Yege stopped helplessly and disappointedly, and the corners of his mouth became flat in an instant.

"I can't help myself."

The sound of a violent collision produces a high-pitched sonic boom – a monstrous picture.

The black shadow was tightly bound by a large number of dense tentacles coming out from behind the Night Pavilion.

The tentacles covered with evil eyes exuded a chaotic aura, like a miasma of green smoke, gently burrowing into the dark shadows—unable to resist the foul-smelling smoke, and then the nightmarish image forcibly occupied the caster's vision.

The tips of the tentacles are inserted into the whole part of the body, as if to infuse the breath of discord, or to extract strength or information.

The black image was frantically swaying in pain, and the shadow that enveloped the corpse began to stir unsteadily, on the verge of peeling.

Through the source of power of these two black shadows, the Night Pavilion easily traced the location of the caster.

After only thirty seconds of pursuit, two black shadows were released.

"Thank you very much for your self-submission, and I got a lot of interesting information for this."

"You...... No...... Be...... Person...... Kind! ”

"Don't confuse me with such a weak species. Also, before we track you down, please remember to be prepared to fight us, because you will attack us in return. ”

“…… You guys...... No way...... Find me...... Target! ”

"Rest assured—all your traces are in my hands, and I can easily find you even at the ends of the earth."

The Night Pavilion smiled as if it was a solemn goodbye, and then flicked its index finger - and the two black shadows were instantly torn apart.

The disappearance of the black shadow also collapsed the shadow world that surrounded the Night Pavilion and Kui Yong.

Only then did Kui Yong step forward and ask the Night Pavilion.

"Did you get any interesting information from the mind of the person behind the spell? Look at your look of finding a treasure. ”

"A treasure indeed...... The caster seemed to be somewhere in the business district with the Grossar we were looking for. ”

"Could it be...... Are the two accomplices? ”

"Definitely. I could see clearly from the caster's gaze that Grossar was crouching on the ground with a badly wounded body, and his weak body had to rely on the magic sword to support him, or he would collapse at any moment. ”

“…… Could it be the human? Obviously slightly inferior to Grossar in strength. ”

"Nope. Although several injuries caused by shadows can be seen on Grossar's body, in conclusion, the reason for Grossar's disadvantage is not the caster, who seems to be the cause of the monster. ”

"Monsters? That makes sense. ”

Kui Yong calmly agreed.

"Don't you seem nervous?"

"It's disrespectful to Grossar to be nervous, and I'm sure he won't die easily."

"Really?"

The Night Pavilion seemed unimpressed by Kuiyong's response.

"So now do you want to rush to the other party's position? Having found the exact location, I think the other side will dispose of Grossar as soon as possible, and finally move elsewhere to avoid our pursuit. ”

"That's nature. But—you can return to your centipede form for the time being, and I'll take care of the rest of the battle. ”

"Are you worried that I'll kill Grossar?"

"I'm not worried—the Lord does give a last-resort kill order, but Grossar can't possibly be hostile to you, let alone have an opportunity to harm him because of his intent to attack you."

"Hehe, that makes sense. Turn back into a centipede, and only let you face it, so that the enemy will misjudge our strength. ”

With that, the Pavilion transforms its body, melting into a viscous black semi-solid and reshaping it into a miniature centipede.

Silently burrowed back into Kuiyong's armor.

July 18, 1927, 12 noon sharp"

Along the way, I don't know how many black shadows have been cut off, and the black shadows that continue to stop Grossar from scurrying wildly, and the number is increasing, and it will inevitably take a lot of time to deal with it. But it's more certain that the other party is really staying in the business district.

Including kidnapped children.

Facing countless dark shadows, Grossar inevitably showed fatigue, but still tried to keep his breath steady and running.

Eagerly running to the position of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Vaguely able to perceive the approximate location through the keen perception of the lion, coupled with the increasingly dense black shadows on the road.

Can't be wrong!

Suddenly, Grossar smelled an eerie aroma that was different from the normal black shadow.

The sensitive sense of smell drove the right hand of the ordinary greatsword to swing a shattering air slash into the air!

"Drink!"

A deafening explosion erupted at the same time as the smoke.

"Show up! I know you're not that vulnerable. ”

"Hehehehe...... You're really powerful, and you can still talk to me with ease against so many shadow servants. ”

The ethereal and frivolous female voice emerged from the smoke with a slender and delicate figure.

There was also perfunctory clapping.

This person is "instant".

Confronted with the experienced warrior with a great sword, he instantly calmed down and greeted Grossar unarmed.

"Maybe it's the first time we're meeting? You must be the famous General Grossar of the Kingdom of Einck. ”

Grossar measured the young and fragile woman in front of him warily.

The body contains an indescribable amount of elemental content, and the nature of the element is the same as that of the black shadow that attacks you along the way.

As expected, the so-called "shadow servants" in her mouth were referring to the group of dark shadows.

"You know who I am...... Where did you come from, bastard? The crime of kidnapping a child is a serious crime in the kingdom of Einke, that is, a heavy punishment that can touch the death penalty, so why would a dog dare to do something unconscionable? ”

"You don't know where I'm from? That's right, let's have a fun bet! ”

"You're about to go to war with me, and you still have time to play games?"

"Oh? Uhhahahaha! Just complimenting you just makes you have the illusion that you can beat me? ”

"No—my power is definitely above you, that's what I understood at first glance."

"It's ...... confidence"

Momentarily wanted to taunt a few more words, but a sudden chill hit behind her, which made her expression change drastically.

It was the lion soul that quietly appeared behind the instant, the lion's mouth condensed with the light element, ready to bite the instant's body fiercely.

It's only three centimeters away!

The mouthful of the lion in the blood basin spewed hot air, touching the skin, and only needed to bite down lightly-

The body was immediately chopped into pieces.

The tiger drove for a while, and it was difficult to hide the panic in an instant, erecting the shadow, and using the air flow generated by the condensed shadow to shock the lion soul.

Fortunately, it was only a lion's head condensed with light elements, and it only needed enough strength to repel it.

I can't talk big anymore.

The corners of Grossar's mouth rose as he looked at Moment, who was still apprehensive, and he knew that Instant was definitely not his opponent.

"Looks like you're still a little alert?"

Instant is not far behind. Although his face was mixed with fragrant sweat overflowing due to the crisis, he quickly remained calm.

"What an eye-opener for me, is my presence threatening that the great general, who is said to be able to repel thousands of enemy troops head-on, and now he has carried out such a despicable method as a sneak attack on a weak woman?"

"It's not - just to prove that I can kill you at any time, by any means. Of course, I will not let you die unknowingly, but let you go to hell with your sinful karma. ”

"Sounds horrible!"

Momentarily hugged his chest informably, and trembled as he pretended to be afraid.

That look of fear was fake.

However, the trembling body is real.

If I hadn't paid attention just now, I would have died in the lion's mouth and would not have known it. Indeed, as Grossar said, if he wanted to, he could have died with an inexplicable feeling, and he had cheapened himself.

It is worthy of being an enemy of the general level, and the difference in strength is unbelievable.

"But I'll give you a piece of advice! That blow is your last chance, and you're going to pay the price for pride. Of course, even if the outcome is decided, the bet still has to be made. ”

"Bet on the ...... Do you love gambling so much? ”

"It's not fun if you don't gamble. The pact is as follows - if you manage to subdue my actions, I will confess who is behind this child kidnapping. If you don't happen to lose to me, please give me the magic sword. ”

Magic Sword? It turns out that this guy is desperate to make a bet with me, is it the Lionheart of Steel?

But a few seconds of thought, or even no thought at all—Grossar smiled contemptuously.

"No problem."

"Agreed so quickly? Don't you cherish the magic sword like that? That's it – the game begins! ”

He quickly gestured with his hands, as if he was preparing for the next technique.

It's just that Grossar is faster.

Holding the cumbersome big sword tightly, the swift figure only took five light steps, easily closing the distance between the two sides by a hundred meters. The sturdy right hand held the big sword high, and there was no chance to blink an eye, and the sword immediately rose and fell!

When he jumped lightly and slashed with a large sword, the breaking noise that shook the air dispersed along with the smoke from the shattering of the ground.

Did you hit it?

Neither dodged nor defended - smiled instantly and unscathed.

Because the great sword completely passed through the instantaneous figure, it was like cutting a shadow.

Grossar looked at it in shock—

"Is this fake?"

"No, it's the real me. But isn't it good to be so close to me? It seems that you still want to go on the attack, so I'll ask you to retreat into the distance—'Shadows of the Dead'!" ”

Then he quickly counterattacked Grossar.

The shadows under the feet of the two changed violently, and then the shadows materialized - several shadow spears frantically burst out of the ground, stabbing into Grossar's lower body like a sharp mountain, attacking fiercely and widely.

Grossar was aware of the opponent's counterattack early on, but he didn't expect the attack to come so quickly, there were several small punctures on the left and right thighs, and a lot of blood immediately oozed from the thin gray wolf skin leg armor.

This scene gives the opportunity for instant taunting.

"It's not right to underestimate the enemy!"

"Are physical attacks useless to you?"

"What do you say?"

The evil sneered, and the preparatory ceremony was completed—and he put down his hands in an instant.

Put your palms together!

"Enchantment Activates - 'Curtain Falls' Unfolds."

It's the enchantment magic that oppresses the chest again.

I saw that the surrounding scene was being swallowed up by dark shadows, and it seemed that even the air and temperature were cut off.

Is this the enchantment magic you've encountered along the way?

Grossar watched in surprise, he had already guessed the function of this enchantment.

Greatly increases the power of all shadow-related magic, including summoned shadow servants. Compared to other enchantment magics that generally weaken the target's abilities, "Shadow Curtain" is a rare amplification magic among enchantment magics.

Looking at Grossar's flat expression, he was not very surprised.

"You've seen it many times! That's right, your strength is too strong, if you simply let the shadow servant defend you, I'm afraid you will be defeated quickly, right? Every time you send a shadow servant, you have to set up a shadow curtain at the same time, which is really tiring. ”

"Self-inflicted."

Grossar didn't talk much nonsense, and once again raised his broadsword and rushed towards the instant.

"It seems that you still don't want to give up and attack me? I know that the weapon can't attack me, but I still rush forward recklessly, and it seems that the so-called general is just a horseman! Hahahaha! ”

Ignore the momentary ridicule.

The broadsword slashed at Instant again - the silver-white blade slammed into the ground, and the entire ground was cracked, but Instant's body was not damaged in the slightest, because the broadsword passed through Instant's body again.

"I see, it seems that physical attacks are really useless to you?"

Grossar unexpectedly smiled triumphantly—

"And what about magic?"

"What!?"

Instantaneously's expression sank like a flip book - finally realizing the trap.

Suddenly, the blade that passed through the flesh suddenly flickered, and the light element that appeared in the darkness slid across the silver blade.

The element of light given to the blade is ready to move.

With a long roar of "drink", Grossar violently raised the big knife on the ground and slashed the instantaneous flesh upwards.

The sword that passed through the void was stagnant in the flesh that resembled air, but it was suddenly given life and became able to touch the void - he was sent to the guillotine in an instant, and the body that he thought was invincible was cleaved open.

The big sword is held high as if it was drawing an end!

"Huh!?"

Grossar was shocked by what he saw.

The moment that should have been split in half by slashing upwards was still intact - the knife passed through again.

"Magic ...... too?"

"I'm glad you were white."

It turned out that the fear and shock just now were all acted, and the expression instantly changed back to the previous arrogant and sarcastic.

"Please go back and try again."

Again, the shadows of the dead fiercely fought back at Grossar.

Grossar took a big leap backwards and opened up a distance of nearly ten meters with an instant.

Fantastic.

The originally sharp and confident offensive was instantly confused by the first two waves of unsuccessful offensives, and finally stopped.

It's also a momentary opportunity.

"You seem to be puzzled, and I don't have the patience to make you think, anyway, please survive the next offensive - let me repay the great gift of sneaking up on me earlier."

At this moment, a chill sprouted from Grossar's back - he suddenly turned his head to see that the intertwined shadow vines were overwhelming Grossar like a tide, and it could be said that his entire body would be submerged because of it.

Shouting "damn it", he slashed at the shadow vines, and a large number of shadow vines were cut in two.

The offensive doesn't stop there.

Grossal's naked eye saw it—from the confluence of shadow elements around him!

The fracture of the shadow vine quickly grew new shadow vines, and they threw themselves at Grosar in frenzy.

The possibility of resurrection without dying, and even the appearance of this shadow vine in front of him, Grossar did not expect it at all. The second wave of shadow vines that followed smoothly stabbed into Grossar's body.

There was a muffled sound of "oh", and the tingling sensation spread all over his body, and Grossal's face became ugly, and cold sweat broke out.

It seems to be a shadow vine with a poisonous effect, only to feel the stinging pain of the nerves, and the reflexes are also reduced.

Just thinking about the way to attack instantaneously is distressing enough, and now you have to deal with the shadow vines that come one after another?

Clearly, the test is not over.

Taking advantage of Grossar's sluggishness, he instantly rushed towards Grossar.

The arms that can be broken by blowing are stretched out flat.

The shadow claws formed by the condensation of shadows covered the palm, similar to the attack stance of the previous black shadow, and pounced towards Grossar.

"Please die in peace."

In front of him was an indestructible shadow vine, and in the back was the pursuit of an immortal body, and he suddenly fell into a disadvantage.

The distance between himself and himself was quickly narrowed - Grosar unexpectedly remained calm, quickly withdrawing his greatsword.

"Activate ...... 'Holy Spirit Auto Pursuit'!"

Nine self-aware orbs of light reappeared, hovering beside Grossal, erupting in all directions.

It's not just an ordinary ray, it's a wide beam of light that is close to culling and other hits, cutting through the lush shadow vines like mowing grass.

It really suppressed the uninterrupted vigorous offensive of the shadow vines.

However, the image that Grossar cared about - when the Light Orb attacked instantly, Instantane jumped away to dodge the attack.

Instead of letting the beam of light spray at his body, he chose to dodge.

This scene did give Grossar an answer to be verified.

Because the "Holy Spirit Auto Pursuit" will only fight back at the target who intends to attack the caster, when it jumps away from Grossar in an instant, the nine light elemental orbs focus on suppressing the rampaging group of shadow vines.

Back to Grosar and Instant's heads-up time.

"The Holy Spirit pursues itself...... That's a tricky trick. ”

I sighed in annoyance.

Previously, through the visual sharing of the shadow servant, I instantly understood the trouble of this trick.

"From the brief hand-to-hand encounter, I learned two things. I don't understand where the original strength of the Shadow Vine is, but what I know for sure is that the Shadow Vine's regeneration ability is given by the 'Shadow Curtain', am I right? ”

"That's amazing—what? However, it is not surprising that your eyes have been blessed by the Holy Lion for a long time, and you can easily see the flow of the elements, so you can naturally see the process of this enchantment giving shadow vines. ”

"Even if you can't see it, you can vaguely guess that if the shadow vines formed by the condensation of shadows are not steadily injected with a large number of shadows, let alone maintain the shape and number of vines, maybe the power will become weaker and weaker."

Correct solution.

is worthy of a battle-hardened general, and his incisive reasoning skills are simply impeccable.

"In this kind of environment where you can't see your fingers, if you don't have the blessing of the Holy Lion, I'm afraid it will be a problem to even see you."
