Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 20 Desrem: Impossible, this is impossible!

Alchemy monsters are defensive weapons created by the mages of the Shadowmoon civilization while they were raising Treants, a semi-alchemy creature.

Although it was damaged over time and during several civil wars among the tree people, losing most of its combat capabilities.

But its core capability is early warning and assistance!

When destroyed or damaged, it releases a powerful and unstoppable surge of magical energy.

This energy fluctuation can easily penetrate a planet's atmosphere and be sent into outer space.

The effect is equivalent to launching from the ground, reaching speeds approaching 2/10 of the speed of light!

In addition, the inherent concentration of magic in the universe caused this fluctuation to be transmitted through the portal to a location nearly two light-years away from the Heng star system!

It was precisely because of this fluctuation that a flat, round spaceship resembling a beetle received the signal in an area about two light-years away from the Heng system where Azure Star is located!

The owner of this flat, round spaceship is none other than Desrem, a Desrem Nebula being who looks remarkably like Red King and has a horrifying body that seems to have flesh and bones reversed, with a fan-shaped left hand!

"Interesting. Is it magical fluctuation or a special distress signal? There are life fluctuations in this star system, so it must be a magical civilization."

"An indigenous civilization capable of emitting magical fluctuations, interesting. Let's go have some fun."

With a playful expression, Desrem piloted his spaceship into the Heng system.

But once Desrem entered the Heng system, he was completely bewildered.

Because the stars here have gone out!

"The star went out? That's a real shame."

Desrem shook his head. The fate of a civilization that lost its home planet was self-evident.

No civilization can survive after losing its home planet.

Unless they have a technological breakthrough and leave within a year.

Hmm... running with that little broken ball is a good idea, but this dark universe won't grant you such good luck.

Desrem thought to himself, preparing to leave and continue his mission.

But just as he was about to leave, he looked at the extinguished star and suddenly felt something was strange.

He piloted his spaceship a little ahead and spotted a key point.

This star did not die out naturally!

Because that star was there, it didn't collapse or explode, it just went out because it lost its energy!

Someone has tampered with this!

"Someone tampered with it?! I'll see who dares to conduct such an experiment!"

This scene reminded Desrem of the fate of his respected emperor, and his face immediately darkened. He then piloted his spaceship toward the Azure Star.

Desrem's spaceship entered Azure Star directly and then scanned the entire surface of Azure Star.

"There really are still lives! And such a huge number of them!!"

When Desrem saw the approximate population figure displayed on the instrument, he couldn't help but gasp.

He measured the surface temperature and found it had reached -130 degrees Celsius!

In other words, at least three years have passed since this planet lost sunlight!

"Three years, and nearly 100 million people are still alive? How is that possible!"

Desrem looked at the data, still unable to believe the result.

The last person to experience all of this was his master—the Dark Emperor, Alien Empera!

Desrem was shocked, and at that moment, his spaceship hovered above the Azure Star.

Because it was large enough, and because it was used to scan living organisms, it was positioned right above the territory of the Black Kingdom.

Okay, half of the main continent of Azure Star belongs to the Black Kingdom, so everywhere you go is under the skies of the Black Kingdom...

However, it was precisely because his spaceship was over the Black Kingdom that it was discovered by the people of the Black Kingdom.

"Look, what's that?"

"Round and flat, and it can even fly... Could it be the spaceship that Lord Allen has been talking about all this time?"

"Did we make it?"

"No way. If we had made it, the Ministry of Culture would have scattered the newspapers all over the Antarctic Islands."

"Then tell His Majesty quickly!"

The news spread through the bloodlines of the Children of Night and soon reached Norman, who was studying magic.

"Oh? An alien?"

Norman was somewhat surprised to hear this. Could the aliens who appeared at this time be the culprits who extinguished the star?

"I'll go take a look."

Norman returned to Azure Star through the portal, and with a few steps, he traversed nearly half of Azure Star entirely by relying on his physical strength.

……

Before Norman even arrived, a large army had already gathered beneath the spaceship.

This area was originally the territory of the southern kingdoms, but now it is the breeding experimental base of the Black Kingdom.

The general stationed here was Augustine, one of the five generals and the General Who Guards the South.

"General, the army is assembled, and all the mages who went to Shadow Star for further training have arrived! What should we do now?"

"Hold your troops still. His Majesty has received the news and is on his way here. All we can do is wait and not make any rash moves."

"Yes, ma'am."

The guards withdrew, and the army was ordered to remain stationary.

Augustine stroked his beard, squinted, and stared intently at the spaceship above, seemingly lost in thought.

Augustine was originally a member of the royal family of a large tribe on the grasslands. After that royal family was destroyed by the Black Kingdom, he became a member of the Black Kingdom and fought for it.

Therefore, he seemed overly cautious, the one who was invisible among the five generals.

While Augustine was pondering, Desrem on the spaceship also came to his senses.

"This civilization is strange; I need to go and take a look."

As His Majesty's most loyal subordinate, he would not allow anything to harm His Majesty!

The spaceship began to rotate, and then a beam of light appeared. Desrem was teleported off the spaceship and landed on a plain not far away.

"All troops on high alert!"

Augustine was surprised to see Desrem, but quickly issued orders, calling on the entire army to prepare for battle.

"Oh?"

Desrem saw the army being mobilized on the ground, and he also saw the differences among the people of the Black Kingdom.

"How interesting, little people. Tell me why you've survived until now?" Desrem asked, and through telekinesis, there were no communication barriers.

"Did you extinguish the star?"

Augustine stepped forward. Although he didn't want to do something so dangerous, there were some questions he had to ask.

"Answer my question; you have no right to bargain with me."

As Desrem spoke, he waved his fan-shaped left hand, and suddenly a rift opened in the sky, from which a huge fireball flew out and crashed down on the army below.

"defense!"

Augustine immediately gave the order, and the surrounding soldiers raised their shields, while the mages also mobilized their magic to activate runes and use the first-tier magic Shadow Barrier.

"Thump!"

"Um?"

The "ant" that should have been killed by the fireball actually blocked his attack with a simple spell, which made Desrem very curious.

"Interesting. Then you shall serve the great Dark Emperor!" Desrem changed his mind and waved his hand, intending to subdue the entire army.

"The Dark Emperor? We are the subjects of the great Black King, and we pledge our allegiance only to His Majesty the Black King!"

Augustine noted down the word Desrem uttered, drew his sword, looked at Desrem, and said, "State your purpose, alien!"

"You mere natives dare to resist? Then die!"

Desrem waved his hand again as he spoke, declaring that he would conquer these natives by force and make them the most loyal troops under the Great Emperor!

But before that, a little lesson is essential!
