Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 548: The Dark Shadow Sect Master's Regrets

-----

Black recalled his past in just a few seconds as he looked upwards in utter fear. His mind seemed to be even more made up as he realized he had no other option than running away, staying here would only end up killing him at long last, and that would mean the end of his ambitions and dreams.

He already tasted the bitterness of death, the frustration of being suppressed by destiny, he didn't wanted to taste it anymore, even if it meant he had to swallow his pride, and leave everything behind, that was fine, as long as he had himself and a fine vessel, he would be able to raise to the top once more, even if it took him a long time, as long as he could remain existing, his ambitions and dreams would never shatter.

He looked into the enormous aura of fire emerging all around the skies, as he thought that the divine might of the sun itself was going to fall over them.

The disciples fighting against the mold beast were struggling already, many were dying and joining the group, and a few of them began to just run away from the sect territory, jumping the rubble and simply put, getting away as fast as possible.

Black didn't had the time to waste trying to stop them… the two enormous beasts, the giant Shadow Jormungandr Descendant and the Mana-Absorbing Abyssal Spider Queen noticed this enormous fire magic power… they were already highly damaged when they were attacked by that life and light attack that also came from the skies.

A fire attack could be said to be the overkill, and right now, it was being charged!

"Damn it… Red, your useless Vampires died right away, you stupid woman!" thought Black, still angry about the Vampires easily getting defeated.

He quickly enhanced the body of his vessel, as it began to fly away from the scene as fast as possible. Encompassing himself with darkness and shadows, he kicked the air and began to fly away farther and farther…

"Lord Black, we'll leave everything behind?!" asked the Vessel, the Dark Shadow Sect Master.

"Of course we'll do! Do you think we'll simply sacrifice ourselves in vain?! As long as you and I are alive, we can slowly rise once more!" said Black.

"But…! That sect, it took me so long to make…" sighed the Sect Master.

"Agh, shut it! You dare go against the orders of an Immortal? After all the things I've done for you?" asked Black.

"I-I would never!" said sect master.

The sect master of the Dark Shadow Sect, an ice giant with a black beard that was naturally born with the power of dark and shadow magic, named Saldrarion Blackdoor, he comes from an ancient family of dark and shadow magic wielding ice giants of old, as one of the lasts descendants, he was left without anything but himself ever since he lost everything a fateful day.

The Righteous Faction persecuted his Family for being wielders of "dark arts", and due to the decrees made by the Primeval Frost Soul Court, which was the greatest Righteous Faction Immortal Sect in the whole continent, a crusade to exterminate the very last remnants of the Blackdoor Family began.

It was well known amongst the greatest sects, nations, and kingdoms of the continent of Jotunheimr that this infamous family were specialist in the use of black magic, which encompassed darkness and shadow elements.

In the past, they were once part of a large Empire, the Dark Empire, a powerful Empire that dominated the continent and brought down even immortals with them as its leaders were also immortals.

This Empire had once threatened even the Primeval Frost Soul Court, but ultimately perished when these immortals from within the court decided to act at long last, when they saw that they couldn't let them have their way any longer.

As the ones made to secure peace in the entire continent by the Ice Queen, the Venerable of Ice and the latest that had ever existed, they acted and destroyed the Dark Empire in a single night.

However, with such a big Empire and an even bigger family, they were bound to have some survivors carrying that blood. This is why the Court decided to put a task to all righteous faction to investigate any user of darkness and shadow magic they could ever found, as it could most likely be survivors from the Blackdoor family.

This is why an event known as the "Extinguishing Darkness" began, where the righteous faction had grown obsessed with gaining merit for the Court, so they began killing anyone that could wield this element anyways, without even asking if they were even of the Blackdoor family or further investigating.

It was very rare for ice giants to wield other elements than ice, but it happened more often than with fire, there were many innocents that were persecuted and killed in gruesome ways only because of the magic power they were born as.

Saldrarion was actually one that possessed such blood, the last one of his kin that had survived after his family got caught and slaughtered before his eyes. Since he was a child that he had to survive on his own after escaping, and due to necessity, he ended doing crimes and acting as a bandit since he was a little toddler, so he could eat and survive another day.

This ultimate made him a well-known criminal when he reached maturity, but that didn't stop him, at the end, he ended gathering many criminals like him to protect each other, and against many people's expectations, these criminals simply vanished one day and even stopped doing their vile acts.

Saldrarion decided to take the easy route and escape into a desolate area, create a sect with all these criminals, and live in harmony in here, although their greed couldn't be easily satiated by just "living in harmony"…

Sooner or later, they put their eyes into the neighboring Sects…
