Lord Shadow - Chapter 1633: The Eye Above

And the moment the fire was extinguished, a roar seems to echoes from the deeps of the Flaming Sea.

And suddenly there is a shadow that is rising from the bottom of the Flaming Sea. The heat suddenly rise sup even more and the Flaming Sea is reignited again

The pirates and sailor that saw the shadow could not help but gasp and shudder. And in that moment, the people who was in the Flaming Sea when that shadows from the depths could be seen understand something

When this was happening, there is a red ship sailing the Flaming Sea. This ship stops for a second when the fire of the Flaming Sea was extinguished.

And the crew of this pirate ship saw the shadow. The large shadow that comes from the depths of this Flaming Sea.

And they saw with their own eyes how one part of the Flaming Sea extinguished and then reignited as that shadow come closer to the surface.

And when the fire was reignited, the shadow slink back down to the bottom.

This red ship is the ship of a Pirate Lord. When the shadow rises up, the Pirate Lord rises up from the throne.

In the middle of the deck of this red ship is a crimson red throne. This is the Pirate shop of Pirate Lord Mary.

A giant among humans. When that shadow rises toward the surface, Mary could no longer hear the Song of the Seas and for a moment she was lost on how to navigate the water.

But when the fire was reignited, the Song of the Seas could be heard again.

So, when the shadow rises to the surface, Mary flew up and look toward that area of the extinguished part of the Flaming Sea.

And she is the few people that come close to the area and see the silhouette of that shadow

And she comes into a conclusion

“There is something on the sea floor” she thought and the moment she thought of this idea, she could not help but shudder in fear

Because she sees it

And she felt it

The fire was reignited, Mary flew back to her ship and quickly her ship sails away from the Flaming Sea as fast as possible.

She did not even care about the phenomena in the sky instead, she is sweating buckets on her back.

She close her eyes as she leans on her crimson throne and in her mind, she could not help but imagine the size of that monster and the more she thinks about it, the fearful she became and she shakes her head like she wanted to drive off the imagine from her mind.

There is something underneath the Flaming Sea

A monster

….

Along the shores of Japan, the island empire found itself encircled by a mysterious and treacherous expanse known as the Illusory Sea.

This sea is always shrouded in an ethereal mist, a dense fog that enshrouded the waters, creating an otherworldly aura that mesmerized and deceived those who ventured into its midst. n01n

The Illusory Sea was renowned for its mystical fog, a thick mist that veiled the waters in an intricate web of illusions.

To the untrained and the unwary, this fog was a trap, capable of ensnaring low-level sailors and those vulnerable to the siren call of illusion.

The mist, with its enchanting and deceptive allure, had the power to bewitch the senses, leading astray any who dared navigate its murky embrace.

This dense fog, an ever-present veil that blanketed the Illusory Sea, concealed the true nature of the waters beneath.

Like any other day, this sea is full of thick fog.

But today, when Azief is undergoing his breakthrough, when the power of that Essence suddenly rush out in succession toward the world something changed all over the sea

a surge of cosmic energy emanated from his Essence, rippling outward and cascading across the realms. In that pivotal moment, the very fabric of the world quivered, as if responding to the transcendent forces unleashed by Azief ascent.

The impact of this cosmic upheaval was palpable, transcending the boundaries of the mortal realm and echoing across the Illusory Sea.

The thick fog that perpetually enshrouded the Illusory Sea, casting its veil of illusions upon the waters, momentarily quivered and dissipated under the influence of the sweeping cosmic energies.

For that fleeting moment, clarity pierced through the arcane mists that veiled the Illusory Sea.

The fog, which had long ensnared the senses and beguiled the unwary, momentarily relented, revealing glimpses of the true waters beneath—the shimmering surface reflecting the transient influence of cosmic energies that had momentarily disrupted the sea’s illusory embrace.

Top of Form

Like a large hand sweeps away the fog.

And Hikigaya who was at the sky saw this happening. And in that moment his eyes caught something and his eyes narrow.

Oreki who was waiting for thunder and lightning also look at the same thing and like Hikigaya he also saw something.

It was only a brief moment.

But it was enough.

In that brief moment when the fog was blown by the ripples of energy, Hikigaya and Oreki saw a creature, the size of thirty feet floating over the water.

The creature, towering at a staggering thirty feet, emanated an otherworldly aura that resonated across the Illusory Sea.

Hikigaya sharp eyes, honed by his mastery of illusion, discerned the creature’s ethereal silhouette—a form that seemed to waver and shift, as if dancing on the fringes of reality.

The bizarre creature that is above the waters of the Illusory Sea bore an unnerving and unnatural appearance—a round-bodied entity with an unsettling singularity.

Its form defied conventional understanding, possessing only a singular large eye nestled within the center of its round physique.

Devoid of mouth or ears, its existence was an aberration, an entity that inspired both terror and bewilderment.

As the creature hovered, suspended within the cosmic currents, its lone eye pulsated with an eerie luminescence.

The very presence of this enigmatic being caused distortions in space and time, casting ripples of disruption that permeated the fabric of reality itself.

Its aura, an unsettling force, emanated a palpable sense of otherworldliness that unsettled the natural order.

What struck Hikigaya to his core was the revelation brought forth by this sight—the mist that perpetually veiled the Illusory Sea seemed to emanate from the very eye of this unnerving entity.

The mist itself, a harbinger of illusions and deceit, originated from the creature’s singular gaze, adding an unsettling layer of mystique to its inexplicable nature.

When Hikigaya saw this, he was truly shocked.

“What the hell?” he mutters the moment he saw that creature.

This is because Hikigaya had trained his abilities around the Illusory Sea and he himself gain many benefits training near the Illusory Sea.

But he never had sensed this creature before.

And now seeing this terrifying creature that look something that popped out from some kind of eldritch bestiary, how could Hikigaya is not shocked.

It was only a moment. And then the mist covers the sea once again and Hikigaya could not help but feel wary now.

“It is not time yet” he mutters to himself as he focused back toward the Heavens. But right now, his heart is in disarray.

Oreki also saw it but what he sees is not as clear as the way Hikigaya saw it.

Hikigaya did not know that in the Flaming Sea there is also a creature that nearly revealed itself

Azief breakthrough seems to uncover the secrets of the world. Secrets that even the Heavenly Will did not know.

Because when Mary saw the creature that comes from the depths of the Flaming Sea, when Hikigaya saw that creature that floats above the water of the Illusory Sea, there is another being, high above all the others that is also seeing this.

The Heavenly Will sitting on its throne, looking over the creation of Earth.

He saw it too. And an emotion is birthed again.

Fear. The Heavenly Will narrows its eyes and thunder and lightning fills the world.

If not for the suppression of Azief Essence, right now, the thunder and lightning would descend down toward the Ten Seas

The Heavenly Will should know everything below the Heavens. But now, there is something it did not know. The heavenly Will is angry but at the same time he is fearful

What kind of creature is this that it could hide so thoroughly from the eyes of Heaven?

At the same time, in the Sea of Monsters, there is also a change

The Sea of monsters has always been a place filled with monsters. Some people knows the secret of how to sail in this water.

Sailors and pirate have their own route which could avoid the dangerous ones. But some people find other methods.

Some uses some kind of incense that is exclusive to this Sea. This incense could repel these monsters.

Out of all the body of water in the world, the Sea of Monsters is a place where every part of it is teeming with monsters

There is sea monsters every three feet below the water. As for the island that is in the Sea of Monsters, it is filled with monsters and beast of titanic proportion.

But it also has its benefit to the world. Sinc ethe appearance of the Sea of Monsters, most of monster in the world goes to this sea.

The Flaming Sea is covered by flames, the illusory Sea is covered by thick fog but the Sea of Monsters is covered by monsters.

And just like the other two sea, the wave of energy came, and swept the monsters.

Some of the monsters when they were swept by this energy suddenly screeched and flew away.

Some swims away.

And for a moment, if one look closely, there is a silhouette of something round that could be seen in the middle of the Sea of Monsters.

This round silhouette is very large. Unfortunately, no one could see this scene. But the Heavenly Will could see it

When Azief essence is condensed and ttat energy spreads the world, many of the monsters in the Sea of Monsters suddenly runs away.

It was like they were enchanted by something and then the energy that spread out from Azief essence woke them up.

The Heavenly Will narrows its eyes and he could see the true figure of that silhouette.

An egg. There is a titanic egg in the bottom of the Sea of Monsters.
