[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Great Britain.
...
...
Severus remained silent. It was just him as the only soul in that city, and the glow beginning to emerge in the sky, while the comet was already inside the atmosphere.
He did not know how the world was reacting at that moment outside the city, but certainly everyone must have noticed the comet advancing visibly across the sky, with various parts of the country seeing the enormous block of ice slicing through the air with its intense glow.
The shadow at Severus's feet began to manifest at that instant and quickly expanded behind him, covering the streets and the rooftops of houses and buildings.
His army began to materialize, emerging from the darkness, while the winged creatures advanced into the sky. All those who possessed long-range attacks began to manifest: dragons, the angels, Kargalgan, and the two mages he had transformed into shadows. Tens of thousands of creatures were gathered under his leadership.
The dragons stepped onto rooftops, sinking them under their weight alone, while their bodies adjusted, prepared to attack. Severus watched everything in silence, his hands in his pockets, while his cloak fluttered in the wind. The thousands of creatures stood behind him, ready to attack as soon as the Monarch gave the order.
The comet continued tearing through the air, cutting through the clouds as it advanced directly toward London. Its speed was decreasing, but it was still falling rapidly.
Severus raised his hand and pointed. In the next moment, all the frozen warriors began to create their long-range attacks. The wizards transformed into shadows did not have sufficient range, so they remained silent, while other creatures prepared themselves. Kargalgan began to emit his runic circles with magical seals, and the dragons started to glow, gathering energy in their mouths, ready to attack.
"Fire." Severus gave the command.
In the next instant, everyone fired at the comet advancing toward London. Shot after shot crossed the sky, with flashes of every color. The dragons unleashed bursts of energy, the gargoyle chariots spewed their draconic fire, and magic surged with full force toward the sky.
Even those who were outside the city, observing everything with caution, were able to see the lights being fired, thousands of attacks advancing together.
The meteor, which should have been at around thirty thousand feet, began to be violently struck by the magic. The ice on its surface started to crack as the attacks hit, attacks that should have devastated everything, but somehow the ice was extremely resistant, with a layer of magic.
The attacks did not cease, and Severus soon joined the offensive. He manifested his staff, while an enormous sphere of purple light began to form above him. Severus flexed his body, spun the staff, and pointed it directly at the target. A blast of purple light exploded from the tip of the object, more powerful than any other attack coming from his shadows. After all, no one surpassed him in magic.
The impact was so powerful that it changed the color of the sky at the instant the energy collided with the ice, penetrating deeply into its interior.
Even the piercing attack, despite being small compared to the size of the comet, was causing considerable damage.
"You?!" Suddenly, a voice appeared beside him.
Severus barely had time to react when he felt a spear of ice being fired at him. He immediately interrupted the attack and raised his defenses, knowing he would not be able to dodge it.
The moment the spear struck his shield, Severus was hurled backward, smashing into the buildings. His launched body passed through not just one building, but at least five or six of them, with an explosive echo resounding throughout the area.
Severus was fine, with his shield protecting him, but he had certainly been caught off guard. He got up still holding his staff.
"It can't be... How could it be you?" The irritated and confused voice emerged as Severus stepped out of the destroyed building.
Before him stood a white creature, staring at him intently. Its ears were pointed, its hair white as snow, as were its eyes. Its skin was slightly bluish, as if made of ice. It emanated the aura of a Monarch of the Giants.
The creature clenched its teeth as it looked at him.
"It's you, you became the Monarch of Shadows? It's really you. You survived. Mouro." It was not a question. "Even with another body... I would recognize that aura anywhere," said the Ice Monarch.
"Hello, Rosen. It's been some time," Severus said, observing the kind of creature his old companion had become. He had absorbed the power of the Ice Monarch well and transformed into that form. Severus could also feel the aura of death that only a true Monarch possessed. That creature had certainly destroyed several planets.
"How are you here? Are you with that Ruler?" the Monarch snarled.
Severus raised an eyebrow. Ruler? Severus's mind immediately went to Steve. Could he be a Ruler? In the end, that did not matter now.
"Either way, you seem to have quite an interest in this world, to the point that a second Monarch has come here in such a short time..." Severus snorted, as the Ice Monarch narrowed his eyes.
Severus's shadows continued firing attacks at the sky without stopping. That was the order he had given them all immediately. Even if the Monarch decided to come there to face him, they would still be useful, further destroying the comet. When Severus's attack pierced through the comet, he gained at least fifteen levels, while the shadows continued firing and increasingly filling his experience bar as they destroyed the monsters inside it. In addition, the blows also weakened the enemy army.
The Ice Monarch did not seem to notice this at all. He merely stared at Severus, frustrated.
"Well, this was a world I intended to conquer, but a Monarch of the Giants arrived first. To be honest, I felt something in this direction, so I came here. I found this world and knew something was wrong. I never imagined I would find you. We were searching for the ring of the Monarch of Shadows... But it seems it was you who killed the Monarch of the Giants, wasn't it? I should have realized something was wrong as soon as I felt that this world had become magically more powerful. I just never imagined that this would come from a single person."
"Enough nonsense, Rosen. You are more arrogant than I remember, but it doesn't matter. You will pay for everything you have done. Your betrayal and the worlds you destroyed will meet the same fate as the Monarch of the Giants," Severus said, as three shadows began to manifest behind him.
Bellion, Beru, and Igris appeared and quickly spread out, surrounding the Ice Monarch, each occupying a different position. Severus created a dagger and stared at him.
"Your foolishness brought you here without your army. Now there is a chance to destroy you before the comet falls," Severus said, while the Ice Monarch still seemed extremely frustrated.
The Ice Monarch was frustrated; he wanted answers. Morou's body had been dead in that hall, he and the other Monarchs were certain of it, when the betrayal occurred at the Temple of Order. Even so, the power of the Monarch of Shadows had disappeared from the ring and was now there, bound to another being. Moreover, Severus possessed powerful shadows, as he could clearly sense.
His gaze finally turned to the sky, watching the attacks continue to strike the comet.
It was at that moment that the Ice Monarch realized he needed to act quickly. But he barely had time to react when, suddenly, the four advanced against him. Severus transformed into lightning, shooting forward at his maximum speed. Beru, Igris, and Bellion did not lag behind.
The Ice Monarch focused and began to conjure magic. In the next instant, pillars of ice rose throughout the area, destroying buildings and streets around the location.
The meteor continued advancing, full of shattered parts, but even so it ended up colliding with one side of London, failing to be completely stopped. The impact was immediate. A large area exploded, buildings were destroyed for several blocks, and everything was taken over by ice. The shock also devastated nearby structures as collateral damage.
There was no titanic explosion like that of a common meteor. That comet was different. Its speed had been reduced upon entering the atmosphere, as the creatures inside it needed to be preserved.
The shadows did not cease their attacks even after the impact. They continued firing at the comet on the ground, striking it repeatedly while explosions spread and the ice crackled, breaking as the impact dug ever deeper.
In another part of the city, a battle was taking place at that very moment. Severus and his three shadows were beginning to corner the Ice Monarch, who was hurled against the buildings, exploding with his own body upon impact, spitting blood.
Rosen could not help but be even more surprised. Even at a disadvantage, those shadows were equally powerful. "Damn it... I need my army," he came to the conclusion.
But the obvious was right before him: he was losing and could truly be killed. His only defense was to keep creating layers of ice as protection.
Beru appeared far above him, his claws descending to kill him, but he was quick enough to turn his body into ice and expand it, creating sharp spikes. As he moved through the ice, lightning began to fall from the sky, firing against him. The Ice Monarch was struck, and if he did not possess such great resistance, he would have been defeated right there. His body began to become partially paralyzed due to the lightning coursing through his form.
Igris's sword came down next. He managed to create an ice spear in time and strike Igris before the knight completed the attack, hitting him precisely and causing him to turn into black mist.
Soon after came Bellion, the most difficult to deal with after Severus. He hurled his sword, extending it like a whip and cutting the Monarch, who responded by firing ice while creating enormous icebergs throughout the area, easily surpassing any building or house, as all constructions were shattered.
But by no means were those three the greatest problem for the Ice Monarch.
Severus circled the destroyed area with ease, transformed into blue lightning. Everything seemed to explode in slow motion as he advanced along the flanks of the Ice Monarch.
He barely had time to protect his face, raising his hand in front of him, when the dagger Severus wielded with his other hand struck his palm to shield himself, embedding itself there and stopping just a few centimeters from his face, making his hand gush blood even onto his face.
The Ice Monarch expanded the ice of his body once more, creating sharp spikes, forcing Severus to pull back. Even so, Severus did not fail to cut his hand as he withdrew the dagger, tearing out a cry of pain.
"You bastard..." he muttered, retreating slightly while observing his own hand, with torn skin and blood dripping.
He never imagined he would be in a situation like that simply for facing Severus head-on. Now, he was paying for his mistake.
Severus did not waste time and fired fireballs at the Monarch, who reacted with his only other intact hand, creating layers of ice to prevent the flames from advancing.
The flames destroyed an entire block, but were halted by the ice. Then lightning fell from the sky, further intensifying the destruction, breaking the ice this time, but still not enough to cause damage to the Monarch.
Severus then shot through the lightning into the bed of ice, and upon arriving there, a white light was intensifying as he approached. He knew that the Ice Monarch was accumulating a massive amount of mana, reaching up to 20,000 mana points.
The Ice Monarch would not be able to reach the fallen comet in time, and so he made his move.
In the next moment, the entire city exploded in ice.
