Chapter 1828 - 990: Demigod Shadow Demon
In the battlefield,
The body of this Shadow Demon was indistinct, enveloped by bone-corroding Abyssal Black Qi.
With scarlet eyes, it stared fixedly at Lis in the sky, letting out a thunderous roar of anger.
At the same time, the Shadow Power around it frantically battered against the cage controlling the entire small town, obviously enraged by Lis’s actions.
However, Lis was not too anxious.
Shadow Demons were extremely rare in the Abyss, naturally possessing the ability to merge with shadows.
Thus, Shadow Demons were like born assassins among the Abyss Demons, often merging into shadows to ambush and hunt enemies.
This was the same scenario just now, the Shadow Demon had already been lurking in the small town, refraining from directly slaughtering the townspeople, and chose to continue waiting.
It goes without saying, the target of this Shadow Demon likely wasn’t just the people in the town.
As a Demigod Demon, its aim was probably to hunt the following legendary strongmen coming as reinforcements.
Previously, Steven, the Magic Machinery Master of Kane Floating City, was attacked by this Demigod Demon while leading a team to cleanse the Abyss Demons on the Luou Peninsula.
However, fortunately, Steven had the Token from Kane Floating City on him and was close enough to it.
Upon sensing something amiss, Steven directly used the Token in his hand, thus surviving the ambush by this Demigod Shadow Demon.
Though severely injured, it was better than perishing.
At the same time, upon feeling the disturbance from Kane Floating City, the Demigod Shadow Demon also fled directly.
Thus, the team of Transcendents accompanying Steven didn’t suffer any significant losses, which was considered rather fortunate.
After detecting the situation with the Demigod Demon, Risa actively contacted Lis and informed him of the relevant situation.
Such a Demigod-Level Shadow Demon posed a hidden threat to the Luou Peninsula.
Though the Demigod Demon didn’t rampantly hunt, Risa couldn’t place hope on its choice.
Every Legend was important to Kane Floating City, and it was impossible to let them take such a risk at this time.
However, even with Risa in control of Kane Floating City, dealing with a Demigod Demon wasn’t easy.
Moreover, the Demon had an extremely formidable stealth capability.
Thus, only Lis, Kane Floating City’s sole Demigod combatant, could be tasked with handling this Demigod Demon.
Upon learning of the circumstances, Lis didn’t hesitate and returned to Kane Floating City from the Elf Forest.
He had anticipated that the Luou Peninsula wouldn’t be peaceful, but didn’t expect such a trouble to arise so suddenly.
Shadow Demons were quite rare in the Endless Abyss, not to mention ones at the Demigod Rank.
Such a Demon on the Luou Peninsula was undoubtedly a considerable threat.
To Lis, it was like a ticking time bomb, ready to cause him significant trouble at any moment.
Thus, after returning, Lis immediately started searching for the Demigod Shadow Demon.
With Lis’s strength and the various arrangements on the Luou Peninsula, he soon found the Shadow Demon.
He was slightly surprised that the Shadow Demon, like during Steven’s incident, didn’t hurry to attack the people but lay in stealth waiting silently.
You suffered once before, do you really think you can hunt a Legend again?
Lis didn’t hesitate, he directly sealed the Demigod Demon within the small town.
Likewise, Lis wasn’t in a rush to slay the Demon, but began to carefully appraise it first.
This Demigod Demon didn’t feel particularly powerful to him, only slightly stronger than the first Demigod Commander Demon Lis had hunted.
In Lis’s eyes, the Shadow Demon’s body seemed as if it was really composed of shadows, without a physical form.
If Lis hadn’t also mastered the Shadow Rules, finding and controlling this Shadow Demon would indeed have been troublesome.
But why would a demon of this level appear on the Luou Peninsula?
Lis was puzzled.
At the onset of the Abyss Blood Battle, before heading to the Elf Forest, Lis had almost toured his territory and the surrounding regions.
The intensity of the Demon’s Gates opened on the Luou Peninsula wasn’t particularly high.
At least in the short term, they should allow at most only Legendary Demons to pass through, Abyss Demons of Demigod Rank would find it hard to directly descend onto the Luou Peninsula through the Demon’s Gate.
This was unlike the situation in the Elf Forest.
Therefore, Lis felt assured leaving the Luou Peninsula to Risa and the others, while he headed to the Elf Forest directly.
But now, the appearance of this Demigod Shadow Demon made Lis sense something wasn’t quite right.
Could it have come from elsewhere to the Luou Peninsula?
That doesn’t seem likely either, right?
Although this Demigod Shadow Demon, unlike typical Abyss Demons, didn’t blatantly hunt humans, it clearly set its sights on legendary strongmen.
Someone like Steven was quite fortunate.
General legendary strongmen wouldn’t possess the kind of card that allows for forced long-distance teleportation back to Kane Floating City.
And if the Shadow Demon succeeded in hunting down a legendary strongman, Lis would certainly receive intelligence on it.
The Church of the Gods specifically established a channel for message transmission in the Human Kingdom to prevent the lack of information from affecting the fight against Abyss Demons.
