"Captain, things are getting worse ! If left alone the child can..." Said the female adventurer sorcerer who approached Helos.
"I know, but how do we separate them ?! The lion was too strong and alert, and Ace could not be controlled either" replied Helos who was still thinking of a plan.
"Yes, captain... You are right !" That woman's law.
The fight between Ace and the ice lion is getting heated up, the defense of the ice lion is so tight continued to be attacked by Ace with strings attached. Occasionally Ace is thrown because of a counterattack from the ice lion. He stood up and attacked again.
"Slaassh !"
"Shriink..."
"Groooarr !"
Ace is thrown again due to an ice lion attack. He fell not far from Helos' great sword lying to his left. Without thinking, he took the sword. "What does he want to do ?" The adventurous woman's voice pointed towards Ace.
"Gosh, maybe he wants to wear my sword !" Reply Helos surprised.
"Well, where could the captain be ? As far as I know no one can use two different types of weapons !" Say the woman back.
"What we know is that. But we don't know about this kid, maybe he can" Helos replied in awe.
Ace held the great sword, and stuck the tip onto the altar floor. He then stood staring at the ice lion furiously. Instantly, the four shadows were also seen silently staring at the ice lion.
The black aura again enveloped Ace's body, suddenly looking like a wisp of black smoke in the left hand of the four shadows. Instantly the wisp formed a large black sword.
"God, even his shadow was also mimicking what the child was holding !" The witch's woman. "Woah, boy look at that boy ! This is a very rare event..."
"Yes, I also just saw this great ability for the first time. According to the rumors, there are not many adventurers with the ability to manipulate shadows like this" Helos said in awe.
"Grooaarr !"
"Wuuzzz..."
The ice lion who felt threatened then blew his cold breath towards Ace and his four shadows. A burst of cold wind formed a wave of ice thorns on the altar floor. The sharp ice spines headed towards Ace quickly, then the two shadows of Ace thrust their great swords onto the altar floor.
"Boomm..."
They resisted the attack of the ice thorns, then Ace jumped over both shadows. And he immediately thrust the great sword towards the ice lion.
"Yeah...!"
"Kraakk !"
"Roaar !"
The ice lion again made an ice shield to withstand the attack from Ace. And it looks like the big sword was stuck in the ice shield of the ice lion. "Eh ?! Look captain, your sword was stuck in the ice shield" said the female adventurer earlier.
"Yes, I saw it too... I didn't think he actually used my sword. Even with one hand !" Reply to the increasingly amazed Helos.
"Grooaarr !"
"Hee... Feel my attack ugly lion !" Ace.
The other two shadows, each attacking from the side of the ice lion. They simultaneously slashed his greatsword into the ice lion's body. Knowing that, the ice lion took a step back to dodge the attack of the two shadows.
"Slaassh !"
"Shriink..."
"Roaarr !"
"Captain, this fight will not be over... And it could be worse !" Said the half-wolf male adventurer who approached Helos.
"Yes, I know... But I also have no plans. We can only wait for help to come" Sahut Helos tried to calm down.
Meanwhile, the ice lion appears to be very careful to face Ace and his four shadows. Their fight was not yet over, the ice lions re-attached the horses to attack. And followed by Ace and his four shadows who also prepared the horses to attack.

On top of one of the towers in the city of Eleanor, the mysterious girl is seen opening her black book. At first glance, a smile appeared on the face of the girl, then she began to read a spell written in the book.
"From the abyss of darkness... Cover the earth with emptiness ! From behind the dawn... Rise up the creatures that inhabit the darkness ! Come o, o... Shadow warrior !" Say the girl out loud.
Instantly a large enough magic circle appeared in Eleanor's sky. And from within the circle shone a golden light. Along with the light, the wind in Eleanor again blew.
Then came a black cloud covering the sky at Eleanor. And from behind the shadow in the corner of the city, came the shadow soldiers. They stormed the city and caused panic throughout Eleanor.
"Rato ! Bad news...!" Said a waiter who looked panicked. He entered the queen's room in a hurry, and with a faltering breath.
"What's the waiter ? Calm yourself, and tell me what happened !" The queen calmly. The reddish-haired woman stood up and approached the servant girl.
"Groom my queen ! Eleanor is being attacked by the shadow soldiers !" Answer the waiter.
"Shadow soldier ? Where could it possibly... Where did they come from ?" The queen was shocked to hear the news. "Have you asked for help from the mercenary alliance ?" The queen immediately headed towards the balcony in the room.
"It's your highness, they quickly restrained the shadow soldiers. And assisted by the royal army !" Reply to the waiter.
"Good ! Always monitor the situation outside, and quickly report anything that happens in Eleanor" said the queen ordered.
"Your Majesty, excuse me first..." The maid then immediately left the queen's room.
"Chk, what's the matter with this !? What really happened !?" The queen muttered as she looked at the city of Eleanor from the balcony of one of the royal palace towers.
Seen on the streets of the city many adventurers tried to face the invading shadow warriors. But without them knowing, the shadow soldiers turned out to have other abilities. When the adventurers caught their guard, they quickly possessed the bodies of the adventurers.
Adventurers with weak souls would be easily possessed by shadow warriors. Then they will become the new bodies of those shadows. "God... Look at them !" Said one of the royal troops.
"We can't let them mess up any more ! Hold all those shadow warriors, as well as those who are already possessed by those shadows !" The other royal forces.
"Truely, we must not let them mess up in this city of Eleanor !" Shouted a woman with her big axe.
The brown-haired lady quickly jumped towards the crowd of shadow warriors, and smashed her axe towards the ground. Instantly raises a wave of vibration to make the surrounding land upside down. The attack knocked out all the shadow soldiers who were there.
"Kraaakk !"
"Boomm"
"Guushh !"
"He is ?! ...Miss Aeria !! ...The assassin axe, from the mercenary alliance !" Said a royal troop amazed at Aeria's ability.
"Well... This is not a worthy opponent for me !" Aeria said as she pulled her big axe from the ground.
