Chapter 61 - The Birth of the Lightning Corps (II) (2/2)

Even though Shad was prepared for whatever that was coming, he was still surprised by this sight in front of him.

” Can you tell everything now?” asked Shad because there was still somethings he was not completely clear of.

” Yes, young master.”

” According to the history of the Empire, In every generation within the imperial family, there was always one core member that serves as the sword and shield of the empire known as Shadow. However, the empire had never had such a person for four generations.”

” While the empire was like a blazing sun that shone with boundless light within the world, behind that glory was the shadow. That shadow was there to assist and fight outside the empire against any threats and assist the continuation of the glory of the empire.”

” To help the empire stays strong, to help to emperor accomplish many things that he could not, to deal with many things that could not be touched by the empire.”

” A person like that had to be willing to carry the sins of the empire, give up all their status and position if needed to and abandon all glory. In this generation, the Empire's protector believed you to be that person after watching you.”

” He even knew all your secrets identities and all the things you have done and accomplished since young. He had been secretly investigating you since the age of five before finally coming to that conclusion.” Mark said with a slight smile on his face when he got to the last part.

Shad was not surprised by the fact the old man knew some of his secrets because he knew that not many things could be hidden from that ghost. He was like an eagle looking from above, and everything down below within the imperial capital was within his grasp.

” I see, so this old man wanted to turn me into a mass murderer, making the lands trodden by me to be paved with dry bones. I knew my peaceful life within the capital would be over one day, and I could not escape the fact that I was the prince of one of the four great empires on the continent. Sooner or later I was going to take some responsibilities to ensure the prosperity of the empire. So be it, I am searching for the truth, the truth about the things I could not understand and see, and for that, I need strength. I will take upon this task and use it as though it was a training experience to sharpen myself and increase my strength. ” Shad murmured to himself while looking at the cloudless sky.

While he was saying that, he was thinking about the purple lightning seed in his mana pool as well as his reincarnation. He had never given up on the search for the truth about them. He knew that he needed strength if he wanted to uncover all those secrets. He needed the strength that can move the heaven and earth to do that, even more. One day he will leave this continent in the search of that truth. Even if he has to cross a mountain of flames and swords, he would do anything in his power to uncover these truths. he had the feeling that his life on earth as well the one here was related to this purple seed in some way,

” You all can rise. From now on you will be known as the Lightning Corps, and like heavenly tribulation in the sky, our duties are to punish those who opposed the Empire.” As he said that a small ball of lightning appeared with his palm.

Without any hesitation, he shot it towards the nearby bushes that were a few meters away from the road. In the next moment, a loud painful scream could be heard as the ball lightning blasted into the bushes. the speed of that lightning ball was faster than an arrow. In an instant, a burning smell could be found emanating from behind that bushes.

After smelling that scents, the nearby Lightning corps knew it wasn't from the burning bushes but from a living being.

” These rats have been following us since two days ago. I was waiting for them to make a move but it seemed like they had just signaled their companions.”

” Anyway, I will go ahead with Monalisa and you guys will wait thirty minutes before following us. It's time show me your worth as I did by hunting some mountain tigers.” As he said that, he took one of the horses with Monalisa and ran towards the valley of death with an astonishing speed.
