Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

The black sword hit Sid, making a deafening noise and raising a lot of dust, but Xiao Gucheng showed no sign of relaxation, because...

The explosion of black magic blew away the dust. In the center of the black magic, Sid was holding the tip of the giant sword in one hand, looking at Akatsuki Kojo with a fighting look in his eyes.

The mad beast did not feel the black sword fall to the ground.

"As expected... you are very strong, Kojou. You seem to be qualified to let me use my magic."

The crack spread from the tip of the sword and soon covered the entire giant sword. Finally, with a "crack", the black sword shattered like glass.

"Look, I told you you're qualified."

After crushing the giant sword, Sid did not take action immediately, but slowly walked towards Akatsuki Kojo, spreading out the hand he used to crush the giant sword as he walked.

I saw a bloodstain in the middle of the palm of that hand, which was caused by crushing the black sword just now.

escape!

This word popped up in Akatsuki Kojo's beast-like brain at this moment. He crushed the legendary weapons of the gods without using any magic power. This level of power is a concept that even beasts can understand.

But looking around, he found that a barrier had risen up at some point, trapping him and Sid together. No, it trapped him.

"Tap, step, step..."

Several attacks on the barrier were fruitless. As Sid's footsteps got closer and closer, Akatsuki Kojou... went completely crazy.

A huge amber bull-headed figure appeared on Sid's left, emitting a burning breath and holding a huge battle axe, swinging it down at Sid.

At the same time, a crimson two-horned horse emitting red flames all over its body appeared on Sid's right, emitting vibration waves from its body and swooping down towards Sid.

Faced with the double-sided attack, Sid's mouth curled up, he held the sharp blade of the battle axe in his left hand, and pressed the head of the two-horned horse with his right hand. The ending of the black sword was repeated again. Cracks spread from the place where Sid's hand touched to the whole body, and the two beasts disappeared.

After dealing with the bull-headed figure and the red horse, Sid prepared to continue walking towards Akatsuki Castle, but the ground under his feet suddenly turned into mist, causing Sid to fall because he had no foothold.

And at the bottom of the mist, a spirally intertwined two-headed dragon with a dragon head in the front and back was opening its bloody mouth, waiting for Sid.

As Sid fell into the mouth of the two-headed dragon, Akatsuki Kojou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the barrier beginning to thin.

The next second, a crack appeared in the middle of the two-headed dragon's belly. Starting from the crack, the two-headed dragon was torn into two and then dissipated.

Sid walked out of the crack and stood on the ground that had turned back from fog. A silver beetle wrapped in black fog fell into Sid's hand, which he crushed and continued to walk towards the Akatsuki Castle.

"Roar!"

Seeing Sid walking towards him, Akatsuki Kojou roared like a beast, and a water monster with a female upper body and a snake lower body appeared behind him, just like Medusa in mythology.

A liquid like mercury appeared under the feet of the water monster. The liquid continued to spread around, and everything touched by the mercury liquid seemed to have gone back in time.

The ground turns to dust, the glass turns to sand, and the steel turns to its pre-processed state.

However, Sid stood in the water, treating the mercury with the ability to reverse time as air, and walked slowly towards the Akatsuki Castle.

By the time Sid walked in front of Akatsuki Kojou, the snake-like water monster had been crushed by the black magic power emitted by Sid.

"Any more?"

Standing in front of the fallen Akatsuki Kojou, Sid asked curiously.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

What responded to Sid was a pure magic attack. The magic power was very strong, but it was nothing compared to the familiar just now.

"It looks like there is none."

Looking at Akatsuki Kojou who was attacking while trying to retreat with his legs against the barrier and letting out a frightened roar.

He spoke with a slightly regretful tone, and a black magic ball appeared. Cid held it in his hand and threw it towards Akatsuki Kojou.

A big horned sheep made of indestructible diamond appeared between Sid and Akatsuki, with countless gems forming a shield.

Unfortunately, the shield shattered the moment it touched the black magic ball, and the bighorn sheep pierced by the black magic ball also dissipated. Xiao Gucheng kept trying to retreat, but could only watch the black magic ball with a breath of destruction getting closer and closer to him.

When the black magic ball was only 0.5 centimeters away from Akatsuki Kojou's face, Sid's hand holding the magic ball stopped, and he spoke with a smile and a light tone.

"a big surprise!"

The black magic ball with a breath of destruction instantly turned into a blue healing ball full of life, accompanied by a sentence spoken in a magnetic voice.

“I am Recovery atomic”

The cyan light covered everything including the cornerstone gate.

Chapter 41: Peace of Mind

In a sea of ​​fire, Himeragi Setsuna, holding the Snow Wolf in her hand, walked along the passage towards the bottom of the cornerstone gate. From time to time, retreating guards walked by.

Just now, a dazzling green light seemed to cover the entire world. The wounds on the guards who were knocked to the ground by Rudolph inside the Cornerstone Gate healed instantly after being illuminated by the green light.

After the guards stood up from the ground, before they had time to marvel at this miraculous scene, they were frightened by the collapse of the cornerstone door and retreated in a hurry.

Before the cornerstone door enveloped by the green light, magma and vibrations were striking the cornerstone door buried deep underground on the surface.

Afterwards, deep beneath the Cornerstone Gate, the soil covering the foundation seemed to turn into loose mist, causing the foundation to begin to shake.

The last stream of mercury-like liquid touched the surface of the Cornerstone Gate, corroding the reason why the Cornerstone Gate was still standing after this series of attacks - the golden magic thrown by Shadow as he walked forward.

The mercury liquid evaporated in large quantities the moment it touched the golden magic power, and a white mist with a strange smell rose up.

But there was too little golden magic power left by Shadow, and under the constant siege of mercury liquid, the golden magic power was quickly consumed.

Although when the golden magic power was consumed, the mercury liquid also stopped flowing and was completely evaporated by the golden magic power.

But after losing the golden magic power that reinforced the entire Cornerstone Gate, the Cornerstone Gate that had been attacked and destroyed by various attacks before could no longer suppress the injuries inside the body, and the Cornerstone Gate... began to collapse.

"Huh...where? Huh...where?"

Using the Snow Wolf to cut off a fallen boulder again, Himeragi Setsuna gasped for breath.

She patted her cheeks and tried to cheer herself up to fight the fatigue. In order to stay awake and walk, Himeragi Setsuna squeezed out a bit of spiritual power from her body.

Green light can heal human injuries, but it cannot restore physical and spiritual strength.

For someone like her who had experienced several battles, it was an exaggeration to say that she couldn't even take a step, but it was definitely a problem for her to feel sore all over after taking a step.

Every step I took seemed to use up my last bit of strength. Even though I knew I was in a building that could collapse at any moment, I wanted to close my eyes and lie down to sleep immediately.

“I can’t sleep…I can’t sleep…”

She muttered to herself, and although she felt she could hold on, she felt her eyelids growing heavier and her vision getting darker.

Just when the last trace of vision was about to disappear, a pulling force came from the collar behind her, causing Himeragi Yukina to take a step back and also awaken her drowsy mind.

She immediately clenched the Snow Wolf that had been loosened in her hand. The instinct trained by the Lion King's mechanism made her subconsciously turn around and want to shoot the person behind her.

This smooth movement was forcibly stopped by Himeragi Setsuna the moment she saw the person holding her from behind.

The sudden stop caused the now dizzy Himeragi Setsuna to lose her balance and she fell towards the person who was holding her.

"boom!"

A huge rock fell from above and hit the place where Himeragi Setsuna had just stayed.

This scene fell into the eyes of Himeragi Setsuna, but at this moment she no longer had the energy to thank Sid who had just held her back.

"Senior, why are you here?"

Lying on Sid's chest, Himeragi Setsuna fought against the fatigue that kept surging in her body and asked intermittently.

It might be an illusion caused by physical weakness. In the eyes of Himeragi Setsuna, Sid's face seemed to freeze for a moment when he heard her question, but he just blinked and turned into an expression full of worry and tension.

"What do you think? You told me to be at ease, but how can I be at ease with such a big commotion?

I don’t know what you were thinking. This place is about to collapse, and the guards are all running for their lives, but you are still going to the bottom floor.

Stop talking, I'll take you upstairs now."

Sid said this, grabbed Himeragi Setsuna's hand, turned around and tried to pull Himeragi Setsuna to the upper level, but Himeragi Setsuna broke free.

"Clang—"

The Xuexia Wolf plunged into the ground, making a crashing sound.

Himeragi Setsuna supported her erect Snow Wolf and shook her head at Sid.

"Senior, you go up first. I have to go rescue someone now. There may be another person left down there."

“Xue Cai! If you go to save people now, you will only get yourself into trouble. Nothing is more important than your own life. Listen to me. I will take you up first, and then I will tell the guards about this and ask them to save people.”

Sid advised.

"Will the guards rescue her, Senior?"

Himeragi Setsuna asked back.

Yes, is it possible?

If they rescue that person now, there is still a 10% chance that he will survive, but by the time they reach the ground, that person's chance of survival will be zero.

Because by then the Cornerstone Gate would most likely have collapsed. Even if it hadn't collapsed, the guards wouldn't risk their lives breaking into a building that could collapse at any time.

"Senior, I am very grateful that you came to save me, but she saved my life, I must go to save her, Senior, you go up first, I will be there soon."

After taking two breaths, Himeragi Setsuna said this in a firm yet confused tone, and immediately turned around, wanting to continue going to the bottom floor. She didn't notice the look of sudden enlightenment that flashed across Sid's face after hearing Himeragi Setsuna's words.

"What does it look like?"

"Eh?!"

When Sid grabbed her shoulders and asked this question, Himeragi Setsuna made a puzzled sound.

"What? Come up. You don't know what your current condition is. You will only lose your life if you go alone. Tell me what she looks like, and I will help you save her."

Under Sid's dominance, Himeragi Setsuna subconsciously obeyed Sid's words, lay on Sid's back, and let Sid carry her.

"Blue hair, a girl as tall as my chest."

After whispering about Astaruti's appearance, Himehira Setsuna pursed her lips, and spoke again as Cid started running.

"Senior, do you think we can survive?

Or you should just put me down, you can definitely survive on your own, I don’t want to kill you.”

Sid sighed as he felt the clothes on his back begin to get wet.

After all, she is still a little girl, so give her a little encouragement.

Sid thought so and spoke in an encouraging tone.

"Of course we can, of course we can go back alive."

“But this place is about to collapse…”

"Hey, Xuecai, I promise you that this building will never collapse before we return to the ground, and I will bring you back to the ground in the end, okay? If possible, can you please shut up? I also want to... survive."

At the end, he responded with a trembling and fearful voice, which was more in line with the character of a supporting actor.

Himeragi Setsuna was lying on Sid's back at the moment, so she didn't see Sid's face, which was completely inconsistent with the fear, panic, anxiety and other emotions in his voice, but instead full of indifference.

But precisely because she didn't see it, Himeragi Setsuna's confused heart after the battle with Rudolph finally calmed down because of Sid's words at this moment.

No one knows what kind of mood Himeragi Setsuna was in when she ran down here, including herself.

Setsuna Himeragi is very grateful to Astralude for saving her, but would she really risk her life and rush to the underground layer just because she didn't see Astralude on the ground?

She didn't know, she didn't know, she might hesitate for a few seconds before coming down, or she might give up saving Astraluti because of fear of death.

But it is absolutely impossible to enter the cornerstone door that may collapse at any time to save Astraette without even thinking about it.

Because this was a journey to death, she was taken to the mountains by the Lion King Agency when she was only an hour old, and she just left now to monitor the Fourth True Ancestor. How could someone who had just tasted the beauty of the world so easily ignore the word "death"?

Unless, she entered the Cornerstone Gate with the idea of ​​dying.

At the bottom of the Cornerstone Gate, when Rudolph told her the true purpose of the Lion King Agency sending her to monitor the Fourth True Ancestor, she didn't know what to do.

Himeragi Setsuna has never been stupid. There are so many strange things about this mission that she, the person involved, can guess the general idea at any time if she wants to. However, she has always been playing ostrich and is unwilling to think about it.

But after Rudolph made it clear, even if she didn't want to think about it, she knew the truth that the Lion King organization that saved her, taught her, and raised her was planning to send her to Akatsuki Kojo.
