"You're a lot stronger than you were in Minos!" Joshua sighed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You're not bad, you can open the barrier at the moment of my attack, I thought I could catch your flaw, it seems that I should have been more ruthless just now!"

"If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I might have died at your hands just now. Is there still no room for negotiation?" Joshua was suspended in mid-air, a small cloud of tornado-like energy gathering in the palm of his left hand.

"What kind of contest is this, let's stay away!" Theo said, pulling the group aside.

"All you can do is hurry up and die for me!!" Chloe completely released his breath, and the black mist that had lingered around him before instantly spread, concealing the road ahead, obscuring his vision, and even more obscuring the sky, as if night was falling. He didn't take a step forward, but the visible blue-purple energy automatically gathered in his chest, and it seemed to come from all directions, from the underground tombs, from the dead tree trunks, from the warriors who had died in the previous battles. All he gathered was the energy from the dead, and that energy formed small balls in front of him, rising and falling in mid-air from time to time. Chloe glared at Joshua fiercely, and the hovering balls flew towards Joshua. The balls were extremely fast, and Joshua dodged in the air, but the balls surrounded him, leaving him no gaps.

"What the hell are these things!" Joshua swung a gust of wind in his right hand, trying to blow the balls away, but the things were unmoved, as if they were disembodied.

"This is the power of the undead, let me make you a part of this power!" Chloe began to control the movement of the balls in the air with his hands, and with a stroke of two fingers of his right hand in the air, two of the balls sped up and rushed towards Joshua's head, Joshua tilted his neck in time to dodge a blow, and the ball hit a large tree behind him, and the leafy green pine completed its life's journey in an instant, yellowing, withering, withering, rotting, and finally turning to dust.

"This thing ......," Joshua gritted his teeth and gasped.

"You better pray you don't get touched by this thing!hehehehe!" Chloe laughed wildly, still standing, directing the ball with his hand from a distance.

"It's rude to just stand there and not use these things against me!" Joshua said, throwing the tornado that gathered on his left hand towards Chloe, "It's a bit windy today, so take precautions and don't get blown away!"

The small tornado began to expand the moment Joshua threw it, and at the same time sucked everything around it, snow, fallen leaves, weeds, and rocks were all swept into the wind, and the tornado that was still expanding was approaching Chloe, so that he could no longer stand still, so he had to dodge, and he could not continue to control the blue-purple ball that surrounded Joshua, Joshua seized the opportunity to escape, and took the initiative to keep a certain distance from the suspended energy balls that lost their target in mid-air.

"You guys, be careful!" Koyales, who was watching the battle, grabbed the four warriors by the collars and pulled them behind her, keeping them out of the way of the approaching storm.

"Again, I don't think we're ......going to be of any use," Larry shook his head.

"Let's just stand by and watch the excitement, they don't have a good eye for this kind of fight!" Leth laughed.

"Don't we really need to do something?" Dave asked.

"You're still young, you weren't on our boat that time, I don't know how powerful our 'Bow Maiden' is, she didn't do anything, we are in a hurry!"

"Sir, do we need to help His Highness the Prince?" Theo asked Koyales.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure. Kyales replied blandly.

Chloe dodged the tornado that was chasing him, and he had an indescribable fear of the wind, perhaps from Minos's memories and experiences. Minos had been blown around by the wind when he first came out of the tomb, and he was very unhappy with the feeling of being slaughtered by others, and now he was even more furious in the face of the whirlwind that forced him to run around. He summoned the balls that had been used to attack Joshua and slammed them into the tornado, but the swirling wind formed a good protective barrier, and the balls were bounced off the moment they touched its surface, and several trees turned to dust.

"Hey, don't hit us with that thing, don't you need my help, you're the one who will hurt us when we die!" cried Kyales.

"My lovely Koyales, don't you want to help me?" Chloe dodged as he forced his eerie smile on.

"Do you still need my help with your abilities, you are the son of the god of 'Great Name, Ding, Ding!'" But Yalais emphasized the word "Great Name" word by word, and the irony was overflowing.

"That's right...... So...... Drink!!" Chloe suddenly shouted, his hands began to flash with purple light, he stopped dodging, stood still, and caught the tornado coming at him with both hands. The swirling wind rubbed against his hand, splashing a large number of sparks, and his hand seemed to be protected by a barrier from the wind. His expression suddenly distorted, and his hands squeezed hard, and the wind instantly dissipated in front of his eyes, and the fallen leaves and gravel that had been swept into it suddenly fell to the ground, and the snow had already turned into water and was shaken dry by the swirling wind.

"Now, let's continue with the previous game. Chloe said and began to drive the rest of the balls, but he looked at the place where Joshua was floating before but did not see him, "Why......"

"Are you looking for me?" the voice sounded from behind Chloe, and at the same time a sharp blade formed by the wind stabbed at him, and just as the wind blade was about to touch his back, the cloak formed by the black mist behind him suddenly shook, and the wind blade bounced away, and Joshua was shocked back a few steps.

"Do you think I won't be able to protect my back?"

"Although you have become stronger, as someone who has competed with the obsidian Sarde, I have to say that you are far from him, and you want to grab the magic stone with your strength?" Joshua said excitedly.

"Robbing the obsidian magic stone is originally mine!" Chloe said angrily, his obsession with the magic stone is the same as that of Minos, and Minos's personality seems to have been preserved in him to a certain extent.

"You can't even beat me, so how can you beat the archmage who defeated me?" Joshua continued to provoke Chloe, trying to wait for the void that would arise in his anger.

"Do you want to use the Radical Method, I'm very polite!" Chloe regained his composure and smiled, "That damn Minos's obsession seems to be a little bit still there, please forgive me for the rudeness just now!" Chloe bowed with his right hand on his chest, and then began to hide his face in the black fog again.

"So what are you going to do next? Look at your impatience?" Joshua still tried to provoke him.

"You say I can't beat you, then let your death in an instant prove your mistake!" Chloe's eyes suddenly appeared from the black mist, flashing a purple light, and then his humanoid black shadow slowly emerged from behind him. The black shadow was like a three-dimensional shadow, as if a person had fallen into an inkpool, but his face had no facial features. Joshua looked at the black shadow that was slowly appearing, and for some reason he vaguely felt the black shadow smile at him, which made his body stir, but he knew that the black shadow didn't even have a mouth.

"What kind of power are you?" Joshua wondered, the moment he saw the black shadow on the ground, the grass he was stepping on withered and withered, and with every step he took forward, a large number of plants and trees lost their vitality, "Have you taken away the vitality of these plants?"

"It's not just plants!" Chloe said and the shadow rushed towards Joshua, the shadow was so fast that Joshua watched as it instantly moved from the shadow of the grass to the shady side of the tree trunk, as if it could move quickly between any shadowed places. Joshua kept retreating, but the shadow pressed closer. Joshua took advantage of the black shadow to scurry onto the trunk of a tree and struck a circle of wave-like energy with his palm, and the moment the energy hit the trunk, it was torn apart and shattered, but the black shadow appeared in the shadow on the ground again, without any effect.

"Is it true that man cannot attack the shadow?" Joshua was unwilling, but he could not do anything.

"It's good to have self-knowledge, now hurry up and give me death!" Chloe said that the black shadow emerged from the trunk of the tree behind Joshua, Joshua noticed it and turned his head sharply, and found that his black hand was reaching for him, and at the moment when it was about to touch his forehead, Joshua released a hurricane in front of him, and the hurricane blew onto the trunk of the tree and thrust in the opposite direction, allowing him to retreat some distance in an instant.

"Hehe, you're careless!" Before Chloe could finish speaking, Joshua saw the black shadow emerge from him, and he was in a hurry to dodge but let himself stand under the shade of the tree, which was near dusk, and the faint sun shone on the tree, casting a shadow that was not obvious, but it was enough for Chloe's ability to take effect. The dark figure emerged from Joshua's left arm, and slowly pulled his hands around his neck, as if trying to choke him.

"Damn! I can't just die here......" Joshua tried to resist, but it only took a split second for the thing to take his life, and there was nothing he could do. Knowing that he was finally rescued from Salde, that he had awakened and gained new strength, that he had already known his mission, but that he had been thwarted again, what could such a self do? How could such a self defeat Salde, avenge his parents, and end this war...... "You just need to believe in yourself." Father's words sounded in his head again, "But how can I believe in myself, I have failed again......" Joshua kept struggling, but he couldn't shake the thing off his body, he began to feel the breath of death, felt the world of the dead calling him, he saw for a moment that his parents were stretching out their hands on the other side waiting for him to come...... "Father, mother......" His eyes gradually lost focus, and the struggle stopped, as if he had given up resistance.

"Have you already accepted your fate, then let me fulfill you!" Chloe said and motioned to the black shadow to take away Joshua's life energy, but at the moment when the black shadow was about to act, Kyales, who was behind Chloe, suddenly took the bow called "Frost" from his back, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground with his right hand, and instantly condensed into an ice arrow. He drew his bow and shot at Joshua, the arrow piercing Joshua's left shoulder, recalling him to consciousness by the sting, but before he could react to the sting, the arrow that pierced him began to spread across the ice. First froze his entire arm, which caused the black shadow that emerged from his arm to immediately withdraw from him and return to Chloe's body, then froze Joshua's left leg, making him unable to move half a step, and then froze his body, "You...... Wake up soon...... Don't be blinded anymore......" Joshua struggled to say this, and his head froze as he spoke, until his whole body was sealed in ice.

"But what are you doing here, Aren't you going to finish before you see me?" Chloe said with a slight displeasure.

"Isn't that a good solution? Kyales said as she retracted her bow on her back, and then walked in the direction that Chloe had pointed out, "Hey, you guys, let's go!" she turned back and woke up the four sluggish warriors, and continued on her way.

"Do you think I don't know you're trying to save him?" But Yalais, you still haven't completely fallen into darkness, and it seems that you have to let me help you......" Chloe glanced back at Joshua who was frozen, and then muttered to himself as she followed Koyales' pace and headed northeast.
