Chapter 531: Powerful Ancient Dark Beasts
-----
The Shadow Jormungandr and the Dark Mana-Absorbing Spiders originated from eggs, but such eggs weren't created out of thin air like Shadow Beasts and Shadow Soldiers were, they came from a mother, a mother that was the original queen of these two species created by Black.
Back then, in ancient times, Black required two powerful Divine Beasts that could become his companions. As a person that couldn't trust other people, the only creatures he could rely on were monsters he specifically trained and tamed to become his loyal beasts.
And he wouldn't make them out of just some random beast he found around, he had already decided that they would be special beasts made out his own powers, specifically modified to possess abilities and powers that could supplement him.
Of course, at the end, these powerful original divine beasts met their end after Black's attempt on becoming a Venerable. The Divine Trial that descended from the skies shattered his will and also his body and soul, ending him and also those two at his side.
His dreams and ambitions were broken, and he died at the side of these two loyal beasts… however, like any malicious immortal, he had many backup plans, even one including his ultimate defeat!
His inheritance not only harbored all of his life's experiences but also many of the techniques and treasures he had collected through his life, in there, he had left two eggs laid by these two beasts he had originally created.
When the Dark Shadow Sect Master found out the inheritance by chance and ended awakening the soul fragment of Black, his phantom possessed his body and he quickly gained a new vessel, and a whole sect to command… however, he lacked power now.
Using the powerful Negative Jewel he had crafted and saved inside of his inheritance, he gathered negative energy from the population of the sect that were inflicted by a curse into their mana cores, which made their mana cores into darkness and shadow attribute through the accumulating of their negative thoughts, this also caused them to have nightmares every night, which would produce a large and steady quantity of negative emotions, forming negative energy which would be absorbed through a dreamscape and infused into the jewel!
With this black jewel, the sect master of the Dark Shadow Sect, commanded by Black, began to recreate many of Black's powerful techniques and spells from when he used to be alive, but they were, of course, remade so they could be conjured by mortals, as they were all originally made by a powerful Rank 9 Immortal Magus.
Although they received immense nerfs to their actual power, the resulting spells and techniques were still incredibly strong and complex, and they were way better than any spell any mortal could ever hope to create. Amongst them, there was the spell to revive these beast eggs and bring these monsters lineages back.
Fueling these eggs left from antiquity with negative emotion energy and a lot of mana, they were revived! Although as babies… Black's phantom and the Dark Shadow Sect Master had to spent over a year raising them from babies, actually, and this is why they delayed their attack to the two sects so much, which they actually only saw as a way to get more resources and nothing else, they never expected that the entire situation revolving them would change so drastically.
By reviving these two beasts and raising them by stuffing them with energy and giving them a lot of food in the form of monsters hunted down by the entire sect, they were able to get more eggs out of them, and Shadow Jormungandr mounts were made, alongside the deadly infection of mana-absorbing spiders which they left inside every dungeon from the two sects they invaded.
This was all a plan so Black could cut off the resources that these sects could get from their own dungeons! This way, they would quickly weaken even more, and they would be ready to harvest after the initial attack, but it al went rather bad at the end, Drake showed up, and their second attack against the Winter Lotus Sect was completely stomped.
However, these two beasts had not been defeated nor tamed by the enemy like their offspring, and were within the underground of the Dark Shadow Sect… Mostly being given the order to produce eggs, but now, the situation was more than dire, and their power and strength was required…
BOOOMMM!!!
A gigantic snake and a gargantuan spider emerged, exuding powerful Auras. Although they were yet to become Rank 5, they were already near the pinnacle of Rank 4, and their power alone generated enormous domains of darkness…
A large part of the floor within the territory of the Dark Shadow Sect was destroyed, however, as they were forced to come out from the underground, so they simply destroyed their way through into the surface, causing a lot of commotion and probably killing a few of the sect's disciples accidentally.
The gargantuan beasts each towered at the very least over 40 meters and glared down into the situation that was happening in the sect's territory, a large group of mold miasma aberration were battling the disciples, and they were in dire need for some help.
Black's phantom ordered the duo of beasts to quickly "do their job" as the two monstrous beings rushed forward and began to attack the army of molded corpses.
They unleashed basic magic attacks, that when conjured by them, became devastating blows. Enormous downpours of sharp spear-shaped shadow magic attacks, and waves of all-consuming shadows that shaped as tentacles and grabbed their enemies, crushing them into the ground.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Hahaha! Know the power of my beasts! Crush them!" laughed Black, as he wasn't simply standing still, he flew around the entire sect and used his powers to restore the shattered jewels that were able to help in erecting the barrier, by using Alchemy Magic and his own Dark and Shadow Magic…
