If given a choice, Raven would rather Ellison continue to look down on him until Ellison died.

It's a self-soothing luxury.

What really comforted Raven was that he had gained experience in killing. I don't know if it's a kill with my own hands, so that the Shadow Festival can't steal all of Raven's experience, anyway, Raven received such a series of system prompts, in fact, because no one on Ellison's side is a professional assassin, so they didn't know what skills Raven used, and Raven used more than two skills just now:

"Because your soul has an extremely high affinity for shadow energy, you gain recognition for the shadow energy around your body. You can now temporarily use shadow energy without the shadow energy gauge open. The sum of your shadow energy depends on your shadow affinity, and the recovery rate depends on the density of the surrounding shadow energy. ”

"Your Temporary Shadow Energy is 365/365 and regenerates 10 points every five seconds."

"Thanks to the soul memories of your past life, you have gained the power of the Assassin's shroud. This dark magic from the shadows runs through your veins, polluting your soul, but it gives you the ability to clothe your enemies in invisible shrouds and expose their weaknesses. The more layers of shroud your target is wrapped in, the more deadly your blow will become. ”

"You put on an invisible shadow shroud for the Dark Guard."

"The shroud you put on your target has been stacked up to 4 layers. These shrouds last until you use this power or until the end of the encounter. Before you perform an attack check on a target, choose to activate all of them's shrouds or not at all (i.e. either strip naked or none at all). If you choose to activate the shroud, remove all shrouds from the target on hit and give 4d24 extra damage to each coat, and if you miss, you have no extra damage and minus one coat of shroud. These additional damages do not benefit from the attacker's damage bonus. ”

"You unleash the Shadow of the Must: you emerge from the shadow of your enemy, and before he can react, your blade has stabbed in. You deal 22 Sneak Attack damage to the target. ”

"You launched an assassin strike: you unleash the most precise attack at the most precise moment, instantly dealing an extra 45 points of critical damage."

"You choose to activate the shroud on all targets, which deals a total of 81 bonus damage to the target."

"Your dexterity with the dagger allows you to deal a second blow to the target's throat and cervical vertebrae, adding 75 bonus damage."

"The damage you deal to the target is: (22 + 45 + 81 + 75) × 2 times the critical damage = 446 points. Target dies. ”

"Since the target soul is extracted by the powerful sacrificial ritual and only gains part of the soul energy, you gain 8,700 points of killing experience in the transformation of killing experience."

The harvest of killing a silver-rank enemy by the two orders is terrifyingly rich, and if it weren't for the Shadow Ritual to remove the big head, Raven would have sent it this time. Of course, this is a weakened enemy, and second, this is only a special gain for Raven in the shadow plane. Back on the continent of Ultron, Raven is still the same bitter little assassin of the Black Iron Rank.

Despite this, the huge gain dazzled Raven's eyes like real money, and so much experience was enough for Raven to raise the Assassin's class level to level 14.

Different from the previous teasing state of being upgraded but not using new skills, in the shadow plane, even if Raven has not opened the shadow energy slot, it is calculated according to the fact that the assassin can have one more ring of assassin-specific skills for every two levels after level 10. An additional two class levels now give Raven an extra ring of Assassin skills temporarily.

At present, Raven can temporarily use the following Assassin-specific skills: Assassin Shroud, Assassin Strike, Shadow Step, Executioner's Ring, Leaping Shadow, Shadow of Certainty, Shadow Storm, and nearly ten other skills.

It is worth mentioning here that Raven, which involves the four skills of fear, psychics, illusions, and throwing weapons, still cannot be activated. Either they don't meet the preconditions in this regard, or they don't have any props.

Even so, Raven was satisfied.

A novice assassin suddenly gained such an abundance of shadow energy that he probably couldn't even imagine how to use it. Even if he was an assassin with a heritage, he couldn't have mastered so many skills in such a short period of time.

Only Raven, who had experienced countless experiences in his previous life, could exert the effect of this temporary shadow energy to the limit.

Of course, Raven now has so many Assassin-specific skills, and he has no intention of running them out in one go.

The hole cards that can be turned over are called hole cards.

The signs must be unveiled one by one to ensure that each sign can play its due role.

After killing a Dark Guard, Raven stopped his attack. After doing the math, it should be almost in the third stage.

Returning to Ellison's side, the loss of the priest was not insignificant.

There are only a few people left of the mighty team of forty: Ellison, the Darkguard, Cattrick, and the Old Thief.

One slap can be counted.

It's superfluous to regret something now. Ellison's goals are two: to kill Raven and to take the Orb of Shadows.

For this reason it is necessary to recuperate.

He couldn't spare any more magic and supplies, and each of the rest was given a healing technique. In the battle just now, each survivor was more or less colored. As a magical beast, the Mastiff can occasionally perform magical strikes that ignore armor, but the armor on his body has not been penetrated, and his body still suffers some claw wounds.

Ellison heals the Darkguard.

The old thief walked over and said to Cattrick, "Do you want me to help you with the wound on your back?" ”

Originally, the old thief was an outsider, and Cattrick didn't want the old thief to help him treat his wounds.

Cattrick had two claws on his back, and the wounds weren't too deep, the problem was that there were three balanced wounds next to each other in one claw, and the canine magic beast's claws had the most bacteria. If this kind of wound is not treated first, removing the bad flesh, claw fragments, and cleaning the wound, it will consume additional divine power and leave all the fragments in the body.

Now that the situation is bad enough, Katrick doesn't want to burden his master any more. And anyway, with Raven, a foreign enemy, watching from the side, and a bunch of Shadow Steel Golems near the Shadow Orb that have not been dealt with, the combat power of the old thief is a must. I have been secretly excluding this old man before, and now it is better to ease the relationship.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Katrick finally nodded in agreement.

Agreed, Cattrick was still secretly on guard in his heart, quietly holding his scimitar in his left hand, and posing as if he was guarding against the distance, but he was actually guarding against the old thief.

The old thief didn't care, he expertly removed Cattrick's leather armor, took out a medical knife, and wiped it clean.

"You can't disinfect it with fire, you can only do it."

"Well, don't mind."

The old thief began to remove the rotten flesh, sludge, and mastiff hair that Cartrick had stuck to in a patch. The frequent, continuous stinging pain made Cattrick frown.

Ellison glanced this way, and Katrick could only smile stiffly.

The Darkguard's injuries were much more serious, and Ellison didn't look any further, concentrating on the Darkguard's wounds.

"Actually, Cattrick, did you notice that when Fallenheit was killed just now, that Raven's movements were very abnormal."

"Oh? How is it not normal? ”

"I'm afraid that agility is already at the level of the silver level, right?"

"Oh, so I found out, too. That kid is obviously a black iron rank, but he has such a high agility. This is absolutely not normal. Katrick nodded in agreement.

The old thief continued as he dug out a piece of the mastiff's broken fingernail, "I once heard a legend about the Shadow Orb, and now it seems likely to be true. ”

Ellison looked up, a little unhappy: "You should have said it early in the morning, I said that you should tell all the news about the Shadow Orb, as for believe it or not, that is my judgment." ”

"Dear Lord Stinger, this was my mistake. Because the Shadow Orb is so rare, this rumor is also very undetailed and outrageous, I don't dare to say it. ”

"Forget about the previous things, you can say it." Ellison finished his order and continued to treat the wound.

"Yes, the Shadow Orbs of Gold tier or above will begin to have a will of their own. While not psionic, it instinctively chooses the strongest Shadow Energy applicator, so it will be happy to see a festival where contenders fight each other. ”

"What!?" Katrick was startled.

The old thief didn't stop, and continued: "The Shadow Orb not only has to choose the strongest, but also wants to choose the most potential and talented master. It rewards candidates who kill their competitors, giving them a temporary gain on the strongest physical ability of their slain opponent to test their use of the Shadow Skill with a sudden increase in their physical fitness. ”

"Ahh The other three people present let out a low exclamation.

It would be too bad if that were the case. This means that Raven will gain the strength or tenacity of the Silver Darkguard.

The abundance of Shadow Energy allows the Wanderers to gain access to a large number of high-level skills in advance, which is not terrible. Because without physical support, no matter how advanced the skills are, they are just impractical shows.

As we all know, in the world of Ultron, every 20 levels are the first level, and each level of professional will get a leap in physical fitness when they cross that hurdle, so it is normal for a high level to beat a low level.

Now that Raven can ignore this gap for special reasons, how can you let Ellison balance his mind?

Just as the three of them were deep in thought, the old thief comforted everyone: "Don't worry too much, first of all, this is just an unreliable legend. Secondly, a baby suddenly becomes an adult, can he adapt? ”

The old thief said this, and the three of them were also relieved. Indeed, the strength and agility of a high-level professional who is several times greater than ordinary is definitely not something that a low-level person can imagine. No matter how talented that Raven is, it will still take time to get used to this strength and body. What if he had the strength and agility of the silver rank? Discomfort will make him have more flaws.

As he spoke, the old god stole to Cattrick's left shoulder: "You still have a claw fragment here, I'm going to dig it with a bigger knife, it might hurt." ”

The claw fragment had already made Cattrick extremely uncomfortable, and until now, he had only forced: "You dig it." I can bear the pain. ”

Pain...... It hurts!? This is......
