Two dark figures were moving rapidly in the mountains and forests.
One chased, the other fled.
The figure in front was dressed in a black robe, completely covered by a large black hooded garment, and wore a black mask, making it impossible to discern its appearance or gender.
The next figure to follow was dressed in the robes of a white death god and carried a huge silver scythe—it was none other than Lin Nai.
"Divine Technique - Ghost Step!"
Lin Nai used his divine power to drive the Ghost Step, and with the speed boost from the White Death Robe, he pushed his speed to the limit!
With ghostly speed and agility, he swiftly traversed the complex mountainous terrain and quickly caught up with the black-robed masked man!
Seeing Lin Nai land in front of him, the man in the black robe and mask had no choice but to stop.
"It seems my suspicions were indeed correct."
Lin Nai looked at the black-robed, masked man in front of him and said slowly, "I found this incident of leakage of other-dimensional energy very strange from the very beginning."
"How could such a cautious conglomerate like Gene Company make such a basic mistake and so easily leave evidence for the Night Watch to use against them?"
"You think you can kill someone and cover it up without anyone noticing, is that it?"
The masked man in black robes remained silent.
Linnai carefully examined the black-robed, masked man. He was dressed entirely in black, and the mask on his face was pure black, without even a hole to show his eyes. It was truly a mystery how he could see the road ahead.
Since he couldn't see his eyes, Linnai couldn't scan his iris through the system to view his system attributes.
"What, are you planning to play dumb and not say anything?" Lin Nai held Bai Ye, and soul power gradually surged from his body: "Take off your mask, let's have a chat?"
“Heh, Linnaeus, Carlos’s apostle…” the black-robed masked man finally spoke: “You seem to be a little smarter than I thought… but not that smart. We didn’t try to capture you, yet you still dared to chase after us. You’re really courting death.”
Lin Nai narrowed her eyes. The black-robed, masked man spoke in a strange, demonic voice, completely unreadable in tone, and it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female.
"Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I might as well take you back with me," the masked man in black robes sneered. He slowly raised his hand, and an invisible energy gathered in it.
"Then let's see if you have the ability," Lin Nai said coldly, gripping Bai Ye tightly.
"Heh, a level 3 apostle who just won the national freshman competition, he's only a newcomer. Does he think he's invincible?"
The masked man in black robes spoke with disdain. He finished speaking, and with a swift movement, he attacked!
An incredibly powerful force surged forth from his body!
A surge of powerful, shadowy energy spread out in all directions!
The dark shadows almost instantly enveloped the entire forest!
Linnaeus's pupils suddenly contracted.
Level 10...
And he's... an Apostle!?
The terrifying power of the Shadow Realm swept over Linnai like a tidal wave!
Lin Nai dared not be negligent and immediately unleashed his divine power to fight back!
"Divine Art - Silver Moon Slash!"
Buzz!
Clang—!
The two clashed head-on. The black-robed, masked man did not use any weapons, but the power of the shadowy figure overwhelmed Linnai, making it impossible for him to breathe!
Both are forms of shadow power, but the shadow power controlled by the black-robed, masked man is like the difference between a college student and a child compared to that of the white-robed man...
Those shadowy figures were like sharp swords, or heavy hammers.
Lin Nai raised Bai Ye to block, but only felt a heavy blow to his chest from the shadowy force, and immediately let out a muffled groan.
The withered leaves on the ground were swept up and flew by the strong wind!
The black-robed, masked man stood motionless, but the immense force of the shadow's impact propelled Linnai backward more than ten meters.
"Click!"
Only after Bai Ye was planted in the ground could Lin Nai barely steady herself.
However, Lin Nai's eyes did not change at all. The moment he steadied himself, he immediately drew a black divine power musket from his waist. His hand holding the gun did not tremble at all. He raised it, pointed the muzzle at the black-robed masked man, and then pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out!
Compared to the frenzied roar of the Thunder Dragon, the voice of the Soul Chaser was much more muffled.
A black beam of light shot out at lightning speed!
The masked man in the black robe seemed surprised that Linnai could still fire a gun the moment he was knocked away.
However, he reacted quickly and immediately hid in the world of shadows.
Who would have thought that this black bullet would actually penetrate his shadow world and hit him squarely in the chest!
"Bang...!"
"Well!"
The shot hit, and the masked man in black robes groaned as he was thrown out of the Shadow Realm, staggering backward several steps, clutching his chest where he had been hit, seemingly in great pain.
"Your gun can actually tear through the Shadow Realm?" the black-robed masked man said, bewildered.
Lin Nai gripped the Soul Chaser and smiled: "Guess why this gun is called 'Shadow Hunter'?"
"..." The black-robed masked man was silent for a moment, then carefully examined the musket-shaped gun in Lin Nai's hand and said, "I see. This is the national championship prize, the national treasure—Shadow Hunter: Soul Chaser?"
"Click"
Linna did not respond; his thumb once again engaged the safety pin on the end of the Soul Chaser.
A trickle of blood slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth, which he immediately wiped away with the back of his hand.
