Lord Shadow

Chapter 1626 Opportunity

In the far reaches of the world, nestled within an enigmatic shroud of perpetual mist, lay a cave veiled in mystery and guarded by an ethereal barrier.

This dense mist, a spectral veil that enveloped the cave day and night, created an impenetrable shield that deterred all but the most intrepid souls from venturing near.

The protective formation woven into the very fabric of this mist-shrouded cave rendered it an elusive and foreboding sanctuary.

At the break of dawn, the sunlight, though brilliant and radiant, found itself thwarted by the veiled enigma of the mist.

Its beams, desperate to pierce the supernatural fog, dissipated into a haze, unable to breach the otherworldly barrier that obscured the cave's entrance.

As twilight descended upon the land, daring intruders who dared to approach the mist-cloaked sanctuary were met with an ominous and formidable presence—the fog itself seemed to come alive.

The magical mist, imbued with mystical energies, coalesced and transformed into eerie fog beings, ethereal entities fashioned from the very essence of the mist itself.

These fog beings, guardians birthed from the mystical veil that enshrouded the cave, manifested in forms both eerie and elusive.

They moved with an otherworldly grace, their ethereal bodies shifting and swirling within the dense fog, ready to repel any intruder who dared to encroach upon the sanctity of the cave.

A sanctuary protected by a veil of mist that defied the natural order.

This is the cave of Hikigaya the Illusionist Archmage. But he is not alone. Inside the cave, there is another person

This enigmatic figure was none other than Oreki, the Thunder Monarch.

The pulsating energy of lightning enveloped him, a manifestation of his command over the elemental forces of thunder and electricity.

The lightning, obedient to his will, swirled and slithered around his body in an awe-inspiring display, casting a mesmerizing glow amidst the misty embrace of the cave.

Hikigaya and Oreki, each a master in their own arcane domains, stood within the confines of the mist-clad sanctuary, their presence a convergence of mystical prowess that resonated within the cave's ethereal embrace.

Hikigaya, the Illusionist Archmage, wove intricate illusions and arcane mysteries, while Oreki, the Thunder Monarch, commanded the primal forces of thunder and lightning with an authority that crackled within the very air.

Hikigaya is helping Oreki and Oreki is accepting the help

These are the Two Saints of Japan.

They are both inside the same cave and they both seems to be meditating. But suddenly Hikigaya opens his eyes.

"Hoh" he mutters

Like Jean he had also sense the calamity that seems to come down from the Heavens

He frowns but then he looks at Oreki and he was surprised.

Because Oreki has also opens his eyes.

"Did you sense that energy?" Hikigaya ask but Oreki shook his head.

"I don't know what energy you are talking about. I sense a different thing."

"what did you sense?"

Smiling Oreki mutters

"opportunity. My fated chance has come" he mutters and without explaining anything Oreki flies out of the cave.

At the same time Hikigaya also went out of the cave. The mist parted ways and two figures fly toward the sky

Hikigaya fly to the sky to assess the danger but Oreki flies to the sky to seek his fated chance.

Hikigaya could understand what Oreki is thinking and he could guess what Oreki means but Oreki could not understand Hikigaya means and method

This is simply because the difference of realm.

Hikigaya is simply a realm above Oreki and so, he could sense thing that Oreki could not sense.

Unless Oreki reach his level, he probably could not sense the calamity that is brewing above the sky.

Oreki look above him, look at the sky, look at the Heavens and he sighed

He tries to see it.

This opportunity. But he knows that this opportunity would come in the form of a thunder.

A thunder, a flash of lightning that could be the catalyst for him breaking through to the Divine Comprehension realm

He is waiting for a thunder and Hikigaya is creating illusion.

His finger pointed toward the sky and an eye opens up in the Void space that is created above the sky

An eye of illusion

These two looks at the sky and waited for different things

….

In the expansive embrace of the vast seas, where the boundaries between realms had blurred after the Multiversal Convergence, an awe-inspiring sight emerged—the floating island of the World Government, renowned and unparalleled in its grandeur.

Among the colossal bodies of water, this island stood as a beacon of tranquillity and authority, unrivalled in both size and renown.

The Island of Peace, as it was reverently named, existed as a singular entity—a colossal landmass adrift upon the endless expanse of the ocean.

Its sheer size matched only by its fame, it served as a testament to the might and influence of the World Government.

Upon its verdant surface sprawled sprawling cities, magnificent structures, and intricate spires and peaks

The floating island itself is a marvel—a convergence of advanced technology and ancient mysticism, blending together seamlessly to create a haven of nature.

Towering spires and opulent palaces adorned its landscape, a testament to the grandeur and authority of its ruling body.

As the seat of the World Government, the Island of Peace served as a neutral ground, where delegates, emissaries, and dignitaries from the other world powers convened to negotiate, mediate, and forge alliances that spanned the vast Earth.

The island itself seemed to defy the laws of nature, hovering above the tumultuous seas with an otherworldly grace.

Its presence commanded respect and reverence

And today someone suddenly flew up from the island reaching toward the sky.

This person has a trident on his hand and his trident controls the world, the waves went wild and quakes appears the moment this person appears.

With golden armour and golden helmet, this person is Raymond the Earthshaker. And the trident he brought with him is the trident of Poseidon

He looks even more majestic and his aura is very close to the aura emanated by a Divine Comprehension realm

But he is not in Divine comprehension realm

It seems like Raymond did not yet pierce that last barrier that separates the line between Disk Formation and Divine Comprehension realm.

The only reason that his power seems to be endless and approaching near the limit of the Disk Formation is because he is holding the trident of Poseidon

Raymond has some insight now how to get breakthrough to Divine Comprehension realm. And now as more people in the world walk ahead of him, he does feel a little unwilling to maintain the status quo.

Azief is travelling further and further into his Path

And Raymond, Hikigaya, Jean, and even Oreki also knows that to be strong, you have to walk your own path

Whether that path is aligned with the Heaven Will or not, as long as you walk your own path, there is nothing to worry about

Walk your own path, discover your own heart and desire and overcome your limit!

Raymond understands all of this. But he still could not break through. He is still like a man that is blind waving his hand forward trying to find a path.

But today, as he is thinking of this matter, he felt the suppression of the Heavenly Will. The feeling is subtle but with the trident in his hand, he could feel this suppression.

"Hoh. I bet if I didn't have this trident, I would not feel such suppression" he thought to himself

This alone should alarm him but that is not the thing that attracts him

It wasn't until he felt a different kind of oppression that he woke up from his meditation, flew out of his residence and now floating in the sky, looking at the heavens

And when he looks at the heavens above, he frowns and his eyes narrows like he wanted to see what the Heaven is hiding

And his heart beats like a war drum. Not because he is anxious. But because he could feel something. Like an instinct.

And then a mace flies toward the sky and floated beside Raymond

"What happened?' Raymond asks his mace. Any other person might think that talking with your weapon is the hallmark of going crazy

But everyone knows that Raymond has a magical mace. And this mace could talk. And it has a very foul mouth

But it is also one of Raymond most loyal companion

The mace then said

"The Will of the Universe is stimulated. Someone is trying to break a taboo. And as such, punishment must be levied"

The mace paused for a second before its voice echoes again around these two

"But a punishment for him is also an opportunity for him. Forging a body from energy, becoming soiled again" the mace is the talking mace of Raymond, Sharur.

And it is known that this mace while he could very well annoy you, it has a wealth of knowledge

One of the reasons why Raymond rose to the second stronger in the world in the past is inseparable with Sharur helps
