Chapter 45 Part3 (2/2)

He thought he had hidden himself, but it was a pitiful atteht work if the Golden Shadoere fighting against those weaker than hiainst Lee shi+n Woo?

[Stop!]

When Lee shi+n Woo was about to secretly extend his sword and slice the shadow, Are at the forefront, discovered the traces and stiffly ordered his troops to stop Unlike the others, Jin, who had been walking slowly to match their pace, stopped with ease

[He's nearby Golden Shadow! A tough battle awaits us The nearby roads and buildings have been turned inside out!]

[Is it the Golden Shadow General's barrier!?]

Right when the group flinched and stopped, Chi Paul reported through telepathy The Golden Shadow had been caught in the traps, but ultih three of the Chi Pauls, including one level 7 elite, had sustained critical injuries and were forced to retire, the rest of his forces were able to retreat safely

He was a level 8 capable of controlling shadows and was also a part of the 12 Generals, yet none of theer towards Are their abilities by a 'level' or perhaps even more

[Tell the injured to return Pick out only those who can still fight and wait at the place I designate If all goes well, you ainst Anti-Skull as well]

[Understood!]

[Everyone, get ready for battle He'll likely ambush us Focus!]

Lee shi+n Woo saw the Metal Army and Anti-Skull prepare for battle and summoned his oeapons It was the jet-black Giant Drake Horn Lance that he'd infused darkness mana into prior! Areht of it

[Where did you get?]

[Darkness? It is darkness!]

Lee shi+n Woo had fully charged his seventeen weapons within the air The other eight had been hiding in the shadows, but he'd chosen to extract the to show off, but it was kind of laughable that a level 8 gole

”Is this the first time you've seen a lance?”

[If you can wield darkness so easily, then even if you were to fight alone He's co!]

Suddenly, the shadow underneath theh it would dye the entire world black Areathered his own ainst the darkness However, he was only able to protect a portion of his golems Most of them had been trapped within the darkness

[Vellun Von Dorthe!]

[Arema Steelworker You finally show your true colors To think you'd so fearlessly step foot into one of His Majesty's cities I'looh they were both level 8s, it seeh the Golden Shadow General's coathered his mana and fired it within the darkness However, the darkness merely dispersed for a short time and soon filled the air once more

[You really think you can fill the entire world with darkness?]

[The Underground Eoverned by darkness Your metal element is merely unusual That's all!]

[Coth of that unusual power of mine!]

It felt like they'd coly, the Golden Shadow General didn't strike Rather than challenging Areolden mana, the Golden Shadow General safely hid within the darkness and then ambushed one of the Four Heavenly Coht call Since Stake hadn't been able to mount a proper defense and was completely destroyed It made sense After all, it was the surprise attack of a level 8 and one of the 12 Generals Even Lee shi+n Woo had briefly lost track of his ic It's a classic strategy He relies on th to hurt his enenaled the start of the battle The Golden Shadow General's forces attacked all at once

His forces hid within the darkness he'd created and continually appeared and disappeared in different areas They then grouped up and attacked, looking like a wave of darkness

'As I thought, using shadoas a specialized form of darkness

But Lee shi+n Woo could see them clearly, as he'd reached peak darkness mastery If he mixed his darkness within theirs, then he could quickly defeat their entire force, but because he knew that Anti-Skull was hiding so, Lee shi+n Woo decided to not do more than as necessary

'They act like they're so powerful, but the technique doesn't feel invincible Heup!'

[Kuhaahk!?]

[Guaah!]

Lee shi+n Woo swung his lance strangely The approaching wave lost its cutting edge and collapsed instantaneously The Golden Shadohich had been pointing their weapons at Lee shi+n Woo, were flung out He squashed a portion of theed the Golden Shadow General

”You've just lost your subordinates You just going to sit there?”

[Keuk You rat Let's see how long you can avoid rinned at the face of Stake Steelworker's death and fought off the Golden Shadoith ease Areht, spread out his an to chase after the Golden Shadow General Tarian Von Retadane's Anti-Skull force was likewise struggling against the Golden Shadow

'Let's see I wonder what Anti-Skull's hidden objective is'

If Rem ith him, then he'd be able to more easily observe their ht now But now that it'd co it He had no choice but to use his last resort: 'asking the bones theht So that I can easily kill him unnoticed Just a little more You can do it, Golden Shadow!'

Lee shi+n Woo licked his lips and his lance slowly melted into the darkness The Golden Shadow General probably had no idea that the darkness he'd created was being used by someone else
