Nightmare’s Call

*Bam bam bam bam!!!*

In the midst of the roars of the naval cannons, a dense hail of shells rained upon Faldt.

“Spellword—Reflect.”

Faldt raised his hand and pointed.

A massive gray square barrier suddenly appeared before him.

There were maggot-like linings all over the surface of the barrier, and in the center of it, was a large lion head.

The ends of all of the maggots were connected to the mane of the lion head.

*Boom boom boom!!*

At that instant, all of the dark power shells landed on the barrier, then stopped for a moment before they were all reflected back.

All of the shells were sent flying back in the same parabolic arc towards where they were fired from.

*Booommm!!*

Explosions and flame blasted out from the sea region in the distance as angry roars to abandon ship by the Darksiders echoed from afar.

Faldt looked at the direction where the shells came from.

“The closest place to here is Redwin. Then let’s pay the Heaven Spire a visit first, then.” He smiled and with a gentle tap of his foot, the sea beneath him blasted out as a vortex took shape and spun rapidly.

By the time the vortex blasted out, Faldt had already long disappeared.

…

Darkspirit Castle

*Clack.*

Lin Sheng gently placed the white-gold bone gently on the black crystal column.

Something incredible happened.

The white-gold bone actually spontaneously changed its shape and fit very tightly onto the black crystal column.

At the same time, the crystal column slowly deformed as it turned from thick to thin and wide, as its edge slowly evolved into a thin, sharp edge.

In less than ten seconds, the originally rough black crystal column had transformed into a giant two-meter-long sword with a wide black blade.

The hilt of the sword were made out of the white-gold bone, as the blade was as dark as night, from its overall appearance, it looked like a very common, thick-spined machete.

Lin Sheng reached out and gently grasped the hilt of the blade, and lifted it up.

*Hummm…*

The blade trembled violently, letting out a vibrating sound, not unlike a tuning fork.

“Now that I’ve merged two pieces of the fragments, it is already gradually revealing its true form?”

Within the dark palace, Lin Sheng stroked the weapon gently, the weapon made out of the fused Dark Wheel fragments.

He could feel that this was not the Dark Wheel’s true form.

“Based on the gap in the aura, there are at least still two fragments needed before I could reconstruct the complete Dark Wheel.”

Lin Sheng lifted the giant blade up and placed it before him with both hands on the hilt.

“And just one more fragment is enough to activate its initial powers.”

The Dark Wheel was one of the strongest divine artifacts circulating in the Darkspirit Realm, as the holder could control the entirety of the Darkspirit Realm, and become the Supreme Overlord there.

While Lin Sheng did not believe the nonsense about the holder of the Dark Wheel would dominate everything, but he was still rather attracted to the various Darkspirit abilities the Dark Wheel would bestow upon its wielder.

He sat on his throne as he gently caressed the giant blade in his hand as he felt a powerful yet mysterious and hidden energy flowing inside it.

“Almost there… almost there, the third piece will be found soon. I’ve already ascertained which hidden realm it is located in, and I just need to head in to take it.” Lin Sheng’s face was calm, but his heart was anticipant.

At that moment, both the Centaur Lord and the Fairy King had headed to the hidden realm with the third fragment and was in the midst of conquering the largest and most difficult of spaces.

Lin Sheng quietly waited for the good news to come.

With both the Centaur Lord and the Fairy King, both Palatinate-level elites, leading the charge, conquering a hidden realm should not be too difficult.

Before he could carefully study the fusion blade in his hand, a herald rushed into the hall with a Darkspirit soldier with half a body in tow.

“Your Majesty, trouble afoot!” The herald looked solemn as he handed a black scroll over to Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng took the scroll and shook it gently and the scroll exploded into countless green light spots.

“The Fairy King’s recording ability?”

Lin Sheng frowned slightly, he knew that these long-distance recording scrolls were very precious, as it could passively record a lot of important information.

Generally, it would only activate when the wielder was seriously wounded, to record that critical moment.

He had no idea what had happened, but if the recording scroll was activated, that meant a powerful foe had shown up.

Very quickly, the light spots from the scroll coalesced and formed a triangular screen.

The screen began to slowly replay the events that had transpired earlier.

Within a large hall with giant white pillars, a tall black giant with golden braces was roaring as it fought against the Fairy King.

The black giant wore an extremely sturdy metal vest, and with each punch or kick, powerful shockwaves blasted out.

Countless potholes were blown up on the hall grounds

The Fairy King was facing the attacks head-on, but as time passed, she was slowly pushed back.

On the other side, the Centaur Lord held his giant spear in hand, as he exchanged brutal blows against a mermaid-tailed fair-skinned giant.

The Centaur Lord had already gone berserk, and this was the gigantic state he would enter when he unleashed his full power.

His size, which was originally already twice as large as a human, suddenly threw to five meters tall, and three meters wide after his mega growth.

He looked like a literal mountain of flesh from afar.

However, the Centaur Lord’s opponent was not to be underestimated.

That white-skinned, mermaid-tailed giant was similarly about four meters tall, and with every swipe of its trident, a violent vortex formed.

The gray vortexes constantly bombarded the Centaur Lord, interfering with his offensive and defensive actions, and greatly restrained his destructive powers.

“While executing your orders in that hidden realm, the two commanders had discovered this palace of giants. There were two Giant Kings in it, the two powerful rulers who rule over that hidden realm.” The herald was a semi-translucent snake-headed, human-bodied Darkspirit as he started to narrate with a rumbling voice, and that added a chilly atmosphere to the already dark palace.

“Giant Kings?” Lin Sheng rumbled as he gently stroked the giant blade.

“Yes, based on the Deviltongue translated from that realm, the indigenous Darkspirits there call them the Twin Giant Kings,” the snake-headed herald replied.

“That means, that place is also a Darkspirit Realm? And the twin kings are also, Darkspirits?” Lin Sheng suddenly realized.

“Indeed, Your Majesty.”

Lin Sheng went silent for a moment as he lifted the giant blade up.

He slowly walked out of the palace, and to the portal zone before the gate.

Most of the portal guards had already been replaced by Djall Demonhand’s Darkspirits.

Only the unconquered hidden realms were still guarded by the dimension warlocks of the Fairy Kingdom.

*Hiss…*

As he just walked into that place, a slim figure suddenly appeared out of the portal towards the far corner.

It was the Fairy King in her broken green armor.

The moment she stepped out of the portal, her body crooked sideways and almost fell onto the ground.

Fortunately, there was a dimensional warlock standing guard at the corner who quickly held her up.

“Your Majesty!” A group of Fairy Kingdom warlocks quickly stepped forward in a hurry.

The Fairy Kingdom was different from the other Darkspirit tribes, they had a very high sense of belonging and identity to their ruler, the Fairy King.

Lin Sheng raised his hand.

Instantly, a stream of pure white light became a beam as it shrouded the Fairy King and quickly mended her wounds.

Only then did he noticed that the Fairy King’s right arm had been cut off clean, leaving only a gaping wound there.

“Your Majesty… I… have failed you…” the Fairy King said impassively as she knelt towards Lin Sheng.

He simply just looked at her, without saying a word.

Regardless of whether the Fairy King had been fighting wholeheartedly or not, at least her wounds proved that much, and blaming her any further would be counterproductive.

After a moment of silence.

Tenko Kasumi’s red-haired figure suddenly walked out of the portal on the side.

“Follow me.” He looked at Tenko Kasumi.

 “Okay.”

The two then walked in tow, past the Fairy King, and into the portal.

The moment he entered, the Darkspirit Royal Guards, Djall Demonhand, and the other high-level Darkspirits too quickly followed behind.

With the Darkspirit King taking to the field personally, no one knew what would happen afterward if these guards did not follow him.
