Within the secluded confines of his hideout, nestled deep in the heart of the shadow-filled valley, A teenage boy with his eyes covered in dark black holes can be seen sitting on a chair in the dimly lit chamber. Around him, multiple books could be seen lined up on the shelf. His eyes begged to rest, but he ignored them and focused on the notebook in his hand.
The single lamp on the table casts shadows on the walls. With a determined expression, the boy wrote something in the notebook. In front of him, an array could be seen sketched on the canvas. He closed his eyes and gathered all his focus before slowly opening them and focusing on the sketch before him.
He then took a deep breath and activated the array. A white light covered the room, but soon it dimmed and disappeared. "Why?" A hand smashed the table, shaking everything on it. "Why is it so hard? I was very close to creating it."
He sighed "Now I know why all Rune Masters look like that; it's not their fault this Rune Crafting itself is an art that could make one frustrated. Mastering runs and arrays is one thing, but creating them is just too much; a single mistake can lead to failure."
"The worst part is that you only know the result after activating it. Once you fail, you have to start again," he said, calming himself down slowly through meditation. He then started to focus again and think about the solution. He made some changes and started to write the array slowly.
His hand moved carefully as he drew one stroke after another, careful not to make a single mistake. He had even stopped breathing to not make a single mistake. As he was carving the last rune, he had only one stroke left. 'Roar!' He heard multiple loud roars; his hand slipped, and he made a mistake.
For a moment, he fell silent, not knowing how to react. He then heard the noise again. He looked in the direction from which the sound came. His eyes filled with anger, and he stood up. "These bastards had to disturb me only now. Why did I forget to cast the 'Silence' spell?" He held his hair.
The noise only became louder. He got further worried. "What's up with them? I was going to ignore it, but now it looks like I will need to pay them a visit." His body flickered the next moment, leaving behind an open door.
The Dark Valley, known for its silence, was engulfed in chaos today. Countless shadow creatures could be seen roaring and chasing after a shadowy figure. Even when hundreds of them tried, they could not catch the little figure that moved like a flash. It was looking at the beasts as if they were fools.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm The boy who had just arrived to discover the cause of this disturbance was met with a spectacle that defied logic. He had to rub his eyes and pinch himself to ensure it was real. He was not overreacting, but he had never seen something like this.
The creatures in the valley were not your normal beasts. They were shadow creatures that had absorbed a large amount of shadow energy. They were twice as strong in the darkness, and their speed and concealment were also unmatched. Even he had not imagined they would be played by someone in their own territory, their opponents was easily dodging all their attacks.
It was an enigmatic visitor, a creature unlike any he had ever seen. It looked like a white-colored stag with prismatic antlers that shimmered like starlight. It looked mystical and otherworldly. It had big, violet-colored eyes that shone in a radiant light. Its body was covered in various black-colored patterns. Some looked like ancient symbols, while others resembled strange runes.
He shook his head and came out of the allure. This was not the time to enjoy its beauty. He was the one who was responsible for disturbing him; his fists clenched as he looked at it with anger and curiosity. He pointed his finger at him, multiple uncountable chains appeared, and he started chasing after the opponent.
They moved like fast snakes, surrounding it and cutting all his escape routes. The next moment, the chains charged at it to bind it. A smile appeared on the boy's face as he saw that the Beast had fallen into his trap, but his smile dissipated when he saw that his chains caught only air.
The opponent stood atop the boulder, licking himself and ignoring the boy as if he didn't exist. "What kind of creature is it? It looks like I will need to go all out." He kicked the ground the next moment and launched himself at the opponent.
A circular ring appeared around him. He used 'Shadow Blink' and appeared close to the Beast. His lips raised again, and he said, "Got you." A purple-colored arrow mark appeared above the Beast. The next moment, countless chains appeared from the circular ring and started moving toward the opponent.
The creature sidestepped, but the chains followed him. It blinked and moved a few meters away, relieved. The next moment, its little tail stood, disappeared again, and appeared five meters back. It tilted its head in confusion. Its violet orb-like eyes radiated a calming and serene presence, shifting toward the boy.
For the first time, the eyes of the human met with the creature. It was now that he got a complete look at its appearance. Its upper body is veiled in a luminous, hooded shroud resembling a moonlit mist, adorned with intricate black runs that seem to dance with spectral light. Under this shroud, its form takes on a translucent, spectral quality.
Returning to his senses, he started attacking the opponent again, trying to surround him with the help of other shadow beasts. After some time, he succeeded in cornering the opponent. Just when he thought he would be able to catch him, the eyes of the creature released a violet glow. The runes all over its body lit up violet, and the next moment it turned into a phantom and disappeared from the walls.
Everyone looked at it with their eyes wide open as if unable to believe what had happened. They heard a provoking giggle. The Beast appeared from behind the wall. It didn't stop there; it approached them and moved closer to them. It passed through each attack and opponent as if it were an illusion.
Fueled by anger and curiosity, Rishi tried many ways but finally had to give up. This Beast was a troll; he was playing with them the whole time. Frustration gnawed at him as he realized all his efforts were futile.
Amidst the chaos of pursuit, a moment of clarity washed over him. Perhaps there was more to this mysterious stag than met the eye. With a sigh, he called off his relentless pursuit and withdrew his shadowy beasts. The Spectral Stag, sensing the change in atmosphere, paused in its flight and turned to regard him with its luminous violet eyes.
