Chapter 109

‘Devil King Shadow’ was a mighty eccentric kind of devil creature . According to the rumors, it had a human appearance, but was a dark red . Its appearance could change . On a daily basis, it liked to hide in the shadows, not because of an ambush or a sneak attack, but simply because it liked to do so .

Some people said that it belonged to the dead spirit kind of demons . Hence, its spirit was full of resentment toward humans . Despite having frightening strength that could destroy a mountain, it liked to use the method of swallowing vitality to kill its target . Moreover, its scariest ability was polluting and tying the spirit of one of its victims, and then turning the spirit into a black shadow soldier .

This terrifying devil creature had been in the Ash Forest for more than two hundred years . It launched attacks on the exploiting villages . It had even crossed mountains to get to the Gold Coin Federation to massacre rashly . That year, it had destroyed several cities in one go, making the guardian God of the Gold Coin Federation, the God of Business and Wealth, send down his avatar . He just drove it back temporarily .

Since then, except for the name – ‘Shadow Devil Creature’ , it had another alias – ‘Devil King Shadow’ . Some villains even worshiped it and used living people as sacrifices to receive daggers which had been soaked with highly intoxicated Shadow Power .

It was a typical representative of the evil force in the Ash Forest . It and other kinds of evil or devil creatures established a high-class violence group in the Ash Forest .

As for Snowflake the Ice Dragon, strictly speaking, she was still very far from this group .

Therefore, when the Devil King Shadow suddenly attacked, although two mighty powerhouses of the Highness Hollow Mask’s church were here, they couldn’t effectively resist .

At that time, it was a bright sunny day . Rhodes was training the newly recruited exploiters . Even though they wouldn’t start until the warm summer began, if they wanted to exploit the village in the bitter cold north, they had to deal with the potential dangers in this Ash Forest, which was not an easy thing to do . Hence, they needed to train often, so everybody would know how to deal in a normal circumstance and how to react under special situations to increase the success rate of the exploitation and avoid failure .

Anyway . . . If it failed, it would cost several hundreds of people their lives!

They established a temporary village a short distance away from the north Black Rye Town . The villagers were in a hurry, doing many unnecessary things to prepare for the exploitation later on .

Gerrard led a bunch of robust men to train them how to fight . Their basic goal was not establishing a group to exploit a village, but establishing a church for Highness Hollow Mask . Therefore, they needed a group of humans that could fight to build a group of knights to protect the church .

Snowflake was handling the government affairs, which were mostly financial affairs, goods, and human resources . She really hated these complicated jobs . But before Sui Xiong could find Parn the Knight, who was said to be very good at government affairs, and brought him back, this job could be done by her or Rhodes . Rhodes was also in charge of training the commoners . As compared to the boring government affairs, this job was more boring and cumbersome, especially the communication with a bunch of foolish people who lacked education and drove him insane .

Snowflake had tried once . As a result, she discovered that those guys didn’t know a simple concept like “about” . It took her several days to generalize this concept to them . In the end, she almost killed them due to her anger . From that point onward, even though Rhodes was willing to discuss business with her, she didn’t want to talk to him .

Graupel and Frost were still looking for a suitable location for the exploitation . They had temporarily found several targets . It was just that they were still not very satisfied . Hence, they continued heading north to look and didn’t come back for the time being .

Therefore, Graupel had protested a few times with all kinds of reasons like “lack of sleep is the enemy of beauty” or “Kids that lack sleep could not grow tall”, and similar ones like that . Meanwhile, Frost all along wore a wretched face which was clearly written with the words “I am not happy” .

In fact, they were not the only ones who were not happy, the armored man – Phil was very discontent with the fact that he had to watch the store, reducing his time of caring for the garden of the God Shrine . However, his personality was kind and easy-going .

Originally, today would have passed by like any other day without having anything special happen, boring as usual . In that peaceful morning, a variation happened out of nowhere .

From the shadow in a room, a dark red shape appeared and snickered peculiarly . As he swung his arm up, countless dark shadows, small and big, spread all over the village, and started attacking all the living creatures around .

In a blink, the exploiting team that Rhodes had a hard time recruiting had been killed and injured by half . Less than one third of them luckily escaped from the attack of the black shadow soldiers .

But the black shadow soldiers emerged nonstop . Their number increased dramatically .

When seeing this sight, Rhodes was so angry that his eyes reddened . He took out the dagger, and killed this group of black shadow soldiers without saying anything . After Gerrard swung up his battle-ax one round to beat the black shadow soldier, he hurriedly ran around the village, trying his best to destroy these unexpected monsters to protect the villagers .

The one who could truly improve this situation was Satan . He immediately figured out the problem and activated the magic scroll he had prepared carefully in advance . He shot more than ten light balls which emitted an eye-glaring light like the sun everywhere over the village . All the light sources were interwoven with each other, which erased the majority of the black shadows outside the room .

As for the people inside the room, there were not many left anyway . . .

His black art was very accurate . It immediately blocked the black shadow soldiers who came and left like ghosts . The fighting force of these black shadow soldiers was not too strong either . They relied completely on their ability of commuting between the Shadow Surface and the Main Surface to launch a sudden attack that made people unable to resist . At this moment, the entire shadow disappeared; many black shadow soldiers who were moving were cut off turned into a fog and then disappeared without a trace .

The dark red shadow let out an angry shriek . In a flash, one fifth of its black shadow soldiers were killed . This could be considered heavy damage .

Hence, he took action itself, turned into a pitch black shadow, flying over Satan, who was casting magic .

It happened quick as there was no sign of it coming; Satan couldn’t react on time .

Facing a demon which had been massacring rashly in the mortal world for hundreds of years, the few layers of protection magic that he had prepared beforehand became useless .

Within just one strike, his body was crushed to pieces like a paper cut messily by scissors . Blood overflowed from countless wounds . But before he fell to the ground, he had been sucked up . In a blink, his entire body became dried like a wood block, heavily dropping to the ground and breaking into pieces .

At this moment, Satan had just reacted . Facing a sudden death, he felt really calm .

“Ah! . . Is this death? Ha ha, it seems like it’s not scary at all . . . “

But it was very obvious that he had been calm too soon . A flow of black air poured out of the dark red shadow, and strongly entangled his spirit . The deep negative energy was like a crazy ocean flooding over his spirit . Almost in a blink, his spirit was completely infected with the negative energy and was distorted by the evil spirit .

Before getting infected and transforming, he only had time to say one prayer . “My master! Please save my spirit!”

Having killed Satan in one move and infecting his spirit, the dark red black shadow demon was able to release some of its anger this time, immediately turning its eyes to the target with a lower value .

For example, the giant dragon appeared with cold air and looked shiny like a snowflake, or the angrily roaring giant that was carrying a battle-ax .

Snowflake and Gerrard could almost feel the existence of the Devil King Shadow . They coincidentally stormed toward it . They spurted out an extremely cold ice fire, which was specially built in the battle-ax to release an abundance of God Power . These cone-shaped ice flames turned into cold ice, surrounding the dark red Devil King, while the glittering golden battle-ax was like a lightning bolt, advancing to chop it down .

They were both legendary powerhouses . The power of their untied strike made people terrified . But toward the Devil King Shadow, such a strike was useless . As the dark red shadow swung its arm up, the bad energy turned into a shockwave, beating the ice flame, shattering it into pieces, creating a big snowfall . But Gerrard couldn’t even come any closer . He and his battle-ax were knocked away, continuously bumping into several wooden houses, making them collapse, and then falling into a pile of ruins .

The power of the Devil King Shadow was unimaginable!

One strike could break the joined force of Snowflake and Gerrard . The dark red Devil King Shadow laughed triumphantly, his dreary eyes locked on Snowflake .

A spirit of an ice dragon doesn’t seem like a bad collectible .

But before it could attack again, an explosive sound like thunder along with a blue lightning bolt descended from the sky, ferociously charging toward it .

Sui Xiong was still motionless in the air, constantly absorbing the dark power, at the same time converting them into God Power to enhance his power . This was his cultivation, which was the same as the first time at the Ice-Cold oceanic trench .

Because he had immersed himself in cultivating, when the Devil King Shadow attacked, he didn’t react immediately . Long until his believers suffered from heavy damages, he then suddenly woke up from his cultivation and descended as fast as he could .

But when he landed on the ground, Satan had already been killed, and Snowflake and Gerrard had been defeated .

Sui Xiong almost went crazy due to his anger . He began speeding up as he ferociously sent down a thunderous God Power flow without saying a word .

Due to his exceedingly fast speed, he even destroyed the wall of sound, creating a big explosion .

The thunderous God Power had a tracking effect, so there was no possibility of avoiding it . The Devil King Shadow seemed to know Sui Xiong’s situation too . It didn’t have any intention of avoiding it and swung its arm up . A dark energy from the deep shadow was like a tide that flew into the sky, confronting the beat from the thunderous God Power .

Two flows of powers collided fiercely, but there was no sound coming from them . Instead, the space around was vaguely distorted . A sight of the Surface Shadow could be seen in the distortion .

When both sides launched the first move, the barrier layer of the Main Surface was broken down . A path to the Shadow Surface was opened .

But that was just the beginning . At most half a second later, a giant tentacle which was like an ancient tree poking through the sky went straight toward the dark red shadow .

At this moment, the angry roar of Sui Xiong was transmitted to the ground .

“Go to Hell!”
