Lord Shadow

Chapter 1757: The Good Rewarded, Evil Punished

If he has to describe the experience of trying to see the fate and destiny of people in his world, it is like trying to force your way in a congested highway.

But looking at the fate and destiny of the people of this world is like speeding through an empty highway.

There is no obstruction and obstacle whatsoever.

So, he look at the future of these group of kids and he was surprised at what he sees. Since Azief interfere in this matter, the cause and effect between them has now formed.

And it is a very strong cause and effect.

Azief chuckles because he sees how the future of these people changes because of his interference.

And that future he saw could still be changed.

He look at the kid and then look at Marissa and then he grabbed her wrist.

This sudden movements shocked Jason but as he tries to touch the strange man he found out there was like an invincible barrier.

He was pushed away by this barrier and nearly fall back on the ground.

Marissa was shocked and tries to pull her hand but she found out that she could not move. It is like she is petrified. ”Your fate and destiny has been changed and there is now cause and effect between you and me. So, you will bear my Mark in this world. It is a curse. And a blessing. It is the price for your life.”

Ssszz!

Suddenly there is a sizzling sound and everyone could see that the strange man arm is glowing red and one could hear the sound of Marissa skin being burned.

Marrisa winced but the pain is not as severe as she thought.

She does feel there is something being carved on her skin but she did not feel that much pain. Then Azief release his hand and everyone could see that there is mark on her hand.

There is something like a rune on her wrist.

It is like a tattoo being carved on her wrist.

But then only after a few second, the tattoo seems to sink deep into her skin and the mark disappears and no one could see it.

But Marrissa knows the mark is still there.

She just felt it instinctively.

Azief remember there is something else that he needs to do. Then he looks at the kid and said ”I trust that you would not tell what happen today to anyone else.” One of them ask, ”what would happen if we tell it to anyone else?” Azief chuckles and simply said ”Would they believe the words of a few kids? I warn you. If you do it, you would be ridiculed” Then he look at Marrisa, Jason and Ethan and he shakes his head with a smile

He crouch down for a second, look at Marissa and said to her ”Remember what I will say” Azief make sure she understood her. For a moment, there is only silence between them and Marissa could see that this strange man is waiting for an answer

So, she nodded ”The use of magic always have a price. Never do magic that would cross the line of that price. If you do...then death would be preferable”

Marissa seems dumbfounded for a moment. And it is understandable.

After all, he spoke about magic.

What happens to her right now might seem like a fever dream. And he himself did not give her time to calm down.

Azief knows Marrissa might not yet understand this.

It would take time.

And now, it is a time that she now have.

Azief himself is not immune to the price of magic.

For the lowly magic, equivalent exchange is the rule.

But when you could leverage more divine power, other kind of exchange is required.

For this world, he wonder what kind of laws would it follow and what kind of laws would it endorse?

And Azief had already seen the future of this girl.

One day, this word of his would help her. That is why it is important he says it. So, she would know.

And just by saying these words, Azief could already feel the changing fate and destiny of this girl once again.

Another death situation was resolved.

But this cause more and more deviations in the fate and destiny of this world.

Azief could see that Marissa would have to dela with more and more death calamity from now on.

She was destined to die here tonight.

But she did not.

And because of that, she now has become an anomaly in the operation of the world.

An anomaly of the operation of life and death.

And so, Azief could see whether he gives her the mark or not, this girl life would always be followed by Death.

Every few years, when the stars aligned, Death would try to take what is His.

The mark is a curse and blessing. Azief was not kidding about this.

The curse is that it would bring her into a lot of trouble.

The blessing was that with it, the death calamity would be controlled.

Because of the risky life she would have to undertake from now on, death would follow him. And when death is satiated, the duration between each death calamity would be lengthened.

After all, Azief could not be here all the time.

Azief had given all the advice he could.

He stands back up. Look at the three of them. There is Ethan. Jason. And Marissa. Once glance is enough for him to see their future and he smiles. ”I wonder what would you three bloom as?” a seed that he unintentionally sow would it become a weed on the ground or a beautiful flower.

Now, that certain things had changed, he wonders whether the destiny he had seen would also change. This kind of world also has its charm

Then Azief suddenly disappears from the area, leaving this group of kids bewildered and shocked.

Today, would be the day that changes the life of this group of kids forever. ....

Azief disappears but he did not disappear from the veil.

He is still in this world. Instead, he disappears to an alley.

He looks at the dilapidated building near the alley. He walks another step and suddenly he is in inside a flat.

There is woman inside that flat sitting on the old sofa with damp wet hair.

She looks distraught

The entire flat apartment does not have electricity because of the blackout. This woman is

Carol

She did not notice that in her flat apartment right now, there is another guest. She seems lost and empty.

Azief wonder what she thinks about.

Did she really feel guilty?

She might be.

After all, she is not someone who could kill people easily.

At least not at first.

Right now, she must feel guilty.

Yet, she also tries to rationalize it.

People would be soft hearted at this time

Because some people might believe that this woman could turn around. And Azief believe anything is possible.

However, Azief has certain perspective other people did not. He could see the past, present and future of people.

He could see her mental state. He could see the kind of choices that this woman would make.

And this woman is a mortal woman.

She would not change. Azief knows this best. Chances after chances. She must be punished.

But how to punish her? Kill her? Torture her?

Azief did not think much about this woman.

He wanted to erase this woman completely.

After all, Azief could see how this woman would grow up and how she would end up.

She would life a guilt free life.

She would not change. Nor would she turns around. An evil person like this have a good life.

She would become a drug dealer. She did not get caught. And in the cases where she did get caught, she is lucky that some people still believe that she could reform

Azief did not deny that there is people that would reform from drug. As long as the system is there, people with addiction could return back to normalcy.

But this nation he is in, clearly did not have the intention to reform prisoners. Azief did not care much about this world politics nor did he came here to change how this world is run

And her sin is not only about drug.

Azief had look at her life before. With her drug dealing activity, she would save some money and get out of this bad neighbourhood

But Azief seems more than just this success troy of a killer, drug dealer, shameless person. He sees all the connected cause and effect

When she sold all of those drugs, how many families she broke up. One could argue she is only part of the chain.

Yet, it is these chains that also does harm

She....is the tyranny of evil men.

She chose to do it. In this world, or in any other world, it might seem like there is no choice at all.

But there is always a choice. People just sometimes turns away from the choice. Because the other choice is hard to do

Right thing are always hard to practice.

When there is many evil people, right things would be vilified.

When there is rightness, there would be darkness that come to pervert it.

Azief judges her by the harm that she had already done and the harm that she would do. The killing tonight is the last line.

Now, that she has killed, this final line has been broken. ”This time you would not live a full life” >>
