In other words, Mr. Shadow has been in a bad mood ever since Hilko gave up his pursuit of alchemy technology and started planning to master magic.
However, at that time, he was mostly depressed, depressed that his mission could not be completed smoothly.
But as Hilko launched his plan with confidence, Mr. Shadow's depression gradually turned into groundless worry.
Last night, for the first time, Mr. Shadow did not go to the wandering warbler in the dark alley to vent his anger. Instead, he stayed up all night, trying to use the skills he had learned in the Kinkou Sect to perform stargazing to predict his future destiny.
However, Zaun's thick haze made the starry sky blurry. Mr. Shadow finally tried his best, his eyes were almost blurred, and in the end he only came to some vague conclusions.
In Zaun, this was normal, but this normality still made him feel more uneasy.
Fortunately... today's operation went smoothly.
Silko persuaded the stupid law enforcement officer to bring along the newly defected Seveka, and successfully caught the children before the Piltover guys entered the mine.
What's even better is that there is no dangerous mage guard next to Mr. Shadow's mission target.
After following Lux and leaving the small area, Mr. Shadow finally felt relieved. He let out a long breath. Next, he only had to kill Lux in the dark, and then disguise everything as Pi City law enforcement entering the cave.
Just do it as an official...
This behavior undoubtedly harms innocent people.
But...so what?
Mr. Shadow is no longer an apprentice of the Kinkou Sect, he is now a member of the Shadow Stream, and the Shadow Stream allows this kind of harm for the greater good.
Mr. Shadow lurking in the shadows has been quietly observing Lux, watching her leave in panic, watching her leaning against the cold wall, looking frightened - at the same time, a shadow blade
It gradually took shape in the hands of Mr. Shadow.
"It's okay." Mr. Shadow held the shadow blade in his right hand, and the index and middle fingers of his left hand came together to brush against the sharp edge of the shadow blade. He comforted in a low voice that only he could hear, "Soon, I promise, there will be nothing."
Any pain."
The next moment, Mr. Shadow stretched out his shadow blade and headed straight for Lux's temple.
This is the fastest, most effective, and most painless way to kill. When the sharp shadow blade reaches the target's temple, the power of the shadow will destroy the opponent's brain. In just a moment, the opponent will lose consciousness.
Letting Lux die without knowing it was Mr. Shadow's last mercy.
However... things developed beyond Mr. Shadow's expectations.
Just when the Shadow Blade quietly passed through the darkness and arrived in front of Lux, Mr. Shadow's front suddenly lit up.
The sudden strong light caught Mr. Shadow off guard, but he maintained his impact posture very well. Although his body wanted to subconsciously dodge, the shadow blade in his hand was still inserted straight into Lux's temple.
Then, Mr. Shadow, who had adapted to the light, was shocked to find that his shadow blade was held by a lightsaber, half a foot away from Lux, unable to move forward.
Lightsaber?
Realizing that something was wrong, Mr. Shadow retreated - he tried to hide back in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to fight again.
But the lightsaber in Lux's hand moved with the shadow, always following Mr. Shadow.
With just one move, the situation was reversed, and Mr. Shadow was at an absolute disadvantage.
Mr. Shadow had just attacked Lux at full speed with the intention of being liberated. However, now that he was suddenly counterattacked, he could only retreat in embarrassment.
Lux, who was well prepared, pretended to be tired and scared, panting like a helpless prey, but in fact she was secretly accumulating strength and mobilizing magic power. As soon as Mr. Shadow retreated, she followed him like an arrow from a string.
, coming directly to Mr. Shadow’s vital point!
Mr. Shadow was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
The lightsaber in Lux's hand can be said to look fearless and aboveboard - but when she actually uses it, her moves are shockingly cruel, completely inconsistent with her image!
The lightsaber turned into a trail of light in the darkness, and easily swept through many vital points on Mr. Shadow's body, forcing him to finally summon a shadow clone and exchange places with the clone.
After the subsequent pursuit.
After just one attack and one defense, Mr. Shadow realized that something was wrong - not to mention that the shadow tattoo made his chest hurt, but Lux's performance just now was enough to make him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
This little girl named Lux...is she a monster?
Just react quickly and strike hard.
What's worse is that this little girl used light magic - just in the collision between the lightsaber and the shadow blade, Mr. Shadow's shadow blade melted like ice and snow meeting the sun.
This is not only a restraint of attributes, but also means that Lux is completely ahead of him in controlling magic.
Judging from her age, she is only fifteen or sixteen years old at most. How could a little girl of this age have such amazing magic control and such crazy swordsmanship?
Even Shen and Jie, at this age, are just apprentices who are just getting a glimpse of the world!
After realizing this, Mr. Shadow felt his heart sink. He had realized that it was absolutely impossible for him to complete this mission.
Hilko messed with a guy he couldn't afford to mess with!
Therefore, Mr. Shadow turned to the direction of the exit without hesitation, and under the cover of darkness, he rushed out directly.
Harsh words?
No such thing!
As long as you leave the mine, everything will be fine.
As for Hilko…
The trouble you caused yourself, you deal with it yourself!
Mr. Shadow's speed was extremely fast. In almost the blink of an eye, he arrived at the turning point. As long as he walked more than a hundred meters, he could successfully reach the outside of the mine!
Naturally, Lux would not let him go easily. She followed him with a lightsaber in hand - and then embarrassingly discovered that she did not seem to have an advantage in speed.
What to do?
If it were another person, Mr. Shadow might have slipped away, but Lux, who had gone through a lot of theoretical study and simulation training, was obviously not an ordinary person.
This is not a simulation training, here, Lux can squander her amazing magic power unscrupulously!
The next moment, Lux raised the lightsaber horizontally and held the hilt with both hands.
Astonishing magic surged out and gathered on this sharp sword of light, causing this sword made purely of light elements to expand to an astonishing length in an instant.
Mr. Shadow, who originally thought he had escaped, was stabbed from behind by a physical lightsaber that suddenly grew to nearly forty meters long. It pierced his legs like a candied haws of apple.
After Mr. Shadow staggered and fell down, Lux waved away the lightsaber, came to him in a few steps, took off Mr. Shadow's belt without any scruples, and tied him up tightly.
The technique was so sophisticated that Mr. Shadow couldn't even think of breaking free.
Just like that, before Servica and the four children over there understood what was going on, Lux had already carried Mr. Shadow and returned to Vi's side.
