Using the direction of the light source and the interlacing of light to disperse all existing shadows - even though his bloodline gave Leia the talent to control fire, he had been practicing for this for a whole year.
However, this is just the beginning.
Even if he can't escape into the shadows, Setsuna is still the most outstanding swordsman. Unlike him, the successor of the "King of Shadows" has learned fighting, killing and survival since childhood. If he is not careful, he will be killed.
Just like the names recorded in the "Mist Department" documents, they became another victim of that sharp blade and disappeared silently from the world.
He set up his spear, tensed his nerves, and watched every move in the moment.
The swordsman in black obviously had no intention of escaping or seeking reinforcements - on the contrary, he gently raised the sword with a smile full of joy and excitement on his face.
"Amazing." Setsuna said, "It seems you have made a lot of preparations." He raised his eyebrows, his smile mixed with indifference and playfulness, "The problem is, you can wait patiently for so long, but you choose this
Launching an attack at the right time...what are you worried about?"
Leia did not answer. He was sure that both he and the other party knew the answer. The "King of Shadows" mentioned these things just to distract him and launch a fatal surprise attack.
Setsuna understands his strength just as he understands the danger of the other party.
The secret room in front of him was not spacious. Although this limited the help from the "Shadow Club", it also prevented him from wielding the weapons in his hands with all his strength. The two were about twenty feet apart - about the height of three adult men, which meant that the weapons
The longer one temporarily has the advantage.
The premise is that the other party does not find an opportunity to break the distance between the two.
"I know it even if you don't tell me." Setsuna seemed to be narrating easily, which was in perfect contrast to Leia's serious expression. "You live for revenge, but you have feelings for a few little girls... Don't you understand?
?" He shook his head slightly, "Your heart is no longer solid, and your gun-"
The light of the sword cut through the distance between the two, and clashed with the spear ten feet in front of Leia, making a harsh sound.
"Still as sharp as ever." The young man holding the gun narrowed his eyes, looked at Setsuna and stepped back, and said expressionlessly.
The face of the "King of Shadows" trembled slightly, seeming to be happier, "This is better." He licked his lips, swallowed, and then changed the topic, "You know what? Those who try to escape from here
But where did the 'half-demon' who failed and died in the cold finally go?"
Leia responded with a fierce thrust. Unfortunately, Setsuna still remained alert enough. After several exchanges of weapons, the two returned to the confrontation, but their positions were changed to opposite sides of the room.
"Also, don't you want to know what happened to those 'monsters' that attacked Ziye Town thirty-three years ago and ultimately led to the death of your parents?" Setsuna continued the rambling topic, only with a slightly cold tone.
"You have been away from "The Pale Hand" for too long. I'm afraid you still don't know that those people have already received the same fate as your mother...whether they were alive or dead."
Those are all your actions, and that’s why I want to take revenge on you. Leia repeated this thought to keep her mind calm. It was not only for herself, but also for the hopes that awakened him.
He once again believed...maybe youkai, a girl who can coexist peacefully with humans.
So he must not fail. Moreover, if they prove themselves, maybe Wei Feng...will be willing to give up his 'obsession', right?
It was another brief confrontation. As a result, Leia came to a place close to the altar, and the "King of Shadows" was only a few feet away from the closed stone door. In his opinion, this was meaningless at all - he had already
After investigation, it was found that the door of the secret room can only be closed or opened from the inside, and a lengthy ritual is required. If Setsuna's purpose is to open the stone door, he has enough confidence to stop it...or directly kill the opponent.
"You're thinking...why I came here, right?" The words of the swordsman in black came just right, "Just like you have thought before, whether I had expected your 'visit' -"
He took half a step to the right, swung the handle of the knife seemingly casually, and knocked on the wall behind him, "Now let me tell you, the answer is correct."
Invisible magic instantly covered the entire secret room, and the orange fireworks that filled the air struggled for a moment, and then were all extinguished. Along with them, all the aura belonging to the "King of Shadows" disappeared.
For Leia, this almost means a complete failure of the assassination. To fight against Setsuna in the dark, even if he and Wei Feng join forces, it will be extremely difficult. Even if he is lucky enough to injure the opponent, the "King of Shadows" can use the ability to freely enter and exit the shadows.
Ability to easily escape his pursuit.
If it were the original him, he would probably try his best to escape from the secret passage, save his life, and wait for another better opportunity. But Leia knew very well that since he had trapped himself in this place, it would not be that easy to escape. Moreover, in the end,
The important thing is that he doesn't plan to do this now.
He understands Setsuna just as Setsuna understands him. The "King of Shadows" will never easily let go of those who challenge him, so...he still has the only chance.
A sense of crisis emerged from behind, before he could react - or in other words, he deliberately suppressed his instinct and allowed the cold, narrow metal to penetrate his back, heart and chest. He threw away the spear in his hand and relied on
Feeling the feeling, he swung his arms back and firmly grasped a slightly hard cylindrical object.
At the same time, the soft but bright light ignited again.
The blood turned into flames, breaking the restriction of magic power and dispelling all visible shadows. Leia turned her head, her eyes met the face of the "King of Shadows" who was close at hand, and she clenched her right hand tighter.
He could hardly feel the pain, but the constant loss of physical strength reminded him that time was running out. As a 'half-demon', he still had the energy to fight back after being pierced through vital parts, but... for him, that was
It is still a fatal and irreparable injury.
If he had the power of Wei Feng, maybe everything would be different. Leia sighed secretly, and at the same time gathered all the 'spiritual power' belonging to the monster in her body——
"Maybe this way, I can reunite with my father and mother." The young ranger seemed to be saying to himself, "Are you right, 'King of Shadows'?"
Setsuna didn't answer him. The swordsman in black tried hard to pull his arms away from his hands, but in terms of strength, Leia, who had monster blood, was obviously better.
"It's a pity that I can't hear that guy admit his mistake, and I can't witness the ending of this story." Leia squinted her eyes and pursed her lips slightly, "Who told me that this was my 'mission'."
Moreover, he couldn't confirm the corpse of his enemy with his own eyes - but he had accomplished everything he was supposed to do, and probably... the rest would be left to a few people he "trusted" who were still alive.
With the dazzling light blooming, Leia Lenno's last consciousness returned to the world between heaven and earth with peace of mind.
