What! Our family is actually the descendant of the evil god?.

Eros was silent. Although Barbara did not say it directly, Eros already understood what she wanted to express.

Even if he used divine power to save Irina now, the final result would be that she and he, who was unconscious, would still be unable to escape the church's pursuit.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Irina, who was becoming increasingly transparent. It was obvious that he didn't have much time left to make a decision.

Should he choose to watch Irina die, or save her and die together.

Irina seemed to notice Eros's change of mood, and she pulled the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile:

"Don't be sad, you should be happy. After all, I found the fragments of the ancestral kingdom."

"I have recorded its location in the necklace I gave you. All you need to do is bring it back. Then everything will be worth it. Eros, you can do it, right?"

Eros did not answer, but silently looked at Irina who disappeared before him, leaving only a shadow.

He wanted to use his magic to save Irina at all costs, but his reason told him that he couldn't do that.

If he was discovered by the church because of fainting, it would very likely bring a catastrophe to the already shaky family.

An irrepressible sadness rose in Eros' heart, as he was about to witness the death of a loved one.

He clearly could save her but he couldn't, and could only watch her gradually disappear in front of him.

"Maybe there is another way!" Barbara, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"What can we do?" Eros suddenly raised his head.

"She chose to sacrifice everything to the shadow, and as a divine tool that carries the power of the shadow, I can temporarily distort this ritual and let you replace the concept represented by the shadow, turning this ritual into a sacrifice to you, but..." Barbara seemed a little hesitant when she said the latter part.

Because only mythical beings and gods can accept sacrifices, and only gods can carry the entire concept of shadow.

Barbara did not say this out loud. She glanced at Eros, and an inexplicable fluctuation flashed in her eyes.

Eros did not notice Barbara's slight change. When he heard that there were other methods, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.

Seeing that time was running out, he dared not dawdle any longer and quickly asked, "Just what?"

Barbara gathered her thoughts, lowered her eyes and said calmly:

"It's just that you don't have a kingdom of God now. Even if you accept the sacrifice, you can't store it. In this case, it will still dissipate."

"But fortunately, she has now become a shadow. This allows her to merge into your reflection, allowing her to become your shadow and survive."

"But after becoming your shadow, she will never be able to leave your place again. Unless you... ahem... ascend to the throne of God again in the future, you can separate her."

After hearing what Barbara said, Eros was silent for a moment, and then he quickly made a decision. He couldn't care less about so many things now. The most important thing was to survive.

Eros then spoke directly to Irina:

"I have a way to save you, but this method will make you my shadow, and you will never be able to leave where I am."

Eros paused for a moment, then looked at Irina seriously and spoke slowly, word by word:

"So, Irina Lenka Night, are you willing to be my shadow?"

Irina was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that she could still be rescued?

She looked at Eros, whose expression was serious and not fake, and raised the corners of her lips slightly to reveal a brilliant smile, and answered word by word:

"I am willing!"

Regardless of whether the last method would succeed or not, at least she was quite happy as she looked at Eros in front of her who was unwilling to give up on her until the last moment.

As Irina said, "I am willing to say it," it seemed as if some kind of contract had been reached.

The next moment, Eros' left eye turned dark, and Barbara successfully took over his body.

Pitch-black lines continuously emerged from Eros' body, forming obscure array patterns that covered the surrounding space.

Irina, who was still emitting light particles, suddenly turned into a black light and slowly penetrated into the shadow of Eros.

After a while, when the black light that Irina transformed into was completely absorbed, the darkness in Eros' left eye slowly faded away.

At the same time, Barbara's somewhat weak voice rang in his mind:

"This consumption is too great. I will sleep for a while."

After saying that, Barbara became silent and showed no response no matter how Eros called her.

He felt a little helpless. He had wanted to ask some questions, but now it seemed he could only wait until next time, or figure it out on his own?

Just at this moment, two teams from the church suddenly broke into his perception range.

Eros let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that the church has searched here. In that case, then die!"

Ever since he had just killed that group of people with his own hands, Eros no longer had much aversion to killing.

After all, this world is so cruel. If you don't kill them, they will come to kill you. There is no room for relaxation.

If I hadn't arrived in time, and Barbara hadn't been so helpful, Irina would have died long ago.

Thinking of this, he had no mercy on the two church teams that had entered his perception range.

He sneaked over quietly, then raised his hand and used the Moon of Eternal Sleep to scatter the ashes of the two groups of people before they could react.

Then Eros prepared to return to the academy. Since the people had been rescued, there was no need to continue to accompany the church's search teams.

But since Barbara was in a deep sleep at the moment, she could no longer help him detect the nearby vision.

As a result, he encountered several church search teams along the way and was forced to fight.

Although his own perception range is quite large compared to people at the same level, it now seems to be obviously not enough.

Fortunately, perhaps because Irina’s strength is not very strong, the search teams sent by the church are mostly only Sequence Eight, and only the team leaders have reached Sequence Seven.

In addition, I now have two powerful buffs and several artifacts, otherwise I might not be able to escape from this encirclement.

When he returned to the academy, the sky was already turning slightly pale. He was exhausted after running outside all night.

He glanced at Wendini who was lying on the bed in the room and hadn't woken up yet, but didn't bother her.

He walked to another room without even bothering to wash up and fell asleep.
