Lord Shadow



After all, even if the Crime Alliance fails today, even if the pirates are defeated, the element of evil will always exist.

They have to lay low after defeat and they could not be as flagrant or as high profile as they are now but they would still exist

Broken and battered but will still exist. Death Monarch is probably not crazy enough to kill everyone. 

So, he would always have new customer. 

But even before he had the chance to promote his newest and shiny toy to the rest of the world, a swarm of light covers his enemies and by the time the swarm of light disappears, the hundreds of people all fall down to their death

'What?'

Then he realizes the sword intent, his eyes narrowed and he could not help but feel like he was being robbed of showing his light in this war

He felt that sword intent. Cold and sharp, emotion was stripped from this sword. Only the destructive nature of this sword is retained

Precise and lethal. That is the sword will that pass by him and kills all of his enemies. 

But then he laughed. 

He is unlike the other people that Katarina had stolen kill from.

Others cares very much. But not him. He cares about something else. He walks to one of the bodies of the fallen.

And he crouched down and put his palm on one of them. He closes his eyes and seem to be trying to sense something. 

He removes his palm from the body and his smile becomes wider. 

'I did not think that the sword intent that she releases would linger like this. Like a solid sword lodged on the body and could not come out'

'Hehehe' he laughed 

Most people who met him always said that his laugh is very creepy. 

And if you hear it, you could not help but agree with this assessment. There is a kind of madness in his laughter

'This kind of thing would also be quite interesting' he mutters. 

Since he mutters in a slow voice, no one could hear his voice from the broadcast. But some people could read lips and so they could tell what Akira is saying

But they don't know what he is planning. 

However, those who knows his reputation knows whatever it was that he is planning, it would not be something good. 

Akira then opens up a bag. And the moment he opens up the bag, the dead, the corpses of the fallen all were sucked into the bag.

And the moment he did this, all over the world people looked at this with disgust

'This Akira…. he could not have…'

'I think he is'

'Wouldn't he violate the rule of the World Council?' 

Everyone has an opinion of what Akira would do and everyone seem to know the answer

Akira is known to break the rules of the World Council 

It is mostly about human experimentation. 

Any human experimentation of new technology using new magical ordinance or magical spell and if such items involve the participation of human being, such experiment must be approved by the World Council before it could be done

And Akira is known to break that law in the past. 

But he was shielded by the League of Freedom. And so, he was given an exception. Now, he is collecting bodies

So, one could guess what he is about to do

Akira look at the sky and there is a creepy smile on his face. 

'I wonder whether I could replicate the sword will?' he mutters to himself and laugh. 

On another site, there is a tall lanky man wearing a monocle. Today he wears a hat. This hat seems to be like a source of the energy shield around him

This is Eric Strauss and he is someone from the Order of Thinkers. Many people did not tune to his fight. 

No one expected that the Order of Thinkers would send their people to the front line to fight

They are not exactly a world power known for their combat ability

The Order of Thinker is not exactly known as an organization that is famous for their prowess or their military capabilities 

But they do have many weapons. And their weapons are very experimental.

  No one forgot how they fused machinery and humans creating some kind of a hybrid of science and magic. 

And no one forgot that they also possess all kinds of titanic weapons that could destroy moons and stars

What they lack in resources, they compensate with energy. And now they even have a military division.

This has not always been the case. 

Before the Order of Thinkers were given the status of the world power, most of their research tended to the exploration of the world.

They classify new plants, new ores and all kinds of new things that began to show itself after the Fall

But, when they were given the rule over Antarctica, their research began to lean on one particular thing

Military weapons and the application of new science, a hybrid of magic and science to the strengthening of their combat force. 

This kind of study is very new and requires new kind of thinking that must not be rigid.

Because on one hand, there is something that is observable, constant and then there is something that is unexplainable, intangible most of the time, unseen and not always constant, playing by a rule unlike any of the rules in the world.

Like a collision between two atoms that held a separate, different particles that does not make sense. 

Things that should not have existed, existed even if it doesn't make sense. This is the madness of this new kind of science

Eric is now bleeding

The scars line on his face is feeling pain. Just right before Katarina swipe a thousand pirates with one sword, he was alright.

Even though he is not strong, the technology he had seems able to bridge the gap of power.

He uses an orb to summons wraiths, dark creatures of shadows to attack the pirates. 

He was using the war to test the new technology that the Order of Thinkers have created. 

It was Orb IV. 

It is the iteration of the first Orb. 

They did not give it a name yet. 

It is the kind of orb that trapped the mindless wraiths that fly all over the Blood Sea and using the Orb they could try to order the wraiths and instill a kind of consciousness.

Of course, this consciousness is more like a program instead of a real consciousness. 

The wraiths have their own power but they don't seem to have any minds or any emotions. Like an empty vessel. And what the order of thinkers wanted to do is simply give some content to these empty vessel so that they could be used by them.

The wraiths itself possess all kinds of attacking method. And this is the first time Eric uses this new weapon

The monocle was taking all the data. 

Just right at the crucial moment when the date would be enough, a sword intent sweeps all of his enemies. 

That left a thousand people dead. And the way they died is very weird. They all falls down to the ground in one moment like they were falling asleep. 

And then when look up the sky, he saw the sword and he have question like everyone else.

The sword that is above their heads is now getting bigger and getting stronger that even the clouds above the sky could not form because of how sharp the sword is that it began to cut the heavens and earth unconsciously. 

There is Graham. Just like Eric, he was also using his own method to test the new technology of the Order of Thinkers

And just like Eric, he was blocked by Katarina who uses her sword to sweep all the enemies on the island continent

Eric uses some kind of orb to summon dark creatures while Graham uses robotic division of the Order of Thinkers. 

His robot was allowed to exits but not the enemies from the Crime Alliance and the Pirates. 

Every world power member that is fighting on the island content could no longer ignore Katarina. 

Even though people could not see her, they feel the sword intent and they feel the cold wind that is blowing. 

The Seven World powers, its members, the Crime Alliance, the pirates, all of them could no longer fight. 

The pressure of the sword becomes stronger. 

And Katarina appears above the sky and the sword that could only be seen with divine sense now could be seen slowly becoming solid above the sky

It is a straight sword with a tip that seems to have a sharpness beyond everything in the world. 

One still wonders where this sword will go. And Katarina is closing her eyes, floating above the clouds, like she is waiting for something. 

No one knows what she is seeing

And Katarina did not explain anything. Her sword light has all gathered into this sword image that seems to be suspended between heaven and earth

Her eyes...look toward one direction. And her gaze rested on two people. The two people in the distance fighting like titanic gods of old

That is where her gaze landed. 

And her sword will went amuck all over the island, accumulating a momentum, a sword will that is invincible. 

When this sword is slashed, heaven and earth would be dim

Every swordsman in the world was also looking at this sword. Some look at it with their eyes and some feel it with their hearts.

They could feel the sword seem to be beating, like it ahs a heartbeat. And they could all tell that when this sword is finally used, it would be a never-before-seen sword slash!
