I want to be the Grand Duke of the Abyss

Chapter 17 Shadow Demon Nicole
The Balrog felt the threat, roared angrily, and struck at the Shadow Demon with his sword.

The sword and blade intersect in the air, and the power of flames and darkness collides continuously, making crisp sounds.

The female shadow demon nimbly shuttled through the exploding flames and smoke, using her dexterity and the power of shadow to walk back and forth outside the attack range of the Balrog, evading most of the attacks.

Sometimes she hides behind the mist, making it difficult for the Balrog to find her; sometimes she jumps out like lightning, inflicting a blow and retreating immediately.Every time he appears, the shadow demon can use the shadow blade in his hand to cut through the body and skin of the Balrog again and again.

Blood and flames continued to mix violently in the battle, continuously weakening the Balrog's health and condition.

After Balrog was tricked, he, who was already irritable, suddenly became angry.

The burning giant sword was swung frequently like the wind, and the hot purgatory fire was released from his hand, attacking the shadow demon like a fiery snake.

However, Shadow Demon once again keenly caught Balrog's attack and quickly dodged away.But this time, she only dodged the sword's slash, but failed to dodge the fire snake's attack.

Once the spell strike is cast, mental power will superimpose a mark on the target. It is difficult to avoid the tracking of the spell by ordinary means. Only some special skills can do it.

Of course, this is also the power of Master Fa.

After the two clashed several times, the female shadow demon had completely gained the upper hand.

The constant injuries caused the scorching flames on the Balrog's body to gradually lose their original temperature, and his strength began to slowly fail.

Seeing this, Shadow Demon saw the opportunity, and with a cold shout, he activated his skills immediately after the sound. The short blade in his hand was filled with dim light and stabbed the Balrog's head fiercely!

[Breath of Shadow: Active skill, using the power of shadow, launches a fatal blow to the target, causing 200% physical damage, and has a chance of killing a unit with a health value below 5%]

The Balrog let out a deafening howl of misery, as if he had foreseen his imminent death.

His blood-red eyes were still glaring fiercely forward, but the brilliance in them became increasingly dim.

The huge body trembled unwillingly for a few times, and then fell stiffly to the ground.The flames on the body seemed to have burned out, and finally exploded with a "bang", leaving only balls of ashes attached to the skin.

The cold face of the female shadow demon was calm, and her lips kept opening and closing as she breathed heavily.

Although the result seemed very simple, this moment of life-and-death struggle and high concentration still cost her a lot of energy and energy.

Shadow Demon stood there and looked around vigilantly, absorbing the power of the abyss to restore his state.

But at this moment, the shadow under her body started to squirm strangely like a living thing, constantly wandering on the ground, and quickly approached the huge body of the Balrog.

After touching the shadow under Balrog's corpse, a devouring power suddenly erupted. Balrog's strong flesh and blood body shriveled up visibly to the naked eye, and the power of the abyss in his body was directly extracted by the shadow.

This is the method of swallowing by the Shadow Demon Clan.

The female shadow demon is named Nicole, and she comes from the Night Blade clan on the 899th plane.

The Shadow Demons are born assassins, and their extremely exaggerated agility attribute growth makes them the most terrifying assassins in the abyss.

Adult shadow demons are very good at stealth and various assassination techniques, and they also have deep control over the power of the shadow realm.They are agile, move quickly and accurately, and are often able to deliver fatal blows before their enemies are aware of them.

At the same time, the Shadow Demons are also good at manipulating chaos and subterfuge, and can create various illusions and traps to confuse their enemies so that they cannot easily discover their traces.

Although the Shadow Demon Tribe is not included in the four major royal clans, their impressive achievements over the years make all species in the abyss dare not underestimate them.Over the course of countless years, the Shadow Demon clan has continued to branch out and establish powerful clan forces in various planes of the abyss.

As a new member of the 899th-level shadow demon clan, Nicole not only has deep bloodline power, but also changed her profession after advancing to become a powerful shadow assassin.

However, the training method of the Night Blade clan means that even those who are as outstanding as her have to go out alone to practice, and cannot return to the family until they advance to Silver.The Night Blade clan has created generations of elite clansmen through this kind of poison-raising method, constantly consolidating the family's strength and bloodline dignity.

Shadow Demon Nicole has been in this valley for several months.

During this period of time, she went from being cautious and hiding here and there (preventing swallowing) from the beginning, to specifically picking out those who were in poor condition and injured, and now she can easily hunt down lone demons and dark creatures.

His strength is no longer the same as when he first left the family.

Even among the younger generation of shadow demons, she has the confidence to be at the forefront of her class.

After all, she inherited her father's powerful bloodline power, and she is extremely compatible with the Shadow Assassin profession.

"When you return to the family, you must be recognized."

Nicole secretly made up her mind.

Soon, she had devoured the Balrog's abyssal power.After adjusting her condition, Nicole moved and slowly dissipated in the mist.The shadows on the ground were no longer as dark as ink just now, but gradually became thinner and thinner, and finally disappeared quietly.

If the shriveled body of the Balrog hadn't been there, it would have been impossible to tell that this place had just experienced a fierce battle of life and death.

~~~
Turning around, he looked at Jiang Fan.

He has put aside the side quests in the second stage for the time being, and unsurprisingly decided to prioritize leveling up.

Jiang Fan has been coveting the bodies of those demons in the Death Duel Arena for a long time. It is only right to advance quickly and go back. The Duel Arena is a place where you can gain experience just by standing next to it!
Although according to his guess, if there is no target that contributes damage to the target, the experience points gained will definitely not be as much as the units killed by oneself, but after all, it is in vain!
You can just lie still and let the people above do the work.

Xiangxiang~
At this time, Jiang Fan, after returning to the city to replenish his skills, now when facing a first-level demon, anyone dares to call him "stinky brother".Even if he encounters the elite earth demon Bird again, with the help of painful strikes and new spells, he is completely confident that he will wear it out.

If you meet other squishy races, you don’t have to worry at all, just go ahead and be done with it.

With his rich combat skills, even if a certain attribute point is slightly lower than that of his opponent, he is confident that he can make up for the gap.

Jiang Fan carefully shuttled between the hills, while not forgetting to keep a close eye on the panel, trying to avoid the dense clusters of red dots.

After going deep into Death Valley, you can occasionally encounter groups of monsters.Those tribes that may be dark creatures, with his current crude group attack method, cannot deal with too many targets at once.

Suddenly, a red dot flashed in front of the map.

Immediately afterwards, there was a whooshing sound, and a dark figure passed through the fog and pounced towards Jiang Fan.Jiang Fan instinctively used the Skeleton Scythe to block his opponent, pushed forward with force, and used his strength to quickly distance himself backwards.

After carefully looking at the appearance of the creature in front of him, he was frightened.

Its head resembles a giant insect head, and its body exudes a disgusting stench and rotten smell.The body is covered with scales and shells, and its sharp legs and huge jaws are powerful weapons for tearing apart and devouring prey.

Yes, "it".
