Despite his relaxed expression, Artevans' heart was not at all relaxed.

The sword that he dodged just now sounded good because Artevans reacted in time, and to put it badly, Artevans narrowly escaped death.

The destructive power displayed by Sorin's sword was completely above Artfans' black ball, and that black ball was already the result of Artevans' use of eighty percent of his power. Artevans couldn't imagine how much more power Thorin could reach.

Artevans didn't want to be in a dangerous situation in order to test Rinn's strength, and with that sword just now, Artevans was already able to judge Thorin's approximate strength.

Seeing that Thorin was about to swing his next sword, Artevans immediately waved his hand, causing the black mist to cover the place, obscuring Sorrin's vision.

Seeing this, Soreen swung a sword at random, regardless of the power, and let the spreading fighting spirit disperse the black mist.

By the time the black fog had completely dissipated, Artevans was gone.

Thorin's expression was not lightened by the departure of Artevans, who realized that Artevans' presence was not a signal to attack, but only a temptation. And just now, Sorin has exposed nearly ninety percent of her strength.

But soon, Thorin breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's a good thing that I didn't use that trick, at least I left myself a hole card......

Afterwards, Thorin withdrew the exterminator into another dimension, and turned back to the city of Phothes.

——————————————

Travel back in time to before Thorin fought with Artefans, on the other side, in the woods that separated the city of Phorcher from the east.

Paiant reached the bank of the river that divides the central and eastern parts of the Southern Continent as fast as he could, and he could see that the woods on the other side of the river were completely filled with black fog.

Paiante was about to leap to the other side of the river, but as he took a step, he suddenly realized something, and glanced at the scythe on his shoulder, his face turning a little ugly.

(Damn, if I walk into that black fog and I don't have a shadow in the dark, I can't use the scythe.) ）

Paiant's scythe is a variation of his shadow, which has no weight, allowing Paiant to wield the scythe very lightly for quick attacks. But because the scythe is a shadow of Paant, if Paante enters a place where there is no light and no shadow will form, his scythe will disappear.

These are two special abilities that Pointe has.

The effect is that Payant is able to transform his shadow into any form of object, even if it is only a shadow illuminated by the light. And it's not just the scythe, he can also transform his shadow into someone's appearance. However, the range of action is limited, and the objects formed by the condensation of shadows can only be within twenty meters of Pointe.

, which allows Payant to blend his body into any shadow and move around at will. Moreover, in this state, Pepperonte's speed will be faster.

Judging from the effect of the two abilities, Payant can use these two abilities together, but because of the difference in the limitations of the two abilities, Payant will be a little uncomfortable when facing the situation in front of him.

It must only be effected with the Biant's shadow, and if the Biant is judged to have not emitted even a shadow from the light at a certain moment, the effect will be removed. The range is all shades, meaning that as long as you enter and stand in any place that is not directly lit by direct light, Pointe can sneak.

Facing the woods on the other side of the river, which were completely shrouded in black fog, Biante could use it, but he couldn't use it, which was a rather embarrassing situation.

However, Biante only hesitated for a while. He quickly made the choice that he would enter the woods even if he couldn't use it, after all, his sense of justice in his heart didn't allow him to stand idly by in the face of such a situation.

Paiant turned the scythe back into his own shadow, and then he stretched his shadow to the other side of the river, trying to use his shadow to build a bridge connecting the two sides of the river, so that he could reach the other side of the river faster.

However, just as the shadow stretched to the middle of the river, the shadow seemed to be blocked by something, and could no longer move forward.

Seeing this, Biante frowned, and withdrew the shadow to his feet. Then, he bent down and "snapped" a part of the shadow, transforming it into a small knife, and threw it forward with all his might.

Just as the shadow could not continue to extend to the other side of the river, the knife was stopped when it flew into the middle of the river, and this time the visual effect was clearer.

Paiante could clearly see that as the knife flew into the middle of the river, it seemed to hit an invisible wall, and several black lightning bolts suddenly appeared around it.

Seeing this, Biante couldn't help but recall what Gist had said before, and from this he also judged that this invisible wall was the reason why Gist said that the city of Phostis was isolated.

"Just a wall, don't try to stop me!"

Paant's shadow turned into a scythe again, leaping to his feet and slashing at the invisible wall. The scythe slashed through it, tearing a gap in the invisible wall like a membrane.

Naturally, Payant was overjoyed by the one-shot victory, and he immediately turned the scythe back into a shadow and into a platform with the help of which he wanted to make a second leap and jump to the other side of the river.

But just as Pyan was about to cross the invisible wall, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and attacked him.

Seeing this, Paiante's face was shocked, and he quickly turned the platform under his feet back into a war scythe and wanted to take the blow, but because he was not fully prepared, he was repelled by the opponent with a blow.

Immediately after falling back to the ground, Paiante rolled backwards in a circle, then stabilized himself.

Piante looked up to see who had stopped him. When he looked ahead, he saw a cold woman with long straight black hair standing not far in front of him.

This woman is Rusha.

Noticing Rusha's magic eyes, Piante frowned, looked at Rusha coldly, and asked sharply, "Are you a demon?"

Rusa didn't answer Piant's words, but just stood silently, seemingly emotionless, making Piante think that Rusa was like one of the dolls made by Gofidor.

Seeing that Rusha ignored his words, Paante smacked his lips, then raised his scythe and pointed at Rusha, and said in a louder voice, "Get out of the way! Don't delay Lao Tzu's time, Lao Tzu still has to save people!"

"Are these people you want to save?" Rusha glanced at Paante with a very calm gaze and responded.

Then, with a wave of her hand, several humans appeared beside her.

These humans were all defenders of the outer periphery of the eastern city-state closest to Phochers, and their bodies had swelled like balls of flesh due to the corrosive black mist, and their lives were worse than death.

Rusha grabbed one of the men's arms at random, but the man's arm seemed to have been corrupted by the black mist and turned into pieces.

Then, Rusa glanced at Paante again and said, "In this case, if you still want to go through, please."

With that, Rusa took two steps to the side, making way for Pointe to pass.

Seeing the soldiers defending the city in front of him become like this, a wave of anger ignited in Paant's heart, "How dare you ......?"

Even Gofidor, who was considered cruel by Payant, had never done such a thing, and seeing the demons treat humans like this, Payant was furious, and the pupil of his left eye suddenly changed from emerald green to red.

Noticing the change in Biante's left eye, Rusa's expression changed slightly. She immediately took a few steps back, driving some distance from Payantra.

Rusha noticed that there was a surge of energy covering her, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

(Is it his eyes?) ）

Rusha couldn't help but think so.

However, now was not the time for Rusa to guess the abilities of Paant's eyes, and by the time she came back to her senses, Piant had already rushed in front of her, brandishing the scythe in her hand.

Biante's astonishing speed was beyond Rusa's expectations, and although it wasn't faster than Lil, it didn't make Rusha react for a while. She immediately turned back into her original form, trying to rely on the disembodied body of a black shadow to make Point's blow miss.

However, Paant's blow slashed firmly into Rusa's body as she turned back into a black shadow, leaving a tearing trail.

After the first blow, Piante didn't pause and fired a second blow. However, in the second blow, Rusa, who had transformed back into a human form, condensed her wrist blade on the side of her wrist and blocked it.

"I don't want to fight you, you either go over or go back." Rusha looked at Biante and whispered.

Rusa's face remained calm, as if the moment Paante had just hit her didn't do any harm.

In fact, as a nightmare, Rusa is nothing more than the embodiment of mental and soul powers, she has no pain, and she does not have the organs that normal creatures have, and it is only because she is the most special nightmare that she has a humanoid body. Even if you are hit and leave a wound, as long as you have enough mental power, you can repair your body in one fell swoop.

Rusa didn't want to fight Biante, she didn't have any orders from Artevans, and she didn't want to cause trouble.

However, Piante had no intention of stopping his attack, and he suddenly exerted his strength to push Rusa back.

"If you kill so many people, you have to pay the price!" Paiante said, using his speed to flash behind Rusa and attack.

In Biante's eyes, Rusa is evil, and he should cut off the evil if he upholds justice.

Rusha sighed helplessly, dodging Biante's attack and flying into the air.

Looking at the murderous Paiante, Rusha turned her wristblade into sharper and more slender black claws.

"In that case, there's no way to do it......
