The Shadow Fiend had left quietly.
By the time it left, Mary and the others had already gained the upper hand on the battlefield.
Although the vampires had suffered great losses, as long as they could take down the Quetzalcoatl, not only would Mary have a chance to advance to Grade 4, even the veteran vampires who had been languishing at Grade 2 for so many years would have a chance to advance.
Therefore, the Shadow Fiend came quietly and left quietly on the eve of the end of an unparalleled war.
Although some of the vampires (like Venlier) might have suspected why the Quetzalcoatl had been seriously injured before they had attacked, the Shadow Fiend had retreated silently. But under the clamor of a feast of blood, which vampire would be able to maintain a clear mind to uncover the truth behind the scenes?
The Shadow Fiend was shuttling back and forth between the shadows, some connected, some independent, some big, some small. It was like a fish swimming in the vast ocean, unrestrained and free.
It only took half a day to cross a distance of thousands of kilometers.
However, when it arrived at the spatial singularity reserved for retreating from the Heisen Plane, the Shadow Fiend lay down quietly in the forest.
The sun was shining brightly.
A warm breeze blew through the forest.
Green waves rose and fell, and the sound of crashing waves could be heard.
In front of the spatial singularity that was so small that it was almost impossible to detect, a rolling black smoke was so eye-catching that it was impossible to ignore it.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was just a cloud of black smoke, but to the Shadow Fiend and Grim, it represented extreme danger.
The aura within the smoke was so familiar.
The Shadow Fiend could even see the tall and graceful figure at the core of the smoke with his night vision.
Cough, as expected, the kind-hearted would be bullied. Ever since the Shadow Fiend knew that his soul had been damaged, his enemies had become active again …
With boundless resentment, the Shadowfiend emerged from the huge shadow cast by a tall ancient tree. He stared at the cloud of smoke and said faintly, "It's an honor to meet you here, esteemed Chief Circe!"
The smoke did not disperse, but quickly gathered together, condensing into a strange black armor that stuck to the body of the tall witch who had revealed herself.
Dazzling sunlight poured down from the sky and shone on her jet-black body.
No matter how bright and beautiful the sun was, it still appeared dim and hazy. It was impossible to see her facial features and skin clearly, and he could only barely make out a slender and beautiful figure.
"You've improved again!" In the darkness, Circe sighed and said, "It's only been a few days, and your mind power has improved again. Looks like we've really underestimated you! Your talent … To put it bluntly, you're the one with the most potential in the 700 years I've been a Dark Witch! "
A smile appeared on the Shadow Fiend's cold and hard metallic face. He looked around stealthily before his gaze once again landed on the other party.
"Respected Chief Circe, you snuck into this alternate dimension and blocked my path just to say such senseless sighs? Where are your subordinates? Why don't you call them out too … "
In the darkness, Circe's laughter was cold and ethereal.
"Alright, Legendary Fire Wizard Grim, there's no need for you to probe any further. There's only you and me here today. There's no other Dark Witch! "
"Oh?" The Shadow Fiend rolled his eyes, clearly not believing the other party's words at all.
"I didn't expect you to bring the Shadow Pearl around even though you know that it's a Holy Weapon that we Dark Witches are determined to obtain. If you'd stayed in the Wizard's Pagoda, we might not have been able to do anything to you, but now … "At this point, Circe opened her hands, and two strangely shaped Dark Daggers slowly appeared." Hand over the Shadow Pearl, and I'll let you go. Otherwise … "
The Shadow Fiend snickered, the sharp blades on his claws rubbing against each other, creating black sparks.
"You'd better call your subordinates out and attack me together! It'll save us some trouble later … "
"You don't have to probe me! I'm Circe, the leader of the Dark Tribe, and also the leader of the Dark Witches. I don't need anyone's help to fight a level 4 newbie like you! "
"Hehe, could it be that you're worried that if too many people come, Alice will sense it?" The Shadow Fiend still had a mischievous look on his face. "You Dark Witches are indeed stubborn. You've clearly come to an agreement with Alice previously, but you still dare to come and cause trouble. Aren't you worried that I'll destroy this Shadow Pearl in a fit of anger? "
"Hmph, the Shadow Pearl is a Holy Weapon of Darkness. As long as the Shadow World exists, it will never be destroyed. If you destroy it today, it will reform from the Shadow World in less than a hundred years … Hmph, ignorant man … "
"Hehe, even though I'm ignorant, I know. If this Shadow Pearl were to reform, would it still fall into the hands of you Dark Witches? Without it, can your Dark Development Plan still proceed smoothly? "
Within the shadows, Circe's eyes flashed with a black light.
"Good, very good … I didn't expect an outsider like you to know so much about us Dark Witches! Today, I'll see if this Dark Puppet you've created can escape my pursuit … "
With that, the two dark figures disappeared at the same time, and appeared in another mass of black shadows a hundred meters away.
There was no shouting, no communication, and no probing. The two blurred figures constantly shuttled back and forth, the daggers and sharp blades in their hands clashing as they attacked each other crazily. But what was surprising was that despite the fiery attacks of the two, there was strangely not the slightest sound of metal clashing.
The same techniques, similar skills, the two kings in the shadows, one advancing, one retreating, one retreating, and the other chasing, launched an incomparably dangerous and silent strangulation.
Sharp blades and daggers collided and clashed in the darkness …
Sinister and strange Shadow Energy swirled up and down as the two used their skills, constantly blooming on each other's bodies, each time causing more or less damage to the other party.
The greatest advantage of Shadow Energy was that it ignored defense and was corrosive.
But when their enemy was also a big shot of the Shadow World, these advantages were lost. In contrast, the one that could bring the greatest damage to the opponent was a physical attack.
On this point, the Shadow Fiend undoubtedly had an absolute advantage!
In the blink of an eye, after thousands of exchanges, both sides realized that the other party was difficult to deal with. With a Shadow Leap, they separated, each occupying a part of the shadows and coldly staring at each other.
Taking advantage of this short moment of respite, the Shadow Energy quickly gathered and rapidly healed their injuries.
Both were Grade 4 Kings of Darkness, and both had the highest resistance to darkness damage.
As the Shadow Fiend had a Magical Body, it was practically immune to attacks from small sharp weapons, and its defense against physical attacks was also the highest. With the protection of the Shadow Orb, the other party's Shadow Witchcraft was completely ineffective against it.
Even under such circumstances, Circe could still fight the Shadow Fiend to a draw. From this, one could see how profound her attainments in Shadow Witchcraft were.
The Shadow Fiend's attack and defense were completely based on instinct. Although Grim had rich combat experience, he couldn't even see the enemy's figure and movements in such a soundless and fast-moving environment. How could he guide the Shadow Fiend in battle?
While the Shadow Fiend was deep in thought, he suddenly felt something strange below him. He looked down and discovered that there were several gray streams of air flowing out from the shadows beneath him. They were silently circling around his body like ropes.
Ropes?
As soon as the thought appeared in his mind, the gray streams of air suddenly materialized and quickly coiled around his lower limbs.
At the same time, Circe, who was hiding in another patch of darkness, let out a shrill cry. Five strange runes shining with a dark purple light slowly appeared behind her. As Circe swung the Dark Dagger in her hand, the five strange runes flew into the dagger like birds returning to their nests. Immediately, the dagger shone brightly and became unstoppable.
"Seal of Darkness? Annihilation! "
The three artifacts on Circe's body lit up at the same time, quickly projecting their power onto her body.
Circe's face, which was hidden behind the black fog, suddenly paled. Her right hand that was tightly holding the Dark Dagger instantly disappeared.
Naturally, the Shadow Fiend could clearly sense such a large movement from his opponent.
However, when it used the Shadow Orb's power to absorb the shadow substance, it transformed from ropes back into scattered air currents and freed its body.
But it was too late!
A black dagger appeared out of thin air and pierced deep into the Shadow Fiend's back.
At the same time, the surging dark energy that came with the black dagger surged into the Shadow Fiend's body like a tidal wave. In an instant, a fist-sized 'bloody hole' was formed.
There was no blood.
Thick and viscous shadow substance that looked like black liquid flowed out from the hole, mixed with many shimmering fragments of magic equipment. Through the bloody hole, one could see that the Shadow Fiend's body was filled with densely packed mechanical parts and gear hubs of various sizes.
After suffering such a heavy blow, these parts that were originally operating in an orderly manner were now in a mess. Creaking sounds could be heard as parts of the parts flew out continuously.
What a terrifying attack …
Based on the strength of this compound attack, it was probably at least 5000 degrees!
With this kind of attack, even if it was a dragonslayer, there was a high chance that it could heavily injure a grade 4 giant dragon!
If the Shadow Fiend did not have outstanding physical and dark resistance, it would have been insta-killed by an ordinary Tier 4 Magus.
Grimm, who had his consciousness attached to the Shadow Fiend's body, broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly commanded the Shadow Fiend to escape. Before escaping, the Shadow Fiend was rather straightforward. He cast almost all of the high-ranked shadow spells he could instantaneously cast on Circe, before fleeing in a flash.
Although the grade 4 Shadowslayer and Lightless Dagger could not do anything to the Dark Witch leader, they could still delay her for a while.
