"Chapter 334: The Power of Shadows"

I was transported to a somewhat dimly lit castle that was somewhat similar in style to a Western medieval castle, but with a more tribal style inside, a little rougher, and with a lot of magical features. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are many torches on the solid stone brick walls, and the flames on the torches are dark blue and dark purple, which is very eerie. In the light of the fire, the skeletal faces of the skeleton soldiers standing guard were clearly visible, and the equipment of these skeleton soldiers was somewhat similar to that of the royal skeleton guards, they all wore beautiful helmets and held broad shields, but the dark purple color scheme made them look much more intimidating than the skeleton guards.

Of course, in the face of me, the host, these skeleton soldiers looked very humble, bowing their heads slightly, expressing their respect for me. I should be in the castle hall now, at the very front of the hall, which resembles the throne, the light is even darker, and the torches are dark purple, which is so different in the castle hall.

"The undead admire your courage, the Shadows praise your wisdom, my lord, you have really piqued my interest."

A voice appeared in my head, so illusory, so ethereal, that I almost thought it was my own hallucination. But the figure that gradually appeared above the throne told me that all this was true, and that the owner of the voice was watching me.

"The Power of Shadows...... Do you feel it? The figure stood up, and gradually became clear.

It was a blue eye that was different from that of a witch, and in the darkness, it glowed with her own unique light. The dark blue robe fluttered slowly with the air, and what I was holding in my hand was not the claw staff I imagined, the claw was indeed there, but in the middle was a double-edged axe, a blue axe that flashed with a faint blue light, which made people feel timid when they saw it, and did not dare to take a step forward.

The black mist appeared, and the bats reappeared, flying indoors in groups, and the witch called the Night Witch also stretched out her hand, and a bat about the size of an ordinary bat suddenly turned into black mist and flew to her hand, and the bat that had caused me a lot of suffering before was as obedient as a chicken in front of her. And then I realized that behind her, there were always two bats floating in the air, flapping their wings, but not making a sound.

"My name is Arterina, the Night Witch. My lord, welcome to my castle, my kingdom. A black mist rose from beneath the night witch's feet, lifting her up from the ground and carrying her into the air. Although the Night Witch has always called me an adult, I think she seems to be the real leader in this sense.

"My lord, my majesty, whatever you should call you, you have the approval of the shadows, the respect of the undead, their power will bless you, and their power will be at your disposal."

After the Night Witch had said these words in that truly demonic language, she raised the bladed axe staff in her hand and swung it down in my direction, an unprecedented force came head-on, without giving me any chance to accept or resist, and poured directly into my body, at that moment, I seemed to have lost all feelings, only my thoughts were barely maintained.

It was a completely different feeling from elemental magic, it was a touch from the soul. When you can't feel all your senses, including breathing, this power still supports your body. This touch comes from the depths of the soul, this power comes from the other side of the world, in the endless darkness and nothingness, when a bridge is built between the human soul and the ocean of shadows of this world, people also have the ability to communicate with the shadows, call for the shadows.

I seem to have entered the world of the deceased, but I can only wander on the edge, this is not the real afterlife, but this is indeed able to communicate with the souls of the dead, these souls who do not want to die gather here, I can feel their call, I can feel their longing, I find that as long as I want, then these souls can return to the world of the living with white bones, although they will lose some of their intelligence and memory, but as long as they want, they can always survive outside, Know that the soul longs for rest when the bones finally turn to dust.

Darkness is not chaos, and shadows are not evil. All of this is a power from the origin of the world, but unlike the beautiful world full of light, the people of the shadows enjoy the cold and silent world more. The actions of the Holy See of Light have nothing to do with the truth of this world, darkness and light have always been interdependent and mutually exclusive, and they exist together in this world in a special way, and the interdependence of yin and yang is one of the origins of this world. They may have done something for the sake of religion, for the sake of the gods they believed in, believing that this was the greatest reward to the gods. This spirit is admirable, but it is not very correct. Money, land, power, these so-called beautiful things in the world are the biggest drivers of this difference between light and shadow in the human psyche. However, now that I understand the power of this power, and can use it, I also think that I will use this power to fight for those mundane things, which is really ridiculous, but also helpless.

The power melted into my body and gradually calmed down. This power is not that it will invade people's bodies and corrupt people's souls as advertised by the Holy See, but will become a bridge between the ocean of souls and the power of eyeshadow, so that I can communicate with the shadows at any time and use this power from the dark world.

I regained my instincts, and there was a wide bridge in the ocean of souls, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a light, an incomparably holy light, which shone on my body, but did not dissipate the shadow power in me, but intertwined with it and merged into my body. ''At the end of darkness is light.'' The Church of Shadows used this phrase to debate with the Holy See of Light, a maxim in their scriptures, and it seems to be quite true now.

When I woke up, I found myself falling from the sky to the ground, and the dimness of the castle was no longer a problem for me, and the somewhat chilling light did not frighten me. At this time, I can walk freely between light and shadow, and although I can't use the power of holy light, I still have a great improvement.
