Chapter 67: A Slash Through Despair
In the domain of my magic, [Eternal Nightfall], I faced off against Norx and Morgan. The oppressive aura of my magic weighed heavily on them, slowing their movements and disrupting their control over Dark Magic. After all, within this space, I was the master of all things dark.
The endless night created by my magic also activated my Shadow Conqueror trait, granting me a significant buff—a 50% increase to both STR and AGI. My body felt lighter, stronger. Even the pain from my earlier injuries seemed easier to ignore.
"Ugh... I’m sorry, Nao. I lost control when I saw Milly getting hurt."
That was Envi, my system, speaking directly into my mind. His voice carried a mix of guilt and simmering anger.
"You’ve done well, Envi," I reassured him, sensing the turmoil in his tone. "I was furious too, seeing Milly treated like that. She’s my little sister, and I’m sure you feel the same—an overwhelming need to protect her."
Envi paused briefly before replying, his voice regaining its usual confidence.
"Alright! Let’s focus on taking these two down. Leave the analysis to the great Envi!"
Now, back to the battlefield. Norx, a demon warlord, and Morgan, a unique demon, stood before me. Morgan, though heavily wounded by Envi’s earlier assault, was still capable of fighting. The odds weren’t exactly in my favor, but this was my domain. Here, I had the advantage.
I decided to prioritize Norx—she was the biggest threat.
Without hesitation, I dashed toward her with incredible speed, activating [Blackmore Katana Style: Inazuma, Dark Magic Version]. My blade struck true, slicing through her right arm.
I was stunned. The sheer speed of my movements was on an entirely new level. It felt as if I was one with the shadows in this domain.
