Lord Shadow

Chapter 978: Line that should not be crossed (1)



The Keeper of the palace might not have powerful influence if one counted them individually, but as long as the Head Keeper possess the trust of Death Monarch, they will not fear anything in Pandemonium

Sasha also has her own thoughts about this Head Keeper of the Palace.

Lukas is a middle age man of Caucasian descent. 

He is around six feet four, with a chubby round face and white pale skin. He had a smiling large eye, his green eyes would look at you gently.

He is also slightly chubby in the area of his stomach. Well, he might be called the servants of the Palace, but one had to look who is his master.

The Head Keeper of the Palace probably lived a life that is even better than some of the world leaders in the world.

But this harmless appearance of this person is nothing but a façade. And then there is Sasha

To many officials and ministers of the court, Sasha is one of the most dangerous and mysterious subordinate of Death Monarch

Many people feared her because of her status and her secret like organization that is akin of internal affairs and secret police as they also punish people of Pandemonium that had ill will on Pandemonium. 

Since her job did not have a specific job specification and the broad way that her power could be used, many people did not like her and her organization in particular.

There were many times that the officials wanted to dismantle her organization. 

But, because of the special nature of her organization which answer to one but Death Monarch, her organization did not only keep existing, it also grew more powerful.

But, this person Lukas is also not someone that could be underestimated. The Head Keeper of the Palace possess great power in Pandemonium.

Outside of Pandemonium, they might not possess great power and rarely their name would be something that would make people in awe like Sasha did

But inside Pandemonium, even though the Head Keeper of the Palace is only in Energy Disperse Stage, he is very powerful that even those powerful ministers and the Three Great Generals would not readily offend the Head Keeper of the Palace.

This is because even if you wanted to offend him, you have to remember who this person master is.

The Head Keeper of the palace represent the will of the Centre Palace, and who is the Will of the Centre Palace?

It is Death Monarch. Lukas and Sasha had seen each other many times. And Sasha even knows certain methods of the Head Keeper of the Palace

No normal people would be able to last standing long in the palace if they didn’t have some skill. 

And this Lukas had sacrificed the chance of entering the army or developed himself instead he chose to be the Head Keeper of the Palace, becoming an errand boy

But no one would be able to mock him. because even though he is an errand boy, one must not forget whose errand boy he is.

Lukas also have a lot of information about the matter of the Palace, the feeling of Death Monarch and all of this things that made him very precious to the officials and minister when they wanted to gauge the mood of Death Monarch before rolling out certain plans or wanting to present a memorial or a plan.

Lukas sighed as he looks at the closed door of the throne room with complicated feeling

‘Will He allow us to enter?’ he ask Sasha. Sasha understood the question and she shakes her head

‘My lord will try to breakthrough to the next level. I think since you are cooped inside the Palace, you would not know much about what is happening outside the palace. I would not mind to keep you up to date with the current information’ 

Sasha then look around her. 

She is still around the throne room. Who knows if their conversation outside the throne room would causes the One inside the throne room angry

Sasha look at Lukas and then said

‘Walk with me’ Lukas did not object as he put his hand behind his back as he walks beside Sasha. Then without even looking back, he said to the other keeper of the palace

‘Go to your station. Do what you are hired to do. Do not speak of anything that is happening inside the Palace to the people outside. Make sure the security of the Palace return to normal. And check the Gardens.’ The other keepers bow their head and slowly retreated from the area.

BOOM!

The sound of thunder breaks the silence between the two. The rain is still falling, and one could not tell whether it pick up the pace or it is still the same drizzle of the rain.

Lukas look at the flash of lightning and frowned. 

Sasha knows why the sky seems to be out of whack. The feeling of Death Monarch, was it as stormy as the sky above, she thought to herself.

Every once in a while, the thunder would break and lightning would flash. 

The rain keeps on falling as Sasha keep walking the stony surface of the Palace as she looks at her surroundings. 

She was too shocked at her sudden appearance at the palace that she did not have time to see what changed about the Palace.

She was just chasing the Three Demonic sister when Death Monarch suddenly appeared from out of nowhere, grab her and suddenly she appears on the throne room

Lukas follows Sasha as they walk through the open bridge that connect the throne room to the other part of the structure of the palace 

Sasha widened her eyes as she now could see the changes that is happening on the Palace. She was shocked at the scale of the change.

‘It seems…a lot of change happened.’ Smiling, Lukas who was beside him nodded.

‘It is indeed’ Sasha look to her left at the open bridge and she could see that all around her are translucent mist. 

But that is not what shocked her.

He could see tall mountains on her left side. 

And these mountain is very large and forest also could be seen, with tall and wide trees.

Hills and rivers, streams of waters, lakes all of it could be seen on the left side of the bridge. The shocking thing about this was that this did not exist before. 

This is not the first time that she walks this bridge that would connect her to the other part of the palace. 

But when she looks on her left side she would see a few small hills and a large clearing area below where it is a palace for the Keepers of the Palace had their morning briefing. 

But now, not only there is a mountain in the distance, the height between the ground and the bridge had also multiplied. They are high up in the air.

Yes, during the expansion, the Palace did not only get bigger, stretching the walls and causing some of it to break, it also grows higher

From the outside, it was like a palace that is about to pierce the sky.

They could see that the clouds that is not too high above their head spouting off thunder and lightning

Sasha look at her right side and she could see a large vast land beneath the palace and she drew a gasp. Large empty land other than a few sparse structure could be seen

And that is not the only change

Sasha had a lot of time before she was caught back to the throne room. 

She seen the peaceful environment of Pandemonium and she compared it to the things she had seen when she was out of Pandemonium when she was chasing the Three Demoness.

There is a lot of seismic activity outside of Pandemonium

The waves affected the seas and the ground, tsunamis raises up higher than it was ever recorded in the history of mankind. 

Dormant volcanos on the ground and underneath the seas are all waking up. 

Some of them erupt almost immediately others were forced by the pressure building up under the ground

The power and frequencies of disaster would increase and it would not take long for it to envelop the world.

Titanic earthquake would not be an anomaly, as Sasha herself witness one of such earthquakes that break apart an island into pieces.

On some places, the oceans receded, leaving swathes of naked sands and coral and powerful suction energy coming from the sea.

Sasha had checked the perimeter of Pandemonium the moment that the matters inside Pandemonium calmed down.

After all, at that time, her priorities had been the Three Demoness that is loyal toward Loki. And that is when she sees the seas after she came out of Pandemonium

There is an enormous whirlpool in many of the seas hundreds of times bigger than the largest sinkhole in the world.

But the four corners of Pandemonium were calm, as it seems to be protected not only by the protection formation but also by the force that she is very familiar with. 

Azief after all had uses his Divine Sense to calm down the storms of energy all over the world

While it is still catastrophic it was lessened by Death Monarch effort.
