Why did "White Wing Prince" do this
The answer is actually not difficult to guess, because compared to destroying the E-Team, he has a more important goal - to get Shinji.
After several rounds of confrontation, "Lord White Wing"'s opinion of Shinji changed a little with each round.
The first round of sneak attacks severely damaged Bai Yu and his followers. Bai Yi Gong just thought that this person was a fool. He knew of his existence, had such good hiding skills, and was carrying precious weapons that could restrain the dead apostles, but he didn't run away, but ran to cause trouble right under his nose. Isn't this deliberately asking for death
In the second round, he blocked his attack twice, buying time for his companions to retreat. "White Wing Lord" has a slightly higher evaluation, a strong fool. If he is not strong, he can't block him. As for the fool - in this world with a huge gap in combat power, anyone or any force knows the value of high-end combat power. If he were in Shinji's position, he would definitely abandon the E-Team, save himself, and find a chance to retaliate after escaping.
From this time on, "Prince White Wing" had the idea of making him his own follower.
In the third round, Shinji used his new magic weapon to break the white light of "White Wing Lord" and destroyed his followers who were lingering on nearby. From that moment on, "White Wing Lord" changed his goal. As long as he could get the person in front of him, the E-Team would leave.
With the racial advantage of the Dead Apostles, plus this man's fighting power and various strange weapons, a powerful Dead Apostle comparable to the 27 ancestors will soon be born, and more importantly, this Dead Apostle will be directly under his control. With his help, "White Wing Prince" will be able to gain the upper hand in the battle with his old rival Altuluchi, and even go further to become the true king of the Dead Apostles.
The fourth round of force suppression and the current fifth round of fighting were all attempts by "White Wing Lord" to achieve his goal. He wanted to defeat Shinji from all aspects, deprive him of his ability to resist, and then absorb his blood to turn him into his own brother.
The night was still long, and "White Winged Lord" had enough patience to accompany Shinji to slowly consume his energy. In terms of consumption, humans could never compare to Dead Apostles, whether in lifespan or endurance.
As time went by, the highly concentrated magic power in the body became less and less, and the light of the Command Seal closest to the right wrist gradually faded. Finally, after a brief burst of light, it completely dimmed, leaving only a faint scar.
At the same time, the violent fluctuations of magic power on Shinji's body also subsided, and Shinji's movements also slowed down.
To be on the safe side, "White Wing Prince" did not change tactics in a hurry, but continued to observe and confirmed that Shinji's enhanced state was indeed over. Only then did he end the fighting and launched a frontal offensive like a tiger descending from the mountain or a hawk catching a rabbit.
Without the strengthening of the Command Seals, Shinji dared not confront the "White Winged Lord" head-on, and immediately activated his flying shoes and fled everywhere.
The ambitious King of the Dead Apostles did not rush anything. He just hung slowly behind Shinji, occasionally launching a few invisible slashes, which could not only consume Shinji's physical strength and magic power, but also control the escape direction of his prey.
No matter how dilapidated it was, the town was still a human settlement, with many obstacles such as houses and walls. Just now, "White Winged Man" relied on these obstacles to consume the opponent's strength, and now he didn't want the opponent to use these obstacles in turn.
Under the constant pressure of "Prince White Wing", Shinji quickly crossed the entire town and came to the unobstructed hilly plain area outside the town.
Here, "White Wing Prince" can finally display his strength and skills to the fullest without worrying about the influence of the terrain.
Above the wilderness, an ancient dead apostle who looked nothing like a vampire was suspended in the air. The hazy moonlight shone through its pure white wings, casting a dreamy light and shadow on the ground.
The light and shadows kept rolling and changing, as if something was brewing.
The pure white feathers broke away from the wings and fell into the wonderful world constructed by light and shadow.
In an instant, light and shadow broke away from the concept of intangibility, transformed from virtual to real, as if they were given life.
No, they are simply given life.
The things born from the light and shadow were indeed living creatures, numbering about twenty or so. Some of them Shinji could name, but many more were strange monsters that he couldn't name, and didn't even conform to the laws of biological evolution.
Although they have different forms, they all have one common feature—all parts of their bodies except their eyes are white. This is the symbol of the "White Winged Prince" Tefam Ottenroche, and these monsters are his familiars.
The Dead Apostles' familiars and the Magician's familiars are similar but different. The similarities refer to their uses and functions, while the differences lie in their production methods.
The significance of blood-sucking to the Dead Apostles is not just like a living being taking energy from food, but there is a deeper reason. The Dead Apostles are just human bodies, and it is too difficult for that kind of body to be immortal. The genetic factors of their bodies, or more precisely, the container itself, begin to deteriorate rapidly the moment they become vampires. To make up for this, they need to constantly suck the blood of others, and maintain the stability of their own bodies by absorbing the genetic information of others into their own bodies.
For some Dead Apostles who have lived for a long time, ordinary human genetic factors are no longer suitable for repairing the body. Because the basic animal ability of humans is very poor, if it is used to repair the body, it is more efficient to absorb wild beasts, magical beasts, and fantasy beasts. For Dead Apostles who have absorbed wild beasts into their bodies, if necessary, they can restore the beasts to their original form. For example, now, "White Winged Lord" uses a feather and his own power to restore a group of familiars.
"Go." Following the master's order, the demons scattered away.
One of the wolf-shaped familiars appeared in Shinji's sight, and the latter shot a silver bullet, killing it.
But not long after, Shinji noticed the presence of another bird-shaped familiar, and also knew what Ottenroche was thinking - the King of the Dead Apostles regarded him as the most important prey.
This discovery made Shinji feel happy and worried. The good news was that since they regarded him as prey, the E-Team would probably be safe. The bad news was that it would be more difficult to escape.
If there were no servants roaming around, Shinji could just find a deserted place and use the invisibility effect of Hades' cloak to avoid the search of the "White Winged Lord" and escape easily.
But it's no longer possible now. No matter how advanced his invisibility is, it's impossible to erase all traces instantly. With his familiar watching, "Lord White Wing" can easily find Shinji's presence.
Don't forget, these familiars were separated from the body of "White Wing Prince". Their fighting power may not be strong enough, but they are one with their master and are equivalent to the master's eyes, ears, and hands and feet.
I have to find a way to get rid of these annoying eyes - but not now, at least in another 2 hours.
Shinji turned his head to look at the eye-catching white light source in the darkness, and continued to flee to the west.
