Chapter 10: The Shadow Realm
This is a monotonous world that only leaves black and white, after entering this world, Claudia has automatically transformed into Valkyrie's form, her clothes in the spirit form have been replaced with Valkyrie's unique armor, and the original golden wings have also turned pale after entering the shadow realm.
According to the memories obtained in the inheritance, this is the surface of the Shadow Realm, where the outer world is called.
The outer world is more like a projection of the present world, where mountains, rivers, and buildings in the real world have the same black and white image, and the originally lush forests around Claudia are all withered here, bare only tree trunks. The air was filled with a gray mist, making it impossible to see too far.
Unlike the bustling world, there is a quiet silence here, as if there are no living beings.
However, in addition to the wandering dead, there are still living beings here.
A long arm peeked out of the depths of the mist, as if it had no bones, and grazed the side of Claudia's face.
A waddling giant covered in hair and with only one giant one-eyed face roamed aimlessly.
Not far away, you can vaguely see a few thin legs densely packed underneath, but above it seems like a giant tadpole creature crawling farther away.
These creatures all glow a faint, almost transparent white, looming.

There was footsteps behind her, and Claudia jerked back, but there was nothing behind her.
No, in addition to her own footprints, there was a row of tiny footprints on the pale earth, stretching from the depths of the mist in the distance to her feet.
Her heart suddenly fluttered, and in the next second, the spear of light and flame emitted a little white flame and appeared in her hand.
Don't be afraid, be strong-willed, do what you have to do, these "lives" cannot be connected with yourself.
Claudia silently admonished herself.
In the next second, the girl held a spear in her hand, and her face slammed straight into the slender arm in front of her. Then she walked past the arm without hindrance, as if it didn't exist.
Yes, the outer layer of the shadow realm is a very safe place, as long as you have enough energy and strong will, there is no danger to the silver powerhouses who have already undergone the first soul qualitative transformation here.
At present, the premise must be firm-willed, otherwise these virtual bodies will not be so harmless to humans and animals, and if they stay in the outer world of shadows for a long time, they will be unconsciously polluted by the shadow world, and once the entrant cannot stick to his original heart, he will be dragged into the inner shadow world of real horror by those beings.
Valkyrie's memory is that it is strictly forbidden to enter the inner shadow realm, and there used to be valkyrie who entered the inner shadow realm, but they have disappeared since then, and no one knows their whereabouts and fate. The work of seducing the warriors of the Viku is only to contact and wander in the present world and the outer shadow realm, and if the will of the soul does not hold on to the arrival of the Valkyrie, then it is not the object of Valkyrie's selection.
Pedal Pedal Ped
The being kept making footsteps, footprints walking side by side with her.
The blonde girl popped out of the word Sichuan on her forehead, and she held back the anger in her chest and continued to walk forward.
Pedal Pedal Ped
The footprints became more and more arrogant, and even walked in front of her and circled her with footprints.
"I'll stab you! Pierce you! The girl was completely furious, and raised the spear in her hand and stabbed it at the front of the footprints.
"Hahaha" a hearty smile came. "I can't believe that you are so energetic, Miss."
Listening to the somewhat familiar laughter, Claudia looked up, and James' Knight Captain, Armand, was smiling as he walked towards her from a withered tree.
His body is somewhat transparent, with occasional faint white dots of light flying out of his body, and each time a little white dot flies out, his figure becomes slightly more transparent.
"Mr. Armand, what about the others?" The girl put away her spear and hid behind her, trying to pretend to be a lady, and asked a little embarrassed.
"Your little squire and my men went deeper on the third day, and Shane's straight-faced fellow stayed with me for another two days before he left on his own initiative. Now I'm the only one left, and I'm still a little unwilling to stay here. Armand smiled wryly.
The girl's face darkened: "I'm sorry, Mr. Armand, I can't bring your soul back to the present world and bring the dead back to life, ......." ”
"Hey, hey, where do you want to go." Captain Armand hurriedly interrupted her,
"I have never held a grudge against dying in battle, I have fulfilled my oath of allegiance to the Sean family, and I have defended my lord to the last moment, and in this respect I have died. But--"
"It's a bit excessive," he scratched his head, and then said, "but if you can take care of my daughter for me, I always feel like an incompetent father." ”
Claudia solemnly agreed, and Armand described her daughter's appearance, address, etc.
"By the way, what about Segrina and Jaime?" Claudia asked hesitantly.
"Hmm~ They may have survived, I haven't seen them." Armand was also a little unclear.
The girl let out a sudden sigh of relief, thanking the Holy Light that they might still be alive.
She wanted to ask something more, but she saw that the speed of the light spots on the body of this bold man suddenly accelerated, and countless transparent little hands poked out from the depths of the fog and grabbed him and dragged him behind him, behind him, a big black hole was forming, she was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to this big man.
Armand stopped her with a wave of his hand
"Don't look any further, it's the real land of the dead."
"Thank you, I can finally feel at ease."
Humming an unknown song, he was slowly dragged into the big black hole.
The blonde girl stopped moving forward, watched him disappear, sighed, and turned to return to the present world.
At this moment, the sound of a conversation suddenly came from the black hole behind her.
"My lord, you've been waiting for me here." Armand's voice revealed a hint of disbelief.
"yes, how can I let my men fall behind, you see, Sean Edward, they and even Raven are waiting for you." It was Jaime's familiar voice.
Claudia turned her head away, looking at the black door in disbelief.
"My lord, Miss Claudia is still outside, won't you say goodbye to her?" Armand's voice came again
"Really, Claudia, are you outside?" There was a hint of disbelief in Jaime's voice.
"Hey, listen, dear Claudia, I love you and farewell, my love." He shouted hard.
"Goodbye, master, thank you for your continued teaching, I always appreciate you." This is Raven's childish voice.
"Claudia imp, take care of yourself after we leave, we'll see you forever," Segrina's playful voice came out.
And then there's the sound of turning.
"Don't go, I haven't said goodbye to you yet." The blonde girl couldn't control herself anymore and turned and rushed towards the black door.
She froze in the doorway, her upper body already poking in, but there were no Jaime and Raven here!
So where did the sound come from?
A large, sleek humanoid with its limbs twisted into strange shapes was facing away from her, no longer the phantoms, but white entities.
The huge figure seemed to feel her gaze, and its upper body twisted into a hundred and eighty degrees and turned around, its head tilted, and there were no other facial features on its face, only a huge mouth, which happily bent out of a ridiculous arc at the moment, and countless layers of sharp white teeth in its mouth shone brightly.
Its black upper body was full of white eyes, and it looked at Claudia in unison.
"No-!" Claudia suddenly felt a creep, flapped her wings and forcefully exited the black hole.
"Whew." She was on her knees panting violently, and the moment the monster looked at her, her whole body was a little out of control, as if it would twist into a strange shape in the next second.
Syllable!
A drop of black blood dripped on the ground.
Two lines of bloody tears flowed down his eyes.
A sudden chill came from her ankles, and Claudia resisted the discomfort and looked back.
A small black hand was wrapping around her feet.
Wait, black!
Only then did she realize that because her will had been crushed, her spirit could no longer concentrate, the entire outer world had been turned upside down, the entire sky had turned dark gray, and countless strange creatures had changed from faint and invisible shadows to dark black entities and moved towards her.
Pedal Pedal Ped
Dense black footprints were rapidly approaching her, and there was still nothing in the space above the footprints!
She endured her headache and stabbed the black hand with her spear.
"Back to reality!" She tilted her head to dodge a large hand with triangular claws, gritted her teeth and activated her abilities.
The next moment, her body disappeared into the black and white world.
"What the hell is that thing in the Inner World!" She slumped limply where she entered, one hand on the ground, the other covering her eyes.
In her previous life, she had never seen those phantoms and monsters in the game, could those monsters be the things to be encountered after death?
She thought back to the monster again, but found that just thinking about the monster's image began to go a little chaotic and crazy.
"Stop, stop." Claudia didn't dare to think again.
Bang bang bang.
Footsteps were heard.
The girl removed her right hand that covered her eyes, and her blue eyes were greeted by a pair of brown moccasin boots.
"Oops, although I haven't seen you for a few days, you don't have to kneel down and kiss your sister's boots as soon as you meet." A familiar playful voice came.
"It's great that you're alive, I thought you were dead." The blonde girl choked up and tried to get up.
Segrina walked up to her and sat down, took the blonde girl into her arms, and pulled a small transparent bottle out of her bosom with one hand.
"Look at your miserable appearance, it won't be another over-casting spell and prostration, fortunately, my sister still has a bottle of spiritual recovery potion made of Ning Shen Flower here."
Claudia, who was lying on Segrina's lap, was a little embarrassed and wanted to sit up, but she was gently pressed by the female elf before she recovered, and Segrina showed a narrow smile:
"Come, let my sister feed you the medicine." After speaking, he opened the medicine bottle and brought it to the girl's mouth.
Claudia no longer struggled, and her heart was warm, and she drank the medicine in small gulps with the medicine bottle gradually raised by the female elf.
As she finished drinking the medicine, her spirits quickly recovered a lot, and she lay quietly on the elf and enjoyed the elf girl's caress of her hair.
"Thank you, Sister Cylie." The knight girl, who was rarely taken care of, was a little moved.
"Well, you're welcome, I've been embarrassed to buy dolls since I grew up. Come, close your eyes and let my sister relive her girlhood again. Sally had a look of nostalgia on her face.
“-_-!!” Sure enough, the impression just now was all an illusion!!
After a long time, Claudia suddenly remembered, "By the way, where did Fura go?" ”
"Oh, you're talking about the gorilla." The elven ranger casually pointed into the distance, and a female Viku was fainting on the ground, without any injuries on her body. "I hit her with a stick before, maybe she fell asleep."
