The Shadows Lingering

Arc 2, Chapter 35—The Shadows Lingering.

.

.

In life, there's always a world far beyond the reach of others. 

A world so dark and lonely, it could erase an entire nation from existence.

But who prey tell, are the Masters slithering in the shadows?

That was a question worthless beings of weaker attributes, had no access to.

A simple but luxurious round table sat within a massive grand hall.

… 

Inside a peculiar room, the high ceilings created a sense of openness, amplifying the beauty of the view. 

Sunlight streamed through the multicolored glazed windows, creating rainbow fragments around the space. 

The falling light shone brightly on the Side faces of those seated, casting a dark blanket on the opposite side of their faces.

How marvelous.
