Chapter 71: My Dear Shadow

SLASH—!

Elden’s eyes snapped wide, heart hammering against his ribs. The sheer pressure contained in that slash was maddening.

"Light Barrier!" he shouted, summoning a shimmering shield of pure light to protect his team.

BOOOM—!

The blow collided with his barrier, the impact reverberating through the air. Elden gasped as he watched his shield disintegrate, fading like mist under the assault. Gritting his teeth, he poured more mana into it, pushing himself to the limit.

The barrier held.

Barely.

"Huff... huff... huff..." Elden staggered, breath ragged. The amount of mana he’d expended — just to block one attack — was terrifying.

He lifted his head—and froze.

Noah stood there, calm, emotionless. His gaze held the cold indifference of a god peering at ants.

Behind Elden, Ester, Yuki, Elizabeth, and Eric remained under the protection of a shadow barrier. They could see everything, and their faces mirrored their shock. The destructive force Noah wielded was far beyond anything they’d expected.

"You—!" Elden started.

Noah didn’t let him finish.

"Shut up," he said, voice sharp as a blade. "Wait quietly for your turn."

SNAP—!

With a snap of his fingers, shadows burst from the ground, wrapping around Elden’s limbs, binding him so tightly he couldn’t even twitch.

"W-What?!" Elden cried out, horror twisting his face. "How—?!"

He struggled, but it was useless. A S rank being, rendered helpless by a boy considered an A-rank?

Noah didn’t spare him another glance. His cold eyes shifted to the inquisitors gathered behind Elden.

And then he smiled — an evil, soul-chilling smile.

"Normally, I would have entertained you. Let you strike first," he said, voice low, almost conversational. "But not today."

"For what you’ve done to my team... nothingness would be too merciful."

They didn’t deserve a painless end. No. He wanted them to feel every second of their punishment.

He summoned transparent swords from the void — each blade humming with soul-forged killing intent. The air itself trembled as the swords formed, sharp enough to slice not just flesh, but spirit.

Noah pointed a finger.

The swords shot forward.

None of the inquisitors moved. They didn’t even try to flee. They had seen Elden bound like a toy; they knew escape was impossible. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

The blades pierced them without resistance.

And then—

"Arghhhhhh!" Their screams ripped through the battlefield.

"NO—! PLEASE—!"

They writhed and thrashed like animals, the soul-forged aura slicing them from within — cutting through their bodies and shredding their very souls.

The torture went on.

For thirty minutes, the air was filled with screams, pleas, and the grotesque sounds of agony.

Ester, Yuki, Elizabeth, and Eric — now healed and rejuvenated — stood silently beside Noah, watching without pity.

Cold.

Merciless.

The inquisitors’ eyes glazed over. Their bodies twitched on the ground, broken beyond repair, their minds fractured from the endless torment.

Finally, Noah stepped forward, his expression unreadable.

"I think that’s enough," he said quietly, almost as if announcing the end of a lecture.

"I hope... in your next life... you’ll be more careful choosing your enemies."

He paused. Smirked.

"I mean... if you get another life."

He clenched his fist.

"Soul Destruction."

The words left his lips like a sentence.

Instantly, the inquisitors’ souls shattered into nothingness. Not even ashes remained.

Noah’s soul manipulation was nothing like before after the event with Shadeva’s soul.

He smiled softly as he reached Ester.

’I will never abandon her.’

’I will make her a Queen. Equal to you.’

Shadeva’s eyes widened slightly in his mind, her calm shaken.

’How would you even do that?’ she asked.

Noah stopped just inches from Ester, looking into her trembling red eyes.

"Why are you thinking so much, my dear shadow?" he said warmly.

Ester blinked, startled. "Ah—Master, I—I—"

Before she could finish, Noah pulled her into a firm embrace.

Ester stiffened, her mind blank with shock.

"You are my shadow," Noah whispered in her ear. "Today. Tomorrow. Until the end of time."

"I will never abandon you."

"You worry if you’re worthy. But even if you’re not, I’ll make you worthy."

He gently lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. Her eyes brimmed with tears, overflowing with emotion.

"You heard me," Noah said, voice unwavering. "I’ll make you a queen."

At the same time, he answered Shadeva in his mind:

’I’ll find a way. Whether by taking the current shadow realm, or creating a new one for her.’

’My shadow... will not be just any shadow.’

He smirked.

’You’ll be the Queen of Shadows thanks to the realm in your soul. And so will she.’

’Balance must be maintained, right?’

Shadeva smiled in his mind, a flicker of approval crossing her ancient soul.

Noah, meanwhile, simply tightened his hold around Ester, anchoring her trembling soul back to him.

Making her feel peace and security.
