Chapter 49
At full speed, the El Seyu whitted like a bullet in the wind. I don't know how long later, an alarm suddenly remembered on the radar, and a moment later, Joster sent out a report, "120 Cels in front of you perceive a huge building, it looks like it's the destination?" β
"Almost... Joshua, turn the camera and take a look. Yulia ordered.
"Got it, start capturing the destination at maximum zoom...
Soon, the pitch-black camera showed the picture, and a shocking scene appeared in front of everyone. A castle stands abruptly in the middle of the endless wilderness, and the dreamlike sight makes everyone stunned.
"It's really emotional. Build such a castle in such a deserted place. Olivet spoke appreciatively.
"My sister has always been like this." Kevin replied with a wry smile.
"What's next? Father Kevin. Yulia looked at Kevin and asked.
"Well, let's approach slowly with vigilance." Kevin replied, "I guess the Shadow King is waiting for us to go in." β
"I see." Yulia nodded, motioning for everyone to drive slowly.
On the oddly shaped castle, the buildings of each building are interspersed with huge gates in an aimless and chaotic manner, dozens of large locks tightly close the gates, and there is a huge clock on them. Perhaps it was really the Shadow King who had been waiting for them, and as the airship approached the bell tower, a deafening bell rang out from the huge bell dial, and dozens of locks opened together as promised, and the city gate slowly opened to welcome the airship's arrival.
"This is the entrance to [the city]." After getting off the airship and coming to a hall, looking at the four identical gates, Joshua spoke.
"Why, how about so many entrances." Estelle answered with some irritation.
"This construction ... It's very similar to the style of the Great Cathedral in Altria. Liz replied after a closer look.

"Kevin?"
Without saying a word, Kevin suddenly took a few steps forward and shouted loudly into the empty hall, "Sister Rufina... No - Lord of Shadows! I know you're in there! I have decided ... No more running away and no more hiding! It's almost time to make an understanding! β
As if in response to Kevin's words, Lufina's voice suddenly came from the void.
"Hehe, it's just in time, welcome to my City of Shadows. Needless to say. Come, let's start the final game. β
The bell rang, and the four closed doors suddenly opened, revealing a pitch-black entrance. A moment later, Lufina's voice came again.
"The Atonement and his companions enter the gate that stands above, and the others are spread out to the three gates. I have prepared interesting programs for you at the end of each one. Then let's have a good time with each other. β
"What a nuisance." AgatΓ© frowned, "Why don't you go in together?" β
"Nope." Seresto shook his head, "If you don't follow the rules she set, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the Shadow King's residence... But in a sense, she is also based on the existence of rules, and I don't think there will be any traps. β
"Crush them head-on, right?" Ike glanced across the four doors, then turned to Kevin, "Now you're the protagonist, and it's up to you to decide the team assignment." β
"Huh? Is that good? Kevin was stunned.
"It doesn't matter." Ike shrugged, "If you want to be as efficient as possible, a lot of things get boring." It's rare to have such a good stage, if you don't try it yourself, will you be willing? β
βγγγ I understand. Kevin looked at the crowd with excitement and nervousness in his eyes, nodded heavily, and after a long silence, he spoke to everyone, "Then, I will now start to assign team candidates... β

In the City of Shadows, there was silence in the empty castle, except for the slight sound of the guiding lights from time to time. The whole castle is like a ghost. Not to mention living things in the huge castle, there is not even a single moving object. With such a huge castle, it's hard to imagine that this was built specifically for the Lord of Shadows alone.
The lights suddenly flickered, and the figures of four people passed in front of a guiding lamp, and the sound of wind and footsteps made the silent castle more noisy, but it seemed even more weird.
"Why didn't Mr. Kevin look for you?" Along the way, Estelle asked curiously.
"It's hard to explain this in terms of your comprehension." Ike replied to Estelle very "seriously", but it was not a lie. As far as Estelle is concerned, what can be solved with her hands is not with her brain. It is estimated that because Ike has been teaching Estelle during this time, Kevin has been looking at him, and wants to help Estelle by the way, and because of the equal distribution of combat power, Ling and Ike, plus Estelle and Joshua got together. It's not a new combination, but in Estelle's eyes, it seems that Father Kevin is the one who needs help the mostγγγγγγ God knows what she thinks.
"Don't worry Estelle, Father Kevin is a member of the Star Cup Knights, and he won't be easily defeated by the Shadow King." Joshua seemed to be comforted by Estelle's thoughts.
"If you two gossip here again, I'll leave you behind." Ike hurried to the deepest part of the castle, speaking to the two of them. The castle is huge, but there is only one road, so it saves those who get lost, and it seems that the Shadow King also hopes to end this battle as soon as possible. Or maybe you can't wait for Kevin's arrival? But it also helped Ike a lot. Getting lost is the biggest headache for him than fighting.
"Here we are." Ike suddenly stopped in front of an empty door, there was no door, and he couldn't see anything inside, as if a fog was shrouded in the room inside the door.
"Why did it stop?" Estelle wondered.
"I said, are you ready?" Ike took a deep breath, the breath in it was very familiar, after all, it was conjured by the opponent he had fought against, and even the aura was imitated vividly, which had to make Ike sincerely admire. Then he suddenly stepped into the black mist. What appeared in front of me was an empty, hall, which was obviously perfect as a fighting arena, if the opponent was not "him".
"What a big hall." Estelle looked around and wondered, "Is this the end?" β
"It seems so." Ike stared straight ahead with his eyes in front of him.
Suddenly, there was the sound of huge wings flapping in the quiet hall, and a huge black shadow enveloped the four of them. The red body and the majestic momentum told everyone present that he existed.
"It's really a bad imagination, even the posture is controlled." Ike watched as the red dragon landed on the other side of the hall and slowly spoke, a gospel embedded in the huge dragon head. There was a hint of fanaticism and excitement in Ike's eyes, "Of course, you can't be heavy for various reasons, let's take a look now, how powerful the so-called ancient dragon is!" β
