Lord Shadow



'Kaiju, this battle is decided!'

Azief words was very calm. But it echoes all over the Turbulent Sea. 

BOOOM!

Azief punches forward. 

The space spirals around his fist and the quake cracks all the space in the radius of one hundred kilometers.

BOOOM!

The sky above his head quakes dispersing all of the sea water and the sound explodes an island a thousand kilometers away. 

The sea water below him exploded into gas and the clouds and the sky all were torn apart

BOOOOM! Another shocking sound of explosion erupted. 

A dark red aura smash through the water spear. Astonishing momentum that does not lose out to Kaiju shot out, shocking the world

'Whoa!'

'The hell!'

'Death Monarch! There are still people here!' 

There are shouts and screams. 

The people watching this all have different kind of emotions. 

But they do agree on one thing and that is Death Monarch is Death Monarch after all

He is still full of energy, still fierce and domineering, the number one in the world!

BOOOM!

BOOOOM!

BOOOOOOM!

Each explosion sound louder each time it explodes.

One punch to blow away all attack!

One punch and it raged above the sea

The crashing waves roses up to cut through the water spear. The salty mist sprayed into the air, coating everything with a fine layer of moisture.

All he did was one punch but there is the sound of multiple explosions. 

the shockwaves rippled across the water's surface, causing the waves to swell and crash even harder. 

The force of the explosions sent geysers of water shooting high into the air, and the sound of the impact echoed across the entire Turbulent Sea, causing large titanic creatures that made their homes on the far edges of the Turbulent Sea to take flight into the sky and the sea creatures to scatter in all directions

The waves created by that one punch were so massive that they islands all over the Turbulent Sea and the ships of the pirates that largely was unaffected before exploded. 

Azief did not even intend to do this but his force this time reaches to the island. And without Hikigaya holding the formation stable, the island ports also was swallowed by a large wave

The punch was swift but the effect could still be felt even after the punch was executed. 

This is what happens when gods fight each other. The world is the one that suffers and it is the people that had to bear the brunt

The dust of battle is swept away by the chaotic energy and the people that watched this battle could see how those two ended up after that attack

'Hoo' some could only exclaimed while some could only watch in anxiousness 

Kaiju and Death Monarch is now separated by a few dozen kilometers. It is a short distance between them especially in their titanic form. 

One step and they could dash to each other. 

But they did not immediately clash with each other like before

There is a confident smile on his face. To others, it looks like he was looking down on Kaiju. It is the smile of the strong

To Kaiju, it was a provocation. But Katarina who is now flying closer and closer toward Death Monarch have a different feeling when she saw Azief smile

And her face become solemn. 

Only she knew the meaning of that smile. It is the smile he would give when he wanted to make himself calm. 

It is a way for him to instill confidence in himself and also make sure that the enemy could not see his weakness.

Smiling in the face of a fierce battle makes you looks like you still have a lot to give. It is a very simple method

Yet, it works almost all the time. 

Katarina knows this because he had shared this information with her.

Katarina flies through the clouds, through the cracked space and behind her there is a sword. 

A sword that is getting smaller and smaller

But as it becomes smaller, the power of that sword becomes even more powerful. 

And the shape becomes more detailed. The entire state of the sword becomes even more solid. 

And sword light shines wherever she flew. 

Her sword intent cuts the space that tries to stop her and cuts the waves and the storm that appears even more frequently as she is flying toward the area of Death Monarch and Kaiju battle

People on the island, people near the island, people far away from the island and people who is close to the battle, even when they are looking at all of this event, they almost could not keep up with what is happening.

They also feel the sword intent but that sword intent that is filling the entire Turbulent Sea is now overshadowed by the aura of these two titans clashing against each other

So, some people even forget that there is a sword coming from the island. 

That there is a sword that is sharp and cold that is coming toward the battle site of Death Monarch and Kaiju

The people forget about it. Kaiju forgets about it. And even Azief forgets about it.

The people watched the battle, and they could not tear away their gaze from it. Kaiju watched Death Monarch and he could not tear away his attention even for a bit, for fear that he would be trapped by some kind of method. 

And Azief had thrown all kinds of distraction away from his mind focusing his utmost to defeat Kaiju.

And so….no one could see, no one remember that sword

And that sword is coming closer and closer. 

And then amidst this silent tense standoff between Kaiju and Death Monarch someone heard something

The soldiers on the island look left and right above and below to find the source of this sound.

Those who are more sensitive look up. Most of the powerful figure of the world look up at the sky.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

The sound of something cracking could be heard all over the island, like the sound of a glass being broken

Shing!

They look at in shock. 

BOOOOOM!

The force of this power forces some people to back away. 

'Uhuk!'

'So, this is how it ends?'

'It seems this is the limit of Kaiju' 

These are the words of people who are watching this battle in close proximity. 

They were forced out of their pocket dimension, hidden spaces and from below the sea and above the clouds. 

those people who are watching these battle is all in a sorry state. 

Some have their robes who is unstained become ragged. It was like It was shredded in many parts

  Some have their armors sliced into pieces. 

Others had lines all over their bodies, and each of this line is a cut

All of these are people who come close to see the battle 

Just by being in proximity of the battle nearly kills them

But they are smiling. 

Because they could see with their own eyes of how this battle ended.

A standoff in one moment...and the decisive victory in the next second. This kind of battle…...this kind of ending...it is really unexpected.

Everyone that is watching this battle right now and see how it ended all feel the same way. 

Everyone was wondering how much strikes and kicks these two would trade again, how long they would continue to fight. 

They all thought that after that punch by Death Monarch, after that few second of standoff they would compete in one last shot.

  Kaiju might use the trident of Poseidon to accumulate the power of the sea again and this time uses the power of all the Ten Seas to bear down upon Death Monarch

Death Monarch might use up all of his power to create a destructive and powerful attack. The so called one attack to determine life and death, victory and failure. 

This is how they thought the last moment of this battle would end. 

but when everyone was wondering about this question Kaiju spewed out blood from his mouth

Why did he suddenly spewed out blood? The attack was so fast that no one could see it for a while. 

No one thought that at that moment something unexpected happened. 

'It is pity so many people could not see how the battle ended' said one of the spectator.

  This spectator is now lying down on a large boulder of stone on the shore of a half-split island. 

One of his arms was cut off, there is a deep slash mark crossing over his chest, and blood is spurting out from his wounds

He was close to the battle site and when that last strike hit Kaiju, he also was affected. 

The force of that attack forced him out of the pocket dimension he constructed and he was thrown away hundreds of miles away

Almost all of his Disk nearly exploded. 

It is by luck that his Disk did not break. 

And now even as he is lying on that stone boulders even as the waves of the sea washes over him, he could not help but smile

He felt fortunate that he could see the battle and he felt pity for those who could not see the end of this battle with their own eyes. 

All over the radius of a hundred miles from Death Monarch and Kaiju battle, there is this kind of scene

But they all did not regret watching this battle. 

To those who have high comprehension they could even understand something about their own methods and magic skill after watching Death Monarch and Kaiju fighting each other.

But most of all they felt pity for those who was not able to see this battle until the end

Because the ending was nothing like they suspected. It is very different and very shocking. 

And Kaiju is also shocked right now.

He did not say a word, he was just stunned in shock. 

Just like those people watching the battle from the beginning, he also thought that at the last moment, he and Death Monarch would trade one last attack to determine the winner. 

He never thought that it would end like this

Kaiju had withstand tens of thousands of strikes and kicks by Death Monarch. 

But right now, he is coughing up blood and his hand on the trident loosen. 

Ironically, this attack did not come from Death Monarch at all. 

He looks at his chest and his eyes widened.

Even though he should have known what had happened to him, he still could not believe it until he saw it with his own eyes

His eyes, his expression of incredulousness on his face, all of this show how he could not believe what is happening to him

On his chest, there is a large sword. 

A very pure and solid sword. 

A very cold sword
