7. Shadow Blade
"It's just a practice, don't be serious."
Luminas changed into a light armor. In the closed arena of Dark Furnace City, she was moving her wrists, and two black rune swords were spinning in her hands. She looked at Terion, who was wearing hunting suits and holding the Ashes Messenger in her hand, and the Lord of Death was a little afraid:
"And no matter whether you win or lose, you have to promise me to go to Gilness."
"Help me see how good this sword is..."
Terion answered the question:
"Of course, no matter whether you win or lose, you can go to Gilness, as long as... I can control the ability of this sword intact. You have to know, Lumi, every legendary weapon has its own ability, and I know nothing about this sword... So pray, I hope the ability of this sword is not annihilation of all things..."
Seeing that there was a hint of retreat in Luminas's eyes, the King of the Dark Blade shrugged, and the black sword shook out. He whispered in the howling sound of the wind breaking,
"Just just a joke, no matter how powerful a legendary weapon is, it has its limits... The annihilation of all things is not the power that mortals like you and me should master."
As he spoke, Terion's figure suddenly became dazed, like a shadow drifting away. Seeing this scene, Luminas intertwined the sword in front of him without saying a word.
"Clang"
The huge force came, and the Death Lord's right foot took a step back, and the bricks and stones under her feet shattered, but she gritted her teeth and blocked the attack, while Terion frowned, as if he was not satisfied with the attack. He flashed back to the place where he was standing just now, stretched out his hand, stroked the cold sword blade, and felt the power surged in the sword when he was slashing just now.
"Are you okay?"
Luminas moved his wrists and looked at Terion. After a moment, the latter nodded and his figure suddenly disappeared. This time, Luminas was prepared. The long sword in his left hand held the chopped heavy sword, flipped his wrist to remove the power. Just as the heavy sword was tilted to his side, a low force echoed in the body of the Ashes Messenger's sword, which made Terion narrow his eyes.
"left!"
He suddenly reminded that Luminas subconsciously flipped up the sword of his other hand and blocked the empty left side.
"Swish"
The black invisible blade suddenly broke through the space, like a heavy sword that was uncontrollable, like the trace of the knife that Terion had just cut down, quietly slashing towards the Lord of Death. The blade made of energy collided on Luminas's blade and then suddenly dissipated.
"This power...is not right."
Lumi looked back at Terion: "Only one-third of your normal strength? So much weakened?"
"No! That's not the energy blade I simulated, Lumi."
Terion suddenly realized and knocked on the sharp blade in his hand, saying to Luminas:
"I know the ability of this sword, simulation and counterattack... This is a Shadow Blade."
"Uh...it sounds completely less cool than Apocalypse's Soul-Devouring."
Luminas shook his weapon and complained a little, which caused Terion to shake his head. He held the heavy sword in both hands. Between the black blade flipped, the shadow of the sharp blade simulated by the darkness appeared on the traces of the blade. It looked very fantastic. Terion moved his shoulders and said to the death lord in front of him:
"This ability is much stronger than the evil taste of Apocalypse... Let's try it and be prepared!"
"Swish"
Luminas also became interested. The two black swords spread out to both sides of their bodies like butterfly wings. The fiery red hair was floating. Her slender figure jumped up from the ground. A heavy frost storm wrapped around her body. When her body turned, the two swords slashed at Terion's neck interlaced.
"Clang"
When the weapons collided, Terion shook his body, swung his arm, and threw Luminas away. When he fought with his subordinates, the King of the Dark Blade would definitely not use all his strength. He maintained his strength at the same level as Luminas. In a flash, the two of them fought together like a jumping shadow.
"Bang"
When the weapon was colliding, Terion's eyes lit up and he withdrew his sword. The next moment, a black energy blade appeared behind Luminas and silently slashed towards the back of the death lord, but Luminas didn't care. She rushed forward, and the dark green anti-magic shield wrapped around her body, trying to block the attack behind her.
"A mere third of the power...wait!"
When Luminas felt something was wrong, the energy blade behind her had quietly broken through her anti-magic shield, which was absolutely more than one-third of the force. She was rushing to lower her lower body and rolled out on the ground, avoiding the attack, and the scattered dark energy also made a deep cut on the ground.
"So cunning! It turns out that you can control your strength!"
Lumi shook her hair, and used force to rush towards Terion again. The King of the Dark Blade shook his head. He no longer defended, but started an extremely fast attack with Luminas. The sound of the sword collision was like heavy rain hitting the banana. With this frequency of sword swing, the Phantom Blade appeared more frequently. Luminas only persisted for 15 seconds and felt that he could not hold it.
How come this is a one-on-one challenge?
It was clearly several Tyreons besieging her, and the erratic Phantom Blade with erratic force and trajectory made her very imposing. She took a step back and planned to evacuate the battle circle, but Tyreon did not let her go so easily. The bricks and stones under the feet of the King of the Dark Blade were broken, and his figure swept through the air, holding the sharp blade with both hands, and a powerful slash hit the Lord of Death in front of him.
"Clang"
Luminas intersected the swords, the stones under her feet collapsed, and her feet fell under the ground, barely blocking the full-strength attack that suppressed the power, but the attack was not over yet. The moment Terion took a step back, nine phantom blades that were exactly the same as the Ashes Messenger appeared at all angles around her body. The silent attack enveloped every inch of Luminas' dodging space.
The frost rune broke in the hands of the Death Lord. At this moment, the blood in her body was frozen, and thick frost condensed on the surface of her body, which instantly increased her defense to the highest level.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang"
The Phantom Blade had no sound, but the sword blade cut through the ice frost and made a sound. At the moment when the black blade dissipated, the ice cubes in Luminas's body were shattered, and between the ice chips, there were cut wounds on her shoulders, arms and legs.
"Hiss...it hurts!"
Luminas threw away her rune sword, and she looked at Terion with complaint:
“Didn’t you say it’s easy to practice?”
"It's not my fault..."
Terion put the black heavy sword in front of him, knocked on the cold blade, and glanced at Luminas again:
"It was you who mocked it first that it was worse than apocalypse... It just gave you a small "learning."
Seeing the sword being carried back by Terion, a hint of desire flashed in Luminas's red eyes:
"I took back my previous words. The Ashes Messenger is very powerful and deserves the title of legendary weapon. Speaking of which, my Majesty, do you think I may get my own legendary weapon?"
"Well... it's possible! There are too many magical weapons and weapons in Azeroth's history. I know it alone, there are many... among them, which are very suitable for you."
Terion rubbed his chin and looked at the Lord of Death in front of him:
"The premise is that you have to do your own thing well, I will give it to you. After the "Disaster Day" operation is over, and when we are completely idle, I will give you a message... about legendary weapons, and then you have to find it yourself."
"no problem!"
Luminas gestured to Terion with an "ok" gesture. While she was repairing the wound with her death energy, Lumi suddenly raised her head and looked at Terion. She asked in a low voice:
"How is Aurelia lately?"
Hearing this question, Terion's expression dimmed a little:
"It's bad. She regrets her reckless actions. The killings made her unable to rest. You can hear the accountability in your heart by closing your eyes. But... maybe this is her destined test. Every Salein has to go through such a test. I can't help her... But with her sister and brother accompanying her, you don't have to worry about her recent situation."
"What I really want to ask is, have you ever blamed her?"
Luminas asked again, her eyes were beating with a woman's gossip:
"She rushed into the enemy camp so recklessly, almost causing trouble to the entire Anjian Blade. To be honest, have you ever complained about her even a little bit?"
"Interesting question."
Terion smiled, and he sat cross-legged on the ground regardless of the dust on the ground, looking into Luminas' eyes, he whispered:
"Why should I complain? I try my best to guide you, every Lord of Death, to be what you are when you are alive. Everyone has their own obsession. We are different from living people. No matter how much we disguise, some things cannot be changed... We can only live by obsession. I am, and so is Aurelia."
"You also know why she left everything behind and came to me... She was afraid that I would lose control, Lumi, I know this very well. She tried her best to soothe my inner anger. She was worried that one day in the future, I, Terion, the Blade of Dawn, would really become a monster due to the outbreak of negative emotions and dark forces... She could see the threat to the world after I lost control, and she was trying her best to avoid the ending."
"She gave me everything, how could I selfishly ask her to leave her feelings for her relatives?"
The King of the Dark Blade closed his eyes:
"I know I can't get lost. There is a woman watching over me, but for the undead, struggle is just a process, loss is the result. We will eventually return to peaceful eternal silence. Before that, I will pave the way for the Dan Blade... pave the way for me and Aurelia, and for you."
"But you know? Terion."
Luminas brushed her hair, and she sighed like a living person:
"When I stood back with Mela, I felt nothing about revenge. Of course, the hatred of demons playing with our fate is still there, but... it is no longer so strong. I will feel that I am squandering the happiness of dead people, and sometimes, I will feel that my emotions are being erased bit by bit in this calmness and happiness."
The Lord of Death looked up and looked at his king:
"I'm almost lost. When all the emotions disappear, anger, hatred, happiness, joy, and when these disappearances, I will lose myself and return to eternal silence, right?"
Terion nodded silently.
"Once the wish of the dead is fulfilled, it is time for us to be completely free... Your situation is very dangerous now, Lumi, I trapped you in the Black Iron District because of this, but don't worry, I have found the clues of the realm of death, soon... You don't need to worry about this anymore. You will be with Mela forever, just like when we are alive."
"Soon, the destination of the Anblade will appear..."

"Crash"
A large bucket of cold blood wine was poured roughly into the wine glass. Next to the forged anvil deepest in the heart of the melting fire, Magni's bronze beard leaned against the scorching stone. He was drinking the blood wine wildly while observing left and right. After confirming that there was no one, Magni secretly took out a piece of thing wrapped in black cloth from the dark lattice under the iron felt.
He put it in front of him and opened it.
A black halo shone on his face, illuminating his dark blue eyes, and the corners of the black brilliant gem that was cut off.
When forging weapons, it is normal that the raw materials cannot be used. Magney has encountered many such encounters, but this time it is different. He created the Ashes Messenger with his own hands, and he also knows very well what the scraps in his hand can make.
During this period, Magni had studied this weird black gem thoroughly.
"Light and shadow...the brightest light will also be born in the darkest shadow..."
Magni stared at the gem and drank wine in big mouthfuls. After a few minutes, he reached out to hide the scraps of the gem. And the moment he stood up, he suddenly felt the cold air coming from behind. Magni turned his head and saw Terion standing on the iron felt like a ghost, who was looking at him expressionlessly.
"What are you... going to do with these scraps?"
Terion asked, and McGonie subconsciously grabbed the hammer at hand. He realized that the moment of his cursed life might be coming.
But beyond the expectations of the Dwarf King, Terion did not delve into it. Instead, he took out a complex engineering drawing and handed it to McGonie:
"Make a deal, Magnie, help me build this thing..."
