.

As he was immersed with the information and the new abilities that the ring bestowed upon him, he did not even realize that time had passed.

Outside the keeper is still hesitating whether to announce himself. 

He took a deep breath and yet before he even had the nerve to announce himself and make his intention known, the Keeper realizes that he could saw light from the bottom of the door.

He shakes his head said

‘hell, no’ and he retreated. 

He would tell the supervisor that Death Monarch is doing something inside the throne room which is why he could not clean the room like it was scheduled.

Azief on the other hand had seen the new blueprint of a formation inside his ring.

The ring of Grand Formation had always been one of the ring abilities that he used the most. Azief is not proficient in formation

With the abilities he had he could easily create formation out of the element or energy but a true formation that have the intricacies of mysteries in it is something that Azief had never mastered.

Azief knows that there is some formation that could not be broken by brute strength and instead had to be open by certain ways.

The only reason why there is no such formation on Earth is because they did not know how to create such formation yet. 

Magical formation and array formation and even runic formation are all mysterious and powerful if its constructed by someone who truly knows the craft.

Azief remember the palm that sealed the world and even though it was easily crushed by him, that is only because that palm was supposed to seal the people who were originally inside and not account of the fact that the Demon Monkey schemed against that palm and hijack the Supremacy Stairway for his scheme

Before Azief had seven formations. There is a reason why the Ring is called the Ring of Grand Formations. Each of the formation he possessed is very grand in its effect and abilities.

Each of the seven formations he had is very powerful and very costly. Some of them he taught to the Shadow Guards Sealing and Formation Division called the Dark Clouds.

In the Shadow Guards, there is many division and only Azief knows the name of all division and what they were tasked to do. 

To the eyes of many people the Shadow Guards consisted only of Dark Blade Division and the Shadow Guards elites that protects his interest.

There is also the Moon Hall which is specializing in alchemy, pills and medicine. 

And there is also the Flame Hall which is the division responsible for forging weapons, defensive shields, armor and tasked with improving the defensive capabilities of each of the operatives of the Shadow Guards

And there is many such Halls inside the Shadow Guards. That is why it is not so simple as one thought to rein such large shadowy organization. Thankfully, there is not many people that knows the true size of the Shadow Guards.

The simpler, the better. And out of all the many division and halls, he pays more attention the most to the Dark Clouds division.

Azief have the Formation of Seven Pillars of Light. 

It is very powerful and from what he understands it, it is constructed by using light particles to create a prison with each light acted like a prison bar that seal the space around the enemy.

Then there is also the twelve Swords of Heaven formation. 

The formation itself was taught to twelve members of the Dark Clouds Division. Azief modified it a bit so it could even constrain a Disk Formation expert

The twelve people would become sword of heaven and each of them could synchronized like they could read each other movements before they even acted.

Azief did not use it and he did not need to use after he had won against the Heaven. 

And now, he did not even have to think about it. 

But it is useful as a lifesaving formation for Pandemonium if ever there is a Disk Formation expert comes masking trouble.

Since it could be executed even by an Energy Disperse Stage leveler, it has powerful effect in restraining enemies of Disk Formation leveler.

Then there is also the Immortal Hand Overturning the Heaven Formation. Like the name of the formation it overturns the Heavens. 

There is not many that become the victim of this formation but he had learned a lot from this formation. 

When the information about this formation enters his mind, he has learned its intricacies and mysteries and as such it deepens Azief own understanding of how to use powers and the magical aspect of it.

Then there is Imprisoning the Demons under One Palm formation. It is the most energy taxing formation since it used up the Will of the World

Azief had not even mastered it even though the information had already been given to him. But while he did not master it, he did fuse a bit of what he learned into his World Cleaving Palm

Then there is Time Reverse Formation. Azief had a hunch that the Time Reverse formation and the Reverse word spell from the Ring of Words could complement each other. 

Unfortunately, Azief didn’t master both yet.
