Side Story 0.3

The border between Azure Dragon Emperor Kingdom and Paramount Dao Emperor Kingdom has a large mountain range .

Each year , there are hundreds of wars taking place , in such ruthless battles , thousands of lives are harvested .

Looking at the snow covered with blood and coated with corpses of fallen soldiers , the warriors from Paramount Dao Emperor Kingdom all grieves over their death .

"Around 320 soldiers died this time "

One of the warriors from Shadowless Legion , hiding in a cloak, grits his teeth .

"We will take revenge for our fallen brothers"

The leader of Shadowless Legion shuts his eyes close , mourning for his fallen brothers .

There are around twenty warriors on the mountain , patrolling the area .

"Those bastards from Azure Dragon Emperor will die in my hands "

Everyone was going through the same emotions right now , immense anger for their enemies .

But there was one man who didn't feel anything as if his heart had long been dead .

He just silently watched those corpses and fell into deep contemplation .

It has been around three years since Lin Jian has joined Shadowless Legion . In these three long years , he has experienced countless close calls , seen his brothers leaving him and even harvested thousands of lives .

For him , Shadowless Legion has become his Family .

"Lin Jian , stop your reckless thoughts "

The leader notices Lin Jian falling in deep thoughts , so Legion Leader reminds him .

"Recklessly attacking on our enemy only bring you closer to death "

Although Lin Jian expresses no grief and sadness , everyone knows that Lin Jian is the closest to everyone.

He must be feeling sadness and rage much more than any of them .

Lin Jian clenches his teeth and controls himself , he nods his head and gazes over horizons.

Soon they begin to walk forward , while patrolling the area , everyone begins to start conversation .

"I heard that , recently there is a rising star in Demon God Sect "

"Oh ! And who is that rising star you are talking about ?"

Everyone becomes curious when one mentions a rising star .

In a mountain range where snow is falling rapidly , snowstorms can be found everywhere .

Leaving behind a deep footprint , the warriors of Shadowless Legion are doing their duty without negligence.

Because of their sacrifice , the people living in Paramount Dao Emperor Kingdom are always experiencing happiness , luxury and many more .

Although Shadowless Legion is an Elite Legion of the Kingdom , they are not well known in their own country. Which is a very sad thing for them .

But on the other hand , they are both respected and feared in other countries.

Should they feel proud or lost ?

Their own countryman does not even know about them but their enemies are the one to give them meaning to exist in this world ?

"The rising star of that Sect was ...."

"Damn, how can you forget about that brat ? His name is Qi Yuanxian"

"Qi Yuanxian ? Is he strong ?"

"Hell yeah , he is a Paragon just like our Lin Jian "

"Oh !! That's terrifying then "

In the morning it was just cold but when it was night , it was extremely freezing .

Because the mountain range has Heavenly Ice Vien underground , the cold temperature is not simple .

Even the cloak made especially for Shadowless Legion has warmth close to the surface of the sun .

But even with such warmth , Shadowless Legion warriors are still experiencing freezing temperatures.

But what can they do ? This is their duty .

They have to follow the given orders from their superiors .

If it wasn't because of constant war between two countries , the border between Paramount Dao Emperor Kingdom and Azure Dragon Emperor Kingdom is the best location for Ice Cultivators to cultivate themselves.

Because this mountain range has Heavenly Ice Vien underground.

While shaking with no end , experiencing surging Cold Qi on the mountain , the warriors of Shadowless Legion keep on walking around the mountain cliffs and summit .

Even when darkness blinds their eyes , they have no choice but to keep on moving forward .

Baam

Suddenly from behind , when walking on an orderly line , the warriors of Shadowless Legion heard a sound of someone collapsing.

Closing their eyes , they stayed in their position for a long time and turned to look back .

There they see one of their brothers collapse , buried with some snowflake .

"Brother Man...."

Everyone clenched their teeth tightly with their fist gripping endlessly.

After mourning for their fallen brothers for a minute , they left the dead man behind .

The warrior who was happily talking to his brothers was now dead , buried in snow .

And a fallen warrior of the Border will not even receive the privilege of going through a burial ceremony .

If they have family back in their country , their family won't even get the opportunity to hear the news of his death .

The moment someone joins Shadowless Legion , they need to prepare themselves.

They need to abandon their family , wife , son , daughter , parents , friends and everything they love .

Because they can join the Shadowless Legion alive , but they can never leave alive .

"This has already been 31 death in this week "

A warrior wipes tears from his eyes , doing his best not to collapse from emotional injuries .

"Be careful , we are close to Borderline "

Their leader warns everyone to stay alert because they are very close to the Borderline , a very dangerous area for anyone to patrol.

All the remaining 19 warriors prepare themselves .

Preparing themselves not to patrol the Borderline or for sudden abuse .

Instead prepare themselves for sudden death !!

One will not even realize when they died when they are in the range of Borderline .

Step

Step

The long trail of foot marks can be seen behind . In such darkest nights where darkness makes it hard to see , snow keeps on blocking their vision.

And when they reached the Borderline , they soon saw their brother lying on the snow .

"Brother Wu !! "

"That's brother Wu !!"

Everyone began to shout when they saw their Brother Wu lying on the snow .

They soon look around and find no one . After confirming there is no one , everyone runs to Brother Wu .

But when they got close to him , they soon got a full view on their Brother Wu .

Their Brother Wu's body is coated with a tattered cloak which is the same as theirs .

His face , chest and entire body is bathed with fresh blood .

And there is gap separating his skins into two , with fresh blood oozing outside through throat. His throat seems to be splitted by a sharp blade , must be a blade or sword .

And his chest has countless scars and injures , evidence to how much he was torture by his enemies.

His left eye has been gouged out while his left arm has been severed from his body .

His body is shaking with coldness and pain which has been amplified by Cold Qi gathered inside his body .

"Ah .... "

When Brother Wu saw his brothers coming for him , he tried to raise his right arm up .

He exerts all his remaining strength and finally points his finger toward a specific direction. And soon , he dies .

His last breath was used to point in some direction .

"Brother Wu !!"

Just recently they have lost their brother . And now , they have once again lost a brother .

Although when joining Shadowless Legion , they are promised with handsome rewards and glory .

But how many have successfully returned back alive ?

None !!

"That way "

The leader points his finger toward the direction where Brother Wu pointed before his death .

With burning eyes that are bloodshot , everyone screams and expresses their greed and thirst for blood .

HAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!

Their grief is not something they can endure any longer , their agony is not something mere ice and mountains can stop them from expressing .

Everyone starts to follow the direction to where Brother Wu pointed them .

And slowly they begin to see footsteps left behind the snow by their enemy .

"I will drink their bloods and eat their meat "

"I will rip them till my agony won't disappear from my chest "

Everyone clenched their fists , their fingers penetrating their own skin . Soon blood oozes out from their hands and falls down on the snow .

"I will eat every single one of them !!"
