Becoming a Shadow in the New World

As Claire's Blood Explosion destroyed the magical artifacts on Raisa's body, causing the tablet screen to go black, and since she didn't hear the elimination announcements for either of them, Raive quickly came to the same conclusion as Rias and decided to go out and check the situation. She didn't intend to eliminate Rias herself; she had no interest in fighting.

They quickly found Claire lying on the ground, followed closely by Sid, who was slowly moving in a certain direction, his body swaying but his steps firm, his eyes flashing with hatred and revealing murderous intent.

Startled by Sid's state and fearing he might be another Claire, Ravir could only follow far behind and watch Sid brutally beat her brother.

Just as Raisa collapsed completely, before he could even gather his thoughts, the other dimension suddenly began to shake violently. The magic spell was destroyed, and the surging magic power sent Sid flying. Raivel had no choice but to grab Rias and Raisa in mid-air and escape the scene.

Carrying two people in her arms, she dodged the exploding waves of magical energy. Powerful magical energy would occasionally break through the barrier at the edge of the alternate dimension, attacking her from above and below. Levi quickly became exhausted.

Fortunately, the magic stored underground in the alternate dimension was quickly exhausted due to such waste, and the magic attacks from outside the alternate dimension also stopped, allowing her to catch her breath.

Looking at the empty, dark sky, Levi's head began to ache.

The sky in the underworld is dark purple. The dark purple sky in the other dimension was actually the skylight of the underworld shining into the other dimension through the skylight of the venue.

She wasn't stupid; by observing the changed color of the sky in the alternate dimension, she had already guessed that the alternate dimension had been spatially transferred and was no longer in the underworld.

Now she just wants to know whether only the alternate dimension was transferred, or whether the alternate dimension was transferred along with the Underworld venue.

The former is not a big problem, which means that the person who transferred them is not strong enough, and they will be rescued soon.

The latter is a much bigger problem. Transferring so many powerful individuals at once indicates that the other side has grand ambitions, and these individuals are merely pawns in their scheme.

A series of footsteps interrupted Rachel's thoughts. She turned her head toward the sound of footsteps and saw Sid's blood-stained figure, with blood constantly gushing from his wounds, running wildly toward her.

Seeing Sid's frantic behavior, Rachel froze, her cherry lips slightly parted. In her daze, Sid's figure drew closer and closer to her.

From a distance, Ravelle saw Sid's mouth opening and closing, as if he were saying something.

"Get out of my way?"

Why should we move aside?

After understanding the lip movements, I was still puzzled. A gust of wind came from behind me, and I subconsciously turned around.

A purple magic bullet, just inches away from her, caught her eye and made her eyes widen.

When... will I die! I'll die! I'll die!

Before the questions in her heart could even be voiced, a premonition of death had already enveloped Levi's soul. The precision of this purple magic bullet had exceeded the resurrection limit of her phoenix bloodline; if she were hit... she would die.

For the first time, experiencing the fear of death, Levi was stunned. Her body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, unable to move. She tried with all her might to flap the fiery wings behind her, but she had even forgotten how to use magic. She could only watch helplessly as the magic bullet got closer and closer to her.

"Stay out of the way!"

An angry voice came from his mouth as Sid shoved the stunned Levi aside and tried his best to turn to the side so that his body would be hit by all the magic bullets.

Excellent, my Shadow Warrior plan is indeed perfect.

"Guwa!"

Enduring excruciating pain as he was shattered to pieces, he was struck by a magic bullet and sent flying to the ground. As he watched his mangled body cough up a mouthful of blood, Sid had only one thought in his mind.

As the life force transmitted by the peace token was completely depleted by the suddenly aggravated injuries, another spell inside the demon chess piece was activated, and a continuous stream of life force and magic power surged out from the demon chess piece.

With a final burst of energy, he manipulated the magic within, transforming it into destructive power, and then violently impacted his own body. His body, which had begun to heal, was damaged again, but the continuous infusion of life force caused the damaged parts to regrow.

In this simultaneous process of destruction and rebirth, the parts damaged by the destructive magic begin to undergo subtle changes during the rebirth process. The body is attempting to evolve properties that make it immune to destructive magic. And what follows is of utmost importance...

Rejection, rejection, rejection...

Immunity, immunity...

Rejection, rejection, rejection...

immunity……

Rejection, rejection, rejection...

Rejection...

Reason took control of the body's instincts, and evolution temporarily stopped, with immunity degenerating into rejection. Although this was only temporary, it would evolve back into immune characteristics after a few more times.

But it doesn't matter anymore. The "Rejection of Destruction Magic Physique" was created later, so anything with destruction magic will be immediately expelled from his body.

Because the conversion ritual was interrupted, the constitution that was never suitable for converting demons mutated, making it impossible to restart the conversion ritual. What a normal, flawless reason! Hahaha!!!

It's quite rare to be injured so badly this time. But there's nothing I can do; the enemy this time was indeed stronger than usual...

The bone dragon was just a little too hot to handle, which in a way gave me a refreshing feeling.

Does the disgust I feel from the worms and white fur on the rotten dragon count as a psychological attack?

Aside from a slight numbness in his hand from the initial collision, the Great Red ran away.

Leisa... I feel like mentioning him is a bit disrespectful to those three dragons. So how did I get this injury?

Feeling utterly powerless, Sid, who was lying on the ground lost in thought, suddenly fell silent.

Let me think, the first thing was because Leisa suddenly attacked me, and since I didn't have a blood pack, I had to unleash a magical explosion inside my body.

The second time was when he realized that the fatal wound had become fatal if left untreated, so in order to catch up with the battle, he gave himself another shot and entered a state of dying embers.

The third blow came when I deliberately dispersed my magic and took a direct hit from the magic attack emanating from the magic bullets in my Underworld Arena.

...The losing team's MVP was myself!!!

Before he passed out, Sid came to this conclusion.

In the lower realm of the underworld, Cao Cao, holding the Holy Spear, looked at the scene in the mirror before him—the underworld venue floating in the dimensional gap—as it descended into the underworld. He tapped his shoulder with the Holy Spear and spoke to Hades, who was also looking at the mirror beside him.

"Old Master Hades, we have done what you wanted to see. Are you satisfied with this ending?"

"If I say I'm satisfied, they haven't suffered much loss in the end; if I say I'm not satisfied, I'm happy to see this scene."

"So... what else does Old Master Hades want?"

Having discerned the meaning in Hades' sinister voice, Cao Cao directly pointed out Hades's intentions.

"Infinite power."

“Okay, then we’ll take Samael with us.”

"Please."

Cao Cao called out to Geork beside him and then got up and left. During this time, Hades kept his eyes on the Holy Lance in Cao Cao's hand, which was always in an unfolded state. The holy light pierced through the black mist that filled the surroundings and lit up the underworld.

"There's no chance..."

Hades only spoke softly after Cao Cao left.

"Is the Shadow the surprise the teacher mentioned? It is indeed quite surprising, but we haven't seen a single glimpse of it. We need to prepare to be enemies with the Shadow."

Upon exiting the underworld, Cao Cao immediately began to complain to the various Orks.

"And that nasty Hades, I'll take him down one of those days."

"Cao Cao, news has come from Siegfried's side."

Ignoring Cao Cao's complaints, Geork brought up another piece of information.

"what news?"

"Wally attacked them, wounding Hercules and Joan of Arc, and then took Orpheus away."

Upon hearing Geork's voice, Cao Cao stopped and turned around with a surprised expression.

"How dare they?"

Georg shrugged nonchalantly; he was also curious about how WALL-E dared to do that.

Cao Cao tapped his shoulder with his holy spear again, turned around, and moved in a different direction, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Also, Leonardo got his hands on the flesh and blood of the Great Red. He said he could do it, but it would require infinite power to fill it."

Georg continued talking about intelligence.

"That's good news, but Orpheus has already been taken away. Where are Wally and the others now?"

The fact that Cao Cao uttered a sound devoid of joy only intensified his murderous intent.

"They attacked Loki in Northern Europe and stole Fenrir. Now they've attacked Siegfried and taken Orpheus. After that, they should be flying east, probably to join Azazel."

“No, I invited him before. WALL-E isn’t that kind of person, and he hasn’t officially acted as part of the Beast of Calamity yet, so Azazel doesn’t know he’s joined us. He’s probably still looking for something.”

After clearing his mind, Cao Cao instructed Geork to set up a teleportation array, with the destination being the island nation.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

"By the way, although I'm curious how you knew that, we've found the technology that you asked us about last time, Li Zevm. Do you still want it?"

"You Netherland has this technology? Let me see... It's so expensive! Why don't you just rob us?"

"What you're saying is, is robbery faster than selling weapons?"

Moreover, most of these technologies were personally developed by our Lord of Netheril, and the remaining small portion was provided by the Mikoto Trading Company. The high price... is to be expected.

"Don't forget, this incident was started by us, the Bane of Calamity, together with you, Ner'serials. Isn't it unfair to treat your own allies like this?"

"Hey hey hey... Don't slander us. We only accepted the Underworld's invitation because we were interested in seeing some gossip. Later, it was because the Underworld went crazy and we didn't have a strong enough person to control the situation, so we didn't send anyone over."

"We were unaware of the simultaneous attacks launched by the Bane's Legion against various pantheons, and didn't your Legion also steal a batch of weapons from Netheril? In short... your Legion has nothing to do with Netheril. Just tell us if you're going to buy or not. If not, that's fine."
