The "Cloak of Shadows" card has four powerful effects: knockback, negative status removal, invisibility, and blinding.

Seal, Freezing, Burning, Bound, and Petrifying, these five negative states come from the most common restrictive negative states of the five attributes of light, water, fire, wind, and earth.

- Among them, the legal spells such as "arrest" and "shackles" used by the lawgiver belong to [bondage], while "silence" and "stillness" belong to [seal].

This card is the only one that can't remove the negative state of [Curse], which is mainly caused by dark attribute mana, because shadows cannot dispel darkness. That's its biggest flaw.

But even so, it's the best magic card in the "Moon" slot. Many cards from high-level illusions may not be better than this one.

The "Moon" card was originally very loose, and basically the magic cards that could be made tended to be secondary areas such as decontrol, stealth, detection, prophecy, madness, and illusion.

In this card slot, the "Shadow Cloak" brought by Shadow Demon is undoubtedly the most commonly used card - unless the boss has a special mechanism, or the equipment on his body is specialized by Shadow Demon and must bring the Shadow Cellar, otherwise the Mortal Sins Scholar will bring this one by default.

Almost in any case, the Cloak of Shadows will work.

In most cases, players are more likely to be frustrated with the question "should I hand in the Cloak of Shadows now or keep another hand" rather than "this card is useless". Because the tactical value is too high, it is easy to save the underworld if you don't judge the right time.

However, in the current environment, Ivus didn't think he could eat too much control. His main enemies now are the Noble Red Society, which consists mainly of the Transcendental Path. And the curse of the dark attribute "Shadow Cloak" cannot be solved.

Its greatest significance lies in invisibility, and the blinding curse that follows.

The most common invisibility ability comes from the Path of Adaptation, which is known to not curse - meaning that those who try to sweep Avath out of it will be impossible to guard against the blinding curse that follows when the invisibility is lifted.

There is time for invisibility, but there is no curse. If you don't break the spell and don't purify, it will be permanent, and even if you break the spell, it will take time...... That's enough for Ivus or Lily to complete the sneak attack.

This world is still relatively peaceful at present, and the transcendents basically have no consciousness to fight, and the transcendent power is closer to a simple pursuit.

It's not like a player, but it's full of decontrol skills for various situations...... Most of the transcendents in this world do not possess this kind of "preparedness" tactical literacy.

Their countermeasures are generally only aimed at the most common enemies in the surrounding environment - for example, here in Avalon, because the Dusk Path is very rare, basically no one will prepare anti-petrification countermeasures, and even many transcendents who have reached the third and fourth energy levels do not know that the characteristics of the Dusk Path are necromancy and petrification; The path of love is even rarer, and it is rare to see that the steel mind potion cannot be bought in the entire royal capital of Glass Island - charm, fear, madness, sleep, and madness all belong to the realm of the path of love.

Because of the characteristics of the path of love, these states imposed by the path of love are not negative states, and even the illumination of the path of devotion cannot be dispelled. Without special countermeasures, it is very difficult to fight.

To Ewas's surprise, he cleaned up his room and even went out for breakfast...... Lily hadn't even come to say hello yet.

- Something can't have happened to her, right? It can't be reading the tantric book and seeing that the inspiration has dried up and passed out, right?

Evas was a little worried, so he immediately pushed his wheelchair to find him.

"Lily, are you alright? Lily......"

As soon as he pushed open Lily's door, he was startled—her room was covered in dense gray cobwebs.

But the cobwebs seemed to be just hallucinations...... As Ivus stared, they vanished again in the blink of an eye.

"Young Master."

Lily's voice, which had become a little weak and tired, sounded softly, like the voice of a seriously ill person who had just woken up: "Do you want me to serve you in the bath...... Did I wake up late? Sorry......"

It was then that Ivus noticed that Lily was standing quietly in the corner, wearing the glasses that Ivas had given her.

It was as if she had been standing there from the very beginning, but she hadn't noticed it at the first time.

It was precisely because of the authoritarian path spell "Law Order: No Direct Look" attached to [Observer in the Shadows] that Ivus did not notice her existence.

- There is no doubt that she has successfully embarked on the path of adaptation.

She walked lightly, and there was no sound of footsteps at all...... Like a moth and like a spider.

"I'm just here to see if things are going well on your side and if you need my help."

Ivus closed the door softly.

He glanced and found the gray tantric book lying quietly on the side of his pillow.

It has given its stored knowledge to its readers, and at this point it has temporarily lost its mystical qualities and looks like a normal book.

"What's its name?"

Ivus asked. As if he was asking not about a book, but about a pet.

"Spider Silk Continuity." Lily explained.

She relayed to Evasta the secrets of the book—a special kind of heritage that was hidden in the book.

Unlike the Shepherd's Tantra, it does not store a lost legacy, but is closer to a "summon", or a way to use a xenomorph weapon.

- Specifically, "spider silk".

"[Spider Silk] is a special kind of life created by the Gray Celestials, and its essence is a kind of social illusion...... Not individually, but a 'collective'. It has no body, no physical entity, and its carrier is a 'lie'. It is not a contract with me, but a 'symbiosis' with me...... It is also a special way of being to adapt to the path. ”

“…… Falsehood? ”

There is nothing that Eivers does not understand about the concept of symbiosis.

He just muttered in a low voice, thoughtful: "It is worthy of being the creation of the Gray Heavenly Division......"

The Grey Celestial is also one of the nine Celestial Priests who came in the first round, and he rules over the realm of "lies"—things that are neither black nor white, neither evil nor good.

And Lily also unreservedly told Ivus the most important secret in the spider silk secret.

"The hair of a snake, the footsteps of a cat, the cage of a moth, the noose of a centipede......"

Ivus recited the metaphor and roughly guessed something: "A snake has no hair, a cat has no feet, a moth has no cage, and a centipede cannot be hanged—these represent four things that don't exist." Actually, this refers to the apostles of the Lord of the Scales, and the eight realms of the Lord of the Scales in addition to deception.

"The most powerful apostle of the Lord of Scales, Akpolis, his metaphor is the serpent. The snake represents both poison and medicine in the path of adaptation.

"The cat represents camouflage and hunting, and the 'hunters' who have adapted to the path worship the cat, while the moth represents disappearance and change, and is a symbol of disguisers and assassins. The centipede is a symbol of foreknowledge and refuge due to its ability to adapt to various environments, escape from various dangers, and burrow into various caves.

"In addition to this, the realm of the Lord of Scales also includes deception. This realm is very close to the lies of the Grey Celestials, who are presumably hostile to the Lord of the Feathers for this reason......"

Of course, maybe that's not hostility either.

- It is also possible that the Gray Heavenly Division actually means "Boss, do you think you are missing an apostle, as if I am just right". It's quite adaptable.

Ivus added in his mind.

"Spider Silk Secret" tells about the sixty-seven secrets of "spider silk", which is a very complete inheritance. Including the four mysterious skills of [Weaving Lies], [Spider Silk Perception], [Spider Silk Stealth], and [Silk Thread Domination], it can already support a profession...... It's just that this inheritance was born before the emergence of the profession, so Lily didn't get her transcendent profession.

But on the other hand, she can also be said to be the pioneer of this profession. It can be called "Spider Walker" or "Silk Messenger" or something like that...... It's as she pleases.

It only took one night for Lily to become proficient in using three of these abilities.

One is to erase the sound of one's own footsteps, which is "spider silk sneaking"; The second is to open the cobwebs to perceive the "flying insects" that have stepped into the range of their capture. It is also possible to conjure a tough and sharp silk thread as a weapon.

This is the "spider silk" body that Lily has manifested, and it is made up of Lily's lies.

The more solid the lie, the tougher the thread is braided; The sharper the lie, the sharper the thread becomes...... It cannot be quenched, cannot be enchanted, but at the same time does not hurt itself, does not run out, and can be dissipated at any time.

She is still figuring out how this ability should be developed.

When Ivus entered the door before, the dense spider silk he saw was not a hallucination. Instead, Lily is constantly drawing threads, studying her newfound abilities. By the time Ivus entered, she had barely figured out what to do with the silk. At the thought of her, the cobwebs that filled the room vanished like hallucinations.

She probably won't be able to become an assassin anymore. But fortunately, she still has the ability to stealth...... Then the rare equipment that Ivus had prepared for her earlier would still be usable.

Ivus then gave Lily the Stalker in the Shadows as a celebration of her successful entry into the Otherworld.

Lily had seen the waist brace before—she had noticed it when she was helping Evas pack the underwear that Miss Assassin had left in his room, and had even washed it under Aiwas's command.

But she didn't expect that this was actually the gift that Ivas said he was going to give to herself......

However, Lily took it very solemnly and put it on immediately. After all, this is what Ivas has emphasized - something very valuable. And after putting it on, she immediately sensed that her "spider silk stealth" ability had become smoother.

Before, it was just a joke that Aihuas's wheelchair could drive autonomously.

But now that Lily was pushing the wheelchair behind Iwas, it was really hard to notice that there was someone behind Iwas. If Lily hadn't spoken, ordinary people wouldn't have noticed her presence at all.

With Lily's protection, Ivas doesn't have to wear an asbestos collar even when he goes out to Lloyd's. Even if someone was about to attack Ivus, Lily could immediately sense the danger - the equivalent of an external hostile reminder and an invisible moving real eye.

This real eye is even quite capable of fighting!

And there is a high probability that it can fight more than Ivus without equipment...... With two core purple suits on her body, Lily's one-hit sneak attack may even pose a direct threat to Haina. And her perception range is much more reliable than Hayna's.

Now the personal maid has become a personal bodyguard. If Ivas wants to go out, he doesn't always have to drag someone with him.

And it would be good for him to take Lily out of the house - he could use Shadow Fiend if he was in danger. This is something that cannot be done when going out with Sherlock or Hayna.

Because Lily is aware of the existence of the Shadow Fiend, and will keep it a secret for Evas. As long as Ivas can clean up the evidence.

Even if it's not as a maid and bodyguard, just as a teammate is undoubtedly very reliable.

With Lily's talent, maybe she can really catch up with her first advance ceremony......

So, this time, Ivas didn't call Haina to protect him, but went out with Lily directly.

They followed the address given by the elven butler to Bishop Mathers' house. That is, "Lady Mina's Fortune Shop".

Sherlock was now recuperating there, and Iwas, who was in the newspapers, had to find a way to explain to Bishop Mathers why he was able to activate the sword sealed in the key......

A lie needs to be covered up with a hundred lies, and Bishop Mathers can sense the level of Ivus's dedication path...... Now he is already the second energy level.

Therefore, Ivas decided not to act directly. There is no need to hide your talents, or it is useless to hide them anyway. As soon as the Holy Sword, which required thirty-three mana points to conjure, came out, Bishop Mathers understood everything.

So Ivas decided to preempt the showdown. Not only to Bishop Mathers, but also to Sherlock.

"- Yes, I went straight to the level when I went back that day and succeeded. And next month I'm going to advance to the third level. ”

Ivas was going to say that then.

In this way, Sherlock will most likely be able to guess who the "fox" is.

- What if both Sherlock and Isabel knew they were "foxes", but at the same time thought the other didn't know......

What kind of wonderful reaction will the two of them have at the advanced ceremony?

Ivas felt like he had a bad heart.
