In the dim wilderness, a pair of deep red eyes flickered in the darkness, like a lurking cheetah. The figure silently watched the distant target, its fingers sliding gently over the dagger, its sharp edge shining cold. Its body is almost completely integrated with its surroundings, and even the sound of breathing is silenced.
Code name: Shadow Blade.
Camp: Abandon son.
Sequence: Shadow Walker (Sequence 3).
Potential rating: Grade A.
Shadowblade is one of the assassins of the Abandoned Son camp, specializing in stealth, assassination and tracking. His body has been transformed by special rituals of the Renunciation camp, and he has extremely high stealth abilities, and can manipulate the darkness itself to provide cover for his actions.
His natural ability is the "Shadow Walk", which allows him to completely blend into the shadows in a short time, moving silently behind the target. The more powerful ability is "Shadow etching", which plants a shadow imprint on the target's body with each attack, causing the enemy to feel endless pain and fear.
Shadowblade whispered, "The inheritance of the Lost Valley is not a place for anyone to approach." His eyes locked on Elena standing in front of the statue. This woman is the only "Sequence 1" awakened person in the abandoned child rumor. Although her existence was once regarded as a mystery and legend by the Forsaken, in the eyes of Shadowblade, she was nothing more than an outsider who did not know the rules.
Shadowblade is not trying to kill her, his mission is to stop anyone from getting close to the statue's secrets. It's just, he doesn't go easy on the target when he has to. Watching Elena reach out to touch the base of the statue, his nerves tense, his body into a blur of dark shadow, silently approaching the target.
By the time Elena heard the light wind, it was too late. A dagger came suddenly from behind her, with a cold murderous intent, to her vital point. She reacted quickly, tumbling to one side as the dagger grazed her shoulder but left a deep gash.
She steadied herself and turned to look at the attacker, her eyes cold: "Finally showed up?"
The blade slowly stepped out of the shadows, the dagger twirling in his hand, with a slight irony in his voice: "It never ends well for those who trespass in the Valley of the Lost."
"Lost Valley?" Elena raised her eyebrows and clenched her short sword, "It looks like you are one of the abandoned children in the rumor." Very well, I was looking for you."
"Looking for us? The Shadow blade chuckled. "Invaders like you deserve to die here."
Before he spoke, his body melted into the darkness again, completely disappearing from Elena's sight. The air around her was momentarily subdued, and Elena felt a vague sense of murder floating around, as if it would hit her in the back the next moment.
The Shadow of the Shadow Blade is quietly approaching, his talent "shadow walk" makes him almost completely invisible, and his dagger has been attached to the "shadow Etch" mark, as long as the target, it will send the enemy into complete panic and pain.
He appeared on Elena's right and swung a dagger at her neck. However, just as the dagger was about to touch the target, a strong light suddenly erupted.
"Boom!"
Shadowblade's movements were forcibly interrupted, and his body was forced back by a searing force. He looked up in amazement and was momentarily stunned by what he saw.
Elena stood in front of the statue, holding a brilliant star flame in her hand, the power of light and dark interwoven in her palm. Her eyes were cold, and the corners of her mouth were drawn with sarcasm: "Think you can easily take my life?" You seem to know nothing about me."
The Shadowblade quickly backed away, watching warily the power in Elena's hands. There was a flash of shock in his eyes: "This is... Sequence power of discard? How could you..."
"You have rejected me from your camp, but this land has accepted me." Elena said coldly, the star flame in her hand spreading suddenly into a searing glow.
"Fallen Star Flame (SSS class)!"
Elena's voice was like a cold blade, and the star fire swept away in the direction of the shadow blade. Shadowblade flees the Shadow Step, but he underestimates the speed and scope of the force. The fiery star flame seemed to have its own will, ignoring his concealment and forcing him directly out of the shadows.
Shadowblade fell awkwardly to the ground, his body scorched by the star flame, groaning in pain. He struggled to his feet and gasped, "Who the hell are you... Why have this power..."
Elena slowly approached, the star flame in her hands gradually subsided, but her momentum grew more intense: "I am Elena Cassirer, the former general of the Empire, now the abandoned son." Deprived of light and denied darkness, I still have my destiny."
She held the dagger to the throat of the shadow blade, her voice cold: "Now, tell me, where is the camp of the abandoned son?"
A flicker of struggle flashed through Shadowblade's eyes, and finally, with a deep sigh, he said, "You win... The true secret of the Lost Valley can only be found through this statue. But you need to know, Abandonment Camp is not your sanctuary. If you want to survive, you have to be ready for anything."
Elena did not answer, but looked at him coldly. A moment later, she withdrew her dagger and turned her eyes to the statue.
