Chapter 287: The Man Who Resists the Darkness

The waves of air gradually dissipated, and everything was once again revealed.

The sheer power of Thorin's sword nearly destroyed a third of the Iquir Plains. Whether it was the buildings, the vegetation, or the city-states in the Plains of Iquil that had not been destroyed by the Atfans, or even the people inside, everything that was covered in the fighting spirit when Thorin slashed that sword was destroyed, all of them were destroyed.

, Thorin's hole card, is also Sorrin's most powerful and widest range of moves, as the name suggests, it is a blow that can end even the life of a god.

It didn't take long to prepare, but the signs were obvious, as long as it was the area covered by the fighting spirit that was injected into the ground and spread out in a fan during the first turn of Sorin's sideways somersault, whether it was the ground or the sky, it was the range of attack. Looking at it that way, it's easy to dodge this blow, just get out of the Fighting Spirit-covered area before Thorin does a sideways somersault to slash Slayer to the ground. But that's not the case.

As long as the fighting spirit is covered when it spreads out, then no one can leave this range, and there is no possibility of dodging.

The last time Soreen used this trick was a few years ago, when the eastern cities were angry about the development of Verchers City and sent troops to attack, and Thorin only used this trick to wipe out a total of 400,000 troops of the combined army of the eastern cities. This battle made Phothesa City the most powerful city-state in the Southern Continent, and Thorin was also known as the Sword Emperor.

After the people learned about its power, Thorin never used it again, because no one could force her to use it anymore.

This became Sorin's last hole card, and she wouldn't use it to end the battle until the necessary moment. And this time, in the face of Atfans, whose overall strength was equal or even above her, she used this move again.

Directly smashed the huge black ball launched by Atfans, and the Fighting Spirit Burst directly engulfed Atfans. With such a powerful attack, even Artevans would probably be shattered.

But in fact, Artevans only suffered some skin injuries.

At the moment when the fighting spirit exploded, Artevans covered his body with the energy of Aruba that he had absorbed before, protecting himself. But that wasn't the real reason why Atvance was able to fend off the blow, it was Kaina who suddenly appeared in front of Atvance at that moment and blocked it with her body.

When Kaina woke up, she didn't care why her injuries had healed or what had happened, and instead rushed straight towards where Artfans was.

By the time he arrived at the spot where Artevans and Thorin were fighting, Thorin had already slashed the sword. Kaina, who had judged that Sorin's power was amazing, didn't think too much about it, and flashed directly in front of Artevan.

Due to the effect of Kaina's special ability, no matter how fatal she was injured, her body would not be destroyed, and because of this, Kaina blocked all the damage that should have hit Artefans.

Because of this, Kaina's magic core was shattered.

"Are you alright...... Kaina slowly turned around, looked at Artfans, who was only slightly injured behind her, smiled, and collapsed.

Artevans hurriedly stepped forward and helped Kaina up.

"I'm sorry, I failed." Kaina said slowly, apologetically. Because of the effect, Kaina would delay her death for about three minutes when she received enough injuries to die.

Atfans shook his head and whispered, "I failed too, I didn't expect this human to be so strong, it seems that I was too arrogant before."

"Now...... What are you going to do?' Kaina coughed twice and asked in a very weak voice.

"Retreat, we won't be able to break through the city of Phochers. However, this is not an unacceptable result, at least it made me see the true strength of the human race in the Southern Continent." Atfans' face was calm, and he didn't seem to be in the slightest frustrated by the failure of his plan to attack Phochers.

"It's rude." Artevans whispered, and then gently hugged Kaina out.

Then, Artevans turned his gaze to Thorin in front of him, he stared at Sorin for a long time, and smiled slightly, "I once again express my high respect to you, you are a true powerhouse."

With that, Artevans disappeared with Kaina.

After confirming that Artevans had left, Thorin breathed a sigh of relief, took back the fighting spirit, and also took the extermination back to the other dimension, and turned back to the city of Phothes.

——————————————

That evening, on the top floor of the castle of Phochers, in a hidden study.

"We're safe for now." Solene took a sip of tea and sighed.

"We've already repelled our enemies, and the Demon Lord named Artevans lost two of his men when he fought Sister Thorin, so he shouldn't attack us again...... For the time being.'" Gofedor said as he stitched and stitched Thorin's torn clothes from the battle with Artfans.

However, Piante on the side was a little displeased, "Why don't you chase after it? We haven't really defeated the demons yet. It makes me sick to think that they had done something like that!'

In Biante's mind, it was not enough to just repel the demons, he wanted to kill all the evil enemies and never suffer again.

"At that time, I no longer had the ability to pursue, and one move to kill the gods almost exhausted my fighting spirit, and I don't know if there is any assistance behind them, so it is not appropriate to pursue rashly." As if comforting, Thorin spoke to Paiante in a soft tone.

"And what if they attack again?" Piante seemed to be a little persistent, grabbing his hair, "Ah...... Is! If I hadn't lost both of my fights with that demon at the time, I'm sure I would have been able to help you!"

"Brother Biante doesn't have to worry too much, this matter has passed, and the crisis in Phothesa City has been resolved." Gofidor smiled and said, "And, even if they do make a comeback, we must have a way to deal with it, don't we?"

As she spoke, Gofidor also mended Thorin's clothes. She carefully folded the clothes in her hand and handed them to Sorrin.

"Thank you." Thorin took the dress from Gofeldor and smiled. Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Have you really dealt with all the people who were injured by those strange creatures during the day?"

"Well, there's no going on." Gofedor nodded and replied, "The demon I captured hid some of the wounded at first, as if intending to release them after they had an attack and cause chaos, but the wounded were discovered and disposed of by Mr. Gerst."

"yes, that's great." Hearing Gofedor's reply, Soreen was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, "Tonight, I can finally get a good night's sleep......

——————————————

At the same time, in the western part of the Southern Continent, in the stronghold of the demons.

"How do you feel?" Artevans asked softly as he looked at Kaina, who was lying intact in front of him.

Kaina sat up, moved her arms slightly, and mobilized the energy in her body a little. Then, she said slowly, "Except that it takes a while to recover, everything else is fine."

Kaina said this, and Artevans nodded in satisfaction.

After bringing Kaina back to the stronghold, Kaina's life finally failed, and she died. But soon, Artevans resurrected Kaina with a move that took several days ——, take him once in a few days.

When he first returned to the colony, Artevans was still a little surprised, as he found that Liel was lying asleep on the floor of the colony, but her body was intact.

Lil seemed to have been healed by a spell, and the wound that was supposed to be on her chest was completely gone, but the tear marks and blood stains on the chest of her clothes still showed that Lil had been seriously injured.

Atfans immediately guessed that this must have been done by Rod, after all, he could do such a thing, and at that time it was only Rodat in that situation.

Lil looked confused when she woke up to find herself in the colony, but when she saw Atvance, her face immediately turned guilty.

……

"How long will you be frustrated?" Atfans turned his head to look at Lil, who was sitting on a chair next to him with her head bowed and a depressed face, and said, "We have failed, yes, but we have not lost much, and those bloodthirsty necromancers have replaced the lives of many people in Foxes, and it can be regarded as a tear."

"But, Sister Rusa, she ......" Liel looked up at Artevans, the corners of her eyes twitching, but she only held back to keep herself from tears.

Over the past hundred years, Lil and Russa's relationship has become like or even surpasses that of sisters, although Rusa was killed by Artevans herself, and Lil will not have any complaints about Atvance, but Lil still finds it difficult to accept.

Seeing Lil's appearance, Artevans said helplessly, "Do you think I really killed Rusa? Do you think I'm going to kill Rusha because she's been captured, so I don't want her to be a burden to me?'

"Huh?" Hearing Artevans say this, Lil looked puzzled.

"Look at it." Atvance smiled, and took a reddish bead out of the inner space and held it in his hand.

Afterwards, Artevans untied the bandage that wrapped around his left arm, releasing the energy that had been absorbed by the previous "killing" of Rusha in the form of a black mist.

A black mist gradually shrouded the beads in the palm of Atfans' hand. After a moment, Artevans withdrew his hand holding the bead and took two steps back.

After a moment, the black mist completely obscured the red light emitted by the beads, and gradually transformed into a black shadow, and gradually condensed into a human form.

In less than a minute, Rusha was "resurrected".

"Sister Rusa......" Lil's frowning brows instantly stretched when she saw Rusha's "resurrection". She immediately ran forward and hugged Rusa tightly.

"What's wrong?" Faced with Lil's sudden behavior, Rusa was startled, and her body couldn't help but tremble, but her face was still very calm.

"Liel thought she'd never see you again." Lil rubbed on Russa's body like a coquette,

Then Lil turned to Atfans and asked, "Master, isn't your resurrection only once every three days?" Why?'

Artevans didn't want to explain why, but seeing Lil's curious gaze, Artevans sighed softly and said slowly, "Because Rusa is a nightmare......

Nightmares, the most special existence in the demon race, can even be said to be the most special life in the world. Nightmares are just dark shadows that are embodied by mental and soul power and have subjective consciousness, without a physical body, not even the most basic appearance and outline.

Because of this, the nightmare is theoretically immortal, as long as the spiritual power and soul power that make up itself do not completely disappear, even if there is only a little left, as long as enough time is given, the nightmare will "recover".

Rusha is a nightmare, but it's a little different.

Rusa is considered a "crippled nightmare" because she has a core that all other nightmares shouldn't have. The Demon Core gives Rusha a gender, and it also allows her to transform into a human form and have a specific appearance, but at the same time, it also makes Rusha face the same situation as other demons. Once the core shatters, it will die.

However, even with the Demon Core, Ai Rusha's body is still a black shadow of spiritual power and soul power.

When Rusha was held hostage earlier, Artevans seemed to have "killed" Rusha, but only dispersed the spiritual power and soul power that made up Rusha, and turned it back into ordinary energy into her body, but did not destroy Rusha's magic core, that is, the bead that emitted red light.

This puts Rusha in suspended animation, and as long as Artevans returns Rusa's energy to Rusa's core, she will be able to revive immediately.

『…… That's it.'" With that, Artevans turned around and was about to walk out of the stronghold's main hall.

"Where is Lord Artevans going?" Rusha asked.

"There's one thing I want to deal with." Artevans only replied lightly, and then left without looking back.

Walking out of the stronghold, Artevans looked up at the incomparably brilliant night sky. After the rainstorm, the weather in the southern continent became very clear, and even the sky was full of stars at night.

Artevans loved the night, and preferred the starry sky, but he was not at all happy in the environment that was supposed to make him feel extremely pleasant and comfortable.

Although Atfans didn't care on the surface, in fact he was very concerned about this defeat, which was already an unexpected thing for him.

At this moment, Rusa's voice sounded in Artfans's head.

"I'm sorry, Lord Artevis, but the blame is all on me this time, I made a mistake." Rusha's tone sounded very guilty.

"It's okay, you better have a good rest, your strength shouldn't have fully recovered." Artevans didn't show any displeasure with Rusa, and his tone was calm.

"It's fine, don't bother me."

With that, Artevans severed her mental connection with Rusa.

Then Artevans turned and looked to the east, in the direction of the city of Phothes, and his eyes seemed to dance with fire, which was the flame of fury.

(Wait, I'll take you all together!) )
