Shattering the stone beneath his feet with the pressure of each step. Sigfried stormed ahead, "I'm going to stomp on that bastard's nuts. He is just jealous; I can plow while he plays with his hand."

  Finding it a bit hard to believe how angry Sig was, I could not help recall him using all of his master's money for doing the same thing.

  "Papa? How does one play with their hands." Resting on my shoulders, Arkanos rested her chin on my head.

  "Umm."

  "Papa?"

  "Ummm. I have no idea." I replied, unsure how to even respond to this. "Hey Sig, watch your damn language. Your teaching my daughter naughty stuff."

  "She's a fucking dragon. How long do you think her baser instincts will be obscured by innocence?" He fired off in a puff of rage.

  "You can't possibly be this angry?"

  "How would you feel if you could not bang your wife whenever you wanted? Look at me? I pull woman as much as I drink water." Flexing his muscles, this idiot began posing.

  "Big Bro Sig is a dummy."

  "Agreed." I said, dismissively shaking my head, "Just lead the way. And forget I said anything."

  "Fine, but I'm just saying that damn virgin is pissing me off. He needs to get laid." Said Sig; however, our lips suddenly curled downwards.

  Taking note of Seven shadows to our rear without turning my head, I eyed Sig solemnly. No words were needed, as I had already discussed this on many occasions.

  Sig, Kurt, Cleo, and Yu Jing were targets, and I had them travel together for better protection. Now, however, it was just us. Escape for me was easy, as my Darkness could trick just about anyone if they were not actively trying to see through me.

  My meeting with the Founders was the perfect example of that. They were gods, but they didn't realize who I was, a shadow. They had the power to, but simply using their eyes and not their divinity to look left them wide open to my comprehension of Darkness.

  "Keep leading; there could be a High God that could help," I softly said, patiently glancing through the air. Making sure my words didn't echo, Sig immediately turned around and led the way.

  Showing no tension whatsoever, I held onto Arkanos's two feet hanging down from my two shoulders. "Be ready for combat." I telepathically said.

  Showcasing a smile to match mine, the mischievous dragon giggled. "Papa Arkanos is hungry!" She cheered, sparkling with a foxy glint.

  Arching my lips, I followed after Sig, who had a bit foolishly increased pace. He was not the best actor, so this was to be expected. Narrowing my gaze, the shadow beneath my feet began to fade into the crowd around us.

  Rushing from shadow to shadow like a panther setting up a perfect kill, my lips curled up as my shadow leaped into the shadow of a pedestrian near the seven stalkers.

  "It is indeed Sigfried. Target Identified. Please report back and tell them that the target next to Sigfried maybe Arsene Snow. We cannot be sure, but it's best to assume the worse." The head assassin said, startling me. "Initiate protocol Sigma."

  Did Lynx send these men?

  "Confirm, detonate."

  "Fuck!" I shouted in a bit of desperation; flashing to Sig's side, a domain of pure shadows crafted with the Spear of Noctem appeared. However, just as it did, a flash of pure radiant light flickered through the skies.

  Clashing with my domain, the radiant star that had appeared filled my sights, burning with a radiance light I knew to originate from the Laws of Light. A grim expression marred my lips.

  My Darkness did not have the same weakness other darkness practitioners face, but when your a fucking star burning with divinity, all that means nothing.

  Hoping to God that my Doman of Shadows would last, the Crest of Noctem at the tip of my spear began to crack as I roared, "Sig hurry!"

  "PAPA!!!!" Arkanos screamed; however, Sig was already on point. Gripping a strange talisman in hand, a powerful golden sphere appeared, blocking this massive star of death from blasting us to dust, sweat dripped from my brow.

  Who's damn idea was this to blow me up? It's brilliant, but screw you!

  Not waiting for the debris of this damn star to fade, a cloak of Darkness suddenly covered arkanos and Sig, "You two leave. Sig bro, your only job is bringing Arkanos home. Clear?"

  "Clear," He fired back without hesitation, taking the young dragon with large tears at the corner of her eyes before she could speak.

  Vanishing under the blanket of my Darkness and debris, I narrowed my eyes, also fading, leaving a shadow in my place.

  "I am going to kill a lot of people today," I muttered, holding onto a craving for the blood of every damn fool wishing for my neck. I moved with the shadows appearing near the assassin who set off to kill me.

  "Set off explosion two and three." Said Arod, the head assassin.

  Taking the time to peer into his heart, along with his comrades, my expression only grew darker. Watching two more radiant stars appear in my sight. I scowled grimly at the randomness. These people were all ready to die.

  These explosions were of false gods at the border of godhood. Who the hell came up with this bull shit. What's next, Star-Lords blowing themselves up? I hope this will at least draw out Ty and Melino?.

  Turning to the skies blanketed by ash and the screams of various men below the realm of God, I could not help but frown. These seven are false gods, and they are commanding other false Gods, so are the Star-Lord led by other Star-Lord?

  Since we are cheating, I, too, can cheat. Arching my lips, I shot a heavy stare to Noctem, buzzing with a faint radiance.

  "Sitri, Yeshamiel, it's time for you two to do something aside from fueling my spear. Let me finally see what the full stage of my Dao can do." I muttered aloud, drawing the seven eyes of the assassins towards me.

  Holding Noctem, high in the skies, a divinity of Hell, Heaven, and The Abyss sprang into the skies, like a blade splitting apart the clouds. Peeling the skin from my arms, a burst of demonic laughter I had not released in a while rang.

  "Let there be darkness," I chanted, casting the entire Sword's Coast in a land of Darkness. Blocking even the sight of those in star lord, and above I held a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes.

  Sensing over a hundred angelic presences, suddenly pierce into my domain, my smile only grew, "I wonder whose comprehension is higher because if you are not my level or higher, you will be blinded.

  Sitri and Yeshimiel were the final trump cards I had; I never had the chance to use all the infinite power that was locked in the spear of Noctem building its strength. "I still need to pay you all back for last time, don't I? Let this be a test to see what the true power of my spear is like."
