127. We're late
Did this human find me?
The thick darkness twisted, and the darkness and the shadow writhed as if they had substance, condensing into a demon with bat's wings behind it and a hideous appearance, and the body of the demon was not material, but pure shadow.
Shadow Fiend!
Shadow Fiends are spirit-like demons that blend into darkness and shadows, making them difficult to spot. And each Shadow Demon has several shadow spells in their hands, which can be weird and powerful, or they can be relatively ordinary.
However, being able to use the "Shadow Curse" means that this Shadow Demon belongs to a fairly powerful individual, and Russell estimates that it has a late second year, and its strength is obviously above him!
The Shadow Demon smiled and looked at Russell, excited that he had soon transformed another human transcendent into a shadow, as he held out his fingers.
It is ready to further catalyze the "Shadow Curse", accelerate the process of the curse onset, let the curse start in a few seconds, and directly transform Russell into a lifeless shadow!
Click.
Russell's phone camera was pointed at Shadow Fiend and he pressed the camera button on the phone's screen.
Spiritualism!
Spiritualism is a blow to the soul, and for the spirit, the lethality will be further amplified.
The Shadow Fiend fell into a momentary vertigo coma. Its movements were interrupted, and even the Yuying that made up its body was not as rich as it used to be, and it was a little more ethereal.
Russell did not hesitate, seized this short time, and took out a bottle of black-brown liquid in a clay pot from his dimensional pocket. The liquid is brewed from precious herbs and is mixed with solid pitch-black residue.
Russell took a sip of the liquid.
It's bitter...... He frowned slightly, as if he had returned to the days when he was a child drinking Chinese medicine.
After drinking the potion, the curse on Russell's body showed no signs of improvement.
The degree of his ghostly transformation continued to deepen, his facial features had become more and more blurred, and he was closer to the real shadow, and soon his flesh and blood were about to transform into a ghost-like substance, making it difficult to hold things.
Russell shook his right hand violently, throwing the medicine residue in the clay pot towards the shadow demon 20 meters away!
Sensing a great threat, the Shadow Fiend regained a slight sense of consciousness and moved sideways, trying to dodge the slag coming at him.
It didn't know what danger this dregs contained, but its instincts told the insidious demon to be careful!
However, while throwing out the dregs, Russell's left hand slammed into the void, emitting a faint blue light.
Spiritism: Driving spirits.
Shadow Demons, who have no physical body and are spirits, seem to be confined by invisible shackles. Before he could break free from his vertigo state, the Shadow Fiend was suppressed by spiritism and briefly froze in place.
The dregs went straight through the shadow of the Shadow Fiend, causing no damage.
Not injured? What is this human doing?
It's enough...... Russell smiled slightly, his darkened skin regained its blood color, and the curse had been lifted.
He transferred the curse to Shadow Fiend with medicine residue.
This was one of the sorcery mentioned in the knowledge of herbology, and Russell studied it on and off for several weeks, and consulted Professor Black Amber before he finally learned it.
"I wonder what will happen to the Shadow Demon if he falls under the Shadow Curse? Nothing happens? Or from a conscious shadow to an unconscious shadow? It shouldn't be too difficult for it to lift its own curse, right? Will the onset of the Shadow Curse start again, or will it continue to progress from the original timing node? If the calculation is to start again, then the two people will have an infinite amount of time to transfer the curse to each other, without considering the spiritual energy consumption......"
In an instant, Russell's mind had a long list of questions on his mind, but the situation was critical, and it was impossible to pay attention to these details.
He grabbed the flying potion suspended in the air, bypassed the Shadow Fiend, and flew away from the library.
The Shadow Fiend, on the other hand, was touching his body up and down, as if trying to find a way to lift his curse, unable to pay any more attention to Russell.
"Boom!"
A loud roar shattered the silence of the night.
The entire wall of the library, which had been strengthened by spells, was easily knocked down and dusty.
The fire demon flapped his flaming wings and rushed out. Fly straight to Russell, who is incredibly fast despite his size, and a wave of hot heat is coming from behind.
There were also a few other demons who poured out of the library because the entire wall had been knocked down, and several of them were also rushing towards Russell, who was flying in the air and was more conspicuous.
Oops...... Russell frowned slightly.
I was delayed by the Shadow Demon for a few seconds just now, and I missed the best opportunity to escape!
Why are you staring at me? When Russell complained in his heart, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the dark night in the distance.
"Russell, Russell!"
"Kid, are you here?"
It's Subway, Clara, and Black Amber Professor's voices.
"I'm here!"
Russell roared.
Suddenly, he heard a syllable sounding with blasphemy, evil, depravity, and darkness. The wicked syllables shook his spirit in an instant.
Blasphemy Decree: Deterrence!
The fire demon faced Russell in the air and unleashed his extraordinary ability.
At least in the late third grade, there may be a half-step fourth-grade strength of the fire demon projection, and Russell, who is at the peak of the early second grade, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big.
Russell's brain was as if it had been hit with a hammer, and he was completely shocked, unable to move or think throughout his body. The hand holding the flying potion bottle releases and falls from the sky.
The flying potion itself, also lost the control of Russell's consciousness, flying meaninglessly in the air.
Poof.
When the fire demon saw the black-haired boy fall to the ground, he laughed and pounced, the blazing flames on his body burning even more, and the heat wave was rolling, almost dyeing the night red.
The grass on the ground was ignited by the heat wave, and Russell felt the terrifying heat rushing to his face in a state of shock, but neither his mind nor his body could resist.
In just an instant, the fire demon can completely tear apart the defenseless Russell, and use the fire and thunder of the abyss to burn his spirit, and even the school hospital cannot be resurrected.
"Russell—"
In the darkness of the night. Professor Black Amber and his two teachers, as well as three students, Subway, Clara, and Black Feather, are flying in Russell's direction.
A large cloud of shimmer enveloped everyone, allowing them to fly through the night at extremely high speeds. This is the "group flight technique" performed by one of the two teachers who traveled with Black Amber, the teacher of the Transfiguration and Transformation Department.
At this time, whether it was Black Amber or the others, they all saw it in the crimson firelight, and the fire demon pounced on Russell on the ground!
"No, it's too late!"
Black Amber was about to cast a spell to stop it, but it was too late.
From the demon's mouth, a large cloud of hot red flames spat out, devouring Russell on the ground.
