60 The Hand of Shadows and Penetration
Since he was in a coma for ten days and ten nights five months ago, Charles has quietly awakened a new ability after waking up-
The fingers of his right hand could pierce through the shadows and emerge from other shadows nearby!
If this is the case, it is impossible to snatch the object that the target is holding in his hand without hindrance.
So in reality, the fingers that Charles pierce through are not materialized, but - shadowed.
The Hand of Shadow spills out of the shadows, wrapping around the target item and instantly carrying it back with it.
Except for the use of Charles when he uses it to trap people, the shadows and entities he controls seem to be two dimensional things, which cannot be touched by normal people or elves at all, and can only be touched when Charles controls the enemy, but it is also very hidden.
So much so that under this characteristic, he can use this new ability to steal anything without even realizing it.
However, this kind of theft actually has a strong distance limit, and can only be near the body.
Charles had tried, but it was only about ten meters, and he couldn't "penetrate" it when he was far away.
It's also a strange feeling when you use this ability, as if your surroundings have become another world in an instant, a world with only the shadow of silence.
And his hands are able to use these shadows to appear anywhere in the world.
That's roughly the case, in fact, Charles's perception of all this when he used this ability was actually very hazy, and he couldn't even enter that special state normally at first, but he could only faintly perceive it.
It took him five months of constant practice to make this happen.
As for whether this shadow hand can be used more deeply for other purposes, that is something that is unknown, and it needs to be explored.
……
Although the small wooden tube in the palm of his hand was taken away, the children of the Caleb Dir family did not notice this.
Mainly because Charles replaced the "texture" of the wooden tube with another shadow support at the same time.
So in the face of Charles's "questioning", she naturally opened her mouth to deny it.
Then, when Charles was sure that his words were correct and promised not to change them, Lori, a pair of big emerald green eyes bent into the shape of a crescent moon, couldn't help but smile with a win.
It's a pity that when she triumphantly showed the object in her hand and shook it towards Charles, she was greeted only by the other party's "disdainful" gaze.
“……?”
"How could it be gone?"
Looking down at his empty palm, the little guy blinked in confusion, and his little hand kept pinching back and forth, but he no longer had the feeling of holding something before.
But she didn't have time to think about anything, so she was kicked out of the treehouse by Charles with a blank face, and when Charles told her to keep the agreement, her heart was originally confused and suppressed, and all kinds of ways and means of repaying the debt subconsciously flashed in her little head.
But none of this is something the Charles needs to think about anymore.
After getting rid of the little annoyance, he closed the door of the treehouse tightly, then turned to the window table and chair and sat back, and smiled, and then had time to glance at the things he had just "stole" in his sleeves.
It's a very common small wooden tube filled with water, and Nando elves basically use this for drinking water.
"It can't really be a bottle of water, right?"
After shaking it for a while, there was a real sound of liquid shaking inside, but then he shrugged his nose and smelled a smell of it.
Knock the cap open, look down, and pout.
"This troublemaker actually used what I taught you to give gifts......"
Muttering, Charles was suddenly stunned, looked at the back of the window that had turned into a small black dot, and then looked at the slightly cloudy healing potion in the wooden tube, which was obviously from the rookie's hand, and a smile flashed on his face.
"Okay, thank you, I love this gift."
Charles got up and walked to the living room, where he packed the crudely made healing potion in a nanmu box and placed it solemnly on his bedside table.
His gaze returned to the dagger that had been fiddling with on the wooden table.
The dagger had no grip attached, like the sword forged by the Charles five months earlier, with a slender iron handle wrapped in a strip of coarse cloth for basic grasp.
In fact, this kind of weapon is not safe, because it will only be firm and easy to use after the grip is installed, otherwise it will be very unstable and belong to the ranks of semi-finished products.
But that doesn't stop it from being a finished thing in Charles's eyes.
Walk slowly over and pick it up and hold it up in front of your eyes in the sun.
The glittering appearance of the silver dagger gave people a faint glimmering sensation, and when he carried the dagger to the height of his chest, and then let it go and let it fall freely, he heard a loud sound, and the dagger had already disappeared from sight.
Or rather, it hasn't disappeared completely.
The strips of cloth wrapped around the handle of the dagger were now piled up on the wooden table, and when they were pulled out, a flat vertical gap appeared on the surface of the oak table, which was originally neat and firm.
Bending down to look under the table, the half-finished dagger was now stuck in the shadowy floor under the table, the dagger was halfway in, and it looked very stable on it.
Reaching out and pulling it out, he placed it on the wooden table, and Charles sat back in his chair and pondered.
His musings had been interrupted by the arrival of the little one, who was actually thinking about the dagger, or the sequence of secret texts it represented.
Penetrate? Or puncture?
The sharpness of the dagger's blade is actually ordinary, but its tip is extremely sharp.
After forging it last night, Charles even experimented with rocks, and the effect was just as strong.
Dwarven weapons are known for their sharpness and sturdiness, but in Charr's opinion, apart from the top-of-the-line magical artifacts, the equipment forged by the dwarves really relies on the presence of steel.
Compared to the common use of iron by the elves, the equipment made by the dwarves who have mastered the skills of steelmaking is naturally superior.
So when Charles "invented" the forged dagger longsword, or the secret sequence used to forge the dagger longsword, how much impact could it have on the world?
"If I use this piercing sequence to forge arrowheads...... If all my elven archers use are these arrows...... It's all that kind of armor......"
His mind subconsciously flashed back to the war five months ago, and the fire demons who led them were actually very troublesome, except for the huge number of orcs.
The Firefiend has a rock-like body, can control fire, has a strong vitality, and has a great intelligence.
Even Charles learns from his cheap uncle that the Firefiend is not just an ordinary creature, but a being that the elves call Maia.
Maiya was formless, and only after being corrupted and transformed by Morgoth did she walk the world as a fire demon, which can be regarded as one of the high-end combat power in this world.
However, the fire demon was not completely immune to the dwarven arrows.
The dwarven arrows are not completely immune, so what about now?
