Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 536 - 377: Time Stop Counterplay, Overlord-level Fallen Shadow Demon
The skills were ever-changing, clearly indicating that Evans's demon form excelled in stealth and assassination.
The transformations were deceptive, difficult to discern truth from falsehood.
One moment he appeared as Evans's true form, but the next moment he became a smoke decoy.
Now, Zong Shen understood why the "Night Demon" could wreak havoc for so many years without leaving any trace.
With such bizarre abilities of movement and those soul-calming powders that could cause sleep.
Kidnapping young girls would be child's play.
Even now, with the guide module marking him, it still posed a significant challenge for Zong Shen.
"Fire Energy Enhancement!"
Zong Shen activated an auxiliary skill.
The edge of the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword immediately burst into a layer of orange-red flames.
Behind him, the half-demonized Evans had a sinister smile, evidently hiding other tricks.
But the golden mark in front of him proved this was his true form.
He decided not to waste time and pulled out the Time Stop Treasure Pearl with his other hand.
Charging again with the sword, the demonized Evans let out a soft laugh.
He pushed the disguised mercenary forward towards Zong Shen.
Zong Shen twisted his wrist, directing the sword edge downward, and used the broad blade like a paddle to send the mercenary flying.
His gaze remained fixed on Evans, taking a few large strides forward.
With one hand, he swung the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword in a sweeping motion.
At this critical moment, the golden mark began to flicker.
Zong Shen activated the Time Stop Treasure Pearl with his other hand.
The Time Stop Effect took hold instantly.
Within a kilometer radius, all space was in a state of temporal stasis.
The golden mark ceased flickering, forcibly interrupting the demonized Evans's tricks of displacement.
The Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword cleaved directly onto his body.
The cracked blade sliced through his chest like cutting through tofu.
Severing muscle and bone, leaving a ghastly wound.
In the time-stopped state.
The demon's self-healing ability couldn't activate.
Through the wound, his internal organs appeared as a mass of black mud.
Unclear whether it caused damage to his organs.
[-216]
[-10]
Zong Shen's mind shifted, ending the Time Stop state.
A damage figure emerged.
The entire process took three seconds.
Before his eyes, the golden mark flickered, and in the next moment, a fake Evans appeared at the original location.
The real Evans had already moved several meters away.
This time, his true form revealed itself quickly.
The sinister smile froze on the demonized Evans's face as he looked down at the gash on his chest.
When he looked up at Zong Shen again, he was full of shock.
Despite his skills being fast, they were no match for the Time Stop Treasure Pearl.
Zong Shen wasted no words, giving a slight shake of his wrist, flinging off the black blood from the blade's edge.
Each drop of black blood that hit the ground emitted a faint black smoke.
The composure on demonized Evans's face vanished completely.
He clutched his chest, intending to use skills to escape again.
The disguised mercenaries around were completely terrified.
In their perspective, Zong Shen and Evans's bodies disappeared simultaneously.
When their forms reappeared, they had switched positions.
And Evans's chest bore an inexplicable wound.
Such a rapidly changing battle was beyond their imagination.
These private mercenaries held no true loyalty to Evans either.
They followed Evans originally for money.
Seeing Evans unable to match Zong Shen even in a demonized state.
They had no more fighting spirit and fled in a panic.
Zong Shen ignored them; they were merely small fry.
His gaze was clear, eyes unwavering.
His sight remained fixed on Evans.
"Cunning fellow."
"You can't escape."
Zong Shen murmured, sending a shiver down the demonized Evans's spine.
Even though he was the demon…
Now, he feared a human…
To demons, humans were like pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep.
The feeling amused and humiliated him.
...
Years ago, he was ambushed by more than a dozen elite fifth-tier Moon Shadow Creed assassins of the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance and a master-level thief.
He ultimately fell tragically, and the Fallen Shadow Demon's camp was destroyed.
Only a portion of the wandering soul turned into a Fallen Shadow Core, slumbering in the camp's ruins.
Over thousands of years, Piloya Village was built on the camp's remains.
This village was located south of Boss Bang.
By chance, it was unintentionally awakened by the villagers.
Having slept for years, it wouldn't miss the opportunity to return to the world.
It chose a teenager of sixteen or seventeen, seized his body, and started a massacre.
Absorbing their life force to strengthen its wandering soul.
At that time, the young Evans happened to be passing through Piloya Village with his merchant fleet.
Evans happened to have a small bottle of holy water from the Holy Light Temple.
He poured the holy water over the boy's body, now being controlled.
The powerful holy water repelled the demon power, causing the boy's body to sizzle and crisp. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Skin and muscle suffered severe damage from the clash of forces.
Eventually, the Fallen Shadow Demon wandering soul chose to leave the boy's body.
This boy later became Isidore, the butler who has followed Evans ever since.
As the wandering soul left Isidore's body, it reached towards Evans.
Initially, it rejected the frail human body.
For it was a great overlord-level demon.
Responsible, as the head of the Fallen Shadow Demon Assassin Group attacking Azshara in the Blood Burning Legion.
It, Shadow Wound·Athery·Sasum, was an undisputed overlord!
In those days, it led the Fallen Shadow Demon Assassin Group against the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance among the indigenous people through multiple skirmishes.
Causing severe losses to the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance.
It was once listed as one of the must-kill targets by the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance.
Regular Fallen Shadow Demons, as assassins, equaled fourth-tier indigenous assassins in power.
Using cunning and varied stealth techniques, they often had the upper hand.
This one, possessing Evans's body, was notorious.
As an overlord-level Fallen Shadow Demon, and practiced for years in the Blood-Burning Demon's dimension.
The demon race, like dragons and the undead, were relatively indifferent to the passage of time.
Though their power grew slowly, they lived long lives.
With the addition of various demonic traits, its power far exceeded that of the more orderly-aligned indigenous people of this world.
It has, more than once, used its sharp claws to decapitate high-ranking members of the resistance.
And ravaged countless beautiful female warriors of various races.
In those days, it was a god of killing that instilled dread across battlefields.
The Fallen Shadow Demon was extremely lascivious and brutal.
Especially since it was an overlord-level one.
Now, it only had about one-third of the wandering soul left.
Having to share a body with Evans.
The most frustrating part was, despite its efforts to assert dominance.
Most of the time, its wandering soul was suppressed by the Soul-Calming Potion Soup.
Occasionally, it could demonize Evans, plunging him into endless lust.
Satisfying the Fallen Shadow Demon's maniacal desires.
Despite finding this life stifling, it allowed him to continue existing somewhat.
Yet now, his keen demon instinct told him.
The human before him, wielding a damaged greatsword, could indeed kill it entirely!
Killing here meant not just eliminating its human body, but completely obliterating its wandering soul.
Though constrained by the body, it couldn't sense more information.
But it had already decided to escape.
Zong Shen, however, had no concern for its origin from thousands of years ago.
To him, the demon's wandering soul was just a snack.
Before the golden mark before him started flickering again, he once more entered the Time Stop state!
