Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2016

Was that the Shadow Men?

Wilbur was in the middle of debating who the figure was when his shadow on the way suddenly reached out to grab him by the neck. At the same time, his shadow on the ground stood up and grabbed both of Wilbur's feet to yank him to the ground.

Just as Wilbur fell to the ground, the shadow on the ground reached out and wrapped its arms around Wilbur, trying to yank his body downward. Wilbur struggled with all his might and every move he made only produced more shadows.

The new shadows would grab at his body once more, and there were a dozen pairs of jet-black hands within a matter of seconds. They grabbed Wilbur firmly with what seemed like unparalleled strength, trying to drag him into the darkness.

Wilbur chanted and cast the Illuminos spell, sending a ball of light above his head. It lit up the dark path at once, and the shadows seemed to shrink back into the wall and ground, trying to stay away from the light.

Wilbur's chest heaved as he sat up from the ground, and Stefan's voice rang in his head once more, "You're clever, but this is just the start."

"What?"

Wilbur looked confused, and Stefan said, "Not every shadow is afraid of light."

Stefan went silent after that again no matter how loudly Wilbur shouted. Wilbur had also snapped out of his brief triumph just now. After all, the Illuminos spell was an extremely simple spell. If that was all it took to scare the Shadow Men off, they would never be able to take over the Cave of Korst.

Wilbur thought back to what just happened and found it rather unbelievable that all he did was move, and every movement would create another pair of shadow hands, sometimes even a full body.
