Chapter 8 - We meet again

[YOU HAVE ENTERED THE SHADOW WORLD.]

The moment he entered he was greeted by a heavy, suffocating killing intent he has ever come across with, in the darkness on the shadow world a pair of human like golden eyes appeared in front of him. "Why?" a voice resounded with pure hatred that was enough to make him shiver strongly, "You said the emperors not their heirs. Why kill her when she knows little?" a beam of gold light shot to the onyx sky as it made a small light allowing him to be able to see who he was talking to, "Shadow emperor, this is really you?" The emperor was nothing happy with his decision to being allies with Kira but what can the dead change? Nothing and so he had to accept Ignas's decision, "I will be taking hold of my actions and if they bring trouble i will take care of it myself so why did you bring me here?" Shadow stared at him for a while then walked towards him, he punched him in the gut and kicked him, grabbed him by the hair and smirked creepily so.

"Brat if seems like you got too drunk on power, do i have to remind you that i, Shadow am your master and there is nothing you can do to change that aside from you dying, not that i will allow it so you will do as i tell him when it comes to my legacy and the promise you made." Ignas coughed blood and stood up, glared at his master in resentment as he approached him master slowly. "I think you are over doing it, all i asked is why you bought me her not you to beat me up. Is this so sort of training again or are you just pleasing yourself, why are you so obsessed with revenge? I understand and i saw you were betrayed and killed but that is you revenge not mine."

"You are with your mother because of me, you killed her husband for her, if not for me you would be dead by now so you are obligated to do ask i tell you! Now i called you here to just tell you something important so listen, you may know me as Shadow but that is not my name, for you to lean my true name you will have to go through a test which will probably benefit you better."

"Wow! Alright tell me what to do since this is something i have to go through anyway, so master enlighten me with you greatness…"

In a blink of an eye, Ignas was devoured without him being able to react or time to think, inside the unknown beast's stomach he was covered in melted gold which burned his skin. While he was being burned by the gold, he was in agony, the more he got burned the more he felt more essence flowing in his body.

He felt as if he was being molted like iron, being shaped into a sharp and deadly weapon. He did not led out a scream nor complain even when he was in a belly of a mysterious beast, he knew Shadow would not let him die if this was meant to kill him.

Time inside the beast did not exist nor was there day or night so he was left with no choice but to see this process to the end, the golden liquid's amount was now halved and given the test he was given, he did not know on how to complete it and so he waited to see were this will end. "Why is he not coming out? Did he die…no i can still sense his mana, seems he is staying in your belly because he wants to. Spit him out!"

"I can not do that, i do not think he is planning on leaving until i die…" The beast groaned in pain only the Shadow realized that Ignas was devouring the beast from the inside, the beast was but nothing but his pet, a pet you might say was quite ancient and one of a kind. This beast was known to be the last of it's kind

."Seems like he is killing you without realizing that he is, force him out already!!!" And with that the beast bit off a chunk of flesh allowing one of the fangs to sink in the stomach, Ignas saw a beam of darkness which he thought that it was his way of escape and so he charged towards it. He left the beast's belly without any issue, the beast led out a roar as it slowly regenerated. "We meet again, it seems like you took more than i expected but seeing how she is healing…it seems fine, how do you feel?" Ignas glared at him in confusion then shifted his gaze on the beast, it was a shadow beast, one with a gold form and black eyes with round pupils, a serpentine dragon scaled body much like an azure dragon and a length of 4 000 meters. It was an Imoogi that was about to evolve into an azure, he later then said with a worried tone: "How long have i been here for?"

"….59 years BUT do not worry, i increased the time flow so you can relax. I believe i asked you a question why are you not replying back?" Ignas was shocked that he been in the belly of the Imoogi for so many years and he shook his head in disbelief.

"My realm increased to Golden immortal….aside from that i think i am fine, this Imoogi, how old is it?" Shadow remained stunned by what he just heard, he now realized that now realized that Ignas has surpassed him in realms. He tried to gauge his strength but no matter how much he tried he couldn't see and so he took out the azure skeleton and gave it to his successor, "You should not ask for a woman's age brat, absorb the skeleton and leave….this might be the last time i see you but you still have two trials left, which you will complete without any assistance…..(whispering quietly) i can not believe this at all, they grow up so fast."

Ignas drew the azure skeleton in the air and watched it revert to it's true form, he then deformed his body in order to form his azure body which was now 3 289 meters in length, four gold horns, onyx sharp fangs, with a serpentine body that was covered with pristine black scaled and golden fur that stretched from his neck to the tail. He then wore the skeleton like his own as it slowly dissolved into his body, the more he absorbed, the stronger his body became allowing his body, mind and realm to for into one.

His scales hardened more than before, his fangs got sharper and stronger and finally his skeleton was fused with Shadow's allowing it to be harder than before, preventing it from breaking easily…

In his azure form he studied himself as he was now 6 600 meters in length, four gold horns, onyx sharp fangs, with a serpentine body that was covered with obsidian scaled and golden fur that stretched from his neck to the tail, amazed by his new appearance, he looked at the Imoogi and slowly approached it and without question, it lowered its head as a sign of submission. This Imoogi was not as old as Ignas have thought it would be. so he decided to place his tail on its head as a sign of dominance, he then said with an even tone: "What is your name?"

"I do not have one for as this moment, i shall abandon my old one for his majesty to grant me a new one."

"Hmm…i will name you Ragnis so from here on out, you are to be my first servant any objections?"

"None…" He by then removed his tail and glared at Shadow, "Your name? Is it…Ashen?" He smirked then said with an humble tone: Oh my yes it is…that is the last legacy i give to you, so invoke it into your battle hymn…it was good to raise you." Ashen slowly started to fade away,

"It was good knowing you and having a master like you….rest well."

"Huh, why do i feel like you would not kill the enemies?"

"I would not be killing them instead i will enslave them till death." Ashen busted out a laughed, "I guess that is fine too…good…bye…my descendant…" After Ashen disappeared, he lingered on the last words he said "descendant" why would he call him "descendant " but wait was he talking to Ignas or Ragnis? That will be for another so as for now, leaving the Shadow world was his priority.

He then focused his gaze on Ragnis whom was now in humanoid form, a woman with her form being both beautiful and intimidating, her skin was a deep, glossy onyx, , her long, dark hair flowed like a river of night, framing a face of sharp, determined features. Her eyes, glowing with a silvery light, burned with loyalty and resolve. "Let's go."

"Yes master…"
