Chapter 392 [0389] Hunter and Prey
Demons are born from extreme emotions, so naturally they cannot overcome the extreme emotions that are the source of their birth.
Tam cannot contain his greed.
When Evelyn exposed her weakness, Tam could hardly hide his greed and desire for her.
Devouring each other among demons is a common phenomenon in the Azakana stage.
Newly born Azakana are just fragile spirits. They have no entity or body. They can only absorb the host's extreme emotions while trying to devour their own kind.
Then, as the Azakana gradually grows, they begin to absorb emotions selectively, and the behavior of devouring their own kind will gradually decrease - it's not that they will no longer devour each other after they really grow into demons, but that there is nothing left to devour around.
Demons at this stage will have consciousness, and their memories often begin at this time. They will not remember the ignorant and chaotic things when they were still Azakana, but the instinct to devour their own kind will be deeply engraved in the instincts of every demon.
As a greedy demon, Tam's desire for this kind of devouring is obviously more intense than that of other demons.
In other words, Tam's desire for any "object worthy of being devoured" is unstoppable.
Now, the seriously injured Evelyn is a perfect object worthy of being devoured.
Hit head-on by the fatal ice blade fragments without any defense, Evelyn's well-proportioned demon body has no longer any grace, and the remaining is only miserable.
What's worse is that the light element that burst out at the same time also prevents her wounds from healing quickly!
In this situation, Tam's desire for Evelyn is almost turned into reality. If he is not careful at this time, a black-eating-black game will be staged on the spot.
Evelyn, who sensed the bad news, quickly hid her figure and took the initiative to avoid the Shadow River, so as not to become Tam's devouring target and be feasted on.
With the disappearance of Evelyn, Tam, who lost his target, gradually regained some reason.
Without the tempting target to devour, Tam was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved. He withdrew his gaze from the ripples on the Shadow River and looked at the fortress not far away again.
Lux had stepped on the ice steps and climbed up the wall of the fortress steadily.
The ice shell covering the fortress cracked a gap, allowing Lux to enter, and then closed tightly. After seriously injuring Evelynn, it seemed that the other party had made up their minds to defend steadily.
Seeing this scene, Tam couldn't help smacking his lips.
What a tricky enemy.
Patient mortals who are not eager for quick success are the kind that Tam hates the most.
He finally organized a three-party cooperation, but now he can't continue... This taste is too uncomfortable.
Then, just as Tam was thinking about what to do next, two shouts came from the darkness not far away.
"You?"
"It's a done deal!"
……………………
The extremely embarrassed Evelyn hid her figure and moved away from Tamm who was about to lose control.
The remnants of the light element were burning its wounds, curbing the recovery ability of the demon body. It needed to find a safe place to wash away the strong light with shadows, and then slowly heal the torn flesh.
Stepping on the cat steps, Evelyn fled while gritting her teeth. She swore that she must catch the two mages and their closest people, torture them in the most painful way, and let these two bastards see clearly what a tragic end it would be if they provoked the demon!
Then, just when she was out of Tamm's sight, left the Shadow River, found a relatively safe place, and immersed herself completely in the liquid shadow, an arrow appeared quietly and hit Evelyn's shoulder socket with incomparable accuracy.
The arrow was pitch black, and it shuttled silently in the shadows. It was not until it came to Evelyn's eyes that the Pain Demon discovered the sneak attack, so that he didn't even have a chance to dodge and was hit directly!
Evelyn hurriedly got up, pulled out the arrow, and looked in the direction where the arrow flew. The next moment, she widened her eyes in astonishment, because not far away, a familiar but unfamiliar figure was stepping on the liquefied shadow and rushing towards her.
It's Vayne!
"You?" Evelyn was stunned, "You're not dead yet?"
Evelyn was very sure that when she took back the power of the demon seed, she also took away a lot of Vayne's vitality. In addition, the opponent's shoulder was completely pierced and lost a lot of blood. Even if someone treated him, he would never survive.
But now, this person who was doomed to die appeared alive and well not far from Evelyn, and even took the initiative to sneak attack and hit Evelyn with an arrow!
This... what's going on?
Vayne snorted with pleasure and disdain, and rolled on the ground when Evelyn was trying to see her true colors.
The next moment, liquid shadows splashed on the ground, and when they fell again, Vayne's figure had disappeared!
Invisible?
In this situation, Evelyn had no time to think about it, so she could only hide her body at the same time - she was used to attacking the enemy from the dark, and naturally knew the consequences of being attacked from the dark. Although the arrow just now was not too serious for Evelyn, it did not intend to foolishly take a few more arrows.
The two fighters met each other, and then they became invisible one after the other, which made the battle look a little weird.
However, unlike Evelynn who could hide herself for a long time, after a while, the shadow dissipated and Vayne finally appeared again.
Evelynn, hiding in the dark, took the opportunity to wait for the wound to heal while carefully looking at the target that she had injected with the demon seed.
The hole where Evelynn's tail stinger had pierced before had not healed. The shadow that seemed to be a solid body was centered on the big hole, and it was like a blood vessel, weaving a layer of "tattoo" on Vayne's body surface. This layer of shadow tattoo seemed to be the source of energy for Vayne's target.
The torn cloak was replaced by a flowing shadow. When Vayne just rolled over, it was it that helped Vayne hide her tracks and made Evelynn unable to determine Vayne's existence and location.
From this perspective, Vayne's current state seems to be somewhat similar to Nocturne.
Hmm, wait, it's similar to Nocturne?
Evelyn remembered that when she first entered the Shadow Realm, Nocturne easily found her location, and she was immediately shocked. However, before it could move and quickly move, Vayne looked at where Evelyn was, and without hesitation, she pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
"It's a done deal!"
Kalya's small class · Shadow transformation:
Shadow transformation is also a kind of elementalization. Although the liquefied shadow of the Shadow Realm is not as pure as the pure elements, it is also a high-concentration element - so, just as Sefiqa replaced his heart with a fragment of monolith to gain amazing power, Vayne, who embraced the shadow, also successfully crossed the threshold of the extraordinary.
Of course, just like Sefiqa, this power always has a price.
