SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Shadow Legion.

Kael didn’t leave immediately, there was something he had been meaning to settle.

His mother.

Lyra.

Now that he possessed Varek’s allegiance, there was no reason to leave the two of them without protection.

Kael turned toward the Quasi-Transcendent.

"Varek."

Varek immediately inclined his head.

"Yes, Master."

"Can you create powerful shadow constructs?"

"I intend to assign them to protect my mother and sister."

"I can, Master."

There wasn’t the slightest hesitation in Varek’s answer.

He slowly raised his hand.

Darkness gathered beneath his feet.

Unlike the ordinary shadow constructs Kael had fought earlier, the shadows this time condensed far more slowly.

They layered upon one another repeatedly, becoming increasingly solid as an immense pressure gradually spread through the throne room.

Moments later...

A gigantic figure emerged.

It stood well over ten feet tall.

Its entire body was clad in heavy black armor that looked as though it had been forged from solid darkness. Broad shoulders, thick limbs, and an imposing physique gave it the appearance of an unbreakable fortress.

Unlike the ordinary shadow constructs, its form was remarkably stable.

Its body no longer rippled like smoke.

Instead, it possessed a tangible solidity that made it seem almost alive.

Even standing silently, it radiated an intimidating presence.

Kael instinctively narrowed his eyes.

"This..."

Even without exchanging blows, he could tell at a glance that this construct was in an entirely different league.

Varek looked toward the towering guardian.

"This is a Nether Sentinel."

"I created it after taking inspiration from a Nether being."

"It excels in both offense and defense."

"If the purpose is protecting someone, few of my remaining creations are more suitable."

Kael slowly nodded.

"Good."

His gaze remained fixed on the towering construct.

Then a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

Just now, Varek said he took inspiration from a Nether being to create the Nether Sentinel.

That choice of words immediately caught Kael’s attention.

Did that mean...

Every shadow construct had been modeled after a different creature?

Almost as though he had read Kael’s thoughts, Varek began explaining before Kael even voiced the question.

"Most of the shadow constructs Master fought during our spar belong to the lesser class."

"They are created entirely from shadow."

"They possess no true substance."

"Their greatest advantage lies in their ease of creation."

"I can summon them in large numbers, making them suitable as expendable soldiers."

Kael listened quietly.

Varek continued.

"However..."

"There also exist specialized legions."

"To create those, I first needed to obtain the shadow of an appropriate being."

"That shadow served as the blueprint."

"Only then could I reproduce their characteristics and create an entirely new legion."

He briefly looked toward the Nether Sentinel.

"Each legion was designed for a different purpose."

"At my peak, I commanded many of them."

A faint pause followed.

"Unfortunately... most have been lost."

"With my current strength, the Nether Sentinel is one of the few specialized legions I am still capable of creating."

Kael nodded thoughtfully.

That explained the enormous difference between the ordinary shadow constructs and the giant standing before him.

The former were disposable soldiers.

A construct this powerful... 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
