Lord Shadow - Chapter 2001: Going Home
Chapter 2001: Going Home
Ancient formation and the current formation. It is quite different
Instead, it is this ancient formation that could destroy any modern formation.
Because even though it is simple, one must remember the one race that uses these simple formations is the Etherna.
And the kind of formation and energy they use to carve or write the formation is not normal things.
In a way, if the ingredient is good, as long as you don’t mess it up too much, you could cook good food.
And there is something else he notices when he looks at the formation around the temple
One would expect that the formation would be concealing formation or a hiding formation.
But from below the tile to the walls and beams, all of them are embedded with the formation of gathering energy of heaven and earth
“Not only an auspicious place that have luck, but it also has an energy mountain lode beneath it” He could not see it
He did not have any interest in confirming whether he is right or not
Azief just knows.
For something to act like this, for a formation the size of this scale to even maintain operation, it must have a great deal of energy reserve.
The energy did not leak hence maybe a circular circuit was created to harness the energy and contain it into this mountain and this temple.
If this mountain is broken, then an energy storm that could create a rift of time and space could occur here
Azief only sighed at this.
“Erika surely knows to pick them” he thought to himself.
Katarina is walking beside Azief.
He is holding Azief hand while also looking at the temple.
She saw the murals and she could feel the energy inside the walls and on the ground, she is stepping on
But she did not see the formation or the ley lines that connect the formation. She remains silent.
Azief looked at Katarina and then he squeezed her hand
“it’s going to be fine” Katarina only nodded.
Even though she did not say anything, Azief knows Katarina is anxious.
There are many things that Katarina did not understand.
And not understanding things makes her anxious.
After this is all over, Azief should share some things with Katarina. Some secrets need to be told.
Sharing things….is what a couple do.
And Azief believes he should share it with Katarina.
Not only because of her.
But also, because of him.
He should learn to trust people.
He should learn to also see the good in people.
Seeing the bad in people might save you a lot of time and most of the time you would not be caught off guard, but sometimes, sincerity that is not appreciated becomes a poison.
The Divine Monkey and Odin told him enough. He should not believe everyone, but he should doubt everyone either. Sharing a burden is not always a bad thing
And protecting people does not mean always keeping them in the dark.
That was the mistake he made with Sofia.
And that is a mistake he did not want to repeat.
Slowly….but surely…. take it step by step.
Opens his heart while acknowledging the boundaries.
As long as she knew that he did it for her and for her safety, even if there were some secrets and things he could not tell her in the future, she would understand and not feel bitter about it.
Azief smiles
“I would like to go on a vacation” he thought to himself. A simple wish that suddenly appears in his mind and he could not help but smile thinking of this
And then before he knew it he reached an inner part of the temple. The servants look at him and gesture for him to go forward
Azief and Katarina were about to take a step forward, but the servant blocked Katarina path. Katarina frowned but then she immediately understood. Azief also understood.
This part is allowed to him but not to her
Azief nodded and Katarina did not insist on going forward.
Azief walked forward and he saw a curtain
He waves the curtain aside as he enters the room.
The moment he entered the room; he could feel time and space shifted slightly.
“hmm?”
And before he knew it the interior of the room changed.
The change is almost instantaneous.
If you did not have powerful divine sense, you would not notice it.
But the moment Azief entered, some kind of formation was activated and time and space went in a different direction.
It shifted him from that room to the alchemy room
“Which means that room is just a transit point. If it’s just a transit point, what lies beyond that original room if I broke the space time formation?”
“Maybe beyond that room is another secret of the Oracle” Azief only think of this for a second before he shook the thought out of his head
He is not here to pry the Oracle secrets.
He looks around and everything is there. Azief smiles and then just like he was instructed to, he follows the recipe and chooses to grind it.
Even though Odin says it is fine to stir fried it, it is not like he is in a leisurely mood right now to want to cook
It did not take him long.
Only half an hour.
Most of it is automated.
Using telekinesis is handy.
But there are certain things he needs to pay attention to and that was the temperature and the possibility of the magic going wild.
The rune fruit might be stable in its energy composition but if you handle it too roughly there is always a chance for things to go wrong.
That is what took time.
And now before him is a blue liquid.
and around it is a golden aura.
It is like it is absorbing the sunlight and all that is good and all of this goodness manifested in this golden aura.
Azief takes a sniff.
The smell is also quite pleasant.
It did not have that particular smile.
Instead, the moment he sniffs it, it reminds him of a pleasant summer day, with winds blowing and the leaves blowing bringing the scent of fresh leaves
It evokes emotions and memories instead of a particular one smell that the nose could sense.
Azief smiles.
And then without hesitation he drinks it.
..
Azief opens his eyes and he slowly stands up.
“So, that’s how it is” he mutters to himself.
He looks at the flask on the ground.
The flask is on the other side of the wall.
He waves his hand and the flask flew slowly to his hands
The flask did not break when it falls down.
This kind of flask could even withstand a bomb attack so falling from the height it does, would not break it
Azief looks at the flask and then he throws it away.
But instead of smashing onto the wall, it slowly floated back to the table
Azief had drunk the potion.
He made it into a potion.
And the moment he drinks it; he suddenly loses consciousness.
He probably dreams of something.
He knows he had dreamed.
However, he could not remember what he had dreamed.
Even now as he tries to think and tries to remember what he had dreamed, nothing comes to mind
How very mortal of him?
He thought to himself and he could not help but chuckle at himself.
He closes his eyes and he begins looking at his own inner world and the moment he see it’s he smiles
It did not take long for him to come out from his introspection.
He did not only look at his Inner World, but he also looks at his energy veins.
The lethargic feeling has disappeared.
But there is a trace of that power left.
But it almost seems like it is dormant.
But any foggy feeling he had felt before had disappeared.
And that is not the only thing.
The memories that he had forgotten before…. he now remembered it.
Certain countermeasures that he had left on Pandemonium are also slowly remembered.
As for that energy….
Azief frowns a little. What is this remnant energy? He thought to himself.
“It would take some time for me to make sense of this energy”
But right now, all that matters is he already felt that he is healthy.
He could feel that he regained control of all of his power.
And that is the most important thing right now.
Without his powers, some of the things he wanted to do could not be done.
He sighed and then walked out of the room.
The moment he pushed away the curtain, he felt that sensation again.
Time and space shifting aside and even though it is subtle and almost have no change, like a transition scene that is so fast you would not see it, Azief saw it.
And he returns back to that right space and time
He walks outside the room and then he sees the servant and Katarina.
They are standing there a few feet away from the room.
Katarina is waiting for him all of this time
Azief look at Katarina and ask
“How long was I in there?”
’Half an hour by my calculations” Azief nodded.
“How was it?”
“I am healed” hearing this Katarina finally smiles
Azief smiles and then walks towards Katarina
“Let’s go.” He paused for a second and then added
“Let’s go home”
