Lin Xiao stood facing the creatures emerging from the dark gap, while a heavy silence spread throughout the hall. No one expected that the creatures of Primal Chaos would appear here, in the heart of the kingdom.
Everyone was frozen in place, unable to believe what they were seeing.
But Lin Xiao, unlike them, did not feel fear or hesitation. Rather, there was something inside him that was reacting to these creatures.
"They are not strangers to me…" he muttered, his eyes shining with a deep golden gleam.
Suddenly, a creature rushed towards him at lightning speed, its claws reaching straight for his heart, but before it could get close, its movement stopped in mid-air.
Everyone looked on in astonishment… Lin Xiao was standing still, not moving an inch, but the creature was suspended in the void, unable to advance.
"What… What's happening?!" One of the Elders shouted in astonishment.
Lin Xiao raised his hand, and in an instant, the black aura surrounding the being turned into threads of energy, which began to fade within his body, as if he was absorbing it.
He felt a strange power flowing through his veins, as if his blood was changing, as if this darkness… had been a part of him from the very beginning.
"Now I understand…" He whispered to himself, before raising his head and facing the rest of the beings.
If they were the shadows of chaos, then he was its next master.
