Chapter 1412 Anno's Weakness - Liz
The KGB team could see the outline of World City from afar, and even before they arrived, they knew that the second generation and the Shadow were fighting again.
During this period, the two would frequently appear suddenly on a battlefield to fight, and then move to another battlefield and disappear from everyone's sight.
No one noticed anything unusual about this, after all, the Shadow Demon was also a second-generation being, and the ability to silently turn the three great god kings into summoned creatures meant that its strength was probably only second to the second generation.
However, when the gods arrived, they saw the divine tree hanging upside down in the void amidst the chaos of the battlefield, and strange fluctuations emanating from it.
"What is that?"
Everyone, including the KGB, was involuntarily drawn to this strange phenomenon.
"The strange phenomenon just appeared in the sky, and then the Second Hokage started fighting the Shadow Demon. And there's this strange tree on the battlefield. Both the Second Hokage's summoned army and the Shadow Demon's insectoid army avoid this tree during the battle. Could all the strange phenomena we've seen before be related to this tree?"
The KGB had barely formed a suspicion when they were drawn into the Zerg conflict because they were too close to the battlefield.
The others also joined the battle one after another.
However, everyone rushed over to join the battle.
This is Angomulos, the stronghold of the second generation.
The Demon Shadow has already fought his way here. As the Second Generation's subordinate, are you just supposed to stand by and watch the Second Generation fight on his own?
But despite the battle, everyone was aware of their own limitations.
They absolutely dared not get involved in the battle between the second generation, the Shadow Demon, and several god-king level summoned creatures.
"This guy has mastered so many powerful divine skills again!"
Anno glanced down at his severed arm, which was recovering in the white moonlight, and frowned as he looked at the demonic figure opposite him who was being healed by the Elemental Spirit Tree.
After a period of fighting, neither side could gain the upper hand.
Anno glanced back at the divine tree rooted in the void, sensing the magic corridor above gradually weakening, and his eyes turned red.
We've been running this business for so long and paid such a high price.
"I can't stop here at the last moment!" Anno transformed his demonic sword into a cannon and blasted it towards the distant shadow, simultaneously ordering, "Summon the legion! Annihilate the demonic shadow at all costs!"
The already frenzied Summoning Legion became even more frenzied upon hearing Anno's command.
Countless figures rushed toward the location of the bombarded demonic shadow.
However, an invisible sword beam shot out in all directions from the center of the demonic shadow.
Not only was Anno's cannonball cut in half midway, but even the nearby summoned creatures were all shredded into pieces.
Whoosh!
A long sword flew out from the void, pointing straight at Anno's back.
Anno sensed the longsword immediately, and the cannon sword in his hand instantly transformed into a chain sword, which circled in the air and wrapped around the longsword from behind.
However, the shadowy figure suddenly appeared next to the longsword, gripped the hilt and forcefully slashed the chain sword away, sending it flying in a spiral shape in the air.
Meanwhile, the shadow rushed toward Anno from the center of the spiral.
Pfft!
A stream of blood spurted from Anno's chest.
But the tip of the chain sword pierced the shadow's back like a scorpion's stinger in the next second.
While both were injured, they quickly dodged to prevent their injuries from worsening, but the ensuing fierce battle caused their injuries to increase rapidly.
The fact that the Divine Tree seemed to be hiding in a higher dimension worried not only Anno but also the Shadow Demon.
The two now have only one main objective: to kill each other, even if it means being severely injured.
Souls erupted from both of them simultaneously, and Anno's [Double Black and White Twin Dragon Flash] clashed with Demon Shadow's [Black and White Gale Slash]!
The former, consisting of four dragons—two large and two small—entangled together, charged forward with terrifying power.
The latter was a tornado formed by countless black and white flashes, carrying an aura of destruction as it collided with the dragon flash.
Boom!
Amid the explosion, the two of them braved the spreading energy, ignoring the blood gushing from their torn wounds and the constant spitting of blood from their mouths, and headed towards the divine tree.
Amidst the raging energy, Anno was originally closer to the divine tree.
But he suddenly sensed an even more violent energy coming from the side.
They still have the strength to attack?
As they gasped in astonishment, the blood-soaked demon, still in a sword-drawing stance, rushed to Anno's side.
"The final move, [Dead Soul Invasion]!"
Clang!
The shadowy figure's longsword, radiating black light, was blocked by the demonic sword that Anno held horizontally in front of him.
The energy collision that Anno had imagined did not emanate from the Shadow Demon's longsword.
However, Anno suddenly heard a heart-wrenching scream from the sword spirit of the demonic sword in his hand, Lis.
Anno immediately realized the problem and looked at the long sword in the demon's hand.
At this moment, the spot where the demonic sword and the longsword touched was stained black!
"Hehe, this move is for dealing with Liz!"
A chilling voice came from the shadowy figure, followed by the wails of vengeful spirits emanating from his body, and the black light on his longsword intensified.
Liz seemed to have met her nemesis, screaming repeatedly as her soul energy rapidly weakened.
Does Anno have any weaknesses in combat?
The Shadow knew it existed, but the true form possessing the [Sacrifice to Gods] must have already turned its weaknesses into strengths for others.
Furthermore, the main body had somehow comprehended some strange skill, seemingly possessing the ability to make summoned creatures die in place of him—the Shadow Demon had already guessed this when Anno used the power of the king.
Even if one's shadow possesses powerful combat skills, it's not certain that it will gain the upper hand in a battle against the true form that possesses the [Sacrifice to the Gods].
However, while Anno may have no weaknesses in combat, Shadow knows that Anno has a fatal weakness in other areas—Liss!
Liz died on the battlefield because of Anno's decision, and she died right in front of Anno.
That heart-wrenching feeling made Anno's desire to resurrect Liss an obsession.
Although Liz, who had become a sword spirit, was restored to her protection by [Origin], she seemed no different from Liz.
But she has no memories of her past, no body that truly belongs to her; she is ultimately just a "fake."
Now, the original body is willing to deceive the entire world in order to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, with the aim of truly resurrecting Liz.
"You bastard!"
Hearing Liz's screams, Anno nearly ground his teeth to dust and hurriedly withdrew his magic sword.
Pfft!
The black blade struck Anno's neck and shoulder, and as the power of the demonic shadow increased, it cut through the outer armor, the blade sinking into flesh and continuing to penetrate deeper.
However, Anno didn't stop the knife because he had other things to do.
Gurgle~!
Anno's hand plunged directly into the Shadow's abdomen. With an angry roar, his left hand stirred inside, found the Shadow's heart, and squeezed it hard.
