Lord Shadow

And unlike the Soul, this Will is skin deep.

Which mean he could feel it more clearly than he could feel his soul which is like every part of him that could not be separated.

Azief hold out his palm.

And then he slowly closes his palm while concentrating.

Dark mist suddenly coming out from his chest, his hand, his feet and every part of his body. Like some kind of denizen of darkness, this dark mist concentrated toward his palm.

As it comes out from his body, Azief felt certain abilities that he has is being taken away.

His Reaper Sword slowly turns to ashes, the black aura that covers it dissipated. His Reaper Hood instantly become worn and a second later turn to ashes.

The Reaper Sword could consume lower level monster and the Reaper Hood decrease the chance of being detected by monstrous beast and mutated sapiens.

It also increases his dark attributes.

Other than that it also has the ability to increase the pressure of his high level on people and monster who possess lower strength than him

The Reaper sword also have the ability to transform as it grows stronger. Its ability is the art of invisibility and increases his stealth

There is a lot of buff for it

In the early years, it helps him greatly since he still needed stealth. And pressuring people with the buff of the sword is also useful

But from the moment he steps on the Perfection Path, strength and might become his forte and not his stealth.

And after mastering the Nine Sword Laws he did not even need to use the Reaper Sword. It collecting dust in his inventory bag. He even rarely used his inventory bag.

If its anyone else, they would fill their inventory bag with all kinds of potions and weapons. But it was different for him

Most of his problem on Earth Prime could be solved by swinging a simple swing of his hand. There is not many that could hurt him or that could force him to take them seriously.

He did not feel that he lost a lot by losing the Reaper Sword and the Reaper Hood but there is still this unrecognizable bitter smile on his face

Maybe it is simply nostalgia of a past.

He felt a part of him lost and the Will of the Shadow Lord had over him weakened. Azief eyes narrowed as he saw some of the strings on his body was cut off

‘I was right’ he thought to himself. The moment that string was cut off, Azief felt an even more purer energy seems to bursted out from him.

‘Refined pure energy’ he thought to himself as inside his body, his energy began synthesizing his blood and his entire body with refined energy

Sound of cracking could be heard exploding from his body, creating mini shockwave all around him.

It destabilizes the space around him because of the force of power coming out from every part of his being

For a large amount of pure energy, it would be refined into one drop of refined pure energy inside his body

His body right now is trying to refine one drop of pure energy. But before it could do that, it had to destroy the tainted energy inside Azief body

‘This much of advantage just by letting go some of the Shadow Lord abilities?’ he thought to himself

He was relieved that his guess was correct.

there is always a chance that he could be wrong.

In the end, he was right. Some of the obstacle that causes him to be unable to truly dive in deeper toward the perfection path is because of the Shadow Lord will

If he was to transform himself, he needs to let go of the Shadow Lord Will. Azief now having the right path laid out in front of him no longer hesitates.

Right now his face could be clearly seen. The hood had become part of his identity all of these years.

It does feel a bit awkward not having it over his head. He shakes his head and then he summons the Hidden Reaper blade.

Now, as he holds the blade, he could feel his connection with the blade is weakening.

As he rejected the Shadow Lord legacy, everything that is associated with the Shadow Lord legacy felt a rejection toward him

The blade is very small. As it is stored around the wrist area concealed by a hidden compartment under his Shadow Lord attire, it is hard to see.

And no one had been able to get close to Death Monarch all these years other than the people he trust

The last time he uses this blade was during his early years, when he was still in Pillar Forming fighting mutated sapiens.

It felt like a lifetime ago. He could sense that there is Death Aura all over the blade. This blade had taken quite a lot of lives, he thought to himself

‘While this blade no longer have that many uses, this death aura is still useful’ he thought to himself as he wipes his finger on the edges of the Hidden Reaper blade.

As he wipes the blade with his finger, the death aura around the blade was absorbed into Azief finger.

Azief took the energy on the blade for himself. And the blade cracked. Each lines of crack is very deep.

‘Thank you’ Azief said as he grip the blade with his bare hands and the force crack the space around him

And then the blade turns to dust, golden dust flying out his reach and dissipated. Like some kind of golden fireworks

The Will in that blade was extinguished, taking another form.

Azief could see that it somehow integrated into the energy all round him. Returning to the source, he thought to himself.

Azief felt again that his ability and control over shadows weaken. His ability to hid himself from lower level enemy sight dissipated with the destruction of the blade.

Azief then had another burst of energy as another one of his avatar fused. By now, three of his Law Avatar had fused with each other

He still had ten avatars to fuse together to create his Etherna soul. The entire space around him cracks and rift of space multiplied even more

But it was unlike the rift that opens up portal to other worlds.

This rift of space was formed simply because of the pressure of energy around it causing space to collapse inwardly.

Planets and stars nearby were also affected badly as some of them seems to be flatted by an invisible force in all direction.

Azief then look at his Reaper Vambrace on his wrist.

This vambrace increases his endurance and reflect enemy attack.

He sometime uses it when he fought against knife wielding enemy and he even deflect bullets with it when he was Hyperion on Earth Two.

He had a lot of memory with this vambrace.

It also follows the strength of the user body.

The stronger the wearer of this vambrace the stronger its defense.

And like most of the items of the Shadow Lord, it has the ability to self-transform when it reaps enough soul.

But Azief rarely supply souls to it other than in the first few years after the fall.

After he truly embarked on the perfection path he had neglected most of his items as his body is literally a weapon of mass destruction.

There was never the need to upgrade his item.

Azief daresay that since he walks the Perfection Path he had walked an entirely different way of fighting than the rest of other people.

Most of people strength would depend on many factors and not just their prowess.

They rely on their items, their artifacts, their class and their ability to use their power creatively to defeat a stronger opponent.

Even Katarina uses his red sword to increase her battle prowess.

But Azief had no need for such thing. Though, he does like something about the Vambrace. It is the ability to move the wearer vital organs toward another place.

It is hard to trigger.

Unfortunately, when Azief had gained the Undying Physique, his body cease to need such ability. It is not easy to hurt him

And on Earth, unless the whole world schemed against him and fight with him, there is almost no possibility that one could even make him bleed.

Azief then narrowed his eyes toward his vambrace and straight lines of fire shoots out from his eyes like laser with the heat that rivals the sun

Shinnnng!

The heat causes the vambrace to heat up and turn red.

The heat causes the entire area to rise in temperature and gaseous clouds was suddenly formed because of some reaction between the heat of Azief Eyes of Fire.

In the past it would shoot ball of flames but since Azief last used it, he had become stronger and his ability to control the energy in his body has become even more proficient

Now, he could control the intensity of the fire and even its shape. It is akin to heat vision. Both of his eyes is shooting the heat vision to the vambrace.

His left eye shoots toward the left vambrace and the right eye shoot toward the right vambrace.

The surrounding area of his eyes look red and then the vambrace exploded

It turns into golden dust and dissipated and Azief could see more strings were cut off.

Azief is slowly cutting his connection with the Shadow Lord will and strengthening his connection with the path that he is now walking on.

The hood no longer could hide his face. He was smiling. There is a charm on him that is hard to replicate.

It was borne out of his confidence and his determination.

It was hard to think that this is the same person almost a decade ago. The very same man who had been beaten by the world and was hopeless
