Chapter 92

Shion and Enrite sensed a crisis and hurriedly left their seats.

Considering that the time the call arrived and the time the Shadow Dragon approached overlapped, they had to move as quickly as possible.

“Sister, where are you? sister!”

“… huh? Why are you calling me?”

Hanette, who was in the barracks, belatedly turned her head.

Shion gestures to Hanette and shouts loudly.

“Sister, come quickly!”

“Why… Why?”

“Come quickly!”

“… … ?”

Hanette was puzzled but ran to Shion.

Shion summons Acid Rain and spreads a black current.

Then, the black air current wrapped around the body and changed into the form of armor.

“Why all of a sudden… … .”

“Sister, listen to me carefully. The Shadow Dragon will come here.”

“Are you talking about the four major disasters?”

“I’m coming now, so I need to get ready. Don’t fall away from me.”

Shion grabs Hanette’s hand and approaches the Silize Knights.

Harnette is taken away in surprise, but quickly comes to her senses and matches her walking speed with Shion.

“Why are the four great plagues coming here?”

“I got a call from the silver phantom thief. The shadow dragon is approaching.”

“… Are you coming to us?”

“I will be back soon. If you think it’s dangerous, run to Cardinal Selena.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I will stay by your side as long as I can. Even if I go, don’t follow me Just use magic from afar. I just need you to do that.”

Shion responded resolutely and grabbed the hilt with all his might.

As long as you have the magic sword of light, you will never be defeated by the Shadow Dragon.

If you follow the original content, you can drive out the Shadow Dragon with just the main character and Enrite.

In addition, because he and Hanette were there, he would be able to fight more advantageously.

‘Can’t it end here?’

After a shadow dragon runs away, it hides in the world of shadows.

After being beaten by the main character and Enrite, he gives up his greed for the demonic sword, but the demonic sword of wind is not handed over until the end is reached.

What would happen if we annihilated the Shadow Dragon right here and retrieved the demonic sword of the wind?

‘It’s better than nothing.’

In the original content, the demonic sword of the wind and the demonic sword of the earth could not communicate with their masters.

Since the Shadow Dragon and the Narak King respectively possessed the demonic swords, no one could touch them.

If I just took the two demon swords away from the demons, wouldn’t it be too late to face a qualified person?

‘No, it might be better to leave it as it is.’

Even if he had the qualifications, he could not prove his personality and attitude.

In particular, the wind demon sword and the earth demon sword had never been held by their masters, so they could not foresee their future.

In other words, even if it was difficult to bring the magic sword, only enemies could increase.

‘It’s a shadow dragon, it’s better to kill it now… … .’

Shion felt his feet sinking and instinctively released his magical power.

Even in the midst of this, Hannett’s hand did not let go, and his sharp senses tried to find an unfamiliar sign.

But I couldn’t feel anything, and the body was buried deeper and deeper.

“Zion! this… … .”

“calm down. It won’t hurt. Hold my hand well.”

A black puddle dug around herself and Harnett.

It was the shadow magic used by the shadow dragon and the passage to the world of shadows.

I knew that shadow magic had excellent mobility and binding power, but did I know that I would get caught up in it without even feeling the presence?

‘Once caught, there is no escaping.’

Shion poured her magic into the acid rain and hit the black puddle.

The sucking speed slows down for a moment, and then returns to normal.

Harnette also tried to break the black puddle by sending out flames, but even the slightest change was not visible.

“I will save you now… … .”

“Do not come! You too will be taken away!”

Shion roars and blocks the knights from approaching.

Coincidentally, on the other side, Seran and Enrite were drowning in a black puddle.

It must have been that the Shadow Dragon was targeting only the magic sword users and sending them to the world of shadows.

‘If this is the case, the Shadow Dragon is also at a loss… … .’

Even if she, Hanette, and Saeran resisted to a certain extent, they could be brought back with shadow magic.

However, since Enrite is a demonic sword of light, shadow magic is hardly effective.

Nevertheless, dragging Enrite meant consuming a lot of mana and taking risks.

‘Magic absorption is going well… The magic does not disappear.’

Of course, the efficiency of absorbing mana was low because he hardly used mana.

However, once the mana was absorbed, the magic had to be dispelled.

Maybe shadow magic has a special structure unlike other magic.

‘Is it rather good? If no one is watching, even the white apostle can go into battle.’

Shion pulled Hanette’s hand and hugged her.

Harnette was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized the reason and embraced Shion’s body with both arms.

Eventually, the two are buried in a black puddle and disappear completely.

‘If I do well, I might be able to kill the Shadow Dragon.’

Caronbelaz Continent, World of Shadows.

The shadow dragon, Grosiran, used shadow magic as soon as he arrived at his destination.

Shadow magic is somewhat less powerful, but the speed of activation is fast and the binding power is quite excellent.

Above all, it was impossible to cope with the passage to the world of shadows because once they were caught, they could not escape.

– … One is annoying.

Grosiran felt a strong sense of repulsion, but generously consumed his mana.

There was one human who was not compatible with shadow magic.

He would probably be the toughest opponent out of the four, but even that would become meaningless in the world of shadows.

– The other is similar to me.

A vague sense of identity seemed to burrow into his body.

He had darkness like himself, but I wondered if the root was a little different.

– One is fine, but… the other one is blurry

It was certain that each had a demonic sword with a different attribute.

Although he was resisting little by little, he could never escape unless he let go.

– Everything is mine.

Grosiran spreads her wings with all her might and immerses herself in ecstasy.

The demonic sword they possessed would soon pass over to them.

A total of five were gathered, and wouldn’t it be fine to bring the rest of the swords slowly while looking at the situation?

– It’s only human, but it can make a fuss.

Individual humans are weak, but when they come together, even witch beasts cannot dare to oppose them.

That’s why the 3 Great Demon Kings and 4 Great Calamities did not want to fight against humans recklessly.

In addition, some humans could have been attacked because they had an overbearing force.

– But to me it will yield.

Grosiran felt the four magic swords and his eyes flashed.

Four humans arrived in the world of shadows and quickly recognized their presence.

– I’ll give you a chance. If you hand over the demonic sword, I will save all of you.

Grosiran was the first and last to show mercy.

You can win if you fight them, but it takes a lot of time and effort.

From his point of view, he only needed to bring the magic sword, so there was no reason to kill them.

They could have been sent back to the original world if they cooperated appropriately.

“… Go back if you don’t want to die. If you’re going to meet your end here, I’ll deal with you.”

Shion radiated magic and stood at the forefront.

Enrite calmly accepted the situation, but Hanette and Saeran were still confused.

In addition, since he faced the Shadow Dragon, one of the four major disasters, it seemed as if a vague sense of crisis throbbed his whole body.

– Grr… What kind of human beings discuss my end!

Grosiran opened his mouth wide and howled vigorously.

The world of shadows shuddered slowly, and objects covered in jet black were distorted finely.

However, Shion does not back down at all and scatters purple eyes.

“You made a big mistake. You lost since you brought us here.”

– Khehehe… Do you know what this world is like? It is a world where no human can exist!

“Why do you think you wouldn’t know? This world is made of shadows. It seems that we have crossed into this world, but in reality our shadows have been assimilated.”

– You guys… … .

Grosiran stunned and opened his eyes wide.

Shadow magic could not be implemented by anyone other than himself.

But how does that human know about shadow magic?

“Shadows can only be created when there is light. No shadows are made at night. That’s why you took us by surprise during the day and brought us into this world.”

– Does a mere human know about shadow magic?

“I know you are at a disadvantage. He must have used a lot of magic to attract us. Can you deal with us in that situation?”

Zion could not be unaware of the 3 great demon kings and 4 great disasters.

In the original content, the main characters always faced each other, or it was described as a setting.

Of course, if this information were incorrect, it would mean nothing, but with the exception of the information about Harnette, almost everything would be correct.

– Nehuhu… Is it comparable to humans? Do you think I will become powerless to that extent!

Grossiran pours out mana and spreads it in all directions.

At the same time, the ground shakes and black waves rush towards the four people.

Shion quickly retreated and approached Enrite.

“Can you stop it?”

“… It is not difficult.”

Enrite answered calmly and emitted golden magic.

A golden air flowed out slowly and began to envelop the three of them.

Eventually, the clusters of lights come together and gradually dye the surroundings in the same color.

– I gave you a chance… Foolish.

Grosiran was sure of victory as he watched the four men get buried in the black waves.

I couldn’t kill them right away, but it would take some more time.

If the existing existence was eroded little by little and even the shadows were eliminated, only the demonic sword would remain.

– … Well?

The black wave seemed to calm down, but then it flinched and rose little by little.

Golden light was leaking from inside.

Eventually, the golden light reaps the black waves and completely annihilates them.

– What… It can’t be like this!

Grosiran is embarrassed and shows a stiff expression.

No one was eroded by shadow magic.

Even that was not enough, so the golden light continued to radiate out and try to reach him.

‘… Full body armed.’

Enrite transforms her body and slowly disappears.

At some point, only a single sword, wrapped in golden light, remained.

A blade imbued with pure white, a brilliantly shining golden hilt, sacred yet lofty magic.

Hanette and Saeran were shocked to see it, but Shion only watched aloof.

When Enrite’s body was transformed into El Tesoicb, white fragments began to gather.

The white shards quickly formed a shape and reached out toward El Tesoicb.

Eventually, the pure white armor was completed and he grabbed the hilt of El Tesoicb.

“The magic sword is not something you can use. I will get it back.”
