"Who knows? Maybe you will never wake up in your lifetime."

“That’s the best!”

Alexia said immediately.

The mysterious person didn't say anything else. She raised her sword, intending to cut through the restraints on Alexia.

But her sword did not strike down.

Because another pitch-black sword blocked her sword, a figure also wearing a black robe appeared among them and blocked the mysterious man's sword.

Alexia didn't expect that someone would want to arrest her.

"Who are you?!"

Shadow glanced at Alexia.

Fortunately, I ran fast, if I hadn't been a step late, he would have collected the princess's body.

"I am the shadow. Lurking in the shadows, hunting those who are in the shadows..."

"shadow?"

Alexia thought about it.

never heard of that.

She was not very friendly towards Shadow.

In her opinion, Shadow, a man of suspicious identity, was probably also here for her blood.

"Shadow, you don't have time to reply to my message, but you do have time to intervene in this matter."

"..."

Shadow said nothing.

He couldn't explain this matter.

After all, it was he who first proposed the setting of the cult, and who knew that the cult really existed?

Now the Seven Shadows obviously took his originally made-up setting seriously. How could he have the nerve to go back to the Seven Shadows and ask for information about the cult at this time? Even if he could, he couldn't ask for it, because that would lower the status of the powerful Shadow.

"Well, I've got what I wanted. As for the cleaning work that follows, I'll leave it to you, Shadow Courtyard."

The mysterious man was about to leave after saying this, but Shadow suddenly swung his sword forward.

Faced with this sudden attack, the mysterious man easily blocked it with his sword as if he had expected it.

"Oh?"

"..."

Both of them seemed to understand each other's thoughts.

The next moment, they attacked their opponents at the same time.

[Chapter 13: Nuclear bomb explodes above the city]

Shadow's idea is simple.

Since they met under such circumstances, they couldn't let him go. Since he lost the last battle, he secretly strengthened his training. Now he didn't know how much stronger he had become. And the best way to verify the results of the training was to fight again with the strong man who had defeated him before, right? With this idea in mind, Shadow swung his sword at the mysterious man without hesitation. As for the consequences of doing so, he decided to think about it after he finished the fight.

However, after fighting again, Shadow was a little surprised that the opponent actually changed his fighting style.

He watched the other person hiding in the dark

His eyes in the dark had already raised his sword swinging movements to the extreme. This was the first time he had raised his speed to this level in a battle. The last time he fought with his opponent, because the opponent used spells to play kite tactics with him, the sword skills he used that time were basically extremely powerful range attacks. He had imagined more than once in a hypothetical battle whether as long as he could get close to the opponent, he could use his speed to forcibly interrupt the opponent's spellcasting.

Now the answer is obvious.

No.

Because she is not only a magician, but also a swordsman.

Every attack he made would be blocked by the opponent.

The opponent seemed to have seen through all his moves, and his attacks could not break through the opponent's defense. What surprised him even more was that every time the opponent counterattacked, he had a hard time dealing with it. It seemed that the swordsmanship was just a casual swing, but almost every time it was stuck at the best time, and seized the flaws that he himself did not notice. If he had not cultivated the skill of changing moves at any time during the battle, he would probably not be able to deal with such a strange swordsmanship.

So strong, too strong!

The blood is boiling and the heart is beating.

The belligerent monster hidden behind the mask has been awakened.

With the boost of fighting spirit, Shadow's attack speed became faster. His figure flashed like a clone, and he kept attacking the mysterious man. If anyone else came over with that kind of attack, they would be torn to pieces by his sword. But the mysterious man was like a black hole that swallowed everything. She calmly swung her sword with one hand and resolved Shadow's attacks one by one. Shadow really couldn't understand how she did it. He also tried to steal her swordsmanship in the battle, but it seemed that he lacked some necessary conditions. No matter what he did, he could only copy the appearance at most, and there was no way to reproduce the essence of this swordsmanship.

However, in her swordsmanship, the moves were the least important. Shadow had already seen this. After all, every time she attacked, she just swung her hand casually, and there was nothing surprising about the moves. But the scary thing was the unclear things. Shadow thought of a term he had seen in a novel in his previous life - charm!

Simply put, it means 'God'.

No matter what skill it is, once you master the "God", you can reach another realm. This statement is actually the most common in the calligraphy world. Shadow also studied calligraphy for a period of time and reached this realm. But after actually mastering it, he did not think it was something mysterious, and it had nothing to do with the extraordinary world. After understanding this, Shadow in his previous life decisively gave up calligraphy. In addition to calligraphy, he actually worked hard on tea art, chess art and other mysterious skills, all for the purpose of finding the key to the extraordinary world.

In the end, Shadow certainly didn't find the key to supernatural power in his previous life. He ended up traveling to this other world because he mistook the headlights of a truck for magic because of mental disorder. He ran out of the road in the middle of the night and was hit by a truck and died. And it was precisely because of his experience in his previous life that he didn't believe in the terms "sword intent" and "charm". And in fact, his idea was not wrong. Although it is possible for a magic swordsman to increase the power of his moves when he is emotionally excited, in fact, it is because the body subconsciously releases restrictions and ignores the burden and forcibly overdraws magic power. The increase in power is due to the blessing of magic power, not the sublimation of skills. Skills should be improved through unremitting training day and night.

But is the realm that can be reached by continuous practice and improvement really the highest realm? If it was before, Shadow could say yes for sure. But now he began to doubt his life, because after all, his swordsmanship was just a sword forged by a mortal without inspiration. It seemed that there was no flaw and it was perfect. But is there a possibility. A true genius can see things that mortals like them cannot see, and that a trace of inspiration can also be practiced step by step like a mortal's swordsmanship to become a sword that surpasses perfection and finally reaches the realm of God?

As for the fact that her swordsmanship is like that of ordinary people, not relying too much on the enhancement of magic power. Shadow thought of a possibility that he had subconsciously ignored. After he came to this world, he was indeed affected in some ways. As for the definition of genius, he subconsciously believed, like the natives of this world, that genius refers to those who are naturally powerful in magic and can delicately control magic power. Because all the extraordinary powers in this world, the foundation of everything lies in magic power. But what if, what if a person has an unparalleled talent for swordsmanship? Shadow thought of the film and television works he had watched in his previous life. He remembered that such characters appeared in some works. They were not physically strong, nor were they strong in magic power, but they surpassed the strongest with swordsmanship alone.

'Is this possible?'

Shadow had just had this question, and then he saw his magic attack being defeated by the opponent's sword. After seeing that ordinary long sword without any magic power destroyed his magic-powered slash, his red eyes under the mask became extremely hot. This kind of swordsmanship actually exists. A swordsmanship that can destroy magic attacks without the blessing of magic! Beyond perfection, beyond the ultimate, it is undoubtedly the realm of "God"!

awesome!

As expected, he is the mysterious shadow master.

Yes, you should be this strong.

Break common sense and surpass the ultimate!

Only by doing this can you be a true shadow master!

Shadow suddenly felt a little ashamed.

He found that he seemed to have paid too much attention to superficial work before, which was really too superficial.

His practice is far from enough.

It seemed that his state of mind had been improved, and Shadow's swordsmanship became more natural at this moment. If his swordsmanship before was because he had practiced all the swordsmanship moves to the extreme, so that he could adapt to the situation at any time, then now he was no longer bound by the transition between those moves before, and the whole person seemed to have suddenly opened up.

"Oh?"

Bafansi noticed the change in Shadow.

He actually realized the sword heart?

Interesting, but if you want to learn from me, have you paid the tuition? Thinking of this, she stopped practicing swordsmanship with Shadow in the Sword Heart Realm and decided to show her real skills. The dark magic power surged, and the long sword glowed and turned into a 30-meter-long sword. With one sweep of the sword, all the objects around were melted by the heat of the light.

Shadow didn't expect his opponent to hide a big move in his normal attack, and was blasted out of the ground. If he hadn't used magic to strengthen his slime suit in time, this sword would have been able to knock him back to his original form. He was blasted high into the sky, and fell down with the pull of gravity. The next moment, a black beam of light blasted out from underground. It was like opening a lock. Shadow made a dodging move, but was still blasted to the wall of the bell tower several thousand meters away.

The bell tower shook for a while and then collapsed. Everyone noticed the movement here. Several shadows in the Shadow Courtyard saw Shadow being blasted onto the bell tower. The faces of these beautiful girls changed drastically, and the next moment they all rushed towards the bell tower at full speed. Although they trusted Shadow's strength very much, the strength of the light cannon just now was felt by everyone. None of the seven shadows dared to guarantee that they could keep their bodies intact when facing that light cannon. Even if they were as strong as Shadow, they might not be able to survive such a direct attack.

But there was a figure who was faster than them. Just as they set out, they saw a mysterious man in a pitch-black robe suddenly appear above the collapsed bell tower. The man raised a pitch-black sword with one hand, and terrifying magic spread from the sword to the sky. The sword was like a growing tree, and the black sword of light rushed up to the sky and pierced through the clouds. After seeing the horrifying scene, everyone was silent. Even the members of the Shadow Court lost faith in their leader at this moment. The residents of the capital knelt on the ground one after another, praying that the gods would not bring down this divine punishment.

The people in the sect were even more dumbfounded.

"Impossible, how could such a monster appear in this era?!"

Bafansi held up the lightsaber and waited quietly for Shadow to appear. She had no interest in massacring the city, so she would save this sword for Shadow. She had already calculated that this sword would not kill Shadow, but it would definitely hurt him for a while. After all, Shadow had rejected her offer to trade first, and this time he was bold enough to take the initiative to attack her, and even secretly learned her swordsmanship during the battle. If Shadow had not been harmless and was simply belligerent, she would have killed him long ago.

Shadow was lucky, or perhaps because she had not been under pressure recently, she found that she was not as murderous as before, otherwise, with Shadow's behavior, she would have chopped off Shadow's head with a sword.

"boom!"

The purple magic power rushed up to the sky, Shadow rushed out from the ground, and then decisively used magic power to fly high into the sky. Although Shadow and Bafansi did not have a conversation, they had a tacit understanding after the fight. For example, now Shadow knew that Bafansi's sword was for him. If he did not leave the capital of Midgar, the sword would hit the capital. And as long as he took the initiative to run to the sky to meet the attack, the sword would explode in the air.

However, Shadow still couldn't figure out why the opponent suddenly used such a big move. He wanted to experience the swordsmanship of the opponent more. He had just felt a little bit, but was stunned by the sudden attack. Shadow didn't expect that his act of stealing swordsmanship would make the opponent angry. Because in his opinion, the shadow strongman would not be so petty. Just like him. If an opponent could steal his swordsmanship and bring him a certain amount of pressure, he would be even happier.

But Bafansi is not a shadow.

She didn't want to be a powerful shadow, nor did she like fighting like Shadow. She understood the idea of ​​a warmongering Shadow, but because she understood, she suddenly decided to teach Shadow a lesson. Otherwise, if Shadow really thought she was easy to talk to, and wanted to run up to her and learn a few tricks every time he saw her, what would happen? She didn't have that interest. So only by making Shadow aware of her danger could this fearless chuunibyou kid wake up a little.

Although Shadow showed up to take the blow, he didn't intend to take it head-on. He burst out all his magic power, and the blue-purple magic power instantly covered half of the capital. Unlike Bafansi who simply outputs magic power, Shadow, who only knows this world system, can't materialize magic power as perfectly as she does. Most of the magic power he burst out couldn't be used effectively, causing it to spread in the air, forming a very beautiful picture. Those magic lines...

The circuit formed by the force was like a magic circle. At the same time, Shadow also began to raise his sword to accumulate power, and a blue-purple light appeared on the Slime Sword.

“I am...”

Shadow swung the sword in a circle and poured all his magic power into the sword.

"Atomic!"

A violent explosion sounded in the air.

The entire kingdom was shocked.

Two beams of light collided in the air, and then a huge mushroom cloud rose. If the attack had not exploded thousands of meters in the air, the aftermath alone would have been enough to crush ordinary humans into a pulp. In the explosion, Shadow fell from the sky, his slime robe emitting black smoke, and there was a burnt smell on his body. Although his special move did block the opponent's sword, it was not known whether the opponent had calculated it well, and the last two energy explosions directly rebounded to his side. Shadow, who had just used up all his magic power, could not dodge at all at that time, and then he was hit and injured internally.

When Shadow was about to fall flat on his face, Alpha rushed over from the roof of a building, hugged the limp Shadow, and disappeared into the night. The mysterious man who was fighting with Shadow was not sure if he was shattered in the explosion, and there was not even a trace left. The Shadow Courtyard quickly completed the retreat because Shadow was injured. However, their mission this time was almost completed, and now there were only some unimportant cult soldiers left to be cleaned up.

This night.

The residents of the royal capital are doomed to suffer from insomnia.

[Chapter 14: She is my predecessor]

"Lord Shadow..."

Is this voice?

Shadow gradually regained consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Alpha's face at first sight. He seemed to have heard crying just now. Was it his illusion? He silently glanced at Alpha's calm expression and did not think too much about it. He sat up from the bed. In an instant, a sharp pain attacked his whole body. Shadow's face changed and he could not help but groan.

"Shadow, please don't move now. Your injury this time is very serious."

"It seems to be true. Hmm~ Even for me, it will probably take two weeks or a month to fully recover. During this period, I'm afraid I won't be able to use magic at will."

Shadow said helplessly.

The moment he woke up, he understood his current physical condition through self-examination. It must be said that his injuries were really serious. His internal injuries were very serious, and because his magic circuit was also damaged, the speed of his self-healing was also greatly affected.

"Speaking of which, what happened to that girl later? Didn't she make things difficult for you?"

Shadow felt a little strange.

That guy seemed to have the same bad temper as his sister. He was worried that after he fell down, Alpha and the others would be troubled by that guy, but it seemed that nothing like that happened?

"Ok?"

she?

Alpha noticed the point, and she stared at Shadow's mask for a long moment.

"Shadow, I just wanted to ask you, who is that person?"

"...My fellow traveler? No, should I say senior? Probably, that's the relationship."

Alpha nodded.

It seemed that he accepted Shadow's statement, but then Shadow heard Alpha ask, "Why did you fight with her?"

"It's just a sparring match."

Shadow replied without hesitation.

He would never tell the truth that he was the one who initiated the challenge, because if he said that, his status as a powerful shadow master would be greatly reduced, so it could only be a friendly sparring. As for why he was seriously injured in the sparring, he said that the injury was actually just a minor one.

"One last question, is she our companion?" Alpha asked seriously. This question was crucial. If she was an enemy, they needed to prepare early.

"She is not our enemy."

Shadow couldn't help but remain silent for a while when he heard Alpha's question. Although he didn't know what that guy wanted to do, he thought it would be better not to treat him as an enemy. Because that guy was as strong as a monster, and it was the first time Shadow encountered such a strong guy.

It's simply a different level of strength, Shadow thought of the previous battle. Although he was beaten without the ability to fight back last time, this time he left a deeper impression. Because this time the opponent completely crushed him in the field he was best at. In the battle, he didn't see any chance of winning at all, and just defending against the opponent's attack had already exhausted all his strength.

"I understand."

Alpha knew what to do.

She actually didn't have an accurate understanding of the mysterious man's strength. In her opinion, the battle between the mysterious man and Shadow was a battle of equal strength, but Shadow lost in the end. But even so, she still knew how powerful the mysterious man was. After all, Shadow was the strongest being in the world in her eyes, and the mysterious man was even stronger than Shadow.

The thought of being an enemy of such a being was terrifying. If it weren't for Shadow standing in front of him, Alpha wouldn't have dared to think about being an enemy of that person. But fortunately, according to Shadow, that mysterious

Not only are people not their enemies, they may even be their companions, which is really great.

Come to think of it. Could it be that the mysterious man is Shadow's master or something like that?

Alpha guessed.
