My front door leads to a comic strip

When Gu Yuan arrived at the city gate, he was greeted by the sight of Sha Dun calmly and completely in control.

The scene that had been anticipated—Milly Aldebaran wreaking havoc—did not occur.

He couldn't tell if it was good or bad; after all, if he won, he wouldn't have a chance to play. And catching up with her would take even longer.

She took a deep breath, and the clear sound of her breathing reached Millie Alder's ears.

She instinctively turned her head, and upon seeing who it was, her pupils constricted.

"Gu Yuan, what's wrong with you...?"

She never expected that Gu Yuan would appear here.

The test is over. What were the results?

No, now is not the time to delve into these things. Why did you, a human being with no abilities, come here?

"Oh?"

Sutton also tilted his head slightly to look at the human who had arrived late.

Unsure of the other party's identity, he did not act immediately, but instead scrutinized them from head to toe.

...His senses told him that Gu Yuan's total magical power was zero.

Sutton narrowed his dark eyes.

Is it useless?

It should be known that even the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled in their seventies and eighties possess some degree of magical power.

Thinking of this, he glanced at it indifferently, then looked away with disdain.

He did not believe that Gu Yuan was the murderer who helped Miliald defeat his clone.

Seeing that the time was almost up and the elf could no longer help him improve his strength, Shaton lightly raised his finger, controlled the giant, and charged towards the city wall in front of him.

Rumble—!

The ground groaned under its trampling.

Sutton pondered:

"The only weakness of Shadow Giants at present is that it is not very flexible."

"But to protect those ants, even knowing they are outnumbered, they would still step forward to defend themselves, wouldn't they?"

Anyone who resists will surely die.

If they don't resist, they will still be doomed once they eat those humans and become stronger.

Shaton could already see himself, after evolving, wreaking havoc on the southern continent.

"A weak creature..."

Sure enough, the priest's eyes widened in horror at the sight.

He led the belated clergy and launched a frenzied attack on the Shadow Giant.

The holy light exploded on the giant, but it was like a stone thrown into water, unable to even cause a ripple.

Miliald remained unmoved, because in her eyes, knowing that she was no match for the enemy and still trying to resist was a complete waste of magic.

At this moment, she was more concerned about Gu Yuan's condition. Her gaze swept over the book in his hand, and her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"This is……"

"Elf, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

Sutton's voice suddenly rose, interrupting her thoughts.

With victory and evolution within reach, he could no longer maintain his former composure; his gaze sharpened.

"Tell me, besides you and that monk, who was the third person who killed my clone?"

"Tell me, and I might let you leave more easily; otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Miliearde asked in a cold tone.

She dusted off her clothes, walked over to Gu Yuan, and gestured with her eyes—

"You succeeded? Run! He's no match for you."

Then she raised her voice: "You mere beasts, do you think you can rival us elves just because you've mastered magic?"

She raised her head, her hair flying in the wind.

"Don't joke around. I haven't even used my full strength yet. Gu Yuan, step back a bit."

Gu Yuan was observing Shaton's every move, asking the Holy Scripture if there was a way to deal with him.

Upon hearing the sound, he took a few steps back.

"Further away."

Millie Alde gestured with her eyes, and only nodded slightly after Gu Yuan had retreated thirty meters away.

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, sensing the increasingly intense magical fluctuations in the air.

"The ultimate move?"

This is the only possibility. Although they desperately want to turn the tide, they have no choice but to hold back for now because they don't know Sutton's abilities and trump cards.

Not far away, a seven-story-tall shadow giant is wreaking havoc.

The sound of its punch could be felt hundreds of meters away. The city wall seemed to be made of paper. The gravel grazed his cheek and created obvious deep craters. Gu Yuan's eyelids twitched.

Fortunately, he woke up late; otherwise, even if he had obtained the sacred artifact, he probably wouldn't have stood a chance against this purely physical attack.

this world,

Too dangerous.

……

……

Miliald was born in an elven village on the southern border.

Like most elves, they can gain great strength simply by accumulating a long lifespan.

At over two hundred years old, she would undoubtedly be considered among the strongest by human standards.

However, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

The elves' carefree and lazy nature destined them to be no match for the demons of the same age who were skilled in combat.

Millie Alde's gaze was more solemn than ever before, and all the magic in her body erupted at that moment.

The raging wind blew Gu Yuan, who was deep in thought, back a small step.

In her magical vision, the white aura surrounding her resembled an erupting volcano, shooting straight into the sky and swirling the clouds.

"Oh?" A serious glint flashed in Sutton's eyes. Was he getting serious?

Sure enough, humans, elves, and monsters are not so different; they all fight desperately before they die.

He called himself a beast...

Oh.

Sutton stepped forward, his robes billowing, and his magic erupted in that instant:

"A keen intuition tells me how such a weak and fragile creature as man can be compared to us."

He waved his hand, and the shadows of the surrounding trees and even buildings began to twist and writhe, forming a dark domain around him like a living tide.

This is the third stage of shadow magic, where the shadows of all things can be used for one's own purposes. Originally, he did not intend to use his full strength, but at this moment he changed his mind.

—Battles are only fun when you get serious.

Milie Alde's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

She glanced in Gu Yuan's direction and saw him still standing there. Although she was secretly annoyed that he hadn't listened to her advice, she immediately made the right decision:

"Go all out; even if we can't win, we must create an opportunity to retreat."

She couldn't possibly risk her life here; after all, it's just a human city.

When the magic reached its peak, time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Then--

Boom!

A deafening explosion resounded through the sky, and a blinding white light instantly engulfed everything!

Amidst the deafening explosion, Miliealde was struck by the giant wave and sent flying uncontrollably backward.

She forcefully twisted her body in mid-air, using her remaining magic to cushion the impact, and landed precisely beside Gu Yuan.

He had barely steadied himself when he coughed twice. Ignoring his pain, his icy fingers grabbed his wrist.

then……

run!

The action was taken without hesitation.

Gu Yuan stumbled as she pulled him:

"etc…"

No, why are you running? I can fly!

as predicted.

He had barely finished speaking and had taken a few steps when he saw a dark figure rush out of the dust.

Sutton looked utterly disheveled, floating in the air with his robes tattered and hanging on his body, covered in blood.

—The elf's full-force attack was blocked.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring at the two figures with a cold and ruthless gaze.

run?

Where can you run to without your trump cards?

He slowly raised his hand.

The shadow condensed into a jet-black spear in his palm.
