Arcane Drifters – Chapter 99: "Shen Karguro – The Storm That Stands Alone"
The sky above the ruined city of Nargaleon was blood-red.
Mountains had crumbled.
Rivers had turned black.
Thousands of Arcane beasts and over a hundred Arcane Generals surrounded one single man.
No army behind him.
No backup.
No mercy.
Just Shen Karguro, standing on a cracked platform, holding his twin blades — breath steady, coat torn, eyes glowing dark blue.
> "You all came for me?"
"How sweet."
The ground exploded behind him as three Arcane Generals lunged in at once.
Shen didn't blink.
CLANG! SLASH! BOOM!
Three down.
---
Above him, General AR-2, a monstrous serpent with obsidian wings, circled the sky.
> "You're strong, human. But not immortal."
Shen grinned.
> "Close enough."
---
He spun into the crowd like a storm of blades.
Left blade sliced through a general's shield.
Right blade blocked a death beam.
Then he vanished—teleporting into the sky—and slammed his foot down with explosive force.
"FALLING BLADE DROP!!"
Dozens of Arcane warriors were flattened.
Still… more came.
---
Shen stood tall. Blood dripping from his mouth.
He was tired.
But he refused to fall.
> "You think I need my next form to destroy you?"
"I haven't even gotten serious."
His Supreme Lord Eye flickered once — glowing in shades of black and electric blue.
He raised both swords and crossed them.
> "DARK MAGE FORM 3 — MAX OUTPUT!!"
Black flames burst around him, wrapping his body like armor. The land cracked. Time seemed to slow.
Ten Arcane Generals flew toward him at once.
Shen held one blade down low.
> "Here's your lesson."
> "VOID WAVE CROSS CUT!!"
SHOOM!!
A slash of void magic spun like a cyclone and erased the battlefield in a straight line — generals, beasts, debris, gone.
---
But even after all that…
More came.
Thousands.
Crawling from mountains, flying from clouds, summoned by darkness.
And Shen… just smiled.
> "Good. Let's make this interesting."
He gripped his blades tighter.
> "I'll fight all of you until my bones break."
"And when they do—"
"I'll fight with my teeth."
---
Meanwhile…
From far across the continents, the world's strongest beings, the Empress, Drifters, Luke, and even Arcane Lords began sensing a tremor in the balance.
A single man was fighting fate itself.
And winning.
