With Irving joining forces with Shadow Celestial and Elder Lawrence to seal the terrifying monsters deep within the Abyss of Death, the greatest crisis that Irving and his companions had encountered since the inception of the shelter ga was temporarily resolved.
However, although this crisis was montarily averted, it triggered other changes. The Night Blades suffered the most significant losses during this series of events. Both the supre leader of the Night Blades and the surviving elders were deeply concerned about the current state of their faction.
After confirming that all Night Blades forces in the Desolate Canyon had been completely eradicated, the supre leader of the Night Blades convened an ergency eting with the remaining mbers.
During this urgent assembly, the surviving elders of the Night Blades proposed various plans.
"We can no longer stand against Irving! His power is simply too overwhelming, and he can collaborate with others. We should focus on strengthening our internal forces within the Night Blades," one elder argued.
"I think your suggestion is utterly unreasonable. Even if we agree to concentrate on internal improvents, Irving will definitely not simply make peace with us," another elder countered.
"In any case, if we temporarily conceal ourselves, he won't be able to inflict any further damage upon us. Our strength has already been significantly weakened; we can't continue to confront our enemies head-on," another elder added.
"I believe we should find a way to summon back the powerful mbers who have left the Night Blades. For instance, Elder Lawrence, though he once betrayed us, his current strength is formidable. If we could persuade him to rejoin the Night Blades, our power could see a substantial boost in a short ti," suggested another elder.
Each elder had slightly different viewpoints, and none could persuade the others. After a lengthy period of heated argunts, all the elders turned their attention to the supre leader of the Night Blades.
At this mont, the supre leader was feeling quite troubled. Although his strength was sowhat greater than that of an ordinary elder, he couldn't afford to oppose all of them. If he truly went against every elder, the Night Blades would fall apart completely.
After pondering for a mont, the supre leader of the Night Blades slowly spoke up.
"I believe that each of you has a valid point. For now, we should refrain from continuing our conflict with Irving. We need to focus on developing our strength both in the real world and within the shelter ga."
No sooner had the supre leader finished speaking than a strange voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"How laughable! Do you really think the Night Blades can still develop their power?"
The unfamiliar voice belonged to Shadow Celestial, who had successfully infiltrated the ergency eting of the Night Blades elders using so cunning ans.
Upon hearing Shadow Celestial's voice, all the elders and the supre leader instantly prepared for battle. One elder even summoned dark powers to launch an attack against Shadow Celestial.
However, it was clear that his assault had no effect. Shadow Celestial's strength was far superior to his. Without even putting in a serious effort to retaliate, Shadow Celestial swiftly incapacitated the elder.
This turn of events left the supre leader and the other elders utterly shocked.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" the supre leader of the Night Blades asked Shadow Celestial, his voice tinged with confusion.
At that mont, Shadow Celestial stepped into the center of the gathering, allowing every Night Blades elder to see his true form clearly.
With a smile on his face, Shadow Celestial looked at the supre leader and said, "I am here to make the Night Blades even stronger!"
As soon as Shadow Celestial uttered these words, the supre leader seed to sense sothing. He transford into a form composed entirely of dark energy, gathering this power into a massive hand.
This enormous hand shot toward Shadow Celestial with incredible speed.
Shadow Celestial, still smiling, watched it all unfold without attempting to evade the attack. He knew that the strike would not inflict significant harm on him.
Indeed, the supre leader's attack failed to damage Shadow Celestial in any way. Shadow Celestial remained in plain sight for all to see, still smiling.
anwhile, the massive hand created by the supre leader began to undergo a strange transformation. It was rapidly shrinking, and the dark energy it contained was dissipating just as quickly.
The supre leader of the Night Blades was forced to revert to his human form.
"Who are you?! How could you effortlessly nullify my attack?!" the supre leader asked Shadow Celestial in disbelief.
Shadow Celestial slowly walked closer to him. "I am the true creator of the Night Blades. You have stolen my organization. Do you still dare to question my identity?"
Shadow Celestial's words caused a look of panic to spread across the face of the Night Blades' supre leader.
"You're lying! I am the founder of the Night Blades! Without the items and weapons I brought from the Angel Guild, the Night Blades could never have developed so rapidly!" the supre leader declared in a very firm tone.
Shadow Celestial nodded with a smile. "You did indeed bring many items and weapons from the Angel Guild, but the power you wield is my power!"
As soon as Shadow Celestial finished speaking, the supre leader of the Night Blades began to rapidly age and deteriorate in an irreversible manner.
Faced with this reality, the supre leader's expression turned to one of sheer panic.
"What have you done to ?! Why do I feel my strength dissipating so quickly?!"
"I just told you, I am reclaiming everything that belongs to . The power you are using is rightfully mine, so naturally, I will take it back," Shadow Celestial said, still smiling as he looked at the rapidly aging supre leader of the Night Blades.
Before everyone's eyes, the supre leader quickly turned to ashes.
After Shadow Celestial eliminated the supre leader, the elders of the Night Blades were left speechless in shock.
Shadow Celestial scanned the room and said calmly, "Does anyone wish to leave the Night Blades? If there are those who want to withdraw, you can speak up now. I will not oppose it. However, if you choose to remain with the Night Blades, you must acknowledge as the new supre leader. In return, I will reward you accordingly."
Though Shadow Celestial's tone was very peaceful, he was applying imnse pressure on the Night Blades elders.
Each elder felt a deep sense of fear upon witnessing the fate of the forr supre leader.
One elder spoke up with a trembling voice, "Since the Night Blades were founded by you, it is only natural for you to take up the position of supre leader again. I am willing to accept you as the supre leader of the Night Blades and continue to follow you."
After this elder spoke, the others quickly echoed the sa sentint.
Shadow Celestial smiled at the elders before him. "You have indeed made a very wise choice. I will lead you to strengthen the Night Blades further. However, before I embark on my plans, I must continue to reclaim my power."
Shadow Celestial took the position of the supre leader of the Night Blades. At this mont, he could finally execute the plans he had long desired to pursue.
Shadow Celestial's plan was, in fact, quite simple. He aid to reclaim all the powers that belonged to him. However, these powers were scattered across different corners of both the shelter ga world and the real world. So of Shadow Celestial's powers were even embedded within items and weapons.
Therefore, to reclaim all of his powers, he first needed to retrieve all the items and weapons that contained them.
"Your next task is very straightforward: collect a sufficient number of items and weapons that possess dark and chaotic powers. As long as you can find the weapons I need, I will grant you powers beyond what you previously thought possible. The last supre leader you followed was nothing but a fraud. That's why he could not offer you substantial rewards.
But I am no fraud; I can provide you with incredibly generous rewards," Shadow Celestial declared.
His words finally cald the elders of the Night Blades. Since Shadow Celestial needed them, it ant he wouldn't eliminate them all. Thus, the elders decided to act according to Shadow Celestial's orders.
However, as they prepared for action, each elder also harbored their own suspicions. They were eager to uncover Shadow Celestial's true identity. Yet, they had to be cautious in their investigations. If Shadow Celestial discovered their intentions, they would surely pay a heavy price.
Thus, the situation within the Night Blades underwent a drastic transformation. Under Shadow Celestial's control, the Night Blades would not continue their conflict with Irving for the ti being. However, it was inevitable that they would eventually find themselves at odds with Irving.
The primary power of the Night Blades was dark energy, which Irving would certainly refuse to accept. Irving's mission was to defeat the dark forces and prepare for the arrival of the Dark Overlord. This ant that, sooner or later, Irving would have to face the Night Blades in a final confrontation. Regardless of who the supre leader of the Night Blades was, this situation would not change.
At present, however, Irving was unaware of these developnts. He was still recuperating at ho. Once his injuries healed, he planned to consult Jas about their next course of action.
