Chapter 208 – The Forgotten One
The mountainous region was already buried in shadows, but when Shadeva summoned her children—
there was something different.
This time, the shadows weren't the work of ambient darkness or mindless creatures.
These were conscious. Dense. Devouring. Shadows too powerful to describe.
Dozens of figures blinked into existence around her, instantly, making the already dim realm even darker.
Then, without hesitation, they lunged toward the beasts approaching Shadeva—like wolves released from a cage.
Thousands of beasts. Shadowborn panthers and umbrabats.
Not your everyday pests—these things were notorious in the Shadow Realm. And when I say notorious, I mean the kind of monsters that make even SS-rank brutes piss themselves. Most who met them never came back.
But Shadeva wasn't most. She wasn't low-rank.
She wasn't even normal.
So, in sync—each of her summoned shadows pulled out their weapons, all forged from living shadow.
