Chapter 39: The Dark Shadow (Monday Monthly Pass Recommendation Ticket)

The moment she saw the dark shadow, Bernadette didn't have time to be afraid, she instinctively clenched her right hand and condensed an ancient spear.

From the tip to the handle, the spear was stained with a dark red color of blood or a little bit, exuding a strong aura of destruction, as if it could hurt the true gods.

"Spear of Longinus"!

This spear once appeared in an ancient era that cannot be traced, stained with the blood of a great being, and at this time, through a "mysterious reappearance", it descended into the mausoleum of the "Black Emperor".

However, Bernadette's forward stab had no effect, as the tip of the spear was pointed behind her.

She was obviously going to attack the black shadow in front of her, but the "Spear of Longinus" was strangely handed back.

The area seems to be chaotic or distorted.

Above the gray mist, Klein inside the palace had already noticed when the dark shadow stood out in front of Bernadette, and he did not hesitate to raise the "Star Staff" in his hand.

At this moment, he didn't wait, didn't wait to see what the "mysterious queen" would do before thinking about whether he should provide protection, because the danger of the dark shadow gave him, the angel of the "soothsayer" path, a clear premonition.

In addition, and more importantly, after Bernadette entered the tomb of the "Black Emperor", she was able to sense the existence of the black shadow from time to time, and Crane could not find a clue with the real vision provided by the "Source Castle".

This undoubtedly means terrible and dangerous.

When the various gems set at the top of the black cane lit up, the melodious sound of bells suddenly reverberated in the area where Bernadette and the dark shadow were.

While!

The indescribable emptiness of the bell from infinity made the "Black Emperor" appear to be visibly stagnant and solidified, making Bernadette's figure freeze as if frozen, unable to make any movement.

However, the black shadow did not fall into the whirlpool of time, it seemed to be in another world with completely different rules at the bottom, and the shadow swam forward like a shadow between two contradictory rivers of fate that were turbulent and almost static.

This makes it appear as if it has only slowed down, unaffected by the Unreal Bell.

This is the first time Klein has encountered a similar situation since he was able to simulate this ability.

- Although the extraordinary effect he simulated through the "Star Staff" is certainly quite different from the original, no matter what, it still shows a certain amount of authority, and it is not so easy to ignore.

However, the slowing down of the shadow's movements also gave him a chance to make a second attempt.

This time, he stimulated the ability of the "Star Staff" itself, and planned to transfer the "Mysterious Queen" out of the "Black Emperor" mausoleum, so that she could sum up her experience before considering whether to enter.

The gems flickered at the head of the staff, and Bernadette's body, which was almost attached to the black shadow, disappeared into thin air.

In the next second, she appeared a few dozen meters away, near the high platform in the mausoleum.

The transfer of the "Star Staff" was disrupted, the intended target location was distorted, and everything seemed extremely chaotic.

Bernadette was not frightened or panicked by being stuck in the "Black Emperor", she immediately raised her left hand and pressed the "Sage Forehead Ornament" to the center of her forehead, and ran her finger across the "Pale Death" mask.

The mask with a shimmering metallic sheen suddenly became soft and squirmed rapidly, as if to form a face that did not belong to Bernadette.

The face was soft and had obvious southern continental features, but it gave people an extremely strange and terrifying feeling, making every witness believe that once the outline of this face became clear enough, it would come back to life, from ancient times, from the eternal darkness where the dead sleep.

When the time comes, Bernadette's body, spirituality, and consciousness will all belong to this face.

As this face became prominent, the stone walls and floor tiles inside the "Black Emperor's" mausoleum began to weather, as if they had been washed over thousands of years in just one or two seconds.

They quickly become mottled, falling splinters or dust kicked up by the wind, and tiny, pale white hairs grow between the crevices.

In the blink of an eye, these fluffs grew into white feathers, and the surface seemed to be soaked with yellowish oil.

The aura of the black figure was also decaying little by little, as if it was striding towards the end of death.

Its color faded noticeably, and its movement became more and more sluggish.

Within the confines of that pale mask, even the very concept of "death" would weather.

However, the mark of "death" is not the end, when the stone walls and floor tiles inside the mausoleum have weathered to a certain extent, when the black figure has decayed to a certain stage, new stones begin to generate, and the ethereal aura grows rapidly.

In the process, the black figure reached forward with its right hand.

This palm, which is purely composed of shadows, is separated by tens of meters, and it pinched Bernadette's neck at once!

This is not achieved by the lengthening of the arm, but by the fact that in that moment, the concept of distance is confused, and forty-five meters is equal to forty-five centimeters.

The dark palm didn't exert much force, it just made Bernadette feel cold.

In this coldness, she found that she could no longer use the two "0" level seals, "Sage's Forehead Ornament" and "Pale Death".

Normally, as long as she infuses spirituality and gives corresponding thoughts, the seals on her body will react correctly and create different effects, but now, this default process and rules have been disturbed and distorted, and no matter how Bernadette turns her thoughts, she can't make the seals move a little.

It was as if she was talking to the air.

Above the gray mist, Crane did not waste time after his unsuccessful attempt to transfer the "mysterious queen", and immediately sketched a series of complex symbols and magical signs in his mind.

He wants to simulate the "spatial hiding" of the "Mystic Mage", and is ready to separate the place where Bernadette is located from the mausoleum of the "Black Emperor" and make a hiding, so as to help the "mysterious queen" get out of the current predicament.

In fact, it may be more appropriate to simulate the fairy tale magic of "The Source of Peach Blossoms" at this time, but considering that Bernadette was also a "occultist", Klein felt that it was better to use "space hiding", otherwise it might expose some of the secrets of the "fool".

As for where he learned "spatial concealment", of course, it was the newly promoted "magician" Fals.

Previously, in the name of Gelman Sparrow of the World, Klein rented "Lemanno's Travel Notes" and asked Miss "Magician" to "record" the corresponding abilities in advance.

Then, he released again and again, recorded again and again, and recalled the complete "travel notes" from the fog of history again and again, and it didn't take long to master the knowledge and skills, and he could simulate spells such as "spatial concealment".

As the jewels on the "Staff of Stars" lit up, the area where Bernadette was located became a little deeper, as if a curtain of shadows were shrouded.

The curtain twisted, hiding the space, isolating the black shadow from its palm.

This helped Bernadette's neck regain its freedom.

In the next second, the pitch-black palm that had been forcibly separated reached forward again, touching the boundary of the hidden space.

In an instant, a transparent vortex "door" appeared in the void where there was no abnormality, or rather, the "door" that already existed took the initiative to swim from the hidden place and opened in front of the pitch-black palm.

- All hidden spaces must have a "door", but the location of the "door" will depend on the creator's idea.

The shadowy palm quickly passed through the open "door" and entered the hidden space, pinching Bernadette's neck again, once again interfering with the connection between the "mysterious queen" and the seal on her body, distorting the corresponding order.

At the same time, the black figure raised its head and looked at the top of the mausoleum.

It seems to be looking through layers of space, space and fog, looking at the "Source Castle" and the Klein within the "Source Castle".

Crane's eyelids instinctively jumped.

He sensed that the shadow had some understanding of this place, and he sensed that the other party was distorting something.

Klein's expression unconsciously became extremely calm, and on the "Star Staff" in his hand, different kinds of gems lit up at the same time.

He has to try to "steal" the corresponding extraordinary ability of the other party, only then will he have a chance to restrain the dark shadow.

In order to increase the success rate of "stealing" the target's ability, Crane turned his left palm and tapped the edge of the mottled long table.

However, his "stealing" still failed, and he didn't even gain anything.

Because his goal has long since gotten out of lockdown.

The black shadow is still in place, but it has escaped the lock!

Crane's gaze froze, and then he saw the dark shadow flicker, entering the hidden space, closing the distance between him and Bernadette.

This...... It distorts my true vision, causing me to see the situation as it was in the last second or even the last two...... Crane had a flash of thought, made a preliminary judgment about the failure just now, and decided to summon Will Onsetin's historical pore image and let him "restart" what was happening in the area.

At this moment, Bernadette, who was unable to use the seal, let patches of white, illusory swan feathers grow from her back.

This is the "ugly duckling" of fairy tale magic, which allows Bernadette to reveal an incomplete mythical creature ecology while remaining awake, twice a day, for fifteen seconds each time.

At this moment, her thoughts were restless again, boiling, and accelerating into confusion.

This caused her "ugly duckling" magic to be cut off before it could take effect.

Almost at the same time, she saw the shadow stick to her, soaking through like a viscous, corrosive liquid.

Bernardette's eyes sank, and she suddenly sensed, seized the last moment of clear thinking, opened her mouth slightly, and pronounced a Chinese word with a round accent:

"Hometown ......"

The erosion of the black shadow suddenly stopped, and its upper body slowly lifted up to look at Bernadette.
