Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Gripping my spear, I frowned, pondering over Ashna's and Grey's battle. It was despicable, but I needed to plan around if Grey is killed or somehow allowed her to escape.

"Shadow, evacuate this area. We do not need to search anymore, throw in the gas, and light this entire forest on fire," I said as I gripped Yura, making our way back to the surface.

With ash coving the heavens, I felt a shockwave of the Qi of Heaven and Earth appear as five heavenly realm enemy soldiers arrived, a hint of bloodlust pulsing from their bodies as one stepped out. "no were to go Ashen one,"

Not paying attention to him, I suddenly saw Oswin, Selma, and various members of his aristocracy arrive, their eyes stained with blood as they bellowed my name. "Arsene!!!!"

"Good job, My King, get them!!! GET THEM!!!" I shamelessly yelled, pointing at the heavenly-ranked men in the area. A glimmer of tears shone from my eyes staring at Oswin's furious expression. I figured Ashna's team was not briefed yet on the devastation I caused. I mean, I did just wipe out most of Pendragon, Godwin, and Romga.

Hiding my smile Oswin face twisted like a pig as he screamed, "ARSENE!!!!!!!!!!"

"MY KING!!!!!" I replied with a heartfelt tone getting a response from Ashna's heavenly ranked men.

"Tren, Leim, Van, Noah, get Oswin and his team. I'll handle Arsene," He yelled, bringing a cruel smile to my face.

To my side, my right-hand man, Shadow, swiftly whispered, "my lord, Clive's army is here. We can begin phase two."

Nodding Shadow faded like a ghost as I saw millions of light fill the mountains in the distance. Clive could be seen with a pale face as he sent me a derange scowl.

"Arsene," Millions yelled, causing me to quake.

"~Say my name~ Say my name~ " I sang, doing a little dance as I looked at the heavenly rank solder in the air. "You are surrounded. Kill yourself and save us the trouble."

Sneering, the already darkened skies exploded as a massive hole appeared in the skies. Eyeing the dark shadowy figure. I quickly grew pale as I saw Ashna descend, blood dripping from her face as she began hyperventilating. With a cold gleam, I looked around, not sensing Grey's aura.

"He is alive, Arsene... Grey cannot be killed by her, but he is trapped for now." Lilith whispered, bringing me a smile. "should we retreat?"

"Yes... Ashna cannot live here anymore. Not when she learns that I will be bombing her bases all around this island. SHe is done. I cannot kill her now, but I can slow her rise, and gray seemed to have done something. Her aura is fading.

"ARSENE," Ashna bellowed as she turned in my direction, a hint of bloodlust radiating from her eyes, "YOU WILL PAY, YOU AND THE KING OF HELL. ALL OF YOU WILL PAY. THE COURT OF NOX IS COMING!!!!"

With a disgusted look, I flicked her off, "Do you think he will allow you to leave with that body? You are using his wife, a man that should have left this small secluded world stayed behind just to kill you."

Hearing my words, the void began to distort as I felt a horrifying power poring from the void. A deep demonic aura could be felt as Greyson literally ripped the void apart with his arms. His body was free of injuries as he shivered with rage.

A deep fear covered my head as I felt his aura. Glancing at Lilith, she nodded, "Grey is an at realm known as Dao Serving, making a breakthrough into a realm known as World King. You may not know this, but after Heavenly Transformation comes Nascent Soul Dao Seed, Dao of Seeking, Dao Serving, then World King, World Saint, World Protector, and finally World God. All these are known as Moral Cultivation."

With a roar that shattered the very space, I was blasted away as Lilith gripped my collar, creating a barrier with the Dao of Space. Blood dripped from her mouth as she looked at Grey with wonder, "He is about to use Soulforce. We need to leave! NOW!!!"

"Not yet... they have not arrived," I whispered as I looked around. Grey was not in my plans. This was too crazy for me. Were Lilith not with me, that shockwave would have crippled me. Damn it, where is the Phoenix Sect!!!

"Sever thy chains, sever thy Dao, and I shall walk the path of a King, The path of destruction is mine alone," Grey whispered as dark clouds hung over the void, shaking the very earth below me. I could feel a profound aura rising up as he glared daggers into Ashana.

"Stop! You will kill everyone on this Island...What of your family, Greyson?" Ashana howled. However, her words suddenly faded as Olivia appeared, giving a slight bow.

"The Celestial Palace will be taking care of them, well at least Arsene's main family," She lightly said, "Forgive my late arrival, your excellency, but I'm afraid that we have decided to remove you. The Celestrial King has taken notice of your resurrection and has ordered your death."

"You!" Ashana screamed as she fearfully looked up at the heavens.

BOOOOOOM CRACK!!!!!! BOOOOM!!!!!!!!

Hearing the echoes of thunder and lightning flashing by with a profound power, I frown, sensing the very skin around my body beginning to throb in fear. Time had somehow stopped the only people seemingly aware being Lilith, Olivia, Ashna, and myself. Tears in the fabric of time began to rise up as massive booms began to echo, shattering the earth below.

Sneering at the pathetic weakness of mine, I saw a single bolt of lightning fall towards Grey like a shooting star. However, before it fell, I saw the very earth begin to disintegrate and churn as Grey opened his palm, literally catching the bolt of divine tribulation with disgust. As if holding filth, he looked up at the heavens viciously smiling. "Both Ashna and You are at fault. Why give me everything and take it away?" He wailed, shattering the bolt in his palm. Soulforce quickly began to rush out like a storm as he turned his attention towards Ashna.

Gulping, Ashan bolted off like a flash of lightning, fleeing in a horrified expression as Grey and Olivia gave chase. Grinning, I turned to Lilith. "Can you sense the Phoenix idiots?" I hurriedly asked, gazing at the heavenly rank rushing towards me like a madman as the time flow began to move.

However, he was abruptly stopped by two of my heavenly mercenaries and Jane. Rushing back with Lilith, I saw her shake her head, "Yes, there hiding near Clive's army."

"SHADOW, JANE DO IT NOW" I screamed as five massive formations began to rise within the heavens shooting down without a care.

Jane, however, had a poor expression as she began shedding tears. "Forgive me, my children. Mommy is leaving you," She whispered. Rushing towards CLives and his forces when her body began to shine with profound light.

"NOOO!!!" Clive yelled

~~~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~~~

Screams of suffering and death showered my ears as I could feel the very earth beginning to turn to magma from janes explosion. Clive's army was all but in disarray as a few hundred thousands began screaming, trying to escape the blast radius. Lilith and I, nevertheless, had begun our escape. Ashna's dogs were to be my escape. However, they themselves did not know.

Covering our bodies in darkness, Lilith and I faded from their perception as we fleed the battlefield.

However, just as we were about to return to the forest, a familiar face arrived as she smiled with a chilling air. "That is quite the ability. Of course, I cannot see or sense you, but that's why we have attacks that have an area of effect."

Feeling the air become chilly, I frowned as I turned to Lilith, who nodded, teleporting us high above the clouds. Taking her in my arms, I leaped on the air giving Elsa Viola a chilly glance as a massive explosion of ice enveloped three kilometers of space. Fost quickly consumed our bodes as we clenched our teeth, not daring to use Qi to defend against the frost.

Eyeing Lilith, I used the minimal amount of demonic qi fleeing as Elsa began spamming various artes covering the entire forest in an age of ice.
