The closer Lux got to that place, the more clearly she could feel a darkness hidden within the shadows.
In that instant, her breathing suddenly stopped, as if soone had seized her by the throat. A wave of drowsiness swept through her entire body. Her eyelids kept fighting to close, growing harder and harder to keep open, as if she were being forcibly dragged into a waking sleep.
The forest around her suddenly beca silent. There was no breeze stirring the leaves, no grass swaying and brushing together, and the cries of birds and beasts had all vanished at once. Lux heard a soft rustling sound, constantly ringing out like a hypnotic whisper.
Beside her ear, a voice was whispering.
Sleep.
That unnatural drowsiness was like a soft blanket gradually wrapping around her, warm and thick.
Lux's head drooped. Her eyes gradually closed.
Just for a little while.
So sleepy. Incredibly sleepy.
Sleeping for just a little while would be fine.
Sleep. Sleep.
The whispering voice drew closer and closer.
That strangely scented voice seed about to lure Lux into an intoxicated dream, as if countless wonderful things were waiting for her there.
Starfire stopped walking, lowered its head sleepily, and fell into a deep slumber.
Lux leaned against it, her eyelids heavy and fighting to close.
In front of her, a mass of shadow quietly appeared and gradually approached.
Twenty steps, ten steps, five steps. Its mouth kept releasing demonic whispers.
"Sleep. Sleep."
"Sleep, my ass!"
Just then, Lux, who had seed impossibly sleepy, suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were bright and alert, without the slightest trace of drowsiness.
She swiftly took out a retractable staff. It had been specially made so she could cast magic more easily, with Luke as the friendly sponsor.
This staff did not stand out and could be carried on her person, but once extended, it was one ter long.
In that instant, the light hidden beneath the skin of Lux's fingertips had already flowed into the staff. With magic pouring into it, the front end of the staff lit up with a dazzling magical beam, incredibly bright within the darkness, as if it could purify all the filth in the world. In the next second, it turned into an arrow of light and shot out.
But the shadow's reaction was very fast as well. The mont the arrow of light was fired, it abruptly erupted into motion and dodged away.
The arrow of light grazed past the end of the shadow's body. It was impossible to tell whether it had caused any effective damage, but in just that brief instant, the shadow had already fled far away.
Seeing this, Lux imdiately jumped down from Starfire and prepared to chase after it.
But after running only a couple of steps, she rembered Starfire and had no choice but to return and wake it first.
The mont that demonic temptation had arrived, Lux had already protected herself with the light inside her body. By now, her use of the light magic within her had beco extrely practiced.
Naturally, she could easily detect the darkness around her.
But she had not had ti to take care of Starfire.
At that mont, Starfire was sleeping very deeply. Only when Lux stroked a trace of light from her fingertip across its forehead did it slowly wake.
"Find a safe place and hide. I'm going to do sothing big."
Lux gently patted Starfire's face as she spoke.
Starfire seed almost human in its understanding. Worry appeared in its eyes, and it was unwilling to leave.
"I promise I'll co find you soon. Don't make worry."
Only after Lux said that did it finally agree to leave.
The sound of hooves faded into the distance. Seeing it turn away, Lux also quickly chased in the direction the demon had fled.
At the sa ti, in Fossbarrow.
It had already been so ti since Luke and the others went out to look for the missing children.
Garen, his squad mbers, and a portion of the guards had stayed at the shelter camp to watch over the place.
"The sky doesn't look good."
Diadoro looked up at the dark clouds gathering overhead and said with a sigh, "It's pitch-black. I keep feeling like sothing's about to happen. In the past, whenever I ran into weather like this, sothing bad always happened."
"Shut your jinxing mouth." Varya glanced at him, placing her hand on the hilt of her sword, ready to draw it at any ti. "But it does look like it's about to rain. I wonder how His Highness and the others are doing."
"Don't you think the darkness is a little strange? I rember it didn't get dark this quickly."
Diadoro still wanted to say sothing else, but Garen raised a hand and interrupted him.
"Less talking. Pay more attention to the surroundings."
Garen's calm voice showed no emotion.
Diadoro nodded, walked to the side, and began observing seriously.
Garen looked around, his brows slightly furrowed and so worry in his eyes.
His combat instincts were usually very sharp. At this mont, he really had sensed an ominous premonition.
And the current sky also seed to suggest that sothing was about to happen.
He did not know whether His Highness, Lux, and the others outside town were safe.
Even though he was worried, he knew that at a ti like this, he had to fulfill his own duty even more, protecting the safety of the townspeople.
Suddenly, the sky abruptly darkened.
That was right. At night, the sky suddenly darkened.
Or rather, it beca even darker. It was as if a wave of darkness had arrived, stirring up unease. A strange aura drifted through the air, and the world sank into pitch-blackness.
The shelter camp instantly burst into panicked voices. Under this kind of darkness, every person was uneasy, deeply restless.
Then a scream rang out.
"What happened?"
"I don't know!"
"Hurry, go check the shelter camp!"
"I knew sothing was going to happen!"
Garen and his squad mbers imdiately entered the shelter camp.
At this mont, the crowd had already left a space empty. An old woman was kneeling on the ground. The scream had probably co from her mouth.
Her head was tilted back, her eyes rolled white, and her mouth was wide open.
Suddenly, a dark aura surged out of her mouth. The old woman collapsed, her life or death unknown.
But that darkness continued to gather. In the end, it beca a hideous ghostly figure, baring claws and fangs, fire burning in its eyes as it scread viciously at the people around it.
The crowd was frightened into taking another step back. Several people fell to the ground, and fear and terror spread through the crowd like an infectious plague.
With a sharp clang, Garen suddenly drew the greatsword from his back, stepped forward, and slashed toward the shadow.
The greatsword instantly crushed the shadow, turning it into a thick smoke that scattered, then vanished like embers in the wind.
Everyone saw its eyes before it died, vicious, so hateful, so evil. It had rely longed to show its existence.
Garen imdiately crouched down and reached out to check the old woman's condition. Only then did he let out a breath of relief. "She only passed out."
"Captain, you'd better look up."
Diadoro's strange voice rang out, followed by the sounds of the squad mbers drawing their weapons one after another.
Garen instinctively raised his head and saw multiple shadows, as well as several townspeople like the old woman, all collapsed and sleeping.
He rembered what Luke had told him.
The demon fed on nightmares, and it could also draw out people's nightmares. Those were the things they feared most in their hearts.
Right now, fear was beginning to spread. The demon's power had begun invading every person's heart without restraint, awakening the things they feared most deep inside.
The more people fell asleep, the stronger the demon's power would beco.
Garen did indeed feel a strange sleepiness spreading through the shelter camp. Even he was affected, feeling inexplicably drowsy.
Without the slightest hesitation, he loudly ordered, "Ring the gongs! Set off the fireworks!"
"Yes!"
One squad mber and several guards reacted quickly, taking out the iron gongs that had been prepared in advance and striking them hard with hamrs.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The deafening resonance of the gongs instantly echoed throughout the shelter camp and beside every person's ears.
In the next second, loud bursts of fireworks sounded as well. The atmosphere was almost like a festival, constantly washing away the fear in people's hearts.
It also made people's minds suddenly clear.
Such sharp, such loud noises made every person feel as if they had been startled awake. They were astonished by why they had wanted to sleep so badly just now.
Seeing this, Garen knew it really was effective. In his heart, he thought it was fortunate His Highness had prepared these things in advance.
Otherwise, a major problem would have followed.
He ordered loudly, "Everyone gather together and watch over one another. Do not fall asleep! Do not worry. We will protect everyone!"
Hearing Garen's voice, the townspeople imdiately gathered toward one place.
However, even though Garen and the others had already reacted quickly enough, the demon's power had still undergone one round of rapid expansion during that short ti.
One shadow after another appeared. Each one's form was different, like a demonic army wearing Noxian armor. Among them were giant spiders, many-headed pythons, demonic warriors wielding ice axes, enormous drakes with black fangs and sharp teeth, and all sorts of things beyond ordinary human understanding.
Their bodies were wreathed in dark aura.
All of them ca from what each person feared most deep inside, awakened by the demon and brought into the world.
They were like tools used to spread a plague, awakening more and more of their companions.
Even though Garen had stabilized the situation, the circumstances were still unfavorable for them.
After all, there were too many people to protect.
Diadoro asked, "Captain, what's the plan?"
"Fight with everything you have!" Garen stared at the demonic army approaching step by step, then without the slightest retreat or hesitation, he lifted his greatsword and charged toward the monsters.
Behind him, several squad mbers followed just as decisively.
Garen shouted, "Hold out until His Highness and the others return!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Amid their unified reply, a difficult battle began.
And beneath this night that seed shrouded in darkness, the fighting was not only happening here.
The teams outside town responsible for searching for the four missing children also encountered the sa situation.
Except in this mountain forest, it seed dark creatures had already been lying in ambush.
Vayne and her team were the fastest to encounter these dark creatures.
When a half-human, half-horse shadow creature appeared, along with a hideous shadow troll and several ghostlike shadows moving back and forth, Vayne knew that the others scattered elsewhere had probably encountered the sa situation.
She did not panic. First, she took out one skyrocket firework from her waist, quickly lit it, and aid it at the sky.
With a sharp whoosh, the firework shot upward and exploded in midair with a bang.
In the next second, bang, bang, bang, similar sounds rang out from everywhere, as if responding.
It ant all of them had run into trouble.
"As expected."
Vayne's eyes were cold. Her relic crossbow was already ready to fire. She knew tonight's long-awaited hunt was about to begin.
In the next second, a holy light bolt shot out fiercely, piercing straight through the skull of one shadow on the spot. Under the effect of the holy light, that shadow was directly purified and scattered.
Holding the relic crossbow, Vayne continued forward like an emotionless killer.
After advancing for a stretch, she saw a small figure ahead, swinging a hamr with all her strength and battling the shadows around her.
Not far away beside her, Yurna was fighting as well. Under the darkness of night, her figure looked exceptionally cold, her purple hair drifting, carrying an indescribable charm.
Just like when Vayne had once fought alongside her.
Vayne imdiately raised her crossbow and joined the battle.
On another side, Sona, who had advanced into the depths of the mountain forest alone, also encountered an attack.
The horse beneath her had sensed danger earlier and fled.
Animal instincts were very sharp, which ant there was definitely danger ahead.
But Sona still walked forward without hesitation.
Several shadows quietly appeared around her. They looked at the blue-haired girl standing alone and seemingly helpless, their faces incomparably hideous. The air around her also beca deathly silent and strange.
Sona did not like fighting. She hoped more to use her music to help more people.
However, this sort of thing always seed unavoidable.
She released her hands. The etwahl she had been holding did not fall to the ground. Instead, it seed to be lifted by so wondrous force, floating in midair before her.
Sona's gentle, water-bright eyes turned cold at this mont.
"Roar!"
At that mont, the shadows could no longer wait and moved, roaring as they pounced.
Buzz.
Sona's delicate hand suddenly played across the strings of the etwahl. The etwahl released a faint glow, and a burst of explosive music rang out.
The sound of the strings turned into golden light, bright and dazzling, like golden sprites full of motion as they circled around.
Sona's body brimd with magical aura. The golden light scattered outward, precisely piercing through every shadow.
The mont the shadows touched the golden light, they instantly vanished like smoke, without even letting out a wail.
The battle had ended just as it began.
Sona's gaze looked toward one corner. She could feel that a pair of eyes had been hiding in the dark and watching, so she played another note.
Golden light gathered together and shot toward that place.
Sure enough, a shadow appeared and fled.
Sona had a faint intuition that this shadow was the real demon, so she imdiately chased after it.
On another side, Katarina calmly and coldly looked at the shadows around her. So looked human, so looked like monsters. In any case, all of them were quite ugly.
In her hand, a dagger glead with cold light.
Suddenly, the shadows moved together. Katarina also did not hesitate, flinging the dagger out fiercely. The dagger shot through the air.
Just as it was about to approach one shadow, Katarina's figure vanished and appeared directly above the dagger. She gripped the blade and rcilessly slashed downward.
The dagger sliced open the shadow's head. Evidently, this was a fatal wound to it as well.
Another shadow pounced. Katarina swung her left hand. There was no weapon in it, but in midair, the air seed to ripple for a brief instant. She grabbed a dagger out of thin air and held it in her hand, sweeping it across the monster's neck.
After that, her figure flashed constantly. That posture was truly like a ghost. Every ti her dagger moved, a shadow lost its life.
After one wave of shadows was cleared, another quickly appeared.
The long-missed real battle made Katarina's body and mind more delighted than ever. She had originally thought that after going so long without real combat, her body would have rusted.
But the truth was not like that. She clearly discovered that compared to when she had left Noxus, she was now much stronger, and not just by a little.
Her whole body felt as if it had been remade. Every cell was incomparably active, and every part of her body felt incredibly light.
Even if she was unwilling to admit it, she knew this situation could not be separated from that guy.
Just the dicinal baths she soaked in every day, with those precious herbs, had already brought no small change to her body.
Not to ntion that, during this ti, both her als and living conditions had improved greatly, and her state of mind had also changed.
Under the influence of all these factors, the bottleneck that had been holding back Katarina's strength had unknowingly loosened.
She imrsed herself in battle like this, while the shadows seed endless, appearing one after another.
Luke moved alone along the silent, empty mountain path. Although his surroundings were dark, his vision was very clear.
This road was not suited for riding, so halfway through, Luke had chosen to dismount and continue forward on foot.
The surroundings were deathly quiet. There was not the slightest sound of birds or beasts. The eerie atmosphere made his mind alert.
Suddenly, a figure appeared ahead, causing Luke to imdiately stop.
Under the hazy light, that alluring figure quietly stood there. Beneath the demon's strange and beautiful face, she wore a soul-stirring smile. The lashers behind her curved slightly, and her whole body was wreathed in an aura of purple and black.
"Darling, long ti no see. Did you miss ?"
Evelynn's seductive voice rang out. Its utterly alluring, enchanting tone drifted toward Luke, matched with her deeply affectionate eyes and soul-snaring gaze. Just this alone could make a man's heart speed up.
"Of course I missed you."
A smile appeared on Luke's face. He drew Snowglance's long blade and smiled. "Co over here and let stab you again."
Evelynn's enchanting expression changed for a mont, then returned to seductive charm. She said in a coquettish voice, "It hurt so much when you stabbed last ti. Can you be a little gentler this ti?"
Her every move and every word released a tempting charm. Her intensely alluring figure was full of temptation. Just seeing her from afar could make soone's blood run hot.
Even from this distance, it seed possible to sll the thick fragrance drifting from that side.
This fragrance could make a person's heartbeat accelerate, make their mind grow dazed, and stir the deepest desire and throbbing in their heart.
Simply put, it was the scent of mating.
Even Luke had been affected the last ti he saw Evelynn.
This ti, however, was different. There was not even the slightest stirring in his heart, and his expression was very calm.
After seeing his reaction, Evelynn was also slightly surprised, and her enchanting eyes flickered.
Her charm, to humans, was a fatal temptation.
This was the special ability heaven had bestowed on her. Almost no one could remain completely unmoved under her full charm the way Luke did.
Last ti, she had not used her full charm. Because she had been careless, this guy had caught her off guard.
This ti, her serious charm actually had no effect at all.
However, even if it had worked, Evelynn would not believe it anymore.
She did not want to fall in the sa place twice.
Bang, bang, bang!
At that mont, the sound of fireworks ca from everywhere in the forest.
Seeing this, Evelynn's bewitching face curved into a gorgeous smile, and her demon eyes flashed with strange light in the night. "Looks like your companions have all run into trouble. Now no one will disturb our little world for two."
Her toes stepped out lightly onto the muddy ground, and her figure suddenly disappeared into the shadows of the night.
A gust of wind swept past, making the wild grass sway, as if sothing were moving at high speed.
Without the slightest hesitation, Luke raised Snowglance and slashed down toward a patch of empty air. As the sword light flashed, Evelynn's figure appeared at the edge of the blade.
She used her claws to block the long blade, her whole body wreathed in surging dark aura. Her strange eyes looked at Luke up close. Then she stretched out her tongue and licked her lips. "You really are a man unlike any other. If this were an ordinary ti, I would definitely cherish you properly."
As she spoke, her alluring smile remained unchanged, but her gaze grew cold, and her aura surged even more violently. "But right now, give my power back first."
The portion of power that had been stolen from her had affected her source. If she did not reclaim it, her body would always feel like there was an empty gap in it that could not be filled.
And as ti passed, Evelynn discovered that the effect was far more than that.
At her current stage, no matter how she gained power, a portion would leak away through that gap.
This increasingly proved just how important the power Luke had taken back then was.
During this period, she had also been chased by Vayne's demon-hunting squad the entire way, with no ti at all to gain more power.
Instead, through repeated battles, she had suffered injuries of varying degrees.
So at this mont, Evelynn no longer disguised anything. She directly released her violent power, intending to end the battle as quickly as possible.
Only by reclaiming that lost portion of her source power could she return to the perfect version of herself from before.
She could clearly feel that her power was now inside the human before her.
"It's been so long since we've seen each other. Aren't you going to sit down and chat?" Under the violent aura of the demon before him, Luke withdrew and retreated, his figure rapidly moving back to open up distance.
But Evelynn did not give him a chance to escape. At full speed, she chased him directly, her demon claw falling from midair. "There will be plenty of ti to chat later. As long as you behave, I can make you lose yourself in pleasure."
Luke raised his sword and blocked, his tone curious. "How much pleasure are we talking?"
"The kind that feels so good you can't breathe. Don't you truly want to taste ?"
Evelynn attacked with full force. Multiple streaks of purple light appeared in the air, her lashers and sharp claws moving so fast they left afterimages. "To tell you the truth, I have never experienced that kind of thing myself. If it's you, I'm very willing to make an exception. If we truly joined together, I imagine the taste would be exquisite."
She was full of charm. In that mont, Evelynn beca seductive beyond asure, tempting enough to make a person's very bones go soft.
Even while fighting with all her strength, this demon did not forget to use her charm to interfere with others.
Naturally, Luke did not believe her nonsense at all, and he could not be bothered to keep talking. His aura suddenly changed. Righteous energy surrounded him, his gaze becoming incomparably sharp. His eyes carried a force that could shake the heart, and they even emitted a faint charm.
Even Evelynn, upon seeing those eyes, felt as if sothing had scratched at her heart. It was actually a familiar kind of charm.
In the next second, Luke's aura rose again. Fierce wind howled, and surging sword intent seed to spread outward like an umbrella. This was the terrifying aura created by two powerful sword intents at the perfected level blending together.
The wild grass and flowers around them bent down. Branches swayed. The air filled with trendous pressure.
In the next second, Luke slashed out.
Powerful sword intent fell with that strike. The terrifying aura made Evelynn unwilling to underestimate it. She dodged at full speed, then opened up distance.
Looking at Luke, who seed like a different person from before, her gaze condensed. The man before her had beco much stronger than when she had seen him last ti.
In the human world, such rapid growth could probably be considered monstrous.
While thinking this, she did not forget to smile and say, "You don't believe ? Until now, no human has ever explored my body, but I think you can. Let us sink together."
As the final note of her voice fell, the purple aura around her grew even more alluring, burning like flas.
Suddenly, a sense of danger ca. Luke accelerated without hesitation, while simultaneously slashing his sword toward Evelynn's direction.
With a ripping sound, a huge, high-speed tornado suddenly erupted, howling as it swept up everything on the ground. It was extrely fast, arriving before Evelynn in the blink of an eye.
At the instant after he moved, purple spikes pierced up from the ground, flashing with deadly cold light and continuously chasing after Luke.
Evelynn released a powerful aura, eerie and cold. Demonic power surged out, easily blocking the tornado that rushed toward her. The temperature in the air plumted.
In the next second, she raised her claws and caught Luke's slash, while her lashers stabbed fiercely toward him.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several afterimages of sword light appeared in the air at extrely high speed. The sharp sword light was so fast it dazzled the eyes. Every strike was accompanied by a humming sound, and the wind intent gathering in the air caused a focused aura to swirl around Luke.
Even Evelynn beca cautious under this kind of slashing.
Her gaze sharpened, and she increasingly felt that the man before her was not simple. She had experienced this sword technique last ti as well.
However, the feeling this ti was completely different. It was practically a qualitative change.
What Luke was using now was Wind-Wielding Swordsmanship at the return-to-essence level, combined with perfected Wind-Wielding Sword Intent. It could be said to have no flaws. It was also supported by perfected Wuju Sword Intent, and Chain Slash greatly increased the speed of his strikes. Not one slash could be underestimated.
At the sa ti, he was strengthened by pure white righteousness and Bastion, greatly improving his defense.
Then he adjusted his breathing through breathing arts, bringing his condition to its peak.
Even so, in front of Evelynn, he could not gain the slightest advantage.
It had to be understood that, at this mont, Evelynn was still injured and under a weakened condition.
At this ti, the sword energy Luke released left marks on the surrounding wildflowers, grass, trees, cliffs, and rock walls.
Evelynn's attacks left the ground even more devastated.
The look in her eyes had already changed, as if she had not expected Luke to be able to hold out against her for so long.
This instead made her sowhat anxious, because the longer Luke dragged things out, the more disadvantageous the situation would be for her once those humans ca over and regrouped.
Beside her ear, a cold, low voice ca. "Do you need my help? My price is not high. I only need half of everything this man has."
"Get lost!"
Evelynn snapped angrily. Her aura suddenly changed even more drastically. The black energy and purple light around her beca far more hideous, and her alluring face completely transford into demonic form.
However, in that instant when she was distracted, Luke noticed it.
Naturally, he was unwilling to let this good opportunity pass. His eyes flashed.
In the next second, a blinding white light suddenly burst forth, extraordinarily dazzling. It was like looking directly at the sun from up close. The entire mountain forest was filled with that white light, and even the eyes of the demon watching in the dark were flashed by it.
As for Evelynn at close range, her eyes were stabbed with unbearable pain.
This white light vanished in a flash, but it gave Evelynn a bad premonition. Her eyes had been blinded by the glare, making it impossible to see Luke's attack. She could only dodge by instinct and rapidly retreat.
By the ti her vision recovered, she stood in place with several sword wounds already on her body, demon blood flowing out.
"You actually know magic too."
Evelynn's voice was cold and full of fury. Her gaze looked at Luke icily, and the aura around her fluctuated in a particularly hideous way.
In the next second, she felt that a portion of power was leaking away from the wounds on her body.
This made her even angrier.
This damned human, why did he have so many dirty tricks?
"Do you like it?"
Luke felt power slowly coming from Snowglance, blessing him, and a smile curved at the corners of his mouth.
What he had just used was White Flash.
A level-nine White Flash. Although it was only one flash, its effect was extrely powerful.
This was even one of Luke's trump cards.
"I still underestimated you."
Evelynn's voice carried a bit of gritted-teeth hatred. At this mont, she completely abandoned her human form and changed toward her demon body.
Her figure was still alluring like a woman's, but over that abnormally pale skin, small purple barbs appeared. Her lashers beca even thicker, their tips like sharp wasp stingers wrapped in black energy.
Her hands shone with purple cold light, her demon claws as large as a giant beast's talons.
In this form, her power consumption would accelerate, but she would also beco even stronger.
She no longer wanted to drag this out. Originally, she had not wanted that demon to see her trump card.
But now, she had no choice.
Staring at Luke ahead, Evelynn suddenly moved.
In only the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Luke and swung a claw. The air itself rippled from that strike.
Luke's danger sense gave a strong warning, and his instincts made him raise his long blade. Even so, he was blasted more than twenty ters away.
His body flew backward like a kite with its string cut. He stabilized himself in midair. Although he had not suffered much damage, he was still slightly surprised in his heart that the demon had not used her full strength earlier.
One thick, hideous spike after another stabbed toward him from the ground.
Luke dodged with a chain of jumps, but the spikes kept chasing him relentlessly, attacking from every direction. Every strike seed capable of being fatal, while Evelynn ca at him from the front.
In an instant, he fell into danger.
"Damn it."
Luke took a deep breath and stopped holding back.
He directly slashed out with full force. Violent winds mixed with sword intent, and the air churned like a boiling kettle. The surging, intense sword intent filled the surrounding air with sharpness.
This strike directly severed the spikes around him, but in only an instant, the spikes regenerated and continued stabbing at him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
anwhile, the roaring wind sword energy was easily blocked by Evelynn, who continued rushing toward Luke.
Her full-force strike swept through midair and was about to fall.
However, in that instant, several spikes suddenly changed direction and stabbed toward Evelynn instead.
A trace of astonishnt flashed in her eyes, but she continued her attack. Her lashers stabbed out fiercely, as if they wanted to tear everything before her apart.
But in the next second, the look in her eyes was completely covered by shock.
Under her gaze, Luke's entire body changed. A demonic aura appeared, and black mist coiled around him.
His arm had also changed form. It was now a demon claw exactly like hers.
His aura suddenly beca even more solid, blocking her full-force attack.
Now, Evelynn's eyes flashed with an unbelievable shock. Her mood was like a towering wave, impossible to calm for a long ti.
She dodged the spikes that had changed direction, then opened up distance, still looking at Luke in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
That extrely familiar feeling made Evelynn one hundred percent certain.
There was absolutely no mistake. That was her power.
But precisely because of that, how could this human possibly use her power?
Last ti, absorbing her power into the sword's body and slashing it out had already been ridiculous enough.
Now, this guy had actually absorbed the power into his body, and he could use it freely. That was the truly absurd part.
No wonder she had felt a familiar charm from this guy earlier.
So this bastard had been using her damn power all along.
Evelynn had never seen anything this strange in her life.
Right now, her whole demonic mind was a little stunned.
At this mont, Luke was also looking at his transford right arm, sowhat surprised. He had not expected that he could even control those spikes.
Thinking of this, he looked at Evelynn, and a smile could not help appearing at the corners of his mouth. "Your power is really useful."
Right now, he felt that his strength had increased quite a bit, but his stamina was also being consud rapidly.
"Damn you!"
Seeing this guy using her own power without any restraint, Evelynn felt an imnse humiliation. Especially after seeing that mocking smile, she instantly could not hold back anymore.
And this hateful guy seed to have scraped away a little more power with that damned weapon during the battle just now.
Infuriating!
The aura around her fluctuated with extre instability. A violent, terrifying breath surged outward in every direction. In her rage, Evelynn charged out again.
However, this ti, her demonic whip-stingers were no longer a threat to Luke. No matter how powerful the attack was, Luke had a way to deal with it.
With righteousness, Bastion, and wind intent surrounding him, his defense was not weak at all.
The two sides once again fought, and their power drained even faster.
Their fierce attacks destroyed everything around them.
It was during this process that Evelynn suddenly cald down and took the initiative to open up distance. Her form changed, returning to the previous state.
Her eyes were full of fury as she stared at Luke unwillingly.
Being attacked by this guy using her own power was simply an extraordinary humiliation.
If she could, she would love nothing more than to tear the hateful man before her apart right now.
But she could not do that.
In her current incomplete state, she simply could not take down Luke in a short ti.
As her power continued to be consud, the situation would only beco increasingly unfavorable for her.
Most importantly, there was also a demon watching hungrily from the side.
Although she and that demon were temporarily allied right now, this kind of alliance could be broken very easily.
The premise for their alliance was also built on both sides being equal in strength while neither was in a complete state.
Otherwise, Evelynn could have chosen to directly devour the other party to restore her strength.
If one could devour a demon of the sa level, the improvent to another demon would be enormous.
If successful, not only could her lost power be replenished, but her overall strength might even rise to a new level.
So if she kept fighting like this, even if she could reclaim that portion of her own power, she believed the demon who had been watching from the side for so long would choose to act directly.
Even now, Evelynn could feel that demon on the side, restless and eager to move.
Naturally, she could not give him this kind of opportunity.
But that also ant Evelynn had to give up this perfect chance to reclaim her power.
Naturally, she was extrely unwilling in her heart.
"I'll let my power stay with you for now. Sooner or later, I'll take it back."
Evelynn looked at the man before her with an extrely displeased gaze, but her face had returned to a seductive expression. As her words fell, her figure blended into the night as if she had vanished.
"Don't worry. I'll make good use of it."
Luke revealed a smile. "But it would be even better if you could give more."
A sharp attack suddenly fell from the air, but it was only aid at a tree, tearing it apart with a fierce strike, declaring the demon's fury before leaving.
Truly damned.
