Chapter 162 Strength in the Dark!

Before the war even began, Louis quietly activated his Level 2 skill, "Rapid Thinking," which tripled his normal reaction speed.

Then he activated his demonic transformation, converting half of his thirty points of magic power into demonic energy.

In this way, he can use the talents and skills of both humans and demons at the same time.

Shadow Domination! Shadow Affinity! Shadow Veil!

Louis activated all three Shadow series talents one by one. Relying on the tenfold magic energy recovery speed of the magic furnace core, the magic energy consumed by various skills and abilities was rapidly recovering.

Louis's kingly aura was also activated simultaneously, causing his presence to reach its peak.

However, Louis did not use Skill Domination, which forcibly seals the enemy's innate skills.

Because that wouldn't have the desired training effect on Tiga.

It's just a friendly spar, not an attempt to kill anyone.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Louis and seeing the thick black mist surrounding him, even though Tiga had anticipated it, she still found it unbelievable.

She felt that she was not facing a level 2 professional, but a level 3 upper-level demon.

Even after losing the sun's protection, Louis's power seemed not to have diminished in the slightest.

"Can it be just as strong in the dark as it is in the sun?"

Tija thought to herself.

However, she did not back down because of Louis's strength. On the contrary, a strong fighting spirit surged into her heart, making the blood in her body flow faster.

"Captain, I'm going!"

The orc girl let out a low shout, her furry animal ears twitched slightly, and her body moved like lightning, covering dozens of meters as she charged toward Louis.

She dared not hold back in the slightest, and with her claws she formed a knife, she stabbed Louis hard in the heart!

Louis neither dodged nor avoided; with a mere thought, the surrounding darkness materialized, allowing him to roam freely!

Layers of darkness transformed into a thick, sturdy shield, like a solidified high wall, standing before Tiga.

The girl's hand slashed deeply into the solid darkness, but to her shock, the shield made of darkness seemed boundless. Even with her entire arm submerged in it, she still couldn't reach the end of the shield.

Tija immediately tried to back down.

But at that moment, she suddenly felt the surrounding darkness turn into a viscous semi-solid, constantly squeezing her body, making her face heavy pressure whenever she made any movement.

Even her mouth and nose seemed to be blocked by solid darkness, making it hard for her to breathe.

Louis gazed at Tiga, who was trapped in the physical darkness, and silently analyzed his own strength.

With the three Shadow talents activated simultaneously, his control over darkness was further enhanced.

Within a hundred meters of him, all darkness can be precisely controlled, whether it takes form or something else, it's all in a thought.

Of course, such precise manipulation of darkness is also inseparable from three times the speed of thought.

Without this skill, his brain might not be able to function properly.

"I can easily crush ordinary level 2 professionals just by dominating the darkness. Even level 3 professionals will have their movements severely restricted by the darkness."

Louis thought to himself.

If under the sun's protection he is a fierce and powerful warrior, then in the darkness he is a dark mage who can control shadows.

It's not accurate to say which is stronger or weaker; rather, each has its own advantages.

He quietly observed Tija's situation, to see if she could break the deadlock.

Then, he saw the orc girl emanating waves of icy cold air, a coldness no less than Morgon's Frost Power.

Louis had heard Tiga mention that she could use cold energy.

It is said that she possessed innate ice-attribute magic and honed her skills through the frost combat techniques passed down through generations in her tribe.

This ability is not displayed in the talent panel.

Louis guessed that this was an ability somewhere between talent and bloodline.

A chilling aura emanated from Tiga's body, forming blood-stained icy short swords on her skin!

The ice sword that pierced from the inside directly caused Tigar to suffer a serious injury.

But it was this courage to harm herself that greatly enhanced her power. With a twist of her body, the ice swords surrounding her shattered the darkness.

The orc girl was like a drill, spinning her body and shattering the darkness as she relentlessly advanced towards Louis!

Seeing this, Louis immediately changed his tactics.

The viscous darkness, resembling a non-Newtonian fluid, instantly transformed into countless incredibly sharp and extremely hard blades.

These blades, transformed from darkness, floated in the air in an orderly fashion, blending into the surrounding darkness, and slashed towards Tiga.

The shadow blade silently sliced ​​through Tiga's entire body.

In the blink of an eye, the girl's cheeks, body, and legs were covered in dense bloodstains, and some of the shadow blades even pierced through the charging Tigaza by fixing themselves in mid-air!

Bone-corroding curse! Plague curse!

Ignoring Tiga's miserable state, and seeing that she still hadn't stopped attacking, Louis unhesitatingly unleashed the two evil demonic spells.

An evil flame ignited from within the girl's bones, and the plague relentlessly weakened her resistance.

External injuries, internal injuries, and illness combined to push Tiga to the brink of death!

This was also when Tiga was at her most powerful.

In this state, any shadow shield or shadow blade would be shattered by a single blow from her claws.

Despite enduring unimaginable pain, the orc girl relentlessly crossed the final distance between herself and Louis.

Sharp claws came at Louis.

At this moment, Louis finally drew his sword.

The rune sword clashed with the claw blade. From Tiga's claws, Louis could feel the orc girl's burning fighting spirit; her spirit had not diminished in the slightest due to the physical pain.

A blow three times the normal force also made Louis, who did not receive the sun's protection, feel slightly strained.

That's all!

Molly's swordsmanship is inherently about overcoming the strong with the weak and deflecting all attacks; she easily deflected Tiga's claw blade.

The orc girl's body was also thrown backward by the rebounding force, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.

Clearly, no matter how strong one's spirit is, if the body can't hold on, it simply can't hold on.

From beginning to end, all of Tiga's attacks only forced Louis to use his sword once.

This is the absolute difference in strength between the two.

However, after this battle, Louis realized that Tiga was definitely the strongest member of the team besides himself.

Even Dina only had a chance to defeat Tiga at noon, and that was just a chance.

He stepped forward and helped Tiga, who was covered in wounds and whose clothes were almost torn to shreds, to her feet.

The orc girl was no longer the furry creature she once was; her body was now completely hairless. Fortunately, she was covered in blood, so Louis didn't see anything he shouldn't have.

Louis took a garment from his magic pocket and draped it over her, waiting for Tiga to recover.

Thanks to the restorative power brought about by her "transformation," the bleeding from her injuries has stopped.

Compared to Erisil's incredible recovery ability, Tiga's recovery speed seems rather ordinary.

She can't just recover from such a serious injury; she'll probably need at least three days of rest to fully heal.

After recovering, Tiga's strength will inevitably increase, and she may be able to force Louis to use more than one sword strike.
