Chapter 109 - Gathering of the 7 Novas (V) (1/2)
It was already late at night and the light of the full moon poured down from the sky, lighting up the whole Dark Forest from pitch black to charcoal grey.
It's been more than half an hour since Shad had left with the man known as Dragon Eye to the meeting of the Seven Novas, and they still haven't made it to the location yet.
Inside the forest, as Shad was following Dragon Eye, he only heard the chirping of the birds, he basically didn't find any trace of magical beasts throughout the way. Shad knew that this was because the other Six Novas had banded together and completely drove out all the nearby magical beasts.
At this moment, Shad was climbing a tall mountain peak along with Dragon Eye. According to him, the meeting's taking place on the summit of this mountain which was at least half an hour away from the resting place.
” The gathering of the Seven Novas. Heh, I am curious to find out just how powerful the elite younger generation members of the Egul Continent are.”
Shad's eyes were feverish. Though he came from a powerful background, he had managed to obtain all of his abilities and strength through perseverance, hard work and a little bit of luck. Even though he might that be the strongest person in the Egul Continent, he was still pretty strong. Therefore, he was not afraid or feared any of the so-called Novas.
Nonetheless, inside his heart, he did not dare to underestimate any of them. They all could be considered as little overlords of the Egul Continent. Not only they were the strongest of the younger generations, but they also came from powerful backgrounds.
” We are almost there your highness.” Said Dragon eye was as they were getting closer to the summit of the mountain.
” Hum,” Shad said as he nodded his head.
Shad wasn't afraid if this meeting was just a pretext to ambush him or not. After he had found another way to use the lightning energy within his infinite space and increased his speed by almost twofold, Shad had become more confident in his ability to protect himself.
With his incredibly fast speed that was just like lightning strike or the shooting star, Shad was not afraid of anybody. Even though he might not be able to defeat or kill an 8th rank or 9th rank experts, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him either. If he wanted to run, there's no one that could stop him.
Because of that, Shad was so daring to follow Dragon Eye within the deepest part of the Dark Forest to the meeting of the Seven Novas. Furthermore, he was always on a high alert. His strong spiritual force was constantly scanning the area to check whether there was an ambush.
After a few more minutes, Shad finally made it the summit of the mountain.
Though this was the first time that all the Seven Novas ever got together, one might expect that it would be something grandiose and spectacular. However, it was not the case.
As soon as Shad ascended on the summit of the mountain, he only saw six people gathered on top of it. All of them were extremely young in appearances and they all looked extremely formidable and emitted auras that caused one's heart to palpitate.
Shad was marveled by this sightas well. The scene of the six strongest younger generations gathered together in one spot was rather magnificent indeed. Even though the meeting spot was very simple, it still gave one an extremely strong visual impact seeing these six young people together.
However, what caught Shad's attention the most was a young man that stood by himself, a little further away from the rest. This young man had a tall figure and was very muscular. His aura was so formidable that it towered above the rest of the people on the mountain.
He was dressed in a magnificent blue imperial robe, his long hair swayed in the wind, giving him an elegant and unconventional look. Both of his hands were behind his back, in addition to his stunning facial features, his energy was brutal, violent and monstrously strong which led one to understood that he was more than just a pretty face.
His brutal and violent magic power gave Shad the feeling that there was only room for him in this world, and everybody else didn't have the right to exist.
This young man looked extremely majestic and domineering as he stood alone in the summit of the mountain, away from the rest. Because of his strong spiritual force and keen senses, Shad could clearly feel how powerful this young man was. It was the first time that Shad felt a sense of crisis or danger when looking at someone in the younger generations. However, that same feeling disappeared as fast as it appeared.
As though he could feel someone was looking at him, the young man lifted his head and looked over the direction where Shad just appeared.
As soon as their gazes met, it was like two heavenly swords that cut through the dark sky and met.
The young man's gaze brought with it the type of pressure from one with the ultimate position of power. His gaze was very sharp, arrogant, and wild like the king of wolves in the dark forest. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Under his gaze, the living things in the world were like ants to be killed without a care. His eyes gave off the feeling as though he was a supreme ruler overlooking the world.
However, Shad's gaze was rather peaceful and calm like the quiet surface of a pond. He looked as if the dreadful young man in front him was no different from a random person walking on the streets. There wasn't any trace of ruthlessness or hatred in his eyes. His body was not giving off any strong magic power either. He looked as though he was just a weak mortal or a harmless scholar.
However, the young man felt as though he was completely exposed under his gaze. Especially his right crimson eye, it was as though it had the ability to peer through his soul and all of his secrets and thoughts were laid bare in front of him. It was as if his right crimson eye was an all-seeing eye and nothing could escape it. And this kind of feeling shocked and terrified the young man to the core.
Though this eye contact was just a brief one, it had a lasting impression on both of them.
' This guy is scarier than I thought.' Thought the young man as he was looking at Shad with a strong unmasked killing intent in his eyes before he shifted his gaze to Dragon eye who suddenly left without saying a word.
” Shad my friend, I am glad that you can make it.” A voice came about during this tense brief moment.
Soon, a young man quickly walked toward Shad with a bright smile on his face.
