Chapter 412 Making More Shadows
𝑛𝗈𝐯𝑒𝓵𝑛𝐄xt.𝗰𝒐𝓜
A figure appeared, moving through trees. It then kicked a branch and launched itself into the air. It could be seen moving towards him; the glint of moonlight shone in his purple eyes, making them appear even more beautiful. After reaching its maximum height, its body started to fall. The figure opened his arms and disappeared.
The next moment, a shadow of a bat appeared that kept moving forward, flapping its wings. It bypassed the lake before it and kept moving. After a moment, it stopped. A creature appeared before him. It was a humanoid creature with scales on its body and its face covered in a mask. Its green reptilian eyes shone at night, making it visible.
The bat passed by it, but the figure didn’t react as if nothing was uncommon. It kept moving and surveyed the area. Similar to the creature before, various others like him were guarding the area. There were hundreds of them as the bat moved toward the center. As security increased, strange, thin, blue-colored humanoid creatures became visible, wearing strange feathered headbands on their heads.
Large creatures with bat-like wings could be seen near them. They were mostly red-colored with black patterns. As the bat moved further, completely ignoring everyone else, its eyes fell on the two strange creatures with odd yellow skin. Their bodies were covered in strange tattoos, and a bigger mask with precious materials hid their appearance.
Their eyes were completely white, oozing blue light. They could be seen drinking something in their cups. The bat encircled around them and checked everything. It then stood in its place, not moving even an inch. Around the camp, black-colored creatures flashed out of the shadows.
They hid themselves in shadows and approached their opponents without alerting them, but they didn’t attack. Still waiting for something, the eyes of the bat that had not moved from its place shone purple. It approached the two yellow-skinned humanoid creatures with thin bodies and few reptilian features.
Bat kept approaching them, but strangely, no one could sense it even from close. It then suddenly transformed into a human. A black-colored, ring-shaped circle appeared around them with a purple border. Next, multiple strange black-colored chains appeared with a dagger attached at the front.
This all happened so fast that no one had time to react. The chains passed through the bodies of both priests. They only realized it when they felt pain all over their body. Before they could even open their mouths to release their cry, a fast sword danced through the air and bypassed them.
‘Drop’
The next moment their heads fell, and the soldiers around them attacked their opponent, but similar chains appeared from the area behind them and held them in place. The figure holding the sword disappeared, and a black-colored ray flashed by the soldiers. It kept moving towards the other opponents.
The bodies of the soldiers through whom the figure had flashed split into multiple pieces. It then flashed through other opponents, and the bodies kept falling. “Roar” chaos descended all over the camp. The Lizardman started rushing at the opponent, releasing murderous intent at him.
The face of the figure hidden in shadows was revealed, and his lips curled up into a smirk as if finding the response of its opponents stupid. Its eyes closed before its curtains were rereleased, and his eyes became visible again, this time covered in a red hue.
Red smoke released from its body and rose before turning into a giant eye placed vertically. The enraged
opponents kept rushing, ignoring everything. Just as they were close to the boy, the image of the eye behind him became complete.
Its red-colored eyeball spun, and the small black-colored pupil expanded, looking like a mini black hole. A strange presence was released from it in the next moment. The killing intent released from it was like a flood of killing intent had appeared. The opponent hit by it shook.
The rage in them vanished. Their eyes, looking at the opponent angrily and wanting to tear him apart, were now filled with horror. The hands of the marksmen that had their bamboo pipes pointed towards him shook; some closed their eyes and shot some darks, praying that they hit him.
A black-colored barrier appeared around the boy, deflecting all the darts. The smirk on the boy’s face became bigger. The eye behind him shook, and the black hole-like pupil grew further, releasing more killing intent; the opponents’ bodies started shaking.
Most of them stopped in their tracks, while some fell, holding their chests. Their bodies stopped moving, losing any traces of life. The boy disappeared again and appeared behind an opponent, slashing his sword before disappearing. He again turned into a bolt of lightning that dashed through his opponents.
‘Sword Dash’ worked very well while facing multiple opponents. It was even more powerful when opponents were in a state where they couldn’t move to dodge it. Once it connected, its cooldown was reset. Despite being a weak technique, this skill became popular as a skilled user could defeat multiple opponents easily.
The shadow creatures started charging at the opponents, who had all their focus on the figure in the middle. This unexpected ambush of such a number took them by surprise. A rain of spears and arrows hit the Wyvern Riders that were about to move up; most of them were injured.
Some that were able to move higher received ambush of opponents flying cavalry. They had multiple black-colored wyverns with a purple flame inside their eyes. They looked stronger and had a strange ability to dodge attacks; the riders on their backs threw multiple ‘javelins’ at them.
Shadow Wyvern crashed into the Wyvern riders, unconcerned about getting injured. The Wyvern riders, unfortunately didn’t have the same defenses and regeneration as their counterparts. Fighting in close range was not their forte; to make matters worse, the rain of arrows and spears has not stopped.
Many of them hit the Shadow Wyverns too, but the only difference was that these black-colored spells and arrows passed by their bodies as if they were illusions. While the cavalry of the Lizardman tribe were getting slaughtered in the air, the condition of the infantry was no better.
The shadow figure flashing through was already hard to deal with. The uncountable shadow creatures made it only worse, but what made the situation hell were the strange humanoid shadow creatures carrying a staff across the battle field.
They released strange spells that turned the dead Lizardman into shadow creatures; they also used spells to heal the shadow creatures and boost their strength. This battle continued for a few minutes before a spear covered in ice peered through the head of the last Lizardman.
The boy laughed, opening his arm and enjoying the scene, his body covered in blood and the strange eyes behind him shoning red. A red-colored presence sucked away from the area and was absorbed by the eye. It shone brighter one more time before turning into a cloud of red mist and entering the body of the boy.
The red glow shining in the boy’s eyes disappeared, and his body shook. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he looked different. There was no trace of joy in his face; instead, he felt disgust. He used a cleanse spell before using ‘Shadow Casting’ to turn the rest of the corpses into shadow creatures.
