I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

...

"What the hell?"

Roger was taken aback.

"Your heir, your bloodline, the existence that can inherit the authority or bloodline of a tyrant..."

There was undisguised fanaticism on Yingyue's face.

"This request may be excessive and abrupt, but the Shadow Realm really needs you or your blood..."

"We've been following you for a long time!"

"But you are still unwilling to set foot in this territory that should belong to you..."

"In the past, we have been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for your chance to remember this territory again, and now, we have finally waited..."

Speaking of which.

There was more solemnity and seriousness in her tone:

"The high-ranking lord Yingyue, on behalf of the 72 high-ranking lords and billions of shadow creatures in the Shadow Realm, implores His Highness the Tyrant to take back the power of the Shadow Realm..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to, but at least let us keep your heir."

"Because this is a matter of the survival of the Shadow Realm!"

"As long as you nod, I or other women in the 72 lords can accommodate your strength...Of course, if the request is male or third gender, it's not impossible..."

"In short, the Shadow Realm has longed for your presence for too long!"

...

Yingyue's words stunned Luo Jie.

He once thought that the other party was cheating.

But it's been a long time.

He found that Yingyue was sincere!

now...

He pulled Yingyue who was in a state of frenzy.

Came to the side to have a more in-depth communication.

It's been a long time.

Roger just figured out the situation

...

turn out to be.

Everything Yingyue said was true.

The chaotic and powerful Shadow Realm has been longing for a powerful leader to regain control of this cracked world.

For a long time in the past.

Civil wars are frequent in the Shadowlands.

Although the current 72 high-level lords have reached a preliminary alliance.

But private wars are still commonplace.

This situation will not improve until the real Lord of Shadows is determined.

But the shadow creatures know it well.

Based on the laws of the subplane of the Shadowlands.

It is impossible for native shadow creatures to ascend the shadow throne.

That authority is destined to hang high above the heads of all living beings.

become a source of confusion.

in this case.

It has become an important task for the 72 lords to find targets that can compete for the Shadow Throne.

Although the lords may not be willing in their hearts.

But this is the mission entrusted to them by the Throne.

Be part of the Shadowlands.

It is impossible for them to resist.

in the past few epochs.

The Shadow Throne also briefly had some contenders.

It is a pity that most of these people have disappeared in the dust of history.

Few people can truly digest the authority of the Shadow Throne.

Thus giving new vitality to this mysterious and quiet world.

Due to the lack of a holder of world authority.

The Shadow Realm has always been passive in dealing with the squeeze and invasion of the will of the outside world.

Especially the last few epochs.

The expansion actions of Abyss and Purgatory are too obvious.

The Shadow Realm, which is also a crack world and a neighbor, is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Just a few epochs down.

The area of ​​the Shadow Realm has shrunk by two-thirds compared to its peak period.

This is unacceptable for competitive shadow creatures.

Many shadow creatures try to break the laws of the subplane.

There are also some exceptional individuals who have been successful.

But this can't change the existing situation in the shadow world at all.

Therefore, re-finding someone with the ability to hold the Shadow Throne has become the top priority of the high-level creatures in the Shadow Realm.

Just at this time.

The name of the killing tyrant broke into the vision of the 72 lords.

According to Yingyue.

A long time ago.

The Shadowlands are already paying attention to Roger.

Roger was still adventuring in the Southern Cemetery at the time.

The League of Assassins he came into contact with was a branch of the Shadow Realm in Mystra.

Originally, the League of Assassins wanted to invite Roger to join.

But helplessly, Roger showed amazing strength and his attitude was too strong.

Therefore, the League of Assassins no longer acted rashly.

Instead, it was because of Sisko.

The League of Assassins mistook Roger for discovering their identities and gave them a warning.

so far.

The Shadowlands mistook Roger for sternly rejecting their invitation.

This makes them feel panic.

They didn't dare to contact Roger rashly.

They could only wait in the dark for Roger's call.

Time passed day by day.

Just after Roger cultivated into a killing personality.

The lords of the Shadow Realm felt that they were over the top!

Because the shadow is the best partner for killing.

The Shadow Throne also has a part of the blessing of the killing personality.

They felt that Roger would definitely step into the Shadow Realm.

There will then be room for both parties to reconnect.

But who knows that so many years have passed in a flash,

Except for the occasional use of the shadow springboard, Roger has been in the shadow world.

At other times, it never went deep!

This made the 72 lords very embarrassed.

Note that there is no call or orientation from the Material Plane.

No matter how powerful the shadow creatures are, they cannot interfere with the world.

And accompanied by a big change in the double star pattern.

The influence of the Shadow Realm in the double star has also declined.

They couldn't hook up with Roger.

Can only continue to wait.

This waits until now.

Who knows how excited the shadow creatures were when Roger released the first bounty order!

Yingyue is the closest.

It's also the fastest one!

...

"I said why so many people accepted my reward order just after it was released... So they have been following me secretly!"

After verifying Yingyue's statement with the ontology.

Roger was still a little weird.

But soon he adjusted his self-cognition.

After all, the Shadow Realm is indeed the best helper for assassins.

If it is before he kills the Killing Mask himself.

Shadowlands creatures have other options.

Then after this battle.

They really had only one candidate left, Roger.

At least that's the case on binary stars.

...

"You are anxious to let me take over the Shadow Throne, you must have encountered other things, not just the invasion of the abyss and purgatory..."

Roger looked at Yingyue with burning eyes.

The latter frankly admitted:

...

"If it's just because of the invasion of the abyss and purgatory.

We will not come to you in such a hurry.

The Shadowlands has a long history.

And we, as shadow creatures with infinite lifespans, are equally patient.

usually.

We will all continue to wait.

But things are different now.

Vortex creatures hastened the encroachment on the Shadowlands.

More and more shadow dwellers are transformed into vortex creatures!

We are still in control of the situation at the moment though.

But it has gradually felt powerless.

We have appealed to the heavens for help.

But never got a response.

Perhaps as those ancient lords guessed, the situation in the heavens may not be better than ours!

or even worse...

In short, if no one can use the power of the Shadow Throne to correct the laws of the subplane.

Then the vortex creatures will completely annex the shadow world.

And use this as a springboard to intervene in the present world..."

...

Hear here.

Roger couldn't help thinking of something else.

He couldn't help but ask Yingyue:

"What kind of agreement did Abyss and Purgatory reach with the vortex creatures? Why are they willing to surrender their territory to the vortex creatures?"

"Regarding this issue, we have also conducted internal research and investigation, but unfortunately, we have not drawn a particularly clear conclusion, but demon lords and high-level devils are the embodiment of evil and chaos, and now adding a distortion seems to have no effect. What sense of disobedience...

We can be sure of that.

The will of the abyss has been completely filled with distorted matter.

And the situation in Purgatory seems to be better..."

"But we are different, we are shadows, shadows are born with the sun, we have our order, this order is absolutely not allowed to be trampled by distorted matter!".

These words.

Yingyue spoke loudly.

It can be regarded as an expression of determination on behalf of the Shadow Realm.

Roger nodded involuntarily.

He calculated.

The Shadowlands is a very special subplane.

If you can take it.

Maybe you can indirectly gain insight into the situation on other planets.

Moreover, it is very suitable to be used as a buffer zone against the invasion of distortion substances.

in addition.

Shadow personality and authority are the best partners for killing.

As long as it's not a trap.

It doesn't matter if he goes to the Shadowlands for a while.

but not now.

So Roger said to Yingyue:

"It's useless to leave my heir to you, he may not be able to inherit my power, not to mention I have no plans to keep my bloodline now..."

Speaking of which.

He saw the light in Yingyue's eyes dissipate little by little.

He could vaguely feel a little regret.

Roger pretended not to know and continued:

...

"But I will consider going to the Shadow Realm. I hope you can prepare more information about the struggle for the Shadow Throne..."

...

"clear!"

Yingyue said excitedly:

"No star master has ever been willing to become the king of the shadow realm. If you are really willing to condescend to the shadow throne, that would be great!"

"This is the God's Shadow Stone. There is a coordinate in it. After entering the Shadow Realm, you only need to tap this stone lightly, and it will teleport you to my palace. I will be waiting for you in the Shadow Realm anytime!"

As she spoke, she sent a small round stone to Roger.

Roger nodded.

The two chatted for a while.

Yingyue said that her time in this world has come to an end.

Roger brought her an upgraded weapon.

It is counted as a reward for the bounty order.

Although Yingyue is useless.

But still accepted it with a happy face.

After sending Yingyue away.

Roger only had time to deal with the situation at the Black Star Gate.

...

"Reminder: You have obtained a Red Dust Pill!

...

You have obtained the magic weapon 'Forgiveness Furnace'! "

...

In the Pit of Demon Sealing.

Roger stared coldly at the overturned alchemy furnace.

In his hand, he held a pill that was shining red.

This is the Red Dust Pill refined by the Black Star Gate!

The data bar is displayed.

This red dust pill can increase a lot of xP after taking it!

It can also provide a large amount of Qi to the user.

But the price of all this is

Countless human lives are needed to fill it up!

A Red Dust Pill.

At least the flesh and blood of thousands of monsters are needed to condense it!

And except for the monster.

Every Red Dust Pill will sacrifice the life of a normal person during the final pill calamity!

Such insane behavior made Roger deeply uncomfortable.

To know.

In the storage props of the corpse demon Zhang Kai.

He found a dozen Red Dust Pills!

According to Zhang Daoyun et al.

More Hongchen Pills have been taken by Zhang Kai himself!

After knowing this.

Luo Jie felt extremely regretful about the death of Zhang Kai in the hands of Yingyue. Although these monsters are no longer human beings, killing and eating are completely different things, at least in Luo Jie's perception.

What's more, normal people are also affected in the process!

...

"Since when did he use people to make alchemy?"

Roger asked Zhang Daoyun.

The latter had a pale face, but his mind was still clear. The rest of the people were terrified by today's accident, especially after Roger forcibly terminated the alchemy process, everyone in the Black Star Gate suffered injuries to varying degrees. Can't speak clearly.

...

"Can't remember exactly.

Ever since the monster appeared in the wilderness.

My uncle's state is very strange.

He was originally a Qi refiner from the sect.

The realm is not high.

That's why I didn't become a monster.

In the beginning, we hid in xz to avoid the monster's pursuit.

Later, my uncle seemed to have bumped into something by himself.

It disappeared for two full months.

He found us two months later.

But the whole person has changed.

Temperament becomes cruel and malevolent.

And he still doesn't know where he came up with this method of alchemy with human life.

We are all repulsive.

There is no way.

His strength is much stronger than ours.

...

When forcibly forming the Black Star Gate.

He told us that he has the support of an expert behind him.

Honestly.

At the time we all suspected he was crazy.

But he does have some nefarious tricks at his disposal.

We survive because of it.

But I also did a lot of bad things…”

...

Speaking of which.

Zhang Daoyun turned his head guiltily.

Roger glanced at everyone present.

There are eight Black Star disciples in total.

Each one is in the state of autopsy ascension.

Although their realm is very unstable.

The actual combat ability is also greatly reduced.

But no matter what, it's an upgrade!

...

Roger understood:

"You have all eaten the Red Dust Pill..."

Zhang Daoyun sweated on his forehead.

nodded.

Everyone who was not sober just now became excited when they heard this.

They argued:

"He forced us to eat it!"

"If we don't eat, he's going to kill me!"

"That's right! If I don't eat it, the lord will train me into a Red Dust Pill!"

Looking at the panic of everyone in the Black Star Gate.

Roger shook his head secretly in his heart.

Also a group of poor and pathetic people,

Obviously they are all upgraders.

But none of them had the will to fight!

These people are the tool people circled by the corpse demon Zhang Kai!

Its purpose is to help him collect demons and alchemy in the wilderness!

These people have lost the heart and spirit of a normal person.

The only difference between him and a demon is that his sanity is still there.

Even Zhang Daoyun, who is in the best condition, is far inferior to those teenagers from the Self-Help Society.

Think here.

Roger knew what to do next.

He used the fastest speed to destroy the "Forgiveness Furnace" specially used to refine the life-saving medicine.

Then prepare to destroy all Hongchen Pills.

But at this moment.

Zhang Daoyun suddenly stopped and said:

"Senior! The origin of this Red Dust Pill is very evil. If you want to eat it, you can eat it. If you want to throw it away or destroy it, it will attract evil beasts!"

Roger held a Red Dust Pill.

Said flatly:

"Really? Then let me see what kind of beasts I can attract!"

talking.

He then crushed that Red Dust Pill on the spot!

Roar!

A strange roar sounded.

The powder of Hongchen Pill rose against the wind!

Immediately afterwards.

From the powder emerged a mass of flesh with countless arms and heads!

...

"Warning: You have encountered an evil beast in the world of mortals!"

...

"Warning: You are aware of the abomination of the will of the abyss!"

...
