It only took André half a day to initially master the method of highly condensing dark magic. The snake demon, who was born with the ability to cast some shadow spells, could not match the degree of condensation of dark magic, and with the assistance of the shadow runes, the diameter of the shadow ball formed by the condensation of shadow magic under the control of the two of them was more than three times different.

As for the process of mastering this ability, it can only be regarded as an instinctive display for the children of the abyss who have pure blood, just like the first time a fledgling bird spreads its wings after its wings are full. For other people's extremely difficult things, in front of the children of the abyss, it is like a child learning to ride a bicycle, it seems a bit hanging, but once you master it, you will find that it is actually not more difficult than running with all your might.

As for the trick to mastering this ability, it's like you perfectly complete a forward somersault of two and a half turns and three weeks of flexion. They naturally know what to do, but how to succeed can only be experienced by their own experience.

After completing the advancement of shadow control, Andre's spirit and perception actually improved by one and two points respectively in just half a day.

The original "skill" framework that showed Shadow Mastery (proficiency) has been transformed into Shadow Mastery (Mastery).

Shadow Mastery (Mastery): Through repeated exploration, your control over dark magic has improved dramatically, and your superior mana mastery lives up to your superior bloodline, but this is only the beginning for a child of the abyss who is skilled in dark magic.

Shadow Arrow (Superb)

Shadow Barrage (Superb)

Shadow Touch (Superb)

......

In any case, as the leader of the clan, Andre finally has a little sign of high-end combat power, although the direct damage that the Shadow Arrow of the Children of the Abyss (Virtuoso) can cause is less than 10% of the Garuda Fireball Technique (Virtuoso), but the Shadow Spell is a tactical spell that focuses on weakening the enemy, and Andrei's speed of releasing the Shadow Arrow is much faster than that of the Fire Demon.

Whenever he has free time, André will take Ambi to study dark magic and explore other runes, Ambi imitates the runes drawn by the dwarves, and its main role is to condense dark magic, this elemental rune belongs to the alien civilization inherited by elemental life in another world, and it is the origin of most of the spells of the demon world and Garandia.

Shadow Son Appi looks stupid and cute, but in fact, its understanding of elemental runes is a true innate intuition, an instinct that flows through its body, just like Andre mastered the Abyssal Language after his birth. Although it is very fragile in itself, its understanding of dark magic is only higher than Andrei's.

A circle of "Shadow Condensation" runes was drawn on the ground, and the Children of the Abyss stood in the middle to practice casting shadow spells and trying to explore other uses of shadow magic. With the nourishment of the rune condensing dark magic, Ambi played with Andre so much that even the owner Livia was thrown aside by it.

Compared to the idle children of the abyss, the demons in the camp are much busier.

In order to show potential allies how different Andrari is from, all the members of the clan focus most of their efforts on crafting more supplies. The cowards are busy picking konjac, which can be used as a raw material for sake brewing.

The roots of this plant are hard to boil, the taste is a little jerky, and there are so many veins of fiber that even the marsh birds only use it as a food source when they can't find other food, but it is a good ingredient for refined food - it is everywhere in the swamps.

The Flame Demon Garuda is trying to make pottery with a different shape, which the Children of the Abyss tell him is the key to improving the plain quality of the tribal konjac wine.

A nearby kiln is firing clay pots with sealed sinks and matching clay bowl lids. In André's description, these things have a similar role to be used in food processing, in addition to making wine and making strange sauces.

In addition to preparing to welcome their friends, the Children of the Abyss have also made some other arrangements for possible battles.

Others were crafting rudimentary armor and weapons from the materials they had, and apart from stone weapons that barely rivaled the dwarven stone axes, Andrari's current processing methods could only deal with some wood and rope. If Barot Limestone's equipment is the lowest level of armament among the dwarves, Andrei's men will probably be vulnerable to the alien warriors. However, in order not to resign himself to fate, he still arranged for many of his men to build some fortifications that they could use with rudimentary tools.

......

Just when Andrarui was in full swing in the production and construction competition, on the other side of the Broken Sky Mountain, in the sunny green village, the atmosphere of the elves' meeting in the tree house was very tense.

"I disagree!"

As the most seasoned ranger mentor in the village, Quinn Thorn, who is 732 years old this year (the average natural lifespan of elves is about 1,000 years old), served as the backbone of Garlandia's defense against demon invasion in the epic war five hundred years ago. Five hundred years is enough for mortals (mortals live around one hundred and fifty years old) to complete the reproduction of the last ten generations, but it is only the most precious part of the elves' lives.

Quinn had forgotten how many of his compatriots had died under the butcher's knives of the demon invaders, and he vaguely remembered the feeling of despair and powerlessness that he felt when he saw his childhood sweetheart Niya crouching in a pool of blood, her broken and messy corpse. After that, the young ranger joined the vanguard army against the invaders without hesitation, and under the sacrifice of countless comrades, the 37th year of the outbreak of the war, the Galandia coalition army completely drove the demon army back to the abyss after paying a terrible price.

It takes at least more than 100 to 200 years for elves to train a qualified warrior, and more than eighty percent of young warriors do not survive more than half a year in the fierce battles on the front line. In the final battle, all the dwarves and elf fathers of Shattered Sky Mountain would rather choose to sacrifice themselves than completely close the path of the demons to invade Garandia. It is precisely because of this that these remaining warriors will come to the Demon Realm with the collapse of the Shattered Sky Mountain, and in the end they can only look up at the sky of their hometown in the abyss.

"The short-sighted Grey Rock Clan has only gone through two or three generations of changes, and they have forgotten the painful lessons of the past!?" Quinn stared at Marcellion angrily, in the eyes of the elderly ranger, only the dead demons were truly harmless demons.

"I don't care about the Children of the Abyss and other tribes that are different from other demon clans! I will follow the previous method, seek military assistance from the Gray Rock Clan, and directly expel that group of demons from the Shattered Sky Mountain!"

"But now our dwarven friends have long since become accustomed to a peaceful life, and they don't want to start disputes lightly......" The elder druid looked at his friend in distress, and the battle he had fought side by side made him fully understand why the anger in his old friend's heart was so strong. Marcellion himself didn't want to maintain the area around the Shattered Sky Mountain as a pure land like his hometown. However, the sparse population base of the village and the long growth cycle of the elves have made the strength of the clan more and more distant from the dwarves, even after five hundred years of cultivation. If the dwarves are unwilling to help in this matter, the power of the elves alone will not be able to avoid casualties. And for a village with a population of less than two hundred, each elf is like a relative of the druid elders, an incomparably precious bloodline.

"They don't want to go to war, we elves go on our own! Could it be that with the cover of the forest, the rangers can't catch up with dozens of demons!?"

Sighing helplessly, Marselian knew that Quinn probably wouldn't be able to listen to anything he said now. Although he knew that there were less than ten warriors in the tribe that called themselves Andrari, there was always an unpredictable son of the abyss among them. The fact that he was able to lead so many weak demons through the natural blockade of the swamp to the foot of the Shattered Sky Mountain alone showed that the young tribal leader was not simple. What's more, even if the land around the Shattered Sky Mountain was ten times more elves and dwarves, it would still be able to provide them with enough resources to survive. There is nothing wrong with the concept of the dwarves in theory, as long as those demons have the will to maintain peace, the demon tribe of only a few dozen people poses no threat to the dwarves at all.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the group of demons under the leadership of the children of the abyss do not harbor evil intentions. ...... Even if they are unwilling to keep the secrecy of the Shattered Sky Mountain, the natural barrier formed by the vast swamp will make the Abyss Lords with sufficient combat power reluctant to set foot in it easily.

The elder of Thornleaf Village, Druid Marthrion Changfeng, has always felt that the most difficult thing in this world is probably the mind of the aliens. In the village, the elves have no secrets to hide from each other.

What a headache!
