Lord Shadow

There is dust all around him and flames and all kinds of elements swirling around. Some of it was on the air and quickly falling down

There is a person in golden armor in the eye of this storm of dust. He is large and tall in the right proportion.

Most of his golden armor had fallen off. There is his gauntlet on the ground, slowly breaking. There is wound on his forehead.

CRACK!

The armor on his body is cracking and slowly falling off revealing this person muscly body. This man has a blond hair and blue eyes.

The face is pale white and handsome, having no flaws and no imperfection. The muscle is pronounced and an aura of power radiated from him.

He coughed up and golden blood spurted out from his mouth. His chest is heaving up and down, the pain could be felt with each breath

The knees are trembling but he still manages to stand.

The fire sometimes licks his body but he simply ignores the fire that could not burn but the outer layer of his skin

This person is none other than the former number two in the world, Raymond the Earthshaker. There is a mace that he wields. Around this mace a powerful force is slowly dying down

'Old friend, you do not speak here. I guess there are things that even you are not capable of' he mutters.

Raymond look around him. Even though the dust has not yet settled, his eyes could see through the dust.

He had battled furiously from the moment he enters this island. He thought it would be an easy fight. Not to mention that he has Sofia.

But, it is not as easy as he thought.

'This island is very weird' he thought to himself.

Right now, he finally has the time to think for a bit. Before, he only could respond to the situation and he did not have time to analyze anything

He still remembers it. He barges in.

When he barges in, even though it seems like the wind did not do him any damage but he and Sofia realizes that as they enter, some of their powers and energy was drained by that wind.

It was then that both of them realizes.

The more people tries to enter the island, the wind barrier that protects it becomes even stronger. Those who came the earliest had it the easiest.

And as more people enter through the wind barrier, the stronger the wind barrier became

In that one second, Raymond understood why such things happen.

It is to limit the people getting the trident

This is only his speculation but he thinks that he had hit it on the head.

As for why he is bleeding all over, leaving him in such a sorry sight it was that when he landed on the ground, he was immediately attacked by twenty-four people.

They immediately know who he is and who Sofia was and their fight which was not that intense in the beginning suddenly turns intense as they have a target

It is clear that while Crime Alliance and the pirates compete each other for the trident, they were not antagonistic to each other that much.

This must be some order from the top which lead them to having something akin of a small battle, more like a sparring and why they have only small injuries.

But the moment Raymond enter into this equation its different. It is a battle. It is war.

Raymond does not simply represent himself.

He also represents the force behind him.

And so, the battle began almost immediately the moment he enters the island.

Raymond had to use all of his power simply to defend against these attack from the very beginning

Sofia also has her own tricks but he wanted her to use her trump card later when the situation really needed it.

So, it was Raymond that went on a rampage against these twenty-four people.

Each and every Disk Formation levelers could be considered a walking nuclear weapon.

If Raymond was in Divine Comprehension realm, such act of fighting twenty-four people whose level is around Seed Forming and Disk Formation is without a doubt something that to the eyes of other people…. simple

But Raymond is Disk Formation leveler. Regardless of whether he is in the pinnacle realm of Disk Formation, he is still a Disk Formation leveler.

Those twenty-four people were either Seed Forming realm or Disk Formation realm. But, he alone fights these twenty-four people in the beginning.

If the world knows about this battle, they would surely be shocked. Even though he is former number two in the world, no one would underestimate him.

When these twenty-four people attack him, the sky changed colors and the island seems like it would be destroyed.

Raymond erected Earth Wall, raises the land and changes the terrains. The blast would destroy these fortifications but did not reach Raymond.

Sofia would be far away from Raymond, her bow aimed near Raymond. if Raymond could not handle it, she would unleash her arrow.

She was his backup.

He changes the terrains, making the geography around him make it easy for him to attack, and make it easy for him to defend

When he sees an opening he would rush out from under the earth or out of the Earth Wall and tore into these people like a lion grabbing a sheep.

When he punches, it was like a million-ton pound force is unleashed. The wind would howl and space breaks

When he kicks people the force shakes the island. He crushes people either by hugging them and breaking everyone in that person body or smash them with his hand and his weapon.

Some he crushes with his fist, others he smashed with his mace. Every once in while he would use the advantage of raising the terrains to take the enemy by surprise.

booming sound echoes like a music notes, endless and varied.

Here, flying is hard.

It is not impossible but hard to do since the wind barrier seems to neutralize the force of the flying.

But twenty-four people who have their own skills and power and most of whom are in Disk Formation level, even though Raymond himself is on the high realm of Disk Formation, his power was greatly reduced as he enters the wind barrier

So, he could not dominate as usual and that led to a great battle.

But, in this battle Raymond and tense people also notices something special about this island

Usually, with so many Disk Formation levelers fighting in such a small island, the island should have been destroyed into pieces.

Yet, the island still stands' this is the thought of everyone. So, the moment that they realized that their battle would not destroy the island, they went all out

Even though all of their powers were reduced when they enter the wind barrier, even a dying Disk Formation leveler could burst out in brilliant light that could be compared to the brightness of the sun, what more these people?

They fought with all kinds of magical skills.

And if not for the wind barrier holding on and absorbing these destructive force, it is estimated that the entire sea could feel it.

And that is a tall order in this new world considering the sea itself is vast and large.

The current Turbulent Sea could fit all the seven continents of the Old Earth and still have vast area where it almost seems endless.

Juts imagining it is hard

That is how Raymond ended up like this. Broken land injured. In that battle, the Divine Archer did not once release her arrow.

Because she believes that Raymond could win. And even he looks pathetic right now, the aura of invincibility around his body is congealing into a belief.

​ Even in his current broken state he looks majestic. Because he won. He is heavily injured but he is still alive

Those people that attacked him are either dead or heavily injured. Looking it in any other way, Raymond still won.

The battle is half over. Right now, he is simply looking at the aftermath of this battle.

The entire island was torn apart but it still exists. It did not crack into two but there is many damage that could be seen all over

Flames and dust are everywhere. Some places even have some storms, some of which are flaming storms.

But any force that want to go outward would be neutralized by the wind barrier surrounding the island.

'It is truly amazing' he said as he thought of this wind barrier. He did not see its mystery but he is quite sure that the wind consisted of magic particle.

Still, he is very thankful for the wind barrier.

If not, this battle would have alerted most of the islands in the one thousand kilometer radius. And if that were to happen, it would also alert other forces.

And if they knew, it would not be long before Arturia knows. Raymond got all the details before he came here

He knew that there would be a World Council meeting in Arturia. It means everyone who is someone from the world power would all converge in the Turbulent Sea.

Hirate reminded him to go fast and furious.

Basically, he should quickly take the trident without alerting anyone from the world powers.
