Before each new life is conceived, the only thing that can be perceived by their faint perception is endless darkness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWhether it's a human newborn or an animal cub, the only thing that accompanies any new life through the time before it opens its eyes is darkness.

"Shadow" is the deepest darkness, and is occasionally regarded as the origin of all darkness.

In the 500 years of the Shindia calendar, no one doubted that the Shadow was a symbol of ominousness, pain, evil, and despair. I don't know when or where it will appear, and I won't allow anything different from myself to exist, and the shadow that greedily devours everything has become an untainish nightmare in everyone's eyes, and many "people of insight" have made the elimination of the shadow the greatest goal in their lives.

And the old calendar, which should last more than twice as long as the new calendar, has another kind of people, who instead regard this terrifying existence as a worship of faith. Decades ago, a text on a stone tablet excavated by chance proved that there was indeed a "religion" of shadows in the Old Era, and that fanatics of this sect regarded it as a great honor to be consumed by shadows.

Because they firmly believe that the shadow is the origin of everything in this world, and being swallowed by the shadow is equivalent to returning to the embrace of "origin", the ultimate form of a life "alive", and the perfect realization of its own value.

No one has been able to prove this claim, and whether it is true or not, but there can be no doubt that the slate containing such information was quickly destroyed on the spot by the priests of the temple, and from their standpoint it was forbidden for anyone to know.

"Have you, for the sake of power, have you finally become a puppet of the Shadows? This power is not for me, do you want to defeat the 'Son of God' so much?" Sneck!"

The shocking wound on his chest finally stopped bleeding bright red blood, but at this moment, the wound caused by the dagger slowly emanated from a pitch-black mist similar to that of the shadow - which meant that the weapon used by Lan Ji also had the power of the shadow, and perhaps it was also a "gift from the shadow".

Frowning and saying the above words, Starlo's calm appearance finally disappeared at this moment, he had the experience of "fighting" with the shadow several times, he knew very well that what emanated from his body was the shadow, and the reason why he was not swallowed immediately was not only that he was urging the "extreme of natural magic" to fight against it with all his might, but also because the power of this shadow was not pure.

――In terms of proportion, it's about 1 in 1,000, right?

Wood and Stone may be one of the few people on the continent who have seen the face of pure darkness and survived.

"'Finally'? Don't say as if you expected it. As for the 'puppet' argument...... Lao Tzu has never lived for himself in this life! Killing or dominating, the only person who can dominate will always be Lao Tzu alone!"

The darkness enveloped Snyk, who was surrounded by the aura of darkness and was not swallowed up, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, became divided between the peaceful dark green that once filled the entire space. The words of "Mu Shi" aroused the disdain of "Blood Snake", and it seemed that it did poke at his "pain point".

"You know me well, Starlo. That's right, you know, when I was younger, I was conceited, and I thought that no one in this world was my opponent...... Until I met Wissa, ha, who was knocked to the ground by a little child, and I didn't even have the strength to get up! Because of the mercy of the other party, I can live, this humiliation, can you understand?

Everything back then was still vivid, and Sneik, who was still gritting his teeth at the so-called "old accounts", shouted wildly, and the dark aura that enveloped his body immediately swelled in response to his anger, pushing back the domain power of the "wood and stone" force of nature, and almost compressed it.

"That's it...... That's it?"

However, Starlo, whose strength was limited to the lowest point, did not give in to this, on the contrary, he raised his proud neck, and his unyielding momentum made the figure of the middle-aged man look taller than ever.

This time, he really threw a look of pity at Sneiker.

"That's it, yes, it looks like you won't understand me...... Also, for you, winning or losing is not even as troublesome as an evening menu, right? But for me, a chance to wash away defeat and not die of humiliation can allow me to do anything...... As long as I can let the 'Son of God' taste the 'despair' that I certainly feel. ”

Sneck's eyes filled his eyes with resentment and twisted emotion, word by word, and then the sword fell back, and the shadow wrapped in the "blood snake" made the ancient artifact glow with even more enchanting fire.

The battle continues in realms beyond mortal comprehension.

"It doesn't look like you're being controlled by the shadows. You're just hopeless from the start. ”

Looking at the expression on the face of the leader of the hunting group, "Mu Shi" pressed his right hand full of magic power to the penetrating wound of black gas coming out of his chest, and poured the natural magic full of life force energy into it recklessly, and finally stopped the paralyzing feeling that gradually spread from the gap, and as if to provoke the other party, his expression at the moment was the one that the other party did not want to see.

"As for your great wishes, I can tell you very clearly: if you really try to use this little bit to control the shadow power and challenge Wissa again, then the only thing that awaits you is another rout! ”

In the gentle voice, "Wood and Stone" once again exerted the power of nature to the extreme, this strange power different from elemental magic may be the core of human life, the so-called embodiment of life force, and now, Starlo is burning his life force to the extreme.

He's going to put an end to the madman's delusions here!, however, not at the cost of his own life, he's going to live, this body that has survived to keep more people alive has not yet reached the end, and a mere fool with only a ridiculous victory in his eyes is not enough to stop him!

"I'll let you see the true power of natural magic. ”
