Chapter 1071: Return home

Earth, Pandemonium

There is a cave behind the back of the Centre Palace. Around the cave all kinds of formation are erected

From concealing formation to protection formation, all kinds of imaginable array formation are employed near the area of the cave

As the world expands and the cave grew bigger so does the range of the array formation. 

There are swords stuck on the four cardinal direction of the cave, a sword formation. 

There are eight orbs that floats on the eight direction, floating and changing position every ten minutes following the principle of the Eight Trigrams

This is the Immortal method

On twenty-four concentric circle with inner and outer lines, runes are lined up. 

the inner circle moves and the outer circle would also move, interchangeable and full of variations, this is a runic array formation.

There is mist on the direction of the east, smog on west, rain in the south, snow in the north, this the element formation.

There is seventy-two points on the circle surrounding the cave, each seventy-two points is called the Seventy-Two Fist.

Once someone enter this area, seventy-two fist containing the power of seventy-two fist with the energy of a full blown strike from Disk Formation leveler would be unleashed toward the intruder

On the north east, northwest, southwest and southeast, each of these direction had some items buried there. 

A hair lock of a woman, the entrails of a winged beast, the tears of anger, the foot of a giant, this is the ritual magic, a mystical means.     

This kind of protection is overkill. 

And a few hundred kilometers from this formation is twelve towers. 

These twelve tower is crude in construction. Since it is erected from the power of elements and was never meant for a long time construction.

It is erected for one purpose and that is the protection of the area around the cave. 

Whoever come in the vicinity of a hundred kilometers from this tower would be cut down to the ground

This tower itself did not have any function.

It looks like a tower from afar because of the design but it is merely peaks of ground jutting out from the ground. 

There are no stairs and there is no window.

Just a tall thin ground that seems to suddenly emerge from the ground and reaches to the sky

On top of the peak is a flat ground. The flat ground is barren and on top of each peak is a black robed man. 

Twelve peaks with twelve black robed men. This are the elites of the Shadow Guards. Each one of them is Disk Formation levelers

One could only imagine the true power of the Shadow Guards that they could order twelve Disk Formation leveler to guard a cave.

Even one Disk Formation leveler would be treated as a great warlord in the world. 

Even though there is already the Divine Comprehension leveler in the world right now, Disk Formation leveler is still capable of great destruction and possess great power.

The cave that all of these formation seems to complement and the cave that the twelve Disk Formation leveler is guarding is the cave where Death Monarch is purportedly to be inside, attempting to breakthrough 

The security and the measures that Sasha had taken, made the world truly believe that Death Monarch is still on Earth.

As long as the world believe that, the people heart is at ease. 

To many of the normal people of the world, they have seen the strength of the Demon King. And the only one who could even have a chance of fighting such a demon king is only Death Monarch

They look up to him as their champion. 

Some even wanted to petition the World Council to persuade Death Monarch not to go to the Seresian world. 

Their reason is simple. If Death Monarch is gone, if such a threat comes again, who would fight it?

They did not know that Death Monarch is not in the cave. Those who know about his location would not speak of it.

As for the Arrayist and the twelve guardians that sat on the twelve peak, even they do not know that Death Monarch is not in the cave.

What is more convincing of a lie than a lie that is not discovered. 

Since even the guardians and the formation master believe that Death Monarch is in that cave, how could then people think something is wrong with the cave

Today, like any other day, the protection around the cave is top notch.

However, today, Death Monarch is returning. 

Inside the cave, ignoring all the spatial formation, the space inside the cave seems to being ripped apart.

Yet, it did not trigger any formation or any detection method.

A hand first come out from the ripped out space and then the entire person come out from the void-like space

Azief appears in that cave, his entire body seems to be emanating the power of time and space. He dusts off some space dust on his shoulders and the energy around him seems to calm down.

He appeared inside the cave that was designated as his seclusion spot without even triggering any kinds of alarm. 

Azief look behind him and his eyes seems to be able to see all of the measures that Sasha had prepared for anyone who would dare to try to come to the cave.

He nodded satisfied with what Sasha had done. Then he mutters to himself

'Maybe, this is how Warp able to always evade detection and why the stronger he became, the harder it is to capture him'

He could not understand it until he himself had experienced it. 

Warp is a special existence. From the report many had said that his calls are the Unique class of Teleportation Master. 

The Unique skill of him enables him to ignore certain laws of physics like Time and Space. 

The reason why even Will would have a hard time fighting Warp is because Warp does not move as fast as him yet at the same time, he could appear anywhere without disturbing the space time continuum. 

When Speedster runs they emit a certain frequency, a vibration of some sort that seems to resonate with the rule of the Universe.

When they reach a certain speed, time and space seems to reverse. And if they go faster, then sometimes weird things happen.

Time travel is one of them. 

Like they were running so fast that time itself could not hold them and so they run toward a realm of possibilities, a realm of the future. 

Running to the past is not a hard task for speedster. 

The only thing that they need to be worry about is the few existences in the Time Tunnel and of course the Time Lords.

But Warp is different. 

He did not run, he simply moves across from one point to another with the least disturbance toward the space and time continuum.

To counter this many great powers also embedded anti-space and time properties in their formation. 

But as long as Warp grows stronger, unless the development and study of formation could keep up with his speed of leveling, most formation would not be able to keep him out

He senses that the principle of Warp teleportation and his way of teleportation is not that different.

Right now, Azief is confident that if he wanted to, he could go anywhere he wants, break any barriers that the world had to offers and no one could do anything

'Ah' he suddenly remembers something

'The Lotus Palace. I forgot about that place' If there is one place that Azief would not be able to teleport himself directly to, it would be the Lotus Palace

He knows how the Arrayist Sage constructed that formation. Because he knows it, he knows he could not teleport into it.

'Maybe, I should also create formation like that. But it would not be easy. Sangmin seems to take inspiration from the Dao of the Three Thousand Worlds'

Of course, if he was really determined, while he could not directly teleport himself to that place he could break it.

But the consequences of breaking that formation is not something that he likes to contemplate. And it is not like the Lotus Order and Pandemonium are enemies.

Even with the Lotus Palace, the Lotus Order would not dare to offend Pandemonium. 

Once they do that, while they could survive relying on the formation of the Lotus palace, they could never go out because once they do they would be hunted by the forces of Pandemonium.

The Lotus Palace then would no longer be a place of protection. Instead it would be a prison.

Azief shake his head 

he just returned and the moment he returns; he could not help but think of the reaction of the Six Great Powers.

He takes a deep breath, calming down his heart and mind. He looks around the cave. This is the designated spot that Sasha had chosen for him.

There were times that Azief went to other places and yet he would ask Sasha to spread the word that he is in seclusion. 

There are only a few places that is the designated spot for such affair.

It is to confuse the enemies and sometime to pacify the hearts of the people of Pandemonium

It seems that a lot of people have been reading this story at other sites.

So, I'm going to be honest with you all

The income I got from this story could no longer support me so I have no other choice to take some other part time job.

I'm sorry but expect that for the other months, I could no longer update daily.

I also make some changes to the privilege section. I added a new privilige where there would be fifteen locked chapter next month

Since the locked chapter is the only chapter that these people wont steal. For this month I still think I could post daily chapter.

But for next month, I could not guarantee it. I also had to stop writing Age of Heroes and Age of Adventure for a while.

Life seems hard nowadays. Haish. Anyway, I still hope you enjoy the story. Out of all the three stories, I focused on Death Monarch because it still has a lot of story to tell.

I do intend to finish Age of Adventure and Age of Heroes but I am alone and finishing all three of them at the same time when each story is actually quite long is pretty hard for me.

I hope you guys aren't going to get mad at me. And for those who have been reading this story here, thank you 

And I appreciate the kind words. Creation is hard but criticism is easy. I am a person who could take so much criticism before I just broke down.

I do read the comments and the reviews. When I read  a good review, I smile. And when I read a bad one, I beat myself up.

That is just who I am. At times when I am having a good day, the criticism doesn't sting as much.

Sometimes, when I am having a bad day, even the simplest criticism could set me off and I began to just break down

But still, I like writing. Bringing the characters sin my head out of it. At times, I do get burned out. And there is some not so detailed plot. 

But as long as the plot moves, sooner or later, there would be an end. 

The only thing I could say right now is thank you for reading the story and enjoying my story.
