My Shadow Can Grow
Complicated Neva Blossom

"I didn't think he would chase me all the way to the Night Empire, I thought he had given up" Neva said as she bit her fingernails.

"And this time, she came with someone else to help her, it seemed like she really didn't want me to run away anymore."

Previously, in the city of Peg only Andrew was alone dealing with him, and it managed to beat him back.

But now he's bringing in someone who makes the situation complicated, if he loses against Andrew especially if he takes someone.

Worsened by the number of corpses he had, Neva had only a few corpses in his hands now, he did not dare to face Andrew and his friend with a few corpses.

Suddenly Neva was surprised. "Not good! They're getting closer! I can't waste any more time, I have to run away right now!"

Soon Neva quickly transports her belongings, especially the ones she thinks are important, the others she doesn't care about leaving behind.

After he finished storing his belongings, Neva immediately rushed out of his hiding place through the back door.

...............................

1 hour later after Neva left her hiding place, Lin and Andrew had already arrived in front of the house Neva had lived before.

"He's in there!" andrew said, pointing at the house in front of him.

The two of them did not know that Neva had long since gone from there, inside the house there was only a void.

Without further ado, the two of them broke in through the door.

When they entered, the two were immediately startled, as they currently only saw a crumpled bed and some women's clothing strewn across the floor, plus a broken table.

"Neva has figured out where we are, so she immediately runs away, damn this woman is very cunning!" Andrew could not bear not to curse Neva.

"It seems he went through the back door." Lin touched his chin while watching all the traces that Neva had left behind.

In a hurry, Neva left so many traces that it was easy to find, Andrew also saw the traces that Lin said, his face became ugly.

"It would be troublesome, if the woman left the Night Empire."

Lin shook his head."No, it's likely that now he's looking for another hiding place, because I'm sure Neva won't dare to escape the Night Empire rashly." Lin denied Andrew's remarks.

He looked at Andrew and asked. "Is the ancient compass still running?"

Andrew immediately looked at the ancient compass in his hand, then the pointers in the compass moved in a west direction that was different from their previous destination.

"He's going west, let's go after him!"

After telling Lin, Andrew rushed after Neva again, Lin also followed, but he suddenly stopped, as Lin realized that something was wrong behind Andrew.

Lin faintly saw a black figure like a human, it seemed that the black figure wanted to strangle Andrew's neck, but Andrew did not know it.

"Be careful!" Lin gave a warning to Andrew.

He instantly used the secret art of 'Shadow Blade''. In a split second, a black shadow created in the air formed a sword and shot towards the black figure behind Andrew.

Swoshis!

His gaze immediately turned towards Lin and instantly his pupils became small, now in his vision an object like a black fog flew towards him quickly until it made Andrew not have time to react.

The black fog reached him. Surprisingly Andrew did not feel any pain in the body, he only felt a small wind friction on his neck, it was because at first the black fog was not shown to him but the figure behind him.

The humanoid figure was aware with a black sword heading towards him, so he instantly dodged, but not completely dodged, the black sword managed to scrape through his shoulder.

Andrew recovered from his shock, he seemed to realize there was a movement behind him, swiftly turning his body.

"A corpse!" said Andrew.

Lin also nodded in agreement with Andrew's statement, the figure in front of him was a corpse, it was visible from his completely white eyes and pale skin.

That black figure, no, the corpse was spitting out a black liquid dripping from his shoulder and it smelled bad.

"It's a secret art of Neva, she's prepared this in advance to slow us down in pursuit of her, and she doesn't hesitate to use a level 2 beyonce corpse, truly a cunning woman."

"Not just one, but there are five." Lin noticed that there were 4 others who were staring at the two of them from the darkness.

"Ckckl... Five corpses of level 2 beyonder."

Andrew reached into his suit pocket with two hands, then he took out a poker tucked in both fingers.

Then he threw the playing cards into one of the bodies, immediately the corpse was attacked with many cards like bullets shot, penetrated the body of the corpse and left several holes in the body of the corpse.

Black blood shot out from the hole, and the corpse fell down, it seemed that Neva's secret art had already been cut off from the corpse.

"Secret art weapon? Card Poker?" Lin was a little surprised by the sharpness of the poker cards Andrew had.

"Right, 'Poker Mistic' is a secret art that uses cards as a medium, this is one of the basic system secret arts that I practice."

The poker cards are not ordinary cards, they are made of the incredible metal that Andrew bought on the black market which makes his endurance much stronger than regular poker cards, moreover, it was still a secret art that could still be developed, as the ring increased, various kinds of effects would be unlocked.

Without noticing Andrew again, Lin entered shadow mode and slipped behind the corpse, the corpse seemingly unaware of something sneaking behind it.

Then Lin came out to the surface while holding the black sword in his hand, then mercilessly cut off his head.

The head of the corpse fell to the floor, black blood splattered like a fountain from the part of the neck cut off.

The body was looking for his head, but unfortunately he did not find his head, he finally fell to the floor helplessly.

Black looked at the corpse that had fallen in front of Lin with a voracious gaze, without Lin's orders, Black secretly ate the corpse without Lin's knowledge in a joyful mood.

[Your shadow eats human corpses. Now your Shadow has grown stronger, he is very satisfied, you get 20 source points. ]

"What?! 20 Source Points?!" Lin was surprised.

This corpse gave it 20 points larger than an ordinary human, was it because this corpse had been trained under the guidance of a secret art that made it contain a lot of energy?

His gaze moved to Andrew issuing a single Poker card with the name 'Joker', then throwing it at the two nearby corpses.

Booms!

An explosion occurs when Andrew throws a Joker card.

"This life must not be in vain right, this is all treasure." Lin smiled faintly, then his body sank into the shadows.
