Lord Shadow

Chapter 1358 A Name that Shakes the World In his eyes right now, he could see the beginning of humanity 

The beginning of humanity he saw did not show him the beginning of humanity in the ancient times

Instead, it shows the progress of humanity since the Fall. 

Since this sword is created with the help of the energy of the world that only originated after the Fall, that is probably why it shows the rise of humanity from the Fall and not before it

he saw the rise of humanity overcoming the obstacles of monsters and magical energy. 

His eyes seem to be able to see tens of thousands of stories of humans overcoming their limits and thrive in this new world.

His middle realm of Disk Formation rises until the pinnacle of the Disk Formation leveler. Arthur waves slightly the sword and the originally cloudless skies is filled with clouds which rushed for tens of thousands of kilometers to heeds his order

The golden light slowly dispersed and the sky closed up. The night once again become dark and Azief titanic Law Body also dissipated like a dust being blown by a wind. 

Arthur is standing in the sky, admiring his own power.

His body is still glowing golden and all kinds of knowledge had entered his mind the moment he touches that sword

He looks up and he could see that there is an eye in the sky. This eye is titanic in size and it is cold and unfeeling.

Looking at it, it felt like he would be sucked into that eye if he looks at it for too long so he looks back down. He knows that…. that is the Heavenly Will

Below, everyone could see the City Lord. Some people look at this and frowned.

ʼDeath Monarch crowns a Lord and give a Sword!ʼ one person said. Now, the whole world had known that Death Monarch had returned.

One could only imagine what would happen tomorrow. 

Right now, all the great powers in the world would no doubt be trying to think of countermeasures of Death Monarch return.

But what was that golden clouds and golden air that spreads out all over? 

Even the people who were hiding in the small islands near the coast of Arturia could not help but feel a brand new era had begun.

That era is halted when Death Monarch went to the Seresian world. And now that he had returned, the new era resumed

Arthur then flies back down and quickly enter back the City Lord residence. He arrived back at the Hall, and there standing in front of the open window looking at the night star is Death Monarch.

Beside him is the Ice Queen. It almost seems like he had never left the residence. Ahmad is standing on the corner of the room

He had already fly back to the residence when he was sure that Death Monarch is not hurting Arthur. 

He was as surprised as Arthur when he found out that Death Monarch is in the room while at the same time, his avatar is there in the middle of the city, standing like a giant that would stomp their city to oblivion. 

ʼArthur! Are you fine?ʼ Ahmad quickly goes to his side when he saw him appearing in the Hall.

Arthur nodded. 

Azief then turn his body to face Arthur. 

He waves his hand and in front of him, a sheathe appears. 

This sheathe is made from the laws of the world, tightly woven. The only way to cut this sheathe is to cut it using Law Comprehension. Other than that, there is no way of breaking this sheathe.

Azief waves his finger and the sheathe flew toward Arthur and Arthur grabbed it.

ʼThe sheathe for the swordʼ he said. Arthur was about to say something but Azief simply said

ʼI donʼt think you need my army now right?ʼ Arthur who was about to say something smiles bitterly and nodded

ʼNoʼ

ʼI have bestowed you with the fortune and luck of the world. The luck of humanity. That Sword in your hand carries the luck and fortune of humanity. The stronger humanity is, the more prosperous and thriving they are, the stronger the sword would becomeʼ

ʼWith that sword, you could manipulate the Heavenly Will a bit and uses its power. Other than Divine Comprehension leveler, you need not fear any Disk Formation leveler in the world for with that sword you have no peers in the same levelʼ Azief said

Ahmad hearing this from the side is very shocked. 

Even though he heard what Azief had said before, it is only now that it dawned on him that Death Monarch gives Arthur a very powerful weapon. 

Azief look at Arthur and then said

ʼYou know that wielding that sword means you have to follow the Will of the People?ʼ Azief asked. And Arthur nodded solemnly. Azief smiles and nodded and said

ʼThe moment you stray from that path, the power that was given to you would be taken back, and that Sword would reject you. Backlash from the sword could kill you. So, if you think of becoming a tyrant and killing people wherever you wanted, ask yourself…...is that the kind of things that the Sword you hold would approve? If not, you better not do it.ʼ

Then he added with a smile

ʼbecause maybe then the sword would fly to cut your own head. So be very cautious. Be very careful. And watch your steps. This is the price you pay for a power you do not deserveʼ 

There is silence in the room.

He nodded and Death Monarch only smiles

  Arthur did not expect that in just a few hours, he now had enough power to make sure that he would not fear anyone in this city. He always had to watch his move fearing to offend any of the ten factions.

But now, he could sweep away all of this obstacles with a swing of his sword. 

He knows that Death Monarch gave him this to make sure that he has an ally here. 

Death Monarch must have understood that it is not easy to take root in the Turbulent Seas after having the knowledge of the Ten Seas

He also knows that Death Monarch means well. As long as he does not betray the will of the people and the will of humanity…. then he would not have to worry about the backlash of the sword. 

Azief then said

ʼI would like to stay here for a whileʼ Arthur did not hesitate after hearing this and quickly order his subordinate to escort Death Monarch to his room. 

Azief from beginning to end did not ask for that sword back. The meaning is very clear. That sword is left to him. Arthur look at that sword and sighed

The power is good and all but he also knows that it comes with a huge responsibility.

He looks at Ahmad who is standing beside him and smiling he said

ʼIʼll explain everything to youʼ

Then they left the hall, leaving an empty place. 

Outside of the city lord residence however is a scene of chaos. The markets are closed.

Some people had speculated that there might be some deal between Death Monarch and the City Lord. 

Some people smells opportunities. Some people smell danger. 

Maybe, it is one and the same

Outside of the island, far away from the Turbulent Sea, all the Seven Great Power is now in a rush. All the intelligence agency of these great power is mobilized. 

The order is the same

Find out where is Death Monarch!

The name Arthur Foster is also mentioned and this person who is very low in the priority of the great powers suddenly rose to the top ten

In Pandemonium, the Three Army that have not moved since Death Monarch absence began to mobilize its personnel.

Pandemonium is opened. 

It did not take long before someone finds out that Arthur Foster is the City Lord of Arturia, a large island in the Turbulent Sea.

But the Turbulent Sea is a wide sea with great dangers. Just because they know that Death Monarch is in Turbulent Sea did not mean they know the exact location.

But Pandemonium did not hesitate. They send ships toward the sea rushing toward the waves to the Turbulent Sea.

They did not use Battlestar since they know that Turbulent Seas have its own rules.  And if Pandemonium moves, how could the World Government and the Republic sit still?

All day, there is rapid news all over the world. 

the situation is developing by the seconds. Even those who had lived far away from the area controlled by the Seven Great Power had no choice but to pay attention to the news

The return of Death Monarch affects the world politics.  And while some make a move, some uses this opportunity to hide.

The Crime Alliance was the first that makes a move even before Pandemonium. They quickly send their people to retreat from the Turbulent Sea.

It did not matter how much they lost in profit or whatever influence they have in the Turbulent Sea right now

Life is more important. They know if they donʼt pull their forces right now, they might not have another chance to do so. 

In the span of one hour, tens of thousands of ships leave the domain of the Turbulent Sea. The name of Death Monarch is like a forbidden word, a nightmare.

That name alone is enough to frighten the Crime Alliance, the largest organization of criminals in the world.
