Chapter 35: The Shadow Festival

Martin Fabiola is a Shadow Thief.

The Shadow Thief knows only three kinds of people about his organization: his minions, his colleagues, and his boss: a strict web of secrecy ensures the safety of the organization, and any arrested member can only betray a limited number of people.

So when the Boss called him to follow the command of a man named Katrick, he obeyed and joined the hell mission.

With teammates dying all the time, everyone knows how terrible this mission is.

But the strict organizational system still governs his nerves and reason.

As a detective and searcher, he has too many ways to avoid sudden danger. There's even a Mastery of Bizarre Evasion in Am's Shadow Thief's primary ability, which prevents the Shadow Thief from being raided by an opponent unless the opponent is a class with the ability to raid and is at least level 4 or higher than the Shadow Thief class level.

Despite this, he still got hit: he was only passing through a shadow shrouded in black stone, and the next second, Huo Ran found himself in a desolate black wasteland.

Some black shards were swept up by the wind, beating Martin's feet. But Martin couldn't tell if it was a marble shard or just black earth. The sky above me was starless darkness, and after more than five hours in the shadow plane, the whole body seemed to have completely lost its temperature, and its hands and feet were cold and stiff, which was a trance that I didn't even know if I was still alive.

Just when Martin thought that this strange feeling would soon disappear, and then he could see the familiar faces of his teammates and the monotonous black soil, he suddenly found that he could not move.

A huge figure tied his limbs with strange ropes.

The strange flames in the figure's eye sockets reminded Martin of the demons of hell.

"Yes......" He had just shouted a word when a sharp cone-like thing pierced his jaw and went straight to his brain.

The body's dying convulsions lasted less than three seconds before stopping. He didn't understand to death why his mastery of bizarre dodging didn't work.

He couldn't have known, it was because Raven was manipulating Rope One through a soul connection. Raven's raid skill and Rope One's first attack directly nullified his mastery of bizarre dodge.

The shadow thief is dead, and Raven waits for the system to prompt him to receive experience.

There was not a single fart in the system for five seconds.

Raven was stunned to realize that there was only one ritual that would snatch the souls of freshly dead humans from the shadow plane—the Shadow Rite.

Shadow Orbs are naturally generated. Raven had heard that the Shadow Orb, which was so powerful that it would choose its own owner.

In the case of multiple choices, the choice of the Orb of Shadow is also very simple: choose only the one that survives.

On the other hand, the sacrifice can only be someone who also has shadow energy, and the more sacrifices, the better the quality, and there will be a chance to promote the evolution of the shadow orb and advance into a higher level treasure.

It is clear that the Shadow Orb has now taken all the Shadow Energy Persons who have entered its territory as candidates according to its own will.

Since he has no killing experience, this guy can only be cheapened.

After searching Martin carefully and taking what he wanted, Raven beckoned to the rope to wash the ground.

Once the rope was cleaned, Raven caught up with Ellison again.

He watched with pleasure at the team, which was in a state of unease and nervousness.

Ellison: They still don't know how Martin went missing.

Raven actually despised this.

His technique is worthless—it's the shadow jump that all high-level wanderers use every day.

On the main plane of Ultron, the shadow jump is to briefly enter the shadow plane and achieve the purpose of traveling a short distance on the main plane.

In the shadow plane, this is to take advantage of the singular property of 'as long as the shadow area is roughly equal and the shadow properties are the same'.

The requirement that the shadow area is roughly equal is that the difference between the two shadow areas should not exceed 10%.

The nature is the same...... Theoretically, it's as simple as making sure that the two shades are the same color. It is difficult to put it into practice, because in the shadow plane, there are a total of 256 levels of black according to the shade. In order to perform a shadow jump, you must have two shadows of the same level, otherwise you will have to die head-on.

How could Ellison, a group of rookies, compare to Raven, a former god-level assassin, in this regard?

Raven attacked almost with great fanfare, but there was nothing Ellison could do about it. The priestess watched as his men were tied up and dragged away by ropes that suddenly appeared from the shadows.

It's almost catching one of the two.

In just fifteen minutes, all five of the Shadow Thieves were finished.

However, when dealing with more advanced enemies, he ran into problems.

Rope's speed couldn't keep up with the old thief and the magician. These two silver-level wanderers were not at all vain, relying on superior agility and mastery of intuitive evasion, they dodged at the moment they were about to hit.

Even if you hit it once in a while, you won't be afraid. The old thief's escape technique is terrifying, and the trickster counteracts the onslaught of rope one with a mess.

As for Ellison's side, it's even more troublesome, not to mention the Cattrick who hasn't made a move. Just those two Dark Guards, the rope can't be taken down.

These two Dark Guards are also amazing. At level 5, the Dark Guardian can summon a Infernal Minion. The choice of these two guys turned out to be the same, they both chose the Purgatory Bat.

This kind of guy who eats on ultrasound gives the Darkguard superhuman nervous response. Before the rope of Rope One could fly to his body, the Dark Guard picked the rope open with a superb sword move.

The black moon in the sky is not fixed, and the light that shines through it will also change constantly, which indirectly makes Raven's sneak attack have a time limit. For the sake of safety, a shadow Raven would never dare to use it for more than 3 seconds. Otherwise, it would be a lot of fun for the enemy to jump along that shadow.

So far, Raven has been using the policy of 'if you miss a hit, you will immediately flee'.

As time went on, Raven also had a bit of a headache.

After getting close to the center of the Shadow Valley, Raven is not the only one who can shadow jump, and if he continues to play this at will, something will happen.

Over there, the Ellisons were also starting to adjust to Raven's attack.

Charlie, the trickster, brings up the possibility of shadow jumping: "I think we can fight back. As long as two people chase after him at the same time, they can drag down Raven and his strangled golem. Shadow jumps up to 50 meters away from the main plane. Then in the shadow plane, I estimate that it will not exceed 500 meters at most. ”

"It's 485 meters." He hadn't made a move, hadn't even participated in the discussion, and Katrick, who was like a mascot, suddenly spoke.

Everyone present was a little stunned.

Ellison was pleasantly surprised, he knew Katrick's character best. Cattrick's opening meant he was absolutely sure.

Ellison grabbed Cattrick's hand and said heavily, "I'll leave it to you." ”

Katrick nodded, then looked at the two Dark Guards, and commanded, "The safety of the master is in your hands." ”

The Guardian nodded.

The old thief's cloudy eyes almost narrowed into a line: "Are you really sure?" ”

"Isn't it just a black iron kid and a silver golem. When you arrive, you can come and collect their bodies. Katrick snorted coldly, and drew two shiny scimitars in a gorgeous and dashing manner, and the black cold light reflected the strange moonlight, and a series of cold afterimages appeared.

"Coming!?"

It was a surprise attack from a small pebble at the bottom of his feet in the palm-sized shadow. The rope that shoots out of the rope is reminiscent of the pounce of an octopus monster.

However, Cattrick only took a slight stagger, dodged the rope in an instant, and in less than a tenth of a second, he jumped into the shadows as if he were diving.

It was a strange feeling for a huge person to jump into a palm-sized black shadow and disappear without hesitation.

Ellison doesn't even feel like he'll be able to fit in for the rest of his life, so Cattrick is a powerful melee professional, and Ellison will always be a murderous church priest who can only hide behind the avant-garde and throw away his magic.

Ellison was relieved, he didn't think his strongest warrior would lose to Raven and the Broken Golem.

As an assassin, as long as you don't have any intention of going back, you should immediately flee away if you miss a blow. This kind of frequent and ineffective attack is absolutely stupid.

Of course, if this is digging a hole, that's a different story.

How could there be only two groups of Raven and Ellison in a huge shadow valley?

The moment Katrick jumped into the shadowy space with great ambition, he noticed many, many pairs of shining eyes looking at him.

Do Raven and Joichi add up to four eyes?

No way!

So Katrick knew he was being trapped.

It was a dozen huge, terrifying wolves with black fur and huge claws. In the center of its head is a short, thick and broad wolf's mouth, its teeth glowing with a pearl-like blue light.

Of course, there are no ordinary wolves in the shadow plane, and these wolves are essentially large magical beasts.

When Cattrick recognized the wolves as bronze-level Mastiffs, his face was bloodless.

"Oh! I said that the rope was used for fishing, and you don't believe it, do you think this is not hanging on something? ”

"It's a man, not a fish! Idiot! ”

"Uh, we haven't had a harvest for three days anyway, do we want to hunt humans?"

"I've seen more human scents on this human, and it's all good."

"That's it, change the goal! Let's hunt and kill humans! ”

These strange magical beasts who spoke the lingua franca did not give Cattrick room to refute, and directly pointed the finger at Cattrick.

Cattrick didn't say a word and went back the way he came.

Ellison was full of joy and ready to meet his triumphant warriors, but he didn't expect to see Katrick retreat in embarrassment a few seconds later.

"What!?"

"Mastiff!!" With Catrick's shouting, a dozen giant wolf-like creatures leaped out of the shadows.
