Chapter 113: Death

The portal never materialized.

Unknown to Arthur's Shadow, Neo had just slayed Lucas' Shadow.

The Shadow could not escape.

Arthur didn't hesitate.

He dashed forward with all his might.

In one swift motion, he plunged the dagger into the Shadow's chest and smashed the vial of Shadow Ink inside its mouth.

The Shadow gasped.

Its eyes widened and it tried to puke the Shadow Ink.

The poison coursed through its veins and it died a slow death, unable to do anything.

Arthur almost collapsed.

He was exhausted beyond limit after pushing himself to fight the Shadow.

Despite the seemingly simple battle, he had to block multiple attacks of the Shadow that was boosted by Invincible.

He rushed to Leonora.

"Wait a second, I'll use an elixir. Use your Holy Affinity too.

"That will definitely heal you."

He tried to pull another vial and poured it over her wound with trembling hands.

Her body was limp.
