How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 166

As if the aura of Xian’s night spread its wings, it filled this space.

The sun, which had been bright just a moment ago, was covered and the night slowly fell.

As a result, all the wounds caused by blocking the arrows of the World Tree healed, and at the same time, the whole body began to gain strength again.

A night aura that becomes stronger at night.

But in fact, Xian didn’t forcefully spread the aura to create the night.

Originally, the time right now is early morning when everyone is sleeping.

However, what had been cut off for a while as it entered Elia’s space, ‘The Temple of the Forest’, started to come back due to the aura that Xian spread.

In other words, it meant that the boundary between reality and the ‘temple in the forest’ was shaking little by little.

“… … .”

Elia’s expression distorted at that fact.

A space created by you, for yourself, only for yourself. This space he created by violating taboos and stealing the essence from the World Tree.

How can you be shaken by a little boy like that?

‘… … It won’t collapse.’

Even if it shakes, it is not dangerous.

Just like a house made of wood creaking slightly in the wind, it was only that much.

However, that ‘only’ came to her as extremely unpleasant.

“Stop dying.”

Before he blurs this space any more. So that you don’t do any more bizarre tricks than this.

She let go of the bowstring.

An arrow with strong tension was shot through the air.

The target was Xian, the same as before, but the situation was somewhat different.

When the first arrow was shot, Xian’s surroundings were full of various disasters in the forest.

Now, it was the epicenter where the energy of the clear night crouched.

-Tooung!

Soon, arrows were fired.

The arrow of the world tree shot towards the crouching energy of the night.

In the energy of the black night, Xian saw the rushing arrow.

Now there is no sword of the sword ring that was copied. I could copy it again, but it took some time.

In the midst of this urgency, there was no way I could afford that moment.

In the end, it means that you have to completely block it with the one sword you are holding.

‘do.’

Xian calmly maintained the flow of his breath and turned his energy around.

The sword he was holding was a black sword, not an ice crystal.

A sword of his own, entirely tailored to Xian’s hand.

‘The yam sword.’

Around the handle of the sword, the wide aura of night began to move.

It rotates slowly and rapidly and gathers around the sword.

Firmly gripping the sword, which swayed naturally from the vast energy, Xian raised the sword.

Kwakwagwagwagwang!

The arrows of the World Tree that were shot were rushing in, scattering huge shockwaves around them.

Before long, it collides with the spinning energy of the night.

Then, tearing away all his energy, he approached Xian.

‘Do not panic.’

Even though the arrow was powerful enough to forcibly twist the flow.

Xian was calm. I was forced to consciously stay calm.

Catching the scattered flow again, turning back the energy that tries to change into chaos.

The yamma sword that the ghost taught me is a sword that stands alone.

It wasn’t something to be shaken by the aftermath.

[ Heavenly Sword (霜天劍) – Heavenly Thunder (天雷)]

Before long, the sword’s thunder fell and collided with the arrow.

Kwakwagwagwagwang!

The arrow of the world tree dug in to break Xian’s sword, that steel-like sword.

Xian’s sword blocked it.

The sword and arrow did not collide directly, but energy collided with energy, but it was sufficiently heated.

The arrow of the world tree to pierce and the sword of Xian to block.

‘joy.’

Elia looked at Xian with a useless expression.

At most, there was no way he could block the arrows of the World Tree with just one blade.

It is an arrow that has been trained and trained again and again to pierce the dragon king’s neck.

Just stopping it once was already miraculous enough.

however.

-Suddenly!

Her body shuddered loudly with a groaning sound.

And the sight that unfolded was absolutely unbelievable.

Koo Goo Goo!

The arrow of the World Tree split.

At the same time, the magical energy that had lost its way started to run rampant, and soon it became an incomparably huge explosion and attacked Elia.

“aaagh!”

I hurriedly spread my defenses, but the aftermath of the world tree’s arrows was not enough to block it.

She was swept away by the aftermath of the explosion, and at the same time, the place where Xian was was also swept away.

After a while.

In a devastated land where there are no more forests, trees, or anything else.

The two staggered to their feet.

It was Xian, whose wounds he had struggled to recover from had burst again, and Elia, whose hair was completely tousled and stained with blood and dust.

“Finally, you’re on the ground.”

Seeing Elia stepping on the ground, Xian spoke softly.

He was also in an incomplete state, with his whole body creaking, but he still had enough fighting spirit.

Taking a breath, he raised the sword again, and seeing it, Elia gnashed her teeth.

But then.

“!”

Elia trembled greatly.

Something caught her sense of being connected to the temple.

It was a sign that something was wrong with the guardian of the temple, Serge.

“no!”

She screamed and immediately turned to the temple.

Right now, for her, that temple is more important than anything else.

I never thought that Serge would fall for such an insignificant demon!

“Where are you going?”

However, it was not a plan to miss that gap.

As Elia hurriedly went to the temple, Xian took a step closer and struck the sword.

Awesome!

One of Elia’s arms fell with a ghastly sound.

Blood spurted out and Elia’s face was stained with pain.

but.

‘This much is fine.’

One arm is fine.

Wasn’t this Garcia’s body about to be thrown away soon?

In return for giving up an arm, Elia was able to buy a chance to escape.

A haze rose, and she disappeared into space.

All that was left was one arm that had fallen to the floor.

Seeing that, Xian kicked off the ground and ran.

‘There is only one place for the Queen to go.’

bang!

His body was shot towards the temple and flew away.

* * *

“Kheuheouk!”

Serge grabbed the back of his neck and struggled greatly.

Blood was gushing out along with flesh from the back of the giant’s neck.

Serge’s expression, which had always been calm and calm, was stained with pain for the first time.

“Do you know how to make a face like that?”

Psyche said with a sneer. Then, Serge’s face became even more distorted.

-This little guy… … !

The ground shook and the air vibrated with his anger.

But Psyche remained calm.

Eventually, the space she was in quickly compressed, but at that moment she spurred the ground and jumped at Serge.

At the same time, cold air spread like wings and cut Serge’s left wrist.

“Aagh!”

It was not a fatal blow.

Maybe his hands were thick, or Psyche’s strike was a bit shallow, his wrists were only split half way.

But that was just the beginning.

Evaded by pain, Psyche evaded Serge’s hand, who scattered shockwaves at random, and opened up wounds on his body step by step.

It is as if a craftsman made a statue by carefully carving a stone.

She was literally shaving off Serge’s body.

In the meantime.

– Kwak!

The outer walls burst open and arrows rushed in.

It wasn’t the arrow of the world tree that was shot at Xian, but it was an arrow with sufficient magic power.

Psyche was greatly taken aback as she had not expected a surprise attack from the outside.

I was able to turn around and avoid it, but in the aftermath, my side was torn in a long way.

“Kuk!”

Gritting my teeth and swallowing the pain, I looked in that direction.

There stood Queen Elia with a hard expression holding a bow.

“How are you?”

For a moment, Psyche was taken aback.

Does the fact that Ellia is here mean that Xian was hurt?

die?

The man who didn’t seem like he would die even if he killed him?

A lot of incomprehensible questions ran through her head.

Fortunately, however, the question was quickly resolved.

“Suck!”

Cyan, who immediately followed, attacked Elia from behind.

Elia managed to avoid Xian’s sword and entered the temple, and Xian followed suit.

‘giant… … ?’

Joining Psyche, Xian inspected the situation.

A giant who bleeds everywhere and Psyche, who breathes rough but has few scars.

“You’re safe.”

“you also.”

Psyche looked at Xian and let out a sigh of relief.

This resulted in a 2:2 composition. However, the injury was much worse that way.

Serge was bleeding from his neck and Elia had lost an arm.

In an unfavorable situation, Elia bit her lip.

“It can’t be helped.”

The worry was short and the decision was quick.

Elia exploded all the remaining vitality in Garcia’s body.

-Queen?

On the contrary, Serge was even more flustered.

He is increasing his magical power while cutting down his own life.

A method that can generate strong power for an instant, but can never go back to normal.

“Serge. please here. It will take a while.”

Soon, a thick tree root rose from the ground and wrapped itself around Serge’s body.

It’s not to redeem him. To seal and heal wounds.

Elia raised her remaining power to the floor and healed all of Serge’s wounds, and even passed on all of her mana.

-indeed. i get it.

Sensing the overflowing power, Serge nodded.

I could see what he was thinking even without long words.

You must be thinking of practicing the great law of transference right now.

‘Actually, it needs more stabilization.’

I can’t be lazy anymore than this.

‘I can’t die.’

Elia’s eyes flashed.

She herself didn’t know it, but her eyes were very cloudy compared to the past.

At first, she acted out of a sense of duty to kill the demon dragon king, to get rid of the dragon that would surely harm her in the future.

At some point, it became an excuse to cover up our obsession with life.

-Leave this to me and go. And I would like to come back as soon as possible to help.

Saying that I won’t last long, Serge took a seat at the entrance to the temple.

Elia went inside, leaving Serge behind.

“Where are you going!”

Psyche shouted and tried to run after the queen.

Quaang!

However, without even approaching the entrance, it bounced off and flew away.

Serge looked down at Psyche again with a calm expression.

-It won’t be as easy as before, kid.

Psyche gritted her teeth.

The queen is trying to do something to Yu-seol.

I had to chase and block it right away, but that giant who blocked my way couldn’t be so hateful.

“Psyche.”

At that time, Xian took a step closer to Serge.

In his hand was a sword already filled with the aura of the night.

“Get ready to run. I will finish it once and for all.”

At his words, Psyche opened her eyes wide and nodded.

-… … .

Serge raised his alertness with a slightly tense expression.
