"So... You're the one who's been bothering my Mary?" A puzzling question came out of Zepar's mouth. Which of course made Alan tilt his head in confusion.

"You mean?"

"Don't talk much! Give yourself good... Marry wants you tortured!" A stale no-nonsense zepar shot out the gate. Attacking Alan with Timeless Blade clasped in the right hand.

"Exit!" Alan's orders to Rendemiz, as he darted towards Zepar to welcome Zepar's open challenge.

Thang's...

Thang's...

The exchange of attacks between Alan and Zepar was inevitable. The two of them tried to finish each other using their weapons.

Zepar was a High Demon figure whose strength could keep up with the strength of a Great Demon General. From the exchange of attacks alone, Alan could tell if the attributes possessed by Zepar were higher than his attributes. Plus the Timeless Blade used by Zepar. If only Alan had not used The Forgotten Dagger and Black Poison Dagger simultaneously to fend off every swing of the Timeless Blade, perhaps Alan had already been thrown several times.

"Five Guardian!"

Alan felt that he would not be able to face Zepar alone, calling the five guardians would certainly be the wisest choice. Five shadow warriors appeared on Alan's side, with each weapon embedded in his hand.

"Forward!"

One word from Alan instantly made the five shadow soldiers who had only been standing firmly now shot towards Zepar. Attempting to attack Zepar from various sides.

Being surrounded by five shadow warriors does not seem to make Zepar so difficult. With Timeless Blade in his right hand, he could suppress the five shadow warriors that surrounded him. Even the occasional Zepar could still land a counterattack on each of the shadow warriors. Making the HP of the shadow warrior slowly descend.

"Great..." Alan must admit... Seeing Zepar play Timeless Blade in the face of his five shadow warriors, amazed him. Each swing of the Timeless Blade sword from Zepar was truly effective.

Observing from a distance, Alan waited for the right time. Until Zepar opened a little gap to be able to land an attack towards Zepar.

Jamb...

Without Alan noticing, a sword had pierced Alan's stomach from behind. Penetrating through his stomach to the tip of the sword could be seen from the direction of Alan's eyes.

"Who?" Alan did not expect any impromptu attacks.

Fortunately, the sword did not hit his heart. Although his HP was reduced to over half a bar, the wound was still not enough to kill Alan.

Alan could see a hand coming out of his shadow. The hand that grasped the Timeless Blade sword.

"How can you?" Alan tried to release the sword that pierced through his stomach, a great pain he must feel when trying to release Timeless Blade from his stomach.

Alan immediately drank three bottles of potion to heal the wound he had just gotten. He was still filled with questions, how could Zepar attack himself through his own shadow?

'Joker... You know what technique attacked me?'

[Shadow Limb's. A force that could send his limbs to cling to the shadows. Whether it is a shadow of a thing or a living creature.]

'Shadow Limb?'

Alan did not suspect... Zepar has such great special powers. It was only fitting that Zepar in the field had a strength that could compensate for the strength of the Great Demon General.

"I can't let my guard down anymore..." Alan activated his Shadow Zone. He certainly did not want to be cheated by an impromptu attack from the special ability that Zepar had once again. With the Shadow Zone, he could sense if there would be an impromptu attack trying to stab him in the back.

Thang's...

As Alan expected, Zepar again launched an impromptu attack on himself through Alan's shadow. But this time it was different from the previous one. Alan would never fall into the same hole again. Shadow Zone made itself able to feel the coming of attack from Zepar. Makes Alan manage to deflect it perfectly.

"This time it's my turn!" Alan certainly did not want to stay silent and wait for Zepar to attack him. Using the Shadow Zone for too long would also continue to drain his stamina. Moreover, his stamina has now been drained quite a lot after using Real Counter earlier.

Along with the five shadow warriors, Alan surrounded Zepar. Attempting to attack Zepar from various sides.

"Bad you kid!" Zepar felt so cornered. After Alan joined the fight, his body felt much heavier than usual. If not for his skill in playing the sword, he might have been struck at a vital point.

Feeling so angled, Zepar leapt back to take some distance from Alan and his five shadow warriors. There was no other choice for Zepar to be able to defeat Alan and his five shadow warriors other than to use the strongest power of Timeless Blade, Time Space.

Zepar grasped the Timeless Blade with both hands, placing it in front of his chest. Gathering the power to activate Time Space.

"heart... He will use the power of Timeless Blade!" Rendemiz who was still hiding inside the invisible mode shouted towards Alan. Alert Alan to the impending danger.

"The Power of Timeless Blade?" Despite being warned by Rendemiz, Alan was certainly late for a quick reaction.

"Time Space!"

A single whisper of Zepar's words was enough for him. As if time was being stopped, Zepar saw that everything around him was not moving at all.

Alan felt no change, even though Zepar had activated Time Space. All he knew was that Zepar's figure had suddenly disappeared.

Alan's question was answered. Two seconds after Zepar's figure disappeared, his five shadow warriors arrived dead. Some were cut in half, some were torn apart. One thing Alan knew, the five of them had been attacked at a super-fast speed.

Slashwas...

"What was that?" Alan got a pretty deep incision right in one of his thighs. Makes Alan must feel pain in the thighs of his left leg, which of course makes Alan's movement will be slowed down.

Alan only felt a glimpse of the existence of someone within the Shadow Zone, then suddenly he got injured. Although Alan knows for sure if the figure is Zepar, but he did not expect if Zepar could attack him with super fast speed.

Slashwas...

Slashwas...

It is like being tortured slowly. Alan was getting incision after incision all over his body. His HP was reduced continuously every time he got an incision from Zepar.

"Dam... If only I hadn't used the Real Counter just now!" Alan regretted a little bit about using Real Counter earlier. If only he used Real Counter at this time, he could face Zepar so easily.

Alan could have used Real Counter once again. But of course his stamina will be drained immediately, and Alan does not want it to happen. Remembering he still had to face Marry after he defeated Zepar.

"Wind's Shield!"

Unwilling to activate Real Counter, and unwilling to continuously receive attacks from Zepar that he could not keep up with his movements. Alan activated Wind Shield to protect his body. The only way to withstand Zepar's attack was to activate a protector that protected his entire body. Although Alan also knew, the Wind Shield would not be enough to withstand all of Zepar's attacks. But at the very least, the Wind Shield was enough for him to prepare for his next move.

Thang's...

Thang's...

Alan's guess was proved right. In just 3 seconds alone, the durability of the Wind Shield Alan had been reduced by over three quarters. Marking Zepar continuously attacking Alan nonstop. Though Wind Shield Alan has a durability as much as HP Alan, HP that is three times more than any player.

Alan widened his Shadow Zone. Set it to reduce the speed of anyone within the Shadow Zone to the maximum limit that can be suppressed.

The move that Alan took was so effective, he could now feel the existence of Zepar coming and going to give an attack on the Wind Shield. Although Zepar's figure is still invisible, but Alan can know when Zepar will attack him.

"This boy is really troublesome!" Zepar cursed to himself, seeing that Alan could now move. Although still in the Slow Motion movement. But still, being able to be seen moving around in Time Space was an incredible achievement. Proving the Shadow Zone that was suppressing itself was really making its speed decrease very far.

Feeling that his speed was decreasing far, Zepar certainly did not dare to act frontally by continuing inside the Shadow Zone. Zepar chose to occasionally give an attack and immediately retreated. He still did not know the extent to which the Shadow Zone possessed by Alan could suppress his speed. It would be very dangerous for him if his speed was suppressed even further if he continued to be inside the Shadow Zone.

The move Zepar took was even fatal to him. Just as he entered the Shadow Zone area to deliver an attack, Alan moved his mouth.

"Black Breath!"

Wush...

a black lump of gas came out of Alan's mouth. Although the movement of the gas was slow, Zepar who was speeding towards Alan was late to react to avoid it.

"What?" Zepar did not expect at all. His body does not follow what he wants. Zepar wanted to slash at Alan with his sword, but his body seemed to have stopped. Can't move a bit.

"Ah... Finally..." Alan could now see the figure of Zepar who had stopped before him. It is clear if Zepar tries to attack Alan's right foot, which will certainly make Alan unable to stand and fight Zepar again.

"You can be quick... But as fast as you can, you'll stop when you're inside this gas." Alan smiled cunningly. Seeing the look on Zepar's face that reflected his frustration towards Alan.

"I'm sorry? But I can't stay with you for long..." Alan arranged for the Shadow Zone to soften all the hard objects within the Shadow Zone. Making Zepar's body that was so strong is now like a soft white tofu.

Slashwas...

With a one-time slash using The Forgotten Dagger, Alan took Zepar's life. Separating Zepar's head from his original body. Timeless Blade was lying on the ground, having slipped out of Zepar's lifeless hand.

From Zepar's body came a black shadow that directly entered into Alan's body. It made Alan feel a tremendous heat all over his body. Even Alan had to fall to bend his knees, resisting the heat that enveloped his body.

"Dam... The Demon's soul is very strong..." Alan bit his own teeth, holding back all the heat that was burning him from within.

"You're okay?" As soon as the puff of poisonous gas disappeared, Rendemiz could see the figure of Apan in pain. He immediately approached Alan to ask about Alan's situation.

"Yes... But it's so hot..." Alan was still trying to endure the heat that enveloped his entire body.

Rendemiz certainly panicked to see the condition of Alan.he wanted to help but did not know what to do. Rendemiz's panic intensified when an explosion occurred near Alan and Rendemiz.

"Who is that?" Rendemiz tried to check who the figure that attacked him and Alan was. But after finding out who the figure that attacked the two of them, Rendemiz instead re-thought about what he had just done. Regretting has cursed at the figure that attacked him and Alan.

"Maryl?"
