Chapter 166: His Grace
Death Valleys...
~
"Master, what’s your next plan? It seems like the Dark Lords of the Cursed Castle are forming a team to investigate the attacks on the Portal Halls. Do we need to do something to stop them?" The man who appeared to be the guard of the highest rank in the Death Valley raised tge question in front of the man sitting on the high throne.
The man on the throne remained silent for a while and only spoke after several long minutes had passed, "No one needs to do anything about them. Just lay low for the time being after all the attention that you all have pulled toward the Portal Hall attacks. Leave now."
His voice was filled with the commanding power that made the guard bow his head in greeting before he disappeared from the cave room, leaving the man in the hood all alone with the darkness that resided there.
A strong wind suddenly blew across the room before it disappeared just as soon as it had appeared. The man with the hood stood up from his throne and walked down the steps before coming to stand in the center of the room while his gaze was fixed in a particular direction from behind the hood.
All of a sudden, another person appeared there out of thin air with black smoke surrounding him from head to toe. Little by little, the smoke started disappearing to the point there was only a person standing in long black robes that hid him completely from prying eyes.
The temperature of the cave room suddenly went down to the point that it became unbearably chilly and the air was suddenly filled with a complete sense of darkness that took away any ounce of light that could have existed there.
The newcomer not only reeked of the chilly darkness but also of the ancient power that made his identity even more uncommon and mysterious. Whoever he was, surely wasn’t someone to be taken lightly.
"Your Grace!" The master greeted the newcomer while kneeling on the hard and cold ground, and bowing his head. If one could see beneath the cloak that he was wearing, they could have noticed how he was trembling slightly because of the cold and also... the person who just made an appearance.
"Remember what you just told your man... lay low for the time being and keep preparing for the future. Don’t end up doing anything that will create problems for our big plan." The newcomer reminded the master, his voice coming out just as dark as the shadow surrounding him.
