Chapter 390 - 380: Giant Dragon’s Trail
Shire is a cold goddess.
In the Church and Divine Hall, her holy insignia is a black disc with a purple outer ring. In the Church’s artwork, Shire is often depicted as a tall woman with purple eyes and black pupils, or painted as a stunning beauty with purple or black skin and flowing black hair, wrapped in a cloak that seems to merge with the surrounding shadows or darkness. Her lips often carry a cold smile, and her unforgettable amethyst eyes possess pupils as dark as night.
It’s said that all illusions can be swayed by her whim. Her ethereal song can lead listeners to despair or leave them at her mercy. Her gaze causes harm, her touch brings temporary amnesia. Her mere thoughts can create darkness, and she always appears amidst changing shadows. Her kiss can take a life in an instant, or her will can make one her eternal slave.
Undoubtedly, she is a powerful Evil God, so powerful that she rivals the Demon Prince; as for the so-called Legendary Flame Demon, before her, it’s nothing more than a weak ant.
As a master of shadows, one of Shire’s most terrifying abilities is immunity to physical attacks. She’s not an Undead, yet she possesses a longer life and more terrifying power than Undead.
But...it shouldn’t be her, such a powerful Evil God, how could she lower herself for a Golden Tier offering?
Thoughts flickered for just a moment.
But the battlefield had already turned eerie. Flora’s strength lies in physical attacks, but before the shadows, her greatest ability was constrained, made to evade attacks constantly.
The shadow was pervasive, unbounded by shadows anywhere, capable of infinite jumps. Flora could dodge attacks with her explosive power, but repeated dodging had drained her strength.
In normal running, Flora’s endurance could sustain her for half a day, but what’s happening now? The shadow clung relentlessly, Flora’s muscles were tautly stretched, exerting not only her legs, but also depleting her spirit greatly.
This went on for a few minutes.
Her legs gave way, Flora’s brows furrowed slightly; evidently, her body was issuing warnings.
At this moment, the shadow seized the opportunity, after another leap, suddenly enveloping Flora’s shadow.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
Flora stopped running, stood sweating in place, in her eyes, a glimpse of long-forgotten terror emerged, clearly, her movements were restrained.
At this moment, Flora’s shadow slowly extended, like ink, began to cover her, gradually spreading, until it clung around her neck.
Constraint.
The seemingly intangible force caused Flora’s neck to begin deforming, even her breathing turned rapid...
"Stop!"
At this point, Chen Feng couldn’t remain silent, commanding the shadow to stop.
The shadow had no expression but seemed to understand Chen Feng’s words, the shadow adhering around Flora’s neck gradually disappeared, and now Flora stood motionless, breathing in air, escaping from imminent danger thanks to Chen Feng’s timely intervention.
Chen Feng looked at the shadow in front of him.
Feeling oddly peculiar.
It was incredibly indescribable, the shadow showed no signs of life, yet gave him a sense of great wisdom.
The most important thing was, it could understand his commands.
Not through Spiritual Power, but simply through verbal orders.
The shadow stood, awaiting instructions like a warrior during an address, unmoving and upright, yet its intangible form wavered, constantly changing its physical characteristics.
Perhaps noticing Chen Feng’s gaze, the shadow’s transformation accelerated, knowing Chen Feng wasn’t genuinely angry, it then leapt, fully merging into Chen Feng’s shadow.
"Hmm?"
Like a stone dropped into the ocean.
The shadow encountered no obstacles, slipping into Chen Feng’s shadow, creating a sense of disquiet, he randomly moved, yet nothing changed.
But Chen Feng knew, that terrifying unknown entity, now lay inside his shadow, perhaps hidden, perhaps disguising as his shadow, mimicking his movements.
No matter how, it harbored no malice towards him.
Unlike the previously summoned Undead Mage who, due to rank, once showed indifference towards him.
This shadow, although mighty, acted like a loyal dog, impeccably following his orders.
A Golden Tier shadow entity?
It even has the ability to control an enemy’s freedom using their shadow, in a battle, requiring not long control but perhaps mere seconds, enough for Chen Feng to unleash his most terrifying force.
A horrifying combination.
Shadow constraint paired with Chen Feng’s Flame Demon transformation, within the same tier, he might be invincible, even if Xu Hongzhuang goes berserk upon reaching Golden Tier, as long as Chen Feng seizes an opening, only death awaits.
Thus, Chen Feng accepted the shadow’s choice, allowing it to remain hidden within his shadow.
Flora approached, with a slight sense of loss evident on her face, she was the Guardian God of the Cat Race, not a mere caged bird knowing only tears. Her distress wasn’t because Chen Feng didn’t halt initially, it was primarily because she hadn’t succeeded in launching a decent attack and was bound by freedom.
Death, so close to her.
Chen Feng stepped in front of Flora, brushed off the dust on her, speaking gently: "Don’t be too discouraged, your opponent started in Golden Tier, from the beginning, the positions were different. Also, don’t belittle yourself, if you can advance further, your energy will qualitatively change, capable of inflicting harm."
"What you should do now, is strive for advancement, do you understand?"
Chen Feng smiled, placing his hand atop Flora’s fluffy ear, it was tender, receiving encouragement, Flora raised her head, seeing Chen Feng’s dark eyes, nodded resolutely.
She was prepared, in the coming days, she would undergo special training. Besides, in the Abyss, the Inferior Demon troops were about to converge, killing an Abyss Lord would be a brutal and bloody battle, and Flora’s aim was using this life-and-death combat to exceed her limits, achieving a new tier.
Flora nodded, as a qualified Warrior, she knew how to adjust her mindset.
Everything returned to calm.
Following Chen Feng summoning this bizarre Summoned Beast of shadow, proving his six contract summons were all expended.
Undead Mage, unknown shadow, Dark Elf, Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish, Flora, and Inferior Demon.
Among them, besides the Undead Mage and shadow, the other Summoned Beast stepped into Silver Peak, forming a powerful group, each capable of astounding, and now they were assembled to serve Chen Feng.
Rise is inevitable.
Chen Feng passed a quiet day, and on the next morning, a member of the Dark Department came to report findings from Wu Junwen’s subordinate’s recent betrayal; the Dark Department had interrogated all the answers.
Opening the envelope, Chen Feng carefully read the information within, after moments, placed it on his leg, then fell into contemplation.
"A gigantic creature."
"Body like a lizard."
"Winged."
Sitting in the chair, Chen Feng’s mind processed the news in the letter, then muttered: "If they’re not lying, this massive entity might just be a Giant Dragon..."
