Lord Shadow

This is the first time Azief had ever had such injury on Earth other than when he was almost assassinated.

So what did he do?

He gritted his teeth and endures the pain.

He used his Celestial Disk and the white light that covered the world just a moment ago dissipated slowly like a cloud being pushed by a great gust of wind.

A holy aura envelops the Wheels, as the souls that float around that wheel feed on that energy.

CREAK!

The wheel slowly turns like a slow rotating wheel, and with each small micro movement, Laws are grinded and rebirthed in that Wheel, emanated out and absorbed inside.

DANG!

DANG!

BOOM!

It was like the moment that wheel began to move the whole world seems to be filled with the sound of a thunderous footsteps.

Then a roar sounded out that crack the Space above the World. The space beyond Earth even slightly distorted

ROAR!!!

With the roar, comes a purple reddish aura.

The world was covered by a purple red color as the images of countless animal appears on the sky roaring to the Heavens, to the Earth, to everything in between, looking like they were some mindless beast bereft of all reason and intelligence.

Looking at the images of the beast would make one have shivers all overs.

All of the beasts that appear in the image in the sky is so colossal that they covered the sky and blotted out the sun and the moon.

Some of them have narrow webbed wings upon its back, while others have large, bulbous pulsating sac and numerous writhing tentacles like some cosmic horrors so hideous to be seen

And that is not even their full size since even the images did not show the entirety of that monsters appearance.

Some was as small as normal human while some have the same size as a large continent. Seeing them could drive a person to madness for those of weak hearts and weak minds.

Azief knows this trial. And he even knows some of those monsters that projected itself on the sky of Earth.

It is the legions of the Demon Race that invaded his world when he was a Holy Dragon in one of Azul lives.

This is without a doubt the Lower Form Trials.

This is one of the hard trials in the Six Path because one had to start in this trial as a mindless beast.

And it is hard to get enlighten when you have no coherent mind and depend on instinct.

Sithulran at this time look more helpless than ever but she is still babbling under the sea speaking like a baby not knowing what is about to happen to her.

She is hideous to look at with glutinous pus coming out from the pus on her wrinkly and dry face and the worms that come out from her flesh because of the nature of the diseases that overtaken her body the moment her health was taken.

But when the Wheel turns it takes another part of Sithulran with it.

This time it takes her consciousness and she became even more translucent as she closes her eyes and seems to drift into sleep.

The pressure suddenly doubled upon Azief

‘ARGH!’

Azief screamed in pain as his entire arm is broken, his shout broke apart the sound waves and created explosion in the sky like an air cannon exploded.

This time Azief put the Wheel on his back like the Titan Atlas who is condemned to hold up the celestial heavens.

His back felt all the pain and both of his hand wounded by the weight of the Laws as both of his arms is now broke.

Golden blood drips down from the tips of his fingernails. With each drop of his golden blood, his body shrinks more and more.

But he is still holding up the Wheel of Reincarnation.

Azief could not let it fall.

If that Wheel fall not only his effort would be fruitless, it would also bring about a great destruction all over Earth.

The weight of this Wheel is not something that could be understood by thinking or measuring it with some weight measuring device.

It is because it is composed of myriads Laws in the Universe. Even he himself don’t know what would happen if the Wheel falls down to Earth.

But Azief could bet it is nothing good.

It is why he morphed himself to the Willform. Because he knows his body is unable to lift it. It is not a matter of physical prowess. It is about mastery of Laws.

If he is a Divine Comprehension leveler then maybe it will not be that hard.

While Azief is bearing the weight of that Wheel, the whole world is still entranced.

Other than Katarina, Jean, Raymond, Hikigaya, Loki, and Oreki, most of the people are affected the moment they look upon the sky.

Even Sofia who was looking at the sky of Pandemonium could see that Wheel, hundreds and thousands of miles away from the site of the battle

Of course this does not count people who are in captivity deep beneath the Earth or those who lives so deep beneath the Earth that the sun doesn’t shine upon them.

But even so they felt the trembling of the world and the shaking of the Heavens. Why was the Earth tremble?

It is because it is afraid.

Why does the Heaven shaking?

Because it is wrathful. But it is unable to fight over with that Wheel unless the World Orb personally reveals itself.

Energy went rampant and in chaos as the Laws around the Wheel distorts energy of the World, throwing it into chaos, sowing and reaping Laws like it is nobody business.

The fact Azief could even reach this point, turning the Wheel to this point is already quite remarkable.

Azul passed his legacy to one crazy son of a bitch.

Usually one would make sure they could move the wheel before summoning it because the backlash is not something to scoff at.

There is nobody that crazy to not even ascertain that matter before summoning it. Well, now there is one

Azief on the other hand while feeling all this pain does not regret even one moment summoning the Wheel.

Even wincing with pain, even with all the pressure on his back, blood dripping from his cracking fingernails, he still smiles defiantly.

It was like he is asking “Is this all you got?”

This is how he always surpassed his limit. By taking risk and overcoming it, by dancing at the edge of life and death.

By surpassing his limits every time….that is how he became the invincible Death Monarch. The pain he felt forged his way forward, taught him like no any other teacher could teach him.

‘Two more turns!’ He shouted as he laughs even amidst the pain as he lifts the wheel a bit from his back.

The seabed where he is standing from depressed two more inches creating a stormy seas and partitioned sea waves that drop a wall of solid block of water at different interval which only added to the chaos of the sea waves.

Azief channel all the energy from his Universal Disk to the Wheel

The entire energy flow of the world changed direction as the stars and moon in space seems to be responding to Azief call as he absorbed the energy outside from Earth.

For one who could see energy flow they could see a colossal storms of energy rushing through Earth from the stars, moons, the sun and the dead planet all absorbed into Azief body without restrain.

It powered the Universal Disk and in turn powered the Wheel of Reincarnation.

BOOOM!

The Wheel slowly turned and the images of the terrifying creatures and monsters dissipated like a wave of smoke.

Instead it was like the whole world return to normal again. But there is nothing normal about it. All the people in the blank state all were assaulted with an image of their fondest desires in their minds.

The Wheel stopped at the image of the Desire trial. It is a trial based on strong possessiveness and desire

The Wheel once again took something from her and once again that pressure fall down on Azief body and his entire back felt the weight.

And so, Sithulran which is now look like an unliving creatures turns empty, in mind and thoughts

She became nothingness as her body slowly seems to merge with the Wheel. But it is not complete

‘One more turn;’ he said to himself, his body is looking like it will give out any moment now, but he kept holding on onto that Wheel

Then Azief felt it.

Slowly his Universal Disk crack and then like a glass cup falling down from a table, it broke and Azief felt another wave of attack this time. It felt like he was clawed from inside out.

It felt like all of his flesh being ripped apart again and again.

‘TURN!’ Azief shouted like he was shouting at the Heavens and the laws that make up this whole world.

By sheer force of his energy, the moment he shouted that the Wheel slowly turns once again.

There is only one trial left.

There is only one path left out of the Six Paths.

‘HELL’ Azief shouted again and this time an unstoppable dark pressure descend down upon Earth that there were many people who were rendered unconscious all over the world.
