Lord Shadow - Chapter 1578: Hope

There is the word Stop. When he speaks the words, everyone could understand that it is the word “Stop”

But, only Azief knows that when he said Stop, the words that came into his mind is Banti. That word is the word that came into his mind and this word Stop everything

The true effect of the word affects the Laws of the world, and it did not simply stop the movement of an enemy or a fried.

It is stopping everything. Time, Concepts, particles, atoms, magic. Words that have power to alter reality

What kind of words is it, what kind of language is it that just speaking make the world stop?

Azief rarely uses these words not because he couldn’t speak it. But when he uses it, he could feel the energy draining from him

The longer he uses it, the more of his energy is being drained. Like the word Stop.

If he speaks it, while he could stop his enemy, he could not stop too much thing. He could not stop death, time, concepts and many more

Because the more he stops things, the more fatigued he became.? That is why he rarely uses it.

There are a few words that he had understand using the ring of words

There is the word Stop

Then there is the word Reverse

The word Reverse is also something that is terrifying when it is understood to the apex level.

Azief had once uses it but the most he could do with the Reverse spell is to reverse the damage done to him if he is fast enough.

Sometimes he could even reverse enemy position and movement helping him to avoid many lives and death situation.

Reverse spell in its ultimate understanding could reverse Time, reverse life and Death and probably even reverse one reincarnation cycle and reverse cause and effect.

But just like the word Stop, it takes too much of his energy when he uses it.

Then there is the word Reveal

It is the simplest word to speak. When Azief speak one of any of these words, he felt like his head is about to explode.

The more things his word affect, the more painful the headache.

As for this word Reveal, the effect of this word is to reveal certain things. And it is the only Word that he rarely uses

He knows it reveal something. But Azief also knows there is backlash if he uses it too much. And the words and its effect might seem simple.

After all, with the word reveal, the connation is simply to reveal something. But what if the things his Word will reveal is things that is beyond his power.

“And there are many things in this world that even I could not calculate” He then think of something, smiles bitterly and added

“And there are also certain people I could not calculate” he mutters to himself as he is holding the ring.

For places there is the Ten Seas. His Divine Sense might be able to fills the entire ten seas but the further the area from his true body, the blurry the image become and the more secrets it hides. And some of the Ten Seas looks like fog in his Divine Sense.

And there are still many such places that he could not fully calculate or see even using his Divine Sense and he is already one of the strongest Divine Sense users on Earth.

His Divine Sense alone could smash mountain. He did not even have to wave his hand to crush things or living beings.

He could just think of it and the pressure that is crystalized into an attack of the mental could turns tangible and level out mountain and reap lives.

But even then, it is something his Divine Sense could not calculate.

Imagine if he uses the Word Reveal and it reveals to him what is hidden. But what if what is hidden is hidden for a god reason.

What if there is an artifact, a source of energy that surpasses the Divine Comprehension realm?

Wouldn’t that lead a backlash to him?

Azief had felt the effect of a backlash.

And it is not something that he wanted to experience again

Then he also has the Word “Clouds, Wind and Rain”

When he first understood it, he felt that the wind pushes the clouds, and the clouds bring rain.

The wind brings with it the smell of death, the clouds gather and formed into a shield, bringing down a rain where one life time span is equal to a raindrop. n).-(./—-((I-.n

Alive when it falling, dying when it is dropping.

Clouds, Wind and Rain is the simplest and easiest to use since it had something to do with energy manipulation.

At first, he thought that the Word is an attacking method.

The Clouds, moved by the wind, the wind moves the rain and the rain attack the enemy

But then as he experiments with it, what he thought is an attacking method could also be interpreted differently

Azief had reason to believe that the words that he spoke, is the word of the Etherna. And each word could contain thousands of meanings

The Wind came, pushing the clouds, the rain descends bringing life. Look at it another way, it is a nourishing method

Different in intention, different in emotion could create a different kind of method.

Then there is also the Word Bloom.

And the word requires comprehension.

Bloom requires him to understand what it means to bloom

That understanding would act as the catalyst for the words to be realized. Bloom could mean the blooming of life.

Or it could be understood simply as a flower cultivated for beauty.

It could mean the completion of something, a bud blooming into beautiful flowers. It could mean many things.

But the words must base on something that he believes. And something he feels. And as he looks at his other rings on the floor of his tree house, he sighed

“The rings are all different. And they all have their own specialties. But if there is one thing in common about them all it is that all of them is powered by emotions, feelings, understanding. And once this is understood, you could move the world, the Universe to bend according to your will” He close his eyes for a moment and sigh. Azief had many thoughts right now

There is a reason that tonight unlike any other nights, he laid down the rings and also bring out the blue crystal.

Because as he examines the ring, he found out something about these rings. He never notices it before.

Was it because he never paid attention to it before? Or was it because it was not there before. Whatever the case, he found there is marks on his rings.

Each ring has a mark. The mark is very small. It even looks like scratches

Maybe that is why he never thought to much about it. Because it looks like scratches. And before, he thought that it is possible to have scratches considering that the ring is old.

But the more he understood these rings, the weirder the fact that there are scratches on the ring.

This ring had followed Azief through everything. Even through black holes and dimensional warping and smashing but through all of that, this ring remains as it is. Without a scratch.

That alone shows the durability of this ring.

When Azief was lazing around one day and looking at the ring, and playing around with it, only then he notices the marks.

And then as he looks at the other ring, he also saw this mark. Since then, he had bene trying to figure out what this mark means.

If one looks at only one ring, it might seme like there is only one scratch.

But if Azief write all of the marks on paper, Azief began to realize that it looks like an alphabet. And he recognizes these alphabets.

Ethernian alphabets. This is only his speculation but he is convinced that this ring is Ethernian in nature.

And so, for the last few weeks, he has been trying to arrange the rings into words. A word that makes sense.

And tonight, just the night before it, he once again tries to rack his brain, trying to make sense of these rings and the scratches.

He looks at it and he try to arrange the sequence of the ring so that it would form a word. But the more he tries it, the more it become more disorderly

He tries to arrange it for an hour but nothing comes to his mind.

Then a wind blows and one of the rings roll to another ring. Azief eyes narrowed

“What kind of wind is that?” he thought as he looks at the window. He then got up and close the curtain and then as he was about to pick up the ring, he stopped

“hope” he said with his eyes widened. He turns his body and look at the rings. He aligned the ten rings in a straight line and then he visualizes the scratches to be written vertically and he gasped

“Hope”

“It is hope”
