"I ...... It seems to have lost. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It was getting late, and Starlo, who had just woken up from the long chaos of eliminating the concept of time, looked up at the sunset, which was slightly dark, bloody, and shook his head and spat out slack words.

Lost, failed, didn't succeed. He couldn't stop Snyke, who didn't know if he could be considered an "old friend", from falling into the shadows even more, and not only that, but despite all his strength, he was knocked down by the shadows and suffered the most serious injury in his life.

――Even if the "daughter of God" came to treat me herself, I am afraid that I would have to lie down for a while, but now that I think about it, the "big words" at that time were really ironic...... Didn't stop him at all, did he?

"Ahem......"

Thinking of this, the bloodied "Mu Shi" couldn't help but cough lightly, and the blood coughed up from his throat was very colorful, which made his eyes light up and finally found that the surroundings were all the same color.

In the next second, chaotic thoughts couldn't help but be relieved in the wind whistling on both sides.

"How can you say that you lost! I ...... I saw your heroic posture when you fought on the sidelines, and you were able to fight the 'monsters' who gained the power of the shadows even when you were injured and had to consume mana to maintain those protective barriers, and finally evacuated safely with those you protected, how can this result be said to be a loss?! ”

Troy slung the dramatic body of "Wood and Stone" over his shoulders - only as a sign of respect for him, and the somewhat impassioned words in his mouth quickly calmed down as his emotions were vented.

"I just, don't think you're losing, not at all. ”

The boy said categorically.

......

......

......

"I ...... Wrong. Wrong, right?"

Even though the road was surrounded by the Assassins who had been ambushed in advance, Troy still managed to reach the "base area" of the hunting group as quickly as he could. It's just that as the foreboding that already existed in his heart deepened, on the other hand, Shi Lijie's magic power, which was not because distance limited his perception ability, made the young man feel remorseful, and he understood that Xiao Heiye's side might have also been attacked by the enemy.

"Just because I left without permission. ”

The remorse did not last long, for he knew that he had to make a choice, and that the "enemy" may have calculated his plan with this in mind.

"Fortunately", there are indeed signs that the battle is going on in the center of the hunting group, which means that of the three predictions at the meeting of the previous day, the one that turned out to be the most unfavorable one turned out to be realistic.

That's when the hunting team has made up their minds to go against the School of Magic.

Knowing this, Troy was no longer polite, and he did not have a "heavy hand" against the assassins who had obstructed him before. However, the unfortunate reply was that when the boy broke through the encirclement of the members of the hunting group who showed their hostility before himself, and he successfully reached the "Hall of Blood", it was also the time when Starloshi displayed the mystery of "natural magic" and successfully eliminated the "fighting spirit" of everyone around him except for the "Blood Serpent".

At that moment, the young man was inevitably affected, and he who originally wanted to step forward and fight side by side with "Mushi", who had only a few faces, but had already become an object of respect in his heart, suddenly couldn't take a step.

He only felt that his actions that had just been stained with so much blood were so stupid.

After a moment of distraction, the familiar aura of abomination made Troy, who was burdened with forbidden bloodlines and at the same time even more deeply destined, instantly sober up. Although his mind was still unable to command his body to join the battle with Starlo against the enemy, at least, the boy managed to get rid of the inexplicable frightening peace in his thoughts, and was finally able to confirm the battle in front of him with his own eyes.

On one side is the "wood and stone" full of vitality around the body. It wasn't until this moment that Troy finally saw Starlow's true strength, not to mention surprise, it was simply breathtaking, whether it was strength, moves, experience or realm, all that the first person to defend in the academy who was finally no longer limited to defense showed was far beyond the reach of the teenager himself.

On one side, there is a "blood snake" filled with the strange aura of shadows - the reason why the boy was able to deduce the identity of the other party is based on the fact that "there are only two people in the hunting group who can fight against 'Wood and Stone', and the appearance of 'Navy' is not described to match this person". It's impossible to think about "not being able to see the blood snake's own power", and the moment your eyes touch it, along with the disgust that makes people surge in anger, there is also fear.

That's what the future will reveal when "confronting" the Black Shaman.

In other words, Troy felt the same level of "oppressive power" from the "Blood Serpent" as the Black Shaman. And the "concentration" of the shadows that surrounds the enemy is by no means comparable to the shadows that Alphonse or Ryan and others once attached to!

Perhaps, what he had seen before was just a shadow of "deterioration" as Simon said. That's right, I don't understand how terrifying the existence of Shadow is.

However, Troy, who had many people and many things in mind, was not afraid, and he would never give in to this terrible power, or be captured by the magic of the shadow like the "blood snake" in front of him!

He swore to Lance, though it wasn't too reliable.

......

......

......

"Yes, did Shi Lijie really have an accident over there...... It's sad that our preparation is too insufficient!"

Supported by Troy, the "wood and stone" moved through the air neither fast nor slowly, and the source of power to move forward was not magic such as levitation, but the force generated by the boy's tentacles created by the forbidden blood to pull the ground.

As someone who knows the source of the forbidden bloodline, and who also knows some of the "comrades-in-arms" of the Trojans, Starlo is not as prejudiced against this blood-manipulation move as most people in this land. At this moment, "Wood and Stone" is listening to Troy with a sad face as he talks about what happened after his battle with the "Blood Serpent" ended.

In fact, after confirming that the "Navy" who led him to the Hall of Blood was not him, Starlo vaguely realized that Nigel, who was not here, must have something else to do, and that important thing was probably to target someone else who was more convenient for him.

Not long after becoming the "Daughter of God", the "Dark Monarch" team, whose members have a huge difference in strength, has become his target. And after listening to Troy's description, Starlo became more and more sure that the boy would leave, and Shi Lijie and the others were also induced by the "navy blue" illusion.

"We lost, and this time we lost to them completely. ”

Although it is impossible to guess the details of the battle, the result is undoubtedly tragic: the whereabouts of Sillijie Edward, who was an important force in the battle, are unknown, and the death of Pika and Funeral Wind, who were his companions and also fought alongside Troy, are confirmed to be killed, and Shikari, although he has also stopped breathing, his condition is somewhat "exceptional" - Troy said.
