Masterrrr! screamed an ugly looking goblin is it time yet? Not yet young one we will have our salvation. Clyde looked through the window of his ruined Mansion. He stood there taking in the view of a desolate plain. Gnarled branches of the dead trees that once were full of life. He smiled seeing what he had created.
The time is now slave. Clyde moved to the front yard and started laying down an ancient array. from the blood of desolate beasts and of course himself. He sat down in the lotus position and concentrated intensely on the qi inside of him. Moving the energy from his core to his hands activating the array.
(shadow.....)
A darkness loomed close by watching the man's every move. It had little soul power and it played the passive role.
Clyde felt the strain of the array on his body greedly absorbing everything he had to offer. Throughout his life in the void like world Clyde chased one dream to set loose hell on his homeworld. After searching for decades he managed to piece back the very book he needed to conquer earth. It was only missing 1 page.
That page that was missing could have meant life or death to him but he didn't care....
"This is taking to long" Clyde thought to himself. It's been a total of 3 hours and the array was still eating his qi. Clyde is sweating struggling to maintain the array. Then there was the single loud ring of a bell.
Clyde sat back exhausted from the qi depletion. Little did he know it the strange shadow had made it's way behind the goblin servant and touched it. The goblin was immediately consumed by the darkness. It was faint but you could see the soul of the actual goblin float up into the sky and disappear.
The goblin servant now husk of darkness walked closer and closer to Clyde and reached out to touch his back. But in a moment's time Clyde turned around and pulled the goblin into a bear hug and exclaimed "We did it old friend."
Clyde collapsed..........
The darkness had consumed his body and kicked out his soul. Clyde's former body got up and tested out how far the guy had gotten in his martial and spiritual paths. The darkness turned to the array and cut it's wrist open spilling the blood into the middle.
The darkness spread and opened a vortex in the sky. It rotated and sucked up all of the living things including the souls just recently killed.
