Chapter 9: The Gaze of the Lord of Shadows

Tim is a chosen one, the chosen one of the Lord of Shadows, and the agent of the Lord of Shadows in this world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Tim was just an ordinary thief living at the bottom of Thorn City. During one of the thefts, Tim accidentally misses and is sent to the gallows.

The afternoon sunset and the noose around his neck are Tim's last memories. But when Tim opens his eyes again, he finds himself alive unscathed and in a special world.

Tim thought he had come to the kingdom of God.

Tim's belief in the Lord of Shadows was not devout, but in the face of death and miracles, he prayed like a devout believer, praising the Lord of Shadows from the bottom of his heart.

Then the Lord of Shadows literally answered Tim's prayer!

Under the instructions of the Lord of Shadows, Tim realizes that he is dead and has become a Chosen One, participating in a "War of the Chosen One". If you win the war, you will have the opportunity to touch the supreme god!

This is a brutal war with an unknown number of participants, and all participants must eliminate the remaining participants and kill all the "Time Monsters (the Lord of Shadows' way of calling the player)" in order to achieve victory.

It's been a long war.

With Tim's weak strength, he has no power to resist in such a brutal war! But fortunately, the Lord of Shadows didn't abandon Tim.

Under the direction of the Lord of Shadows, Tim found a temple of the Lord of Shadows in the city. After some set-up, and with the help of the Temple, Tim managed to gain the favor of the Lord of Shadows and become a powerful Phantom Assassin - and also have the status of "Chosen One".

The powerful power made Tim full of confidence, and the originally humble thief gradually became confident, and began to quietly assassinate those time monsters (players) under the instructions of the Lord of Shadows, and collect [Time Power].

As the elect of the Lord of Shadows, Tim is undoubtedly powerful! Those weak Time Monsters (players) couldn't dodge Tim's assassination at all, but they gained very little [Time Power], so Tim turned his mind to the other contestants of the "Chosen War".

As long as you can kill other participants, you will immediately receive a full copy of [Time Power]!

And just then, Tim discovers that a new "contestant" has entered the arena. Before the "contestant" could figure out the situation, Tim tried to assassinate him......

It was Tim's first taste of defeat since he became a voter.

And that defeat made Tim finally start to face himself and his opponent - he wasn't the only lucky one! All the contestants have gods behind them to support them in secret!

This discovery caused Tim to panic. Because Tim found out that among the contestants there was a guardian knight of the god of protection! That's the Assassin's nemesis!

As a believer in the Lord of Shadows, when facing a guardian knight of the god of protection, he naturally would not be stupid to carry out an assassination.

After a series of alliances, Tim contacted a group of people and managed to sneak up on the electorate of the Earth Goddess, the God of Protection, the Goddess of Nature, and the God of Light, and the Guardian Knight died at the hands of the Demon Warlock in order to cover the departure of his teammates.

The head of the Guardian Knight was snatched by the Demon Warlock, and during the battle, Tim managed to sneak up on the follower of the God of Light and gain a full copy of the Power of Time.

That complete copy of the [Power of Time] not only strengthened Tim's Noble Phantasm again, but also allowed Tim to gain a special ability - Tim gained the ability to cast [Time Stop].

A [power of time] is obviously not enough to satisfy Tim. So at the end of the battle, Tim didn't hesitate to sneak up on the Demon Warlock!

The Demon Warlock kills the Guardian Knight and gains a copy of the [Power of Time], plus what he owns, then it means that he has at least two complete copies of the [Power of Time]! And because of the previous battle, the demon warlock was in a state of lack of magic power at this time. Such a good opportunity, if he didn't sneak up on him, Tim felt that he might as well stop being an assassin and turn to a paladin!

Tim wasn't going to be a paladin. So Tim made the decision to sneak up on the demon sorcerer.

Tim's sneak attack didn't go well. Because after Tim activated [Time Stop], he found that Temew couldn't move in the state of [Time Stop]!

Tim's sneak attack went very well. This is because you can't move when time stops, but you can think and prepare skills and spells. So when [Time Stops] ended, Tim successfully launched a shadow raid, piercing the heart of the demon warlock with a sword.

Kill with one hit!

However, in the next second, the Demon Warlock was instantly resurrected as if going back in time, and returned to his full state!

It wasn't until later that Tim realized that after everyone gained the power of time, they gained different abilities - Tim gained the ability to cast Time Stop, while the Demon Warlock gained a different ability.

Tim escapes from the spell of the demon warlock in great disarray, while also announcing the breakdown of the alliance.

After the breakdown of the Alliance, all the "contestants" began to guard against the other contestants, and spent most of their time hiding in the temple, making it difficult to assassinate. So Tim started to focus on those time monsters (players).

The Time Monster also has [Time Power], although it is not as good as the contestants, but it adds up, as long as the number increases, it can still allow itself to gain new time ability.

Today, Tim, as always, hides in the urban shadows of Cap Town, waiting for the right prey. Then Tim sees a time monster traveling alone......

Golden opportunity!

Time monsters are not weak, if you encounter a group of time monsters, Tim does not dare to rush up easily - most time monsters are not afraid of death, and are very good at fighting, and there are many strange props and abilities, one is not careful, the hunter may become prey! Therefore, a lonely time monster like this is Tim's favorite.

To Tim's surprise, the time monster was so alert that it was aware of his gaze. And it seems that he has also discovered himself!

As the Chosen One of the Shadow Lords, he was discovered. This made Tim feel a little ashamed, and what made Tim even more angry was that after discovering him, the time monster not only did not run away directly, but left a trap to ambush himself!

This is a provocation!

Looking at the time monster hiding in the corner in a daze, Tim felt a little funny.

As one of the chosen ones, Tim felt the need to educate the time monster and make him understand the fate of hubris!

Tim admits that the time monster is very strong, and has a lot of strange abilities and items, but this is not a problem - the sneak attack combined with the absolute power disparity, Tim feels that he has a big advantage.

……

Then Tim died.

Two complete copies of the [Power of Time] fell into Grimm's hands.

Green carefully observed the system, studying the new class he had just acquired, the legendary class [Time Guardian].

Under normal circumstances, the Legendary class requires Level 20 of Transcendent to be transferred, and Grimm is obviously not up to the standard now, but he has gained some limited Legendary abilities.

――――

Time Keeper (Pseudo) Level 2

Time Stop: You can perform Time Stop with a standard move. Reuse this skill must be done at 5d4 intervals.

Time Jump: You can break away from the timeline and jump to a point in time in the future (2d10 round) during which you are not in the world.

――――

This is a "pseudo" legend, and Green did not get the attribute bonus of the [Legend] level, but simply obtained some special abilities that can only be possessed after being legendary.

"Time stop and time jump?" Green touched his chin, "Pretty good ability." ”

I won't talk about it when time stops. The Archmage's BUG ability, the Archmage who mastered the time stop and the Archmage who did not master the time stop are completely two creatures! As for time jumping, it's also very useful for running for your life.

"A round" refers to a period of 6 seconds. Disappear in the main plane within the time of 2d10 rounds, which means that you can disappear from the time stream for more than ten seconds!

It wasn't long, but it was enough to keep Green out of a lot of danger.

After taking a look at his new career, Green turned his attention to his job.

Green's mage level directly "jumped" by one level. This is a very terrifying range, under normal circumstances, it would take at least several years to move up to level 1, and even if Green had the memories of his previous life, it was impossible to reach level 2 in just a few months. But in this particular "battlefield", Green just killed a "contestant" and directly promoted to one level.

I have to admit that "Divine Grace" really "cheats" - as long as there are gods who are willing to pay the price and help you open, it is not a problem to directly let a person rise to a legend. Compared to "Divine Grace", the player's exaggerated upgrade speed is nothing.

After the Gold Level, each level you can choose to "upgrade (obtain)" your own Noble Phantasm or try to "transform" a new Noble Phantasm.

Upgrading the Noble Phantasm is to upgrade the original Noble Phantasm, and if you don't have a Noble Phantasm, you may "get" the Noble Phantasm. And the so-called "transformation" of a new Noble Phantasm refers to the direct transformation of other ownerless Noble Phantasms into one's own Noble Phantasm.

If it is on the main plane and his collection is still there, Green will definitely choose to "transform" the treasure. Because Grimm even has the object he wants to transform - the summoning magic book found in the labyrinth of El Dorado.

But because of the Shadow Demon King, Green is now destitute! Today, Grimm has very few options - either upgrade his Magic Mirror network, or he can only convert the newly acquired "Shadow Boots" into his own treasure.

For the Assassins, that Boots of Shadow was a great Noble Phantasm! But for a mage, it's a blank slate!

Shadow raid? Green admits that the skill is powerful. But I'm a mage, who am I going to raid!? If you have that kung fu to launch this treasure, it's better to stop the time directly + disarm the magic to remove the space lock + teleport spell to escape!

Transforming this thing doesn't help at all except to get yourself a "boot that never rots"!

"Can you only upgrade the Magic Mirror network?" After a brief hesitation, Green sighed and put his boots away, ready to use them as rewards to fool the player into his own service.

If you upgrade an existing Noble Phantasm, you don't need to do anything from Green. After upgrading, if Green does not "bind" other Noble Phantasm, then the Natal Phantasm will naturally be upgraded.

Green put away the Phantasm and loot and put on a stealth and anti-detection spell for himself, and then Green began to walk towards Tim's hiding place.

Green needed to check the Assassin's lair and see if he could find any clues.

Green had some not-so-good guesses as to why the assassin had attacked him.

After Green's resurrection, he has been impersonating the player, and there is only one person who knows Green's identity as a "true fan of time", and that is Mitchell! At the same time, most of Green's intelligence also came from Mitchell, so Green couldn't help but have some not-so-good associations with this sneak attack.

"Mother Earth and the Lord of Shadows are secretly in collusion?" Green couldn't help frowning slightly.

The gods would never act contrary to their own "laws". Although the relationship between the followers of the Lord of Shadows and the followers of the Mother Earth is not harmonious, there is no conflict of rules between the two gods, so theoretically the two ...... Two gods can work together in secret.

This speculation made Green feel a little uncomfortable!

In Green's opinion, if that is the case, he may have to be careful.

To confirm his suspicions, Green felt compelled to examine the Assassin's lair to see if he could find any clues or evidence.

Soon, Green entered the room where he had noticed the anomaly.

In the houses. Some NPCs stand like decorations in the house, allowing Grimm to enter and exit the house.

In the house, Green found no useful clues. But Green found a small altar in the basement!

The owner of this house actually believes in the Lord of Shadows and has built an altar to the Lord of Shadows in the basement!

"I see, that's why the assassin is based on it?" Green stood in the basement, looking up at the black altar and the emblem floating above it.

The emblem looks like a black silk mask. Because of the [Heart Eye] skill, Green felt a feeling of peeping from the position of the mask's eyes!

"Hello, Lord of Shadows, it's a pleasure to meet you." Green saluted at the emblem.

The emblem didn't react, but the feeling of being watched didn't go away.

Green has a lot of trust in his [Heart's Eye] skills, so Green doesn't think that feeling of being watched is his own delusion.

The Lord of Shadows is not a "good" deity. After the death of the only believer, the Lord of Shadows, who likes intrigue and trickery, actually didn't react? This is obviously not normal!
