The barren plain suddenly revealed a great chasm, the crevice in the center of the chasm winding, and the valley that they could see was not far away, and a few hours earlier they had seen the tall spire disappear behind the clouds—it was the Tower of Shadows of Rivenkin.

The mysterious pagoda was close at hand, but the group had to stop because the strange shadow had caught up again. This time, he had an angry look on his face, and his eyes had the murderous intent of being fooled.

"Okay, looks like we're going to have to fight him." Kate gritted her teeth helplessly, her mana was running out, and the fire of purgatory didn't seem to work well against shadow creatures.

The two leprechauns were equally pale with fright, they had never been in such danger before, and even in the battle with the dryad, they were able to gain the upper hand with their cleverness; Eregar bit her lip tightly, the White Tower Wizard who had lost his mana was almost an ordinary person who was helpless, and it was difficult to provide much help in such a battle; Abu, who jumps up and down, certainly has the intention to kill the enemy, but the fire-eating beast itself is not born for battle, and its combat effectiveness is pitiful.

The only people who can really fight this shadow are Ironhide and Kate. The ogre rushed up half-helplessly and half-desperately to entangle with the other party, trying to create an opportunity for the demon warlock to cast a spell, but to little avail - the opponent's agility far exceeded that of the iron skin, his movements were as fast as a ghost, extremely fast, and the two of them fought together, and there seemed to be a circle of black shadows around the iron skin. He clumsily raised his arm to grab the other's elusive figure, but he was caught off guard by a punch in the shoulder or chest, and his nose was crooked.

"Crackle!" A thunderous sword swung out of Kate's hand, the second ring spell was the strongest single attack spell she had ever mastered, the power of thunder and lightning wrapped around the giant sword condensed by the earth element, and in the void it was as if a giant raised the sword high and slashed at the shadows.

[Thundering Sword] can lock on to a single target, the number of attacks is a total of seven, Kate doesn't want to hit every attack, she just wants to be able to hit at least two or three times - even if it's just once, the power of lightning on the sword will have an effect on Shadow's body, and maybe his speed will be slowed down.

For Kate and Ironskin, the most terrifying thing is not the speed of the other party, but the origin of the other party. The group had been entangled with this strange shadow for a long time, and they didn't know anything about this creature - even the White Tower wizard Erega who was known for her erudition had no clue, although she managed to crack the other party's bondage spells, but she was also confused about the spells themselves. The numerous texts of the White Tower Wizards Guild do not seem to record this shadow creature, and if they do, at least Eregar has not seen it.

However, Kate's expectations seemed destined to be disappointed, even though Iron Fur tried his best and even used his body to drag the shadow, but when the Thundering Sword came, the other party was extremely cunning to hide his body in a dark place in the slit. It was only after a series of seven roars that he once again revealed his fierce minions.

"Damn it!" Kate clenched her fists tightly, most of the warlock's spells were destructive, and there were few restrictive effects. If it was not Erega but Kate who was in the magic shock period at this time, then the former in the normal state might be much more relaxed in the face of the shadows than Kate, after all, the wizards of the White Tower are famous, and in addition to the plastic energy system, the spells they know are as vast as their wisdom.

What to do? Kate and Eregar looked at each other, and now they could only watch the ogre clumsily being played by the shadows - it has to be said that Ironhide's fighting style is also seriously flawed, and the timid ogre has no combat skills at all, and when they fight, they rely on their strength. Now that he has encountered a monster with quick body, Iron Hide can only be deflated.

Mysterious, powerful, brutal and swift shadow creatures drifted into the hearts of the people like a real shadow, they were at a loss, and it was almost a matter of time before they lost the battle - no one could stop him. The ogre standing in front of everyone was already scarred, and his beautiful skin became shocking. Purple-red blood spilled from the tiny wounds, and he gasped for air, still trying to wrestle with the shadows.

He didn't take a step back.

"Very interesting guy. I have all my strength, but I can't even touch the corners of my clothes, and ogres are really stupid. Shadow sneered as he coldly tore a long wound in the back of the tin - he didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill them all, but rather enjoying the torture.

Ironhide didn't answer, he spun around sharply and threw himself backwards with all his might. Unfortunately, the shadow's movements were simply astonishingly fast, and the moment the ogre turned around, he had quietly bypassed Ironskin's waist and reappeared behind him.

"Stupid!" Shadow kicked Ironhide in the back, his agility and strength didn't seem to be weak. The ogre's weight was kicked out by him, staggering forward a few steps, and finally fell to the ground helplessly.

"Ironskin!" Kate and Erega rushed up to help the ogre up, the latter's face almost turned the color of pig liver, and he waved his fist in annoyance: "I can't catch him!" ”

"Okay, I was looking forward to sincere cooperation with you, but unfortunately you played me once before, and I had to charge some interest. I must know the gate to Fernand, so I won't kill you all. However, it is still possible to kill some people. The shadow turned into the image of a man, and said indifferently: "I need to be reminded that this time it is not in the illusion space you created, and you will not be resurrected if you die." ”

The shadow suddenly moved, and almost in the blink of an eye, appeared behind Erega with a deformed and hideous face, and his long nails were like sharp scimitars, slashing at Kate's neck.

"No!" The rest of the group let out a cry of terror. Abu covered his eyes with a pair of paws, and the two goblins hugged each other in fright.

However, at this moment, a terrifying whistling sound tore through the air, and the shadow's movement suddenly froze, and in the next second, a two-person high giant sword was thrown fiercely from a distance - the speed of the giant sword flying was terrifying, the corners of the shadow's eyes twitched slightly, and he decisively chose to give up attacking Eregal.

"Boom!" A huge roar rang out from behind Eregal, and as the powerful force landed, the greatsword smashed deep into the ground behind the wizard, sending the rubble flying and sending a powerful wave of qi that pushed everyone out.

Eregar turned away in shock, swearing in her heart that she had never experienced such a horrible thing in her life—the teachers were right, the mainland was full of dangers, and it was much more terrifying than the Plateau of Despair.

"Oh my God, it's great that you're okay." Kate pulled Erega by the hand, hugged her head and gently comforted her - although the two had not known each other for a long time, the relationship between the girls under the same hatred grew rapidly.

Another break in the slit, two figures, one tall and one short, quickly appeared.

"What's going on? What a big sword......" Ironhide muttered to himself in a daze.

"Ah, the bad guy, the big bad guy has been found!" Before the rest could see who it was, the two ice goblins began to cheer. Although the eyesight of the elves is not as strong as that of the big elves, it is far farther than the average race, and Duran has only changed his body after being reborn in the evil land, and his appearance has not changed much, so he is recognized by them at a glance.

"Master!?" The ogre was the second to react, and this guy was almost crying with joy when he saw Duran appear.

Abu rushed over at a trot, and Duran took the fire-eater in his arms, and was relieved to see that everyone was safe and sound: "It looks like you're in some trouble when the important people aren't there." ”

"Maybe it's more trouble than you think!" Kate saw that Duran was unscathed, and she was excited for a long time before she could hold back such a sentence. And Erega was still shocked, she stared at Duran for a while, and said to him with a flushed face, "Thank you, thank you for saving me." ”

Duran shrugged his shoulders and pointed his thumb at Seamodo behind him: "You're looking for the wrong person, such an exaggerated sword can only be used by Seamo, I probably barely lift it up at most." ”

"Huh? Did you save me? Thank you, thank you......" Erica bowed her head in thanks.

Simodo scratched the back of his head and laughed dryly, it was clear that the mercenary man's vocabulary didn't seem to be rich enough to handle the lady's gratitude.

"Before we catch up, let's get down to business." Duran casually picked out a long sword from the little demon's tail, this long sword came from the arsenal of the Mage Tower, although it was just an ordinary standard weapon, but Duran was quite easy to use. His right wrist was noticeably more calm and powerful, and after holding the long sword, he shook a sword flower in his hand, although it was only the most ordinary starting style, but the posture was unusually standard, and even the strictest instructor could not find the slightest fault.

"Be careful, Duran, this guy is unfathomable." A look of surprise flashed in Kate's eyes, she hadn't seen her for a day or two, and Duran's strength seemed to have grown by leaps and bounds—an incredible increase.

The shadow that escaped Simodo's ferocious throw slowly appeared under a dead old tree, and the middle-aged man spoke, "It seems that you are their leader." ”

"I don't like talking nonsense with enemies." Duran smiled, and without saying a word, raised his sword: "Especially an ignorant shadow nightmare." ”
