Chapter 307 Elites of Eclipse
Chapter 307 Elites of Eclipse
And one thing that those demons loved more than anything, is the fun they get from turning innocent idiots into cruel killers. And that\'s exactly what shiva promised them.
A righteous fool with high talent just waiting for their guidance to walk the dark path, in return they help him let this guy\'s guard down and kill him.
Plain and simple.
And besides he had the perfect puppet in his mind already, just waiting for these demons to corrupt.
\'I wonder what Leon would think, when he learns his sweet and cute little childhood sweetheart turned into the evillest of the demonness.\' Shiva thought in his heart, and smiled.
[Turning a yandere into a villainess, sounds delicious.] System said and laughed along with its host too.
As soon as Shiva killed the highest ranked villain, Darius ignored everything else and rushed towards the stairs where Cory and others were trapped first, while priest Melanthe started killing everyone else.
Shiva took a glance at a young girl with her face covered by a mask, leaving only her eyes open, fighting with the guy who was about to be killed by him few minutes ago.
\'Aisha Rahman, should I hire her?\' He thought.
[Don\'t even think about it. She\'s not worth the risk and exposure.]
[Leave her for now.]
\'Fine,\' Shiva said in approval, but soon his lips turned into a smile. \'but she should atleast know that her life is mine.\' He added as he watched the teleportation circle light up and dozens of hooded figure appearing en masse. All of them were holding their weapons and were ready for fight.
Instantly the fight that seemed to be ending, and in favor of the Nishkal family, changed the tides and the dance of death continued.
Aisha, who was closest to the portal instantly got surrounded by the villains and was fighting a desperate battle. But just when a sword was about to pierce her from the back, someone held it in front of her.
Looking at the bleeding hand that grabbed the sword before it could stab her, Aisha felt grateful for the save.
"Thanks." She said as she waved her hand and the dropping blood from his hand formed a dagger and stabbed her opponent.
Her hands were bleeding too, as she had cut both her wrists before this fight. She was using her own blood for controlling the magic weapons and attacking her opponents sneakily with blood manipulation.
Blood elementals always make for the best killers and she was the best example of it.
"Blood magic. Quite a rare trait to have." Shiva said as he grabbed her hand and disappeared from his place. Not wanting to waste his time on these little kids that popped up to surround him.
"Not as rare as spatial magic." Aisha said as she removed her hand from his and stepped back, keeping a handful of distance between them.
"It is. When the one using it is the next heiress of a werewolf clan, isn\'t that right, Ai\'sah." Shiva said and smirked as he watched the color drain from her face.
Aisha looked around in fear thinking her secret would be heard by those nearby, but found that time around her seemed to be frozen, and everything else even air or mana had stopped in silence too.
\'Time magic.\' she thought in fear and amazement.
As if reading her thoughts, Shiva shook his head and clarified "It\'s not, it\'s a different skill called Monarch\'s Majesty."
" \'Everyone and everything other than me and mine, is under my command, my rule.\' Quite cool, don\'t you think?"
"Wh_ How? ." Aisha muttered in surprise, as even time magic was a legendary type magic, not to mention a spell that he explained. "That\'s_ impossible." She muttered.
"You have no idea of what\'s possible, my love." Shiva said and snapped his fingers, as the spell seemed to be lifted and everything became as normal as it was before.
Except for the fact that a dozen of Evil\'s scions members who just jumped out from the portal fell down instantly. Their bodies lay lifeless with no sign of any injury. Nor internal nor external. Just seamless silent death.
Aisha felt her hair stood on end, just thinking about this spell\'s mysterious methods. Even more so when she found that no one seemed to even notice anything, and were just as confused as she was.
She wanted to ask about this to her gods, but again, as if reading her thoughts, Shiva\'s voice interrupted her.
"No point. They won\'t tell you a thing. It\'s outside their bounds."
"I never saw you, and you weren\'t at the auction too. " Aisha said suspiciously as she engaged in another brawl with a hooded figure. "Who are you?"
"I\'m not your enemy." Shiva said, kicking the idiot who started to swarm him.
"Not an enemy, doesn\'t necessarily mean an ally." Aisha said and asked. "What do you want?"
"I\'ll tell you when the time is right." Shiva said and disappeared from his place.
He wanted to talk a little more with this vessel but somehow all the Evil\'s scion\'s goons had marked him as their target, as they seemed to ignore everyone else and focused on attacking him.
[Looks like someone didn\'t like your show off stunt, host. You may be on their bounty list now.] System spoke and added [Even Nyxi\'s getting a little curious today.]
\'If she heard you, she would kill you.\' Shiva said after hearing the nickname this system made for Nyx.
[Like she can. I can take ten of hers out in a heartbeat.] System said in its ever so proud and arrogant way, and Shiva just shook his head.
\'Sometimes I really don\'t know if you\'re boasting too much, or are you really just that capable.\' Shiva said to system as his hands kept moving forming some handseals. \'She\'s Nyx you know, one of the strongest primordials.\'
[And I\'m the greatest system. The first of it\'s kind. She wasn\'t even around when I was made.]
\'So you\'re older than a primordial huh.\' Shiva said, feeling a little surprised, as system hardly mentioned anything about it\'s past or creation.
System too, noticing its gaffe cursed the cheery personality she\'s been affected with and changed the topic to a joke [It\'s not good to call a girl old you know.]
\'Urgh, just for this cringe comment, I should mute your ass for a month.\' Shiva said, noticing the system\'s efforts and ignored it for now.
"You\'re getting surrounded." Aisha said as she killed a goon around him and came near shiva.
"What\'re you doing?" She said watching him still performing some weird hand signs in middle of the battle.
Yet somehow even though he didn\'t focus on fighting, none of the attacks or attackers managed to hit his body.
"Is this some kind of new magic trick of yours, or are you just showing off your defense?" She asked again, as she made a thin whip out of her blood that slashed the necks of those attackers around her.
"Calling for backup." Shiva replied,as if it was obvious.
"But no one can enter inside with that barrier all around this building. Unless you can break it, entrance isn\'t possible." Aisha said. But Shiva just shook his head and smiled.
"Nothing\'s impossible for me." Shiva said and brought a black coin from his ring and flipped it flying in the air. "Since Evil\'s scion called for their best, its time I should do the same."
"Meaning?" She asked.
"The Elites of Eclipse haven\'t seen the light of day yet. Let this battle be their official stage for introduction."
As Shiva\'s words finished, the coin reached it\'s highest height and started falling down, leaving behind a crack in space, growing larger every second with the coin\'s fall. And when the coin finally landed back into Shiva\'s hands, the spatial rift spreap apart, making a doorway in front of them, and shadows started appearing one by one from the crack.
Aisha looked at the emerging figures who appeared suddenly and mysteriously through the crack, and when the crack finally closed and five figures had stepped out. They all stood behind Shiva, and bowed down to him.
Aisha looked at the figures bent on one knee, with their gaze looking down in fear or respect for their leader.
She tried to sense their auras, their ranks in magic yet failed to notice anything. The only thing she could feel from their presence was the oozing bloodlust that alone was enough to halt the steps of some trainee minions of evil\'s scion who started sweating in fear and trembling on their steps.
"Kill them all."
Shiva gave a command and before waiting for a response his figure disappeared from the warzone.
