Darkness enveloped the entire world.

When everyone reopened their eyes and looked around, they were surprised to find that everything had changed. Although they were still standing where they were without any changes, everything else had changed. Whether it was the stalactites or the stalactites,

, or the jumping flames, or those monsters, although they still maintain their original form, the colors have become completely dark and unclear, and the whole world looks like it is surrounded by a flowing black curtain. Not only that

, even the air gives people a cold and stimulating feeling. Just standing there, you can feel the tingling sensation on your skin, as if you are standing in the ice and snow.

In addition, everything seems to be flat, whether it is plants, animals, or those devils. Even the stones and stalactite pillars in front of everyone no longer have a three-dimensional sense, and they look like some kind of

Like flat decorations made from paper.

"This is……………"

Looking at the scene in front of them, many people widened their eyes in surprise. They still remembered watching Zhan destroy a stalactite pillar and press it towards them. But the next moment, what happened to them?

?Could it be said that they have been killed by stalactites?

And at this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Here...this is the plane of shadow!?"

Barty's eyes widened in surprise, looking at everything presented in front of him, with unbelievable surprise in his eyes.

"It really surprised me. I only read about this place in books, but I didn't expect to come here in person..."

Hearing Barty's words, everyone was stunned, and then they immediately looked at Zhan subconsciously. To be honest, everyone had almost forgotten that the young man standing next to them was a rare dual-element holder.

It happens that one of his elements is "shadow". As we all know, element rulers can manipulate elements to easily do things that others cannot do. Opening the passage to the element plane is one of them.

But generally speaking, few people will actually do this. Although the element field is innate and not created by himself. But because of this, if people who are not strong enough want to do this rashly, then

It is very likely to encounter backlash. What's more, not all elements have their own domain plane. For example, body-type elements such as "power" have their plane in the body of the holder. This element field

It’s impossible to open it and let people in...

Of course. If your strength reaches the level of element dominance like Tinidel, then you can naturally do such a thing easily. Although Zhan's strength is only the element dominance level, due to the particularity of the shadow plane, he wants to do it

This is not difficult at all.

"Yes, this is the shadow plane."

Facing everyone's questioning looks, Zhan En nodded, and then he made a gesture.

"Okay, everyone, let's leave here quickly. The shadow plane is not a place where mortals can stay for a long time. If you don't want to get lost in the shadows and become a lonely ghost, then I advise you to leave early.

good."

"So Nuo An's side..."

"I have temporarily closed the passage to the shadow plane. Don't expect him to be able to come in for a while."

Hearing Nadia's question, Zhan responded quickly. Then he took Favna's hand and walked forward. Seeing Zhan leave, the others naturally hurried to follow.

Many of them have heard rumors about the shadow plane. Although there are many documents and scrolls with different records about these fantasy planes. But the only thing that is certain is that this place is definitely not anything.

A good place. It’s not like they haven’t heard of stories about people who mistakenly entered the shadow plane and became lonely ghosts. Naturally, they didn’t want to die in this ghost place after finally escaping from the attack of those demons, so they hurriedly followed.

Go up.

Taking this opportunity, Carter told everyone about what happened to Zhan and Nadia with complaints and anger - just like Zhan, he also met a group of people transformed by priests.

Abnormalities. And finally eliminated these annoying guys. But just when Carter was about to clean the battlefield and conduct a search, Noah suddenly appeared from behind like a ghost and launched an attack on the unsuspecting adventurers and priests.

Attack. Although Carter reacted quickly, Noah, as a killer, naturally had an advantage in this aspect. What's more, everyone had just gone through a fierce battle with the monster. Many people were injured and were caught off guard.

Nuo An succeeded and killed several people in succession. Only then was he blocked by Carter. Then he immediately ordered the remaining priests to release holy light bombs to warn Zhan. What happened after that is very clear.

.

That's what he said, but Carter's face was obviously quite gloomy. It's no wonder that the adventurers he brought this time were all good brothers who had been with him for many years. Although he had lost a few people before, but if it was

It is the honor of a warrior to die in a battle with a monster, but it is a shame to be stabbed in the back by a traitor.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Carter."

Looking at Carter's expression, Nadia felt uncomfortable deep inside.

"The Holy Church..."

"Forget it, I know it's not your fault. After all, even I didn't see anything wrong with that kid. Now that I think about it, his behavior before was indeed weird, but... forget it, it's useless to talk about it now.

.”

Sighing helplessly, Carter shook his head, then looked at Zhan with a solemn expression.

"But I think that half-elf bastard should not be a subordinate of the main messenger of all this."

"Oh? Why?"

Hearing this, Nadia immediately had doubts. To be honest, many people, including her, thought that the half-elf must have something to do with the changes that happened here. Because of this, after hearing Carter's words,

After the explanation, many people, including Nadia, were stunned. Batty, who was walking next to him, even frowned and stared at him strangely.

"How is this possible? Mr. Carter, the half-elf chose this time to attack, and it must be to kill us completely. And... didn't he also summon a lot of monsters?"

"That's a monster, and it's nothing like the monster we met."

In response to Batty's question, Carter shrugged.

"And before you arrived, we had a battle with those monsters. At that time, those monsters killed everyone they saw. There were even a few monsters who went to find trouble for the half-elf bastard. If the other party

If they were a group, then those monsters shouldn't attack that bastard at all. But......"

After saying this, Carter frowned and looked at the girl walking quietly beside Zhan.

"...Is that the girl we are looking for? But she looks like..."

"We don't know what happened."

Of course Nadia knew what Carter wanted to say. In fact, she was also confused deep in her heart at this moment. But now that it was like this, there was nothing she could do. Now she could only wait until she returned to the temple and asked Knight Commander Johnson

Report everything that happened here, and then see what Knight Commander Johnson's judgment is. Although she herself felt that this girl did not look like a saint, she also knew the orders of the Central Bishops. It was obviously impossible for the other party to pay attention to it.

An ordinary girl, then it means that there must be some kind of secret hidden in this girl that even she herself does not know.

Although they were doubtful in their hearts, everyone did not stop because of this. According to Zhan En, he could only maintain the shadow passage for a short period of time. Fortunately, the time flow in the shadow plane is different from that in the main plane, so even if

They escaped from the shadow plane, and it was impossible for Noan and the others to catch up immediately.

But this does not mean that they can stay safe and sound in the shadow plane. In fact, everyone has seen something lurking behind those dark shadows more than once - they don't know what it is, and they don't want to know what it is.

What. If Zhan hadn't possessed the Shadow Moon Sword, an artifact from the shadow plane, and suppressed those shadow monsters to a certain extent, then I'm afraid they would have faced the same troublesome situation as when they fought against the demons.

But it's not necessarily much better now.

"Attention everyone, right in front!!"

At this time, Zhan En's voice sounded, and then everyone saw him raising the Shadow Moon Sword in his hand high and swiping forward. Then they saw the direction of his sword slashing, which was originally filled with shadows.

A gap suddenly appeared in the world, and a dazzling white light emerged from it, guiding everyone's path like a beacon. Then they saw Zhan and Favna jumping into the white gap without hesitation.

. Seeing this scene, others immediately followed and poured into it.

The dazzling light filled everyone's sight for an instant, and when the light faded, they found themselves standing at the entrance of the previous secret passage. And behind them, the original underground cavity was already filled with flames, thick and dense.

There was smoke billowing, and screams and explosions could still be heard faintly.

"It seems our half-elf friends have been given a rather warm reception."

Glancing at the underground hollow, Zhan sneered, and then spoke. Of course he knew what happened there. In fact, when Zhan entered the shadow plane, he had already commanded all the chaos in the entire underground hollow through mental manipulation.

All the monsters are looking for trouble with Nuo An. And now it seems that the two sides are fighting in full swing.

Thinking of this, Zhan En waved his hands to everyone.
