God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains - Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Shadow VS System
Keith brought Hannah and Miya to the outside world instead of simply spending time with his daughter inside the spatial dimension.

“Mama!” the girl exclaimed as she ran to Clara.

Keith turned to look at Hannah, “You want me to send you to your father?”

“That would be great, thank you.” Hannah said and gave Keith a slight bow, only to find herself right in front of her father.

After he was done sending the girl back into his spatial dimension, Keith walked toward Miya and Clara.

“Let’s drink some soup and then we can leave.” he said and then turned to look at Amelia who was tending to the pot, “How much longer?”

“A few more minutes, have some patience…”

Keith nodded, but he suddenly felt his pinky twitch.

‘Hm?’ he looked around, but found no one. He opened up the system screens that were connected to the duke, Ken and a few more people’s who held important positions in the duke’s territory.

Keith silently read the contents on the screen, but did not find anything out of the like.

‘The only thing that I’m suspicious about, is Ken… he went back with Asher that day, but he never met this master of his. Even though he searched for her… I wonder if she found out about my system seeds.’

‘Hey system, you’ve been keeping a log of all system seeds right? Tell me if something unexpected happened in the past two months.’

[Affirmative.]

[Going through the Database.]

Just as this message popped up, Keith’s arm began to hurt. It wasn’t just his pinky twitching anymore but something far more dangerous.

“What in the hell is going on…” he muttered as he stood straight in high alert, “Clara, armor on everyone of us. Now.”

Clara wasted no time in following his command and almost instantly, all four of them had sturdy armors protecting them.

Keith’s arm pain went back to just his pinky twitching once again and a few seconds later, his system beeped, giving him an output.

‘Lost connection with the server?’ Keith asked himself as he gave the system screen a mental click.

The contents on the screen changed and showed the second prince silently sipping some wine while he gazed out of the window from his room.

A few seconds passed with nothing happening, but all of a sudden, the shadow under him moved. Like a coiling serpent, it covered Zander from head to toe before the entire screen turned black.

It was the same with the others and Keith had an idea on who it could have been, a very strong guess.

‘I wanted to use her for the war but oh well, it looks like this bitch wants to go against me now.’

Keith let out a sigh, but after a long time, he finally felt a sense of danger. Anxiety slowly rose in his heart and he quickly realised that he was going into an internal panic mode.

‘Where’s my smoking pipe…’ he thought to himself and brought it out from his spatial dimension before lighting it up with a small flame that popped out from one of his finger tips.

He took a long drag and let out a heavy exhale, “Haaaaaa, feels way better.”

“Does it now?” a sound came from right behind him, making him jump slightly as he spun around.

“…..” Keith silently looked around and then focused his attention on the three girls who were all staring at him. He couldn’t see their expressions due to the helmets covering their faces but the image of them giving him a look that said, “Is something wrong with your head?”

“Did you guys hear anything?” he asked, but all three of them shook their heads.

Amelia walked towards him as she took out her two revolvers, “What’s going on?”

“… I sense danger. Wait…” he said and turned his head to look at his shadow. ‘It can’t be right? Last time it didn’t work… what the fuck?’

His shadow moved independently.

Two holes formed at the top, imitating the eyes and a few centimeters down, a wide and creepy mouth formed.

The fingers transformed into sharp and long claws and it was the same with the legs.

From the corner of his eyes, Keith saw the same thing happening to Clara, Amelia and Miya’s shadows and he immediately sent them into his spatial dimension.

‘Not on my watch… I wanna jump into my dimension too, but I wanna clash against this bitch at least once. I’m not as weak as I was one year ago.’ he thought and jumped backwards when he saw his shadow claw at him.

To his dismay, the shadow stuck to him. Just like a normal shadow would.

“Fuck.” he cursed and ran around at full speed, only to get slashed by the claws of his own shadow.

Four deep gashes that exposed his bone were formed, but they healed almost instantly.

“LeT’s PpLayyY MoReEe!” His shadow screeched, making Keith’s ears hurt due to the high pitched scratchy voice.

“Fuck. You!” Keith cursed as he kicked, but to no avail since his foot just passed through the shadow.

With another swipe of it’s claws, it gave him four more deep gashes but this time on his shin.

Keith felt his bones getting cut but he felt a resistance, something that would only happen when a blade was dull. Just that this time, it was claws instead of sharp metal.

He instantly turned down his sensitivity, but even with that, he felt helpless.

‘An intangible creature that can attack me, but I’m unable to deal any damage….’

“Come out you fucking coward!” Keith taunted, even though he didn’t have high hopes of his enemy actually showing themselves.

He stopped running around and simply stood in place as he looked around, ‘Only a dumb person would show themselves and even in the novel, this shadow bitch was extremely crafty…’

Multiple gashes were made on him, but Keith didn’t react to them as they healed faster than the speed at which his shadow could attack.

“This whole thing is futile, you know? Just show yourself.”

Just as he said that, the shadow stopped moving. It expanded outwards, merging with the shadows of the trees and expanding them in turn too.

Keith silently watched, ready to escape to his spatial dimension at a moment’s notice.

‘Will it turn into some kind of giant monster now?’ he thought to himself as he saw the shadow expand it’s area but contrary to his expectations, the whole shadowy area began to move like it was some sort of liquid.

Similar to how waves and ripples form on water, the shadows began to show similar properties until a hand poked out from below.

Unlike Gerald’s undead zombies or skeletons, this one looked like a random human’s hand. Soon, a familiar looking human crawled out of the pool of darkness but Keith was simply just bewildered and confused.

A system screen immediately popped up with a mental command and there, he saw Ken eating his lunch at an inn. Keith then shifted his attention to the man in front of him, one who looked like an exact copy of the Ken who was in his system screen.

‘She technically did actually create Ken so I shouldn’t really be surprised if she creates more copies of him…’ he thought as he took a deep breath and for the first time, summoned one of the swords that was a part of War God’s Inheritance.

Orangish red flames shot out from the blade, turning the blade bright red as the flames slowly got hotter and hotter.

“Let’s play more, Keith. This is fun!” a cute voice came out from the mouth of the Ken clone in front of him.

“Just answer one question… how did you manage to get past the restriction? Back then, your shadows just couldn’t come near us as long as we had Clara’s armor on.” he asked.

The Ken clone in front of him didn’t speak but Keith still got an answer; An answer that came from behind him.

“Hik hik hik hik hik hikk!”

Keith rushed to his right first and then turned around, all in an attempt to keep both his enemies in his line of sight but when he saw another clone of Ken, he felt slightly annoyed.

‘That hair bull shit won’t work on me even if you send a hundred clones. Just what in the hell are you trying?’ he thought inwardly as he saw the second clone laugh in a creepy way.

“I wasn’t able to touch you because you were blessed by Seraphina.” The second Ken clone said as his body began to melt and take another shape.

Thick, sticky blobs of flesh squirmed all over the body until it finally formed the body of a petite girl. Her silvery white hair dropped down to the level of her knees and the one thing that took the most time to form, was her face.

“That girl’s awakened ability is highly connected to Seraphina, so I wasn’t able to get close to you people back then. But now… now I can! Do you know why? Come on, answer my question. Take a guess! Isn’t that how you like to play?”
