Chapter 104 - A terrifying army!

As the four presences revealed themselves the tremendous pressure in the surroundings became heavier. The ground cracked and broke apart, while small cracks appeared on the walls.

"... You arrived much sooner than I thought. Well, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised with how much you all feared that man." Arous turned his head to look at the four presences indifferently.

The light in Alioth's eyes flickered as he stared at Arous. "You are from the Steller white clan; didn't the members of that clan die during the last war?" Alioth asked, his voice was laced with curiosity. After all, a clan as powerful as the Steller white clan should be in the upper world.

"... Oh, I'm surprised you still remember us. And here I thought our existence has been forgotten through the passage of time." Arous chuckled to himself as he observed the ones before him.

Standing on his left, the silver-haired youth cautiously grasp the hilt of his sword, preparing to attack at any moment. However, Alioth, Theia, Sunna and Isis completely discarded his existence. There was no need for them to fear the prowess of a mere demigod after all.

"Why are you here, in the lower world? Arous you were once a great elder from the Steller white clan, if you are still alive you could have gained a high position within the upper world." Alioth responded.

"With the destruction of my clan, why would I be interested in the upper world? When we were attacked, all of you turned a blind eye to us and ignored our existence, didn't you?"

"... When you were attacked, what do you mean? Who attacked you, weren't you all wiped out during the last great war?" Alioth furrowed his brow in confusion. According to what he had heard, the Steller white clan never joined the war of God's. However, their entire clan was wiped out because of the shockwave and attacks which were strong enough to crush continents and reduce it to dust in mere seconds.

However, when he thought of it, Alioth found it unbelievable as the Steller white clan wasn't so weak to be destroyed by mere shockwave!

However, there wasn't any other way to explain their destruction... In the end it was rumored that they perish as collateral damage!

All that remained of the Steller white clan in the end was wreckage and destruction! The upper world had tried searching for any survivor but found nothing. And now one of the survivors had actually appeared here, in the lower world.

"Heh, do you actually think I would tell you anything? Instead of worrying about my Steller white clan I'd say you have other pressing concerns at the moment."

"What do you mean?" Theia's soothing voice resounded. Isis frowned as she felt there was some implications behind his words. Her clear silver pupils shone as she observed both Arous and the silver-haired youth cautiously. She was curious as to why they were here.

"... What are you doing here?" However, surprisingly the one who asked was not Isis, but the sun goddess Sunna. Flames lit up in her bright crimson eyes as she asked her questions in a tone that left no room for negotiation. The temperature in the area increased several folds.

However, even under such pressure that held down his body to the point that he found it difficult to move Arous countenance did not wavered at all. "What I meant is simple. You also felt the aura of death too, didn't you?" The corners of Arous lips became upturned as he said that. When Alioth, Theia, Sunna and Isis heard those words they all wore contrasting expressions.

Alioth frowned, while Theia let out a troubled sigh, Sunna's eyes glazed with annoyance, while on the contrary, Isis's eyes lit up. "You! Do you know something about my brother?!" She asked, as her slender body trembled.

"Even after everything that man did, I can see your love haven't decreased at all, sibling love really knows no bound." Arous chuckled as though he found it precious and funny at the same time.

"Answer me!" Isis's presence changes and grew tremendously as she raised her voice.

"You will find out soon enough, until then." As he spoke a wide geometric magic formation appeared beneath his feet. "Thats teleportation magic!" Sunna's figure was shrouded by crimson flames as she charged towards them. She could sense the spatial energy within the formation!

However...

Rumble!

At that moment, a tremendous pressure suddenly swallowed the surroundings!...

Alioth, Theia, Isis and Sunna all widened their eyes from the force of the pressure, which weighed like a mountain over their heads.

Alioth was about to manipulate the space in the surroundings when suddenly, he shuddered fiercely. His instinct suddenly warned him of grave danger!

In a distant place, a pair of crimson eyes suddenly opened up. It was as if the concept of distant was insignificant to this unknown being, those pupils pierced through the space and peered inside the forgotten ruins, directly locking onto Alioth's figure, who was about to use his universal law of space.

He wasn't the only one. Sunna, Theia and Isis also felt someone was glaring intensely at them from some unknown place.

Their faces paled as they felt an indescribable amount of killing intent, along with resentment being directed towards them, giving them the impression that the reapers scythe was hanging over their heads!

Sensing the familiar presence, Arous chuckled to himself.

"To think that princess would even expose herself like this."

However, when he thought of how troubledsome the situation will be from here on he sighed somewhat annoyedly.

"We shall be taking our leave for the time being. Oh, God of space, I wanted to congratulate you on your marriage with the goddess of time." As he said that his figure became illusory before vanishing.

"Quickly seal the space!" Before they could move the figures of Arous along with the silver-haired youth disappeared from the forgotten ruins.

"Tch, that magic formation destroyed the space, I can't find their traces!" Sunna exclaimed, with clenched fist.

"... Th-That man he knows something about my brother, I... I will find him!" Isis's eyes shone fiercely as she tries to find traces of the residual magical energy left behind. But the space was completely distorted and chaotic, making it impossible to not only locate the lingering energies of space but also it was impossible to open any spatial rift.

Alioth and Theia were both completely unfazed by what had happened.

"Before they were summoned, you felt it too, right?" Alioth asked, as he turned his head towards Theia. "Indeed, it's that woman, she is still alive... The princess of the Steller white clan. And it seems she has gotten even stronger." Her voice carried traces of both surprised and anxiety.

She couldn't tell what they were planning, it could be something even troublesome than Hendrix. Meanwhile, Alioth furrowed his brow at this unforseen situation. Even though the space was chaotic right now he could have followed after them if he wished but since this matter involves the princess of the Steller white clan he ultimately decided against it.

'The universal law that woman had comprehended would be difficult to face right now even with the sun goddess, light goddess and the goddess of life is weakened right now.' After pondering deeply about the matter he quickly made up his mind.

"For now, go back to the divine island, I'll go back to the upper world and explain the situation to the higher-ups." As he said that the space around distorted as he disappeared.

Alioth was the god who ruled over the universal law of space, even with the space destroyed, it wasn't enough to hinder his control over the space!

...

Meanwhile, back inside the graveyard...

Anna stood silently as she observed the scene before her with slightly incredulous eyes. Standing before Kenta in an orderly manner were four death knights and one dark knight.

Each death knight held various weapons, and standing before the death knights as though he was their commander was a dark knight, a middle-aged man dressed in heavy armory with his slightly long white hair swaying who goes by the name Azazel. He carried a heavy sword twice the size of his body as the tip of the blade dug into the ground.

In another row was two paled skin beauties with red eyes.

One of them had long flowing black hair with a tinge of red, she was a vampire who goes by the name Arianna. While the other one had short inky black shoulder length black hair who goes by the name Ellie.

The aura that they exuded was dangerous and would make anyone who witnessed it feel not only danger but also fear.

Standing a little to the left of them was a scythe wielding specter who donned a black robe, it was difficult to see the face hidden within the hood.

Two women wearing black magical suit which failed to completely hide their seductive bodies, each holding magical staff which exuded powerful magical pressure.

One of them was a beautiful woman with long black hair and crimson eyes, while the other one had long waist length snow-white hair. Her crimson eyes shone faintly as the magical energy around her became distorted.

Both of them were witches with high magical talent.

Currently, a beautiful pale skin woman with long waist length silky silver hair knelt down before Kenta.

She was an undead ghoul dressed in a black and white maid attire who goes by the name, Julia.

"My lord, what is your desire? Please allow this unworthy one to serve you." The woman said, as she raised her head and peered at his face with heated gaze. Kenta's face quivered slightly as he felt pressured by her gaze when his blue eyes met with those pair of crimson eyes.

"Thank you, then I will be counting on you from here on." He responded with a nod. At that the silver-haired woman smiled cutely as she got to her feet. From Kenta's side there was a black wolf like beast gently caressing the side of his leg as though wanting his attention.

Kenta lowered his posture and gently petted the head of the black wolf. The beast growl softly as it wagged its tail. The beast was a shadow hound, a rare species of hound.

"I must say, I'm impressed. These servant of yours are already quite powerful after they became contaminated with the aura of death which caused them to undergo their evolution..." Anna muttered quietly from where she stood.

"... Do you think this is enough?" He inquired without glancing back at her. "Hard to say, with them working alongside you, there shouldn't be anyone capable of causing you too much trouble but, I don't think their enough if you happen to encounter a demigod or a god, I recommend you be careful."

Kenta's pupils shone as he observed them all with clenched fist. 'Right, it's not enough.' If he truly wants to be considered unstoppable then he would have to make an even more powerful army. However, for the time being they were enough for him to deal with the troubles that awaited him as he walked the path of vengeance.

"Listen up all of you!" He said before them and raised his voice, attracting their attention. All the death knights, vampires, witches, specter and undead gazed at him with their full attention as though they feared they might miss whatever he was about to say.

"... While I was the one who created all of you, I have no intention of forcing you to go along with my wimps. If you don't wish to follow me, I won't force you. The path that I wish to walk is not only going to be a thorny one but also very bloody. Tell me... Do you still wish to walk alongside me?" Kenta narrowed his eyes as he observed the expression of every one of them to see their resolve.

Before he accepted them as his subordinates he first needed to see their resolve as they tread down the path that will most likely leave behind wreckage and destruction!

"..." For a moment there was only silence until...

"Hahahaha! Of course, if the master wish to walk down the path of blood, then we, your most humble servants will gladly follow you on your path!" The dark knight, Azazel suddenly raised his voice.

Behind him, the other undead knight shook their heads expressing their intentions.

"Indeed, we were saved by you, and so we will gladly follow you, master." The vampire assassin, Ellie spoke up. Arianna who stood next to her also smiled gently revealing her sharp fangs.

"I... shall... serve... the... master!" The specter responded in broken sentences. The silver-haired maid also smiled gently to him as she courteously raised the hem of her dressed.

"Like I said before, we will serve you dutifully. Whatever you desire I shall accomplish it without any hesitation."

It might be the influence of the master servant contract but each of them showed no hesitation in their words as they expressed their intentions to follow him. At that Kenta's lips curved upwards in satisfaction.

"Now the conditions have been met." He snapped his fingers and each of the beings before him disappeared inside his soul space!

Soon, his vision blurred as a waved of sleepiness overwhelmed him.

"Looks like you used up all of your magical energy creating those servants of yours." Anna muttered as she moved closer to Kenta and gently caught his body.

Kenta's consciousness faded away as his surroundings became black.

"Before you go, I will leave my imprint on you. Though I really hope you won't have to use it." She whispered to herself.

She couldn't help but smile tenderly.

"It's good that the entire space was sealed off from the outside world. If it wasn't then everyone from the outside would have become alert when he had created all those undead servants considering their strength."
