"ARGH! SHADOW DOME!!!" Gradil angry shout is heard.

"What is this!?" Alan exclaimed.

- You have been affected by the skill: Shadow dome.

-50% speed.

-50% perception.

Alan and the group are all at a severe disadvantage right now, because in this place, Gradil has the highest advantage, while they are at a very severe disadvantage right now.

"Since we have come this far, we will try our best to win" Lonnie_barrar announced his stance.

"I am also not going back as the loser!" Chocobeast shouted.

"Then who will go back as a loser, I the great and might Booklovingwriter is not going back without a trophy, I must kill this beast and avenge my friend"

Booklovingwriter said, one of his hand is holding the wine gourd while the other is holding his magic staff.

"You will all die in here, no one among you will leave here alive. Since you are here against all the warnings I gave you, then naturally your only outcome is DEATH!"

"Show yourself, you damn coward!" Booklovingwriter taunted.

When Gradil spoke earlier, what confused all of them is that the place is very dark and the voice is coming from all of the directions.

Gradil is really having the best time of his life and is casually speaking to them every now and then.

It seems during this time, he is using the dome of shadows to recover his health and empowered himself again.

"This is where you fall!"

As Gradil shouted many tentacles lash out at them and in an extremely fast speed.

SWOOSH!!!

Shhh

Booklovingwriter's powerful fireball illuminated the black dome and the shadows are destroyed.

"There he is!"

The shadows are crawling back and replenishing themselves, the most shocking thing is Gradil is now much bigger than before and his aura also release a completely different feeling of danger.

Swoosh

Alan did not hesitate and charge at a fast speed towards Gradil.

"YOU IMPUDENT BRAT!" Gradil did not back down from the fight and also increase his speed wanting to clash head on with Alan.

"Be careful!" Alan heard his teammates worried voice and nodded his head but he still did not back down and continue charging at the now enlarge Gradil.

Swoosh

Alan's sword strike made a sound as if cutting and splitting the air!

"DIE!"

As Gradil swing his hand many shadow tentacles erupted and charge towards Alan.

Alan's Throat Sealer seems to be unstoppable as it bring with it and unfathomable emperor's might and cut down everything in his path!

"WHY WOULD YOU NOT DIE!?"

At this point Gradil seems to have completely lose his mind and one of his sharpens and encased in a shadow gauntlet.

Swissss

The Throat Sealer and Gradil's fortified arm clashed with each other.

Alan's unstoppable Throat Sealer release a terrifying killing intent and automatically activated the skill called, Killer's intimidation!

Right now, the sowrd is coated in black purplish hue, it is all void energy that is ready to turn everything in its path into nothingness!

"This suffocating aura!" Luna is the weakest among them and she is the first to feel the intense pressure.

"What is this power!" Lonnie_barrar also felt the pressure.

"This suffocating aura!" Even the drunk mighty Booklovingwriter felt it.

"ARGH!"

Gradil is startled for a while and Alan's Throat Sealer slash at his hand.

Something is flying freely in the air and it caught the attention of everyone!

Surprisingly, the flying projectile is Gradil's hand!

When everyone including Gradil look at where Gradil's arm is suppose to be and they find out that the arm is thoroughly and cleanly slashed!

"HOW DARE YOU!"

Seeing his arm cut and he also try to regenerate it but find out that surprisingly it is not regenerating.

That is because of the lingering Void energy on the wound!

Alan had never thought that the Void energy can be use like that, after all this is nothingness whatever is used, the Void will devour it.

Right now, everyone is helpless at this point, Alan has made a crucial mistake that a trained professional sword man is not supposed to make.

While striking, Alan put all of his body on this strike and now he is in an awkward position right now.

"This is the time to DIE!" Gradil shouted.

He brought back his other unharmed hand planning to end this puny human in one strike, end him once and for all.

His hand had already sharpen to the point that it look like a blade and he brought it down, with this he can behead Alan and end him once and for all.

"NO!" Luna shouted from behind but she can not do anything as a healer.

"More speed!" At this point Lonnie_barrar has already come out of the shadows and is sprinting with all he got.

"Hang on for a bit!" Chocobeast shouted as he activated his shield bash.

"Dude! Hold on!!!" Booklovingwriter is busy casting many spells at Gradil.

At this point, Gradil is so determined to end Alan's life that he no longer cared for himself or his safety but the only thing he is so focused on is the destruction of Alan!
