Lord Shadow

Chapter 1875: Sucked In



Azief does hear that there is many dark magic that uses newly born child souls. And each one of them is dark. And each one of them would have a price.

"This is not the time to think about souls" Azief thought to himself.

Azief opens his eyes and he could no longer sense that aura. But now, everything is different in his eyes

Because now he knows it exist. A kind of will that seems to be gestating. A force, beating with power. Like some kind of a heartbeat.

"What is this temple actually?" he thought to himself. It serves too many functions and have too many mysteries....even more so than what he was expecting

He keep walking but as he keeps walking he began to forget. Did he walk upstairs or downstairs?

Where is he going? Slowly, he feel dizzy.

Then he shakes his head and found that he is back to the ground level. He is still in front of the staircase

And for a moment he was simply standing there trying to make sense of what just happens.

Like a bad acid trip

Then he remembers that he was walking up. He close his eyes takes a deep breath and recall what he had seen

"It was not an illusion" he mutters to himself.

He was right.

It was not an illusion.

He really did go up

As for why he is back on the ground level, it is because the space

The space around the temple is unstable.

So, if he walks onto an unstable space he might be teleported to a different place inside the temple.

"In a way, if you knew where the unstable space is, you would be able to take a shortcut."

Like some kind of tunnel of space and time.

It would act as a great measure of security.

If one manage to intrude into this temple, then even if they get inside this temple, the initiative would still be on the hands of the people who guarded this temple

Azief find the idea quite novel.

The thing is to create such a thing is hard.

Not only you have to create it, you also have to remember where this space tunnel is.

"this time as long as I am ready" he thought to himself.

He looks behind him and he sees Wargod looking at the wall.

But unlike Will and Samara his eyes did not become cloudy nor does he get enchanted by the walls of the Temple.

Instead, Wargod seems to be looking at the temple with a hint of sadness.

Azief does not claim he could understand what Wargod is feeling.

But knowing the backstory of Wargod and knowing the fate of his race...... he could at least understand where he is coming from

This temple might be something familiar for Wargod.

Azief did think that Wargod acquire this temple because he wanted to scheme against some beings.

Or some plans.

But the more he sees Wargod looking at the temple, the more he feels that this "purchase" of the Temple might be for something more personal.

Wargod might just simply want the Temple to remember some old memories. For old beings like them, what is left.....other than memories?

Azief look back at the stairway. This time he takes a deep breath and release his Divine Sense. Once again he walk up but this time, he notices it.

Notices the space folding, the unstable time space and he quickly navigates the room. Azief himself did not know what he should be looking at or what he should be doing

Nothing is more frustrating than knowing you have to see something or do something but not knowing what is it that you have to see or do.

He keeps looking at the wall.

Most of the murals shows a fight.

Maybe a fight between Savi'krian race and some beast or some kind of titanic monster.

He could only make sense based on his own understanding. But then he saw something. And when he look at it, his eye seems to hurt.

"What is this?" Azief look at himself and then he saw a translucent thread

"Cause and effect?" he thought to himself He come closer to the painting that causes him

some pain

Then he was sucked into a vision.

It was like he was thrust into the action.

BOOM!

Clang! Azief however was not surprised at all.

This experience is like he was brought into a part of one history. Just like when the Creator wanted to show him a fragment of a story of the past

Right now, he saw a Demon-like creatures fighting human-like creatures. No, it is an army of demon like creatures fighting a human army

There is giants. There is Orcs. There is also kobolds and Fae

It took some time for Azief to make sense what he is seeing

But once he had enough time to make sense of what he is seeing, he was shocked. Because he knows this. Or at least he recognizes this

That demon-like creature is the Demon Army. And the Human army is also something he

recognizes

"Earth X"

Azief knows this world. This is the world of Arial. This is the Edenian Empire ruled by the

Vermont family

He saved Arial.

And that create a bond of cause and effect between him and the Creator.

Because the vessel of the Creator is Arial. From the moment he was born, he was destined to

be the Creator

Azief was stuck in this world with Will and he helped Arial fights the Darkness. Then without knowing the aftermath they gone home

Of course, after meeting the Creator he got the confirmation that Arial had won that battle But...what is this? He thought to himself.

A Demon race army attacking the city. He look at the city and he could guess what city is this.

Vern Empire.

The surrounding is a bit different from what he had seen before but there is some buildings he

had recognized.

From what he remember the Demon Army in Arakath and the Edenian Empire is allied with each other and the relation between the Emperor and the Demon King is quite close Arakath and Davarus both are in a peaceful and allied relationship. That is what he gathers

from his brief time in Earth X

Azief could not make sense what he is seeing but he calms himself down

Then he began observing the things that is happening around him

"This is quite peculiar" he thought to himself.

It is no wonder he thought like this. This kind of feeling is very familiar. It reminds him of

that "time"

And he could not help but chuckles a bit.

Because he knows he is in an illusion and all the things that is happening around him right

now could not harm him

Since that is the case, he is not afraid. Instead, the moment he calms himself down he already

have the feeling of just being a spectator.

He looks around him and then he frowned.

He look toward the army of humans and his eyes zoom on one soldier. Or to be more accurate

he zooms on the soldier uniform

"Now....this is interesting"

The Eden Empire army has their own uniform.

"This is not the Edenian empire soldier uniform. Azief still remembers most of his experience

with Arial.

Arial was fighting the Darkness of this world. From what Azief understand, and fully comprehended later, Arial in this world is its messiah.

Someone who is mentioned in the Ages prophecy. Prophecy in this world is very much...hard

to change.

Ancient magic existed and all kinds of miracles could happen. The Divine and mortals is not

that far apart.

But that is another story. Azief did not stick around long enough to see the winner of that clash. But he did remember something about Arial and the army of the Edenian empire.

By that time, all of Davarus was under the Edenian Empire so it is not wrong to say it is the

Edenian Continent.

Arial at that time uses the thirteen tribes to fight the Darkness and they did not wear the same uniform as the regular army of the Edenian Empire.

But the uniform that the army of the human race that is now fighting the Demon Race army is clearly nothing that looks like Edenian Empire uniform

He thought about it as he tries to make sense of the timeline of this vision. He is sure this is Earth X. he solve the where. What he did not yet solve...is when

"this battle is really fierce" Azief could see the battle even more clearly than others because

he could use his superior eyesight and even his divine sense here in this vision. "this is not just some illusion. It is more like the temple transported me in that moment. But I

am more like some kind of observer. I could see things and even touch things but only the

things that does not affect the overall story of this time and space"

Like a moving painting. Like a VR experience. It is a projection of the past but a more

sophisticated VR

Azief for example could feel the wind and could feel the heat of this world like he was

transported to this world.
