Dexter watched how the black mist seeped into the ground and vanished and then he looked forward.
"I didn't monitor them enough, it seems that they are able to pass through walls," Collins said and the other coven members approached with caution.
"And we don't really know how many they are. So we can just go with the same technique to kill anyone that stands in our way," Dexter said and then Kila agreed with him.
They began to move again through the labyrinth and Collins tracked the correct route over and over again.
Soon, they were close as they began to see the very tall castle in the distance.
"We're close," Jude mumbled and then he looked around.
So far they haven't encountered any shadow and then as they got to a straight path leading to the castle, they were shocked to see three shadows waiting for them in front.
"Ugh... Not these things again. And they're more than one," Kila said in disgust and then Dexter brandished his spear and they all got ready to go and fight.
Jude and Collins lunged forward at such a great speed and their attacks were actually stopped by the shadows.
There was one shadow with a shield and a spear the other one holding a long sword and the third one held two curved swords that looked like katanas.

The third one was slim compared to the rest and it charged towards them with a great speed, leaving a trail of shadows smoke behind.
Dexter focused his eyes on it and then he blocked a strike from the front and then he felt as if he was pushed to the ground by a mountain.
The road in front of them was currently twenty meters wide so it was enough for a battle like this.
Jude and Collins were busy with the one wielding dual blades and then Dexter saw that it was only one that stood in the way which means the third one was within the crowd of shadow soldiers.
*"After I single out the real one, take out the rest."* Dexter said and then his eyes glowed a bright gold and he took a breath.
He could see the real one even if it was within the crowd and he ignored the ones swinging at him lifelessly and went for the one he saw.
'Looks like my class really comes in handy.' he thought as he was able to tell which ones were fake and real.
He was shocked when he saw that the real one turned into a shadow on the ground and moved towards the coven members.
'Don't you dare!' Dexter threw his spear towards it which flames and then the shadow stopped and manifested into a single tall knight and then it turned around to Dexter who dashed towards it with his claws out and then it held its sword in front of it, ready to attack.
Dexter maneuvered around it and grabbed his spear before charging towards it with lightning and fire around him.
The knight waved the sword at him with a very fast speed, comparable to the one that wielded dual blades.
Dexter immediately felt that he lacked strength to face it head on as his hands felt a bit numb after taken only one of its attack.
'What the...' He gritted his teeth as he decided to use a skill he had never used before.
'Fourth art of the sun God, mark of ascension.' the area was suddenly bathed in light as he dismissed his cloak and his shirt and then it revealed Dexter who faced off against the creature.
His skin now has various celestial markings on it which glowed a bright golden colour and his hair which was black had suddenly turned golden in colour and it glowed brightly as it waved even in the absence of wind.
With a silent whistle, he turned into a beam of light as he suddenly appeared beside the shadow and struck at it.
