Chapter 2: Cultivating Shadow Magic
In Victor's notes, he gave names to the shadow creatures that could be tamed, the Shadow Beasts, presumably because they could be tamed and because they were more intelligent than animals. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And those shadow creatures that can't be tamed are often either too intelligent to be controlled, or too low intelligence to be tamed.
Shadow Beasts themselves are actually very fragile, and they can be killed by continuous exposure to bright lights, so they are completely useless during the day.
However, in the dim state of dawn or dusk, the shadow beast can still barely move, but the time when the shadow beast really plays its role is naturally at night, or in the dark cave and underground environment.
After taking control of a shadow beast and officially becoming a shadow mage, you can get a lot of perks.
The first is dark vision. Shadow mages can see in the dark, and they know it clearly.
It's a pity that this specialty has little effect on Xing Tianyu.
The second is dark affinity. When in the dark, the shadow mage will not feel fear in his heart, but will feel like a fish in water, and the specific effect is that he can quickly recover his physical strength and energy, and even heal his wounds.
However, these two abilities are basically passive effects, not shadow magic, and what can really be called shadow magic is recorded in the second half of the note.
The first, Darkness Absorption, absorbs the shadow energy in the surrounding darkness to strengthen the shadow beast in the body, so that it can quickly obtain or restore the shadow energy, using this ability, sometimes leaving a miserable white space without light and no shadow around, the space will be refilled by darkness or light in the following time, this spell is the basic ability of the shadow mage, almost no need to learn, the effect of the spell depends on the mental power of the shadow mage, and can be used repeatedly.
The second, the Shadow of the Overlay / Shadow Incarnation, covers the surface of the body with shadow energy, transforming itself into a special form of half-body and half-void, in this state, the Shadow Mage is immune to all physical attacks, and strong light will weaken or dispel the effect of the Shadow of the Overbody. If the mental power and the abilities of the shadow beast in the body are strong enough, you can advance the shadow of the body to a shadow avatar, and incarnate into a powerful shadow creature in a short period of time, which can use all the regular abilities of the shadow creature and have all the regular characteristics of the shadow creature.
The third, Dark Sneak/Shadow Escape, blends itself into the surrounding darkness, obtains an effect similar to stealth, only works in the dark, and the use of this ability will continue to consume shadow energy, if the mental power is strong enough and the ability of the shadow beast is strong enough, you can advance the darkness forward to shadow escape, you can hide in all darkness and shadows, even in the daytime, the brighter the light, the more shadow energy consumed.
The fourth, the Black Tentacle / Dark Whip, condenses the shadow energy into tentacles to wrap / attack the enemy, the black tentacles will directly affect the enemy's mental consciousness, so when a person is entangled by the black tentacles, they will often be unable to act, if the mental power is strong enough, the effect of the black tentacles can be further enhanced and it can evolve into a dark whip, and the attack of the dark whip can cause great damage to the human spirit, and even kill the enemy.
The fifth, Dark Cloud/Dark Sky, releases the shadow energy in the body, forming a dark area, obscuring the opponent's vision for a short time, this ability can be used during the day, but not only will the duration be shortened, but the use of this ability will cause a great weakening of the shadow beast. If the mental power and the ability of the Shadow Beast in the body are strong enough, it can be advanced to the Dark Dome, which covers a wider area, and enemies within the range of the Dark Dome will be afraid.
The sixth-Xing Tianyu flipped through the notebook vigorously and found that it was gone, and there were only five usable shadow spells recorded in the entire notebook.
This-this is too miserable, Xing Tianyu said in his heart that the so-called shadow magic is really pitiful, but fortunately, four of these five magic spells have advanced forms, although it seems that the power has only increased, but at least it feels like there is still some room for development.
Xing Tianyu didn't have to pick this one, and immediately began to learn the first magic - Dark Absorption.
He injected spiritual power into the shadow beast in his body as described in his notes, and the shadow beast immediately began to absorb the darkness around him, and in an instant, the shadow energy flowed into his body like a tide, and the entire living room suddenly turned into a miserable white color, with no light and no shadow, as if the picture of a black and white movie.
The shadow beast in his body is obviously not as weak as before, he can feel the excitement and activity of the shadow beast, very good, then he can use the real shadow magic next.
Shadow of the Overlay! With the cause of his mind, the shadow beast immediately released the shadow energy into Xing Tianyu's whole body, and merged with his body, Xing Tianyu felt that his body became light, as if half of a cloud was formed, he walked to the mirror, and inside the mirror, a pitch-black human figure was staring at him.
This shape reminded Xing Tianyu of the shadow man who sometimes appears as the background in some cartoons, but when this image appears in reality, it really doesn't look weird, he picked up a fruit knife on the table and slashed it on his arm, and the fruit knife passed directly through his arm, as if his arm did not exist, but Xing Tianyu could feel that when the fruit knife slashed through his arm, there was still a slight sense of obstruction, as if his arm was made of water.
However, he didn't feel any pain, and it seemed that he was able to achieve the effect of physical attack immunity, which was a good magic, at least in the future, he could basically be invulnerable to fighting people at night.
The physical attack has been tested, and the next thing is to test the magic attack, he picked up a flashlight and shone it on his arm, and immediately, he felt a burning pain in the place where the light was shining on his arm, and the darkness on the surface of his body quickly melted away like melting snow, but the darkness in other parts of his body immediately filled in.
It has been shining for a few seconds, and it still doesn't seem to be completely dispelled, but the darkness on his body has faded a little, fortunately, it seems that he is not completely without resistance to magic.
Turning off the flashlight, he then came to the light switch again, turned on the light suddenly, and suddenly the light shone from all directions, this time it took almost less than two seconds, the darkness on his body was all dispelled, his skin looked red, as if it had been roasted by the fire, and there was a hot pain on his body.
It's a bit uncomfortable. Xing Tianyu grinned and thought, it seems that he can't do this anymore in the future.
Although his body was scorching and painful, Xing Tianyu was still extremely excited, this was the first time he could really use supernatural power anytime and anywhere, without eating magic apples or fear.
"Master, it looks like you've mastered the art of shadow magic." A voice suddenly rang out.
Xing Tianyu glanced up, but it was the head of Odas who spoke.
Since returning home, he has painted a layer of gold paint on Odas's head, and then put it on the writing desk as an ornament, by the way, he asked him for some knowledge about magic, but unfortunately it seems that he has no chance to learn arcane magic, according to Odas, the entire real world is a huge dry magic field, and there is no magic network to connect at all.
"You know shadow magic, too?" Xing Tianyu asked with some surprise, he thought that the other party only knew arcane magic.
"Of course, I traveled a lot around the world of Atlantis, and the dark elves who lived underground were very good at shadow magic, and I dealt with their mages, and they could use more shadow magic than you wrote in that notebook."
Xing Tianyu was overjoyed when he heard this, "Oh, then can you teach me?" ”
Odas's head shook as if he wanted to shake his head, but he finally gave up on this slave, "I'm afraid not, I don't have a deep understanding of shadow magic, because shadow magic and arcane magicians have completely different magic systems, and compared to arcane magic, shadow magic has too many restrictions and is too weak, so it is really not worth learning." ”
Xing Tianyu had a black line on his head, and said in his heart, Are you despising me?
However, he knew that Odas's head had no emotion at all, so it should only be an impression in his memory before his death, but he could also see that compared to the arcane magic, this shadow magic was simply frustrating, but unfortunately the arcane magic had no way to cultivate at all, otherwise with the head of Odas, with such a high spiritual power, maybe he could really become a dark archmage.
