Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Very few had seen the true form of a Shadow Dragon . For an apex being that lived within the shadows, its existence itself was a miracle .
And Yinan was now witnessing that miracle with his own eyes . His body froze as strands of black smoke started appearing all over his body . That was the signifier of his life force leaving him .
The Shadow Dragon was naturally born with the ability to consume the shadows, and the Shadow Dragonking was even more so equipped with the ability to drag a living being straight into the shadows .
Yinan’s dark powers roiled as he tried to break the hold . But no matter what he did, that powerful binding power held him in place .
“I… I can’t die here!!!”
*Ahhhhhh!!!*
Within his mind, layers upon layers of thin dark light shattered . The black light seemed to be like a gate to a tunnel, and beyond it was a vast, endless emerald ocean .
The waters were roiling as ten-meter-tall waves were being kicked up . Within the waves, a massive black-green monster appeared as it turned into a shadow and charged toward the entrance .
*Roarrrrr!!*
An ethereal salamander appeared out of nowhere behind Yinan as it lowered its head and let out a furious roar at the Night Lord .
That instantly broke the binding and Yinan finally regained control of his body .
“Wha…?! What was that?!” His eyes were bloodshot red as he had not realized what had happened .
The moment he felt something was not right, and thankfully things had suddenly changed . Without any recourse, he had broken the gate to the ocean and materialized the spirit salamander from the Eventide .
Before he could drop a command, however, the spirit salamander, Herakles had appeared on its own volition, roaring as it protected its host .
The Night Lord had suddenly changed too . The dark shadow that had grabbed his leg was still trying to clamber upward .

*Hiss!!!* Streaks upon streaks of black lightning blasted out as the two powers collided .
The massive amount of dark powers within the Palatinate roiled wildly and fought against the shadow in a battle of attrition . At the same time, the Eventide too had provided him with a continuous supply of dark powers, yet his Astral Projection ability was creaking under pressure .
That was the sound of it being crushed between two powerful forces .
Instinctively, Yinan took two steps back as he was about to use his dagger to cut the shadow off his body . But the variable that he had not thought would happen, happened .
*Crash!!*
The silver screen of the Astral Projection finally shattered .
“Sh*t!”
His iris shrank as he was about to dart out of the screen to pull some distance .
But he was still one step too slow .
A massive shadow of the dragon appeared beneath him . And the shadow was getting larger and closer by the moment .
Yinan let out a menacing expression as spasms ran through his entire body, and slapped both of his hands together .
“You want to kill me?! Then, you shall die with me!!!”
A bright, crystalline light blasted out from his chest .
Within the light was an ellipsoidal tapestry with all sorts of patterns on it .
“Astral Projection: The Empyrean Tapestry!”

And in that instant, the light exploded like the sun .
The tapestry disintegrated alongside the explosion, its boundaries suddenly expanded as it tried to swallow everything within the area into it .
The pebbles on the ground, the street lamps, the mist within the air, and even half a block of an apartment nearby… Everything was being distorted, shrank and quickly swallowed into the tapestry .
However, the light and the edge of the tapestry simply just stopped before the Night Lord . Countless of dark, menacing dragon scales had appeared on his body as countless of black smoke burnt like flames . A pair of curved dragon horns formed out of smoke extended from the top of his head backward until the center of his back .
The tapestry’s edge clashed against the sea of black smoke beneath his legs, and could not advance .
Even Khadula’s massive human face had disappeared, and what was left was a white-haired girl laying within the Night Lord’s arms .
The clash of powers sent out powerful gales, and the resulting wind sent their clothes fluttering .
A moment later, the tapestry in the air disappeared and Yinan fell onto one knee onto the ground .
He looked viciously at the Night Lord, but just as he opened his mouth, a gush of fresh blood spat out of it .
“Very well… it’s my mistake this time… just you wait…
“Ughh!!!”
A diagonal wound suddenly blasted out in his chest . A wound almost half a meter long suddenly ran through his entire body . And blood spat out like a fountain .
“Let’s go!”
Yinan staggered as he summoned a ray of green light that engulfed the nearby Reinier as he crushed something in his other hand .
With a crack, countless of snow-like marks appeared around them as a pure white pillar-like screen appeared from the ground up and covered them within it .

“We will meet again… The Night Lord, eh… Soon… Soon…”
“Ugh!”
He suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood as swarms of black smoke appeared all over him . That was the effect of being under the Dragonking’s Gaze, resulting in the loss of life force at regular intervals .
With a hiss, the two light pillars disappeared as Yinan and Reinier went along with it .
And calm soon returned to the area .
The people from the Bloodgrave had long run away after things got out of hand .
All that was left were craters and a ruined battlefield .
The night wind was chilly as it kicked up a slight cloud of dust .
The Night Lord stood motionlessly .
“Brother…” Khadula called out weakly as the Night Lord’s massive frame fell backward and slammed hard onto the ground .
On the black lake’s surface .
Lin Sheng quietly looked at the Night Lord who entered the place once again .
He had not planned to let the Night Lord out… but when Khadula appeared, that made him realize that he actually cared about something .
It was almost comical that he had grown attached to a split soul of his own .
But that was what had happened .
“He’s strong…” The Night Lord stood on the surface on the lake and smiled slightly . “My apologies, I could not hold him back . ”
“That’s more than enough,” Lin Sheng said . “It was my fault . If I had not been greedy about using your body, this would not have happened .
“I don’t blame you, but it’s just too bad . ” The Night Lord’s body became ethereal as black particles were released from his body toward the sky .
“What’s too bad?” Lin Sheng asked .
“It’s too bad that…” The Night Lord opened up as if he was about to say something, but he stopped as he looked at Lin Sheng .
“Forget it . Smooth… sailing…”
He smiled one last time as his body disintegrated and turned into countless black particles that flew into the sky .
