Chapter 236: Magic is the only way



Zhou Yuan snorted and walked over to the crucible knight.

A sword appeared in his hand and was ready to attack.

The crucible knight was still walking quietly while taking cover behind his shield.

Zhou Yuan needed extra focus to sense the crucible knight's aura. This place was so dark that he couldn't even see through it.

He moved forward swiftly as he drew his sword.

Clank!

Unfortunately, his sword hit the shield so the attack was blocked.

The crucible knight didn't miss the chance. It raised its sword and swung it forward.

Zhou Yuan stepped back swiftly so that the crucible knight's attack would not hit him.

But he heard the sound of a sword swing again.

He was forced to take several steps to avoid the crucible knight's attack.

At this moment, he was a little far away from it, he could feel it.

Zhou Yuan was completely confused. In this place, he couldn't bring out his supernatural power or a portion of his inner power as if it was blocked in this place.

What he could do was strengthen his senses only.

At this moment, he didn't even know what the crucible knight would do next.

His ears twitched slightly, sensing movement.

And sure enough, in just a split second a sword almost stabbed his heart.

Luckily he was able to dodge.

"Tch, whatever. I'll be more serious from now on."

Zhou Yuan gripped the fire-breathing sword tightly and slashed forward.

Clank!

The sound of clanging swords rang out, and Zhou Yuan's attack was blocked by the crucible knight.

Zhou Yuan did not stop there, he attacked again and again.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

Zhou Yuan only attacked without knowing the rhythm of the fight. It's embarrassing when you have the natural elemental power of darkness, but you have a hard time-fighting in a dark place.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

All of Zhou Yuan's attacks were easily blocked by the crucible knight.

At this time, the sound of clashing swords could no longer be heard. Zhou Yuan frowned when he realized that his slash only hit the air.

He became serious and looked right and left to sense the crucible knight's aura.

At this moment, his eyes widened as he realized something.

Something big and long was coming towards him.

Bang!

Then, he jumped up.

"Thousand years sword!"

Clink!

Hundreds of swords appeared from above and rained down upon the crucible knight so that it needed to take cover behind its shield.

The rain of swords lasted for 10 seconds. And now, it was completely disappeared.

Zhou Yuan did not stop, in mid-air, that fire-breathing sword turned into a Giant and long sword with blue energy.

"Moonveil!"

He drew the magic greatsword towards the crucible knight.

The Crucible Knight immediately raised his shield to block the attack.

Stab!

Too bad the shield couldn't block the attack so the magic greatsword penetrated the shield deep into its armor.

"Moon explosions!"

Boom!

The greatsword exploded with blue energy and flames blazed across the ground.

Zhou Yuan landed on the ground smoothly as he looked forward calmly.

It took a few seconds for the flames to completely die out, the temporary light was also gone, replaced by boundless darkness again.

[You killed a crucible knight]

[Congratulations, you got the darkness fragment]

After that, a stone with a sharp point appeared in Zhou Yuan's hand.

"What's this?" Asked Zhou Yuan.

[...]

No response from the system.

Whoosh!

The pointed stone suddenly shook, absorbing all the darkness in this place like black smoke.

Zhou Yuan gripped the stone tightly, this pressure was so heavy that his hands went numb.

Light began to appear and the darkness faded away.

Whoosh!

The stone was still absorbing the darkness and Zhou Yuan was sweating profusely as he knelt in pain.

Zhou Yuan's pupils also turned pitch black and the veins on his arms also darkened.

Zhou Yuan could not endure this pain and in the end, collapsed on the ground unconscious.

.........

Don't know how much time passed.

Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes and saw the rooftops with the morning sun shining on his face.

He immediately came to his senses and sat up.

"Where am I?"

He looked right and left and did not recognize this place.

"You're home, honey."
