There were always all kinds of contradictions between life forms, and because of this, their wishes and ideals would also produce all kinds of conflicts, whether strong or weak.
Zagunéd hoped that Han Jin could temporarily change his target and give him some time to catch his breath. Therefore, he only asked Alquete to go to Fort Maxine, and he did not move his headquarters. Revenge was to save his face, and he did not move because he did not want to anger Han Jin. Of course, he also had his own little plan, which was to drag Alquete down with him. The vampires did not only have one distant ancestor. If Alquete could summon all the other distant ancestors, Zagunéd's chess pieces would come alive. Of course, he had to find a way to preserve his strength during this period. At least, he could not let the vampires underestimate him. Then, with the help of the vampires, he would be able to become an overlord.
Han Jin also had his own hopes. He hoped to completely eliminate Zagunéd this winter, and hoped that the Holy Crown City and Wild Willow City would not make any moves for the time being. This way, he would be able to take the initiative again next spring.
However, Han Jin's army had already entered the tunnel one after another, indicating that Zagunéd's hopes were dashed. In a secret place, the Elder of the Senate of Wild Willow City, Updula, reached out his hand and shook Dismark's hand. No matter whether they trusted each other or not, the covenant that had been deliberately ignored for more than ten years was formed once again, and Han Jin's wish was the same as Zagunéd's, irrevocably shattered.
Han Jin was the lord and the leader of this new force, but he was not a commander, at least not a qualified one. When Guevara, Lang Ning, and Alexandre were commanding the army to advance, he had already left the army and rushed to Zagunéd's underground city alone!
This time, he didn't hide his tracks. He just stood there quietly, silently, on a tall mountain made of black stones.
This mountain was very high, very thin, and very steep. It was less than a hundred meters above the ground. Looking from below, it looked like a giant needle piercing into the sky, and Han Jin was standing on the tip of the needle, which was very eye-catching! A strong wind blew past, blowing Han Jin's robe and messing up his black hair. However, his body seemed to be connected with the whole mountain, and he did not move at all. He did not deliberately show anything, but the calmness, indifference, and silence made him look like an eternal existence that would never be shaken, or a god that appeared in the mortal world, quietly watching the vicissitudes of the world.
Ever since Han Jin launched a surprise attack in the underground city, the security of the underground city had become very tight. A dozen vampires noticed the abnormality and used their shapeshifting skills, spreading their wings and flying toward the mountain. It was not until they were less than a hundred meters away that they saw who was standing on the mountain. In a wave of panicked screams, the vampires changed direction almost simultaneously and flew toward the underground city with all their might.
Zagunéd was a notorious lord on the surface, and to the abyssal races, Han Jin's "reputation" was no less than Zagunéd's. Especially a few months ago, when Han Jin destroyed the magic shield of the underground city, the eight lava rivers lost their support and collapsed. Thousands of kilograms of lava raged in the city, causing huge casualties to the abyssal races. Of course, the strong were not afraid of the lava, but not every life was qualified to be strong. The lucky ones were always the minority. Although the ordinary lives were weak, they were the foundation of society. They worked in all kinds of industries, and almost all of society's resources were created by them. The current atmosphere of the underground city was bleak, and this was all thanks to Han Jin!
The shrill sound of a horn came from the underground city, and the entire city began to move. Groups of Evil Eyes, Medusas, and Minotaurs rushed up the city walls, and the restored magic shield glowed faintly.
Han Jin was still standing quietly on the mountain peak. His goal was not to rely on his own strength to fight against the entire underground city, but only to restrain Zagunéd.
Riptide had entered the underground city, and first of all, it had lost its geographical advantage. The dense network of tunnels extended in all directions, and it was very dangerous. The light here was very dim, and in some areas, it was so dark that one could not even see one's fingers in front of one's face. It was very difficult for the human warriors to display their combat strength. Due to these worries, he had to control Zagunéd and not let Zagunéd send out troops to fight.
The threat of the strong was not only reflected in their combat strength. Sometimes, the strong could become a strategic weapon. For example, at this very moment! Han Jin's appearance here was very troubling for Zagunéd. If Zagunéd led the army to fight, Han Jin could destroy his underground city. If he stayed in the underground city and only sent out an auxiliary army, then his auxiliary army could be killed by Han Jin.
Suddenly, the noisy underground city quieted down. Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Zagunéd walked up the city walls step by step. A Lord could lack wisdom, but he could not lack strength. This was the meaning of a Lord! When faced with the threat of the enemy's superior strength, a Lord had the responsibility and obligation to step forward bravely, bear all the risks, and create a safe sky for his followers.
Zagunéd's expression was slightly complicated, but he was as quiet as Han Jin. He raised his head and silently looked into the distance, not saying a word. In fact, the distance between them was very far. Han Jin could not see Zagunéd clearly, and Zagunéd could not see Han Jin clearly. However, their eyes met very accurately. If at this moment, magic was used to instantly remove the spatial barrier and let Han Jin and Zagunéd face each other, they would find that they were staring into each other's eyes.
After a moment of silence, Zagunéd suddenly jumped down from the city walls, landed steadily on the ground, and strode towards the mountain peak in front of him. The soldiers of the Abyssal Race were stunned for a moment, then let out a tidal wave of cheers and shouts. The outcome of the future was not important. What was important was that their Lord had the courage to face any challenge head-on!
Zagunéd's pace was not fast, but it was very steady. Every step he took would leave a shallow footprint on the ground, and there seemed to be something sprouting in the footprints. Then, it turned into a faint shadow, following behind Zagunéd.
There was a huge gap between a magical world and a technological civilization. Here, a person's ability could be infinitely magnified, and a true powerhouse could completely turn the tide. It was not hard to imagine that if Zagunéd and Alquete died in battle, the underground city would immediately collapse. If Han Jin, Guevara, and the others died in this battle, the forces they worked so hard to build would melt in the blink of an eye, and become the dust of history.
Zagunéd was still walking forward slowly and steadily. He knew the purpose of Han Jin's appearance here, and he knew even more clearly what this battle meant. He also knew that fate was unfair. He could not lose. If he lost, he would die. Han Jin could use mysterious magic to escape at any time, but Zagunéd did not retreat. Everything that he had condensed in endless suffering turned into a majestic fighting spirit at this moment. It was like a burning flame, like the roaring of the sea. Zagunéd had released all of his fighting spirit, just to understand the outcome. Whether he would regain the right to continue fighting against the world and against fate, or become a paragraph of humiliating words and become a stepping stone for others. Everything would be decided today, at this moment!
Zagunéd slowly walked across the suspension bridge, and the shadows under his feet followed him like a tidal wave. At the same time, the lava river became dim. It was only when Zagunéd walked across the suspension bridge that the lava river gradually returned to its original state.
The mountain under Han Jin's feet was about three thousand meters away from the underground city. Zagunéd took a long time to walk over, but Han Jin was not impatient at all. However, his gaze had already left Zagunéd, and he did not look at the underground city. His gaze was cast into the dark void, as if he was observing something, but also as if he was not looking at anything.
Zagunéd's gaze also left Han Jin. He was completely focused on what was beneath his feet. It was as if he was not walking on flat ground, but rather strolling through a quagmire filled with danger.
No matter how long a road was, it would eventually come to an end. Zagunéd finally reached the foot of the mountain. He suddenly raised his head, and the red glow in his eyes intensified. The shadows that were following him surged forward, and quickly spread up the mountain. In just a moment, they had reached the center of the mountain. The towering pillar that had withstood thousands of years of strong underground winds seemed to be unable to withstand the weight of the shadows. It collapsed from the middle with a loud bang, and then turned into countless pieces of rock that fell down like raindrops.
With the mountain pillar destroyed, the tip of the needle on top of it naturally could not survive. It slowly tilted to one side, and then slowly rolled down. Under thousands of gazes, it collided heavily with the ground. It used the last of its life to sing an earth-shattering roar.
Countless clouds of dust crazily surged into the air, completely covering Zagunéd's figure. The shadows that were like a tide suddenly turned into a sinister black forest of plants, and swept towards Han Jin from all directions.
"Evildoers and evildoers, return my bright and clear world … Purify!" Han Jin's voice was so clear and firm that it even suppressed the rumbling of the mountain collapsing. Then, a dazzling light bloomed between heaven and earth, illuminating this gloomy underground world!
The black plants released by Zagunéd withered one by one, and were unable to get close to Han Jin's body. In the next moment, Han Jin's figure had already rapidly descended. The green light instantly crossed a distance of several hundred meters, and shot towards Zagunéd.
If the Pure Light Incantation that Han Jin had just released was a brilliant morning sun, then his green light was a stunning rainbow. Dense waves of light flowed through it, and it was like a translucent piece of beautiful jade, bright and beautiful beyond compare.
With a loud boom, the green light forcibly blasted a hole in the ground, and dust once again soared into the sky. Zagunéd had already dodged to the side, and the sand and dust that flew up sprayed onto Zagunéd's body and face, almost turning him into a native. However, he did not care about this at all, and only stared fixedly at the floating Han Jin.
"If you want me to come down, be honest. Why waste so much effort?" Han Jin said indifferently. "You look like you want to eat someone … Haha, I can see that I've bullied you too much."
"Raphael, no need to talk nonsense. You want to kill me, and I want to kill you." Zagunéd used a calm voice to reply to Han Jin. "Let's do something more practical."
The warriors of the Abyssal Race were still standing on the city wall. This was a battle between the strong, and mortals should stop! The moment Zagunéd jumped down from the city wall alone, he had already expressed his attitude. If anyone wanted to interfere, it would be an insult to Zagunéd!
The alarmed Blood Breeds were also circling the underground city. They also respected the battle between the strong, but there were always exceptions. A pair of vicious eyes quietly blinked. Alquete! He's also here!
"So anxious? Do you think now is the time? "Han Jin smiled.
"For me, this is the last chance." Zagunéd was still very calm. "Two years ago, you were just a piece of trash. Two years later, you actually became a lord … Your growth speed is simply indescribable. If I can't defeat you now, it will be even more impossible in the future."
"You've thought it through very thoroughly." Han Jin sighed softly. He didn't have the confidence to defeat Zagunéd now, but if he could drag it out for a few years, Zagunéd would no longer be a threat to him. Unfortunately, the situation around him didn't allow him to drag it out any longer.
"I'm not the only one who has thought it through." Zagunéd said slowly. "Even if you can defeat me, there will be more and more powerful opponents standing up! Because you are a threat to many people. Raphael, you are very unfortunate. You will no longer be able to enjoy a peaceful life in the future. " People's thoughts were sometimes very strange. Zagunéd wanted to kill Han Jin. Even if there was only a slight chance, he wouldn't give up. However, when he thought about what would happen after he was defeated, he couldn't help but want to remind Han Jin.
Perhaps Zagunéd wanted to grab onto his last bit of self-respect. If he was defeated by Han Jin, and then Han Jin was defeated by Dismark or the elves of Wild Willow City, wouldn't that prove that he wasn't as good as Dismark and those elves? If Han Jin could defeat the other opponents, it would at least prove that he wasn't any worse than those old opponents. It was just that his luck was too bad, and he was the first to clash with Han Jin.
"Unlucky?" Han Jin smiled. "Zagunéd, aren't you the same?"
Zagunéd was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but think of the days when he was struggling to start a business. When had he ever enjoyed a peaceful life?!
"Looks like I'm unnecessary …" Zagunéd's eyes gradually became sharp, and the flickering red light became even more demonic.
"However, I still have to thank you for your reminder." Han Jin smiled as if he was chatting with an old friend.
"You're welcome." As soon as he finished speaking, Zagunéd's mouth suddenly protruded forward, turning into a cruel wolf's kiss. His entire body expanded upwards and outwards, and his hands also turned into scarlet furry claws. In the next moment, a giant wolf soared into the sky, leaving behind a blurry afterimage. Its huge claws tore through the air, carrying an ear-piercing screech as it slammed towards Han Jin's chest.
Han Jin formed a hand seal and released the Earth Shrinking Spell. He appeared on the ground, and with a flick of his sword finger, a green light shot out, chasing after Zagunéd's afterimage.
The two of them were chatting like friends just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, they became irreconcilable enemies. Their speed was equally fast, and their attacks were equally ferocious. However, Zagunéd relied on his own strength to move and attack, while Han Jin used the Earth Shrinking Spell and Earthmeld to constantly change his position. When Zagunéd's attacks missed, he immediately launched a counterattack.
Han Jin didn't use his full strength. For example, he didn't release the newly refined Immortal Binding Rope because he knew that there wasn't just one Zagunéd in the Underground City, there was also Alquete!
A mad dog was scary, but a mad wolf was even scarier. The giant wolf that Zagunéd had transformed into, whether it was speed or strength, had reached an unimaginable level. The giant wolf's body sometimes became incomparably nimble, easily dodging Han Jin's flying sword. At other times, it became abnormally ferocious, wildly waving its two claws like streaks of red lightning, leaving dazzling afterimages in the darkness.
Han Jin's momentum didn't lose to Zagunéd at all. The green light shuttling back and forth turned into a thunderous giant sword in an instant, and then into an erratic cold light in the next moment. Han Jin's figure was even more unpredictable, because he knew that his movement speed couldn't be compared to Zagunéd's, so Han Jin simply relied on his Dao to change his position. Sometimes, before the shadow he left behind disappeared from Zagunéd's line of sight, another shadow would appear behind Zagunéd.
This was no longer a battle between two people. In the eyes of an outsider, it was as if there were two or even several people who looked exactly the same as each other fighting against a blurry giant beast!
Suddenly, Zagunéd let out a mournful howl, then gave up on Han Jin and fell to the ground. At the same time, clusters of black plants grew out, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Zagunéd raised his head and let out another long howl. Before Han Jin could release the Pure Light Incantation, the boundless black plants were all shaken into fine powder by Zagunéd's howl. The powder that covered a radius of nearly a thousand meters fell to the ground, turning the entire ground black, like a giant black crystal.
Then, Zagunéd lowered his head and took a deep breath. The various colored lights in the air, including the light emitted by the flying sword and the light from the nearby lava river, all rushed towards Zagunéd in a way that could be seen with the naked eye. In the next moment, an extremely dark and profound world shrouded Zagunéd's body!
Han Jin suddenly realized that he couldn't see anything. He could clearly sense his flying sword and knew that it was right in front of him, but he couldn't see it at all!
The abyssal warriors watching the battle on the city wall could only see a semi-circular dark dome suddenly appear, but they couldn't see what was happening inside.
Alquete let out a scream and suddenly spread out his wings. His body turned into a bright silver line and shot towards the dark dome at an extremely fast speed. Seeing this scene, the vampires were stunned, and so were the warriors of the Abyssal Race below. What was he trying to do? Could it be that Lord Alquete wanted to attack that human together with Lord Zagunéd? That's not good … But after a moment, a vampire took the lead and let out a gloating laugh. Then, many other vampires followed suit. What's not good about that?! As long as they could kill that human Lord Raphael, that would be the best thing!
