Dean followed behind Kodo, the Shadow Arrow.

However, even as Dean tried his best to catch up, the distance between the two sides continued to grow larger and larger, until the black dot in the sky representing the 'Shadow Arrow' Kodo disappeared.

Dean, who didn't give up, moved in the direction of the other party's disappearance again for about an hour, expecting to find something.

However, the results were disappointing.

There is not the slightest hint of usefulness.

Dean let out a helpless sigh in his heart, but he was not more discouraged.

After all, he knew that the [agility] of the 'Shadow Arrow' Kodo was not only far superior to him, but also, because of the 'road', he was able to take off and fly.

Either way, he can't compare.

What's more, Dean had expected this outcome.

Standing in place, Dean slightly discerned the direction and prepared to return to the capital of the King of Gosai.

But just when he just took a step, the sense of crisis in his heart flashed again.

Without thinking about it, Dean flew away from the spot.

Burst!

An arrow of fine iron shot out of the shadows and pointed straight at where Dean had been standing, and the whole arrow disappeared directly into the ground, leaving only a small hole.

"Kodo!"

Dean narrowed his eyes and looked into the shadows of the woods.

"Huh!"

With a burst of laughter, the figure of the 'Shadow Arrow' Kodo stepped out of the shadows.

"I thought I was going to fail, but I didn't expect it...... You really will follow as Your Highness says! Since you can keep up, then you don't have to go! ”

Cordo looked at Dean in front of him, on that quaint face. The smile turned cold.

Meantime. A crystal in the shape of a long strip appeared in his hand.

It is about the length of an adult's palm. Two fingers wide, with sharp ends, I was in Kodo's hand, and it was flashing constantly.

And with the flickering of such light, a different kind of aura began to appear around.

"That's your winning card?"

Dean asked rhetorically as he felt the stickiness around his body.

This sticky feeling is like falling into a quagmire. It was very uncomfortable.

However, this is not in Dean's eyes.

With his strength, it was enough to ignore such a sticky feeling.

"Of course not!"

Codo laughed again, his palm slammed.

Syllable!

The long crystal shattered.

It's like dust, these crystal powders are full of the two of them, and the viscosity is getting clearer and clearer, and around the two of them, a translucent stance appears.

Apparently. The surroundings are cordoned off.

"The breath of the 'moon'? The Holy Maiden of the Ring of Morbius? ”

Dean didn't notice the changes around him, but sensed the familiar aura that remained on the crystal powder. Blurted out almost the next moment.

"Tsk, it seems that you have a very good memory of this Holy Maiden! After all...... She is your nemesis - your darkness, in her moonlight, is always hidden! ”

Kodo said in a slurp.

"You're still willing to cooperate with the Ring of Morbius, isn't the previous lesson enough?"

Dean sneered.

"Of course, we only made a slight mistake before, and Your Highness is already correcting it - you are the beginning of this correction?"

Kodo replied with a nonchalant attitude.

"Well, what about Findel? Isn't he here to see my 'mistake' corrected? ”

Dean asked, looking around.

"Your Highness, there are other things! Not to mention...... Even if His Highness is here, do you think you can hijack Your Highness in front of me and turn the situation around? Don't be whimsical! If it's near the royal capital of Gaosai, with the Emerald Grand Duke and the 'Angry Sword' Sadie, you may still have such a chance! But, now? What do you think I've spent so much time bringing you here? Your 'darkness' is restrained by 'moonlight', and the force field around you makes your speed useless! And if you want to escape, it becomes a luxury! ”

Codo looked at Dean sarcastically.

"Alright, alright! Won't you be affected? ”

Dean shrugged his shoulders and gestured around.

"Of course I'm affected, but ...... I'm not resistant to 'moonlight', unlike you - under the 'darkness' is restrained, how much strength do you have? Fifty percent or sixty percent? ”

Codo sneered and raised the longbow in his hand and slowly pulled the bowstring.

"You're also restricted? Then I'm relieved! ”

Dean said.

"Humph! To this day, I still want to use words to 'turn defeat into victory'...... Fulllin, you're so proud! ”

Kodo frowned, but soon let out a cold snort.

"Words to 'turn defeat into victory'?"

Dean was stunned, then let out a chuckle as he tossed the chain scythe aside.

"Do you want to be caught? Unfortunately, Your Highness wants your life - as long as you die, Vivien won't last long! ”

Cordodo watched Dean's movements, and the sarcasm on his face became richer.

"No, no, I just want to end you in the way I'm good at!"

Dean shook his head.

Then, on his left hand, a scorching flame began to appear, and on his right hand, the extremely cold freezing air froze the surroundings.

"This, this...... Zelgaon! ”

Codo's eyes widened as he watched this incredible scene, and then, when Dean's body swelled rapidly, tearing the cloak on his body, he looked at Dean for what he was, and couldn't help but exclaim.

And Dean didn't mean to answer at all, just smashed his fists.

You know, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Dean!

……

It is only four days away from the capital of the King of Gosai, and it is only four days away.

In the castle of the King of Rido, Prince Findel is doing it by the bedside. Drinking a pair of potions.

Ever since he was wounded by Sadie 'Raging Sword'. Every day such a pair of potions. It has become a necessity for him, and this process will inevitably continue for a long time.

After all, the blow of Sadie, the 'Sword of Fury', was too strong.

If it weren't for the protection of Kodo the Shadow Arrow and the healing potions he carried, Findel would have died.

"Sadie 'Raging Sword', and my good brother Eddie......"

Findel muttered, on his handsome face. A touch of frost emerged.

For these two people, he will never let go.

And, of course, that niece of his!

The ultimate 'winner' in this program!

The same is true of this 'thief' who takes advantage of the fisherman's profits!

Moreover, he had already thought of a way to deal with the other party - death, that is the simplest thing, he has countless methods, which can make people live but not die!

This is especially true after learning about the weaknesses of some people.

"Vivien! You'll find that what you get so lightly, you lose in a much lighter way...... When the time comes. I'll let you be haunted by fear in that secret room for the rest of your life! ”

Clear words. Findel's face was already hideous.

However, the next moment, a feeling of discomfort swelled in his heart-

It's as if something has been lost.

Slightly stunned, Findel immediately pulled out a piece of parchment contract from the inner lining.

Above, the name of Kodo looms.

Eventually, it was gone.

Then, the whole contract burned violently, and the flames were raging.

"Codo is dead!"

Findel froze there, ignoring the burning and stinging sensation of the flames.

It took him a moment before he came back to his senses.

"Someone!"

Findel shouted.

"Your Highness!"

A member of the Sharpshooter squad appears in front of Findel.

"Pack your belongings, let's leave overnight!"

Findel commanded.

"Yes!"

The members of the Sharpshooter squad were full of doubts, but they did not hesitate at all and answered directly.

"Damn it!"

And when the members of the Sharpshooter team left, Findel cursed in a low voice, he couldn't hide his anger and panic at this time.

Because, the biggest hole card in his hand, has been lost.

He took several deep breaths.

Findel forced himself to calm down.

He needs to be calm, because it's about his life.

Once the news of the death of the 'Shadow Arrow' Kodo came, needless to say, his current collaborators, even the county king of Riddo, who had always been obedient to him, would be the first to attack him.

Then, as a gift, he gave his head to his niece.

"Damn it!"

At the thought of that, Findel cursed again.

"Hey, what is it that makes our Prince Findel so angry?"

A soft, nice voice suddenly appeared behind Findel, and suddenly, Findel's body stiffened.

Then Findel turned around as if nothing had happened—

"Your Excellency!"

Findel said in his usual tone.

Behind Findel was the saintess of the Ring of Morbius.

Even in the daytime, a faint glow of moonlight appeared beside the holy woman, and the holy woman stood in the moonlight, without speaking, and looked at Fendel with a smile.

Anyone who sees this picture will feel a sense of tranquility and beauty.

However, in Findel's heart, there was an irrepressible fear at this time.

After a few moments, the Holy Maiden of the Ring of Morbius spoke—

"Don't worry! I'm not going to kill you! Because...... You're still of great use! ”

The saint said.

Findel's body stiffened again, and he pretended to be puzzled and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"What do you mean? My subordinate sent me the news that the 'Shadow Arrow' had failed to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen, and that he had been beheaded by Fullin, and his head had been hung on the wall...... Maybe you'd like to see it for yourself? ”

The saint said with a chuckle.

"What do you want to do?"

Findel was silent for a moment before asking.

"As I said...... You're of great use! ”

The saint laughed again.
