Lord Shadow

Chapter 1815: The Speedster is Missing

It did not take long for him to find it. The mist and the trees did not help but when he reached the clearing, he finally see it.

It only took him around fifteen minutes. It is good that the Andes Plain is flat and one could easily see the structure built here.

It helps that there is only this one building on top of this vast plain,

The Andes Plain is vast. But there is no villages on top of it, there is no city, there is no one living here even though it could be habitable. The first reason is because there is all kinds of monsters here. The second because of the unpredictable weather.

The third is because someone has claimed this place.

And his place is a Temple

An ancient Temple. And he saw it with a glance. Standing tall, was that ancient Temple. ”Does it seem bigger than the information?” he thought to himself. He had never come to this place. He never had any reason to come here.

Not to mention, this place is not easy to go to. And the information he has about this temple is already a ten year in need of an update

There is many information brokers but the more dangerous a place is, the more outdated the information. Even more so, when it involves a powerful person.

The only one that dares to sell information about the powerful people in the world is either part of the World Powers or the crime underworld.

The temple is larger than he had imagined. It almost seems like it is carved from titanic block of stone.

But from the image he got before, the Temple is not like this. Either the temple itself changed or the owner of the Temple had changed it

The reason why Antonius called it a Temple is because Erika called it a temple.

And it has all the traits of a temple.

It gleamed with traces of gold and sapphire.

As he come closer to the Temple, he could see that some of the pillars outside of the Temple is etched with runes

Even though he is not standing close to these pillars he could feel the pulsing of energy from the pillar.

It took from the surrounding and seems to be stored inside these pillars

The pulse of energy itself pulses faintly so that unless you pat attention to it, you would not notice it.

As he come closer to the Temple, he could see towering pillars that rose like sentinels, piercing the sky.

The Andes Plain itself after the expansion of the world seems to be elevated even higher, touching the clouds and the pressure of Heaven is strong here.

At the heart of this pillar like path, is a grand staircase that led up to an entrance. There is imposing archway illuminated by an otherworldly light

These light shifted between deep blue and radiant white.

He come close to the Temple.

He did not really know how to approach this person. But he doubt that this person doesnʼt know her is here.

But from the beginning, Antonius did not sense any Divine Sense sweeping outside.

He wonders whether the person he wanted to seek is not in the Temple

This is the Temple of an ancient being.

That is what Erika told him.

And she also reminded him to be respectful and do noy touch anything that belongs to the temple

This temple is where Will the Speedster seems to spend his time.

In the past twenty years, he sometimes would appear in public. Sometimes one would see him in Pandemonium.

But most of the time he seems to spend his time off world.

Many people have many theories on why he is outside of Earth so much.

Some said that he is trying t break though and he is training. Some said he goes to other planets and break through the fabric and reality of other worlds and goes there to practice. The reason why he does it at other world is because he fears that he would break through the already fragile fabric of reality of earth

Some said he is looking for someone. Some said he is looking for something

But every time he comes back, he would go back to this place. Then around ten years ago some people tries to come inside the temple

Will chase them away and then he simply told the world power that the Andes Plain is his place.

He claims it.

And whoever come to that place without informing him, then what happens to them is their consequences. It is a polite way of saying he would eradicate those who come to the temple without his permission

The world power did not even hesitate to agree.

Will himself is a powerful speedster not to mention he is the sworn brother of Death Monarch.

Would anyone want to offend him for a place that they have no use for? Even if that place has a use, there is no benefit in making an enemy of Will

Even so, Antonius did not know why Erika wanted him to check the Temple. He wonders why Erika did not just use her vision to try to see him

And she did not answer.

But the fact that she send him here means she doesnʼt know.

He come close to the entrance.

But as he tries to get closer, he could feel a force repelling him.

The closer he tries to inch toward the entrance of the temple, the stronger this repelling force

And then he sighed

He could not enter.

He looks behind him and he could see the runes on the pillar shines brightly. ”The pillars as the connector of energy toward the formation”

Antonius is powerful but that is when compared to his peers.

But when compared to the famous people in the world, Antonius is just but a small figure.

Will the Speedster is clearly someone that is beyond his power.

He could not break through this barrier. But while he might not have a way, Erika is prepared for this. He grabs something from his sleeve

It is a round small eye.

Antonius then throws this eyes toward the ground and as the eye falls to the ground it developed a crawly legs like a spider and began crawling forward and then like a fast-moving roach, it enters through the entrance

Antonius did not know how this eyes could bypass all the formation and the attacking formation but this moving eye managed to enter the temple.

He waited.

He just stand there outside the temple for an hour.

Then he saw the eye comes out of the entrance. The eye then jump toward him and he grabs the eye.

The legs retracted and Antonius crushed the eyes.

The eye was crushed, turning into golden dust.

And this golden dust flew toward his eyes and he opens his eye wide. These golden dust enter his eyes

Then he saw everything that the eye saw when it enters the temple.

There is a disappointed expression on his face as he sighed. The eye seen many things. And there are some thing it could not see.

But one thing is clear after seeing it. The Temple is still

There was no people inside it. The Speedster is not here. He could not help but frown at this.

He could only sigh. His job was not to find him. His job was only to confirm whether he is in the Temple. Since he is not, he just need to return back to Parnassus.

He sighed and then walk away. ”This would be a long ride home. I could only send the message after I found a post station. This place is too disruptive” he mutters to himself as he come down the from the plains. Usually, Erika would have seen this but right now, she herself is in the Temple of Erika doing something with Loki so she could not see what is happening on the Andes Plain. Antonis knows nothing about Will and why he had to confirm he was there in the Temple. But it must be for something. If not Erika would not him here.

He ahs many question but he is used to have many more question than answer.

He just needed to do this perfectly

As he left, the pillars outside the temple and inside the temple shining even more brightly.

And someone come out from the temple.

It is a woman, bathed in cold white light.

This woman look at the sky, sighed and then with one step she disappeared, leaving a powerful Speed Source around the Temple before the Speed Source was absorbed by the pillars

The thunder roars and lightning flashes bit Antonius did not notice any of this. He notice the weather and he thought it is only because the uncertain weather of this area.

He came down the plains without feeling much worry. ....
