Lord Shadow

Then in one moment all that blue light forms a powerful pressure that pushed the door of the Gate open.

It was only now that Azief suddenly realize that the Gate slowly getting bigger and bigger.

And as he looks at that titanic size door gate. he felt like he was standing upon the Gate of Heavens, feeling insignificant and weak when presented with such power.

It was then he saw something else that make him tremble. Inside that door there is only blue color spirals and it is full of restriction and magical formation.

Just one look and he knows that this formation could never be broken.

Then to his shock he could feel one of the rings in his finger seeks to resonate with the Gate as he felt one of his finger shaking.

Azief look at his finger in shock.

The ring that is reacting to the gate is the Ring of Grand Formation.

A blue wisp of light enters the ring and his ring glows blue. Azief could feel there is another formation in his ring.

It was at this time his curiosity trumps his fear.

He was always wondering about this ring that he has.

It has been with him the longest.

He knows it is a supreme treasure but on Earth he never had to use it that many times.

Each of this ring ability would shock anyone.

And he never uses all ten of them. The ring he used the most in his journey is the Ring of Grand Formation.

After he reached Disk Formation he was concentrating on how to break through and summon the Supremacy Stairway so he tries to stop relying on the ring and instead prefer to use his own prowess to gain understanding and comprehension of his Disk.

However, throughout the years he got a few hints what this ring is and the true owner of this ring.

He knows that this ring in the Seresian world was fought over by all the Demon Kings creating a large war.

Alsurt in his captivity recognize this ring and even Azul admitted that he knows the owner of the ring.

It all suggested that the first bearer of this ring is probably a powerful peak expert in the Universe.

The spell and ability contained in each of this ring could be considered godly and at the same time devilish. Even most of his Disk is formed from the energy inside this Ring.

Today, as he walks through the stairway that would connect him to the Supremacy Stairway, a gate appeared and seems to form resonance with his ring.

‘This is unbelievable’ he thought to himself. It made him want to believe in Fate and Destiny. Or maybe it is Karma

He looks at his rings and he could see ach one of it glows with blue light. He was excited but then his expression turned pale and darkened

Then he widened his eyes and tries to distance himself from the door.

He distances himself from the Gate but it felt like the Gate is everywhere around him. The feeling he had is pressuring

Even though he is sure he distances himself he felt like he did not even move as the Gate seems to still be in front of him like he had never move.

The more he looks at the Gate the more he felt fear and apprehension. He felt like the sense of something very ancient and something very powerful that exist behind the Gate

This time his excitement was doused almost immediately.

For some reason he felt excitement when he saw the Gate and the moment he realizes that he felt excitement he knows that something is wrong.

The reason is because he felt excitement. For some reason when he should have been feeling fear, he felt excitement.

The fact that this Gate could cause such change in emotion in his heart is in itself very mysterious and elicited deep fear in Azief heart

He looks at the Gate with dread and dread. It was like the Gate wanted to be opened. No, it is not wanted.

It wants to be opened. And for some reason Azief felt that the Gate wanted to be opened by him.

It affected him and affected his emotions.

This time without a doubt he felt a sense of fear now that he realizes that the Gate is affecting his emotions

This kind of emotion is extremely rare for him. Upon feeling his own fear, his eyes revealed a sign of struggle.

He felt like he is being controlled by someone. Now that he thinks about it instead of the feeling of being controlled by someone, he felt like a Will is slowly influencing his emotion and mind.

Now that he thinks about it again why does he push that door instinctively?

He is usually more cautious than that but suddenly when that Gate appears the first thing he did was to push it door?

Azief felt uncomfortable right now.

His Grand Path is always about freedom and he didn’t like this fleeing of being controlled by some invisible hands in the dark.

And this fear…. he also didn’t like it.

Because this fear is almost instinctive and he simply couldn’t erase this fear that is slowly festering in his heart

It was like the aura and energy that is coming out from this gate is on a completely different level from him and it is a gap that he could never cross

He had never felt like this before. He felt shocked but never he felt this hopeless. He didn’t experience this trembling in his own soul that made him feel like he couldn’t even resist under such might

It was like he was mortal again. At the same time also felt awe that came from the bottom of his heart

Rarely now there is anything in the Universe that awe him. But from the moment he walks that stairway, he had experience so much new thigs and he knows that his decision to venture out was the right decision.

There is so much more to explore. As he become stronger and his experience increased this kind of awe or respect gradually vanished.

But at this moment, floating in front of this titanic door that seems to cover anything, his mind and body is shaking.

His eyes are no longer blue but it is bloodshot like he is struggling with something.

His Defiant Heart that he got from Azul is roaring in defiance in his consciousness to fight with this foreign Will that is trying to influence Azief.

And that Defiant Heart is bolstered by Azief own Will.

He wanted to defy this control of fear and emotions that this Gate has subjected him into even if he has to die.

He could feel that this Gate wants him to jump through that Gate and he knowns the moment that jump inside that Gate he might become even more powerful

It is a fortunate encounter…. yes…. but it is not a fortune he wanted.

Will not be saying anything this chapter. I’m trying not to spoil it for the readers. Ciao. And please voet and leave some comments. I like compliments and it is better to write kind words than hate. Though I would always welcome constructive criticism. Just dont write Go die or something like that.

And I know about the grammar. I am ashamed of it too but I must confess that I usually prioritizes speed over the grammar.

I like to hire someone but as you all know I am penniless. Maybe not that bad anymore but I still didnt ahve enough buck to hire people to help me with the grammar and I dont know how much I have to pay for somoe to edit all 400 chapters of my story and this story is just beginning.
