But Chloe hesitated, but did not touch the key first.

I don't know if this key has any early warning function...... But it's better to take it at the end, just in case.

The closer she got to victory, the more Chloe calmed down. I began to think about all kinds of possibilities, and I thought about my own omissions and mistakes.

After a quiet review, it was confirmed that there were no loopholes.

Ivas was also really drunk, and there was nothing unusual about his various behaviors in his sleep.

That's why she boldly stepped forward. He took out a dark red lipstick from his bosom and gently applied it to himself.

The basic ability to adapt to the path is the ability to resist poison and disease, and the higher the level, the stronger it is. Because of this, they can swallow large amounts of herbs without worrying about side effects, or eat any visible creature in the wild to replenish energy and nutrition. A lot of poisons are useless for themselves, but for others. Through this cognitive difference, the ability to adapt to the path of assassination is very strong.

As a member of the "Eagle Eye" organization, she can know from the organization how to make various secret poisons and curse poisons. In addition to applying the creamy poison to the Eagle Feather knives, she also made them into portable and concealed lipsticks that were triggered with a lethal kiss.

Of course, there is no special meaning in this. It's just a bad taste of hers...... If I have to say, a kiss is always lighter than putting lipstick on the other person. But in fact, all she really wants to do is "kiss".

The kiss that quietly takes the life of someone else gives a romantic and attractive feeling. It's as if you're a legendary succubus or a banshee. There's a sense of ritual.

But Chloe now looks back...... Perhaps I have been inclined to the path of love from the very beginning. The habit of this way is actually constantly strengthening the nature of her own love path, and she herself has never been aware of it. It's only now that she really realizes how strong her desires are.

It's like she's always dressed up in clothes that are a little too revealing and conspicuous for the people of Avalon. This seemed a bit too high-profile for an Assassin.

She has always disguised herself as a believer in the path of beauty, but she may be more suitable for the path of love. Unfortunately, Iris's path of love is completely controlled by the Moonchild, and she may be able to leave the Order, but she will never become the Moonchild—otherwise she will be found and killed by her colleagues.

— but that's okay too.

When I get this sacred weapon, I will have the confidence to negotiate with the organization.

Putting on lipstick, Chloe looked at the sleeping and drunken Ivas and smiled.

…… If you take a closer look, although it looked quite annoying before, this young man still looks quite handsome now.

Then kiss him, I won't lose.

She leaned over and kissed Ivas softly—but for some reason, her waist was only halfway up.

She could already smell the faint smell of wine coming out of the mouth of the sleeping Ivace, and the smell of the opposite sex coming from him. But her waist seemed to be anesthetized, and she couldn't move at all.

"-Have you had enough trouble?"

A cold female voice sounded in her head.

Judging from the voice and tone, she looks like a strong and arrogant mature woman.

- Not the valet of Ivus.

Damn, there's someone else in this room in ambush?!

Chloe came to her senses in an instant, and subconsciously melted into the shadows, broke free from the shackles of unknown origin, and infiltrated the shadow of Ehuas.

But unlike every shadow stealth before it—

Or rather, the last time she had infiltrated Ehuath's shadow. A great, intense sense of fear gripped her heart.

— but she didn't have time to escape.

The shadow that used to pass freely is now like frozen ice, cold and solid.

It was as if she had thrown herself into a cage, frozen herself in ice.

And the cold voice taunted in her ear: "You thief who steals the power of shadows, but you trust this power......"

And at this moment, Chloe only felt that the world was spinning.

When she regained her sight, she saw Ivus lying on the bed becoming far away.

And their own perspective......

- It's like being sealed in a mirror!

And the "other self", which looks almost exactly like himself, but the hair color and eye color are pure black, stood in his position just now, sneering at Chloe in the mirror.

She slowly "approached" the mirror and came closer—her "walking" was just a gesture, when in fact she was floating. Half of her feet melt into the ground when she walks. And her body did not rise and fall due to walking, but emitted a faint black smoke.

In the mirror, Chloe's body is completely uncontrolled. She is forced to make the same movements as herself outside the mirror, and closes closer to her "alter self" that terrifies her.

It wasn't until the "other self" got closer that Chloe noticed...... Her pupils and hair were not black, but a constant flow of nothingness. It's not the kind of black that reflects light and can see the hair, but "it doesn't exist".

Her skin was also so white that it was ghostly, with an almost translucent texture...... Only the clothes on the body are physical.

- Who are you?

Chloe wanted to speak, but couldn't even open her mouth. It's as if I've really become a reflection.

But outside the mirror, he seemed to hear his own heart, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a rather charming smile.

But at this time, he was sealed in the mirror, but he did not make the same action at the same time.

In the mirror, Chloe still has short, caramel-colored curly hair. Fear appeared on her face, and her beautiful countenance was distorted.

"Followers of the Lord of Scales, thieves who steal the scales of fish, and steal the feathers of birds...... Now, don't you even remember who your strength comes from? ”

She scoffed, stretching out her thin, white fingers and sliding them over Chloe's cheek.

Click-

Chloe seemed to hear a phantom sound. It was as if her soul had been sliced, and there was an indescribable pain—her mirror image had been cut open by a crack, and she couldn't utter a word.

Her mind went blank with pain, but soon the word came flooding into her heart—

- Who does your power come from?

It's Shadow Fiend!

…… There's a Shadow Fiend in the shadow of Eivus?!

How can it be!

But...... If this is true......

In that instant, she understood everything.

Why was Ivus able to see himself, why was he not afraid of himself at all, why was he terrified when he entered Ivus's shadow......

And she also understood that what Ivas said at the banquet was just a trap and disguise for herself!

- What a priest, what a hero! It's all fake!

He's not a good thing at all - a demon scholar who can make a contract with a superior demon can't be so young!

This must be some extremely powerful demon scholar who worked part-time in the Dusk Path, reincarnated into Aihuas's body, and stole his identity and body!

At that moment, remorse hit her heart.

If she had another chance, she would never provoke Ivus!

But it's too late.

There's no way she's going to escape from the Shadow Fiend!

The power to adapt to the path comes from imitating others. Whether it's poison, foresight, invisibility, regeneration, or other abilities, they all come from the imitation of other life in nature. And her shadow stealth skill is the ability that the predecessors of the Hawkeye organization built by imitating the demon "Shadow Fiend".

However, it was piracy after all, and they couldn't really capture a Shadow Fiend to copy its talent. This is just a weakened version of the ability built through observation and imagination.

Now she knows that the Shadow Demon's control of the "shadow" actually includes the mirror image!

It's not so much that he can catch her, but that the Shadow Fiend has already caught her, and then specially shows her how the real Shadow Fiend hunts......

"I don't mind if you copied its talent from one of my kinds. But it's so ugly, like a toad singing and a donkey dancing. I felt like an elephant was smacking over my head...... It's noisy. ”

The Shadow Fiend's voice was full of malice, and Chloe became more aware that the Shadow Fiend's voice was gradually drawing closer to herself—from her arrogant, mature female voice to her honey-like seductive voice.

"And, more importantly - the shadow of the master, that is my territory."

Her voice was soft but cold, and her slender fingers pierced through the mirror and grasped the neck of the person in the mirror: "You crossed the line, thief.

"If it weren't for the kindness of my master, I would have torn you apart. Fortunately, with the blessing of the snake father, you dare to come back.

"You're even stupid enough to want to kill my master—who do you think you are? So weak, yet so confident......"

Chloe in the mirror, in pain, her whole body is constantly corroded by shadows. The edges of the floor-to-ceiling mirror were also gradually oozing blood, as if this was not a solid mirror, but an iron virgin gradually closing.

And before Chloe lost consciousness, the voice of the Shadow Fiend sounded in her heart, "If you copy mine, then I will copy yours too." It just so happens that I still lack a set of skins that are suitable for human aesthetics.

"Since you're trying to steal the shadows...... Your voice and face are mine.

"In human terms, this should be called debt settlement."

As she spoke, the Shadow Fiend's fingers touched the mirror and gave her a big cross, "You're insolvent now, miss." ”

In an instant, Chloe was already full of cracked souls, completely shredded by Shadow Fiend's nails.

Until the next day, Ivus woke up groggily, and he was not woken up by the Shadow Fiend.

This is what he had agreed with the Shadow Fiend to quietly kill the assassin. There is no need to wake him up if there is nothing special.

This is also his expression of his trust in Shadow Fiend.

"How was it last night?"

The first time he woke up, he asked in his heart, "What were her last words?"

Ivus wasn't worried that the Shadow Fiend would let her go.

Because when he woke up, a pop-up window had already appeared in front of him:

[Kill the 4th Level Transcendent and gain 120 Free XP]

It's about a hundred times lower than the Deformed Limb Demon, but the experience of sending it to the door by himself is enough. Counting the experience that Ivus didn't use up before, he already has 364 free experience points. In this way, after advancing to the Demon Scholar at the beginning of the month, Ivas will be able to advance continuously at the beginning of next month - it only takes two months to directly climb to the third energy level!

What now restricts Ivus has become the cooldown of the ritual. Of course, in order to prevent experience overflow, it is better to read the book normally in the front, and finally use free experience to make up the level.

A little can be saved, is a little!

Eivas was just a little uneasy—the Shadow Fiend wasn't going to tear everything out of her body and corrode it, would he?

"I remember I told you that she kept all the equipment she could keep...... Where did you put it? ”

He asked, "And yes." The floor isn't dirty, is it? ”

She had no last words, and she didn't say a word until she died. I just regret offending you. ”

And the voice of the Shadow Demon, which was different from yesterday and more human-like than yesterday, sounded in his heart: "The loot is on the sofa next to it, all there, master...... As for her blood, I have eaten it all. No traces will be left. ”

Ivas looked over - really.

The clothes were neatly folded, orderly and sorted. It's like taking it off and putting it there. Very intact and not damaged at all.

“…… Has Lily been here? ”

Aihuas's first reaction was, did Lily come over and set it up?

But he soon realized that he had warned Lily last night not to call him today. She wouldn't enter her room without permission.

This Shadow Fiend...... Quite organized?

The update is complete, and I'm asking for votes~
