The King of Black Fog

"Gula can see the future, but is also limited by the environment, can't see everything, perhaps—" the Black Flame Dragon glanced around, "right now, there might be little ice men lurking around us."

"Then checking our clothes is useless!" the child cursed.

The Black Flame Dragon frowned: "Calm down, your patience is increasingly like a child."

"You said—" The child was about to explode in anger, but suddenly fell silent, his complexion extremely gloomy.

He was gradually losing control, or rather, becoming more like a child.

The side effects of the 'Great Power-Life and Death Separation' had already reached a point of no return, the child had long crossed that boundary—when he was more like a child, he became indifferent to 'becoming a child,' and began to use the 'Great Power' recklessly.

"Only 'Darkness' remains." The child's voice was full of hostility, "We must quickly get rid of or solve him, then go obtain the 'Never Dying.'"

"'Darkness'..." The Black Flame Dragon felt troubled.

If it came to direct confrontation, he wasn't afraid of the enemy, after all, the blind one had seen several times that the opponent could only harm him through the dragon's mouth.

The scale armor of the Black Flame Dragon couldn't completely resist 'Darkness,' but it could stall the opponent.

Stalling would be enough, as on their side were the child and the Ice Sword lady, both of whom had strong combat capabilities.

"I..." the blind man trembled, "I saw a path, maybe there's a way, we can—"

"Shhh!" The Ice Sword lady placed a finger on her lips, "No need to explain." She glanced around, possibly at the little ice men.

The blind man had actually "seen" her saying that.

He led them into darkness and was captured alive by the Black Box.

"Protect me! It was I who brought them here!" the blind man shouted.

The Black Flame Dragon's previously astonished expression turned ferocious, as dragon's mouth tore open, spewing out scorching, high-temperature dragon flame.

Unlike before, when he was terrified and trying to escape reality, this time facing the dragon flame, the blind man stood calmly, with no fear.

The top of the Black Box dripped down like tar, forming a black wall that separated the blind man from the Black Flame Dragon and the others.

"Life—Death—Separation—"

A breathtaking green light and dragon flame simultaneously erupted, washing over the black wall like a flood.

The black wall gradually became transparent, as if darkness was being dispelled by a rising sun.

But shadows... cannot be killed.

The black wall constantly repaired itself, confronting the green light and dragon flame, seemingly dangerous, yet effortlessly protecting the blind man.

Soon, the dragon flame ceased, and the Black Flame Dragon pulled back the child who had fallen into a rage again, madly using his strength.

The Black Flame Dragon looked at the mummy.

The mummy unwrapped the bandage, cut off a piece of skin, and attached it to the Black Box.

[Name: Shadow Devoured]

[Owner: Li Changzhou]

[Analysis: 'Great Power-Shadow' devoured by '■■■■']

[Shadow: Can use shadow to fight; shadows cannot be destroyed; the more frequently it is used, the more fatigued the shadow becomes, until it devours the possessor, ending a life of exhaustion, and eternally sleeping in darkness.]

"Devoured?"

"Could it be another more powerful 'Great Power'?"

◇

At this moment, Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan were puzzled.

In the blind man's eyes, they had already killed the Black Flame Dragon and others countless times, forcing the future-seeing blind man to directly defect, whereas actually... they had done nothing but sent little ice men deep into the labyrinthine caves.

Yet the other side foolishly came over, making Li Changzhou hesitant to make a move, finally capturing them alive with the Black Box on a whim.

"My lord!" The blind man knelt inside the Black Box, he 'saw' that Li Changzhou could hear him, "I am willing to pledge my allegiance, to offer everything I know, with just one request, hoping you would protect me, and take me back above the Abyss!"
