Strictly speaking, the Octopus King was a size larger than the Shadow God. Yet despite the Octopus King pulling with all his strength, the Shadow God remained motionless, as though glued to the ground.
Four of the Octopus King's tentacles coiled tightly around the Shadow God, while the other four stretched taut. His entire body lay outside Dawn City as he tried to use his own weight to drag the Shadow God down into the water.
The Shadow God merely drove both claws into the ground like a pair of iron clamps, anchoring himself firmly in place. He was even forcibly dragging the Octopus King along as he crawled step by step toward a certain location in the city.
Mu You had already noticed that the direction this enormous Shadow Fiend was so desperate to reach seemed to be the entrance to the Dungeon.
It wanted to enter the Dungeon?
What was in the Dungeon that could attract it?
The moment the question arose, Mu You recalled what Son of Heaven had told him: beneath the Dungeon's lowest floor lay a mysterious space containing something that could reveal the "truth."
Now it seemed that this thing was probably the reason the Shadow God of Shadows had flown to Sky City...
Whatever that thing was, it had been left behind by the Fool Ancestor and was extremely important to their entire race. As City Lord, Mu You certainly could not let it succeed.
While the Shadow God was entangled with the Octopus King, Mu You immediately leaped up. Spiral Cannon Barrels appeared over both hands, firing a dense barrage of bullets at the shadowy figure ahead.
Yet before he could finish even one volley, almost the instant he opened fire, Mu You suddenly felt countless wounds appear all over his body.
