Everyone Else Has a System - 281 Preparations in Netherrealm: The King of Wrath#2
Shadow Clan is a clan of assassins that take their origin way back to a certain race that lived in the darkness beneath the living ground. They were called Under Dwellers at first, later on they were named Shadow Walkers, Night Walkers and later on their name changed to the Shadow Legion.
While the original species still exists, over the course of time and evolution, some of their species reproduced with species of other races, including humans of course. Which let them get intermixed with other races quite smoothly.
The offspring of a human and Shadow Being had the features of a human with the powers and System related to that of Shadow Being. It was quite peculiar to say because the powers, though beneficial in darkness, had no value in the light.
Still, they kept reproducing until there were a lot of what we may call as ‘Shadow Humans’. When a Shadow Human reproduced with another Shadow Human, another Shadow Being was formed surely and not one human case had been noticed till now.
Perhaps it is related to the dominant genes of the Shadow Being that didn’t allow any human genes to dominate?
In any case, when the Shadow Humans, the one with human features and Shadow System, reproduce with another human, the offspring carry both Human and Shadow powers. Which surprisingly is superior, and in fact I would say too much, powerful than either of the aforementioned beings.
And the process doesn’t end there. When that particular offspring mates with another one similar to it, the result may vary from bad to excellent.
What that created was a power-based society, which later got divided into sections depending upon the power they had.
What we are focusing here is the strongest ones that only mated among themselves and not with the weaker ones, soon creating a hierarchical society with the Alpha being the top clan.
Though they were later dethroned because of the arrogance they possessed, by the second strongest ones, the Shadow Clan, which started ruling the entire Shadow Race in a direction different from normal. The path of assassination.
Cristine as well as Eliza, both are part of the Shadow Clan and one at the highest level of hierarchy they have. You can say these two are the Princesses of the Shadow Clan.
However, because of the curse that Eliza had been put under… She was more or less an outcast from the Clan along with her sister, Cristine, who decided to side with her.
……..
“Ah! So all this time… what I took as a curse…. Was a blessing, huh?”
I looked at him with a sighing expression before I spoke,”you were one of the direct workers of the Shadow Beings, huh? The Shadow Elves.”
Wrath looked at me and nodded in agreement as he answered,”yeah. I was one of the Shadow Knights of my Elven Queen. Though… we were betrayed by those half bastards!!”
His eyes were glaring as he looked at me. I knew that the glare was aimed at the Half Elves, who not only betrayed the Shadow Elves, but used them to kill one of the Elven nations before getting the Shadow Elves to be massacred by the other elves.
It was a nasty plan, to be honest… This reminds me that I have to kill the Half Elves as well.
“You said that they were still planning something? Those half bastards were planning to take sides with the Demons and use the strange power to attack the High Elves?” Wrath spoke as he recalled what I had told him.
I told him about what happened to Shadow Elves and other Elves, including what they were planning to do in the future, which made him both irritated and angry at once.
“And you said that you are going to wipe those half bastards?” he asked again as he concentrated on me and I pondered a little before nodding,”yeah. I will wipe them out completely, not leaving even a single one of them alive.”
“Women and children alike?” he asked, and I smiled as I answered,”them specially.”
p-A- n-d-A-n-0-v-e-1、(c)om
Wrath and I turned to her with an odd smile before looking at each other and sighing. Wrath then began speaking.
“The children are the one who rule the entire nation of the Half-Elves, not the elders. They have reverse growth, with their memories and powers sharpest at age 5 and soon degenerating every year. As for the women… well, they are there only for one purpose: reproduction. Their lives themselves are more or less worthless.” And then I added to it,
“It’s not like people haven’t tried saving those women, but… they are kind of instinct driven. If they don’t get s*x from a male Half Elf, they start getting irritated, soon going berserk reverting back to their primal nature.”
“They become cannibalistic if you still feel bad about them… and even if their sanity returns… they don’t stop the cannibalism,” Wrath added with a long sigh as he turned to me and spoke,
“They did quite well, huh? To think even now the Royal Elves have no idea about their true nature.”
I nodded at him, as it was really something to hide such a dark secret that big for so long.
“Well… What do you think about it, Wrath? Would you like to help me out here?” I asked because, well… I felt like the problem between us was more or less solved.
“I have a small condition,” Wrath added and I curiously wondered what that could be. Looking at me, he spoke,
“After you are done with things here, can I see that descendant of Shadow Clan?”
This made me chuckle a little, as I believe people would be terrified of the being who had killed them every minute for a whole damn month.
“Sure,” I smiled at him before looking at all four of them.
