.....
Atop the mountain, a young man was sitting with an orb in his hand that was under the preservation effect. It meant he could summon the shadow warrior once again, as long as it wasn't destroyed.
As for the shadow warrior being destroyed, he didn't even consider that possibility. He was expecting the shadow warrior to return with the intruders.
Everything was going as per his expectations, and things that didn't go as per his expectations were destroyed by him. However, this time, it was him who was in for a shock.
The orb that he was carrying started developing cracks that spread through the orb within the span of a few seconds.
It happened so fast that he didn't even have the time to react. Before he could come to his senses, the sphere had already been broken into thousands of small pieces.
Even with the preservation effect, the sphere couldn't be used again as the shadow itself had been destroyed.
