章 467: The Boy Born in Darkness (4)

A villager, emboldened by desperation, attempted to grapple with the boy. Yet, the shadows wrapped around them like an impenetrable cloak, repelling the desperate assault. The boy retaliated with a pulse of dark energy, rendering the assailant unconscious in an instant.

A particularly agile villager, armed with a whip, attempted to entangle the boy. However, the shadows responded to his will, intercepting the whip mid-air. With an almost ethereal grace, the boy disarmed the assailant, the whip now a mere plaything of the eldritch forces.

Another villager, wielding a crossbow, aimed at the boy with trembling hands. The boy, now an arbiter of shadows, redirected the bolt with a subtle gesture, sending it hurtling back toward the assailant. The villager caught off guard, fell to the ground, the crossbow bolt sealing their fate.
