Chapter 29: The Castle of Shadows

Just when everyone was just breathing a sigh of relief, a sudden change occurred.

Elena was about to unleash the release of the falling stars when a jet-black sword made entirely of shadows slammed into her back, piercing her from her lower abdomen and piercing her completely!

In Elena's reflection on the floor, a humanoid shadow emerges, and it is this shadow that has severely injured Elena. Xiao Ke was shocked by Elena's cry of pain, looked back violently, and threw the energy spear as soon as possible, the spear pierced through the chest of the shadow, making a piercing sound like boiling oil falling into water, and then the wound burst open! The blasting effect of the impact spear was the first to blow, blasting the shadow assassin to pieces.

At the moment when the shadow was shattered, the shadow assassin also appeared in the image of the other four at the same time, launching a surprise attack on the four of them. But the remaining four people are all masters, with Elena's previous experience, where will they not be careful, Xiao Ke held the shadow stabbing sword that stabbed him in the palm of his hand, and the other hand put it on the face of the shadow assassin and launched a burst of light, directly rushing the upper body of the shadow into nothingness, and the remaining half of the body could not maintain the physical form, turning into a free shadow energy floating around.

Both Burial Sky and Sunshine were killed before the Shadow Assassin could attack, but Kane's agility was not high, and despite his preparation, he was still cut on the arm by the Shadow Thorn Sword, and he picked up the burning sledgehammer, burning the Shadow Assassin to ashes in an instant.

After the five Shadow Assassins were eliminated, a Soul Mark prompted the team to obtain the following items:

Shadow Diamond×1 (a magic gem containing space energy).

Shadow Blood× 1 (Permanent +1 after consumption).

Low-level Shadow ×2 (consumable item, summons a Shadow Samurai to fight for you after use).

In addition, each person received 973 soul points.

Ignoring the harvest, everyone came to Elena's side to check on her injuries.

Elena was pierced by the Sword of Shadow, and her health was not dropped much, but this piercing damage had affected Elena's movements. After being damaged by the power of shadows, it is very troublesome to heal.

A layer of black aura lingered on Elena's wound, and if you looked closely, you could even see a faintly wriggling shadow in the depths of the wound. She ate the food used for recovery, but she could only maintain her health without continuing to decline, and it did not help the recovery of the wound.

Elena gritted her teeth and launched a healing touch on the wound, and the power of nature poured down, and when it touched the power of the condensed shadow, it was like water poured on a hot oil pot, boiling violently, and even a mist of blood rose in the wound.

At that moment, the sudden sharp pain made Elena's consciousness go blank, and her body bounced up violently and fell back hard, which was completely the body's instinctive reaction to the sharp pain that exceeded the limit. She opened her mouth wide, but she couldn't make a sound under the pain.

It took a long time for her to breathe a sigh of relief and begin to gasp violently. Instead of restoring her health, the healing touch dropped her health by more than 20 points, but fortunately, the power of the shadows was finally removed, and the healing medicine and food were already working.

The group stopped where they were, waiting for Elena to recover, and during this time, Elena also healed Kane. Although his injuries were light, the severe pain during the treatment did not diminish a little, and even an iron-like man like Kane was in a cold sweat under this severe pain.

This shadow creature is really troublesome!

While waiting, several people took out the loot and probed, and Wanqing suddenly said, "I hope to be able to buy all the shadow diamonds, which is the main purpose of my here." The price I offered for the Shadow Diamond was 2,500 points per piece, which is slightly lower than the auction house, but considering that I also contributed to the battle, I think this is a fair price, of course, even if it is directly distributed to me, I will pay for it! ”

It was useless for Xiao Ke and the others to take this shadow diamond, so they agreed.

When Elena and Kane were back to normal, the group continued their journey.

They walked through this corridor to a spacious room, which was supposed to be a study, with many tall bookshelves with all kinds of books, and in the room there were all kinds of treasures of great [chronicle] significance, and the walls were covered with large and small oil paintings. However, this is the end of their route, it is actually a dead end!

Wanqing looked around, and said solemnly: "There must be some secret door here that can allow us to move on, everyone search carefully, but before that, everyone must pay attention to all the places where shadow creatures may be hidden, something like just now must not happen again!" ”

Everyone began to explore the room cautiously, only Xiao Ke actually picked out a book after rummaging through the bookshelves, and read it with relish, and the other four shook their heads helplessly at his lazy behavior, but everyone was used to it, and no one said anything about him.

The book he was reading was about the secrets of the shadow creatures in the Source of Order:

All things come into being and die, which is the basic law on which the universe depends. Thus, Amanthel, the Lord of Creation, and the Messiah, the Lord of Annihilation, were extremely important components of the Temple, while shadow creatures were born in the gap between creation and annihilation.

All things circulate in life and death, but there will always be some accidents that cause creation and annihilation to collide, and the result of this collision is the birth of the dark side of matter, and when the dark side merges with the soul, shadow creatures are formed.

The source of order was originally the plane dominated by shadow creatures, but after the archangel of order entered the source of order, he used supreme divine power to open up a vortex of order in chaos, and used the power of holy light and order to almost kill the shadow creatures, only the shadow castle was favored by the will of the temple and retained as a parallel space.

Shoko watched intently, not noticing that under the illumination of the oil lamp, his shadow was projected on the wall, and from his shadow, a cloud of shadows broke away and melted into the wall.

In an oil painting depicting the war of kings, the majestic king suddenly came to life, and quietly turned his head in the blind corner of everyone's sight, glaring at everyone with a cruel smile.

Shawco suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly turned around, but what he saw was only an ancient and precious oil painting, and all the characters in the painting were lifelike.

All the oil paintings hung quietly on the wall, and there was nothing unusual at all, Xiao Ke frowned, and looked around carefully, but still found nothing, so he lowered his head again and read the book seriously. But at the moment when he lowered his head, the eyes of the king on the oil painting behind him slowly turned, and his gaze fell on him again.

Xiao Ke's heart suddenly flashed a trace of inexplicable palpitations, he groaned for a moment, turned his head sharply, and the countless portraits behind him hurriedly turned their heads to their original positions, but this time Xiao Ke was too sudden, and he was finally caught by him!

Xiao Ke laughed, and the energy spear in his hand condensed in response, and pierced into the chest of the portrait of the king, and the portrait was hit by this pure energy, and it let out a howl like a ghost's cry, and the portrait ignited pale flames from the broken place, slowly burning out.

The others were concentrating on searching for the secret passage of the agency, and they were alarmed by the change, and hurriedly put themselves on guard. The portraits in the surrounding oil paintings actually began to squirm slowly, turning into gray-white ghosts, screaming and jumping out of the frame.

The crowd used the soul mark to probe the past, and the message sent back was: "Shadow Ghost, a half-undead and half-shadow creature generated by the fusion of evil spirits and shadow powers. Health 200, immune to physical attacks. ”

These shadow ghosts floated around in the air, and several of them screamed and rushed in the direction of Burial Heaven and Elena, Burial Heaven laughed, and where he waved his hands, the claws of the Beastmaster intertwined into a large blue net, covering these shadow ghosts, and tearing them to pieces in an instant.

After the death of these shadow ghosts, the rest of the shadow ghosts invariably let out a terrible cry, and avoided the burial sky from a distance, as if they were very afraid.

However, their expressions immediately became bloodthirsty and distorted, as if they had been stimulated by something, and suddenly they screamed wildly into the air. The screams of so many shadow ghosts converged, forming an unparalleled spiritual impact, like a sharp blade stabbing into everyone's consciousness, Kane, who had the lowest spiritual value, snorted, and two blood lines had already flowed from his nose.

In this scream, everyone was shocked to realize that not only was the health value decreasing, but the energy value was also declining rapidly, and this group of shadow ghosts would actually absorb spiritual power!

Seeing that everyone couldn't hold on any longer, Futian let out a melodious wolf howl, transformed into a snow-white giant wolf, and sprayed the Storm Blade at the shadow ghosts in the air.

At this point, the cooldown for the stars has passed, and Elena prays to the sky again, unleashing a powerful meteor shower.

Wanqing shouted, jumped up in the air, his body and arms were in a straight line, a pair of jade arms burst forward, and his whole body rotated to rush towards the shadow ghosts, this move was actually the spiral strangulation used by Thor nicknamed the meat grinder in the temple of the Predator that day.

It's just that this spiral strangulation was used by Wanqing, and the effect was very different from Thor, the speed of Wanqing's impact was like a sharp arrow that opened a bow, and when she rotated, the orange-yellow weapon phantom emitted by her fingers actually swung out a stream of vertical and horizontal sword qi, smashing the shadow ghosts on her impact path.

Under the combined blow of several people, the shadow ghosts were suddenly beaten into pieces, and they died in pieces, and the remaining shadow ghosts saw that the momentum was not good, and they actually screamed and rushed into the wall, wanting to escape!

But Xiao Ke, who had never made a move, suddenly made a move, he laughed strangely, and threw the steel spear with additional energy like raindrops, like a bullet from a heavy machine gun, stabbing heavily into the wall!

The shadow ghosts who wanted to escape were named one by one, pierced by spears, and turned into black smoke as they wailed.

Soul Seal hints for the team's takeaways:

Shadow Diamond × 2

Prayer Gem ×1

Shadow Essence Extract ×3 (instantly restores 30% of energy after consumption)

Team members each receive 798 Soul Points

Everyone was overjoyed, they didn't expect this shadow ghost to drop a potion to restore energy value, in the temple, in addition to the perfect recovery potion, there are very few potions that can directly restore life and energy in battle, especially the potion that restores energy value, it is simply unique!

In the duel between Funeral Heaven and Gustav, if Gustav had such a bottle of potion, although he still might not be able to win, his end would never be to kill himself in despair!
