Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 21 The Devil's Regret

Hiss! Could it be that someone used these things for sacrifice not long ago? !

Su Xun and Hu Tao looked at each other and realized that the secrets in this valley might be more complicated than they had imagined.

"Hey! It's really interesting!" Walnut became excited. She loved strange things the most and hoped that this discovery would satisfy her.

Su Xun stroked his chin, his eyes lost in thought.

Besides them, there was someone else who could appear in this gloomy place. Wasn't he afraid of ghosts? And he even held a sacrificial ceremony here. What was his purpose?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Su Xun decided to observe it more carefully.

Just as he was about to leave the stone chamber and continue searching the altar, he heard a barely perceptible sound of broken ceramics.

Ok?

Su Xun paused and immediately turned to look at the earthenware jar on the stone platform in the center of the stone chamber.

Walnut, who was studying the mural on the wall, also heard the noise and instantly looked at the target sharply.

The earthenware jar was placed in the center of the stone platform and looked ordinary, but in this quiet stone chamber, the tiny sound was particularly eye-catching.

Both of them held their breath. In this quiet atmosphere, wisps of evil black air emerged from the cracks in the broken clay jar and lingered above the stone platform.

Kurumi's eyes were cold as she silently summoned the Staff of Homa and held it tightly in her right hand.

Su Xun also silently took out his exquisite spear, his eyes fixed firmly on the front.

Is it really some evil spirit? Or... is it the remnant of the devil? !

Su Xun deduced this conclusion based on the deity enshrined at this altar, and he felt a little nervous and eager to try it out. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing since he started practicing. It was really exciting!

The black gas gradually condensed and formed a blurry figure several meters tall. Although the face could not be seen clearly, the evil aura still made people feel chilling.

"Roar!"

The black shadow was full of arrogance, and his scarlet eyes were filled with evil! As soon as he appeared, he roared loudly, venting a burst of joy, anger, and resentment!

His shrill voice echoed in the closed stone chamber, causing Hu Tao and Su Xun to frown.

"Hey! What are you yelling for? It's so noisy! Shut up!" Hu Tao covered his ears and shouted angrily.

Gah!

The black shadow, who was feeling happy about regaining his freedom, wanted to vent his emotions and release the pent-up energy in his heart, but Walnut's shout interrupted his actions, which made him feel inexplicably aggrieved.

Su Xun's face was embarrassed. He really deserved to be called Master Hu! He didn't give this evil boss face. Seeing that others seemed to have just regained their freedom, couldn't he make Him happy for a while?

It was also the first time that Black Shadow met someone like Hu Tao. He was stunned, and after he realized what was going on, he became furious.

"How dare you, a tiny ant, humiliate me like this! Do you want to die?!"

Walnut, however, seemed to be unconcerned about His threat. Instead, she looked curious: "Hey, you can still talk? It seems you still have some sense."

She looked the shadow up and down, and continued to ask in a relaxed tone, "Hey! Let me ask you, who are you? Why are you here? What is your purpose? Tell me now!"

It seems that Black Shadow has been holding back for too long, having been sealed for many years without freedom. He has just been released from the seal. Even though Walnut was disrespectful to him, he did not have time to respond, but was eager to tell the world his thoughts.

“Roar! I am the great Lord of Shadows, the Shadow Demon Hadils. After years of slumber, I finally break the seal! Morax, I will make you pay with blood!”

Hades' roar echoed in the stone chamber, his voice filled with anger and resentment, as if telling of endless years of torture.

Su Xun curled his lips. It was another old enemy of Morax. It seemed that our Lord Geoshen really had many enemies. Who knows how many of his old enemies were sealed in the land of Liyue.

"Look! Morax!" Su Xun's eyes turned and he pointed behind the black shadow and shouted.

"Huh? Where is it!" Hadils was instantly panicked. He quickly took a defensive posture, left his position, and flashed to the right.

"Puchi!" Su Xun and Hu Tao both laughed.

"You still want to seek revenge on Morax?" Su Xun said sarcastically.

"Damn it! How ridiculous! It's really ridiculous! Has the world forgotten my title as the Demon God of Shadow? Even a mere mortal dares to bully me again and again!"

"I will extract your souls and torture you for eternity as a way of paying you back for your disrespect to me!" Hadils was really angry, and roared at the two men in shame and anger.

Hu Tao snorted coldly: "Ha! No matter whether you are the Lord of Shadow or the Lord of Darkness, you can't cause any trouble in your current state. If you dare to cause trouble in Wuwang Slope, you will pay the price!"

The Homa staff in her hand instantly ignited, and the flames burned brightly, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

Su Xun also tightly grasped the spear, concentrating his energy, ready to attack at any time.

Hadils slowly raised his head, and his pair of scarlet eyes, formed by evil black energy, flashed with ferocious light.

"Hahaha! You really overestimate your own abilities!"

He let out a sharp roar and pounced towards Hu Tao and Su Xun.

Kurumi instantly swung the Homa staff, and the flame formed a fire dragon that rushed straight towards the figure.

Su Xun also rushed forward, and his spear stabbed at the figure like lightning.

However, the figure suddenly disappeared into the air, leaving only a gust of cold wind blowing, which made people feel cold.

Hu Tao and Su Xun looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Jokes aside, they knew that the remnant of the demon god was not so easy to destroy.

Walnut said: "This evil spirit seems to be able to move freely between shadows. We must first find its weakness."

Su Xun nodded in agreement. He looked at the stone chamber around him and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Su Xun transmitted his voice to Hu Tao: "We have to use the environment of this stone chamber to deal with Him. Since He can shuttle between shadows, His entity should be in these shadows.

I will block the entrance to this stone chamber first, and you can take this opportunity to create a light source to illuminate this space, leaving Him nowhere to hide!"

Hu Tao looked at Su Xun and nodded silently.

So the two of them dealt with Hadils' occasional attacks from the shadows while quietly waiting for their opportunity.

During this process, Su Xun moved towards the door without leaving a trace, and Hu Tao was also covering for him.

Fortunately, the Shadow Demon Hadils had been sealed for so many years and had just awakened, and his strength was only one tenth of what it had left. Otherwise, the Demon's true power would be beyond the ability of the two of them to handle.

Even so, He currently has strength close to that of the immortals, so the two of them were exhausted from dealing with His attacks.

Hadils had experienced the Demon War period, and his combat experience was far beyond theirs. Even if only his remnant was left, he could bring great pressure to the two of them.

But Su Xun and Hu Tao were not discouraged. They were not the kind of people who were willing to give up.
