The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddesschapter 399: the shadow queen awakens

Somewhere on the battlefield, Max with the huge axe clashed against another one who had a physique similar to his.

He also fought with a giant axe like him and was in Early Transcendent rank.

Max, who was at Peak Epic rank, clashed against him.

CLINK!CLINK!

CLING!CLINK!

Boisterous tremors chimed.

Shockwaves were radiated which swept away the dust and debris.

Metal sparks emerged as two huge axes rubbed against each other.

BANG!

Cracking the ground, Max exploded towards his archenemy Bison who swung his axe.

SCREECH!

Max's whole body trembled and his muscles tensed as he clashed head-on.

Bison clenched his axe tightly to exert more strength while trying to hold the ground so that he wasn't pushed back.

"Just what the hell do you eat, monster?"

"How did you have so much strength?"

Bison shouted at Max's face.

Max didn't answer but roared while pressing his feet hard on the ground causing them to crack radially.

Bison and Max seemed to equally match at each clash.

Both of them separated as neither of them was able to overpower the other.

Bison still had the advantage of speed so he attempted to out-fast Max.

If it was the previous Max, he would pour all his power into his attack but the current him had several experiences till now.

And then Max flicked his axe and grabbed the left hand of Bison while pulling him with all his strength.

Bison lost his balance and Max quickly came behind him and jumped up on him while putting his legs around his torso and his arms around his head.

"Kurghhhh!"

Bison squealed like a pig as Max tried to crack his skull but before he could do that, Bison hit Max with his elbow.

BANG!BANG!

Max's ribs broke due to the repeated attack but he still didn't let him go.

With bloodied lips, he shouted.

"Kill him!"

Previously due to the fight, his men were either blasted away or getting injured so he ordered them to keep some distance but since he had pinned his enemy down, he could ask his men for help.

However, before his men could step forward to help.

Their bodies froze as an overwhelming force crashed on them.

Except for the sound of swift blowing wind, every other noise ceased to exist.

All the actions going on the battlefield halted instantly as soon as the unknown voice was heard.

And then, they heard the voice of someone and looked towards Alex who was on the floor with a punctured chest on his left.

Dead Silence!

Everyone was shocked to their core due to different reasons.

While Noah and Hunter were shocked wondering what was going on.

Riya was shocked to see Alex's figure falling on the ground with a gaping hole on the left side of the chest.

And similarly, everyone standing in the place was stunned and their bodies were stiffened like statues.

Johnson, Aeon and Max along with every man of Alex stopped their fight.

The enemies could have pressed on them and killed them but none of them dared to raise their weapons.

They were in a state similar to Kinley's soldiers.

Each of them froze. Their sixth sense seemed to be a warning to them not to move otherwise they would die in the hands of an unknown enemy.

Moreover, the current situation seemed to have made their mind blank.

Riya didn't care about Den who was before her and like swift lightning, her figure darted towards Alex.

"Alexxxxx!"

After a brief instant, a loud shriek was heard as Riya reached near Alex within an instant and held Alex in her arms.

Alex coughed drops of black blood which seemed to carry pieces of his internals which passed through his nasal passage giving him a slight suffocation.

The situation was quite ideal for Noah and Hunter to act.

They should rejoice after seeing the enemy's situation. They could make use of this chance to kill them but they couldn't.

There was no joy or happiness on their face, rather they were all alarmed.

Noah and Hunter looked around to find the source of the voice carrying such momentum but they weren't able to spot the enemy.

Alex pressed the hole in his chest to block the blood flow while the hole started to heal and close slowly and steadily.

His strong body accompanied by the Five Elemental Breathing technique provided him with an incredible physique and recovery rate so he was still alive otherwise any other guy would already be close to death.

The spell Restore took a huge part of his divinity and blessings, so the buffs had been lessened but it was still there which provided him additional support.

He was able to avert the killing blow otherwise it would be instant death and since he couldn't use the restore spell for a few days, it would be his end.

Alex gritted his teeth and raised his chin as Riya held him with a trembling hand.

"You...Why did you attack me?"

"No, why are you here? Do people at your level have so much free time? And how can a Saint realm powerhouse stoop so low?"

"You can see me huh!"

"Amusing!"

The space above them distorted and under everyone's frightened gaze, a humanoid figure appeared.

His figure looked like a human but his teeth were sharp and his eyes were blood-red in colour and the ridge on his nose was flat and looked quite unnatural.

Alex used his Eyes of truth and noticed that it was a creature of darkness and was using a human's skin clothing.

But from inside his figure didn't resemble those ugly creatures of darkness, rather they looked more like a vampire than a human.

Alex was taken by surprise seeing the man's presence. More than his looks, Alex's heart skipped a beat after he saw his power levels.

'Mid-Saint Realm!'

He was at a level which was close to the upper tier of power in the world.

Seeing Alex's hateful gaze, the man muttered.

"Kid we don't have any personal enmity still I have to kill you and complete my task."

"Are you an assassin?" Riya asked with a frightened gaze.

"Tsk!"

"Don't compare me to those greedy scums who do anything for money. I belong to a noble group which had grand goals."

"I came here for two things."

"First, to kill this guy." The man muttered while pointing at Alex.

"And the second is to kill Noah Ark and wipe out everyone irrespective of whether you belong to Arkham or Kinley as it wouldn't be I live them alive. "

"What!!"

This time the voice came from Noah as he looked at the man with a hollow gaze.

His mind became blank as soon as he heard the man's words.

There were quite less number of soldiers in Kinley so even if they die, they wouldn't suffer such a loss.

But Arkham would suffer greatly if every one of them was killed here.

And what would happen to his people who are waiting for his arrival with hope?

His father and his nation are waiting for good news.

So he can't die here.

"Attacking us is akin to breaking the treaty. Can you bear the repercussions?" Alex asked with a daunting voice.

He knew that asking such a naive question was meaningless but he needed to buy some time to think something.

His mind was running at full speed looking for plausible scenarios and ways to get out.

"We don't care about that treaty kid?"

"I don't know what you mean but I am assuming that you belong to a secret organisation Sir Azores, "Alex muttered.

The man's expression distorted as he heard his name in Alex's mouth.

"How did you know my name?"

"Will you spare me if I tell you?"

"No, but at least I will give you a painless death?"

"Then go to hell!" Alex shouted and stood up.

The bones of his ribs jerked as he stood up, and the hole healed leaving behind a scar.

"You are good at pissing me off," Azores shouted and waved his hand.

A beam of light shot at Alex.

Alex waved both his hands and raised his sword and stepped before Riya to protect her.

A golden barrier appeared before him which was struck by a beam.

BOOM!

The barrier broke into pieces and Alex smashed away.

Riya's eyes widened and she accelerated to catch Alex's flying body.

Azores smiled and his figure vanished, and he appeared before Riya and kicked her away.

Riya's body shot back as a cannon and crashed onto the trees far away one after another.

Alex, after rolling on the ground like a ball, tried to get up but he was kicked up to the sky by Azores.

And then he was kicked down on the ground and he fell on the ground like a heavy meteorite.

Then Azores appeared in the crater and tried to strike Alex but he found no one.

The Azores frowned and then saw a huge ball of fire over his head.

Alex stared at Noah and his Mythic rank and shouted"Don't doze off. After me, it's going to be your number so let's join to take him down."

Alex screamed and threw the fiery ball.

"Worthless! Azores scoffed and pulling his arms, he threw a casual punch.

BOOM!

The ball that was descending towards him bursts into pieces and Alex was struck by a strong pressure which causes him to vomit blood.

BOOM BOOM!

Azores was attacked by Noah's spell and as a cloud of dust rose, he saw a huge hammer over his head.

He raised his hand and tapped on the hammer.

Crack! Crack!

The hammer shook and shattered while Hunter was pushed back.

"How is this possible!"Hunter screamed as he was sent back flying with a single tap.

Azores locked onto Alex and a violet ball of dense energy appeared over his hand.

"Die!" The ball was shot at Alex.

It exuded a dense energy of destruction.

Alex gathered his mana to teleport however at that time, Riya appeared before him.

Dense mana erupted from her body which made Alex's eyes widen.

Swish!

Riya slashed her dagger and the dense ball that flew towards Alex was swept away by the slash.

Alex stared at Riya back with a bewildered expression.

He was afraid of the forthcoming and at the same, he was relieved seeing Riya awakening her power after seeing him being beaten to death.

His plan seemed to work but once Riya awakened her true self, even Alex didn't know what would happen in the end.

Riya's hair fluttered and a dark purplish mana erupted and ensheathed her completely.

Her eyes have become purple and over the purplish aura, and a dark mass of energy radiated from her.

"With me here, no one is touching him."

As Alex stared at Riya back, he could finally catch the glimpse of the real Queen Of Shadows.
