An hour after Sarlayan and Valeera sneaked into Black Crow Castle, Sarah Hill started to act according to the plan, and a hazy silver light like moonlight illuminated half of Black Crow Castle.
Bathed in this soft light, the souls in Black Crow Castle seemed to instinctively recall certain things. They all stood there blankly, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky.
"Latusius" felt the magic... or the traces of divine magic from this light.
With a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, "Latusius" didn't want his plan to be exposed at this juncture, so he immediately planned to trick Ravencase into sending troops to suppress the spell caster.
As Valeela's strength increased, her use of Shadow Step became more and more skillful.
Before the fake Latusius could turn around, a shadow appeared behind the translucent soul that shouldn't have a shadow.
When the fake Latusius reacted and tried to dodge sideways, Valeera's dagger had already grazed the side of his chest.
Poison had no effect on the soul, and Valeera wasted no time or energy in poisoning the dagger.
But her dagger contains a small amount of shadow power, and it is not a simple physical attack.
A small stream of soul power spurted out from the wound where the fake Latusius was cut. While he screamed and evaded, the disguise of the fake Latusius was finally torn off.
As expected, "Ratusius" wearing the skin of the upper elf is just a Vrykul covered in seaweed. He is one of the Hylagar warriors under the command of the God of Death, Hela.
"There are assassins! Guards!"
While covering the wound and dodging left and right, the fake Latusius shouted in panic and called for support.
Seeing "Latusius" transform into a strange seaweed man with his own eyes, Kurtalos Ravencrest, who was only partially conscious, was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.
Without direct orders from Lord Ravencrest, the Ghost Guards remained motionless.
However, some Helagal who had very similar appearance to the fake Latuthius rushed out from the shadows and tried to join forces to stop and kill Valeera who was trying to assassinate her compatriots.
Thieves are not good at group battles. They usually escape in time if they miss a hit, waiting patiently for the next opportunity to assassinate.
Valeera, who has received strict training, is undoubtedly a qualified thief. She failed to take the opportunity of a sneak attack to subdue the fake Latusius. Valeera did not want to fight, and threw out glitter on the spot to confuse the eyes of Helagal.
When Helagar, whose eyes were flashed white, regained his sight, Valeela had long disappeared, and Lord Ravencase was looking at "Latusius" who had turned into a living person with suspicion.
"Damn it! Why is it at this time!"
Fake Latusius knew that he had been exposed, gritted his teeth and planned to forcibly restrain Ravencase first, and then find a way to erase this part of his memory and restart the plan.
Although it will waste a lot of time to regain Ravencase's trust, there is no other way now. If Hela knows that his mission has failed...
Fake Latusius shuddered in fear and commanded the other Hylagar to swarm forward.
"Thief Sun! Where are you looking? Your grandpa is over here!"
"boom!"
A figure hit the ground of the Lord's Palace like a cannonball.
With the help of the impact of falling from a height, Sarlayan stepped on the head of one of the unlucky Helagar into the neck.
Before the other Hylajar could react, Sarlayan held Quel'Sera tightly with both hands and slashed the sword towards the other Hylajar in front of him.
Helagar is an elite selected by Hela from a large number of Vrykul souls. Each one is very powerful, at least level 30 or above.
However, the most elite group of Vrykul were taken away by the Val'kyr under Odin. They will accept Odin's transformation after ascending to the Hall of Valor and become the Valargar, the Valargar.
In the final analysis, the so-called Hylajar is just a copycat version of the heroic warrior Valarjar.
When he first met Hylagar, Sarlayan was still relatively weak and could barely win one-on-one, but the two of them had to escape together.
After a long period of experience and adventure, Sarlayan's strength has changed beyond what it used to be.
The powerful and heavy sword slashed straight, splitting Helagal in half from the beginning without any fancy.
No blood will flow out when the soul is injured. The dead Helagar's soul dissipated on the spot, leaving only a pile of smelly seaweed.
Absorbing the soul power that spilled out when Hylajar died, Sarlayan sidestepped an enemy's attack from the side, raised Quel'Sera over his head, and blocked the two Vrykul heavy weapons that were attacking him. sword.
"The strength is acceptable, but it's far from enough!"
Using clever force to deflect the opponent's weapon, Quel'Sera's surface lit up with a layer of faint light, and he counterattacked and slashed out. With the blessing of his skills, he quickly hit the two Valargar owl leaders who were not in a hurry to return to defense.
In just a few seconds, Sarlayan killed four Hylaghars one after another.
After these souls originally belonging to Hela dissipated, no soul power was left behind, and all the energy was sucked into the Blighted Realm by Sharlayan for temporary storage.
Sarlayan's strong appearance firmly attracted the attention of all Helagar, and Valeera, who once again escaped into the shadows, got an excellent second chance to take action.
The fake Latusius is using the power of the soul to repair his wounds, and Valeela obviously does not intend to give him a chance to recover.
The matte-finished dagger stabbed out from behind him silently again.
This time, the fake Latusius finally couldn't hide.
Two daggers covered with the power of shadow were inserted into the back of the fake Latusius's neck and vest respectively.
Although the power of shadow and death are not completely opposite, they come from different origins, so they will still exclude each other.
"Ahhhh!!"
The power of shadow that invaded the soul body made fake Latusius wail in pain, and Valeera took the opportunity to lift up her long and tight thighs and kick the side of his soul body.
Sarlayan and Valeela launched simultaneous attacks one after the other, leaving Helagar and the others not knowing whether to save the front or the rear, and were caught in a dilemma.
Sarlayan didn't care so much. After clearing away Helagal who was charging the fiercest around him, he stretched out his left hand and pinched the neck of the fake Latusius who was kicked by Valeela.
The power of death flowed into the palm of Sarlayan's left hand, and in an instant, the fake was sucked down to the last bit of strength that could barely maintain his soul.
When the guards of Black Crow Castle noticed that intruders were surrounding them, the dozen Helaghars on the scene had been killed by Sarlayan and Valeera, leaving only the last half alive.
That is, the leader of Hylagal pretending to be Latusius.
The crisis has not yet been resolved. Valeera, who was wandering and fighting, retreated behind Sarlayan. Both of them remained alert and looked at Lord Ravencrest, whose attitude was unclear.
"stop!"
Just when the unconscious ghost guards were about to attack Sarlayan and Valeela, Lord Ravencrest, who had been distracted, finally gave the order with a dull expression.
"You... step back first and leave it to me to handle it here."
"Yes, sir."
After mechanically bowing to Lord Ravencrest, the ghost guard put away his weapon and turned away without saying a word, without interfering with anything else.
Ravencase stood up from his lord's seat, walked stiffly in front of Sarlayan and Valeela, and squatted down to check on the fake Latusius without warning.
"I, a Vrykul, would be fooled by such a lame illusion."
Ravencase frowned and rubbed her temples, turned to look at Sarlayan and Valeela, and asked with a complicated expression: "I should be dead a long time ago, right?"
"Why did I appear in Black Crow Castle again? Who are you? Why did this Vrykul pretend to be Latusius to confuse me? What is the situation on the front line?"
Sarlayan felt no hostility from Lord Ravencrest, only endless doubts.
At Sarlayan's instruction, Valeela also withdrew her weapon.
"Lord Ravencase, please don't worry. I will answer your questions one by one."
"But before that, could you please answer our questions first."
Sarlayan asked solemnly: "When did this fake Latusius start to appear? What did he instill in you?"
