The Hero in Exile

"It looks like the road is very bumpy, but I'll just bring you here."

Shadow walked towards Moran without any nervousness. He saw the exposed arm and kicked it like a child. However, the child's strength was not strong enough to kick the hand off and it flew so far that it was impossible to see where it landed.

It is extremely easy for Shadow now, but Moran and Lingyu are in a terrible situation. With their current strength, Shadow can crush them to death like a bug without much effort. If the two of them join forces, they might be able to run away, but given Lingyu's current condition, it is almost impossible.

"Lingyu, we are old acquaintances after all. I will give you another chance to join the church. I will lift the curse. As long as you serve the Pope in the future, you can have whatever you want. How about that?"

Moran's face gradually became ugly. If Lingyu rebelled at this time, it would be entirely possible. He would be caught in a situation where he was trapped from both sides. There would be no chance for him to escape. Moran swallowed his saliva and glanced in the direction of Lingyu, preparing for the worst.

Lingyu didn't say anything, but lowered his head and chuckled a few times, "If someone else said this, I might be able to accept it, but you?" Lingyu suddenly stood up and raised his middle finger to the shadow, saying vulgar words that were completely inconsistent with this body, "Fuck you, you killed me once and you want to kill me a second time? Do you take me for a fool? I would rather believe this than you, and you also want to say hello to the Pope on my behalf, I'm a jerk..."

Shadow's expression darkened visibly, and a few black lines fell from his head. Seeing this, Moran clenched the magic sword in his hand, secretly glad that Lingyu was not so heartless as to run away. But could this guy please stop talking? He's obviously pissed me off.

"Since you've said so, there's nothing we can do. Please go and die, brave hero and demon king."

"What?!" Moran was surprised by the shadow's speed. Although it was a sneak attack, he didn't see his movements clearly.

In an instant, the shadow disappeared from his sight, and suddenly appeared in Moran's face, pulling out a dagger from his sleeve and swung it at Moran. Moran did not react until the shadow's blade was already in the air, and he raised the magic sword to barely block the dagger.

Moran gritted his teeth and felt the strain. He thought it was just the speed but he didn't expect the power to be so great. He used most of his strength to push the shadow aside with the magic sword.

A hint of doubt flashed across Shadow's face, but there was still no sign of fear. Instead, the corners of his mouth kept rising, and his eyes were narrowed like slits. This chilling feeling made one feel cold on the back. It couldn't be said that he looked like a pervert, but he was clearly a pervert.

Shadow swung the dagger, his thumb against the blade and blood oozing out, it was creepy to look at: "I didn't expect it, it's quite good to have weakened strength. It looks like it can help me kill some time."

"The field unfolds."

Pata-

Shadow snapped his fingers after he finished speaking, and the darkness in the room extended as if it had life. Seeing this, Moran wanted to run but the darkness spread too quickly. Before Moran could rush out, the darkness sealed the gap and trapped him inside.

"What is this?" Moran couldn't help but wonder. Logically speaking, if this was sealed, he could still touch it, but this thing had no entity at all. Instead, it looked more like endless darkness.

"Moran, this is this guy's territory. Although the area outside is not large, you can never get out once you are locked in. Moreover, the separate space inside is infinitely large and he can reach anywhere he wants in his territory. If you want to get out, you can only let him close it." Lingyu was very nervous. She didn't expect to encounter such a big crisis in such a short while.

Moran was not having a good time either. After all, he was the only one who could fight now. He turned around and looked at Lingyu and said simply.

"You must use all your strength later."

"What do you mean?" Before Moran could answer, the shadow teleported over and kicked Moran away.

"I still have the time to leave my last words, but I don't want to waste time."

Moran managed to steady himself by stabbing the ground with his magic sword. A life-and-death battle was inevitable.
