An eight-ring shadow wizard named Jikamodo, he is one of the five chief city guardians of the Exiled City Vigilance.

The spell he was using at the moment was called "Gisley's Shadow Escape", or "Shadow Escape" for short.

The learning condition of this spell is to reach the level of the six rings and absorb the energy of the shadows.

The Six-Ring Shadow Wizard can use this spell to divide himself into 6 Dark Shadows, 7 in the Seven Rings, 8 in the Eighth Ring, and so on.

As long as any of the shadows escape from the enemy's range, the rest of the shadows can teleport to the vicinity of that shadow, and then merge with it, becoming the wizard himself, and leaving the battlefield.

It must be difficult to catch such an enemy, right?

The difficulties are there, but not as great as imagined.

First of all, when a dark shadow teleports to another black shadow, it is necessary to "read the note", that is, to perform a spell casting chant.

Secondly, there is a limit to the teleportation distance between the black shadow and the black shadow, which cannot exceed the energy perception range of the wizard himself - the perception range of Jikamodo is 2600 meters.

Finally, this spell is extremely stressful on the wizard himself, quickly draining the wizard's energy and shadow energy.

Based on these three constraints, the shadow wizard named Jikamodo looked arrogant and comfortable in the thunder and lightning bombardment, but in fact, he was somewhat restless inside.

If he can't get rid of Li Nuo's offensive as soon as possible, then sooner or later he will show his flaws.

Among his eight black shadows, as long as one of them was sealed by Li Nuo, then he would immediately fall into passivity.

Even if he forcibly fuses the seven black shadows and turns back into human form, his strength will be damaged, and even a spell will backlash.

Li Nuo used deconstruction to find out the details of the "Shadow Escape Technique".

A little trick took shape in his mind.

He first changed the target of the "Tracking Thunder Arrow Circle".

The original magic circle targeted 8 black shadows.

Now, with Li Nuo's adjustment, only 7 Black Shadows will be able to withstand the saturation blow of the Tracking Lightning Arrow.

The remaining black shadow became a "fish that slipped through the net", and Li Nuo deliberately lowered the intensity of the attack against it.

The effect of this adjustment will be visible in more than ten seconds.

At that time, the black shadow that has become a "fish that has slipped through the net" will easily pass through the encirclement of the tracking thunderbolt at a very fast speed.

From beginning to end, Jikamodo would only think that he had succeeded in escaping with unremitting efforts, and would not suspect that Li Nuo had deliberately released the water.

In order to make the play more realistic, Li Nuo used several "Sonic Shock Magic Scrolls", setting off several turbulent waves.

"Boom Boom~~"

The "sonic blast" was like a rainbow, stirring up the air in the stalagmite woodland.

One after another, stalagmites broke and collapsed, dusty and rubble splattered.

In the eyes of Jikamodo, this kind of majestic scene is the best evidence that Li Nuo is trying his best to catch up with him.

Invisibly, the flight speed of the 8 black shadows was fast and fast, and they couldn't wait to rush to the vicinity of Exile City now.

Could there be some ambush from the Exile City, squatting on the way and catching Li Nuo off guard?

Li Nuo had concerns about this.

However, after using deconstruction to "scan" Jikamodo's panel information and memory fragments, this concern was dispelled by Li Nuo.

[Memory fragment 1: "The Action Plan of the Vigilance Regiment", 100% completeness]

In this proposal, Jikamodo is the chief guardian in charge of reconnaissance.

This guy was promoted to the Eight Rings through special means, and the number of spells he mastered was not as good as that of a normal Eight Rings Shadow Wizard.

In addition, although he has the nickname of "Battle Wizard", as Li Nuo speculated, he is better at "escaping" and "saving his life" than fighting head-on.

The ones who are really in charge of the frontal battle are the other two eight-ring shadow battle wizards hidden in the team of the Dark Dead Laborers.

Li Nuo found the information of the two from the plan, and he was not in a hurry to deal with them for the time being.

The reason is that these two have mastered the spell to open the shadow plane.

On the premise that Li Nuo couldn't crack the shadow plane, he ran into the other two head-on, which was purely thankless.

The good news is that the solution lies in Jikamodo.

In this guy's magic container, there is a set of magic books that record the magical knowledge of the Dark Dead.

With this set of classics in hand, the Eight-Ring Dark Dead Wizard will be trampled under Li Nuo's feet.

"Boom! I escaped! Look how you stop me! ”

A black shadow burst out of the encirclement that tracked the thunderbolt and let out an arrogant laugh.

It was the black shadow that Li Nuo deliberately let go.

The black shadow maintained a high-speed flight posture as it transformed into a black disc with seven notches.

The 7 black shadows that were pinned down by the tracking lightning arrow changed.

They flickered several times in a row, emitting bursts of black light, and their bodies changed from a thick black mist to a transparent tulle.

When the frequency of the black light flickering peaked, the seven black shadows made a "buzzing" noise in unison.

"Poof~"

Seven black shadows exploded at the same time, turning into a transparent mist.

When they reappeared, they had already come to the black disc, embedded in the seven notches of the black disc.

The black disc is complete.

The disc wriggled a few times in the air, transforming into a middle-aged wizard with a dark appearance.

His body is a translucent gray, with earthworm-like black lines on the surface of his skin, and some terrible black spots mixed in.

He is Jikamodo.

After this guy condensed from the 8th group of black shadows into a human form, his flight speed remained the same, but he had a lot of means to counter the enemy.

He pulled out a black wand wrapped in bandages, and quickly hooked the magic lines, while muttering words and using some kind of spell.

The dark aura of the shadow magic pattern exploded the moment it took shape, forming several black discs suspended in the air.

These black discs hover vertically in the air, like portals made of spells.

Some kind of multi-knotted shadow monster reached out of the black disc and pounced on the oncoming tracking lightning bolt.

This knotted shadow monster resembles a black centipede, with a surface covered in ring-shaped armor shards and a belly with many slender black feet.

In each black disc with a diameter of five meters, such a terrifying multi-knotted shadow monster emerged.

Their heads are similar to those of a steam locomotive, hard and dark, and they spray a thick shadow mist as they move.

The heads of the multi-knotted shadow monsters collided with the tracking lightning bolts, erupting with an earth-shattering loud sound.

Electric snakes scurried around, and shadow mist surged violently.

Between the two, the thunder and lightning energy was quickly dissolved by the shadow mist.

The multi-knotted Shadow Monster stops the trailing Thunderbolt for Jikamodo.

Not only that, but the shadow mist that sprayed out of the monster's skull also arranged a wall of mist, blocking the way to track the thunderbolt.

Jikamodo let out a wild laugh and turned to speed towards Exile City.

"Hahaha! Just have fun with my little darling!! ”

Behind Gikamodo, the knotted shadow monster emerged from the black disc, revealing its full size.

They are over 200 meters long and resemble centipedes that have been put together hundreds of times longer.

Although they have many black feet, they can fly through the air and move extremely fast.

The multi-node Shadow Monster nimbly shuttles between stalagmites, spraying shadow mist frantically, thickening the walls of the mist, and welcoming more and more tracking lightning bolts.

Gicamordo glanced back and confirmed that all of the tracking bolts had been stopped by his summons.

He smiled treacherously, and his laughter was full of pride.

"You're finished, Thunderbolt Wizard! I know where your magic array is that fires these bolts! The next time we meet again, it's your death!! ”

Gicamo laughed and flew along.

"Click..."

A faint cracking sound came from under his magic robes.

Jikamodo's complexion changed drastically, instantly changing from translucent gray to a white color.

He jerked up his hand and grabbed the psychic protective pendant that hung from his chest.

"Oops!"

In the palm of Jikamodo's hand, the high-level psychic protection pendant was almost completely scrapped.

It only takes another three to five seconds for it to shatter into dozens of pieces.

Jikamodo's psychic protection pendant is only of a high-level level, not a holy level.

It doesn't automatically repair damage and restore the Psychic Shield's shield value!

Shadow creatures have the "Shadow Mind Recoil perk" perk.

Gikamodo also has such a trait.

Anyone who uses a psychic spell on him will incur an automatic counterattack from Shadow Mind Recoil.

Because of this, Jikamodo thought that there was no need to spend a lot of money to give himself a whole saint-level psychic protection pendant.

Now, it's too late for him to regret it.

"Click, click!"

The sound of the pendant shattering exploded in Gikamodo's ears.

"Bang!!"

His skull was ignited by a psychic spell, and his entire person exploded into dozens of shadow fragments from the inside out.

"You can't stop me!!"

Gicamoro roared unwillingly.

Dozens of shadow shards swam in different directions, trying to find a way to survive.

That's it!

"Boom, boom!"

The earth shook and the mountains shook, and a mountain phantom formed by the condensation of rock and soil energy appeared directly above the shadow fragment out of thin air!

"Boom!"

The mountain phantom slammed down, blocking the path of the shadow fragments in all directions.

This is a level 100 "Falling Technique"!

High-level rock and soil magic!

Festa, the butler from Dikra Fagan!

This was the first time that Li Nuo had used this amazing rock and earth magic.

The shadow of the mountain, which is temporarily constructed by geotechnical energy, looks translucent and a little weak.

But its weight is real.

A mountain with a radius of one kilometer weighs more than 50,000 tons.

Such a behemoth was pressed down, even the magic ship of the Nine-Ring Metal Wizard had to kneel.

It's also thanks to the fact that this spell is a magic spell and has been included in the "Promotion Fortress", otherwise, Li Nuo would not be able to use 1000 energy points and 1000 points of rock and soil energy to cast it.

Jikamodo's shadow fragment was crushed under him by the mountain phantom.

Shadow Shards are pure energy bodies.

At best, the Mountain Phantom uses its weight and size to prevent the Shadow Fragment from continuing to swim, and cannot actually crush the Shadow Fragment.

As long as Jikamodo exerts more effort and burrows into the relatively soft soil, there is still a chance to escape from under the shadow of the mountain.

Li Nuo won't give this guy any chance.

He uses "perceptual tampering" and flying spells to avoid the multi-segmented shadow monsters and come to the side of the mountain phantom.

The mountain phantom crushed the stalagmites in patches, leaving visible dents in the ground.

Looking through the earthy brown mountain of the mountain phantom, Li Nuo saw the shadow fragments struggling at the bottom of the mountain.

He picked up his hands and pointed in the direction of the Shadow Shard.

"Rock Imprisonment"!

The mountains near the Shadow Shards changed rapidly, and there was a clattering sound, and dozens of thick and strong rock pillars rose from the ground, creating a tight rock cage.

In just half a second of event, the rock cage sealed all the retreats of the Shadow Shards!

"No!! You bastard!! Let me go!! You're screwed!! You're screwed!! The Lord of Soler is my uncle!! If you do it to me..."

Without waiting for Jikamodo to finish yelling, Li Nuo connected dozens of times with his fingertips!

"Evil Explosives"!

"Boom Boom~~~"

Dozens of shadow fragments exploded, exploding one purple-black spark of death.

Gikamodo's voice stopped abruptly.

[System News:]

[You have eliminated "The Eight-Ring Dark Dead's Chief Protector Gikamodo.] 】

[Since you have completely deconstructed this goal, you will not be rewarded with Energy Points.] 】

[Target's panel information and memory clips updated.] 】

Li Nuo glanced at the systematic words in his mind and put them aside.

He dispersed the mountain phantom summoned by the "Falling Mountain Technique" and released the rock cage of the "Rock Imprisonment Technique".

The ghost of the mountain disappears, and the landscape will not be restored.

If there is no external force to intervene, the huge crater caused by the downward pressure of the mountain will remain on the ground.

And in the middle of the crater, where Jikamodo's shadow fragment was detonated by the "Evil Explosion Technique", a black, translucent leather bag hovered there.

Leno threw deconstruction at the thing and nodded secretly, it was exactly what he was looking for.

…

Name: Shadow Leather Bag

[Item Level] Level 81

[Volume] 500 cubic meters

【Features】

1. Shadow Hide

This artifact can be hidden in magical artifacts made from Shadow Energy, including but not limited to the Wizard's Shadow Magic Organs, Shadow Magic Tattoos, etc.

2. Exclusion of non-dark

This item can only be used to store Shadow items, and any items that do not possess Shadow Energy cannot be placed in it.

(The rest of the solutions are formed by the results omitted)

…

The magic book that Jikamodo carried with him was hidden in this magic container called the Shadow Leather Bag.

Li Nuo used the "Heart Grasp" to take it, used the rune wand to break the magic lock, and then used a specific gesture to reach into it, closing the magic mechanism inside.

At this point, this Shadow Container, which could only be used to hold Shadow Magic Items, became a trophy under Li Nuo's complete control.

Li Nuo looked around, and the place where he saw was full of devastation.

The multi-knotted shadow monsters summoned by Jikamodo are called "Shadow Cavity Worms".

After Gikamodo's death, the Shadow Coomen has been forced to disband and disappear without a trace.

Li Nuo used "perceptual enhancement" and deconstruction to confirm that there were no enemies at the scene.

He scanned the crater created by the Falling Mountain and decided not to leave the slightest clue to the enemy.

A "High-level Environmental Repair Magic Scroll" is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.

This magic scroll was drawn by a nature wizard and was specially used to repair special terrain caused by magic.

Each scroll is priced at 7,000,000 gold coins with no discount.

Li Nuo is not short of money now, and he did not hesitate to tear open one and erase the pits left by the "Falling Mountain Technique".

Not only that, but the stalagmites that were crushed by the Void of the Mountain were also restored to their original state under the operation of the "Advanced Environmental Restoration Technique".

When Li Nuo summoned to track down the thunderbolt and erase the nearby natural energy with lightning energy, all traces of battle involving rock and earth magic and death magic disappeared.

"The City of Exile will definitely send someone to check on the cause of Jikamodo's death and look for his relics. That being the case... Hey, hey, hey, then I'll just squat here. ”

Li Nuo laughed secretly in his heart, threw himself a "psychic illusion", and used a "high-level stealth technique".

In order to prevent the Eight-Ring Assassins who might come here from discovering him, Li Nuo also laid an anti-detection magic enchantment and a layer of illusion to disguise himself as a stalagmite.

With layers of spells covering his body and "tracking markers" to provide warnings, the possibility of Li Nuo being discovered by the enemy is very, very small.

Li Nuo enters a state of silence and activates "telepathy" to contact Noreen.

"How's the situation with the Dark Laborers? Noreen. Leno asked.

"Sir, as you commanded, I did not use psychic spells to spy on their whereabouts. I only used a recon machine with a night vision lens to make observations. ”

Noreen responded:

"According to the latest observations, the group of Shadow Laborers is building a magical barrier made of magic circles 30 kilometers south of the temporary base. The bulwark is suspended in the air and may have long-range firepower. According to the battle plan, when the energy intensity of the magic array reaches its peak, I will control the capacitor package to launch an attack. ”

Li Nuo smiled secretly, and did not hesitate to praise words:

"You're doing well, keep coming according to plan."

"Yes, sir, but—" Noreen said with a hint of apology:

"But, I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't use the night vision lens to distinguish the Dead of the Eighth Ring from the ranks of laborers. This is a big hidden danger. ”

"It's okay, I know it in my heart, everything just goes according to plan."

Li Nuo has a plan for the Exiled City in his hand, as well as a set of shadow magic books, which can be said to be full of confidence.

As soon as he got his hands on the magic tome, he launched harmless deconstruction.

This set of magic texts is called "Study Notes of the Dark Master", and there are five books in total, covering everything from wizard students to high-level wizards.

From it, Leno deconstructed more than a dozen blueprints for the production of shadow magic items, six spell blueprints with 10% completeness, and a knowledge skill called "Shadow Magic Mastery".

Of course, the most crucial thing also appears in understanding the composition of the results.

The "Dark Dead Cipher", a set of magical runes that can be used to strengthen the magic shield and make the Shadow Subplane treat itself as an ally, has become a treasure for Li Nuo.

Even if the two Eight Rings Dark Dead appeared in front of Li Nuo, it would not cause him any fatal pressure.

Li Nuo even wondered in his heart whether he should take the initiative to find fault in the team of hard laborers...

As he pondered, he threw his "Psychic Vision" at the "tracking marker" near the laborers.

He wanted to take a closer look at the team and lock on to the other two before they alerted the Dark Dead of the Eighth Ring.

The magical vision expanded, but the mental alarm that "others are about to find themselves peeping in the dark" did not appear in Li Nuo's heart.

"Huh? Where did the Eight-Ring Dark Dead in the team go? Did they both leave the Dark Dead Laborers? ”

Li Nuoyi raised his eyebrows:

"Aren't they both going to go to the place where Jikamodo was killed?"

As soon as this thought came to Li Nuo's mind, two dark eyes swept around Li Nuo, containing the meaning of scrutiny and vigilance.

Li Nuo's heart rang an alarm bell.

The two did come.

The Perception Enhancement told Leno that they were now two kilometers away, investigating the stalagmite terrain that had been repaired by the Advanced Environmental Restoration Technique.

Li Nuo's heart was pounding, and this was the first time he had faced two eight-ring battle wizards at the same time.

Is it a battle, or is it a slip away?

Li Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Having mastered the "Secret Script of the Dark Dead", he has a winning rate of about 80% against the two Eight Rings Battle Wizards.

But no matter what, it's not 10 percent.

In order to seek stability, Li Nuo decided to add some victory chips to himself.

"Noreen, leave behind 200 capacitor pack mechs to harass the Assassin Labor Team and slow down the construction of the Magical Barrier. The remaining 300 capacitor pack automaton spirits are moving closer to me, and pay attention to concealment. ”

"Yes, sir."

Noreen knew that the situation had changed, and immediately began to carry out Li Nuo's orders, without further inquiry. (End of chapter)
