Using the direction of the light source and the interlacing of light, he dispelled the shadows of all existence - even if the bloodline gave Leia the talent to manipulate fire, he practiced for a whole year.

But that's just the beginning.

Even if he can't escape into the shadows, Instant is still the best swordsman. Unlike him, the successor of the "Shadow King" has been taught to fight, kill, and survive since childhood. If you are not careful, you will become another victim of that sharp blade, just like the names recorded in the "Mistry" documents, and disappear silently from the world.

He set up his spear, tensed his nerves, and watched every move of the moment.

The black-clad swordsman clearly had no intention of fleeing, nor was he willing to call for reinforcements—instead, he gently raised his long sword, a smile of joy and excitement on his face.

"Amazing." "Looks like you've done a lot of preparations. He raised an eyebrow, his smile mixed with indifference and playfulness, "The problem is, you can wait so long and choose this moment to attack...... What are you worried about? ”

Leia didn't answer, he was sure that he and the other party knew the answer. The Lord of Shadows mentions this only to distract him from the deadly assault.

Instantly understood his strength, just as he knew the danger of the other party.

The secret room in front of me is not spacious. This limited the help from the "Shadow Division", and also prevented him from wielding the weapon in his hand with all his might. The two men were about twenty feet apart—about the height of three grown males, meaning he had the advantage of having a longer weapon.

The premise is not to be found by the other party to break through the distance between the two.

"If you don't say it, I know it." In an instant, he seemed to narrate easily, in contrast to Leia's serious expression, "You are bent on living for revenge, but you are moved by emotions because of a few little girls...... Still don't get it? He shook his head slightly, "Your heart is no longer solid, and your gun—"

The light of the knife pierced the distance between the two men, and ten feet in front of Leia, the spear exchanged a piercing sound.

"It's still as sharp as ever." The young man with the gun narrowed his eyes, looked at the moment and stepped back, and said with a blank face.

The Shadow King's face twitched slightly, and he seemed to be even happier, "It's better that way." He licked his lips, swallowed, and changed the subject, "You know what? Where did the 'half-demons' who tried and failed to escape here, and the 'half-demons' who died in the bitter cold, end up there? ”

Leia replied with a fierce thrust. Unfortunately, the moment was still vigilant enough, and after several weapons exchanges, the two returned to face each other, but the position was changed to the sides of the room.

"Also, don't you want to know what happened to those 'monsters' who attacked Purple Leaf Town thirty-three years ago and ultimately led to the death of your parents?" The rambling topic continued in an instant, only in a slightly cold tone, "You have been away from "Pale Hands" for too long, I'm afraid you don't know that those people have already gotten the same fate as your mother...... Whether it's before or after death. ”

That's what you did, and that's why I'm taking revenge on you. Leia repeated the thought, keeping her mind calm. It was not only for himself, but also for those who awakened his hope and made him believe again...... Maybe youkai, a girl who can coexist peacefully with humans.

So he must not fail. Moreover, if a few of them prove themselves, maybe Wei Feng ...... You can give up his 'obsession' willingly, right?

It was another brief encounter. As a result, Leia came to a place close to the altar, and the "Shadow King" was only a few feet away from the closed stone door. It didn't seem to him to make any sense at all—he had already investigated, and the door of the Chamber of Secrets could only be closed or opened from the inside, and required a lengthy ritual. If the purpose of the moment is to open the stone door, he has enough confidence to stop it...... Or just kill the other person.

"You're thinking...... Why am I here, right? The black-clothed swordsman's words came just right, "It's like you've wondered if I had anticipated your 'visit'—"

He took a half-step to the right, swinging the hilt of his knife seemingly casually, striking the wall behind him, "Now tell you, the answer is correct." ”

The invisible magic enveloped the entire chamber in an instant, and the orange fireworks that filled the air struggled for a moment, and then all went out. Along with it, all the breath that belongs to the "King of Shadows" disappears.

For Leia, this almost meant that the assassination was a complete failure. To fight against Instant in the dark, even if he and Wei Feng join forces, it is extremely difficult. Even if he is lucky enough to hurt the opponent, the "Shadow King" can use his ability to freely enter and exit the shadows and easily escape his pursuit.

If it was the original him, he would have tried his best to escape from the secret passage, save his life, and wait for another better opportunity. But Leia knew very well that since she had been trapped here, it would not be so easy to escape. And, most importantly, now he doesn't intend to do it.

He understands the moment as the moment understands him. The "Shadow King" will never let go of those who provoke him, so ...... He had the only chance.

A sense of crisis came from behind, and before he could react - or rather, he deliberately suppressed his instincts, allowing the cold, narrow metal to run through his back, heart, and chest. He dropped the spear in his hand and flailed his arm back with a sense of it, firmly grasping a slightly hard, cylindrical object.

At the same time, a soft but bright light ignited again.

Blood turned into flames, breaking the ban on magic and dispelling all visible shadows. Leia turned his head to meet the face of the Shadow King, who was close at hand, and his right hand was clenched a little tighter.

He barely felt the pain, but the constant loss of energy reminded him that time was running out. As a 'half-demon', he still has the strength to fight back after being impaled, but ...... For him, it was still fatal, and there was no cure for it.

If he had the power of Wei Feng, maybe everything would be different. Leia sighed secretly, and at the same time gathered all the 'spiritual power' belonging to the monster in his body-

"Probably this way, I can be reunited with my father and mother." The young Ranger seemed to be saying to himself, "Are you right, Lord of Shadows?" ”

Moments didn't answer him. The black-clad swordsman struggled to pull his arms back from his hands, but when it came to strength, Leia, with his youkai blood, was clearly superior.

"It's a pity that I can't hear that guy admit his mistake, and I can't witness the end of this story." Leia narrowed her eyes and pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, "Who made this my 'mission'?" ”

And he couldn't do it to identify the enemy's body with his own eyes - but he did everything he had to do, probably ...... The rest is left to the few people he "trusts" who are still alive.

With the dazzling light that bloomed, Lea Leno's last consciousness returned to heaven and earth with peace of mind.
