Chapter 522: Problems Within The Shadows

-----

Suddenly, a black jewel in front of a throne began to crack, shattering into pieces in an instant!

CRASH!

The old man looking at it was suddenly startled, jumping out of his throne in horror.

BOOM!

A massive amount of black smoke was released out of the black jewel, slowly dissipating, and flying into the sky through the windows…

The entire black smoke resembled countless wailing phantoms, all screaming in agony, pain, and anger.

The old ice giant man with pale blue skin, wrinkles all over his face, and black hair with sharp yellow-gold eyes looked at the scene in disbelief.

"I-I can't believe it! T-The Negative Jewel was destroyed?! How?!" he asked in disbelief.

The Negative Jewel or also known as the Jewel of Yin was a powerful jewel left as a treasure by an Immortal Magus long ago, whose Inheritance was found by this old man, the Dark Shadow Sect Master!

The old man wearing black robes slowly stood up, looking at the fragmented jewel and gripping his fists in frustration.

This amazing item allowed him to absorb the negative emotions produced by the population of the sect and gain unprecedented power from it. The jewel was even able to absorb souls as well and gain even more power, bringing a lot of Negative Energy aside from insane quantities of Mana, which were enough to produce all sorts of entities.

It was possible to summon the powerful Shadow Beasts out of this Jewel, and it could be said to be the pillar behind most of the special techniques the entire sect used to attack the Winter Lotus and the Jade Snake Sects…

The ability to make these mana-eating spider eggs also came from the jewel's powers, it fueled the runes and the special formations required for the creation of the first egg which then created the first queen, and by fueling it with this energy, the queen began to multiply and many soldier and queen eggs were made, helping the sect distribute them around dungeons, where the spiders could thrive the best.

It was also the fuel that made their mounts possible, the Shadow Jormungandr Descendants born from the Shadow Eggs laid by the Queen of this race, which required the energy to gain enough power to generate more offspring and let the disciples of the sect utilize them as powerful tamed beasts, and more.

And obviously, the usage of the ability to turn normal mana cores into dark and shadow ones also used this jewel… it was the lifeblood of most techniques.

Seeing it shattered made the sect master's mind almost fragment into pieces as well…

"W-What…? How is this possible? What happened?!"

It knew that the jewel drained negative energy through somewhere, but it didn't knew, nor he could had ever predicted that that "somewhere" was an actual dreamscape where Black assessed the energies, which was attacked by Drake and Belle at full dream power, forcing him to destroy the dreamscape in the process, cutting down the constant stream of negative energy…

And to make it even worse, the impact and damage caused by the dreamscape exploding made the jewel crack and shatter into pieces, bringing this entire incident…

"Master of Darkness! Where are you?" asked the man.

Suddenly, a massive phantom of shadows emerged from within his own shadows, as two gigantic crimson-red eyes looked down on him… the monstrous phantasmal entity made of shadows had the mild shape of a person, but it looked very tired of even being here.

It was certainly a being of great power, but why was it here from all places, and why was it so damn tired, to begin with? Its very presence, when compared to the old man before him, seemed way too great.

"Ungh… I've heard you the first time, vessel. It seems that our enemy is greater than we had anticipated… The Jewel is broken but I can make another as long as we got time… However, there's no way he will not come here after seeing me and attacking me, we must first prepare ourselves for the fight to come." Said the entity.

"T-The fight to come?" asked the old man.

"Yes, ready your weapons and prepare yourself, we'll fight against a being of incredible power, an ice dragon with powers way more than just ice… Thankfully, I had already been preparing many things in case there would be a strong being threatening us…" sighed the phantom.

The phantom flew around the entire palace as it began to assess things and nodding.

"Things seem to be alright, the nodes, are they prepared?" asked the entity.

"Y-Yes, my lord…" said the sect master.

"Very well… Ungh… how detestable that I would have lot lower myself to such level of strength… If I were on my peak, I would be able to easily crush this bastard as if he were a bug! To think he made me destroy the dreamscape to escape his grasp…" sighed the entity.

The sect master was surprised over his words but didn't said a thing to not offend him.

"Someone attacked the Dark Lord in the dreamscape?! And it was so strong it almost trapped him, so he had to destroy the entire thing to escape? I-It can't be… my lord's power is unparalleled… how can there be someone within the mortal realm capable of doing this?!" thought the sect master. His mind was easily read by the phantom, but he didn't seem to care about his feeble thoughts. He was a mere vessel.

The phantom suddenly noticed that within the throne room there was a glowing red orb, one that was given to him eons ago by someone else… various of his inheritance treasures were brought to the throne room.

"Those blood suckers… I wonder if they're still going on… Red… Is she still alive?" wondered the phantom.

Suddenly, and as if answering his words, a large group of soldiers came running inside the temple.

"Sect Master, there's a group of pale people outside…!"

"Some are human-sized… although there were some that were clearly giants…"

"However, their eyes were red, and their skin incredibly pale!"

"And they had red auras around them…"

"Oh? So they're here? Did they noticed me?" wondered the phantom.

"Let them in!" said the sect master.
