"Greetings master."
"Hmm i will take my leave." Ignas was seated at his throne as he ate some fruits, he stood up and left the shadow world as he remembered he left his wives behind. Upon his arrival, he saw them talking with those they knew as they seemed to be having a good time and so he grabbed a glass of wine and stood at the corner of the hall room.
'They say banquet last for a period of 4 days, sigh it seems like we will be here for a long time. Ragnis.'
He used the connection he had with Ragnis to communicate, Ragnis felt the connection and responded. 'Yes master. Upon what i have discovered is that the patriarch of the Lionhart family had planned to use the banquet as an excuse to distance you from the madam, he seemed to be planning on assassination but withdrew on the idea and so….'
Ignas lingered for a moment then chuckled softly, 'Kill anyone whom does not belong to mother's estate, go by your intuition and kill those who are exalting murderous intent upon the manor.''Understood master..' Connection was cut off then a voice resounded, "Greetings to you all, i am quite thankful on coming on my behalf and so i prepared a grand show for you all. So everyone….i hope you will enjoy it." After he said this words, the light went off as Ignas started to look around in case of threats.
"Seems like you are quite adaptive to the dark."
"Yes so it seems."
"This is gonna be fun." Three people were surrounding him and he did not care, he used shadow warp to get to his wives and threw them into the shadow world then one of the mysterious man launched at him at full speed, clashed in swords as the guests were protected by a barrier. They viewed the fight as the so called show and kept applauding the performance, Ignas was still trying to gauge his opponent but then the other two joined the fight, making it hard for him to keep on with his meaningless attempts and so he used shadow authority to conjure tentacles that impaled his opponents to death, the nobles gasped as the three man died.
Meanwhile in the shadow world, Jane and Rosa fell onto the throne room and as they stood up they saw a world of black and gold with a golden sun that was neither too hot or able to give warmth, "S-sis…where are we?" Rosa asked while she trembled as she grabbed Jane's dress from the behind, "H-how am i supposed to know? Besides didn't Ignas throw us in here….this place resembles him i mean his skin, i think…" She got interrupted the sound of doors opening as a 240 cm figure, Grey hair, red eyes, white skin, wearing simple made clothes and had an athletic body that was covered with scars entered the room with six other warriors. "I hail as a guardian, Velkan and i am the right hand man of the emperor, It seems like the time has come so welcome to the shadow world. Do appoint them to their respectful rooms…" They were both shocked as they seemed like their arrival was already appointed and so they said nothing and complied with Velkan."Does Ignas rule this place?"
"How is that?" Rosa was left dumbfounded as she somehow knew something was up, they got to their rooms and were looked inside."Hey! Why are you locking the doors?"
"Shut up and focus on yourselves." He's gaze was no different than Ignas's and so they had no choice but to comply once more.
In the banquet, thousands of corpses filled the hall room and two men stood in the center. Those who came to enjoy the banquet were all watching this show that the Baek family has given them, no one said a word and all they can do is watch as corpses continue to fill the hall room.
"Wow my friend i never expected that you would kill all my best warriors so easily but my my, you have become a greater beast than you were." Ignas looked at the familiar man who stood in front of him who was 329 cm in height, long hair, muscular build with a brown skin and creepy blue eyes. He was wearing a long navy jacket, blue pants and blue shoes but apart from that he had a sword on his waist.
"Bastard, where are the others?"
"Oh my i see you have grown quite impatient, how am i supposed to know anyway? All i want is none other than that head of yours but i think i will have to wait a bit longer, i hate bullying the weak after all."
Ignas got lost in this thoughts as he tried to understand the situation. 'This bastard does not seem to be joking or bluffing, should i attack him? No that will only get me killed…'
[Risk: The earth emperor is too strong, RUN]'Even the system is warning me huh?' He looked at him and chuckled like a mad man then rose his hand to point at the Baek's patriarch then moved his hand as if he was doing a throat cut, the Baek patriarch was confused not knowing what or why Ignas would do that on him and so due to the confusion, he did not realize that his head was cut off.
'Why is the world upside dow-' As his head rolled on the ground, the nobles began to panic and forcefully tried to leave the compound but the earth emperor rose his hand to signal for their death. Ignas watched as they died before he whispered:
"Guess your fate has already been decided….what will you do now?" There he was, the king of illusions whom stood with another old man and both were able to leave when ever they wanted but chose to stay.
"What do you mean?" They both tried a sneak attack but just like the Baek family head, their heads rolled down as their lives were snatched by the Reaper's mark.
"Idiots…..I will be seeing you soon mud king." He disappeared with out a trace as he left the earth emperor infuriated.'Mud king?! How dare he!!!' He stomped down in anger before and looked around before he gave out an order,
"Burn it all!!!"
Ray and Michelle both were asleep and Ragnis was seated on the edge of the bed, looking somewhat sad then Ignas appeared in front of her. He was covered in blood and this shocked her greatly, "Are you okay master?!" quickly covered her mouth after she yelled in distress. "You came back drenched in blood…are you wounded?" His mother was already awake or she probably never slept, she sat up and looked at Ragnis and Ignas in anger.Are you not tired of killing? Who is this that has been guard me for the past few days?" Ignas told her everything including the recent event, "You angered the emperors?! Why do such thing? Are you tired of living?"
"Firstly, i have no problem with angering them, secondly, i made a promise to my predecessor….his name might be familiar to you but i won't tell you and lastly, no so let us leave." A portal opened as Ragnis carried Michelle and went in, "What about my maids? They are all orphans and have no were to go."
"I already took them away so now all that is left is you."
"Oh…" They entered the portal and at that moment, the earth emperor arrived with Dunn as the finally realized that they were too late.
'Damn it!' Dunn was trenched in sweat, fear for his noble family filled his heart but the emperor left without a word.
'Is he letting this slide? Ugh i should conduct a strong search for that bastard!'
Another 200 years passed by in the shadow world, Ignas was looking like he has not slept for awhile and this was mainly because of the questions he was asked by his mother, Rosa and Jane. They kept training in their chambers since they were not allowed to leave at all, on the other hand Ignas was busy with the the shadow world's development and he had less time for himself or his family.

"My age is different now, 622 years is now the the the combination of the years i spent in the shadow world including my real age, i guess the trial years are meaningless." He then called out Ragnis whom has become his left hand man. "I want you to this things for me." He gave her a list then told her to leave,
'I think i should start planning on how to deal with those bastards.' He thought long and harder before he sulked his face in annoyance.
