Chapter 663: I am here! (2)
In any normal circumstances the lifting off a protection formation is an unwise move unless one wanted to surrender.
That is because when one lifts the protection formation that protected their territory others could take the opportunity to attack,
But when Loki issued that order none of the high ranking members of Pandemonium even utters any word of objection.
It is not because they fear Loki that much or they respected him that much. That is because they were confident.
Since Death Monarch has returned, even if the Centre Palace had no protection formation what is there to worry about?
The title of the strongest person in the world is not some false title and reputation that Pandemonium bestowed to Death Monarch.
The world had bestowed Death Monarch with that title and that title was acknowledged by all the heroes under heaven
Azief and Sasha is floating outside the Centre Palace. Azief then smiles as he saw the familiar balcony. It is the balcony on the Throne Room.
Azief when he wants to talk personally with one of his subordinate, he would bring them here to look the view from this balcony.
Standing on that balcony, one could see the vast expanse of Pandemonium.
He takes a step as his body slowly floated down toward that balcony marble tile. Sasha who was behind him also follows him as she also floated herself down.
The moment they landed down, Azief dispel the principles of Laws of Elements that he had used to enable Sasha to follow his speed and encourage her healing.
Sasha could also feel that nourishing aura disappears from her. The sound of his feet landing on the marble tile seems to shook the hearts of the officials who all looked towards that balcony.
One of the officials of the Centre region look toward Death Monarch with complicated expression.
Outside the rain is still falling and it is falling even harder, the thunder dragon is still dancing in the sky and lightning still flashed in interval of a few seconds.
Each strikes of the thunder could weaken one heart.
Azief lazily look at the people inside the throne room all waiting for him.
He saw Will leaning on the furthest corner of the throne room with a smug smile on his face like he was saying that he had won in their race.
Azief had the urge to smile if not for the solemn faces of the people inside the Throne Room. He scans the room and he could see a lot of familiar faces.
There are his officers, his officials, a few city mayors, his friends and Sofia.
They were all there waiting for him
Azief raise his chin up a bit and even a simple act like that shakes the hearts of the officials. To them, it looked like Death Monarch is looking at them coldly.
They all look toward him and bow slightly and shouted passionately.
‘Congratulation Your Excellency for breaking through to Divine Comprehension. Welcome back to Pandemonium!’
Azief hearing this laughed. His laugh reverberated inside the room. It is a hearty laugh but no one could be seen smiling.
Will snickered on the corner of the throne room, looking at the officials of Pandemonium. He then stops laughing as he walks slowly to his throne. The officials all parted to give him space.
He climbs the stairs to his throne.
Each steps sounded like thunder going off in the ears of the officials of Pandemonium. And they then realized it was not only a feeling but it was real.
The sound is coming off from the outside.
The dragons in the skies and the dark red clouds is still there outside.
With each steps that Azief takes, the thunder and lightning outside harmonized with it. The thunders roars and the lightning flashed with each steps he takes.
The thunder shakes the palace and the lightning illuminates the shadows of the people inside the throne room.
Azief climb the stairs slowly and even that gives the impression of power to those officials.
In the years of Death Monarch absence, some of these officials deals with many things that is unsavory and some of them were tempted and also falls into depravity itself.
With each quake in the sky, they look even more down.
They did not even dare to look in the eye of Death Monarch for fear that Death Monarch had some kind of magic to see their thoughts.
Their hearts are beating like war drums being hit a thousand beat per second.
Azief notices all this. But he did not say anything. He did not need to say anything and he did not have to handle it right now.
This is small matter. And he already had his sword beside him. For small matters, he would always leave it to his sword.
Though, that sword needs to be sharper now. After all, it has been broken. These people could be the whetstone to sharpen that edge
He takes another step and then he suddenly halted his steps and the thunder on the outside quietened down for a second. The lightning did not flash.
Azief halted because he saw the person standing on the right side of the throne. He smiles a bit.
That person is Loki the Trickster.
Azief notices that Sasha has been sending glares to Loki since the beginning she enters the room and notices him
He also notices Sina sitting on a chair on the corner of the room
Sina is stuck between her best friend and the person she loves.
Azief did not envy Sina position in their small group. She was always the one stuck in the middle. She was stuck between him and Sofia. And now she is stuck between Loki and Sasha.
But Azief would not listen to anyone advice unless that person is Sina. In their group, she is the big sister.
Now, that she is here Azief felt sentimental. Because in his vision, she was not there. Either she did not betray him, or she died before she could betray him in that vision.
