Lord Shadow

Chapter 1676: Resting

Azief could feel the weakness that is lingering in his body

He looks around and even though there is nothing weird about this island...and that is the weirdest part about it.

In Earth right now, everything is weird. The more it is normal, probably it hides weirder thing. ”White beaches, blue oceans, gentle winds. It is perfect” he paused for a second and a smirk could be seen at the edge of his mouth ”too perfect” he waves his hand; the laws of the world gather around his fingertips and he pointed toward the four directions around him and a fluctuation of energies emanate from four points of direction near the palm tree. ”A simple protection formation” he thought to himself. But his eyes is already heavy and he close his eyes ....

It took him a couple of try but he opens his eyes.

Around him everything is dark.

But the Moon still shines it light and there is no storm with cloudless skies, making him able to still see the area without having to use his enhanced senses

And in front of him is mass corpses of monsters. And he chuckles a bit ”I know my feeling is right” he thought to himself. The island was too perfect, too normal.

But he notices the weirdness of this island. He sees beautiful flowers, the unceasing waves, gentle and caressing but he did not see any beast.

No lizards, no animals at all.

There is insects.

But the insects is too normal.

He sees flies, butterfly, a few worms here and there, mosquitoes but all of them is normal

At that time, Azief did not have the time to check thoroughly. He was already at his limit at that time

So, he could only create a simple formation.

Even though he create just a simple warding formation, something simple that comes from his hand is not considered simple to the living beings of this world

After all, every move he makes, any magic he uses is imbued with the essence of Laws. Hence, his warding is full of the laws of the world

Unless they are of Divine Comprehension leveler, nothing could break this warding formation And it is because of that, this scene appears.

Just a few meters from him, there is a dead whale.

Though it did not look like a whale at all.

It has all the characterise of any large whale only that it has sharp teeth, jagged like a saw.

And on top of its head there is sharp spiralling horn. Azief could sense there is magic at the tip of that horn ”probably something that would be appreciated by crafter type profession” he thought to himself.

There is also the dead body of a thirty feet butterfly.

And there is also the corpse of a large worm like those sand worms in the Dune movie. From its bodies slimy thing is oozing out from its body

Looking at his left, he could see a serpent the size of a mountain. But it is slowly shrinking. Instead of leaking blood it is leaking energy.

A snake that is equal to a Divine Comprehension realm

That is the visual he is seeing right now.

And below these titanic monsters are other monsters

They all died and their blood fills the sandy area and flowing toward the sea

With this much blood it should have colour the blue sea into the colour of these monster blood, but the sea colour is still blue ”This water is also not normal” he thought to himself.

There is really dangers anywhere in the world now.

He thought to himself.

He wonders how people could survive in such a world imagine if a children wander in this kind of island.

There is only death waiting in this kind of environment.

Azief wanted to think the world is not a dark place but he sees so many things that he could not help but find there is darkness hiding in every corner of the light

He sighed

Then he slowly got up

He stretches his waist and then close and open his fist. ”Itʼs better now” he mutters to himself. All of that thunder energy has now been absorbed by his body. It injures him. But it also purify his body to reach another level ”Is that Zeus? Or is it someone pretending to be him? Or did I misunderstand the entire thing?” he thought to himself.

The thunder then....what is it?

He ask himself is it a warning? Or is it a form of help? He did not know what to make of this.

But he shakes his head out of this thought.

He look toward the distance and even though the world is now large, the distance is far away, he could still see.

He could still see her far away in the distance and he sighed. ”Showing one heart desire and then breaking it”

That is one of the tribulations he had to endure.

The mind tribulation.

And he nearly broke down there.

He did not mind being beaten down by the thunder using his body but when he was in that illusion, he nearly break

And the mind affect the body.

The body affect the circulations of energy. Since he pass the tribulation, his energy is very much in disorder.

It is not until now that the energy in his body has been stabilized.

And so, instead of going to Pandemonium to heal his wound, he is here, in a middle of a nowhere island

And he could not help but think of many things ”If I have the time for the world, I should have time for you. It is funny that I always say to myself not to regret it yet I keep regretting things. Things that I should do now, should not be put down tomorrow” he mutters to himself

He look at the distance. That place is filled with snow. And that place is on top of a hill. Filled with snowy caps peaks.

The hill looks more like a mountain. And on top of one of these peaks, lies a castle. A palace of

Ice.

His eyes look at that place and he seems to be staring at it.

He sighed.

This island is not far from that place.

Of course, when he said not far, it is not far from him. For any other people, trying to reach there would take months if not years.

If they walk and did not use any vehicles to go there it would ae decades. If they fly using planes it probably would take even longer.

Because the distance to travel to that area is fraught with dangers.

There is energy storms, cyclones of energy that disrupt weather, thunderstorm and many other disasters that could befall any aircraft.

Spacecraft powered with jet thrusters would be a better bet. And Battlestar could weather the bad weather.

This alone shows how difficult the journey would be and how long it would take.

But for him, one thought is enough to transport him there.

As long as he wanted to he could create tunnel of space, easily transporting him to that place

But he did not go.

This island is now experiencing night.

And the other place is also at night. But the night at that place is about to be replaced by dawn.

While the night of this island is in midnight.

And that person is sleeping. He did not want to disturb that person. ”It would not be bad to chill a bit. Take my time. Absorb what I have experienced. And.....look back at the path I walked” Azief look around him and thought to himself

He smiles

He chuckles. And then he laughs. Like he found something funny about his own thoughts

Then he looks at the minerals, the bones, the meat and the other things that has been dropped or could be dropped from the many corpses of monsters around him ”All of this stuff is useless to me. But maybe the Research Division would find use for it. There is myriads ways of reaching Transcendence. Maybe, all they need is a few resources to see thing they never see before” he thought to himself. ”That is another cause and effect that is being planted.” He mutters to himself

He walk along the shore and he reach a rocky part of the island.

As he walk he could see there is many sea creatures around the shores.

All of them is hiding themselves.

Some is hiding themselves near the surface of the island, camouflaging like they are the sea bottom, hidden by the sand

Even its energy is camouflaged.

Azief look at this and only smiles.

There is some more that hides deeper and could be find in a deeper part of the sea.

But none of them dares to attack him. Probably they also see what had happened to the other beings that tries to prey on him when he was asleep.

Though one might wonder why they would even come close to him. When he was in Divine Comprehension realm before, even if he did not create any warding formation, most beast and creatures would run away or hide when he is in the vicinity.

Azief realizes why. >>
