Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple
Chapter 451 Chapter451-Sealing Shadow
As one of the ten Origin Devils, Shadow, upon being released, instantly drew the attention of everyone from both the Order Faction and the Dark Faction.
Shadow's true form is essentially non-existent.
The form it presented before John was actually a projection from the Dark Realm onto the Order Continent.
Shadow doesn't have a fixed form because it is an incarnation of the dark power from the Dark Realm.
This dark power can exist in any form.
The moment Shadow successfully broke free from the seal, it immediately focused its attention on John.
As one of the ten Origin Devils, it could naturally sense John's hostility towards it.
Moreover, in Shadow's view, no other being around John posed any threat to it except for John himself.
"Mortal, you should not be my enemy. Your power is indeed very strong, but opposing me is utterly foolish. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can grant you immense dark power. The power you currently possess pales in comparison to the power of darkness. Dark power can make you an unbeatable entity!"
Contrary to John's expectations, Shadow did not seem intent on attacking right away but started to try and coax John instead.
However, John naturally would not trust the overtures of a high-ranking demon.
Having just witnessed Karthus's fate, John was acutely aware of the dangers involved.
Karthus, a player from the Dark Faction, was directly possessed by Shadow.
As a player from the Order Faction, how could John possibly cooperate with Shadow?
Moreover, even if John were willing to collaborate with Shadow, he couldn't be certain that the latter wouldn't set a series of traps for him in secret.
Therefore, John's response was straightforward.
He chose to cast two god-level Holy Light spells.
He had refrained from using Holy Light spells against Karthus, as Karthus, being a player, had some resistance to the power of Holy Light.
However, John had no such reservations when facing Shadow, a demon and an embodiment of dark power.
Demons, and especially an entity like Shadow, would have absolutely no resistance to Holy Light.
The Holy Light spells cast by John hit Shadow directly.
The moment the Holy Light spells struck, Shadow's form underwent a dramatic change. Its size swelled by twenty times.
It seemed that Shadow was also deeply fearful of Mystery Saint.
"I don't know what you're referring to with this Mystery Saint. Our Dark Faction doesn't have an enemy by that name."
John naturally did not believe Shadow's response.
He sensed that Shadow must know who or what Mystery Saint was, but chose not to reveal it.
"My second question is, why were you sealed in the devil wand? With your strength, it seems unlikely that you would be subjected to such a fate."
Shadow seemed somewhat angered by John's second question: "The reason I was sealed is because of those powerful beings from your Order Faction. Several strong members of the Order Faction ambushed me when I was unprepared, and when I was gravely injured, they sealed me into the devil wand. They couldn't find a way to completely destroy me, so they resorted to this compromise of sealing. The reason I am proposing cooperation with you is because I believe you have the capability to destroy me."
Shadow's answer was a mix of truth and falsehood.
John was well aware that the previous generation of strong Order Faction members chose to seal Shadow instead of destroying him because they knew that destroying Shadow would only send him back to the Dark Realm.
Allowing such a powerful God-tier Devil to return to the Dark Realm would significantly strengthen its forces.
Shadow's response was intended to mislead John.
If John chose to cooperate with Shadow, that would be acceptable to him.
Even if John decided not to cooperate and instead chose to destroy Shadow, Shadow could use the opportunity to return to the Dark Realm, regain his strength, and come back even more powerful.
After asking these two questions, John didn't hesitate and chose to go all out in his attack.
He wouldn't let Shadow's answers sway his decision.
From the very beginning, John intended to reseal Shadow.
He allowed Shadow to possess Karthus precisely because it would reset Karthus's level to zero.
Facing John's attack, Shadow found it extremely difficult to defend.
While trying to defend himself, he also continuously attempted to persuade John.
Of course, John didn't heed a single word Shadow said.
With his full strength, John didn't take long to successfully reseal Shadow back into the devil wand.
Throughout the battle between John and Shadow, members of both the Order Faction and the Dark Faction were mere spectators.
With John's decisive victory in this high-stakes battle, the members of the Dark Faction fell into disarray.
This was particularly true for the members of the Netherworld Guild brought by Karthus, who immediately chose to flee.
Faced with the Dark Faction members who didn't manage to escape, as well as the demons who had no intention of fleeing, John naturally chose to lead the Order Faction guards around the Defend Wall to quickly eliminate these enemies.
lightsΝοvel John hoped to ensure the complete security of the Defend Wall before returning to Storm City to provide support.
He didn't want to find himself having to return to the Defend Wall in the midst of the battle at Storm City.
