"How can this be? There's not a single guard?"
Brother Luo's face was full of doubt as he walked in a deep tunnel. He even suspected that he had led the wrong way, but the green paw prints that could be seen from time to time were clearly left by the Shadow Guards. Hence, the tunnel they were walking through was undoubtedly the Shadow Corridor. Moreover, the nameless glowing fungi emitted a purple fluorescence. Everything indicated that there were traces of a large number of Shadow Demons passing through this tunnel. Naturally, it was the Shadow Corridor.
The tunnel was rugged and full of stalagmites. Walking in it, one could only feel the stifling atmosphere. The green paw prints and the mushrooms that emitted purple fluorescence added a mysterious atmosphere to the tunnel. This was the Shadow Corridor, one of the many tunnels that the Shadow Demons used to reach the surface. Allen stopped and asked Brother Luo, "Will we reach the Shadow's Nest by following the Shadow Corridor?"
"No, it's far from that simple." Brother Luo gestured with his hand. "The Shadow Corridor is only a small part of the underground world. They are connected to the Hall of Shadows, which is a huge underground system consisting of karst caves, mountainsides, and tunnels. However, at the end of this journey, we will reach the Well of Stars. It's a huge gap deep underground that seems to lead to hell. The well is filled with well water from the underground veins, and you can see the shining stars in the well water. However, that doesn't mean that there are stars shining in the underground world. That's impossible. What they reflect is only the night sky where the Shadow's Nest is.
"The place where the Shadow's Nest is located looks like a huge river valley. There are flowing water, distant mountains, and even stars. There's also an underground well there. I jumped down from that well, but emerged from the Well of Stars underground. It's as if I've traveled through two different worlds. The wonders of it can't be felt unless you're personally involved. "
Allen narrowed his eyes and said, "It sounds like the Shadow's Nest isn't located underground, but there's some kind of spatial connection between the Shadow's Nest and the underground. The Well of Stars that you mentioned and the underground well of the Shadow's Nest are two interconnected portals. It seems like these shadow creatures have mastered some kind of advanced spatial technology. "
"If Purple Succubus is here, she should be able to transfer Sir to the Shadow's Nest," said Tini, who was glowing like an angel.
Allen looked up at the darkness in the distance. "The Shadow Guards are not in the corridor, and the underground world is terrifyingly quiet. It seems like Frius has entered the Shadow's Nest. I don't have the time to wait for a Purple Succubus. Moreover, it's not difficult to investigate the spatial network. "
As he spoke, a golden flame rose beneath Allen's feet. He closed his eyes slightly and spread out his perception. First, it permeated all tangible objects. Soon, the outline of a vast underground world appeared in his mind. After penetrating tangible objects, Allen began to sense the existence of space. As he had expected, the space of the underground world was not simple. If the subterranean world was viewed as a space, then there were many independent, parallel spaces within this space. When Allen extended his perception into these small spaces, he quickly discovered that these small spaces were interconnected. They were like countless tunnels in the underground world. Through any small space, one could reach any corner of the underground world.
Thus, these small spaces formed a three-dimensional transportation network, which was probably why the Shadow Demons could quickly reach the surface. These small spaces were completely open space passageways.
Then, at the bottom of all the spaces, Allen sensed another huge space. It was like a black hole. When Allen probed it with his perception, he could not penetrate it for a while. Thus, he continued to extend his perception. After a while, he felt like he was breaking out of the water. His perception finally reached out from that black hole-like space, and suddenly came into contact with an aura that was like a nebula, but filled with darkness and absolute darkness.
Allen suddenly opened his eyes. That was Frius' aura!
"Brother Luo, bring them to the Constellation Well. I have to go first. Frius has already reached the Shadow's Nest. I have to stop him immediately! "Before Allen could finish speaking, he had already turned into a golden rainbow and left. The golden rainbow flashed and suddenly disappeared into the air. It was a small space that Allen had probed.
Next, he used these small space passageways as jumping platforms. With his previous perception, he had already drawn up a route. Through these space passageways, Allen continuously went deeper into the underground world. These space passageways left behind by the Shadow Creatures were very stable, and the huge space in the underground world that was like a black hole should be the Constellation Well. The Constellation Well was completely a huge space passageway used to allow a large number of Shadow Demons to enter the surface from the Nest. Now, Allen even suspected that the Shadow's Nest was not on this planet, but somewhere else. Otherwise, why would there be a need to open such a huge space passageway to travel between two places?
Although he thought about it, his speed was not slow at all. When he stepped out of another small space, he was already standing in front of the so-called Constellation Well. Rather than calling it a well, it was more appropriate to call it a lake. This underground lake indeed reflected a scene of twinkling stars on the surface of the water. Then, he looked up, and above the lake was the dark dome of the underground. Apart from the scattered glowing fungi, there was nothing glowing. And the twinkling stars on the surface of the lake even formed a Milky Way, like a brilliant ribbon of light across the surface of the lake. It was not something that could be reflected by some glowing fungi.
Allen took a step out and dived into the lake, plunging into the sky full of stars. He continued to swim down, and gradually reached the bottom of the lake. At first, the lake was dark, like a bottomless abyss, but as Allen continued to go deeper, light began to appear below. Allen immediately increased his speed, and the brilliant starlight grew bigger and bigger in his eyes. Finally, he broke out of the water, and when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the night sky full of stars!
Just as Brother Luo had said, he appeared on the surface of another lake, but here, there was a light breeze, and the air was fresh. There was the sound of flowing water, and the night sky was filled with stars. It didn't look like the underground of the Sun Star at all. Allen broke out of the water and landed on the shore of the lake. Looking up, he saw a palace in the distance. The palace flickered with green flames, and then in front of the palace, Allen saw an army.
It was made up of countless shadow creatures, including the shadow guards and shadow arbitrators that Brother Luo had mentioned. They were fighting, and even though they were extremely far away, Allen could still see the eruption of energy storms!
The target of their battle was naturally Frius. Allen didn't dare to hesitate and let out a long roar that shook the night sky. Golden King Flames rose from the soles of his feet, and the Endless Sword Armor was draped over his body. Allen soared into the sky and landed on the other side of the palace in a golden rainbow.
The shadow army near the palace felt the majestic aura descending from the sky and immediately dispersed. Allen landed on the open space. He was already holding Anthem of Ashes in his hand, and he pointed the flaming longsword straight at the palace gate. Beside the gate, Frius was lifting the guardian with one hand, and the lightless longsword had already sunk into his chest. The two green flames in the guardian's hat suddenly flourished. He saw Anthem of Ashes in Allen's hand and immediately understood.
"Son of Dawn, stop him! He's going to seize the will of dusk!"
Frius swept his longsword, and the blade came out of the guardian's cloak. The two halves of the guardian's body immediately ignited with green flames, and he fell to the ground with a scream. After a while, he lost all signs of life. Allen's eyes turned cold. Since that person called him the Son of Dawn and had spoken of Frius's intentions, this place was indeed the fourth royal vault. Now that the guardian had been killed by Frius, Allen was naturally not in a good mood.
The shadow creatures seemed to have been implanted with some kind of order long ago. When they saw Anthem of Ashes in Allen's hand, they first placed a shadow arbitration greatsword on the ground and then half-knelt before Allen. Then, all the shadow arbitrators and shadow guards half-knelt, and the low-level shadow creatures all prostrated themselves on the ground. Immediately, the entire shadow army knelt on the ground and expressed their submission to Allen.
"What a grand display." Frius clapped gently. "Good evening, Allen."
"Frius!" Allen stepped forward and said, "Why are you here!?"
"Why can't I be here? Even if this is the forbidden area of your Specter Kingdom, I would still dare to barge in. Besides, this isn't. "
Allen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword. Frius did not back down. Although the two of them did not move, the air between them constantly stirred up black lightning and golden flames! Allen said in a deep voice, "Frius, this isn't a place you should be, and the will of dusk isn't something you should take. Please leave! "
Frius laughed. "Who said the will of dusk is yours? Why can't I take it? Could it be that there's something that can help me break through my current bottleneck and even have a chance to see the scenery above the Supremacy level? Do you think you can send me away with just a few words? "
Allen sighed. "If you don't leave, then there'll be only war. I can't hand over the will of dusk to you, no matter what you say! "
"Don't, don't, don't be so sure." Frius smiled. "Maybe we can make a deal."
"Even if you use Dobia to exchange, I won't give you the will of dusk!" Allen said directly.
"Dobia? I can't bear to part with it. It's my blood and sweat. " Frius shook his head and said, "I plan to exchange two people with you. One is Lola, and the other is Adele. What do you think?"
Allen's entire body trembled, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes. "They're in your hands?"
"No, but it's almost the same." Frius said, "They're in the gray zone. Unfortunately, I've set up a chess piece there. Right now, those two ladies should be under his control. Don't worry, in order to show my respect for you, I told you that I wouldn't touch a single hair on the two noble ladies. But if you insist on competing with me for the will of dusk, it's hard to say what will happen! "
Allen pondered for a moment and knew who his chess piece was. Frius knew about the will of dusk most likely because that chess piece told him. And now, this chess piece was still in the gray zone, so his identity was already obvious.
