Chapter 1969: Chapter 1057: Pursuit

At the same time, Lis at the alley’s entrance paid no heed to the shocked emotions of the people behind him.

His gaze fell back with interest on the mottled wall ahead.

Though the giant shadow web was shattered, a weak shadow still crawled slowly in the depths of the wall.

Compared to its previous ferocious state, the shadow now appeared significantly weakened.

Its aura was faint, its movements slow, yet it stubbornly clung to the wall, not fully dissipated.

Combining all the investigation intelligence Cole had sent back earlier, Lis instantly clarified all the doubts.

He raised his hand to conjure a soft illumination spell, the warm white light precisely covering the wall.

Under the magic radiance, the shadow instantly vanished without a trace, completely invisible to the naked eye.

But as the magic radiance faded and the real twilight’s afterglow was cast upon it, the shadow hidden in the void reappeared.

At this point, Lis completely understood the crux of the problem.

This uncanny shadow could hide under spell detection, only revealing itself in natural light.

This was the real reason why everyone had searched the entire city for so long yet could not lock onto its trace or find anomalies.

Lis stepped forward, gently placing his right hand on the cold wall, his palm precisely covering the flickering shadow.

In an instant, the shadow on the wall violently trembled, filled with extreme fear and panic, desperately trying to flee and escape into the void. However, the invisible rule power Lis had quietly spread already firmly sealed the entire area. No matter how the shadow struggled and collided, it remained tightly confined with no way to escape.

After a moment of silence, Lis’s eyes slightly narrowed, and his right hand suddenly thrust forward.

A bizarre scene abruptly unfolded—his hand directly penetrated the wall as if being completely devoured by the pitch-black shadow, and disappeared without a trace.

The shadow on the wall suddenly churned and stirred violently, black fragments continuously bursting and floating, emitting faint struggling auras.

After a few breaths.

Lis forcefully exerted his right arm, suddenly pulling fiercely backward!

Accompanied by a soft spatial tremor, a slender and weakened figure was yanked out of the dark shadow restraint by him.

It was none other than Yor, who had been trapped for so long and was on the verge of falling into deep unconsciousness.

She was feeble, her aura weak, her brows and eyes tightly shut, surrounded by a faintly sinister chill, barely able to stand on her own.

Lis gently guided with his raised hand, a gentle space power cradling Yor, allowing her to land softly and float steadily before Cole.

Cole hurriedly reached out, cautiously taking the frail Yor into his embrace, protecting this regained figure firmly.

Rescued from the shadow’s clutches, she remained deeply asleep-like in a comatose state.

Yor’s eyes remained shut, her long eyelashes still, showing no signs of waking.

And her body appeared tainted by darkness, shrouded in a faint black shadow that subtly enveloped her skin and clothing.

The once neat attire had lost all vibrant hues, darkly blending almost into the surrounding darkness, with the skin losing the luster of normalcy, presenting an eerie shadowy dead silence.

At this moment, Yor was in a strange state of partial transformation.

Both her body and spirit seemed to be subtly transforming towards the shadow’s origin, as if about to dissolve entirely into the darkness, becoming a part of this eerie shadow.

The shadow power attached to her was not ordinary, devoid of a violent aura yet possessing pervasive corrosiveness, silently eroding her life’s essence, making her existence increasingly ephemeral.

Lis’s gaze was calm, firmly fixed on the weakly breathing Yor, with no ripple of expression on his face.

He slowly raised his right hand, soft and sacred microglow flowing gently from his palm, a thin yet incredibly pure radiance falling lightly upon Yor’s nearly colorless body.

Different from the turbulence and sharpness of magic power, this radiance carried the rule power Lis held, gentle yet immensely authoritative.

This rule power, like a warm sun melting winter snow, slowly traversed Yor’s body.

The invisible rule power surged layer by layer, methodically suppressing and devouring the shadow power entrenched on her body, gradually peeling away the strange dark erosion.

The faint black shadow tightly adhering to her physique gradually dissipated and disintegrated under the rules radiance’s purification, and her pallid skin began to regain its color.

Even the color of her clothing slowly returned to its original appearance, the terrifying half-shadow transformation state being fully halted.

With the last trace of shadow fragments completely purified by rule power, Yor’s breathing gradually stabilized, and her faint life aura evened out, thoroughly escaping danger.

After properly settling Yor, Lis paid no attention to the people not far behind with Cole.

At this moment, Cole still bore a traumatized look, standing quietly in place, not daring to rashly approach and disturb.

Everyone’s attention was captivated by the anomalous change ahead, while Lis’s mind was entirely focused on the swirling black shadow ahead, the surrounding air seemingly turning cold and stagnant due to the shadow’s presence.

Ever since Lis forcibly rescued Yor from the shadow’s erosion, the black shadow entrenched there had plunged into violent agitation.
