Chapter 244: Soon To Be King

[One hour ago.]

Shadow quickly raised both his swords, blocking Michael's attack.

Slayer collided with Shadow's swords, causing sparks on their collision.

With not a single hesitation, he leaped backward, as ten Starlight swords struck the spot he was standing on, right in front of Michael.

Shadow kept on moving backwards, as different golden weapons chased after him, missing him by a hair length.

**I have enough!!**

The moment he landed, he Vanished from view.

"Disappearing skill?"

Michael was stunned for a moment, then a grin Appeared on his face.

"You think you're the only one with a disappearing skill?" He activated [Shadow Dash], And thanks to his Fusion with the Clone and Drakon. He Vanished from view.

BOOM!!

BANG!!

CLANG!

BOOM!

Joker who stood close by was stunned, he could hear the sound of Weapons clashing, but the ones attacking were clearly invisible, even with his darkness bloodline, he couldn't pinpoint anything.

Now he understood why Shadow and Darkness are two different things.

BAM!

Shadow appeared meters from him, falling heavily on the ground, Joker blinked because Shadow's right hand had been torn off, like... Pulled from his shoulder.

Like answering his deduction, Michael appeared in front of Shadow with Shadow's right hand in his.

"I thought you are made of smoke? How the hell can you bleed?" He mocked, the moment the blood touch his feet, he heard a Ding Notification in his head.

{Abyssal's Essence detected.}

{Countdown Timer: -10 Minutes.}

'Huh?'

{Countdown: 8: 05: 27.}

'His blood actually reduced the timer? How is that possible? I need to know more about this abyss.'

He turned his head from the hand, to the owner, who slowly stood up with one katana in his left hand.

"How are you related to the Abyss?"

Shadow was taken aback hearing the mention of the word "Abyss".

**Well... My Lord have given up on me, so I might as well tell you.** Shadow fixed his gaze on Michael.

**Those fools who chose to leave us here to die might not be able to detect you yet, But I know you have a sliver of the Abyss in you... You shouldn't get cocky Human, You might be able to defeat me, but you aren't even close enough to touching a cloth on their body let alone killing them.**

"If you hated them, Tell me what I need to know about the Abyss, I might spare you."

Shadow staggered backward for a moment, then looked up at him, his red eyes blazing... Michael instantly got on guard, hearing the Demonic Voice that came out from Shadow.

***Hahaha... Just know one thing young man, before you can be crowned King, and have control of your Army, you need our Acceptance.***

The voice commanded respect, it was so powerful that an unknown amount of pressure fell on the whole field, forcing the Monsters, pets and humans to their knees.

With gritted teeth, Michael channeled all his Energy in his body, holding himself upright... This pressure was beyond anything he had seen.

***I'm impressed, I thought the Former King's choice of successor was a weakling, but you prove to be something more, I'm indeed impressed... Ok young man, We'll be waiting for you.***

"Who... Who are you?" Michael asked with gritted teeth.

***Not all gods are evil, Young man. They might be in the Wrong side, but after the King is back, they'll move towards him... For your question; You will know who I am, when the time is right... I'll give you my Acceptance, Young man... Work harder and pray the others give theirs... I'll also leave a gift, well...

It's only natural to bring a gift for the soon-to-be king.*** Searᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Upon Hearing what the Monster or whatever creature it is, was saying through Shadow, Michael just nodded.

***This body is my spy, I guess his cover is blown, So I'll have to kill him, Not like I'm scared of those low lives. I hope to see you again.***

The next thing Michael saw was Shadow exploding into rain of blood, which all fell on him.

DING!!!!!!!

{High amount of Abyssal's Essence detected!}

{Countdown: - 8 hours.}

{System Countdown: 00: 03: 58.}

Seeing the Countdown, Michael didn't know if he should jump up in joy, or sat down somewhere and think about what the voice had said.

"King? King of what? Is it the Abyss?"

BOOM!!

Michael, and the players who are now standing on their feet, looked up at the now red sky, before they could register what is happening, hundreds of red Lightnings flew from the sky with incredible force.

The players stared in horror, all seeing a grim future ahead of them, a future where they'll be dead without a complete corpse.

But...

...To their shock, the Lightnings struck all the Monsters, like they had a mind of their own, None attacking any players, they all fell directly on the Monsters.

Jennifer, Erika, Violet and Helena leaped back, as five powerful red Lightnings fell on Queen-Spidax, turning her Into ash in matter of seconds.

The four landed meters back, and looked at each other, confusion and surprise clearly visible on their faces.

Orchard saw five lightning landing towards him, The Orcs' king channeled all his Energy to his hand and created a powerful looking barrier around himself.

To Commander Wang and his group shock, the Lightning shattered the barrier like fragile glass, striking Orchard, turning him into ash, silencing his agonizing screams.

"What the hell was that?"

"First a pressure that almost dug me in the ground, now this?"

"At least, all the monsters had been killed."

"You are right."

Word of confusion and surprise were flying everywhere, as the surviving players were still shock about the turn of event.

Mira and Maria lowered their weapons, looking at the pile of Monsters in front of them.

Michael took a deep breath and undo his Fusion, Drakon appeared beside him, also looking around in confusion.

"This power is beyond that of an immortal." Drakon muttered in mild surprised

"I think this is the gift he mentioned."

DING!!

{One Minute left for the system upgrade.}

{Countdown: 00: 00: 57.}

"We'll find out in a minute." Michael muttered with a smile.
