Chapter 18: Growth and Shadow
It's been six days since I went to the toy city with Xiaoyu that day.
After sending Xiaoyu back, Dylan took off the sign that was closed, and he really lived the life of an antique shop owner.
A few days later, a serious merchant came to see his goods, but unfortunately because of the high price, the merchant chose to shake his head and leave.
After all, Dylan made the price based on his feelings, and he didn't care if he could sell something.
In the middle, the girls have been here a few times, and each time they are cooler than the others.
Unfortunately, this was nonsense for Dylan, and he even wanted to laugh, but out of politeness he gently sent them away.
In the middle, Chen Long and Dad were very busy, because of Daddy's research on various documents, Chen Long even went to Japan and found the flower card that can show the location of the mask and remove the potion in the original book.
Unlike in the original book, this time they didn't find the next mask, and Tara and his gang didn't know where they were, what they were doing sneakily.
In the middle, Dylan went to Daddy's antique store a few times and helped Daddy find some information, but more often than not, he went through Daddy's part of his collection.
But most importantly, he learned the news of Long Chen's departure yesterday, and he was on his way to find the Encyclopedia of Spells.
Dylan had never actually seen this secret book of demons compiled by Ximu and the Holy Lord, and at the beginning, the creation of this book was just an idea between demons.
Dylan also had Atlantean servants to help him collect those magic books at that time, and with the longevity of his life after being reincarnated as a demon, he gradually abandoned the urgency of being a human being.
Even the world trip that investigated the righteous and black qi at the beginning was just that he wanted to go to the world, and the importance of the investigation should be placed after that.
When he first returned to this world, he did consider looking for the book, but eventually gave up.
That book is only known to be placed in a library on a mountain, but there are so many mountains in the world, how can he find it.
Most of the people who know its location are senior mages and wizards like Daddy, and it is not difficult to take them down, after all, he does not have the backhands of the immortal gods and saint warriors, but the difficult thing is how to quietly hide the righteousness and take them down.
Once he is locked by righteousness, then the troubles will definitely come one after another.
This world has not entered the era of the end of the law, the silence of magic is only a special reason, if he is exposed to the sun, compared to the peak of other demons, the strength is far less powerful Dylan, but there is no sense of security at all.
Side-knocking is easy to arouse Daddy's suspicion, but Daddy takes the initiative to look for him, and he is not at risk of being exposed.
He allowed Tara's presence and actions, as well as the habit of borrowing books that he had created before, to be without this consideration.
However, the purpose of learning modern magic is true.
It is estimated that it will be one to two days before Long Chen's return, and now he has one more important matter.
Because he has entered the period of demonic growth.
Standing in front of the window, Dylan surveyed his surroundings and eventually locked on to the west side, as there was a woodland over there.
Locking the door of the store with his magic casually, he jumped directly from the window, and without waiting to fall, he flew directly with the power of floating and speed.
Hiding his body and aura, I have to say that although the Holy Lord's strength has weakened a lot after differentiating into a charm, his ability is indeed more comprehensive.
After flying hundreds of meters above the ground, Dylan increased the force of his speed, and with a roaring sonic boom, he sped away from San Francisco.
A few minutes later, Dylan stopped in the air above a near-primeval forest, sensed all the qi around him, and after making sure that there was no one, he slowly landed below.
Stomping on the wet dirt and looking at the verdant trees around him, Dylan gradually relaxed.
From time to time, there was the chirping of birds and the chirping of unknown insects.
When getting along with his fathers, although it is good, there is always a tight string in his heart, and if he is recognized, I am afraid that he will break with them on the spot.
There is no possibility of reconciliation between demons and humans, in this world, and in this era.
Stretching his arms wide, Dylan stretched.
As the movement progressed, his body disintegrated again, and the hideous black qi form reappeared.
But compared to the last time, this time he was nearly three meters tall, a full third taller.
Easily waved his arm to get used to it, and then Dylan slammed it, and the air attached to the claws was thrown out at high speed, crossing a distance of more than a meter, cutting off a thumb-thick branch.
Nodding with satisfaction, although this body has no substance, his claws can indeed touch the real thing, and the strength is not weak.
After all, he is a demon, even if he has not entered the maturity stage, even if he is not good at strength, but the power brought by the innate racial superiority is still beyond the reach of other races.
It's a pity that the balance of yin and yang, the most powerful ability of black qi, cannot be used in this world, but it is the power of shadow that he has finally found his way.
Especially after completely absorbing the power of the ghost mask, he seems to feel a different dimension without using his own traversal ability.
That is, the Shadow Kingdom.
However, it is still Tara's territory for now, and he doesn't plan to go straight to someone else's home until he gets more of the Mask power.
But it's still okay to use some ninja soldiers.
Instead of summoning the ninja first, Dylan first tried his power in the shadows.
Waving his hand towards the shadows of the trees, the shadows on the ground seemed to come to life, wriggling and entangled into a tentacle that was almost substantial.
Swinging in the direction Dylan indicated, he cut off an ancient tree more than a meter in diameter.
Then Dylan walked up to the shadow tentacle and stretched out his hand towards the shadow, and the palm of the black gas directly sank into the shadow.
With a slight pull, a shadow sword formed by Dylan's mind was drawn.
The shadows of the trees gradually turned pale, and then quietly dissipated into the air.
There were several strangely shaped holes left in the ground, and the shape of the roots could be faintly seen when you looked down the holes.
After a few random slashes of trees and stones, the Shadow Sword met no significant resistance.
Throw the shadow sword on the ground at will, and the moment it touches the ground, the shadow sword turns into a black liquid and spreads into a faint wavy shadow surface.
The stones, flowers, and insects on it all did not resist to fall into it.
Hastily experimented with his abilities, and Dylan was quite satisfied.
It's just the way shadows are used, and it's the strength of his manipulation of them.
After feeling the same, Dylan snapped his fingers.
Then his shadow stretched out, and a pair of scarlet and cold eyes appeared in it, and one by one the ninja soldiers were summoned.
They bowed respectfully before Dylan and obeyed him.
The place of return of these soldiers is no longer in the Shadow Kingdom, but with him.
The number of summons also depends only on Dylan's strength, and there is no upper limit.
Looking at the ninja soldiers around him who were close to a hundred, Dylan gave his first order.
"Bring me the cup of life in Mantab."
Chen Long was so busy, it was estimated that he would not be going to the Lost City with him, and he didn't want to waste time going to that place.
A city with a history of several hundred years, it definitely has no weak force in its hands, and a hundred ninja soldiers are sent to ensure success.
In the original book, two ordinary people can steal it, which is obviously a joke.
The ninjas bowed respectfully, then sank into the shadows, speeding toward the spot Dylan remembered.
