Chapter 96 [0094] Interweaving of Light and Shadow

Mr. Shadow was a little uneasy.

Or rather, ever since Hilco gave up his pursuit of alchemy technology and began to plan to master magic, Mr. Shadow's mood has not been very good.

However, at that time, he was more depressed, depressed that his mission could not be completed smoothly.

But as Hilco confidently started his plan, Mr. Shadow's depression gradually turned into unfounded worry.

Last night, Mr. Shadow did not go to the prostitutes in the dark alley to vent, but stayed up all night, trying to use the skills he had learned in the Order of the Balance to observe the stars and predict his future destiny.

However, the heavy haze in Zaun made the starry sky blurred. Mr. Shadow finally tried his best and his eyes were almost dazzled, but in the end he only got some vague conclusions.

In Zaun, this is normal, but this normality still makes him more uneasy.

Fortunately... everything went well today.

Hilco persuaded the stupid law enforcer, brought the newly defected Sevika, and successfully caught the children before the Piltover guys entered the mine.

Even better, there was no dangerous mage guard next to Mr. Shadow's mission target.

Mr. Shadow, who caught up with Lux and left the small area, finally felt relieved. He let out a long breath. Next, he just had to kill Lux in the dark and disguise everything as the Piltover law enforcer who entered the cave... That's it.

This behavior is undoubtedly hurting innocent people.

But... so what?

Mr. Shadow is no longer an apprentice of the Order of the Balance. Now he is a member of the Shadow Stream. For the greater good, the Shadow Stream allows this kind of harm.

Mr. Shadow, lurking in the shadows, has been quietly observing Lux, watching her leave in a panic, watching her lean against the cold wall, with a lingering fear - at the same time, a shadow blade gradually takes shape in Mr. Shadow's hand.

"It's okay." Mr. Shadow held the shadow blade in his right hand, and put the index and middle fingers of his left hand together, brushing the sharp edge of the shadow blade, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "Soon, I promise, no pain."

The next moment, Mr. Shadow extended the shadow blade and went straight to Lux's temple.

This is the fastest, most effective and most painless way to kill. When the sharp shadow blade reaches the target's temple, the shadow power will destroy the opponent's brain, and the opponent will lose consciousness in just a moment.

Letting Lux die without knowing it is Mr. Shadow's last mercy.

However...the development of things exceeded Mr. Shadow's expectations.

Just when the shadow blade quietly passed through the darkness and arrived in front of Lux, Mr. Shadow's front suddenly lit up.

The sudden strong light caught Mr. Shadow off guard, but he maintained his impact posture well. Although his body wanted to dodge subconsciously, the shadow blade in his hand still pierced straight into Lux's temple.

Then, Mr. Shadow, who had adapted to the light, was surprised to find that his shadow blade was blocked by a lightsaber, half a foot away from Lux, unable to move forward.

Lightsaber?

Realizing that something was wrong, Mr. Shadow retreated - he tried to hide in the darkness and wait for an opportunity to fight again.

But the lightsaber in Lux's hand followed the shadow and always followed Mr. Shadow.

With just one move, the situation reversed and Mr. Shadow fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Just now, with the intention of being liberated by grace, Mr. Shadow attacked Lux ​​at full speed, but now he was suddenly counterattacked and could only retreat in embarrassment.

And Lux, who had been prepared, pretended to be tired and scared, panting like a helpless prey, but in fact she was secretly accumulating strength and mobilizing magic power. As soon as Mr. Shadow retreated, she followed like an arrow from a bow, aiming directly at Mr. Shadow's vitals!

Mr. Shadow was frightened and broke into a cold sweat.

The lightsaber in Lux's hand looked daunting and upright - but when she really started to fight, her moves were surprisingly ruthless, which was completely inconsistent with her image!

The lightsaber turned into a trail of light in the darkness, easily sweeping across many vital parts of Mr. Shadow's body, forcing him to finally summon a shadow clone and exchange positions with the clone, which barely avoided the subsequent pursuit.

With just one attack and one defense, Mr. Shadow realized that something was wrong - not to mention that the shadow tattoo made his chest ache, but Lux's performance just now was enough to make him feel like he was falling into an ice cave.

This little girl named Lux... is she a monster?

It's okay to react quickly and attack fiercely.

What's worse is that this little girl used light magic - in the collision between the lightsaber and the shadow blade just now, Mr. Shadow's shadow blade melted like ice and snow in spring.

This is not only a restraint of attributes, but also means that Lux is completely ahead of him in controlling magic.

She looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. How could a little girl of this age have such amazing magic control and such crazy swordsmanship?

Even Shen and Jie were only apprentices at this age!

Realizing this, Mr. Shadow felt cold in his heart. He had realized that he would never be able to complete this mission.

Hilco had provoked a guy he couldn't afford to offend!

So, Mr. Shadow turned to the exit without hesitation, and under the cover of darkness, he rushed out directly.

Harsh words?

No such thing!

As long as he left the mine, everything would be fine.

As for Hilco...

You caused the trouble yourself, so you should deal with it yourself!

Mr. Shadow was very fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, he came to the turning point. Then, as long as he walked a hundred meters, he would be able to reach the outside of the mine smoothly!

Lux ​​would naturally not let him go easily. She followed closely with a lightsaber in hand - and then she found awkwardly that she did not seem to have an advantage in speed.

What to do?

If it were someone else, Mr. Shadow might have slipped away, but Lux, who had undergone a lot of theoretical learning and simulation training, was obviously not an ordinary person.

This was not a simulation training. Here, Lux could squander his amazing magic power unscrupulously!

The next moment, Lux held the lightsaber horizontally and held the hilt with both hands.

Astonishing magic power surged out and gathered on this sword of light, causing this sword made purely of light elements to expand to an astonishing length in an instant.

Mr. Shadow, who thought he had escaped, was stabbed from behind by a solid lightsaber that suddenly grew to nearly 40 meters long, and his legs were directly pierced through like a candied haws.

After Mr. Shadow stumbled and fell, Lux waved her hand to disperse the lightsaber, walked in front of him, untied Mr. Shadow's belt without hesitation, and tied him up tightly.

The skillful technique made Mr. Shadow unable to even think of breaking free.

In this way, before Sevika and the four children over there understood what was going on, Lux had already carried Mr. Shadow back to Wei's side.

Karya's Little Classroom·Ruyi Light Sword:

Compared to large-scale light magic, Lux is better at using light shaping to fight, which not only saves more magic power, but also the suddenly lengthened lightsaber can often achieve miraculous effects without the enemy realizing it.
