Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1096: Absolute Shadow (2)

Allen rolled a few times on the ground and stood up again. Holding Red King's hand, it felt numb. The force of the shadow's attack just now was very strong. Allen's blade was like a piece of high-speed steel, and Red King almost let go of it. Now, he calmed down and saw that his opponent's figure had already appeared in the rarely seen sunlight in the valley. Just as Julian had described, the Absolute Shadow of the Devil Wolf was nearly seven meters long. It was definitely a big fellow. There was a masked bone bulge on the head, and the three vertical eyeballs were looking in different directions.

Many parts of its body are protected by exoskeletal armor, including its abdomen. What Red King had just drawn was the protective armor of Absolute Shadow, but it didn't seem to be completely unharmed. The demonic wolf's abdomen was continuously dripping with dark purple blood. However, judging from its size, that amount of blood could only be considered minor injuries. On both sides of Jue Ying's body, there was an oval-shaped crystal stone that looked like two demonic pupils. It opened its mouth and let out a series of low roars.

Jue Ying did not like the sunlight, so he slowly retreated into the shadows of the valley. This was also why Alan chose to move during the day. The Silver Winter Mountain Range at night was the Kingdom of Shadowless. Hunting this ferocious beast at night was ten times harder than during the day. When the demonic wolf appeared, Gao Hu and the others were greatly refreshed. Especially Gao Hu, this short and sturdy man's eyes were simply shining. According to the previous plan, the four of them dispersed and surrounded Jue Ying in the middle. josei

The demonic wolf roared as its four claws continuously scratched the ground. The Absolute Shadow's claws were made of pure ice crystals. These ice claws scraped across the ground, spreading out a thin layer of frost. The surrounding grass was gradually covered with a layer of blue frost under the cold air emitted by the Absolute Shadow. As a result, a blue ice circle appeared around the demonic wolf, which was in stark contrast to the greenery in the valley. Jue Ying finally couldn't restrain himself. During the day, he always hid in this valley, with a few wild wolves as his guards. It was only at night when it was active, but these uninvited guests disrupted its daily routine, forcing it to wake up from its slumber. The woken demonic wolf's temper was not friendly at all. It had even begun to plan to freeze these humans into popsicles and then split them into several portions to enjoy.

Jue Ying was always picky about food. Although humans weren't common foods in recipes, humans with powerful Origin Energy were definitely a delicacy. The Origin Energy of the four people in front of him was not weak, but the aura of the man with dazzling silver hair made Jue Ying unwilling to approach him. It was as if winter snow wasn't close to the blazing flames. The burning flames emitted from the man's body were objects that Absolute Shadow, who was biased towards ice origin power, wasn't willing to approach.

Therefore, it intended to kill the silver-haired human, but it didn't want to eat him. Jue Ying didn't want to swallow a ball of flame into his stomach. After making up his mind, the Demonic Wolf attacked and threw aside the strongest silver-haired man and ran towards the thin-looking human youth.

'"Do I look that easy to bully?" Regis snorted coldly.

Jue Ying responded with a low roar. The temperature around Regis dropped sharply, and a few ice edges above his head nailed down towards Regis. The youth narrowed his eyes and rushed forward. After a few nimble turns, the ice ridge stabbed into the air. However, Jue Ying did not intend to nail this human youth to death with his ice prism. He believed more in his own strength. Jue Ying lowered his head and used his bulging skull to smash into Regis' chest. The skeleton on the head of the demonic wolf was like a helmet that he had personally made. Not only was it hard, it could also be used as a city-breaking cone when charging. It was definitely not a pleasant thing to be hit by it. The wind blew at the soles of Regis's feet, and he dodged in time before the demonic wolf collided with him. He took advantage of the situation and pulled Jue Jue, causing the starry river to suddenly appear, cutting through Jue Ying's forelimbs.

Jue Ying's limbs didn't have any bone armor to protect them. He immediately spat out dark purple wolf blood, which also carried a strong chill. It was still in mid-air, but it quickly froze. When it landed on the ground, it had already turned into a patch of deep purple frost. Quite a bit of wolf blood was sprinkled on Zhu Jue, the chill thick and the frost ice spreading. Regis raised his Iron Slash Sword and knocked on the Star Saber, causing the slaughter to tremble endlessly before sending the frozen wolf blood flying.

"Look at me!" At this time, Gao Hu rushed to the side. This short and sturdy man's aura was as heavy as earth, and the battle axe was emitting a yellow Origin Energy radiance. Gao Hu raised his axe and ruthlessly slammed it into the skeletal armor beside the demonic wolf, causing an ear-piercing sound of friction to resound in the valley. The battle axe created a spark on the armor, tearing a crack in the armor, but it was unable to injure its body. However, the demonic wolf was also sliced sideways by Gao Hu's axe. The intense impact vibrated through the armor, shadowless bones and organs. It was both shocked and furious. Turning its head, it opened its mouth towards Regis and Gao Hu and let out a silent roar that reached tens of thousands of frequencies!

Regis raised his leg and kicked Gao Hu away, taking the opportunity to dodge in the opposite direction. However, a series of faint ripples spread out and swept across the grass. In an instant, a puddle of mud and rocks and countless long grass exploded, causing a clamor to fill the air.

Black lightning pierced through the air and pierced into Jue Ying's body. Instantly, a patch of black ice spread out. The ice crystals continued to grow, instantly freezing the demonic wolf's limbs. After temporarily blocking off Jueying's movements, Fares lifted his spear upside down and rolled around. He used the spear as a long stick and swung it a few times to accumulate enough strength before smashing it onto Jueying's back. The demonic wolf's entire body trembled, smashing Fares to the ground with a spear, causing a shockwave.

When Jue Ying regained his breath, the three eyeballs on his head saw a ball of Vermillion Heavenly Flame rush towards him at the same time. In the next moment, his line of sight was filled with raging flames!

"Your Highness, we have lost contact with Diego." A man covered in thick black armor said in a deep voice. Behind him was a huge shield. He was like a moving fortress.

"Then leave him alone." Hawson kicked away the wolf corpse on the ground and looked at the cave in front of him. The roar of a wild beast could be faintly heard from the depths of the cave. Hawson's eyes shone, "The people of Julian must have discovered the Absolute Shadow. Let's go, that demonic wolf's head can only be mine!"

He plunged into the cave resolutely.

The heavily armored warrior was afraid that he would lose, so he followed closely behind. Then there were two men in dark green leather armor with two quiver bags on their backs and longbows decorated with patterns and bucks on their hands. Then there was a woman with two knives in her back and light dark red armor. As well as two warriors dressed in black armor, one of them had a saber hanging from his waist, while the other was carrying a nail-head hammer.

Along with Hawson, the seven of them disappeared into the shadows of the cave.

In the valley, the Absolute Shadow Man stood up. Countless blue-gray stripes lit up in the two crystals beside it. Large balls of ice and snow howled above its head, forming an ice ball. Absolute Shadow pounced down, and the ice ball flew towards Allen and the others. The surface of the ice ball fluctuated, and after flying for a certain distance, ice edges that emitted a chill continuously shot out from the ball.

Immediately, the valley was filled with ice edges. Jueying's Ice Spike's attack range had reached a diameter of 200 meters. Moreover, before the Origin Energy in the ice ball was used up, these ice edges would be continuously manufactured. At this moment, Gao Hu and the others didn't care about attacking Jue Ying, they could only dance their weapons to protect themselves, smashing the incoming ice prisms into pieces and sending them flying.

Alan narrowed his eyes. Red King's blade suddenly turned red. He locked onto the ice hockey ball and slashed it away. Flames appeared out of thin air and gathered into a crimson saber light. In the blink of an eye, he sank into the ice hockey ball and continued to move toward Extinction. The demonic wolf howled as its limbs paused on the ground. Its mountain-tall body leapt into the air, dodging the saber light. As for the ice ball in mid-air, a bright red light appeared. Then, it dislocated up and down, spitting out bursts of scorching heavenly flames from within, completely engulfing the ice ball.

The seemingly endless spray of ice finally stopped.

Alan watched as the demonic wolf landed again. Gao Hu and the others were still about to attack, but he suddenly withdrew his saber and said, "It's almost time. Stop attacking. Follow me!"

Gao Hu said with an unhappy expression, "Lord Count, why aren't you fighting? Are you afraid of that big dog?"

"Of course not, but I have other plans. Stop talking nonsense and follow me." Alan turned around and ran.

The other three exchanged glances and could only follow behind Alan. Jue Ying watched these uninvited guests make a fuss, but now he wanted to escape, how could he let them off? The demonic wolf roared as it followed. The grass flew everywhere it passed, and its momentum was extremely shocking.

A moment later, Jue Ying watched as a few humans entered the cave and followed without hesitation.

"Your Highness, there's light over there. It should be the exit." Inside the cave, the only woman in the team raised a torch and said to Hawson.

Hawson saw the light and walked forward without saying a word. The team in his hands could be said to have gathered elites. Apart from Diego, who was nurtured by him, the rest of them were experts that Roderick had recruited from the Imperial Army for him. The tall man with the heavy armor and shield came from the Grizzly Bear Armor Army. The woman with the two knives stabbed into her back was an elite member of the Crimson Blood Lion Royal Army. The two archers were from the Bucks Army. The last black-armored warrior came from the Night Black Wolf Army.

Apart from the Frost Wind Dragon Army and Dark Shadow Corpse Vulture, the two legion systems were not under Roderick's control, so there were no elites involved. However, with the strength of this team, Russen had no doubt about the killing of Absolute Shadow. Besides, aren't there still people from Julian fighting formations? When His Highness the First Prince thought this, the light in front of him suddenly dimmed. He could vaguely see something rushing into the cave. That figure was so huge that it almost completely obscured the light from the exit!

Behind him, two archers from the Bucks Army cried out in alarm at the same time. One of them shouted, "Your Highness, be careful, it's Absolute Shadow!" The more developed their eyesight was, the more they could see through the light of the torch.

Hawson was stunned and scolded, "What the hell, where's Julian's men? Then what kind of bullshit Earl is he going to be killed by Extinction just like that?"

Jue Ying pounced into the cave. He was already very familiar with this passageway to enter and exit the cave. As soon as he entered the cave, the flames on Hawson's side immediately attracted its attention. The demonic wolf was greatly annoyed. So those humans still had reinforcements. To Jue Ying, humans were similar in appearance, so he naturally wouldn't be able to distinguish whether the two groups of people were in cahoots or not. He immediately rushed towards the flames. After Jue Ying rushed over, behind a stone pillar in the cave, Alan stretched out his head and smiled in the direction of the fire.
