Chapter 44: Counting the Harvest
After reading the data of Rope One, and comparing it with the previous Rope One, Raven was a little dumbfounded.
It was also the first time he knew that the original golem could be used in a different shell. The power of the gods is sharp. But why could Lyra, as the Phantom Goddess, do such a thing?
Raven thought about it carefully, it should be the mist in the original skeleton skeleton of the Shadowsteel Golem. The fog is Leila's domain. The mist of the Shadow Steel Golem is also estimated to be at its core, so it gives Leila the opportunity to use her divine powers.
The current rope one is completely made up of three destroyed Shadow Steel Golems black metal pieces, of course, because of the magical aesthetics of the goddess, this thing is no longer like the Shadow Steel Golem at all.
Like a female version of the Black Samurai. Instead of a skull, it was replaced by a full-face helmet with two decorative V-shaped antennas on the forehead.
The upper body is a slender inverted triangle of all-black armor with inscriptions on it of the Misty Lady. The shoulder armor seems to be made of three layers of black petals, giving Raven a flashy feeling.
The arms are almost the same as before, but the wrists are different from the beginning, they are simply violent skeleton palms, and the fingertips are directly claws. The claws now have humanoid metal palms, and there are a pair of Wolverine-like claws on both wrists.
There is more crotch armor on the lower body, but it has become like a pair of black double-edged broadswords from the thighs, and the calves have lost their original claws, turning into two thin swords for stabbing.
Because it has evolved to a large size, its height has become nearly 3 and a half meters, and the total weight of the entire golem has soared to 3,000 catties.
Although it is very heavy, because the black metal on its body is all steel forged by extremely rare shadow liquid, all shadow steel is supported by the power of shadows, as long as there is a shadow within a radius of 30 meters, it can rely on the magical power of the shadow plane to hover lightly on the ground like a ghost, silently.
What's more, its massive size can hide in any shadow without revealing a trace.
"The name of Rope One is no longer suitable for me now, please give it a name from the master."
In the soul connection, rope one sent such a message.
"Uh, this...... You're a Shadowsteel Golem now. Then let's call it shadow killing. "Raven actually kind of wants to change its name to Banshee, mKII. or something.
After thinking about it, it's too discordant, so forget it.
"Thank you master for the name, from now on I will be called Shadow Kill."
"When it's okay, you just hide in my back."
"Yes."
Raven also asked a lot of questions, and only a few of them Shadow Kill would answer. Its response to what it doesn't know is silence.
Even so, Raven was satisfied. Shadow Kill's current strength is probably in the middle of the Golden Rank. With it, he walked almost sideways below the golden level.
On the other hand, shadow killing is fragile. The simplest of Shaping Light Dance (a 0-ring spell that creates 4 orbs of light or magic torches within a radius of three meters) can greatly weaken its connection to the Shadow Plane. It can't absorb the power of shadows through its own shadows, and once there is no shadow around it, its own super high weight becomes a huge burden, and falling to the ground and unable to move to become a target is its only end.
Of course, if it is a coincidence, even the legendary powerhouse may be killed by the shadow.
After solving the problem of the golem, it is time to touch the corpse happily.
The Phantom Goddess took Ellison's soul, and where did she go to serve the whip and iron virgin torture or something, Raven didn't care. The good things that Ellison left behind couldn't help but be looted.
The priest of the murder church was notoriously rich. There are too many things to kill people and sell goods, and it's no wonder that the purse doesn't bulge.
The first thing I touched was Ellison's storage bracelet, which was 10 cubic meters of extradimensional space and could hold no more than 3 tons of soulless dead objects.
Raven immediately stripped Ellison of his priceless armor. It took a long time to discover Ellison's metamorphosis, I really don't know where this former slave trader got his physique, and he actually wore more than one set of armor.
On the outside is a gold-level Mithril armor, in the middle is a set of chain mail made entirely of pure gold, and on the back there is a set of leather armor made of salamander skin.
These three sets of things together will definitely not be less than 200 catties, not counting the mourning tower shield, that thing is at least 40 catties.
Really, it's definitely condescension for Ellison not to be a barbarian.
As an Assassin, heavy armor above leather armor could not be worn. If you wear it, you will greatly reduce your agility and affect your movements. At most, Raven remade the salamander leather armor and put it on, but now this thing is too big, and the relatively slender body of the half-elf is no different from wearing a turtle shell on top of it.
Time was limited, so Raven poured all of Ellison's belongings into the storage bracelet, made sure that nothing was missing, and set off with Shadow Kill.
The Phantom Goddess has done the preliminary work, and now it is Raven's turn to harvest.
The Shadow Plane is a magical place.
As long as the will of the plane is approved, even things like the Shadow Orb can invoke the power of the plane to condense the Shadow Festival, and even manipulate the space to create dueling rings for the candidates.
Raven didn't go far, and the shadow plane seemed to open a path specifically for Raven.
On either side was an invisible black abyss, with only a dark gray dirt path leading straight to an altar that was constantly spewing black mist. On the altar half a meter square, a deep black bead swayed incessantly, as if trying to break free from the faint mist that wrapped around it.
At this time, the system prompt came.
"Do you follow the will of the Phantom Goddess Lyra and erase the self-consciousness of the Shadow Orb, so that the Shadow Orb will permanently lose the opportunity to advance to the Legend, and at the same time, the souls contained in the Shadow Festival will be released, and you will lose a chance to greatly strengthen your body."
Raven decisively chose 'no'. This seemingly beautiful thing is similar to the devil's contract, and the price of rapid improvement in a short period of time is to permanently lose oneself, either sell one's soul, or become a ghost and a ghost.
"Squeak-" A shrill sound like a fingernail scratching glass almost pierced Raven's eardrums.
It seems to be trying to curse Raven, but unfortunately, its opponent is a god.
Lyra's divine power easily suppressed the Shadow Orb, which was only at the peak of the Golden Rank. This time, the shadow orb, which was only the size of a gold coin, no longer trembled in any way, and waited quietly on the altar for Raven's disposal.
Outsiders won't know what to do with the Orb of Shadows. If anyone does eat it, it is death. The surging shadow energy will instantly erode all biological tissues in the human body. It will turn a person into a completely shadow creature in an hour at most.
There have been attempts to dig a small piece of flesh into the chest in an attempt to slowly absorb the power of the Shadow Orb through the washing of blood day and night, however, this is the second version of Death. The heart of that thing couldn't withstand the cold negative energy, and turned into a zombie.
The real way to deal with this is to aim at the black moon in the sky of the shadow plane at any point after the early hours of the morning, and then throw the shadow orb into the shadow behind you.
Shadow Orbs, of course, have to be in the shadows to be the most effective.
Just right, it arrived on time.
The Black Moon rose eerily behind Raven, who watched as his shadow slowly shrank in front of him.
When the shadow was about to be the same size as himself, Raven took a deep breath, savored the coldness of the shadow, recalled the various magical skills brought by the shadow energy of the previous life, threw the shadow orb high, and threw the orb into his shadow at the moment when his shadow was the same size as his body.
"Poof!" Like a drop of ink dripping into a vat of ink, Raven's figure rippled in pitch black. Immediately, the whole shadow was as violently churning and tumbling as boiling water.
Just ten seconds passed, and suddenly everything was silent again.
Here comes the system prompt:
"Congratulations, you've successfully opened the Shadow Energy Gauge perfectly with the Golden Tier Shadow Orb in the Shadow Plane."
"You now have a Shadow Energy of 128/128, regenerating 2 Shadow Energy every five seconds outside of the Shadow Plane."
"You've gained the Shadowless Divine Walk Specialty - the shadows are your friends, and your steps are like the whispers of death. You can progress at a normal pace without the stealth and hiding skills being checked. ”
"Due to the presence of the Orb of Shadows, you gain +5 points for perception, +30 points for reconnaissance, and +30 meters for dark vision in any dark environment. Your Shadow Steel Golem Shadow Slay will slowly increase its strength if it is affected by the Shadow Orb for a long time. ”
The latter items are certainly surprises, but the most important is the opening of the Shadow Energy Slot.
At this moment, Raven's tears were about to burst out: It's really not easy! From level 5 to now, I finally have a shadow skill! The castrated version of the assassin before was so hard! Brother is now a complete assassin at last!
Suddenly, the system prompt came again:
"Have you started the continuous quest of the soul weapon, the Shadow Moon Blade?"
