258 The Power of the Dark Soul

Demon Hunter Blade.

The knife is two feet three inches long, the blade body is as black as ink, the curved handle is reversed, with a slight and wonderful arc, and it is carefully inlaid with mysterious mythril patterns, and the bone bow "soul hunting" is the same as the magic weapon handed down from ancient times.

At the same time, the name also belonged to the heroic young hunter. He is one of the "Twins of Light and Dark", the leader of the new generation of the Holy See, but he is rarely remembered in the turbulent history.

Because when they mention this person, they use another name.

"Lord of Shadows".

The master who lurks in the shadows, the great commander of the Judgment Crusaders, and the legendary figure who stirs up the continent with one hand-

Lord of Shadows, Silves.

In this chaos, the evil gods of the underworld hidden in various corners are active again, but among them, only the "Lord of Shadows" has chosen the method of "complete possession" to control the chess pieces, and this is the reason why the two have the same name.

Part of the reason, but not the main one.

The main reason is that people don't know whether the kind of decisions made by Silves are from his original intention or from the profound influence of the evil gods.

For example, the "Tide of Shadows" offensive, such as the siege of the holy city of Ranken, and then the insistence on breaking with the Holy See of Light.

As a former young man of the Church of Light, it seems that these actions seem a bit unbelievable, and most historians also believe that the "Lord of Shadows" at this time has already completely controlled all of Silves's actions. And with the gradual deepening of human understanding of hell and evil gods in the later stages of the war, this explanation seems to be more plausible.

In the desert and barren Hellplane, the evil gods wander through an endless stream of negative energy, and generally speaking, they do not fight against each other. But among them, the "Lord of Shadows" and the "Lord of Pale". But they are a pair of perverse rivals. Whether it is a difference in energy perception or a radical difference in personality, we don't know yet, but the absolute hatred between them is well known. This is also because they consume a lot of energy in the battle, so they can only fall to the middle level in the strength level of the evil god. However, after infiltrating this world, they also slowly cultivated their own power.

Compared with. The "Lord of Shadows" has a more sinister and suspicious personality, and he has always tended to use a "total possession" approach to manipulate the Chosen One. However, after the defeat of these pawns, he will suffer more damage, and thus gradually fall behind in the struggle with the "Pale Lord".

Two thousand years ago, the "Night God Cult" that he had painstakingly managed was completely wiped out by the Church of Light, which had a great relationship with the "Pale Lord", and they were both defeated in the battle, and the "Lord of Shadows", whose strength was greatly damaged, was directly imprisoned under the "Dome of Light", which lasted for two thousand years.

Such a he. How can we have no complaints about the Church of Light, and what kind of anger and resentment should we have in our hearts?

The evil gods themselves are extremely powerful spiritual bodies, and after entering Silves's soul, it is very likely that he has subtly changed the character of this host, and even completely controlled all of his sanity.

Under such circumstances, it is logical to lead the Inquisition to break with the Holy See headquarters, and even unite with the Demon Legion and the Council of Bones to launch the "Tide of Shadows".

Who can know the specific situation?

But. We may be able to confirm that we are rushing towards the stone platform at this moment. It was the Silves who was worried about Eren Elendil, not the so-called Lord of Shadows.

Pure white stone platform.

The blazing flame of light was still burning, and the body hanging from the flame had been shot down by the half-elves, but the moment Allegri reached out to grab it, he was shocked. The movement suddenly stiffened.

"Alright, Allegri, let's run, or it will be too late......" The chattering Illo turned his head, only to be surprised to find that his companion had closed his eyes. His whole body trembled slightly, as if he was suffering a great deal of torture.

His left hand had reached into the pure white flame, and it was impossible to tell if his hand was still wrapped in the layer of the shoddy holy flame he had made, but so far he had not smelled any charcoal-roasted fire.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Illo couldn't help but be stunned, although he didn't seem to be in danger, but what the hell was going on without saying anything.

At this time, the expression of struggle on Allegri's face had completely relaxed, and his body no longer trembled, but his eyes were still closed, unconscious, as if his soul had left his body, and he did not respond to his shouts, and stood in place like a stone statue.

Irlo was startled, looked around and saw that the others had no time to pay attention to this place for the time being, and circled around Allegri a few times, looking left and right but not finding any clues. Looking at Allegri's expression now, his face was full of comfort, as if he had had a sweet dream.

But is there anyone who sleeps standing under the sun?

Moreover, with his hands reaching into the supreme flame of the Holy See of Light, surrounded by powerful enemies, is this really a good place to dream?

"Stop!"

A broken shout came from afar, and Illo knew that Lu Dao was calling him, so he ignored it, but immediately felt a strong murderous aura coming in his direction, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Although I don't know what evil happened to Allegri, it doesn't seem to be life-threatening for the time being. The only way to do this is to wait for him to wake up naturally, and during this time, I am afraid that I can only rely on myself to protect him.

Otherwise, whether it is Innerdir or Silves, I am afraid that they will not mind concocting this guy who sent it to the door.

He stood up, secretly made up his mind, and calmly prepared to face the battle.

Illo and Silves faced each other again after a few years.

This is also the first confrontation between the twin blades of the bone bow "Soul Hunter" and "Demon Hunter" in history.

When Illo had a fight with Silves, who was then a hunter, during the Snow Wave Trade, the Half-Elf Ranger had shot almost an entire bag of quivers, but posed no threat to him. Seeing that things could not be done, Silves drifted away, in and out of a dashing manner, which was a great humiliation to the three giants of the mercenary group.

And now, that "Miss" of Silves has been promoted to legend, but the half-elf is still dangling in the realm of high rank, and the gap between the two is even bigger than it was back then.

Moreover, the Ranger is not a class suitable for frontal attack, their real horror lies in the one-hit kill in the lurking pursuit, compared to the actual combat effectiveness, their more prominent advantage is indeed adaptability and endurance to various environments.

But now, he could only hold firmly on this narrow stone platform, facing the head-on impact of a legendary professional.

Although he was still secretly scolding Allegri in his heart, Illo did not hesitate at all, the bone bow turned sideways, and the arrow pulled the string, and he was ready to attack.

The pale golden qi was swirling, and three white feather arrows shot out in succession.

Both are agile classes, and both are known for their speed. However, in the eyes of Silves in his heyday, even Illo's fastest movements were equivalent to slowing down by eight beats. However, under the suppression of the Holy Light in the sky, the current speed of Silves, who has lost the advantage of shadowing, is only at the level of a high-ranking professional. And Illo was already close to breaking through, so he was able to keep up with his efforts.

Coupled with the all-round detection method of "sensitive touch", and the strong penetrating energy of the "Dragon Stalker" heritage, Silves will not be unscathed if he is hit by it.

However, the difference between a Legendary Profession and a Superior Rank is not just in the hard metrics of speed and strength. Silves shook his body slightly, walked back, and avoided all three feathered arrows in a chic manner just by relying on his body in a square inch.

Seeing that ordinary archery skills were useless, Illo couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and the feathered arrows on the bone bow condensed, secretly thinking about countermeasures. And taking advantage of this time, Silves took a few steps closer, and was already within a hundred steps of the stone platform.

But his eyes glanced slightly, but he couldn't help but be stunned, this half-elf archer seemed to be very familiar to him, if I remember correctly, it seemed to be called ...... Illo?

He had seen the situation on the stone platform clearly, and the other party did not make any further blasphemy as he had imagined, and the stranger next to Illo stayed where he was. However, what made him wonder was that Illo, who was sending arrows to stop him, seemed to have greatly improved his strength, and the pale golden energy blessed by the arrows was faintly destructive with violent destructive power, and even he didn't dare to test his sharpness.

While thinking about it, there seemed to be another shout of the guards behind him.

The abominable Silves was right in front of him, making it almost impossible for Inedil to suppress the anger in his chest. Whether it was the earlier humiliation or the siege of March, the previous events made the archbishop resentful to the extreme, and even Illo on the stone platform had no time to care for the time being, and did not even mind fighting him back and forth.

At the same time, one after another feathered arrows flew in graceful arcs, and the landing point of the arrows under the control of his fingers was almost unpredictable, and Silves was surprised to find that these feathered arrows blocked almost all possible footholds of his advance, greatly delaying his advance.

He snorted coldly, the short knives flew one after another, and the sword light flashed, and several feathered arrows were suddenly blown out of the air.

But by this time, Innedir had commanded the convoy to re-cover him from behind and surround him. These weak soldiers were not even cannon fodder in front of him, but with the long-range fire support of Illo in the distance, he was entangled in the same place again.

Illo's hand kept stopping, arc arrows, spiral arrows flew out one after another, almost exerting his archery skills to the extreme, even Silves, had to seriously deal with this tricky feather arrow.

While he was overwhelmed, Illo on the stone platform had already drawn an arrow of Mithril from his backhand, and pulled the string with his bow, just like the full moon.

Specks of dark green phosphorescence seeped out of the bow and spread like moss, staining the entire arrow with verdant dripping. (To be continued......)
