The shadow came in a hurry, and almost the moment it was thrown out of the shadows, it had already flown in front of Kokire.

However, Kokire's movements were not slow.

The heavy sword in his hand swung suddenly, and it slashed straight down from this black shadow.

Kokire's attack could almost be said to be an all-out blow, so not only was the black shadow split in two, and then fell heavily beside Kokilei, but the ground was also smashed into a huge pit by the heavy sword. And the destructive power is far more than that, a huge crack extends out of the pit, quickly stretching towards the shadow at an extremely exaggerated speed, with the expansion of this tentacle-like riftle, the earth at the edge of the crack is also constantly collapsing, just looking at the gloomy state of the pit, it is impossible to imagine how deep this ground sink is.

However, such a horrific destruction obviously still could not threaten the mysterious man hiding in the shadows.

The crack in the ground ceased as it spread five centimeters into the shadow, as if some strange force was protecting the shadow.

It's just that the power from Kokilei should not be underestimated, and the two forces seem to be in a wrestling stalemate, and they begin to clash in this space. Under the impact of these two powerful forces, subtle cracks began to gradually emerge in the air, as if a piece of glass had been erected between the two, and the super sonic impact was gradually causing this piece of glass to collapse and shatter.

"Kind of interesting, ho-ho." A low voice came from the shadows, and it seemed to be laughing, but the laughter sounded a little weird.

Followed by. I heard a sudden muffled sound of "bang" from the earth.

With this dull sound, the heavy force that had been trying to attack the shadows suddenly seemed to crash into a solid rock erected in the midst of a rushing river. The whole force began to spread out of control to the left and right. And what is even more terrifying is the backlash of the new forces. The speed and force of the ground collapse has been significantly exacerbated.

Large swaths of land began to collapse frantically, and dust and mist flew up like demons ravaging the world.

In an instant, the earthy yellow sand mist completely filled everything around them.

If you look down from the sky at this moment, you can see that somewhere in the originally dark and desolate Forest of Sighs, a huge earthy yellow sand mist has suddenly risen that can be called to cover the sky and the sun. I'm afraid that even a scout with a good sense of direction will never be able to find the right direction and get out of here if he unfortunately falls into this dust and fog.

I don't know how long it took.

As Koukire's face began to show impatience and anxiety, the obscuring dust and mist finally dissipated with the wind.

By the time the field of vision was finally fully visible and restored, it was more than fifty meters wide. A huge crater of unknown length stretched from east to west, like a cliff of a broken wall, between Kokire and the shadow. If you stand on the edge of this huge pit and look down, you can see that the edges of the broken walls on both sides are extremely smooth, as if a sharp blade has cut horizontally, unless you have wings on your back or have the power to float in the air, once you fall into this pit, you may never see the sun again.

Kokire's right hand moved slightly, and he slowly lifted the exaggerated and huge silver-white heavy sword—his movements were so slow, as if the heavy sword that he should have wielded freely suddenly became extraordinarily heavy. So much so that even he couldn't hold it anymore. However, as Kokire's movements became slow and with a sense of heaviness that could be felt just by looking at him, the battle intent on his body became more awe-inspiring, and his momentum also became extraordinarily strong.

However, even the spirit has reached the peak state of Kokilei. His gaze in the shadows at this time did not show the slightest lightness, but was more cautious, dignified and solemn than before. If it is said. After coming into this world, Kokire was the first enemy he could find tricky and unwilling to devour. Then it is definitely the person hiding in the shadows in front of him.

"Truly, abruptly." The hoarse laughter, like the blowing of a dilapidated blower, began to echo in the forest of sighs. "What a good energetic little ghost. …… Although you have begun to gradually assimilate and accept this world, the aura of fate in you has not completely subsided. …… It's just that compared to the second breath of fate that has appeared recently, you are much weaker. ”

Kokilei stared at the shadow expressionlessly, not shaken in the slightest by the other party's words, and the whole person did not show the slightest flaw.

"Is the limit eighteenth? …… No, it should be the nineteenth order. The man in the shadows didn't seem to care about Ko Kilei's attitude at all, but still said to himself, "But you are currently only in the sixteenth order, are you limited by the strength of the Summoner of Fate?" …… Sean, that guy who hasn't seen him in almost two years is still such a waste. If you want to fully regain your strength, I'm afraid it's only possible to get that waste to step through the door of the legend. ”

Koukire was like a machine, and there was no second expression on his face except solemnity and vigilance, and he remained as determined as he had been at the beginning. He may not be used to talking, and he doesn't like to communicate with others, and more often he follows his own ** and acts, but this does not mean that he is not wise. As beings summoned by special means, he and Sean are symbiotes in a sense - one-sided symbiotes, of course.

In other words, if Sean dies, then he will die too. But if he died, Sean wouldn't die because of it. But these are not real problems, the most important thing is that if Sean dies before he dies, then he will be punished very severely, as for betraying Sean, then it is naturally even more impermissible - the only way to die in front of Sean and escape punishment is to die under Sean's orders and instructions.

Kokire didn't think about dying because he didn't like the space he had been in. On the contrary, he was very happy with the world. Although it is not possible to eat enough in many cases, and even if you are able to eat a few times, you will quickly use up all stored energy in the rest of the battle. But Kokire still didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with this.

Even if Kokire knew that the mysterious man in the shadows was difficult to deal with, he would not back down or waver because of this.

Of course. After the other party mentioned Sean's name, Kokire became more vigilant. As mentioned before, Kokyre is not a creature without intelligence and consciousness, but he is just too lazy to think and communicate, and after the other side clearly expresses his disdain and dissatisfaction with Sean, if Kokyre does not become more vigilant and cautious, then he is abnormal.

"You don't need to be so vigilant." The mysterious man in the shadows spoke again, "While I do belittle that shit, Shaun, I'm not going to do anything to you. …… Of course. and do nothing to the people whom you are here to protect. …… You see, isn't the gift I just gave you the best proof of this? ”

Gift?

Kokire's brow furrowed slightly. He thought about it for a while, and then he finally remembered the black shadow that the other party threw at him at the beginning. It's just that Kokilei didn't really believe the other party, so he naturally didn't check it because of the other party's words, but glanced at it a few times from the corner of his eye.

Soon, Kokire could see what the other party was talking about as a gift.

It was the killer with the severed arm who had escaped earlier.

It's just that at this time, the killer has been cut in two by Kokire, and he can't die anymore. Or rather, before being cut in two by Kokire. The killer was already a corpse. Because Kokire could see the look of horror on his face, especially when combined with his bluish complexion, which had completely turned iron blue, this look of horror was particularly obvious and penetrating.

"What a vigilant little ghost." The voices in the shadows were a little unhappy with Kokire's cautious observation.

But this time, it was accompanied by a sound. There is also the appearance of shadows surging.

Kokire's pupils shrank suddenly.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the shadow was not the natural shadow formed by the sun shining on the object at all. Rather, it is a dark area condensed by powerful magic. This dark area can block all rays of light, and it is naturally the most relied upon protection for some powerful mages. Therefore, the power impact that Kokilei had previously collided with was not the counter-force impact cast by the other party, but this dark barrier!

In other words. This person hiding in the "shadows" is definitely a powerful magician!

When the darkness swelled like boiling water, all the darkness immediately began to reced, like the night that began to retreat and disappear in the light of dawn. And after this darkness completely disappeared, the mysterious man who had been hiding in the darkness was completely exposed to Kokire's sight.

It's a skeleton dressed in black and red mage robes!

Or rather, a lich!

The lich's eyes were fanning a deep purple soul fire, a mark characteristic of the Lich King. The black mage robe with a hint of red veins on his body was obviously also a magic prop, at least Kokire could see that the black fabric on the mage robe flowed on its own as if it had consciousness, a few golden tasseled ribbon buttons were tied to the mage robe, and the edge of the high collar was particularly sharp - maybe the darkness just now was the special ability attached to this mage robe.

The lich held a staff made entirely of white bone in his right hand, but the white bone material on the staff was polished to a very bright surface, and even exuded a cold luster like jade. At the top of the staff, there were several uniquely shaped barbs that looked like the hand bones of some kind of powerful demonic beast - the authentic hand bones of this hand were a deep black gem the size of an adult's fist, and the undead energy contained in it was the most Kokire had ever seen.

If there had to be an accurate assessment of the energy contained in this gem, then Kokyre believed that the energy contained in such a black gem, if detonated, would be enough to destroy at least a third of the Void Duchy's territory!

This is an extremely powerful Lich King!

Of course, if Cecilia or Shaun were present, they would have been able to identify the Lich King in no time.

One of the Seven Great Witches of the Bone Plane, the Scourge of the Undead. Lake.

"You're strong, but you're like a blank sheet of paper and don't understand anything." There was a sense of arrogance in Ryker's voice, but this was also in line with his identity as one of the seven great witches of the corpse plane, maybe Kokilei dared to compete with Rake in the heyday when his strength was fully restored, but now, Kokilei didn't want to do this, "The strong do have the capital to act according to their own **, but you almost killed the people you need to protect." ”

When he said this, Lake glanced at the unlucky legendary powerhouse who was completely devoured by Kou Kire's source of life: "The living Devourer clan, I really want to take it back and study it well...... Almost before this sentence was finished, Kou Kilei became more vigilant, and this reaction naturally caused a strange laugh from Ryker: "If I really wanted to bring you back for study, you would have already become an experiment on my dissecting table." …… You're making so much noise in this forest that I have to come out and see what's going on. ”

Kokire made a cautious and cautious movement so that he wouldn't believe what a lich said, especially a lich king.

"Don't worry, I'm also interested in you, but I'm more interested in the little girl who plays with fire." Ryker let out a strange laugh, and his strength was so strong that he didn't take Kokire to heart at all, "I've been following you for days. If it weren't for me in control, you think you would have been able to walk so easily in this forest? Since that little girl wants to cultivate the abilities of those girls, then I don't mind sending them more bone racks to practice, these bone racks are not worth much anyway. …… But I was quite optimistic about that guy before, and maybe I could make a good Abyssal Death Rider or even a Silent Death Rider, but it's a pity. ”

With that, Lake suddenly raised his hand and popped out a white bone fragment.

Kokire wanted to swing his sword and shatter it, but he didn't know why, and after a slight hesitation, he still chose to reach out and take the piece of bone. I saw a map drawn on the bone fragment, which had the exact same terrain distribution as the Forest of Sighs, but there was a mark on it, which made Kokire a little puzzled.

"That mark is the target of the little girl's trip, and they have been besieged by my troops. There are two guys in it who are not bad, at least those big toys that can defeat me, and I was going to solve it myself, but I have been with you for a few days, and I can see that there seems to be a target for that little girl among them, and I don't know who the target is, so I can not interfere in this matter. Lake said in a deep voice, the fire in his eyes burning extremely strongly, "However, you can only take the targets you need, and the others are not allowed to take them, and those are very good materials." …… Especially those two little ones who can kill so many of my men, I don't mind you eating all of their sources of life, but the corpses must be left intact for me, or else...... ......"

The old lich Ryker's strange laugh this time was full of threat, but he obviously didn't plan to stay here any longer. With the sound of his strange laughter, the darkness created by the magic of the undead engulfed the old lich once more, and then quickly disappeared from Kokire's perception entirely, leaving only the goosebump-inducing laughter echoing through the forest.

Kokire glanced around, but didn't immediately put away the heavy sword, for he didn't trust the lich.

However, after glancing at the bone fragment in his left hand and the corpse on the ground that had been cut in two, Kokire fell into a deep thought. (To be continued......)
