Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 540: Battle Of Brothers (2)

From the wriggling shadow, a muddy object arched upwards, and then the ground gradually rose like a clay bag. However, it was not a clay bag, but something darker from the shadows. The deep shadow gradually stretched out and condensed into the outline of the human body. The last figure was exactly the same as Seguris, but the shadow figure formed from shadows appeared in Alan's eyes.

The shadow man's body was only blurry, without any armor or facial features, and his aura was obscure. Its hands were twisted and its fingers were stretched out, forming the shape of a blade. A shadow figure like this appeared one by one from the shadows of the surrounding woodlands. In the blink of an eye, there were at least twenty shadow figures in front of Alan.

"Brother, I have to say that you chose a good battlefield. The shadows are everywhere, almost my home ground. If it weren't for this environment, it would have been a bit difficult for me to summon the Shadow Legion." Ceglis raised his hand and pointed the shadow blade at Alan. "Go, my shadow. Tear him to shreds!"

After giving the order, the shadow man pulled out a black shadow and rushed towards Alan. They were originally made up of shadows, without any weight, and were extremely fast. Almost immediately, a shadow man arrived in front of Allen, and a shadow blade in his hand stabbed straight into Allen's left eye.

Allen tilted his head and sliced Qian Jun from the bottom up. The heavy saber entered the shadow man's body without any hindrance, but it swept out from the shadow man's right shoulder without any obstruction as if it was swinging the air. Apart from the distortion of his figure, the shadow man did not have much influence and stabbed at Alan's chest. Alan flew back, and a shadow man surrounded him on both sides. Several shadow blades attacked him at the same time.

Qianjun waved his grip, but the shadow blade pierced through the heavy blade and brushed past Allen's body. Suddenly, a bone-chilling sensation came from Allen's body, and a small wound appeared on his body that looked like hair. More and more Shadow Cultivators rushed over, and Alan's heavy saber was unable to harm them at all, not even able to block them. They were like real shadows, invisible and intangible, but they could actually hurt Alan.

The one who had attacked Orban earlier was a shadow man who appeared from the shade behind the count. Alan didn't have time to warn Ou Ban because of the sudden incident. He could only praise the devil and let it hurt Ou Ban. Now there were more shadows attacking Allen, and the wounds they left on his body were increasing.

Alan suddenly retreated and used his hands to protect his chest and head, directly smashing into the bodies of the shadow men behind him. The blade of the shadow added a few more wounds to his back, and Alan exchanged them for the chance to escape from the Shadow Legion.

"It's useless." Seguris shook his head. "You're just breathing."

However, he saw Alan break free from the encirclement of the shadow and immediately swing his saber in his direction. There was a bright light in the air where the blade passed. The orange light split the world in Seguris' eyes into two, and the light was rushing towards him. Segris immediately rolled over and the light brushed past him. He could smell the burning heat in the air. That inconspicuous light actually contained astonishing heat energy!

Alan chopped out a flame breath, but unfortunately, he didn't hit Seguris. The latter landed and smiled, "Your brain is really agile, thinking that I am the only target that can hit. But it's useless, such an attack is …"

Before he could finish his sentence, Alan said coldly, "Who said my target is you?"

"What?" Before Seguris could react, he heard a strange sound behind him. Looking back, a few old trees were cut off by the flames, and their bodies fell to the ground, shaking up the fallen leaves on the ground.

At this moment, the Shadow Legion surrounded Alan. Seagris looked over and saw orange light flashing in the shadow army. They passed through the shadow man and cut off the trees around them. As the trees fell to the ground in all directions, without the broad canopies of the old trees to block them, the sun shone down without restraint. With light, there would naturally be no space for shadows to exist. Without shadows, the Shadow Origin Energy that was used to maintain the existence of the Shadow Cultivator was also lost.

The shadow figures gradually turned pale, thin, and finally dissipated. In the sunlight, Alan stood with his saber in hand. The indifferent smile on his face made Seguris feel extremely dazzling. He let out a roar and instantly dodged forward. His figure flickered several times, making it difficult to capture. Alan's eyes went blurry. Seagris had already placed a palm on his face. Then, he pushed forward and the two of them disappeared into the air.

Ou Ban looked from ear to ear, almost wondering if he had seen wrongly. At this moment, the wound was in intense pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He lowered his head and saw that the blood on his chest had been stopped. There was no sign of the blood stains on the cloth melting further. However, there were more and more black threads that spread to other parts of his body. Ou Ban lifted the cloth strip with his trembling fingers and saw that the skin on the wound had already turned dark, so dark that it was shocking.

At the same time, Alan was also in absolute darkness. All he could hear was Ceglis' cold laughter. Alan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the mark of a prairie blade lit up on his forehead. Qianjun immediately wrapped up in a flame, and this flame continued to grow, spreading out in all directions, finally illuminating Seguris' face that was filled with surprise.

In the next moment, a black mist exploded out of thin air. The figure of Seguris rushed out of the black mist, and then a large wave of fire spurted out from the mist. Only after the wave of fire dissipated did Alan get out. He rolled on the ground and stood up again.

'"I never thought that one day someone would use this method to break through my shadow space. You are truly worthy of being my brother. It seems that these tricks are useless against you," Seguris said with an extremely grave expression on his face, "I never thought that one day someone would use this method to break through my shadow space."

Alan exhaled. There were quite a few wounds on his body. Although they were all minor injuries, there were too many wounds and there was a lot of blood flowing out of them. Now, his physical strength had dropped by quite a bit. Furthermore, the cold energy released by the Shadow Blades from the wounds left by the Shadow Legion was invading his body. It wasn't a big problem yet, but Alan didn't know what kind of damage this shadow energy would cause when his Origin Energy was depleted.

Fortunately, after repeatedly destroying Seguris' ability, this alien seemed to be about to reveal his trump card. Ellen was sure that Segaris' trump card was not something he could easily endure. However, if he could catch a flaw and counterattack, it would be fatal for Seguris. Even if they couldn't kill him, they could at least knock him back.

Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Alan could only give it a shot. Otherwise, he could only stop here.

Seguris' aura was constantly increasing, and the aura he released was completely different from the opponents Alan had encountered in the past. It wasn't as powerful as it was suppressing, but rather, it was nothing more than nothingness. His aura was like a constantly spreading shadow. The more he sensed it, the deeper the shadow would be.

Threads of pitch-black flames rose up, and a silhouette gradually appeared behind Seguris. At first, it was a dense shadow, and gradually, other colors began to inject into it, beginning to sketch out details and textures. A moment later, a huge figure appeared behind Seguris. It wore a dark, gorgeous and dignified helmet. Black gaseous flames continuously erupted from behind the helmet, spreading out in all directions.

Beneath the helmet was a metallic face. One could tell that it was a mask. The facial features on the mask were extremely dignified, and in the sockets of his eyes, there was a faint blue light like ice.

The black armor was decorated with dark purple curves. A dark purple cloak hung down from the armor on both shoulders. There was no outline of the body in the cloak, only a shadow of nothingness. The hands stretched out from the shadows were wrapped in a dark purple armor covered in spikes. As for the part of his palm, it was made up of black gaseous flames that could not be swallowed.

"Originally, I thought that there was no need to use a projection, but I didn't expect that I would still have to summon it. Shadow Emperor Oracnia!" '"Since it's here, you have no chance of winning, brother," Seguris said with a smile.

"Is that so?" "It's not the end," said Alan coolly. "The outcome is hard to predict."

"I admire your spirit of never giving up. I have to say, you are a smart guy. Take my Shadow Legion for example. You know that shadows are not allowed to be exposed to the light, so you cut off the trees and let the sun set to expel the shadows." Seguris raised his head and looked at the huge projection on his head. "But for Oracnia …" he said.

He lowered his head and smiled, "It can expel sunlight!"

Alan was shocked. At this moment, the Shadow Emperor behind Seguris's eyes shone with blue light. The projection raised its hands and the cloak hanging from its shoulder armor rose to the left and right. Large clumps of pitch-black aura continuously surged out of the void. They quickly obscured Seguris' figure. They devoured the sunlight and covered the sky. As a result, the light around Allen quickly dimmed down and grew dimmer. In the end, he was left in absolute darkness.

This was a pitch-black darkness. Alan even released Origin Energy to sense the surrounding space, giving back only a feeling of nothingness. '"Oracnia is also known as the Light-less Monarch, just like the Light-less Kingdom it created now. You can't see or feel anything here, it's like you've fallen into a bottomless abyss. The darkness will devour your courage, your will, everything you have!" Segris's voice echoed in the darkness.

"Here, I am the ruler of everything!"

Ou Ban was shocked as a black ball of light appeared in front of him. The edge of the ball of light was only a few centimeters away from his feet. This huge ball of light that had reached a diameter of nearly a hundred meters was like a cocoon of light, as if it contained some kind of evil. Ou Ban tried to sense what was inside, but when all his perceptual methods came into contact with the black ball of light, it was like a rock sinking into the sea, and he couldn't get any feedback at all.

The count was no longer aware of Alan's condition.
