The Shadow Lord is a strange and powerful monster that, according to those who have encountered it, has a human-like appearance, resembling a black and red figure. Pen "Fun" pavilion www.biquge.info but this form is not fixed, can be changed at will. It likes to hide in the shadows on weekdays, not necessarily for ambushes or sneak attacks, but purely as a hobby.

It is said to be a necromantic monster, so it is full of resentment towards the living. Although it has terrifying powers that can shatter even a mountain, it is keen to kill its target by devouring its life force. And its most terrifying ability is the ability to contaminate and bind the souls of those it kills, transforming them into shadow soldiers.

This terrifying monster has inhabited the Ash Forest for over two hundred years, and has launched attacks on various pioneering villages and towns more than once, and has even crossed mountain passes to wreak havoc on the Gold Federation. It had destroyed several cities in one fell swoop, forcing the patron saint of the Federation of Gold Coins, the god of commerce and wealth, to descend and only repel them.

Since then, it has been known as the "Shadow Monster" and has been given the title of "Shadow King", and there are even some villains who believe in it and use living people as sacrifices to get poisonous daggers impregnated with the power of shadows.

As a typical representative of the evil power of the Ash Forest, it and several other demons, good or evil, form the high-end force group of the entire Ash Forest.

As for the Ice Dragon Snowflake, strictly speaking, she is still far from this group.

Therefore, when the Shadow Lord suddenly attacked, even though the two strongest members of the Void Mask Church were present, they were unable to put up an effective resistance.

It was a sunny morning, and Rhodes was training with his recruited pioneers - even if he would choose a relatively warm summer, it would not be easy to carve out villages and towns in the bitterly cold north and deal with the risks inherent in the ash forests. To this end, a lot of training is needed, so that everyone understands what to do in ordinary times and how to deal with special situations, so as to improve the chances of success and avoid failure.

After all...... If it fails, it's hundreds of lives!

About a day's road north of Rye Town, they established a temporary village. The villagers are busy, doing a lot of work that they don't need for the time being, preparing for future development.

Gerald is training with a group of strong men, and their fundamental goal is not to establish a pioneer village, but to establish a Void Masquerade Church. For this, of course, a group of men capable of fighting is needed to form the Knights of the Cathars.

Xuehua is dealing with government affairs, which are generally finance, materials and personnel. She hated the tedious work, but until Sui Xiong got back the knight of Pahn, who was said to be very good at government, it was only for her or Rhodes to do it. Rhodes was also responsible for training the civilians, which was more tedious and boring than the boring government affairs, especially dealing with a group of stupid mortals who were uneducated, which was even more frustrating.

Xuehua once tried, but found that those guys couldn't even tell the difference between a simple concept of "left and right", and just to popularize this concept, it took her several days, and finally she was so angry that she almost killed someone. After that, even if Rod was willing to exchange jobs, she would never give up.

Hail and Frost are still looking for a suitable place to explore, and have found a few targets for the time being, but none of them are very satisfactory, so they continue to search in the north and cannot return for the time being.

For this reason, Hail protested several times, such as "lack of sleep is the enemy of beauty" or "children don't sleep enough to grow taller", and I don't know how much I thought. And Frost always stinks on his face, and "I'm not happy" is clearly written on his face.

In fact, they are not the only ones who are "unhappy", and Phil, the armored demon, is also quite dissatisfied with the fact that he has to look at the store and reduce the time he spends serving Hanada in the temple, but he is just kind and talkative.

Originally, the day was supposed to be spent as usual, as uneventful as ever, as boring as ever. But on that calm morning, something strange happened.

From the shadow of a room, a red-black figure emerged, it smiled strangely, and with a wave of its hand, countless shadows emerged from the large and small shadows scattered throughout the village, and immediately launched an attack on all the living beings around it.

In just an instant, more than half of the pioneers that Rhodes had worked so hard to recruit were killed or wounded, and less than a third of the lucky ones escaped the shadow soldiers' attacks.

But the shadow soldiers kept popping up, and there were more and more of them.

Seeing this scene, Rhodes was so angry that his eyes were red, and without saying a word, he pulled out his dagger and fought with those shadow soldiers. After Gerald swung his battle axe and defeated the shadow soldiers in the surrounding circle, he also hurriedly ran around the village, killing as many monsters as possible and protecting the villagers.

The real improvement of this situation was Satan, who, as soon as he noticed the problem, immediately activated the scroll he had prepared in advance, and released more than ten balls of light that radiated as dazzling light as sunlight in one go, floating all over the village. Light sources intertwine with each other, erasing most of the outdoor shadows.

As for the interior...... I don't think there are many people left......

His magic was used accurately, and it was just right to contain the elusive shadow soldiers in one fell swoop. The combat effectiveness of these shadow soldiers themselves is not very strong, and they can only be caught off guard by being able to jump from the shadow plane to the main plane through the shadows. At this moment, all the shadows were erased, and many of the shadow soldiers who were moving were also cut off, turning into a puff of smoke and disappearing without a trace.

The red-black figure let out an angry roar, and in just that moment, it had lost about a fifth of its shadow soldiers, which was a terrible loss.

So it took it upon itself, turning into a deep black shadow and taking Satan as he cast his spell.

It came so quickly, and so without warning, that Satan didn't even have time to react.

In the face of this demon king who has been ravaging the world for hundreds of years, even if he has put several layers of defensive spells on his body in advance, it has not been able to work.

With just one blow, his body was shattered like pieces of paper that had been cut indiscriminately with scissors, and blood spilled from countless wounds, but before he could hit the ground, he was sucked dry, and his whole body instantly became as dry as rotten wood, and he fell heavily to the ground, falling into countless large and small pieces.

It was only then that Satan reacted. In the face of the sudden death, he unexpectedly felt calm.

"Ah...... Is this death? haha, it doesn't seem to be anything to be afraid of......"

However, he obviously calmed down too early, and an eerie black aura spread out from the red-black figure, tightly entangled his soul, and the deep negative energy like a sea frantically poured into his soul, almost in an instant, his soul was completely polluted by the negative energy and turned into a twisted evil spirit.

Before being polluted and transformed, he only had time to say one last prayer: "Save my soul, O Lord!"

After killing Satan with a single blow and polluting his soul, the red-black demon king vented some of his anger and turned his gaze to more valuable targets.

For example, the dragon that appeared with the cold air, as clear as ice crystals. Or the giant roaring at him, tomahawk in hand.

Snowflake and Gerald sensed the Shadow Lord at about the same time, and rushed towards it. One of them spit out extremely cold ice flames, and the other fully stimulated the surging divine power on Sui Xiong's specially made battle axe, the cone-shaped blue-white flames turned everything in their path into ice, completely enveloping the red and black demon kings inside, and the golden battle axe was like a bolt of lightning, slashing towards its head.

Both of them are powerhouses of the legendary realm, and the power of joining forces to strike is simply daunting, but in the face of the Shadow Demon King, such an attack has not been effective at all, the red and black figures just waved their hands, and the shock wave turned into negative energy scattered the ice flames, turning into countless ice chips, which were raised like a heavy snowfall, and Gerald couldn't even get close, and was directly blown away by the people with axes, collapsing several wooden houses in a row, and finally fell into a ruin.

The Shadow Lord is incredible!

With a casual blow, the combination of Snowflake and Gerald was broken, and the red-black Demon King smiled proudly, and his gloomy gaze fell on Snowflake's body.

The soul of an ice dragon may be a good collector's item.

But before it could strike again, with a thunderous bang, a blue-white thunderbolt fell from the sky and slashed at it.

Sui Xiong had been floating in the air before, constantly absorbing magic power, and slowly transforming it into divine power to increase his strength. This is his cultivation, just like when he was in the Ice Trench.

It was precisely because of his concentration on cultivation that when the Shadow Demon King came to attack, he couldn't react immediately. It wasn't until the believers suffered heavy losses that they woke him up from his cultivation and hurriedly descended towards the ground.

But just as he rushes to the ground, Satan has been killed, followed by Snowflake and Gerald.

Sui Xiong was so angry that he almost went crazy, and while speeding up, without saying a word, a divine thunderbolt slammed down.

Because of the speed, he even broke through the sound barrier, causing a loud bang.

Divine power thunder has its own tracking effect, there is no possibility of "dodging", the Shadow Demon King seems to know something about Sui Xiong's situation, and he has no intention of dodging at all, with a wave of his hand, the tide of negative energy in the deep darkness rises into the sky, and collides with the divine power thunder.

The two forces collided violently, and there was no sound, but the surrounding space was distorted and blurred, and even the scene of the shadow plane could be seen from the distortion.

The first blow of the battle between the two sides shattered the spatial barrier of the main plane and opened the passage to the shadow plane.

But this was only the beginning, and half a second later, a tentacle as thick as a towering ancient tree roared down, taking the red and black figure.

It was only then that Sui Xiong's roar reached the ground.

"Die!"
