Chapter 394 [0391] The Real Purpose Is Revealed

The shadow fog enveloped the entire fortress.

This time, the shadow fog was no longer a light smoke that would disperse at the touch of a light.

Even when Lux suddenly turned back and tried to break through the shadow fog as before, under the irradiation of strong light, the shadow was pierced, but it did not disperse. Instead, it remained like jelly, being penetrated by the light beam.

This made Lux quite embarrassed.

If she entered the shadow, she might be attacked by Mordekaiser at any time; if she did not enter the shadow, Mordekaiser would have slipped into the fortress under the cover of the shadow. If he really found a passage to leave the shadow world, it would be really troublesome!

In desperation, Lux could only put on a layer of dark light shield, carefully guarded, and entered the shadow fog little by little.

Karya was with Ino, and now Lux could only rely on herself.

Because she was in such a hurry before, Lux didn't have time to visit the interior of the fortress, so like Morteng, she didn't know the internal structure of the fortress or where the exit of the Shadow Realm was. From this perspective, this was still a "fair competition".

……………………

Carefully stepping on the stone steps, Lux followed the wall, went up and down step by step, and walked carefully in the narrow corridor inside the fortress.

This is where the soul warriors usually live and train.

Speaking of which, since seeing these soul-shaped warriors, Lux has been wondering what they do in their spare time.

A group of souls that don't need to eat or drink... Have they been so nervously preparing for battle in the endless years in the past?

How did they endure it?

Although she has experienced the pinnacle, if Lux is asked to be on guard and defend against possible demons for thousands of years, Lux thinks that she may not be able to hold on.

Leaving their homeland alone was enough to make Lux cry miserably all night while holding Ino. If they had really held on for a thousand years like these soul warriors, considering the distortion of time in the Shadow Realm...

It was simply a bit desperate just to think about it.

To be able to hold on until today, what kind of tenacity and perseverance do these soul warriors have to be able to revive again and again and fight again with their weapons?

In a trance, Lux seemed to see these soul warriors wearing armor and ready for battle every day.

These cramped rooms and narrow passages were the only places where they could move freely in these long years. Surrounded by endless darkness, they could only hold on here, day after day, year after year...

Thinking of this, Lux felt that the rough and cold stone wall behind her seemed to have temperature at this moment. In the dark shadows around her, she seemed to see countless busy figures, maintaining equipment and daily training. They passed by here and talked and laughed on the city wall.

They didn't know what changes had taken place in the outside world, what had happened to their relatives and friends, and when their watch would end, but they were still trapped in a cycle, repeating the same thing day after day...

An indescribable, empathetic melancholy made Lux's nose sour. She subconsciously wanted to wipe her eyes, but when she raised her hand, a lightsaber appeared in her palm.

The sudden strong light once again cut through the darkness around her. Lux's eyes were still a little glittering, but her hands did not hesitate at all. As a pair of extremely sharp shadow blades emerged from the darkness, Lux's lightsaber also slashed down.

"Zheng--"

The intersection of light and darkness made an amazing sound of metal.

With the help of the thrust of the weapons, Lux leaned back and finally leaned against the stone wall; at the same time, Morteng on the other side also retreated and disappeared into the dark shadow mist.

The laughter echoed among the shadows. With her back against the cold stone wall, Lux felt a sense of fear.

Without Karya's reminder, she would have almost fallen into the devil's trap!

Lux ​​never expected that positive emotions could be guided by the devil and become the trigger to lure herself into a nightmare!

Now that she thinks about it, the memory just now may prove that Lux's biggest fear is not death, but the confusion and loneliness of the unknown road ahead.

With this feeling, Mordekaiser secretly guided Lux's emotions, almost making her unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and finally dragged into an eternal nightmare!

And now, although Lux realized the problem at the last moment and attacked in time to get rid of Mordekaiser's suggestion, her heart was still beating faster - without Karya's help, she had such a clear and intuitive feeling about the devil for the first time!

Shaking her head, Lux dismissed these messy thoughts from her mind, patted her face gently, and tried to concentrate completely.

Now is not the time to feel sad! Lux!

Pay attention, the demon may attack at any time!

However, Mordekaiser's attack did not appear, but a whisper of the demon came from the shadows nearby.

"You also have weaknesses in your heart, little girl." After what he had just done, Nocturne seemed to have become more confident as a demon. "Afraid of having no one to accompany you, afraid that all your efforts are meaningless, tsk tsk tsk, you are really a person who worries about gains and losses. Where’s the little girl?”

Nocturne was trying to use words to influence Lux's judgment.

But unfortunately, this method has no practical significance for Lux.

During the simulation training, Lux had faced many sharp-tongued enemies - who made her teacher such an unforgiving character?

In this case, it is difficult for Lux to be influenced by words and lose judgment during the battle. For Lux, provocation is undoubtedly meaningless!

However, even so, Lux did not directly taunt back, but pretended to be seriously injured, limping towards the place where the sound came from, looking like she was going to split the shadow directly!

"Hehehehehehahaha!"

When Lux's attack missed, Nocturne burst out laughing.

"I have found your weakness!" it declared confidently, "Now, the offensive and defensive forces are different!"

However, Lux, who had already gotten the answer she wanted, did not make any response - she seemed to have found the next battle idea, and was just on guard in the silence and darkness, waiting for Nocturne to reveal a flaw.

At the same time, Nocturne's body finally disappeared into the darkness, and it was preparing to launch a new round of fatal attacks, or directly find the key exit from the Shadow Realm.

This is destined to be the ultimate competition of courage, wisdom and patience.

……………………

Different from the intrigue on Lux's side, the development of things on Ino and Kalya's side seemed to be somewhat "simple and rough".

If the battle on Lux's side is a chicken-eating contest in the dark forest, then the battle on Ino's side is an out-and-out racing competition.

I don’t know how Evelin determined the direction of leaving the passage of the Shadow Realm. Anyway, since it made up its mind to leave, its steps have not stopped at all. It can be called a meteor along the way, leaving a series of ripples on the liquid shadow before running quickly. Got out.

Behind Evelin, Vayne, with the help of Shadow, fell not far behind - although her running speed was not as fast as Evelin's Snow-Treading Wuhen, this was her home court after all. After accepting the power of shadow, Vayne can be regarded as half the master of this world, so she can often use some seemingly strange methods to close the distance between herself and Evelin.

Obviously, every step of Vayne's steps was not too big, but the distance she moved was far beyond that of ordinary people. In this case, even if Evelin walked on the snow without leaving a trace, she still couldn't get rid of Vayne.

A few steps behind Vayne, there was Ino, who was skating with Kalya all the way. It seemed that due to her bloodline of ice, Ino was naturally proficient in many ice sports. For example, right now, she was stepping on a big piece of ice. The ice floe followed Vayne not far behind smoothly.

Holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, Ino stared at Vayne and Evelin in front of him, while tilting his head from time to time to look at Tam, who was almost on par with him not far away.

That's right, Tam didn't fall behind in this chase.

Although it seems that Tam's short hands and short legs are not very good at running, and his round body is terrifyingly bulky, but to him, the world is a river, and as the king of the river, he can often choose freely. The place to "come ashore".

By "taking shortcuts" by escaping into the river, Tam was thrown away several times and tenaciously caught up with him several times. Although he could remain at the bottom of the team, at least he was not in danger of falling behind.

In this way, Evelin, Vayne, Ino and Tamra formed a medium-sized battle line, running straight towards the nearest temporary exit from the Shadow Realm.

For Evelin, this is a bright road to escape from death.

For Vayne, this is an inevitable result for revenge.

For Ino, this is the gradually unfolding map of Yan.

For Tam, it was a buffet of hearty but not too easy on the mouth.

While you were chasing me and running away, Evelin quickly came to a place where it was obvious that something was wrong with the surrounding environment.

The shadows here are relatively thin, and the space seems unstable. If nothing else, there should be an exit to the outside world.

Without any hesitation, Evelin ran straight to the most unstable place in the space.

And almost at the same time Evelin started to act, the ice floe under Ino's feet also accelerated suddenly - here she no longer needed Evelin to guide the direction, with Kalya making the judgment, she even took one step ahead of Evelin. , rushed out of the Shadow Realm from this unstable exit.

Ino's sudden acceleration startled Evelin. Among the pursuers behind her, the one she was most confused about was the ice elemental mage. It didn't know what Ino's purpose was, let alone what measures Ino would take. method, so even if she was chased away like a rabbit, Evelin still had some strength left in case of emergencies.

As a result, just when he was about to escape, this dangerous mage slipped out first...

There is a problem, there is definitely a problem!

It's a pity that no matter what the problem is, Evelin now has no choice.

If he doesn't leave the Shadow Realm for a while, the nasty Vayne will follow it like a gangrene, and Tam will follow with greed.

If you want to find a safe place to lick your wounds, you must leave the Shadow Realm!

Forget it, anyway, this temporary secondary plane entrance and exit is not anchored somewhere in Runeland - in the entire Shadow Realm, only the "main gate" guarded by the fortress and Runeland have a certain relationship, and other entrances and exits to the Shadow Realm are temporary.

So, even though Ino left just one step ahead of Evelynn, the difference in the positions of both parties after returning to Runeland may be quite large.

Thinking of this, Evelynn took this step without hesitation and rushed out of this temporary portal to leave the Shadow Realm.

After a moment of very familiar dizziness, when she opened her eyes again, Evelynn was surprised to find that she seemed to have come to a place she had never been before.

There was snow all over the sky and the north wind was biting.

Looking around, Evelynn only saw a white snowfield, as if there was nothing but white here.

Looking blankly at the dazzling whiteness around her, at this moment, Evelynn, who was already seriously injured, seemed to have a short circuit in her brain.

Snow?

Could this be Freljord?

The portal of the Shadow Realm teleported me to Freljord?

Although she was full of doubts, Evelyn moved quickly - almost as soon as she took a step, she hid her body... No way!

Evelyn, who was determined to recover from her injuries, never dreamed that one day she would stand in a snowy land, looking at everything around her blankly, but she couldn't even leave invisibly!

What's going on?

Why can't I be invisible?

Could it be that this is not Freljord, but a sub-plane with unique rules, and the passage just now is the passage connecting the Shadow Realm to other sub-planes?

Well, no, it's wrong!

It's not like that!

I clearly felt the familiar breath of the Rune Land outside the passage, and I even smelled the deliciousness of pain. How could it be wrong!

Since it's not a problem with the passage itself, it must be the annoying ice mage who is causing trouble!

Thinking of this, Evelyn finally shuddered.

If everything I saw was really the work of that ice mage, who could easily pull me into a world of ice and snow and also banned my ability to be invisible...

How is this possible!

Evelyn, unwilling to accept it, told herself that everything she saw was just an illusion, and tried to break through the illusion, but the fact is that no matter how hard she tried, she could only see this vast expanse of white snow...

Karlya's small class · Floating Ice:

Ino's floating ice is element-driven and can move forward on its own, which can be called an all-terrain ice skateboard.

PS. There are few updates this month, and it won't be like this next month!
