The "Shadow Devil" was a strange and powerful monster. According to those who had encountered it, it had a human-like appearance, like a black and red figure. But this form was not fixed and could be changed at will. It liked to hide in the shadows, not necessarily for ambush or sneak attack, but purely for its hobby.
It was said that it was a monster of the dead, so it was full of resentment for the living. Although it had terrible power that could even smash a mountain, it was keen to kill its target by devouring vitality. And its most terrible ability was that it could pollute and bind the souls of the people it killed, and transform them into shadow soldiers.
This horrible monster had lived in the Ashes Woods for more than 200 years. It had launched more than one attack on various villages and towns, and even went through the mountain pass to wreak havoc in the Commonwealth of Gold Coins. At that time, it had destroyed several cities in one breath, and forced the patron saint of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, the God of Commerce and Wealth, to descend with a doppelgänger, but it was only repelled.
From then on, it was originally called a "shadow monster", and it had the title of "Shadow Devil". There were even some villains who believed in it, and used living people as sacrifices to get a poisonous dagger from it that was imbued with the power of the shadow.
As a typical representative of the evil power in the Ashes Woods, it and several other good or evil monsters formed the high-end force group of the whole Ashes Woods.
As for Ice Dragon Snowflake, strictly speaking, she was still far away from this group.
So when the Shadow Devil suddenly attacked, even if the two strongest people of the Church of Void Mask were present, they could not make an effective resistance.
It was a sunny morning, and Rode was training the pioneers he recruited. Even if they chose to start in a relatively warm summer, it was still not easy to open up villages and towns in the cold north, and to deal with the inherent risks in the Ashes Woods. For this reason, a lot of training was needed to let everyone understand what to do in normal times, and how to deal with special situations, so as to improve the success rate of pioneering and avoid failure.
After all … once failure, hundreds of lives would be lost!
About a day's journey north of Rye Town, they set up a temporary village. The villagers were busy doing a lot of work that was not needed for the time being, and preparing for the future pioneering.
Gerrard was training with a group of strong men. Their fundamental goal was not to establish a village, but to establish the Church of Void Mask. For this, of course, they needed a group of people who could fight to form the Apologetic Knights.
Snowflake was dealing with government affairs, mainly finance, materials, and personnel. She hated this kind of tedious work, but before Sui brought back Knight Parne, who was said to be good at government affairs, these things could only be done by her or Rode. Rhode was also in charge of training the civilians. Compared to the boring government affairs, those jobs were much more tedious and tedious. It was especially so when he had to deal with a bunch of foolish mortals who lacked education. It was even more frustrating.
Snow had tried it before, but she found that those people couldn't even tell the simple concept of left and right. It took her several days just to popularize this concept. In the end, she was so angry that she almost killed someone. After that, even if Rode was willing to exchange, she would never, Snowflake would.
Graupel and Frost were still looking for a suitable place to develop. They had found several targets for the time being, but they were not very satisfactory, so they continued to search in the north and could not come back for the time being.
Graupel protested several times for this reason, such as "lack of sleep is the enemy of beauty" or "children won't grow taller if they don't sleep enough" and so on. Frost, on the other hand, always had a sullen face, which clearly showed that he was not happy.
In fact, they were not the only ones who were "not happy." Phil, the Armored Demon, was also quite dissatisfied that he had to look after the shop, which reduced his time to serve the flower fields in the temple. But he was kind and easy to talk to.
Originally, this day should have passed like any other day. It should have been ordinary and boring as usual. But on that peaceful morning, a sudden change occurred.
From the shadow of a house, a red-black figure emerged. It laughed strangely and waved its hand. Countless shadows emerged from the large and small shadows all over the village and immediately attacked all the creatures around.
In just a moment, more than half of the pioneering team that Rode had painstakingly recruited were killed or injured, and less than one-third of the lucky ones escaped the attack of the shadow soldiers.
But the shadow soldiers were still emerging, and the number was increasing.
Seeing this scene, Rode was so angry that his eyes turned red. Without saying a word, he pulled out his dagger and fought with the shadow soldiers. After Gerrard waved his tomahawk and defeated a circle of shadow soldiers around him, he also hurriedly ran around the village, trying to destroy as many monsters as possible and protect the villagers.
The one who truly improved the situation was Satan. As soon as he discovered the problem, he immediately activated the scrolls he had prepared beforehand. In one breath, he released more than ten balls of light that were as dazzling as sunlight, floating in the air above the village. The light sources intertwined with each other, erasing most of the outdoor shadows.
As for the indoors … there were probably not many people left …
His magic was used very accurately, and it just happened to contain the shadow soldiers that appeared and disappeared mysteriously. The combat power of these shadow soldiers was not very strong, and they could only rely on their shadows to enter the main plane from the shadow plane, so they could catch others unprepared. At this moment, all the shadows were erased, and many shadow soldiers that were moving were also cut off, turned into smoke, and disappeared without a trace.
The red-black figure let out an angry roar. Just now, it had lost about one-fifth of the shadow soldiers, which could be said to be a heavy loss.
So it personally took action, turning into a deep black shadow, and went straight for Satan, who was casting the spell.
It came so quickly and without warning that Satan didn't even have time to react.
In the face of this devil king that had ravaged the world for hundreds of years, even if he had put several layers of defensive spells on his body in advance, it was useless.
With just one blow, his body was torn apart like a piece of paper that had been cut with scissors. Blood overflowed from countless wounds, but it was sucked dry before it could fall to the ground. His whole body became as dry as rotten wood in an instant, fell heavily to the ground, and broke into countless pieces of large and small.
Only then did Satan realize what was going on. In the face of sudden death, he unexpectedly felt very calm.
"Ah … is this death? Haha, it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of … "
However, it was clear that he had calmed down too early. An eerie black aura spread out from the reddish-black figure and tightly wrapped around his soul. The negative energy that was as deep as the sea crazily surged into his soul. Almost in an instant, his soul was completely contaminated by the negative energy and turned into a twisted evil spirit.
Before being polluted and transformed, he only had time to pray one last time, "My Lord! Please save my soul! "
After killing Satan with one blow, and even polluting his soul, the red-black Devil slightly vented some of its anger, and then turned its eyes to more valuable targets.
For example, the giant dragon that appeared with the cold air, as clear as ice crystals. Or the giant that was roaring and rushing over with a tomahawk in his hand.
Snowflake and Gerrard were almost aware of the existence of the Shadow Devil at the same time, and rushed to it at the same time. One of them spat out the extremely cold ice flame, and the other completely stimulated the surging divine power on the tomahawk specially made by Sui Xiong. The cone-shaped blue and white flame turned everything into ice, and completely enveloped the red-black Devil in it. The golden tomahawk, like a flash of lightning, chopped toward its head.
Both of them were strong people in the legendary realm, and the power of their joint attack was simply daunting. But in the face of the Shadow Devil, such an attack could not work at all. The red-black figure just waved his hand, and the shock wave of negative energy blasted the ice flame away, and turned it into countless ice chips, like a heavy snow. Gerrard could not even get close to it, and was directly blown away with the tomahawk. He even knocked down several wooden houses, and finally fell into a ruin.
The power of the Shadow Devil was incredible!
The red-black Devil broke the joint attack of Snowflake and Gerrard with one blow. It smiled proudly, and its gloomy eyes fell on Snowflake.
The soul of an ice dragon might be a good collection.
But before it could attack again, with a thunderous sound, a blue and white thunderbolt fell from the sky and fiercely struck it.
Sui Xiong had been floating in the sky, constantly absorbing magic power, and slowly transforming it into divine power to improve his own strength. This was his cultivation, just like what he had done in the Ice Trench.
It was because he was so focused on cultivation that he didn't react immediately when the Shadow Devil King attacked. It was not until the believers suffered heavy losses that he was awakened from his practice, and hurriedly descended to the ground.
But just as he rushed to the ground, Satan had been killed, and then Snowflake and Gerrard were also defeated.
Sui Xiong was almost mad with anger. While speeding up, he did not say a word and fiercely struck down with a divine thunderbolt.
Because the speed was too fast, he even broke the sound barrier, causing a huge roar.
The divine thunderbolt had its own tracking effect, and there was no possibility of "avoiding" it. The Shadow Devil seemed to have some understanding of Sui Xiong's situation, and it did not mean to dodge at all. With a wave of its hand, the dark tide of negative energy rose to the sky and collided with the divine thunderbolt.
The two forces collided fiercely. There was no sound, but it made the surrounding space distorted and blurred, and even the scene of the shadow plane could be seen in the distortion.
The first blow of the two sides broke the space barrier of the main plane, and opened the passage to the shadow plane.
But this was just the beginning. After half a second at most, a tentacle as thick as a towering ancient tree whizzed down, and went straight to the red-black figure.
Until then, Sui Xiong's roar came to the ground.
"Find! Die! "
