Chapter 12:Night Raid(Villain)

Morning after the respite passed by, the Shadow Regime led by Senseizio Vennchenzurl or Shadowwing. Since it's morning and after what Shadowwis and Shadowwise have relaid the information regarding the Udokotela and the civilized town of Raaisel City, Shadowwing along with Shadowbond, Shadowstep, Shadowbird, and Shadowspeed all under disguised as ordinary travelers wearing professional business-like attires with top hats that hides their eyes and a mask that covers their mouth and nose. Moving through the murmuring crowds that flooded the dusty trails of Raaisel. Overhearing about the murdered bodies of the travelers, they proceed on seeing several of the people wearing science labcoats around their protection suits. Shadowwing using his eagle eyes to highlight any important objectives, sighting the red colored targets that are the Raaisel guards armed with a bladed and equalizer patrolling through the cities conducting investigation for the mysterious killer. He also spotted the yellow highlights of the labcoat scientists that hinted they are from the Udoko Clan, the Udokotela.

After brief message from what Shadowwis mentioned, the Shadow Regime cults proceed on through the crowds, hearing some wild screaming of few crowds having to hear their love ones died in the convoy traveling. They entered into a public gathering inside a building, seeing largely a clan identified as the Oboro Clan hinting a tiger tattooed with the word Oboro on it. Even they paid attention to the details seeing the scratched marks all over the inside interior of the building. The building isn't much packed but have a medium size of over 68-70 members of the Oboro Clan members wearing sparse leather attires with helmets and double goggles. Being stealthy Shadowwing and his small crew already used their hidden aether tinnibulators to cloak themselves in shadows as they overwatched the conversation by the leader of the Oboro Clan...

"Today we plan on taking down the Udokotelas, the Udoko Clan lead by the person callin' Ydralia Navid the leader behind all these goolgly science projects. They are located within their wealthy-ass incorperation along with their smart sciency friends. I learned that they practiced various evolution controls upon creatures and plants. We have explosives from the storage in the right of this place, we gonna blow up their headquarters whahaha!" The Oboro Leader announced.

The whole clan cheered as they chanted loudly worshiping the Oboro Clan. Given the opportunity, Shadowwing and his members still cloaking undetected they head to the storage room where the charges are stored in. Spotted 2 of the guards positioned to stand guard, Shadowwing rushed in swiftly and silently bashing them out cold with a hard banged with his left shadow gauntlet to the head. Shadowbond, Shadowstep, Shadowbird, and Shadowspeed all swooshed in quick and quietly grabbing the explosives. They went for only one charge along with one fuel, leaving the rest all neatly stored. Altogether they made their way to the boiler room that supplied power to the building and set up the charge as well dousing the whole area in fuel. Shadowbond dropped an inactive mine on top of the set charge and altogether Shadowwing and his cults head all the way out of the building just as the Oboro Clan partied wildly with laughters.

They then moved to a secluded space and uncloaked before moving to a nearby pharmacy shop. Seeing a female feichong on duty, Shadowwing, Shadowbond, Shadowstep, Shadowbird, and Shadowspeed all walked up to the cashier. The feichong turned to face the ordinary looking travelers with a warm facial expression with the low metal humming...

"Oh ho ho good day gentlemen how may I be of service to you all folks?" The female feichong asked.

Shadowwing turned looking at Shadowbond then to Shadowstep. They wondered blankly for a bit, not wanting to verbally communicate. Shadowwing swiftly remembered about Shadowwis handing him the letter containing all the written formula on it. He pulled it out from his professional attire outfit and gave it to the feichong.

"Huh...? What's this?" The feichong took her time analyzing the letter, curiously unfolding the paper and read the written requests:

1) 10 Inner Demon
2 10 Fog of War
3)Friend to Foe
4)50 recovery balms.

The feichong nodded and looked up back at the customers with a smile...

"Ahhhh I see we have plenty of made concoctions freshly made that just got delivered by the Udokotela. I will get all that for you." The feichong said. She took her time gathering all the concoctions. Shadowwing while waiting closed his eyes and cycles around his shadowy mental thoughts regarding the Udoko Clan. He can barely sensed outside of the town they are embarking out during the daylight on an expeditionary convoy to view various life matters. A lull passed later the feichong merchant returned with the items...

"Here you go good sirs, that'll be 3,850 augs total." She said.

Shadowwing placed down 30 bars of rare dark-purple amethyst gems that caught the widening eyes of the female feichong employee...

"Wow no way! These are legendary rare artifacts! These crystals are very difficult to be found within this indigenous life on Ayaziwa. Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh, these gems worth more than just trillions of augs maybe enough for me to quit my job and live in Aeneam in a bigger house! Oh my gosh! Is there anything else I could do for you people?!" She responded with an exciting smile all gleefully.

Shadowwing turned to face his comrades all curious and confused looking before turning to see the happily trances feichong. Then he noticed one of the serum pots labeled with the producer Udokotela Co.

Shadowwing pointed precisely to the producer of the concoction on the glass bottles, wanting to know more about the Udoko Clan.

"Huh oh oh the Udokotelas, ahh yes them. They are the groups of people that studied evo controls practicing various genetic experimentations on Ayaziwa's wildlife. They are located somewhere up north to west. They are very known for trying to bring the Ayaziwans nature together. The leader of the Udoko Clan is Ydralia Navid. They set out expeditions early mornings to collect dew samples from plants. I've recieved reports from the travelers that there were many dead bodies found throughout the fields about 190 meters north from this city. The Udokos sent out their personal security services to investigate on the matter. Even bringing the dead to perform forensic and autopsy on the bodies trying to get to the bottom of the murder mystery. Honestly that's all I know about the Udokotela. But I heavy bid you a good day and a thank you for the payment. Here take this too for free!" The feichong said.

She handed over a large protected pot of dark-purple raw liquid material. Shadowwing accepted it as he took his merchandise and passed them both to Shadowstep. Shadowwing shook hands with the employee before exiting the pharmacy. Seeing the guards patrolling around, some communicating to the scared travelers assuring them of safety, Shadowwing and his members moved back to the building cloaking themselves invisibility from the shadow secluded area as they meet back with the Oboro Clan where they are arming themselves with heavy high-tech weapons in the gathering hall area. Soon with flammable substances and charges, Shadowwing pulled out 2 of the Inner Demon concoctions and tossed it in the middle where the leaders and about 47 members are densely gathered close. Same moment prior to the concoctions being hurled at them as they successfully hit the floor near them exploding into vast smogs, Shadowwing and his members fled the place. Heading over to the shading alley 40 meters far from the place as Shadowbond wait for the moment for the Oboro gangs to act berserk.

Soon several of the gangs including the leader became blunt as they head out to the crowds and violently committed carnage unleashing their weapons on the innocence. Hearing loud popping noises along with screaming of people, Shadowbond set off the explosion, blowing up the boiler room of the place as the fires rapidly spread out aggressively- seeping into the room where all the rest of the Oboro members raged out as it hit the rest of the explosions in there, causing more explosions that engulfed the whole building in flames eliminating the rest of the Oboro Clan members inside as the fires raged out of control. More of the travelers ran in fear as they screamed out...

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"Where that explosion came from?!"

"What is going on here?!"

Several of the citizens fled the city as the city guards dealt with the Oboro Clan leaders and some of his members in a clash as the Udokotela retreated back to their company. Shadowwing and his members cloaked as they head out the other side of the city evading the city guards as it drew more of them to the heated scene as the Oboro Clan leader raged aggressively upon the guards.

Shadowwing putting on his dark-purple cloth around his closed eyes blindfolded in sight and perception as he can use his mentality to see his way as he moves undetected through the clearings despite several screaming and panicking crowds. Some of the guards trying to calm them down as they immediately hopped on their mounts and escape Raaisel. Shadowwing using his mental psychoanalysis contacting to Shadowwis through psynurochronocation. Back in the depth of the command center of the Shadow Regime hideout, Shadowwis felt a slight chilling pressure throb to his temple area and realized that spiritual message is from Shadowwing. They resonate by mentality through a alternate dark-shadowy purple aura dimension. Meeting face-to-face there using their soul to maintain their activities as they communicated using hand languages. Shadowwing conveying a message saying that he calls for another distraction to coerce the majority of the guards to another location, reducing the heat upon possible threats of being noticed using such devices to scope out stealthy assassins. Shadowwis nodded wising his eyes as he then vanished out from mental resonating. Shadowwis then resonated with Shadowlance telling him to stir up a conversion for Shadowwing's favor. Over to Shadowlance side after receiving the mental message from Shadowwis. Already cloaking in a shadowy aesthetic translucent figure on the rooftop of a fairly tall building, armed with a dark-purple pinkish colored standard radiant lance. He positioned his ranged weapon upon a minor size building across from him and unleashed a devastating shadowy dark-purple instant beam that strike fast speed of light straight to the building, it hit the building resulting a radiant glowing shadowy light before exploding away as the building crumbling down into fiery smokes and debris. Killing the people inside as it let out 3 more explosions. Shadowlance faded away back to the hideout from the scene undetected.

The loud booming noises of the radiant explosion as the destroyed ruined building continue to burn attracted major amount of Raaisel guards to the area, buying more time for Shadowwing and his allies to quickly dart to the Udokotela. Moving over 80 meters at fast pace later, they spotted about 7 members of the Udoko Clan overwatching around the block at the large smoking-burning building as they saw the guards trying to put out the fire using their contraptions and their windups. Hearing their rampage demands and such.

Shadowwing, Shadowbond, Shadowstep, Shadowbird, and Shadowspeed all remained cloaking through the entire duration of the period took action as they stealthily wrapped their arms around them, covering their mouths as they gagged and uttered a muffled voice before they are dispatched dead with a twist to their heads, breaking their skulls dislocated. They dragged the corpse to the darker corners of a building and disrobed their attires. Wearing the scientist-looking attires as they groomed up their facials to make themselves looked more sciency. Once they are well in disguised, they uncloaked and immediately made their way to the Udokotela Company.

After 60 meters later going through majority of the guards that are busy dealing with the situation as they along with the windups almost put out the fire and have taken care of the Oboro Clan members wrecking up chaos, Shadowwing and his clans entered into the Udokotela Company after examining the whole exterior of the building. Passing into the lobby they head up to the register area seeing a tishli secretary...

"Huh ohhh you've all have returned! Great! The meeting room is just that way to your left." The tishli secretary said.

Shadowwing,Shadowbond, Shadowstep, Shadowbird, and Shadowspeed all nodded under their disguised and made their way into the Udokotela Company. Heading into the long hallway they observed around as they walked. Shadowbond seeing the large laboratory area the Udoko scientists testing different species in there along with plants in that experimentation room. Shadowbird saw large amount of concoctions and chemicals in the biology room. Shadowspeed saw several Udoko Clan walking by on the other side, some chattering and loitering around the balcony. Shadowwing saw the meeting room as they all arrived and headed inside. Meeting the rest of the Udoko Clan members as the head of the company greeted them...

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, pleasure meeting you all here. Welcome back. Please sit down you guys."

Shadowwing and his folks sat down meeting Ydralia Navid the head of the Udokotela of the Udoko Clan...

"Alright so far we have successfully tested the serums and the evolution control to the west and east side of this land of Ayaziwa. We even have examined over 100 different kinds of plant matters and species. However, however we have received reports that about 50 of our employees were murdered during the mysterious night yesterday. At one of the jungles. We have tested the bodies along with other bodies found throughout Ayaziwa, so far that we have found no solid evidence of who may have done it. We have unsuccessfully found no link to the killer or killers, or we have not located where they live. It is a failed procedure unfortunately. However we have sent over 10 of our best members out to continue to search for the killers. They will leave around nighttime when it's dark. Assuming they strike at nighttime. These intelligent known convoys have heat-seeking goggles that should be able to spotlight any invisible entities including their hideout that can't be seen..."

Shadowwing eyes slightly widened as he heard what Ydralia Navid just said as he continued...

"So we will eventually find those killers and bring them to justice and get to the bottom of the mysterious murder and get Raaisel under control. That is all I have to say." Ydralia Navid said.

"Uhm excuse me, Ydralia Navid I'm new so who are these most intelligent 10 of our best members?" One of the Udoko Clan member spoke, raising his hand. 

"Ahh yes our elite promoted members of the Udokotelas: Yuunako, Telbracck, Bugonko, Resdeath, Veroack, Maobuu, Dundarendae, Lazak, Gojikkogo, and Hangaru. They are all going to be heading out to lunch right now and of course dinner before heading out on their adventure." Ydralia Navid said.

The Udoko members nodded as they all left including Shadowwing, Shadowbond, Shadowstep, Shadowbird, and Shadowspeed. They immediately head to more of a secluded hallway, Shadowwing and Shadowbond both activated their eagle eyes. Their eyes glowing dark-purple as Shadowstep, Shadowbird, and Shadowspeed maintain lookout as they wall-hugged.

Shadowwing and Shadowbond both can see through the walls and the whole area that there are several red indicated figures- the Udoko Clan members. From the room on the other side 50 meters ahead of them they spotted yellow materials what looked like explosives and flammable substances. Shadowwing and Shadowbond turned off their eagle eyes and altogether they proceed forward to that room. Passing several Udoko Clan members as they busy doing something. They reached the room without trouble as Shadowstep opened the door. They sighted all the explosives and flammable materials and gathered them all. They then made their way on over to the biology room where it's filled with made serums and concoctions. Inside as they entered, Shadowbond set one of the charges hidden buy near all the chemicals. They moved through the building deciding to cloak themselves invisible, they plant charges and layered flammable materials through the building that can cause a serious chain reaction. Shadowwing cloaking he head into the experimentation room where he spotted a male human analyzing some complicated work. Shadowwing stealthily dispatched him unconscious before setting up a charge and placing the flammable substance around. Shadowstep made his way over to Ydralia Navid's office and placed a charge under his desk before leaving.

After all charges are set, Shadowbond placed set another timed charge for a minute before leaving in the power room. They all immediately head out of the Udokotela Company and disappeared back to the hideout immediately. At arrival of the cavern later, Shadowwing and his members head back to the gathering hall area meeting the rest of the Shadow Regime that are all on an altar praising some shadowy demon by the looks of the dark-purple winged demonic statue at the front.

Back at Raaisel City, the Udokotela Company building completely exploded apart followed by more explosions up to 15 times as fires sparked outwards enough to cause another collateral damage to 7 other buildings as small spark of fires littered the area. Several of the civilians fled in panic as they began to find the city all dangerous to live with random sudden explosions. Many of the guards immediately head to the area as majority of the populace all stressed and questioned about who are the strange terrorists. Even several guards unfairly arrested wrong civilians as few were shot to death for wrong convictions.

The Udokotelas were no more but as some who are within Raaisel mourned the death of Ydralia Navid, crying as the remaining are still currently out exploring. Large of the populace already leaving the town due to how suddenly unsafe it is.

Back at the Shadow Regime hidden base, Shadowwing and his elites all practiced shadow basking as they allow the will 'o wisp of darkened-purple clouds loomed over them washing their entire bodies. As they drenched in the mist while meditating peacefully and silently. Shadowwing seeing several haunting ghouls and entities coming right for him as he entered into some strange wormhole to another dimension. Facing the former dead of the fallen Focregat Empires as it all entered through Shadowwing's soul. He took the toll as the screaming vivid ghosts of the remains of the Focregat Empire members entered into Shadowwing's entity, trying to repossess him as he stood there with his eyes closed and remaining clam and motionless. Over 800,000 of the fallen Focregat Empire ghosts have entered into Shadowwing's body as he remained there.

He felt it trying to repossess him, but failed as he absorbed all of their beings without much effort. His silent ideology is very strong as he sensed the understand of the civil war that torn apart Ayaziwa. Shadowwing remembered the moments millennia ago that the touzulei research explorers ventured out to the land to conduct mutation experience and gathered examples. The genetic diversity resulted that humans, baihus, and zhuques are different from other country's counterparts.

A lull of meditation, spiritual condition, and sightseeing later Shadowwing held a meeting in the room. Making several body motions and hand signs non-verbally communicating that him, Shadowbond, Shadowstep, Shadowspeed and Shadowbird all eliminated the majority of the Udoko Clan members along with its leader, Ydralia Navid. Shadowwing also explained that with his continuous hand motioning that the Oboro Clan was no more as the rapid chaotic stirred Raaisel up badly, shaken the population forcing them to move out of the sedimentary.

Shadowbond nodded along with Shadowbird, Shadowspeed, and Shadowstep. 

Shadowstrike raised his hands and made several hand sign languages regarding anybody plotting to track the Shadow Regime down.

Shadoww eyes widens a bit as he raised his hand too and performed a single hand sign about that he feared they would go after the cults.

Several of the regimes turned to looked at one another as they expressed fear of exposure. Few made their hand signs to Shadowwing.

Shadowwing reassured calmly saying that they won't find the base easily, the only group plotting to find the hideout are the elite promoted members of the remaining Udoko Clan members. Majority are the innocent traveling bystanders that aren't advancely geared to search out for the hideout. Shadowwing also stated continuing his body motioning that if you all are afraid and feared, altogether that we must stir more conversions and distractions as we have bought extra concoctions from the pharmacy back at Raaisel from the feichong that admired purple amethyst gems.

Shadoww, Shadowknight, Shadowbeckon, Shadowbeacon, and Shadowcreed all nodded with their eyes smiling. They gave their okay gestures finding it amusing.

Shadowbond and Shadowbird agreed nodding their heads as they gestured their hands around saying that the feichong wants to moved out and quit her job moving to Aeneam for a better living and a mansion over there.

Shadowload motioned that Aeneam are better than Ayaziwa despite the historical past of the Forcregat Empire have fought each other here in Ayaziwa.

Shadowwing paid attention to the elites gesturing, making body movements, and such as he cracked his knuckles and felt relived enjoying the non-verbal conversation.

Shadowknight practicing his hand languages saying that some of Aeneam do travel across the sea to Ayaziwa, not to mention that. Including Zahnrad. He also motioned that even Zhengqi could send better high-technologies to Ayaziwa, what about that?

Shadoww shook his head in disagreement to Shadowknight's words. Then replied with his hand signs that it would be waste of their time support Ayaziwa with other wars possibly be going on. Waste of money and time.

Shadowflow chimed in that there are other enemies out there that could hindered the allies in place. Regardless we will fight them all stealthily.

Shadowbond, Shadowrealm, Shadowstrike, and Shadowshine all nodded and raised their hands at them slightly waving. Then gestures around saying that nobody should worry, as long as they are eliminated threats will be contained. Eliminating every witnesses matters to keeping things a secret.

Shadowwing clapped his hands several times to get every of the Shadow Regime cultist to pay attention to him as he ushered calm with his palms of his hand out to his warriors. They all faced Shadowwing as they relieved themselves of their body motion, relaxing a bit as Shadowwing continued his non-verbal speech.

Clapping his hands twice before making several body languages along with several snaps of his fingers, saying that ten selected of our forces shall join out to confront the ten leading Udoko Clans. Simple as usual stealthily eliminate them without being detected as possible. He motioned that if we are caught being stealthily, slay them before they alerted officials. Goals are to maintain in discreet manners and punished all populists including the wealthy.

Shadoww nodded and replied with an okay gesture.

Shadowbond folded his arms with an agreeing nod. 

Shadowwis and Shadowwise both emerged from the darkness shadows coming into the scene near Shadowwing as they have report to deliver holding a fine dark-purple letter.

Shadowwing stepped 3 meters back letting Shadowwis and Shadowwise take the stand among the cultists.

Shadowwis and Shadowwise both in unison gestured and made several hand languages saying that majority of the developed concoction will allow us to strongly gain more followers of our legions. These typical made potions either thrown will convert majority of the innocent-minded citizens to us permanently. Shadowwis and Shadowwise both continued their body motioning translating they have developed unique simuloid standard turngears known as the Shadow Phantom. Built with high amount spiritual shadows these robotic can effectively cloak invisibly or function as a decoy using them from a far distance and active the silhouette shade trigger allowing it to turn pitch black giving it a creepy impression that someone is there watching over the travelers. Distracting a being thinking it's a creeper or a stalking predator. The simuloid robotics are armed with radiant lance materials along with a built in self-destruct mechanic that explodes when need-be. Lastly to say these turngears can be summoned at will within the shadows, very useful at nighttime. That's all to say.

Shadowbond gave a friendly thumbs up to that effort as the rest of the Shadow Regime all applauded and raised their arms up high to cheer at that. Shadowwing smiled under the mask covering his mouth and nose.

Shadowwis and Shadowwise both nodded and gave a formal bow as they left to the shadowwy darkness and vanished away.

Shadowwing then concluded the meeting with a bow swiped his hands signalling that everyone can leave.

Throughout the day, Shadowwing and the Shadow Regimes trained in the deepest part of the cavern in the darkest pit of the shadowy abyss. Ranging from equalizer practicing to melee as they can see through the darkness. They kept on training as Shadowwis and Shadowwise tested out the Shadow Phantom simuloid turngears, tweaking up certain parts of their bodies before producing more copies of them.

Later once it's nighttime as the moon rose up and glaring. Wolves howling from distance, the remaining of the Udoko Clan members along with the 10 elite members of the clan set fourth their nighttime expedition. Venturing out from the near-ghost town of Raaisel City. Already out on the fields riding the muscular like tiger mounts they began to investigate through the vast fields of Ayaziwa for the shadow killers that have threatened Raaisel. Seeking revenge for the destruction of the Udokotela.

Meanwhile back at the hidden cavern of the Shadow Regime base, in the shadow-cloudy military department hall, Shadowwing commencing the non-verbal operation known as raid notturno or night raid. With the 6 of the commanding officers: Shadowadye, Shadowadale, Shadowastorm, Shadowastride, Shadowastream, and Shadowapuff along with the raised army of shadowsoldiers, shadowmarines, and shadowmarauders- Shadowwing raised out his hand signalling the commence operation. The entire regimes head out at once to stealthily eliminate and track down many of possible witnesses.

Heading out to the darkened fields of Ayaziwa, Shadowwing along with 9 other members with him to confront the elite Udokotelas: Shadowstep, Shadowbond, Shadowbird, Shadowspeed, Shadowkeen, Shadownocturnal, Shadowleap, Shadowstealth, and Shadowstrike all dashed through the plains. Leaping trees to trees like a ninja, entering through the shady depths of the jungle cutting through various brushes with their blades.

Shadowwing and his 9 followers all activated their eagle eyes making their eyes glow dark-purple. Highlighting their point of view and perspective they sighted over 500 meters through the terrain the key featured indicated yellow objectives are the advancing Udokotela's elites. Scouting out the terrain as their mounts sniffs out for the killers- hunting down clues of their whereabouts.

They shut off their eagle eyes and kept darting forward out of the brush onto the sandy dunes. After a while of swift running, they leap up high and activated their improvised jet-pack wing gliders soaring through the daunting nightlight sky. They began to activate their cloak going invisible as they fly through the dark skies toward their targets.

While the stealthy Shadow Regime armies split up and already began assassinating numerous of travelers. Ranging from melee to equalizers to traps. 

Shadowwis and Shadowwise continued plotting more environmental traps along the way while using their eagle eyes to detect any enemies, aligning the traps to meet their demise.

The Shadow Regime commanders along with their armies successfully assassinated over 150 of the independent traveling convoys. Even 80 additional were Zahnrad military convoys. 150 of the shadowsoldiers alone took out 7 camps burning the whole place to nothing. Followed by each of 300 of the shadowmarauders alone took out 50 of the traveling convoys as they fell for the haunting Shadow Phantoms that were used as a silhouette decoy. Then over 750 of the Shadow Phantoms easily wiping over 15,750 plus 150 guards that have been fleeing Raaisel City with the used of radiant lances.

Shadoww, Shadowkahn, Shadowuse, Shadowbright, Shadowlight, Shadownon, Shadowsword, Shadowviral, Shadowtemple, Shadowblight, Shadowflow, Shadowquiet, Shadowzap, Shadowspray, Shadowmark, and Shadowsignal all eliminated over 800,000 of the guards investigating the murders.

Then over 900,000 of the shadowmarines alone with 500 Shadow Phantom simuloid turngears cleaned out the fields dragging every bodies into the darkened jungle. As the rest of the Shadow Regime forces contacted each other through shadow mental communication, signaling using their souls to rally the dead to the jungle. Spraying large quantities of mysterious dark-purple pinkish clouds of fog throughout the Ayaziwa fields obscuring the perception.

They kept up the silent rampage murders as 700 more of the traveling convoys were assassinated without warning nor noticed. As random explosions rocked the fields and through the oasis thanks to Shadowwis and Shadowwise.

Back to Shadowwing and his elite members with him, they finally spotted the traveling elites of the Udoko Clan members. Seeing their large numerous scales of the Udoko mooks with them altogether in a single large convoy hunt, Shadowwing gestured to his comrades to began their stealthy tactics. They nodded in response.

Shadowwing wising his eyes closely and keen on the darkest shadowy spot, he mentally summoned 3 Shadow Phantoms from any shady sources 10 meters apart from the traveling convoys. To Shadowwing's perspective they are moving east at 15 meters with the 10 members on mounts. Shadowwing snapped his fingers to trigger multiple explosions due to the built in self-destruction. It caught the Udoko Clan's attention as they shifted their movements to going up north same directional path that Shadowwing and his comrades are flying parallel.

Shadowwing then conjured about 20 total more of the Shadow Phantoms, 2 scattered through the fields about 12 meters from them cloaking invisibly. Shadowbond and the rest kept eyes on the ongoing Udokotelas as Shadowwing snapped his finger again triggering all 20 Shadow Phantoms to self-destruct. It caught their attention again as it stirs confusion among them...

"Where all the explosions coming from?"Maobuu wondered.

"Don't know these random occurrence are now starting to scare the hell out of me." Veroack  answered.

"I think these strange fanatical murderers wants us to mislead us all to fall into their traps." Yuunako said.

They then witnessed another multiple explosions from the distance around them again.

"Dammit I think they are trying to bomb us!" Veroack said, staring at the smoke rising from the jungle.

"Well they aren't doing a good job killing us directly that's for sure." Hangaru said.

"We should split up, there could be more than one of these murderers. Yuunako, Telbracck, Bugonko you three search up north to the jungles and the valleys. Veroack and Maobuu head west. Dundarendae and Lazak go east through the streams and search the eastern jungle wilderness over there. Gojikkogo and Hangaru head south to the vast plains." Resdeath said.

"Won't that be dangerous, looks like that's what they want us to do. Suicidal of you, General Resdeath." Hangaru said.

"Just do it, all of you! That's an order!" Resdeath replied.

"Blah alright, General. Come on men let's move out!"Gojikkogo said.

The Udoko Clan all split up apart heading different routes as Shadowwing and his comrades foresaw this. Shadowwing motioned out to his followers to split up and stalk on each of the elite Udoko Clan members while flying stealthily from the air. All deciding to cloak invisibly they kept watch over them like an eagle on its prey.

Shadowwing following Resdeath as she seems to be heading back to Raaisel City. He summoned 7 of the Shadow Phantoms from the darkness 6 meters of them stealthily. They began to unleash their radiant lances upon Resdeath specifically targeting her mooks...

"Gahhhhhhhhh!"

"ASHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" 

"Ow ow! Ow! AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Majority are taken out as Resdeath paused to looked where the blasters coming from...

"What the where all the- it's them!" Resdeath said. She shifted her mount around armed with a radiant lance as well she also pulled out her aether tinnabulator to shine out lights revealing the attacking simuloid turngears dark-purple colors...

"Attack them! They are trying to ambush us!"

Resdeath along with remaining of her soldiers all retaliated against the Shadow Phantoms, firing their weapons. The turngears sustained minor damage in response. Shadowwing summoned more to attack from behind them, killing off the rest of Resdeath's soldiers as she mortally damaged 7 of them...

"D-dammit!" 

Resdeath immediately dashed off on her mount to dodge all the radiant lance fire. Shadowwing triggered the self-destruct system using his hand signs, resulting in multiple explosions. He then proceed to manipulate Resdeath's movements by constantly summoning Shadow Phantoms about 8 meters prior to her traveling movements as he set it off to derail her off course making her go different direction. Veering away from the city as Shadowwing even spawned 10 from Raaisel only to cause extra effect with the explosions to keep Resdeath from going back there. He kept pursuing after her from high in the air.

Shadowstep stalking over Yuunako the male human, Shadowstep mentally contacted Shadowwis and Shadowwise to travel over 58 meters ahead prior Yuunako's direction of traveling. Telling to dig up small ditches and plant traps for them to stumble upon. To Shadowwis and Shadowwise they nodded after the results of the area being burnt down now in black smokes and burning stenches. They fly up into the sky and travel rapidly by air before landing down away from one of the Udoko convoys. The two pulled out their sand shapers, dug up a considerable amount of sand before layered it with explosive traps before burying it. Shadowwis and Shadowwise both head back high in the sky cloaking invisibly. Shadowstep spying on Yuunako as he nears the set traps, he dropped 4 improvised densed smokescreen contraption on the convoy. Bursting into large amount of random dark-purple clouds that fogged their path, obscuring their visions as the mooks screamed in fear and losing morality including Yuunako who have split up from his men...

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" 

"I CAN'T SEE! WHAT IS UP WITH THIS FOG!"

"Where did this purple creepy smoke coming from!"

"I don't know where I am going!"

Yuunako stopped to turn as he is trapped within the surrounding clouds looming all over the area...

"Crap! I'm lost where did all this shadow-looking creepy smog came from?! How can something like this just point blank appeared out of nowhere?!" 

Then several of random sudden explosions were heard as Yuunako's men screamed before being blown into bits. Then more multiple explosions happened as it eliminated all of Yuunako's men. He stressed out as seeing blood seeping through the clouds. Yuunako kept moving on heading up north trying to escape the clouds. Shadowstep threw down 6 hurled explosives within the clouds, derailing Yuunako making him move left as he dodged from random explosions...

"What is going on here?! Who is targeting me?!" 

He looked around seeing nobody going after him as he kept dashing faster on his mount.

 Shadowbond on Telbracck the male baihu. Shadowbond armed with a silenced equalizer loaded with Inner Demon combined with Fog of War serums. Aimed upon the mooks of Telbracck's he fired over 15 shots before reloading. Being struck from point blank 15 of the mooks began to go insane as they fought other mooks, stirring unrest as Telbracck paused in place to see his own forces fighting each other randomly...

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr what is going on?! Stop fighting! I said stop!" 

Shadowbond fired few more rounds as more of the Udoko soldiers fell victim to the serum and increase the drama. Some affected even targeted Telbracck...

"Grrrrrrrrrrr you pathetic soldiers I wasn't expecting you be traitors to the clan!" Telbracck said, dodging around. He countered elbow-punched his own men as he ripped them all aggressively with his own claws. Killing them all. Shadowbond summoned a Shadow Phantom using strong odor that gave out a fishy smell using it to manipulate Telbracck's sense of smell. He sniffed the unusual scent from  afar following the scent immediately as Shadowbond guided that member, shifting his traveling direction away.

Shadowbird against Bugonko, Shadowbird tossed 7 concoctions upon the soldiers as they got caught in the exploding substance gas. Resulting in heavy aggressive coughing and wheezing. Followed by serious vomiting as they began suffering heavy nosebleeds. Anguish in agony the soldiers screamed out as they questioned how all this happened as they kept vomiting badly until they all fell dead in grotesque. Bugonko was too oblivious and just went ahead.

Shadowspeed, Shadowkeen, Shadownocturnal, Shadowleap, Shadowstealth, and Shadowstrike on Veroack, Maobuu, Dundarendae, Lazak, Gojikkogo, and Hangaru. They instantly eradicated all their soldiers as they derailed the rest of the Udoko Clan members with ongoing random explosions making them go different directions.

Shadowwing and his comrades kept up the game until they force-reunited the elites altogether as they somehow questioned all the strange random events...

"What the hell?!" Hangaru questioned.

"Can anybody questioned me where all these sudden attacks coming from?! These strange murderers are really pissing me off!" Yuunako said, angrily.

"I can't even smell that odor, so I don't know what is going on!" Telbracck said, grunting in frustration.

"Could Ayaziwa be cursed!?"Dundarendae questioned.

"Nonsense heheheh Ayaziwa isn't cursed, no way this could all be happening out by nature. Someone has to be around plotting this mysterious traps and such!" Gojikkogo said.

"I can't sense any source of metals being used as very little evidence are found but not proven." Veroack said.

Then swiftly Maobuu despite the groups chattering regarding the unusual strange random occurrence going on saw 10 strange wisps of shadowy dark-clouding translucent silhouette figures 6 meters in front of them standing there...

"Guys! What is those looking things ahead of us!" Maobuu said, pointing.

"Wh-where whoa AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It's the ghosts!" Gojikkogo exclaimed in fear.

Telbracck and Hangaru both can sniff their odor giving them the glimpse of blood and vengeance. Realizing it's legitimately them. They both gave out their vicious growl as they spoke in Baiwen taunting the shadowy entities.

"What is going on, what is going on here?!Are they real beings or what?"  Dundarendae wondered.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr no! It's them! It have to be those people I can smell their blood-covered hands and their scent of steel for bloodlust!" Telbracck said.

"I can smell it too!" Hangaru added.

"For strange reason I can feel a chilling presence that it's those assassins." Maobuu said.

Resdeath made a face as she confidentially approached forward couple meters to confront the shadowy entities that aren't moving with her saber bladed out pointing at them all...

"Alright you beings come out of the shadows and face us bravely, don't be a cowards you dolts!" Resdeath called out.

 Yuunako walked aside with Resdeath with his great axe out...

"Come out come out, you pesky assassins. You can run but you can't hide forever!"

The 10 figures uncloaked themselves to reveal themselves, the Shadow Regime: Shadowwing, Shadowstep, Shadowbond, Shadowbird, Shadowspeed, Shadowkeen, Shadownocturnal, Shadowleap, Shadowstealth, and Shadowstrike.

They all pointed their fingers at them to intimidate them. Their reactions are aggressive...

"So you were all responsible for the entire destruction I assumed- the death of our leader of the Udoko Clan, the chaotic destruction of Raaisel City, and the mysterious murders of all the convoys in the plains of Ayaziwa. You were all behind this sudden acts." Resdeath said.

Shadowwing moved a meter forward to Resdeath and nodded. He then made several hand signs that they didn't understood what he is saying.

"What are you doing? Flapping your hands around like that, can't you speak criminals?!" Telbracck said, growling.

Shadowwing kept making more hand signs. Resdeath decided to order every of the clan to attack...

"Enough of this, everyone attack and slay these assassins!" Resdeath said.

They charged at them with their bladed melee weapons. Shadowwing and the rest armed with standard bladed melee weapons all charged into series of clashes 10 on 10 fair battle. They kept on clashing as they leaped back and kept fighting on and on as either side dodged aside.

Shadowwing fought against Resdeath as she used the aether tinnabulator but Shadowwing demolished it as Resdeath dodged back 3 meters. She fired her radiant lance successfully hit Shadowwing as he got shot. He faded away into shadows realizing it was an afterimage, as he appeared next to Resdeath and try to slash her. She immediately leaped back as her radiant lance is destroyed, then using her bladed melee, both Shadowwing and Resdeath clashed hard back and fourth.

Altogether they all clashed, Yuunako and Gojikkogo successfully cleaved through against Shadowstep and  Shadowbond as they were an afterimage. Appearing from behind they strike, but were blocked as they noticed and kept on clashing. Dundarendae the tishli easily got her weapon knocked aside and is knocked out hard by Shadowkeen.

Telbracck and Hangaru roared as they fought hard against Shadowbird, Shadowspeed, andShadownocturnal. Both baihus slashed them as they faded away but were afterimage as they attacked from behind but failed as they clawed them hard, but still afterimage rinse and repeat.

As the fighting rages on, Shadowwing after 3 hours of fighting conjured 4 Shadow Phantoms 5 meters around the scene. Firing radiant lances to distract the Udoko Clans, wounding Gojikkogo,Yuunako, and Veroack...

"Yooooow!"

"Ow ow! Ow! Owww hoo hooo!"

Shadowwing spawned 6 more of the Shadow Phantoms in the crossfire, making few of the Udokos turned to see the simuloids. Quickly Shadowwing self-destructed all of the Shadow Phantoms stirring enough explosions that wounded mortally Bugonko, Maobuu, Lazak, andHangaru. But killedTelbracck and Yuunako.

Shaken up the rest of the other clans except for Shadowwing and Resdeath keeping up the heat, Shadowstep, Shadowbond, Shadowbird, Shadowspeed, Shadowkeen, Shadownocturnal, Shadowleap, Shadowstealth, and Shadowstrike all took out the rest of the elite Udoko Clan in swift professional assassination.

Resdeath growling angrily as she kept swinging her blade at Shadowwing as he blocks each of her swings. Shadowwing dodges but fails as Resdeath cleaves through his body in half. Again afterimage as Shadowwing quickly appeared at her blindspot and backstabbed her dead fatally with a poison dagger. Her officer hat fell off as she gave out a staggering gasp, coughing up blood from her mouth. Saying nothing she slowly began to die as Shadowwing let her lifeless body fell to the ground.

Lull after the clash later they successfully eliminated the Udoko Clan just as the rest of the Shadow Regime murdered majority of the onlookers and witnesses. Shadowwing and his elites burned every of the dead bodies before returning back to their hideout. Soon everyone retreated back to the hideout as soon Shadowwing mentally conveyed the message that the operation is over.

Shadowwing in the military hall gesturing to his forces all for their accomplishments. Saying that the incursione notturna or night raid operation have done well. He then stepped back letting Shadowwis and Shadowwise both take the floor as the cultist clapped their hands. Shadowwis gestured them to pay attention as Shadowwise opened up the envelope and read the letter using his single hand sign language to translate. Saying that there are no trace of witness, the jungles were lit on flames erasing every ounces of nature along with the dead. Raaisel will never understood who is behind all the murdering of the travelers that choose to venture through the fields. And forever the land of Ayaziwa will remain haunted by many of the traveler's perception. That's all to say.

Shadowwise then nodded before making hand motions saying that several of the travelers fled Ayaziwa by boats thinking the whole land are cursed.

Shadoww, Shadowkahn, Shadowkeen, Shadoweye, Shadowknight, Shadownight, Shadowsonic, Shadowstrike, Shadownon, Shadowsword, Shadowviral, Shadowgate, Shadowparasyte, and Shadowflex all nodded.

They all applauded as Shadowwing bowed and concluded the meeting as he yawned while leaving. The rest of the Shadow Regime cultist head to the spiritual chamber to meditate as they head off to sleep that way, ending the chapter...

To be continued....
