Lord Shadow

Chapter 1747: Rising from The Ground

There is a matter in the past that he remember that has some relation to this kind of matter. Before the ceiling of power was broken by him, the ceiling of power in the world was Disk Formation levelers

And there was a case of two Disk Formation levelers crashing with each other in the sky.

Both of them have great pride and they are also easy to anger.

And a small problem that should be resolved easily escalated into a battle

Both of them crushed mountains and hills, diverted the river water, poke a hole in the sky and accidentally wipes out an entire village

These two people then was arrested by the World Security Council Security Force and has been in prison ever since.

Azief saw some people who were flying and he would greet them when he saw them. However, he did not stop to inquire thing.

And right now, he did the same with the city

But since he did not want anyone to know where he is right now, he avoided flying over places that might seem inhabited.

Instead, he flies through empty land.

And empty land in this new world is numerous.

And if that is not enough Azief also uses all kinds of invisibility methods to make sure no one could see him

And after another hour, he finally found what he wanted.

A small island far away from any other land. Like a lone island in the vast sea. Like a pebble floating on the vast ocean.

That is how he sees this one small island.

He landed on the island and the first thing he do is activated his Divine Sense

There is nothing dangerous on the island.

There is some beast but these beasts are mostly herbivore types.

Even though many new animals and beast has now filled the world, Azief had learned a bit from the bestiary of the Order of Thinkers and he knows a few beasts that does not eat meat.

There is this platypus looking things that would rest near the shore of the beach but would quickly swims away and dive into the ocean if they feel threatened.

And of course, there is some large insects crawling around.

And some of them become very big and some of them become very small

Just like the platypus looking thing, these insects that he inspected is not dangerous.

Azief nodded to himself and then he walk toward the center of the island.

At least it looks like the center to him. He was about to bring out the crystal when he stop and halted ”Forgot” he mutters. Then he waves his hand and the ring on his finger glows.

The ring on his finger is now only one.

Not ten.

But it has all the spell of the ten rings.

This is also one of the things that he want to delve on later

He waves his hand and a powerful formation surrounded the small island.

Right now, if any other people look at this island, they would not see him but see like a common scene that this island would always produce.

It is like deceiving the senses.

Like looping a video replay.

Azief uses the mirage of time to trick anyone coming to the island to think that there is nothing wrong about this island ”Now that is finished, I could move on to the next step” he thought to himself.

Azief feel that unless those three people look around this island.

The formation would hold.

It is a pity that he did not have his full power.

If he is in full power, the formation that he could create would be even more perfect and even if Raymond, Hikigaya and Oreki combine their power, they would not find anything wrong with this island. ”I have to work with what I got” he mutters and then he laughs.

Then he throws out the crystal into the ground.

As he throws it to the ground, he inject an energy into the crystal. But the energy he injected is not normal energy.

It is the energy of the All Source.

By now, he already understood certain things about the blue crystal.

And as that crystal landed on the ground, it pierced deep into the ground like a hot knife cutting through butter.

And then there is silence.

But Azief was not disappointed from the lack of changes.

Instead, he stands there.

He did not move from his position.

He just waited.

And waited a bit more.

And then as a few minute passes, he chuckles.

He smiles.

And then he laughed.

Because suddenly the small cut on the ground become bigger. Like a fissure that is about to collapse downward.

Azief did not run as the cracks in the ground become bigger and larger.

BOOM!

The ground collapses, the dust rises, and the entire island seems to shake. The fault lines on the ground grew and expand in a matter of seconds

The birds on the trees flies away in a panic, the platypus like thing on the shore shriek and then swim toward the ocean and dive deep.

The slithering creatures quickly scattered to all direction.

The ground beneath Azief feet falls down to the bottom. But Azief is floating and he did not fall as the ground beneath him gave way to a large crater.

Azief look down on the ground and he could see that the blue crystal is still the same blue crystal only it is floating below him.

It melts....no it disintegrates everything around it. And then.... then it grew. From the blue crystal, energy gathered on it, this energy then morphed into a solid thing, a crystal-like vine that pierce the ground on the bottom, on the left and right like it is a tree that is putting its root down.

It was like the blue network is the heart and these vines A network of crystal attached to the ground

BOOOM!

HONG! HONG!

Azief eyes narrows ”Itʼs gathering energy?”

The blue crystal glows even brighter like it wanted to compete with the brightness of the sun. ”No, it is releasing energy!” Azief thought

Swish! ”Whoa!” Azief said as he swerves away avoiding the energy beam

Suddenly the blue crystal emanated energy that shoot out toward the sky. A blue beam that pierced the heavens above and a wave of energy swept all across the island.

Azief eyes narrowed. ”This energy...pure and powerful” It is like All Source energy.... but more...ancient.

It reminded him of something and as he thinks what it reminded him., he got the answer. It reminded him of the energy of the Etherna

The blue energy pierced the sky for only a second. And then it disappeared.

The energy also did not spread out.

Azief was panicked for a second that the blue crystal would exert even more energy and make the whole world focus on this place

That is not something he wanted to happen

Fortunately, that did not happen.

However, even though the energy did not blast out toward the sky again, the energy keeps creating pulses all over the entire island.

Pulses of energy that sweeps all over the island.

It sweeps the island in a wavelike fashion, one after the other.

For eight times, these waves of energy rolled onto the land of this island

But it did not destroy the island. Instead, it seems to imbue the island with a certain kind of energy that is foreign to this world yet familiar at the same time.

Just like an older version of the energy that is spread out by heaven and earth

Azief senses all of this but he did not dare to make any conclusion about what kind of energy this is because the waves comes and goes in a lightning speed.

One waves after the other, each time faster than the last

This energy also seems very sentient. Even though it could pass through the formation he had made, it restrains itself and only emanate this energy on the island.

Azief wanted to see what would happen.

That is why even after the waves of energy keep pounding and keep sweeping the island, he did nothing to try to stop it.

He observes and he waited. ”Something must happen by now”

BOOOM!

He heard one section of the island falls down.

He looks at the source of the sound, flying closer to it and there is a smile on his face

The deep crater that was formed because of the blue crystal caved down, creating a deep sinkhole and the crystals vines had embed itself deeper down to the ground

And now the walls of the ground is blue and one could see blue veins, like the earth itself is alive.

This blue veins on the soil wall is the vines of the blue crystal, acting like roots that keep the ground from eroding.

Then Azief narrows his eyes as he could feel the shaking of the earth below him

WROOOH!

A weird sound comes from the darkness of the depths of the sinkhole and his eyes could see it

Crystal structure rises from the depths of the darkness of the sinkhole >>
