Chapter 47: Killing
After a short break, Aldridge and Ron said goodbye.
Aldridge prepares to return to the Tower of Nightmares, while Ron continues with the Worm as he continues the battle to continue.
Marais, who can harness the power of shadows, became Ron's eyes, making Ron's search range several times over, and when he found that the apprentices of the Soul House were retreating, Ron brazenly entered the territory of the Soul House.
The apprentices who have survived this war to the present are certainly not weak, although Ron did not meet as strong opponents as Moses again, but he also encountered several enemies who were not weaker than Aldrich.
Under siege by Ron and Marais, the apprentices soon became the ghosts of Ron's men.
In the midst of this war between the Tower of Nightmare and the House of Souls, Ron delivered the most vicious stab to his opponent.
Ron is like a wandering Grim Reaper, harvesting the lives of every enemy he encounters.
When the fifth prey was buried in Marais's womb, their killing finally caught the attention of the Soul House.
The enemy began to consciously move closer, and four days later, five third-order apprentices blocked Ron in the Valley of Shadows.
The Valley of Shadows is a long, narrow valley at the junction of the Tower of Nightmares, the House of Souls, and the Dark Forest, and is often visited by wandering Lone Wanderers because of the ruins of an ancient wizard.
When the battle array of the Nightmare Tower and the Soul House was opened, no wanderer dared to come here, and those who dared to come turned into cold dead bodies very early.
Ron hid in the shadows, waiting for the arrival of the enemy, all the demonic items on his body had been consumed, and even directly suffered a ball of fire, fortunately, the elemental resistance played its due role, otherwise Ron would have been seriously injured at this moment.
When Ron was chased and fled, there was only one piece of good news, and that was that Marais had not been exposed.
So Ron leads the enemy to the Valley of Shadows, and when they face Marais in the Valley of Shadows, they will know what it means to crush.
This is Marais's home turf, and with the power of the rich shadows here, Marais will be terrifying.
Ron soon saw the first enemy, a third-order apprentice who had lost an arm, and the most dangerous of the five, who spotted Ron and signaled that he was in pursuit.
He held a fist-sized crystal in his hand, which was faintly emitting a white light, and if you looked closely, you would find that there was a trace of red light wafting in the misty white light.
It was a Evil Thought Crystal, and whenever the wielder approached someone with malicious intentions towards him, that fluttering red light would turn into a more evil thought pointer to the enemy.
Now the pointer of evil thoughts pointed to Ron in the shadows.
The one-armed apprentice stopped and said slowly, "Come out, under the evil thought crystal, there is no point in any concealment. ”
There was still no movement in the black mist, and the one-armed man was not in a hurry, but took a few steps back, staring at the pointer of evil thoughts, waiting for the others to arrive.
As soon as the five of them gathered, he believed that the arrogant enemy would meet its final death.
The second and third people arrived soon, and he also chose to wait, an enemy who dared to enter the territory of the Soul Trick House and killed so many people must be powerful, and it was worth the five of them to join forces to deal with.
Time passes slowly.
When the five minutes passed, the three people who were waiting finally noticed that something was wrong, because the waiting time was too long, and according to their calculations, the last two should have arrived three minutes ago.
A hint of uneasiness appeared in the hearts of the three of them, and this uneasiness quickly turned into fear as time passed.
"Maybe they're just slowing down. The one-armed man comforted himself, trying to give himself a little confidence.
When the fourth and fifth minutes passed, they knew that the two people behind them were already more than lucky, and for such a long time, even if they climbed, they should have climbed.
Yet they still didn't show up, not even a warning.
The two missing people are both apprentices who have refined shadow witchcraft, and in the Valley of Shadows, the two of them are the strongest, and they are also the ones who dare to chase into the Valley of Shadows, and now the two strongest people have disappeared so quietly.
Although the pointer of evil thoughts clearly told them that the enemy was in front of them, they felt a chill in the back of their necks.
Because the missing two have already told them with their lives that there is an enemy behind them, and an incomparably powerful enemy, an enemy strong enough to kill them.
The man holding the Evil Thought Crystal suddenly changed his face, because he noticed that the Evil Thought pointer had moved, not turning, but dividing a second pointer, which was pointing directly behind them.
This pointer is sharper than the one pointing straight ahead, and the red color is more vivid, indicating that the enemy behind them is more powerful.
The one-armed man's hand holding the crystal began to tremble.
When Marais's huge figure appeared behind them, they could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, and no amount of shadow could hide the fierce light in Marais's eyes and the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Eventually, they made an instinctive choice at the same time before the mortal danger, with the one-armed man choosing to attack Marais and the other two choosing to flee.
"Rose's Touch. ”
Behind the one-armed man, a huge spider dotted line appeared, the scarlet ornament of the spider's abdomen loomed in the shadows, and the spider's belly shrank and shrank, and a huge spider web erupted, tightly wrapping Marais's huge body.
"Thorn of Shadows!"
Ron emerged from the shadows, and a delicate black dagger appeared in his hand, with a ring of shadowy snakes entwined around the blade of the dagger.
The Shadow Serpent Ring began to turn, and when it made the first turn, the dagger disappeared from Ron's hand, appearing a few meters in front of Ron, and when it turned the second turn, it was already less than ten meters away from the one-armed man, and when it turned the third turn, it had already shuttled from behind the one-armed man to in front of it.
The Shadow Serpent Ring let go of its tail, let out a satisfied hiss, and slowly dissipated.
One-armed's face froze, and the man lowered his head, only to see a little bright red suddenly appeared on his empty chest, followed by a large patch.
His gaze seemed to penetrate his body, and he saw the hollow hole in his heart, and blood was gushing out of it.
It wasn't until Marais broke free from the cobwebs and Ron snatched the Evil Thoughts Crystal from his hand that he fell unwillingly and fell in a pool of his own blood.
"There are two more, don't let them go. ”
Ron started running, but Marais was faster.
Violent energy fluctuations soon came from the Valley of Shadows, and then quickly subsided, and when Ron walked out of the Valley of Shadows again, there were five more demonic items in the ring.
The final battle wounded Marais, and the near-death blows of both apprentices were struck on it, a frost blade leaving a half-meter-long wound, and another wraith's gaze had no effect on it.
