Chapter 168: Troy's Longest Day: Shadow (5)

"Ahem, what is that, what is it? Any of you, have any of you ever seen this kind of magic? And that magic element that is darker than a pure black gem, swarthy, what? Have any of you ever seen it?"

The instantaneous reversal of the battle situation made many "veterans" who were watching on the sidelines look at each other, not knowing what to say. Among the jaw-dropping crowd of pen & fun > pavilion www.biquge.info I am afraid that only the "gold lord" pickup, who is very "good" in making money, but only knows a little about magic, can ask such a simple and "obvious" question.

"Hah, I'm afraid that's ...... Black magic. ”

I don't know when he withdrew the snooping eyes that were cast at Visa, and the tone was as strange as ever, and the man who wrapped his very thin body in a bloated and funny leather coat showed an inexplicable horror smile on his face, and turned to the pickup to explain.

"Oh, that's what the legend is...... Zac you really know everything, roar......"

It was a skill to be able to smile so much in such an oppressive atmosphere, and from Pickup's speech, Troy finally learned the name of the man he cared about so much. Judging from the previous conversation, this big-hearted and fat businessman and Zac should have had a friendship for a long time.

"Where, where...... This is just a rough guess, after all, none of us have such a damn 'evil magic'. But I'm afraid anyone would associate a scene like this with black magic, right?"

Rarely responded seriously, the corners of Sark's mouth, who shook his head, twitched slightly, and then fell silent.

However, the silence of one person accompanied the beginning of the discussion of the group.

"Is that really dark magic?"

"Can it be fake? Do you see that dark magic element? It's terrifying! I shudder just by looking at it!"

"Shhh...... I've never seen such a strange magical element, by the way! I've heard that this element is a cursed being, and if a mortal touches it, not only will his body be corrupted, but his spirit will also be corrupted!"

"Come on, I heard, don't take out things that you haven't seen with your own eyes......, and don't take them out to be scary!

"Bah...... It's really scary.,Why don't we retreat outside?Fortunately, the protective barrier of the training ground of the school park is notoriously hard......"

......

-- Not a single piece of useful information.

With a mind in mind, Troy quietly searched for valuable information from noisy but oppressive conversations—practices like this were the "basic abilities of being human" that Moore had taught him.

However, the more I listened, the more irritated I became, and I couldn't find anything helpful in my discussions. Specifically, it seemed as if none of the people present had ever seen anything like this before, let alone anyone who could tell what the pitch-black elements were.

"No wonder they have more magical powers than Vina and Ralph, but I can't mention any interest in them. Vina once said that knowledge and strength are equally important to humanity. Therefore, these 'people who are not at all knowledgeable' are not considered 'good human beings'...... Isn't it appropriate to use 'good humans' here?"

Having identified the somewhat strange details in his mind, Troy nodded unconsciously, determined to dismiss the "not a good human" discussion.

The battle in the arena continued, and the boy, who had always been a little curious about the effect of those neatly arranged fire elements, was even more eager to know the truth about the pitch-black elemental that he had seen for the "second time". If he could, he would also like to know why he felt irritated and disgusted at the sight of them.

"May I ask you questions...... Power...... Hmm, you know I'm asking you, right?"

There will always be many "shortcuts" on the way forward for human beings, and for Troy, his shortcut is the man standing beside him, ranking first among nearly 150,000 in the entire magic academy, the strongest in the real academy.

I'm afraid it's still the most powerful man in the world.

I don't know why, but he is very sure that "Wissa knows what the essence of these pitch-black elements is".

"Asked. ”

The other party's response was very simple, just as Troy had expected such a question, Wissa's response was not only simple but now swift.

"About those pitch-black elements...... My companion used to say that it wasn't 'black magic,' even though I didn't know what it was. ”

Troy's voice was soft, perhaps because he didn't want his communication with Wiesa to attract attention. Probably in the so-called "sixth sense", the boy has a strong premonition that what he is going to say next may cause a sensation.

"My question is, is that thing a 'shadow' at all, and if so, what is it?"

Troy, who kept his voice to a low level and tried to make his words only audible to Willa alone, didn't know if the other could still hear such a low voice.

- What is a shadow?

After a pause, the teenager who seemed to have a fierce exchange in his head finally added to the question:

"What is the relationship between 'Shadow' and 'me'?"

......

......

......

"Shadows can easily gain power beyond the boundaries of humanity. You've seen it, but by just completing the 'first step', Ryan, who covered himself with the shadows, was already able to suppress the man who 'controlled the flames'. ”

As if he was blind to the fierce battle between the two not far in front of him, the hoarse voice echoing in his ears made Brant shudder. The knight knew it was the voice of the man in black, but he didn't know if the other man was actually speaking, and he wasn't even sure whether he should address him or "it."

He only knew that this was a transcendent being that could control his fate.

"There is absolutely no way to become strong without paying any price in this world......"

The fear that had been born from the deepest part of his mind and had spread throughout his internal organs in an instant made the knight's body stiffen, and a large drop of cold sweat flowed down, and Brandt almost gritted his teeth and said the above sentence.

"Such an idea, you really meet the qualifications of mediocre to the extreme. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was another whisper in my ears that seemed to be a soul-inducing request. The knight knew that the man in black was standing behind him, and the momentum and words of the other party, who had already made him doubt the true god he had believed in for more than twenty years, when they first met, couldn't help but make his whole body tense again.

"Put aside your preconceptions, if you still want to shorten the distance with the geniuses who are favored by the true gods. ”

The voice of the man in black echoed from every corner of Brant's consciousness, leading him little by little to the bottomless abyss from which he could never get out.
