Chapter 50: Shadow Passage!

Shadows and darkness.

Inside and outside.

Both figures held their breath.

Suddenly.

"Boom— Rumble— Rumble—"

Thunder sounded in the distance.

No… a battle broke out at the high tower.

Blazing lightning accompanied the thunder, sweeping across the entire Lamoer High Tower City-state.

Almost treading on the thunder, Ta Ke fired a shot.

"Bang!"

The bullet's touch sank into the dark depths, stirring slight ripples.

Meanwhile, where Ta Ke stood, large swaths of meteorites plummeted down.

Ta Ke silently moved to the rear, sinking into the deep shadows beneath the trees.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

The ground was successively blasted open with several pits neither big nor small.

The pits themselves don't matter; what matters is the black fire within them.

Only to see, those black flames condensed into black scorpions the size of a palm,

The scorpions waved and swiftly vanished into the shadows, disappearing in an instant.

Dense gunfire rang out in succession.

"Bang bang bang…"

When the gunfire ceased.

Each of the scorpions that had fled into the shadows was pierced through by the bullet's touch, leaving them wrecked as they fell from the shadows.

Moments later they turned into black flame ash.

"Inside the red-brick house!"

A head of blond hair, clad in a white mage's robe—"Yasexun·Weier"

Gazing at the faint undulating afterglow of the attack on his life's coating ahead.

He had already realized this battle would not be simple.

He hid within the still Dim Sun.

Those outside could hardly discern his exact position.

Only a wide-area attack could reach him.

But that outside mage struck him with a single bullet-like attack.

Its fire meteors and the black-flame scorpions that had fled into the shadows were also easily dealt with by the opponent.

The opponent's mastery of shadow power and perceptive ability were both extraordinary.

"Something!"

Yasexun·Weier drew a deep breath.

Then he glanced toward the high tower.

There erupted an astonishing battle surge.

And yet, despite how deeply he had hidden himself, he was discovered.

"I'm afraid…"

The enemy came prepared.

But so what?

He reached out and grabbed, and the power of source energy and the Dim Sun swiftly coalesced.

"A first-rank peak mage is just right for me; capturing and consuming him will better stabilize my Dim Sun ecology."

"Mother… did you see that?"

Yasexun·Weier gently stroked the white mage's robe at his chest.

There lay a woman's delicate face, like a human skin!

"Thump thump thump!"

Just then, five or six items sprang quickly through the doors and windows.

These non-magical items were thrown in via an extremely covert method.

Until they collided with the indoor floor and walls.

And their landing spots happened to be around Yasexun·Weier.

Only then did Yasexun·Weier realize the gravity of the situation.

"Boom——"

The explosion of the alchemical bomb was like a thunderclap, its sound shaking the wilderness.

Even the darkness was squeezed out the window.

Several alchemical bombs exploded simultaneously; this impossible feat was precisely controlled by that outside mage.

And the explosion of this precise detonation.

The terrifying shockwave and the metallic frenzy of the alchemical bomb.

At this moment Yasexun·Weier fully felt the might of alchemical technology.

That liquid-like condensed state, the Life Plating, had even more layers destroyed.

"Damn……Roar……"

The angry roar was sharp and piercing.

And from that surging darkness, Ta Ke saw something familiar—the Dark Sun!

"Don't let him condense the Dark Sun."

Following the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand.

Whoosh……

Whoosh……

Whoosh……

Fire oil bombs fell one after another into the house without cease.

The fire oil bombs' matching trajectory was also very peculiar.

The trajectory when passing through the door was roughly the same, but after one bounce.

After that, the fire oil bombs' trajectory became completely different.

Some fell on the floor, some on the ceiling, some on the walls……

At the moment of the second impact, the fire oil bombs instantly turned into thick fire oil and instantly burst.

If it were merely plain fire, it probably still couldn't dispel the Dark Sun.

But within the burst of a large area of crimson flame, there was still a hint of holy light.

With the aid of Precision Correction, the fire oil bombs and the Light-Shaping Spear achieved a certain witchcraft linkage.

The light in the flame contains holy light—this makes sense, right!

The holy light's fervent burning.

The Dark Sun's power was obviously suppressed.

Strike while you're sick to take your life!

Ta Ke went all out with firepower, fire oil bombs continuously fed along the doorframe, constantly thrown into the house.

The fire light squeezed out through the window and climbed up the wall.

In the blink of an eye, the entire modest red-brick house was already engulfed in a sea of fire.

And the power of holy light grew stronger and stronger.

"Hum……"

A heavy, muffled sound like a blow to the heart suddenly rang out.

Not only did the flames tremble along with it.

Even Ta Ke's heart violently pounded.

The evil god's strange power—Ta Ke had felt it before, not for the first time.

He forcibly suppressed the discomfort coming from his heart.

In the corner of his eye, he caught the trajectory about to surge.

Ta Ke directly activated the Shadow Ring Staff's Shadow Passage, moving from the current shadow's position to another shadow.

Shadow Passage is also one of the most powerful abilities of the runic shadow magic staff.

At the same time, a streak of Dark Sun light pierced the flames and shot out.

Sizzle——

At Ta Ke's former position, even the shadow was torn apart.

The speed of that Dark Sun light was indeed astonishingly fast.

Yet it perfectly matched Ta Ke's Shadow Passage, the two passing each other by.

"Just a little bit."

Arthur Wilson's figure emerged from the Dark Sun light, gazing at a patch of shadow under a tree not far away, murmuring softly.

At this moment, the position of Arthur Wilson's shoulder.

Two black Dark Sun light balls burned like candle flames.

Ta Ke glanced twice at the burning Dark Sun candle flame, feeling a slight dizziness.

Ta Ke quickly adjusted his gaze.

Just at the instant of Ta Ke's slight dizziness.

Enveloped, permeated, suppressed, transformed.

Witchcraft: Sheep Transformation Technique, was cast.

Arthur Wilson's Sheep Transformation Technique directly completed the spell guidance, and the target was none other than Ta Ke.

"Goodbye!"

Arthur Wilson waved his hand with a smile.

His Sheep Transformation Technique had already reached level 19.

It was his proudest witchcraft.

That mere level-18 witcher, Arthur Wilson clearly felt that the opponent had no witchcraft involving transformation sequence power.

In other words, the opponent had not mastered the power of Sheep Transformation Technique.

Without mastering the Sheep Transformation Technique sequence, one cannot resist nor be exempt from becoming a sheep.

As long as he seizes the opportunity, the victory will be decided outright.

As a core witchcraft of witches, the Sheep Transformation Technique's might is just this formidable.

The outline of a sheep's body appeared on Ta Ke.

The next moment, the outline of the Sheep Transformation Technique shattered with a bang.

"Huh? What's going on?" Yàsèxùn·Wéi'ěr's face darkened slightly.

"Oh, right!"

At that moment, Tǎkè slowly walked out from the shadows.

"You didn't sense that I have the Sheep Transformation Technique's witchcraft sequence, so you wanted to perform the Sheep Transformation on me and finish me off directly?"

【126) "Unfortunately... what you can see is only what I want you to see."

"Unfortunately... what you can see is only what I want you to see."

This time, Yàsèxùn·Wéi'ěr's complexion changed somewhat.

The wizard before him employed methods more astonishing than he had imagined.

"I forgot to mention one more thing."

"Guess why I forced you out of the house?"

Upon hearing that, Yàsèxùn's face changed dramatically.

"Not good!"

Yàsèxùn abruptly turned his head toward the cottage engulfed in flames.
