"This is the Shadow Corridor?"
Frius walked through the dim tunnel, leaving the Door of Death far behind him. The panicked guide followed closely behind the Black Emperor, occasionally letting out a scream or two. There were glowing fungi in the tunnel that provided a weak light, but this bit of light was enough to illuminate the world in Frius's eyes. Therefore, he could clearly see the space in front of him distort like a water curtain. Following that, jade flames flashed, and a tall green figure crossed the air.
It was like the legendary centaur, but it had a crocodile-like head on its humanoid upper body. Frius was no stranger to such creatures. Before entering the Door of Death, the guide had warned him that he would encounter Shadow Guards. This creature was a Shadow Guard. Most of its body was transparent and assimilated with its surroundings. However, its body flowed with green molten flames, causing green stripes to appear on the guard's body. The guard roared and pounced forward. What welcomed it was Lightless's sword in Frius's hand. Lightless's sword seemed to be invisible as it slashed a thin black line across the guard's body.
The green patterns on the guard's body suddenly dimmed. Then, its body fell to the ground and scattered into pieces. Guards like this kept jumping out of the void in the Shadow Corridor and pounced at Frius with loud roars. The tunnel, which was originally quite spacious, became extremely crowded after nearly a hundred guards were stuffed in. Frius strolled forward as Lightless scattered black lines. The Black Emperor charged all the way to the end.
The guide behind looked at Frius as though he was looking at a god. Those terrifying Shadow Guards didn't even have the chance to release their abilities before they were killed by Frius's sword.
In the blink of an eye, Frius was almost at the end when he suddenly stopped. There were no more guards. After entering the Door of Death, these Shadow Guards had constantly crossed the void and arrived. Frius had more or less figured out that there were many wormholes in the Shadow Corridor. These wormholes were very strange. They were unidirectional, and they could only be opened from the other side, but not from this side. This might be a special ability of the Shadow Fiends. They could use the wormholes that covered the ground to allow Shadow Guards to appear in any Shadow Corridor in an extremely short period of time.
"Interesting," Frius said indifferently. Frius said calmly, "They actually have such spatial technology. Could this be the so-called treasure vault?"
The reason why he stopped was because he sensed that a wormhole had quietly opened up in front of him. This was a two-way wormhole. Its structure was very stable, so it could not be seen with the naked eye. However, in Frius' perception, the distribution of Origin Energy in that place was clearly very strange, so it was clear to him at a glance. He was sure that it was a trap set up by the Shadow Fiends, but the Black Emperor was not afraid. With a smile like a spring breeze, he stepped forward and disappeared into the tunnel.
When Frius stepped on the ground, he had already arrived in another space. Stepping out of the formless wormhole, a black ball of light exploded in front of him. The Black Emperor raised his sword and slashed. Wu Guang split the ball of light and the exploding energy into two. The energy drained into Origin Energy flames and shot out from both sides of him. Only then did Frius realize that he had suddenly come to a place that looked like a river valley from the gloomy underground.
Raising his head, the starry sky above him was brilliant, and there was a strange moonlight that shone down on a misty brilliance that was a combination of light purple and sky green. In the distance, the beautiful outline of the peak could be seen. Under the shadows of those mountains, an ancient palace was reflected in Frius' eyes. The palace was made of unknown stone. The main hall of the palace was a pointed structure, and a ball of green flames floated above the spire. Under the green flames, green energy flowed down from the top of the spire, spreading to every corner of the palace. Above the main hall, there was a tall narrow window that reflected the green light, like a polished gem. On both sides of the entrance to the main hall stood a statue. The statue was in the shape of a demon, each leaning on a large sword and a giant axe. It was as if two silent guards were guarding the entrance to the hall.
On both sides of the palace, there were many tall sharp pillars, each of which was embedded with a diamond-shaped emerald. Between the sharp stone pillars, as well as between the stone pillars and the palace, there were hanging chains. When the wind blew, the chains swayed and made clanking sounds.
"That's … the Shadow's Nest?" Frius muttered to himself before his gaze landed on the shadow monster not far away. This shadow monster that looked like a minotaur had a jade-green flame cape draped over its back, and it held a giant sword in its hand. Its body was a shadow substance of nothingness. However, its body was covered with a layer of rock armor. The thick rock armor was covered with spikes, and there were green flames flowing through it.
It was this thing that had attacked Frius when he stepped out of the wormhole.
"Shadow Arbiter?" Clearly, Frius had heard about the existence of this monster from the guide, and it was the guardian of the Shadow's Nest. Shadow Arbiters were obviously several levels higher than shadow guards. The minotaur on the other side roared, and the green flames on its body flashed continuously. It had already thrown its abilities at Frius. The Black Emperor's vision darkened, and it could not see anything. That was the effect of the Darkness Suffocation. Following that, an undercurrent surged, which was the sign of a dark energy explosion. Finally, blurry shadows streaked across the darkness like flowing water, but it was the effect of the Darkness Incarnation.
Unfortunately, these abilities that were enough to kill experts below Level 30 in an instant landed on Frius, but they could not even harm his skin and hair. The Black Emperor raised his sword and pierced forward. Whatever ability he had, it would be broken cleanly. The Darkness Suffocation was torn apart, and the dark energy explosion was annihilated into nothingness. A thin crack appeared on the chests of a few Darkness Incarnations, and before they could reach Frius, they twisted a few times and disappeared into the air.
At this moment, the shadow arbiter rushed over with large strides, raising its giant sword to slash. Frius glanced at it, but retracted his Lightless Light. Then, a few black rays of light pierced out from the body of the shadow arbiter, and then its entire body exploded.
Only then did Frius walk over and say indifferently, "You chose the wrong battlefield. No one is willing to fight me underground or in the dark. Even Spenak is unwilling to choose such a battlefield. After all, where there is darkness, it is my home ground. "
At this moment, shadow arbiters began to pour out of the main hall of the Shadow's Nest. These bull-headed giants continued to appear, and their numbers were endless. The sharp stone pillars around the palace began to tremble as well, and the connected chains began to sway incessantly. Shadow Devils continued to emerge from the sharp stone pillars, and a moment later, an army appeared in front of Frius.
The light behind Frius distorted, and then shadow guards pounced out. They sealed off the Black Emperor's retreat, and the army in front of them formed an encirclement. Thus, this Shadow Legion almost occupied the entire valley, and Frius seemed to be surrounded by a sea of rage.
"I told you it was a trap, but this trap of yours is not enough."
"Stranger, you are not welcome here. If you do not want to be buried in the shadows, it is best that you retreat immediately." An old but absolutely loud voice sounded in the palace of the Shadow's Nest, reminding people of a tall and mighty old man who was roaring angrily with his beard and hair standing on end.
Frius laughed coldly, and calmly said, "What a mystifying fellow. Either come out and see me, or wait for me to kill my way into the palace and have a good talk with you."
The Black Emperor did not seem to do anything, but suddenly, the group of shadow creatures closest to him ignited with black flames. The black flames then exploded out of their bodies and directly turned the group of shadow creatures into ashes.
The voice in the palace sounded again. "You are actually more proficient in manipulating the power of shadows than we are. There should not be someone like you in this ancient star field. Who exactly are you?"
"First of all, I am not manipulating shadows, but darkness. To be precise, it is the power of darkness, because that is my power of the rule. Secondly, you're right. I'm not from Fania. If you know this and still want to stay in that palace, I don't mind killing all the shadow creatures here. "Frius smiled." You should know that I'm not joking. "
A sigh sounded in the palace, and then a thin figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall. The shadow creatures made way for him, and that person walked in front of Frius. He was wearing a cloak woven from the skin of an unknown animal, and two thin hands stretched out from the cloak. There were only two green fluorescent lights flickering in the darkness in the hat.
Frius said, "So, you are the guardian? The guardian of the treasure vault? "
The person trembled, and said, "You actually know about the treasure vault and the guardian. Could it be that you are the Son of Dawn? But your weapon just now was not the Anthem of Ashes! Those who can use the power of the rule are Paragons. Who exactly are you? "
"My name is Frius, and many people call me the Black Emperor. But I am not some Son of Dawn. Since you are the guardian of the treasure vault, it is simple. "Frius stretched out his hand." Hand over the will of dusk, and I will leave immediately. "
The guardian's body trembled. "You are here for the will of dusk? No, the will of dusk must be handed over to the Son of Dawn. Other than that, no one can obtain it! "
The guardian suddenly screamed, but the lightless pierced through his body faster than his voice. However, Frius did not feel that he had stabbed anything solid. Soon, the body in the cloak disappeared, leaving only a cloak hanging on the Black Emperor's longsword. After taking off the cloak, Frius shook his head and said, "I do not like this answer."
Then, he walked toward the main hall.
In front of him were tens of thousands of shadow creatures!
"Kill him! Tear him apart! Do not let him take a step into the main hall! " In the palace of the Shadow Nest, the guardian's voice sounded again, and then the Shadow Army began to operate like a war machine.
