142 Chapter 134 - Still Past Arc.

"I am Ying Mo, the deity of shadows. I can't believe that you actually successfully landed an attack on me while I'm in the shadow, this Kingdom thingy isn't just some random trash can huh? But that will be the last time you can hit me." said the man with beard. Then he 'sunk' back into the shadow again.

The newly promoted White Knight is now in a highly alert mode as his enemy had hidden his own presence even more tighter than before, it's almost impossible to trace his movements at the current state. Suddenly some long shadow hands emerged out from the shadow at an unguarded area, strangled and pinned Lex to the wall.

"See? I told you so. I'm one with the shadows and darkness. I'm not anyone that a wimp like you can compete at, just give up." said Ying Mo who had emerged half of his body out of the shadow.

"Really?... I guess... You should look at your surroundings..." said Lex while getting strangled even tighter on his neck.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The shadow that Ying Mo hid in is circled packly by a whole row of electric sparks, a single movement might trigger the sparks and caused a serious electric shock. This indicates that Ying Mo is not able to move in between nor emerged into the shadow anymore.

"Ah... You are smarter than how you look like, I guess I will just finish you off first." said Ying Mo.

"Let's give it a try then." said Lex.

Without any warning, Lex's abdomen gets pierced through by a pair of sharp spikes that emerged from the wall behind of him.

"I told you I'm one with the shadow, you can't just keep me trapped with that boring trick of yours." said Ying Mo, with a haughty disdain.

"Ah... I really don't want to do this in the first week of my promotion, but I guess I have no choice at this moment." said Lex.

Then, all the lighting equipment in the building (?) glows into eyes piercing brightness and burst, the whole building turned into a pure darkness within seconds.

"Huh? What are you trying to do again this time? Trying to 'remove' the shadows by removing all the lights? Hahaha! It's useless, pure darkness is just a wider form of shadow, and I could move even more freely in this kind of environment." said Ying Mo.

"Is that so?" This question is not from Lex but the other person's voice, it's Terence.

All of a sudden, Ying Mo found out that he is unable to move his own body, as if he had been sealed in solid concrete.

"You said you are one with the shadow and darkness, but too bad to inform you that... I am the darkness, and I'm definitely not one with you." said Terence.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Care to explain why are your people been found in our place?" said the King with an icy cold glare while his eyes glow in golden, and thus, the 'negotiations' had turned into a real single-sided massacre... Well, almost, if the Celestial Emperor and the other senior deities didn't kneel down and apologize.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After this incident, the title of 'Dark Prince' had once again emerged to the surface, this time as a compliment. Almost all of them thought this title was originally given to Terence because his overpowered dark type of magic, the reason it was not widely used was that Terence wants to stay low key. In their opinion, someone will such a capability deserves to be praised, and so they decided to use it widely again.

While Lex who knows the truth found that it's actually quite interesting how a mocking nickname could be turned into a praising title, and so he decided to keep the truth for himself as he believed that's what Terence hoped for as well.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to the present.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"And so, that's how Te-chan gets the title of Dark Prince." said Athena. "I see... So it's really because of his dark magic after all." said Xenoo. Yes, obviously they didn't get the truth.

"Anyway, I have a mission for Codie. Xenoo, you will be guiding him for his first mission. I'll send you a detail later." said Sal while secretly gives Xenoo some mysterious hand signal.

Xenoo nodded before leading Codie out of the office.

"Sal kun, Sal kun, are you sure it's okay to let baka Xeno to do that?" said Athena while sticking really near to Sal.

"Well, he is the best candidate for this job, and Terence trusts him a lot, so we should trust him as well... Although not so dependable most of the time." said Sal.

Outside the office.

"Ah~~ I really thought it's because of his skin color, you know, it will be really funny if it's that way." said Codie, still acting quite rude even after getting reprimand by Sal earlier, however, Xenoo who was supposed to be angry did not give any reaction to Codie's attitude...

**again, I need to clarify that, I hate discrimination.
