Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene Chapter 88
Advertisement
With the flames of war gripping against my chest, I stared at Arsene. His crimson eyes were hollowed, filled with a dark light as he stood still as a lifeless corpse.
Gently caressing his pale cheeks, I smiled, "Once you are awakened, you will understand why soul benders are so feared and as to why I am being hunted."
Gripping Siegfried, I grew amused as I felt the Dao of Darkness spreading its dark webs through Arsene. It didn't make sense how a mortal was able to use Dao, but it made my time with him all more special.
Father has his plans, but Arsene, I will side with you. Sending a deep glance towards the heavens where Ashna's puppet was battling against Arsene's goons, a cruel smile graced my lips. There was no more point in hiding. The Court of Nox and the Princes all know of my location.
"SHHHHH" taking a deep breath, I willed some soul force through my entire body as time seemed to freeze. Like everyone was frozen, an icy pulse filled my mind.
Pushing Celestrial Qi through my body, amethyst light filled the air as I shot off like a bolt of lightning. Ripping through the sound barrier with ease as I began bending space using the Dao of Space to move quicker. It didn't matter if someone was in the Spirit Realm or lower. All fell to my blade as I showered the battlefield in death.
Thick globs of blood dripped from my face like drops of rain as I used every part of my body and blade to dismantle as many enemies as I could around Arsene. Time and space were both primary Dao I specialized with, but they were a little much on my reserves.
Running my blade through someone's Dantian, I grinned, menacingly throwing his crippled body towards an incoming blast. Watching him turn into a mist of paste, I rushed through the crimson mist with a rush of excitement, arriving at the unsuspecting man, plunging my arm through his head as the bones of his skull slattered over the pavement.
Yet, just when I was about to move, I saw Ashna arrive before me, grinning fiendishly through the body of her puppet, "I have you." She yelled.

Pushing more soul force within my body, Ashna's hands suddenly flew through my body as I smiled, "You can't use your Dao through that puppet, Ashna. You should know killing a soul bender is one of the hardest challenges," I quickly said as I leaped away completely unharmed.
"You pushed your body into another space. You are at the third stage of Dao comprehension," Ashna bellowed in horror, "You are a Heavenly chosen. Why are you on Tensen Lumireis?"
"You will never know bitch," Yelled a voice that sent my heart in a spiral.
Watching as Arsene appeared, dark light overflowing from his body, I quivered, seeing him reach the first stage of Dao Comprehension while also pulsing with Soulforce, I felt my heart skip as my loins turned hot. My fingers shaking as they begged to be used once more between my legs. He was dark, sinister, and downright evil as his bewitching voice sounded,
"Shadow, obliterate that whore."
Suddenly a massive ship appeared covering pendragon. An eerie wave of anxiety filled this city as I watched lights filled the dark skies. With a blood-thirsty smile, Arsene sent me a knowing stare. Quickly nodding, I gripped his shoulder as I teleported away, yet just as I left, I sent Ashna a wicked smile as space suddenly froze, leaving her no room to dodge or flee. Those that could not use Dao were bound to die against a soul bender.
Quickly getting my friends, a massive explosion filled the void as we arrived a few kilometers away from the blast zone. Unfortunately, as we appeared, a massive earthquake rushed through the ground sending pendragon into a state of chaos.
Various buildings began falling like building blocks, while glass from various buildings shattered, falling over any late-night wanders. Wails of despair began rising from Pendragos as a few heavenly-ranked cultivators began appearing.
Arsene didn't seem to care as he patted my head. Resisting the urge to purr, I beamed with joy melting at the touch of his palm. Only to frown as the light began to twist as a handsome man with a dark look appeared. A vicious gleam seemed to flash through his piercing eyes as he stared at Arsen and me.

"Arsene, can you explain this to me?" he demanded, pointing to a massive mushroom cloud in the distance, "A few thousand are dead due to your little battle."
"You seem familiar?" said Arsene with a curious twinkle in his eyes. "The face is different, yet the eyes are the same, but I still can't seem to recall how odd. Don't you agree, stranger?"
The Stranger before me looked a little shocked, but he remained indifferent, giving a quick nod. "It's Damion," he curtly responded,
"Ah, I heard mention of the Leader of shadows being name as such, how interesting." Arsene loosely said, not at all intimidated at a heavenly ranked cultivator.
Order of Shadows? Why are they here? No, that idiot Oswin must have just happened to use that name...or the Real Shadow of Order is lurking, keeping an eye on me. It would not be the first time various powerful organizations grew so powerful they began influencing various people throughout the Omniverse.
"We were attacked by an organization by the name of The Light of Ashna. Although for the life of me, I can't understand why?" Arsene mournfully said, "They attacked nine years ago as well. I'm sure you already have a report of that day."
Arching his brow Darmion turned towards me, "Do you know anything, Yura."
Snorting, I ignored the useless waste of space, turning to Arsene, "Where are we going to live?" I asked, gazing at the wreckage of our home.
"I feel like I wasted my time building that home," Arsene sarcastically said, "Force to leave the Snow, now my home gets blown up. But how can I not have a backup to a backup ."
Hearing him boast, I rolled my eyes; he was so narcissistic sometimes. It's a wonder he ever gets work done.
"Be serious, Arsene," my sweet Nora yelled, "Where are we to live,"
Arsene seemed to freeze as he suddenly glared at Nora, "We? you're still going to live with me?"
Everyone seemed to stare at Arsene as though he was a fool with an affirming expression causing the young man to hang his head low in defeat. Coving my mouth, I giggled as he pointed towards the ship high in the air, "We will be staying..."
"Yura, I asked you a question," Damion cruelly said, "Oswin may put up with your bitchy behavior, but I will not."
Feeling the deep killing intent, my mind slowly grew dark as I felt the seal of father and mother beginning to shiver. I did not know why but ever since I killed Isaella, that energy has been growing far too quick.
"Damion, was it? Do you wish to die?" I softly inquired as I felt it calling my name. "Olivia, remove him for my presence."
Before Damion could speak, he vanished as I felt 'that' energy slowly going back into its slumber. Grinning, I turned to Arsene's, scrutinizing glare as he flicked my head, "Let's go, we are heading to a battlefield. We might even meet up with the other from our class."
"What about pendragons," Ed asked, "Arsene, you just dropped a bomb that decimated this city. How can you just leave?
"Easy, I get on my ship and leave," he said as a beam of light shot down, picking us up high into the air. Jumping by his side, I watched as ed sneered.
"You have just killed thousands of innocents, and you are...
"I don't care, Edain, come with me or not, but please keep that hero drivel to yourself," My Arsene indifferently declared with annoyance. "What the Hell will that do for me, keep me a virgin the rest of my life?"
I did not get to see much as we arrived in a rather high-tech ship filled with various lights and metal. When Arsene quickly showed me to my room before leaving in a hurry.
I knew he needed to understand more about Soul force, so I left him alone. Not to mention I had far more important matters to handle.
Snapping my fingers, a gate of brimstone materialized as I stepped in, appearing before father and, oddly enough, mother. Laying with one another with happy smiles.

Chaos Wave
The year is 2055. Virtual Reality has been around for nearly forty years, and the Full Sensation Dive System has been around for about thirty. The various countries of Earth have long since given up on Warring against each other in this dimension when it turned out that with the FSDS (Full Sensation Dive System) virtual worlds became real, especially once Richard Alonzo Albeque's AIQNPC (Artificial Intelligence Quest and Non-Player Character) System was released and spread like a wild virus across all the active MMOs. People vanished from their Dive system, leaving nothing behind of the person they were, and the Characters they were in game become locked out, and no longer responsive to the System.
