Chapter 3804: Light-Dark

~21 min read 4,028 words

In the vast hall, the array patterns on the ground emitted a faint ritual light. The Dark God Sect members, led by the Dark Twins, surrounded Su Xiao.

However, these Dark God Sect members were not out of their minds; they all kept a distance of more than 50 meters from Su Xiao, who was a Blade Master, to avoid being instantly killed.

Su Xiao, who was sitting on the metal chair, stood up. With this ordinary movement, the vicious Dark God Sect members around him actually took a few steps back subconsciously.

Zing~

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand was unsheathed. He pointed the long blade diagonally at the ground. The tip of the blade just slightly touched the array patterns on the ground. Just a slight scrape caused irreparable damage to the "Reverse Abyss Summoning Array" that had been painstakingly set up.

Seeing this scene, the Dark Elder Brother's eyes narrowed. There was no anger in those pitch-black eyes, but a terrifying brutality.

In turn, a smile appeared on the Dark Elder Brother's face. Standing about 1.6 meters tall, he said with a smile: "Law-Extinguisher, state your purpose."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, but the long blade in his hand cut across the array patterns at his feet again. With a zing, the array patterns suffered significant damage again.

As an Alchemy Master, Su Xiao knew exactly how to destroy this array. Therefore, every blade of his felt like it was cutting into the Dark Elder Brother's heart. By now, the Dark Elder Brother was already furious.

Compared to the Dark Elder Brother, his younger brother was calm—no, it should be indifferent. That height of over four meters, the metallic black hands, and the fine scales on them made it lack humanity, more of beastliness and a cruel desire to kill.

The Mystery Eye floated behind Su Xiao to detect the data of the Dark Twins.

【Mystery Eye activated. This detection will randomly select one attribute for enemy-self comparison. The random selection range is: Strength, Agility, Stamina, Charisma, Intelligence.】

【Random selection completed. The detection judgment attribute is: Charisma.】

【Enemy Charisma attribute is 268 points.】

【Enemy "Charisma Attribute Judgment" is 268 points.】

【Your Charisma attribute is -21 points.】

【Your "Charisma Attribute Judgment" is -315 points (15 times the judgment of -21 points).】

【Both sides Charisma attribute judgment in progress...】

【Judgment completed. Because the enemy's Charisma attribute is far higher than yours, you cannot view the enemy's combat data, but because your Charisma attribute judgment amount is greater than the enemy's, you successfully detected partial special data.】

Seeing these prompts, Su Xiao didn't feel confused. This judgment had to start from his "Charisma Attribute Exclusive Basic Passive." After he created "Basic Passive - Blood Awakening," he obtained several passive bonuses that only negative Charisma attributes had, one of which was:

"If you need to wear Charisma-characteristic equipment, it will be compared according to your own negative Charisma attribute × 15 Charisma judgment to decide whether it can be worn. Wearing or using Charisma-characteristic equipment in this way will greatly accelerate the consumption of equipment durability (25-30 times the speed of equipment durability consumption)."

This Charisma attribute comparison followed this judgment process. Su Xiao's Charisma judgment undoubtedly lost, but not completely, because 268 points of Charisma judgment was higher than -315 points of Charisma judgment, but the latter's value was larger.

【You have detected the following data.】

Name: Light/Dark Lord.

Category: Child of Elements/Child of Abyss/Former Dual Guardians of the Star Tower.

HP (Light Lord): 100% (approx. 700,000 HP).

HP (Dark Lord): 200% (approx. 1.8 million HP).

Light Power: 120,000/120,000 points.

Dark Power: 85,000/85,000 points.

Devouring Power: 5,000/5,000 points (Light/Dark Lord current state, cannot use this energy).

Real Strength (Light): 450 points.

Real Agility (Light): 518 points.

Real Stamina (Light): 380 points.

Real Intelligence (Light): 540 points.

Real Charisma (Light): 268 points.

————

Real Strength (Dark): 540 points.

Real Agility (Dark): 430 points.

Real Stamina (Dark): 540 points.

Real Intelligence (Dark): 260 points.

Charisma (Dark): 1 point.

Twin Skill 1, Light/Dark (Exclusive Passive, Lv. EX): Light Lord/Dark Lord both have 95% light attribute damage reduction and 95% dark attribute damage reduction. Among them, the Dark Lord additionally gains 25% physical reduction effect.

Twin Skill 2, Abyss/Child of Elements (Exclusive Passive, Lv. EX): The elder brother, Light Lord, has elemental characteristics, and the younger brother, Dark Lord, has Abyss characteristics. They can use abilities of the elemental and Abyss systems respectively.

Twin Skill 3, Twin Lord (Exclusive Passive, Lv. EX): Light and Dark intersect, thereby producing Devouring Power.

Warning: The Devouring Power produced after Light and Dark intersect is extremely dangerous. It will cause injuries that cannot be recovered by conventional or medium-high tier permissions. If hit in a vital area, there is a high probability of being killed or permanently losing some mastered abilities.

Su Xiao glanced at the main quest. Sure enough, the content of the main quest had changed from killing the Dark Twins to killing the Light/Dark Lord. This was not an error in the quest data, but that the Light/Dark Lord was called the Dark Twins in the outside world, while the main quest information label was based on this judgment. Subsequent quest executors needed to judge for themselves to know some secrets, thereby obtaining the true ability type of the Light/Dark Lord.

Among the Light/Dark Lord, the elder brother Light Lord's light-type elemental ability was astonishingly lethal. However, this time he encountered Su Xiao, who had 1160 points of elemental affinity.

On the contrary, the younger brother, Dark Lord, became a more troublesome existence. 1.8 million HP, high damage reduction bonuses, over 540 points of stamina, and over 540 points of strength—this was 51 points of strength higher than Su Xiao. After the battle started, it would be exceptionally dangerous. Fortunately, the Dark Lord's agility was 430 points, which was 59 points lower than Su Xiao's. This meant that in terms of speed, Su Xiao was leading by a large margin.

This was the benefit of balanced development of the four attributes. Su Xiao couldn't be higher than the main body attributes of some big bosses, but he could make up for this weakness through his strengths in other aspects, and even achieve a certain degree of overtaking.

Among the group of Dark God Sect members surrounding Su Xiao, there were two Supreme Tiers. They were named Balon and Gonsa. The man named Balon had a full beard and stood three meters tall, looking exceptionally powerful. Beside him, Gonsa looked like a damp, withered corpse, wrapped in bandages, with black body fluids soaking through these dirty bandages. Just from the visual sense, it made people feel exceptionally uncomfortable.

Whether it was Balon or Gonsa, they had no chance to become Supreme Tiers before, and only achieved Supreme Tier after joining the Dark God Sect and undergoing several Abyss baptisms. But this came at a price.

Balon and Gonsa looked at each other and retreated to the back of the group of Dark God Sect members without changing their expressions. Now they were dealing with the Shadow of Law-Extinguisher. They wouldn't rush to the front. These two knew the situation in the Eternal Light World where Supreme Tiers were everywhere. In that kind of crazy cage, this Law-Extinguisher could clean up the monsters there. Just thinking about this, Balon, who looked rough but was careful, began to feel terrified.

"Devour... to exhaustion."

The elder brother, Light Lord, floated up and pointed at Su Xiao. After this order was given, including Balon and Gonsa, the Dark God Sect members present felt the marks on their hearts become scorching hot, and a violent desire for destruction rushed into their brains. This was the price of obtaining dark power.

Boom!

Dark God Sect members rushed from the surroundings, triggering layers of air explosions. Even Balon and Gonsa, who were prepared to stay safe, were forced to rush forward by the dark marks. Among the two, Balon quickly mutated into a half-man, half-wolf. Judging from the silver-gray fur, this was definitely not a simple werewolf transformation. This guy... actually dared to covet the blood of the Moon Wolf.

Su Xiao, who was in the encirclement, saw the red light in the center of his pupils fade, turning into the blue light belonging to the Law-Extinguisher.

Snap!

A blue electric arc appeared beside Su Xiao. Just a blue electric arc as thick as a hair easily pierced through space.

At the heart position in Su Xiao's chest, a blue ring appeared. Starting from this point, blue electric arcs gushed out, centering on him, and spread toward the surroundings with a boom. This feeling was like a blue thunderbolt striking Su Xiao, not hurting him at all, but spreading toward the surroundings with terrifying momentum.

Snap-la-la~!

The electric arcs began to bounce in the air. While piercing through the air, they also riddled space with holes. All kinds of abilities aimed at Su Xiao were instantly bounced away by lightning chains and evaporated.

Facing the lightning tide rushing toward them, the Dark God Sect members, who were surging with killing intent due to the dark marks, all recovered their sanity. More than half of them had twisted expressions because the death perception rushing toward them made it difficult for them to suppress the fear in their hearts.

All the Dark God Sect members around jumped backward, but in an instant, they were enveloped by the lightning spread of the Green Shadow King.

"Green Shadow King (Active): Immediately consume 30% of maximum mana to convert into Green Steel Shadow energy, and let it transform into lightning, instantly enveloping a diameter of 3000 meters centered on you, causing 25,000 points of real damage + 4% of maximum HP as real damage, and definitely triggering the 'Soul Electro-shock' effect, causing enemies to fall into a 0.2-3 second body paralysis state.

Prompt: If two enemy targets within such a range are less than 5 meters apart, a lightning chain will be triggered. The lightning chain will bounce back and forth between the two enemy targets multiple times, each time causing 25,000 points of real damage + 4% of maximum HP as real damage (causing at most 125,000 points of real damage + 20% of maximum HP as real damage to a single target)."

Lightning chains bounced between the Dark God Sect members. Their bodies shattered like broken ceramics. Before the splashing blood droplets could hit the ground, they were evaporated by the countless blue-white lightning chains bouncing around.

Those Dark God Sect members who attempted to activate spatial abilities were even more miserable. When they luckily entered the process of spatial movement, because they were in a relatively narrow spatial environment, the lightning chains on them simply bounced back and forth in this narrow spatial environment, causing their bodies to shatter instantly.

As for Balon and Gonsa, who were relatively behind, Balon was exceptionally tragic. A lightning chain bounced from a big boss on the side. Looking at the blue-white lightning chain that was too fast to dodge, Balon raised one hand.

Snap!!

Balon's entire right arm shattered, but the destruction of the lightning chain didn't stop there. After shattering his entire right arm, it went straight for his right skull. Balon felt a buzz in his brain, and the vision of his right eye disappeared.

In the vision of others, Balon was hit by a blue-white lightning chain that shattered half of his skull, with broken skull fragments and brain matter splashing everywhere.

At this moment, including Balon, all the Dark God Sect members around had only one feeling: everywhere they looked, there was the Law-Extinguisher's blue lightning. This place had turned into a domain, a lightning chain spreading area where there was nowhere to escape and nowhere to hide.

Although severely injured, they were Supreme Tiers after all. Balon barely dodged a lightning chain from the left. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a lightning chain from behind hit his chest with a bang, leaving an arm-thick hole in his chest, with the surrounding flesh full of ceramic-like cracks.

Balon looked at Gonsa, and then he saw a scene he would never forget. A black smoke figure was standing beside Gonsa. Lightning chains bounced at high speed between the two. Gonsa's dirty bandages shattered, but he couldn't move his fingers at all.

Just see that black smoke figure holding a long-handled crystal war hammer, swinging it sideways at Gonsa, whose body was full of cracks.

Boom!!

Gonsa, who had the strength of the lower reaches of Supreme Tier, had his body, which was already full of cracks, smashed to pieces. After two more lightning chains bounced over, Gonsa's soul body was evaporated on the spot.

When everything calmed down, only the Light/Dark Lord and Balon, whose lower body was shattered, remained. The rest of the strong enemies who besieged Su Xiao had now become fragments all over the ground. These flesh fragments lost the elasticity of biological tissue, slowly floating with blood mist, and gradually evaporated.

Snap, snap~

The sound of flesh fragments being crushed reached Balon's ears. He barely opened his left eye. Before his vision recovered, he was grabbed by the neck by a hand wrapped in a crystal layer and lifted up.

"Law-Extinguisher... I, inherited a small amount of Moon Wolf... blood, don't... kill... me..."

Before Balon could finish his words, with a snap, his throat was crushed, and the blue lightning remaining on Su Xiao's arm entered Balon's body, completely destroying his soul.

After actually using the Green Shadow King, Su Xiao found that the skill description of the Green Shadow King was not accurate, or rather, its damage cap was calculated based on the lightning chain bouncing between two targets. But in actual combat, the lightning chains between enemies were exceptionally active. Some unlucky ones were hit by lightning chains bounced from three or four teammates around them. After the lightning chains pierced through, these enemies were instantly killed on the spot.

The lightning chains of the Green Shadow King were more terrifying than imagined. This thing could fuse while bouncing. Su Xiao saw with his own eyes that a lightning chain fused to the thickness of an arm. After this lightning chain hit the Dark God Sect member of the lower reaches of Supreme Tier who was covered in bandages, the other party's body was immediately covered in cracks, and then shattered by the Demon Spirit's crystal hammer strike.

Blood mist rose in the hall. Su Xiao held his left hand in a virtual grip, and the blood mist around him gathered toward his left hand, forming a blood core compressed to the extreme. Scarlet light bloomed, illuminating the Light/Dark Lord dozens of meters away.

The Light Lord on the side could already see cracks. Even though his light-type ability had strong healing power, he still couldn't heal the damage caused by the Green Shadow King in a short time.

The Dark Lord's situation was much better, only the armor clinging to his body had many cracks, and some black scales were damaged.

Compared to when he first appeared, the aura of the Light/Dark Lord was greatly reduced, or rather, there was a significant difference in combat power between a Law-Extinguisher who had fully awakened the Green Shadow King and one who hadn't.

The Light/Dark Lord ahead, the elder brother Light Lord, floated in mid-air with pitch-black eyes, while the younger brother Dark Lord had white light in his eyes, which made him look cooler and more violent.

Zing~

The Dark Lord drew two long blades over three meters long from the darkness. These two long blades were as wide as a palm, and there were eyes on the spine of the blades, all of which were crowded together, staring at Su Xiao.

【Warning: You are being stared at by the Dark Eye. You have a 50% probability of triggering an instant-death judgment.】

【You have triggered an instant-death judgment.】

【Judgment in progress...】

【Because of your 53 points of Abyss resistance, you have immunized against this instant-death judgment.】

With a sizzle, the two black blades in the Dark Lord's hands rubbed against each other, and black flames ignited on them, which could burn spirit and soul. While these black flames were burning, they also dripped a sticky, burning substance like asphalt onto the ground.

The Light Lord, floating more than ten meters above the ground, held his hands in a virtual grip. With a hum, a wisp of light flame formed in his hands.

Whoosh!

Light flames with elemental characteristics ignited on the ground of the hall and climbed onto Su Xiao. However, under his 1160 points of elemental affinity, this elemental-characteristic attack was really not very good. In normal circumstances, enemies would be exceptionally painful in the light flames, but this Law-Extinguisher had already stood in the light flames for a long time, and even was too lazy to go out to avoid revealing flaws during movement.

Wind pressure suddenly rushed toward him. The Dark Lord rushed toward him like a dark beast, making a low growl like a beast in his throat, and the black blade in his right hand slashed down.

"Light of Time."

The Light Lord in mid-air pressed down with one hand. Almost simultaneously, the air around Su Xiao turned from colorless to translucent, making him feel that everything around him slowed down, except for the black blade slashed by the Dark Lord, which didn't slow down at all.

Boom!

Su Xiao was shattered, turning into black iron sand-like substances and scattering. This was of course not him. Before being hit by the black blade, he swapped positions with the Demon Spirit.

One slash missed. The Dark Lord didn't care at all, but reversed the black blade in his other hand, stabbed it halfway into the ground, and then pulled it out with all his might.

With a boom, a dark shockwave appeared along with the sword pulling, spreading to the surroundings. The broken array patterns on the ground shattered with a crack. This hall also shattered due to this dark shockwave. If viewed from above, it would be found that with the Dark Lord as the center, the ground within 10 kilometers was pulled up with a boom, forming a huge black ring on the outer circle.

The array patterns were destroyed. The Light Lord was furious, but soon suppressed his anger. He knew that continuing to fight would only make the array patterns bind them, so it was better to destroy them. Moreover, the blue lightning just now had destroyed the array patterns to an irreversible degree.

The dark shockwave blasted Su Xiao to the distance, and the Light Lord split into several avatars, striving to drag Su Xiao for a while longer.

The Light Lord lowered his flight altitude, came behind the Dark Lord, and pressed one hand on his back. Light turned into life force, which was then devoured by the Dark Lord's darkness, allowing the Dark Lord's HP to recover rapidly.

The Light Lord had discovered a very serious problem: his elemental-type ability had no effect on this Law-Extinguisher. In normal circumstances, enemies would be exceptionally painful in the light flames, but this Law-Extinguisher had already stood in the light flames for a long time, and even was too lazy to go out to avoid revealing flaws during movement.

"Is this the catastrophe mentioned by the prophet? Fate... cannot bind us!"

The Light Lord used his right hand as a hand blade and slashed off his own left forearm with a "psst" sound. Light blood splashed from the broken arm. He tilted his body toward the Dark Lord and pushed the broken arm toward the Dark Lord's side neck.

Flesh merged and devoured. A giant mouth covered in sharp teeth formed on the Dark Lord's neck. Dark arms grew on the Dark Lord's shoulders and back, grabbed the Light Lord, stuffed his own elder brother into the blood basin giant mouth, chewed him to pieces cruelly, and then swallowed everything with a "gulp."

All this happened too fast, or rather, the Light Lord was too decisive. Realizing that his ability had no effect on the enemy, he decisively abandoned the first and second stages and entered the third stage form.

"Roar!"

The Dark Lord roared. No, now he should be called the Twin Lord. The armor on his upper body shattered, revealing a body covered in black scales. The scales on his right arm turned silver-white, and twisted wings grew on his back. These two black wings looked battered and didn't have flight ability at all, more like tattered cloaks hanging behind him.

But don't underestimate this pair of tattered wings. This was the source of the Twin Lord's power. Light/Dark two types of power gathered inside, thereby constituting Devouring. This was also the reason why this pair of wings was so battered.

The Twin Lord's silver right arm was even more robust. The original two black blades now had their straight blade spines facing each other, and with a "click," they adhered together, and all the eyes on them melted, allowing the two black blades to completely fuse together, turning into a three-meter-long black greatsword.

White threads with faint light spread along the spine of the black greatsword. When the Twin Lord's right hand gripped the Light-Dark Greatsword, black flames ignited on it. If observed carefully, it would be found that these black flames were mixed with white flames, giving it an astonishing power. Just a slight touch, and the space where it passed was burned through.

In the Twin Lord's pitch-black eyes, white ring-shaped pupils gradually appeared. This represented that the Light Lord's consciousness occupied the dominant position of this body, while the Dark Lord transferred his consciousness to the Light-Dark Greatsword.

The Twin Lord raised his left hand, and a pale bone mask formed in his hand. Between his gestures, there was a bit of eerie elegance.

Su Xiao walked with steady steps. On the long blade in his hand, white light particles were still floating, which represented that three avatars with more than half of the Light Lord's strength had been solved by him in such a short time.

Snowflakes fell in the sky. On the ground covered in cracks, Su Xiao and the Twin Lord were a hundred meters apart. Blood energy and darkness made the positions of both sides their respective aura domains, eroding each other.

Just as both sides were on the verge of breaking out, ready to fight to the death, the controller of Eternal Winter City, the Winter King, who was in a hidden place in the distance, had a different look in his eyes. If it were a hundred years ago, facing this situation, he would have taken the hundred personal guards around him and retreated immediately.

But now, the Winter King was running out of time. The weakness brought by old age and the approach of death made this former king's greed grow. His former wisdom had long been eroded by greed and the desire to live on, especially since there was dark source energy on the Twin Lord a few kilometers away that could prolong his life.

At this time, a few kilometers away, Su Xiao and the Twin Lord's aura confrontation had reached its peak. Blood energy and darkness eroded each other. Both sides looked at each other, neither having any intention of retreating.

However, suddenly, all the blood energy and darkness gathered. Su Xiao and the Twin Lord looked at the hiding place of the Winter King and others at the same time. Needless to say, both sides, who had decided to fight to the death, had already decided to kill all those hiding in the dark first, and then fight to the death.

In this decisive battle, neither Su Xiao nor the Twin Lord had the certainty of winning, but both sides agreed on one point: regardless of who won, it was based on real strength, and there was nothing to say if they lost. Therefore, they must not let those hiding in the distance become the final winners. ===== CHAPTER 3805 =====
