Chapter 64 - 64: The One who Needs to be Saved (2/2)

He can't believe he is fighting with him, and he is the person in command of the Shadows. He knits his brows as he remembers his conversation with Eu.

Eu is in contact with Noite. She suspects he and his brother is behind the Shadows.

He didn't believe her, but now, he doesn't know how to confront the situation. Why are they creating a disturbance?

”Young Master…!” one of the Shadows shouted as he approaches the man.

The chaos continues around them while Noite, his guard, and the Divine Lord stare at each other. There was silence between them while Lord Foeni looks at them questioningly.

'Why?'

Noite bows his head, unable to explain his reasons. It was simple after all— he can't easily abandon his brother.

Then again, his attention fell on the silver spear that almost took his life. It is a familiar weapon that belongs to one of his brother's trusted subordinates.

He looks around and quickly noticed that his men are being slain not by the Divine Lord's men but his brother's elite forces. Cold sweat trickle on his spine at the ominous scene.

He can't believe his own brother has betrayed him. He sent him here to be slaughtered not by the Divine Lord but by his own men.

The Master of the Shadows.

He looks at the Divine Lord Foeni with a mixed expression of guilt and gratefulness. If it weren't for him, he would surely die from that attack.

”Thank you, Ravikanth...” he murmurs.

The Divine Lord Foeni looks away as he observes the chaos before him. He ordered not to harm their enemies, but someone among these Shadows is slaying Noite's men.

There is a wave of evident anger on his face as he returns into the battlefield. He observes the Shadows and looks closely into their unique auras.

He quickly differentiated them and ordered to concentrate on eliminating the hostile shadows. They emerge from their hiding places as they mixed themselves from the lot.

Meanwhile, Noite and his guard were simply surprised by his command.

'Is the Divine Lord saving them? Why...?' Noite looks at him quizzically.

His head is muddled with his current situation. His brother is trying to kill him while his enemy is his savior.

'What is really happening here…?'

”Young Master, are you alright...?” his guard asked.

Noite looks at him in dazed as he weakly smiles. He is unharmed thanks to the Divine Lord's interference.

He can't believe that his loyalty will lead him to his death. If the Lord Foeni didn't shield him, he would die from the hands of his brother's men.

”This can't be possible. This is a mistake... My brother...” he murmurs in denial.

His guard looks at him with sympathetic eyes. It is evident his brother has the intention to eliminate them, but he didn't give out his opinion.

His brother's men was probably a precaution if ever, the Divine Lord Foeni doesn't have intentions to harm them. Still, how did everything led to this?

Why did the Master want to kill his own sibling?

Noite closes his eyes as he noticed his men decline in numbers. He doesn't want to continue watching his men die in front of him.

Noite stood up with the assistance of his guard. He decided to cast a spell in order to save everyone. He doesn't want to sacrifice his men for his brother's madness.

He slowly reenters the chaos to begin his enchantment. He cast a spell using a few drops of his blood.

Shadows are bounded in a contract with their chosen Master. He doesn't want to leave them behind to be slaughtered. Nobody deserves such cruel fates.

They are his comrades!

Noite cast a large scale teleport spell and carefully selected all his men from the lot. It doesn't matter how much magic it requires. It doesn't concern him.

It might even be an impossible feat, but he will defy it and make it possible.

His brother's men noticed his movements and tried once again to assassinate him. Now that he is aware, he has no intention to indulge them and offer his life.

He will obliterate anyone who dares to harm him again. He cast a protective barrier while he carries on with his plan.

The Divine Lord Foeni decided to let him go while he does his best to protect his men. He assumes Noite wanted to confront his brother after this incident.

He wanted to give them that chance.

The Guards and the Divine Lord took care of the Shadows, who does not belong to Noite's ranks.

Meanwhile, Noite escapes with everyone else.

The battle was settled as they finally defeat the remaining shadows trying to break through them. They might be stealthy, but the Divine Lord Foeni didn't give them a chance to deceive him.

The Shadow who attacked Noite was left alone before them. Despite his defeat, he still looks at everyone with disdain and satisfaction.

He manages to leave significant damage from the Divine Lord's and Noite's ranks. Even if he failed, he still considers them achievements.

His Master will be the one to finish the job he started. Once that happens, he is sure that no one will be left unscratched.

”Do you really believe you have won? Guess again, you didn't…” he revealed.

He let out a sinister laugh before turning into ashes and disappearing into the darkness.
