CH.15 Commander Menes The Dark King

Menes the dark king, his gold armor shines bright, A power unlike any other, he wields with might, The chronotex may slow him down, but not for long, For his dark energy is fierce and strong.

With each strike of his sword, the enemy trembles in fear, No foe can stand against him, it's quite clear.

Commander Menes The Dark King

The Anubis couldn't believe his eyes as he stood at, he top of the hill, looking down at the scene before him. An entire army had appeared out of nowhere, ready for battle. The horses neighed and the weapons clashed, creating a chaotic and intense atmosphere. The sun's rays beat down on his skin, and the dust from the horses' hooves filled his nostrils.

Scanning the scene, he noticed the old man Marcus and a stranger whose face he didn't recognize among the army. He felt a sense of apprehension mixed with excitement as he knew a fierce battle was about to unfold.

The Anubis, the leader of the opposing force, looked visibly shocked and angry as he saw the army. He knew his reign of terror was about to come to an end. He commanded his commanders and his men to retreat, however Nefru, one of his commanders, questioned him.

"But boss, let me handle him," Nefru said, confused as to why they were retreating.

The Anubis shook his head. "No, don't bother Nefru. The man in front of us is the commander of the royal family. He is a great foe of mine. His mastery of dark energy far surpasses any of ours. He can kill you in one single swoop that's why they call him commander Menes the Dark King."

"But" murmured Nefru.

"I've had enough! You want to see his power? Then see for yourself!" shouted the Anubis.

Suddenly, the Anubis raised his hand, and a large black hole emerged from it. The commander of the royal family effortlessly jumped up the mountain towards the black hole. Jack watched in awe as the commander shouted, "Dark!" and Armor of darkness emerged from his hand. He smashed the black hole with a powerful swing, and particles of it rained down around them. In a blink of an eye, the Anubis and his commanders vanished into thin air, leaving Jack alone with the commander Menes on top of the hill.

the commander had a tall and imposing figure with a muscular build, donning a black and gold military uniform that exudes authority and power. His eyes glow with a fierce intensity, and his face is set in a stoic expression that conveys his no-nonsense attitude.

Jack turned to him, feeling a mix of relief and curiosity. "That was impressive," he said, trying to break the silence.

The commander turned to Jack, and he could see the determination in his eyes. "I am the commander of the royal family. My mission is to save you and Ayman."

Jack nodded, feeling a sense of admiration for the commander's sense of duty. "My name is Jack," he said.

The commander nodded in agreement.

As they stood there, taking in the aftermath of the battle, Jack couldn't help but feel grateful that he had witnessed such a remarkable display of power and strength. And he knew that he had a newfound respect for the commander and his mission.

As Jack stood up, he cradled his arm, wincing in pain from the blow inflicted by Akhet. He scanned his surroundings, searching for the nearest caves in order to find Ayman. His eyes darted across the rocky terrain, taking in every detail. He noticed the jagged cliffs rising high above him and the craggy boulders strewn across the ground. The scorching sun beat down mercilessly, intensifying his discomfort.

Jack frantically searched every cave in the Necropolis for Ayman, calling out his name. Suddenly, Commander Menes appeared and pointed to a cave on the right. "He's in there," he said calmly.

Jack rushed over to the cave and found Ayman lying on the ground, injured. As he tended to his wounds, Menes called out, "The horses are this way. Come on, hop on and we'll get you two to safety."

Relieved to have found Ayman and grateful for Menes' assistance, they quickly mounted the horses and rode off into the distance, leaving the treacherous Necropolis behind them.

As they settled into the carriage, Jack couldn't help but feel relieved that they had escaped the Anubis and his commanders. He turned to the old man and asked him how he managed to bring Commander Menes to their aid.

"Well, I was once part of the royal family's military," the old man said. "During my time there, I had the honor of meeting Commander Menes, a warrior of great strength and skill. He is one of the few people who can defeat any CHRONOTEX user without relying on the power of the CHRONOTEX itself."

Jack was in awe. The thought of someone so powerful was almost unbelievable. He couldn't help but ask Commander Menes a question that had been on his mind. "Commander Menes, may I ask you something?" he said, hesitantly.

"Of course, Jack," Menes replied.

"What exactly is dark energy? How do you use it?" Jack asked, curious.

"Oh, so you mean this?" Menes smirked

"Wow," Jack said in shock as he watched Commander Menes conjure darkness from his hands. "So this is dark energy." It was like an armor of darkness, and it had a sand-like texture due to small particles flying off of Menes's hands.

Jack furrowed his brow, his curiosity piqued. "What really is it, though?" he asked, studying the dark energy closely. He couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that it brought.

Commander Menes explained to Jack what Dark Energy was and how it functioned. According to him, Dark Energy was a natural counter to the CHRONOTEX, a power that made its users vulnerable to attacks that disrupted the flow of time. Menes went on to explain that Dark Energy was a force that could disrupt the very fabric of reality. Users of Dark Energy could channel their energy to create powerful attacks that could obliterate the abilities or attacks of CHRONOTEX users.

Jack's interest was piqued, so he asked Menes about the workings and types of Dark Energy. Menes replied that at the most basic level, users of Dark Energy could sense the movement of particles and objects around them. This ability could help them anticipate attacks and locate hidden enemies. At the advanced level, users could not only sense the movement of particles but also disrupt the flow of Energy around them. This allowed them to nullify the powers of CHRONOTEX and other energy-based abilities.

However, it was not until Menes spoke about the Master Level that Jack was truly amazed. Users at this level had complete control over the flow of particles and energy around them. They could sense, disrupt, and even defragment particles to create powerful shockwaves. However, using this ability required an enormous amount of energy and focus, and overusing it could lead to exhaustion and vulnerability to attacks.
