It appeared .

Soran waited for three days, and it has appeared .

He turned around and looked at Vivian behind him . Today, she wore a black princess dress and tied a beautiful bow on her head . After noticing Soran’s look, the little girl smiled sweetly and said in a crisp voice, “Big brother . Don’t worry! ”

“I’ve read a lot of information about the shadow plane, and there’s nothing to be afraid of . Besides, sister Gloria has told me a lot about planes and half-planes previously . She may even know more then you do!”

The Shadow Plane .

A plane that Soran was most familiar with—maybe even more familiar with the material plane .

It was a transition plane, connecting the material plane to other planes . Strictly speaking, it was a large semi-material plane, a space of matter and energy . From the shadow plane, a person could reach the vast majority of the other planes; so, there were many unpredictable dangers in this space—especially around the edges and areas of overlap . A person may be directly sucked into the turbulence of space if not careful . That was why Soran was very attentive every time he entered the shadow plane .

There were many dangerous areas and powerful creatures, and the most common were the Shadow Dragons . There weren’t many types of dragon species in the shadow plane, but the Shadow Dragon was among the most common .

Soran still remembers many Shadow Dragons’ nests, but he wouldn’t be able to beat them . Even with Vivian, it would be difficult, because he remembered all the adult Shadow Dragons .

The surrounding was becoming grayish .

As Soran’s figure passed through the shadow crack, his whole body was stained with a gray color . The shadow plane does not exclude other colors, but any color here would produce a shadow-like gray . This kind of change originated from the structure of the whole plane . Nothing natural could resist it unless magic was used to resist the change . For example, the sky and the sun on the shadow plane would always be gray; even if the sun shines brightly, it would always be bright gray .

That was why this place looks a lot like dusk; thus a favorite place for shadow creatures .

“Careful . ”

Soran looked back at Vivian, who was looking around . The little girl seemed to be quite interested in the different aspects of this world . She reached out to pull up the weeds on the ground . The color of the grass and trees were grayish-green . It didn’t feel very different from that of the material plane . There were many unknown secrets about the existence and characteristics of the shadow plane, some of which were even unknown to the gods . For example, the buildings here had similarities with the material plane .

Some of these buildings may have been ancient buildings of the material plane .

Astral projection—Something that affects the material plane and makes a copy to the shadow plane .

This was something not understood by common sense, nor could it project everything . So far, no one has been able to understand the secrets . It seemed that a lot of things that could be projected onto the shadow plane were random . However, there seems to be an energy limitation in this projection . For example, a castle hundreds of years ago in the material plane may be projected onto the shadow plane, but a wizard tower built in the material plane would be impossible to be projected onto the shadow plane .

That was because a castle was just an average building, while a wizard tower contained a lot of energy!

Soran had traveled so many times to the shadow plane . The only thing he knew was that most of the buildings projected to the shadow plane were things that have existed for a long time . If it was only a house built this year, it would impossible to project to the shadow plane . However, if the house had existed for hundreds of years, it was likely to be projected to the shadow plane . Therefore, there were many old villages and towns in shadow planes, which have some shadow creatures .

The projected buildings had not much difference from the buildings in the material plane .

They would also age as time went on; that was why the shadow plane also did not have many ancient things .

A wizard tower appeared in front .

Its majesty was different from the current wizard towers . In the period of the Arcane Empire, the wizard tower pursued the height of the towers . The great Arcanists often liked to build their wizard towers so high that they could overlook the earth . The overall structure of the wizard tower was a bit like a lightning rod . The new wizard towers were shorter, rarely would they be more than 300 meters high, so it was easy to identify which period the wizard towers were from .

“Careful . ”

Soran held back Vivian who was curious about something and said, “There’s a Shadow nearby . ”

A Shadow—a half energy lifeform . They appeared for some reason and may have some intelligence, and were said to be transformed from lost souls .

“Shadow [Shadow creature] [Herd creature] (Grade 3) . ”

Challenge Rating: Level 12 (Monster Level: 14), has spell-like abilities

Highest and Lowest Attributes: 20 and 10 (Total Attribute Points: 90-95)

Specialty: Shadow Characteristic, Half-energy form, Create Soul . ”

Difficulty: B+

Soran was familiar with the Shadows but still finds them hard to deal with because these creatures did not take too much physical damage . Shadow creatures were born with more than 20% Concealment ability . If they were semi energy lifeforms, they could even reduce physical damage by 50% . They were very troublesome to deal with ordinary weapons . Although Soran had a legendary curved sword, he didn’t have any ability that could kill them in a single blow . Furthermore, these creatures like to stay together as a herd .

That was why their difficulty was B+, a rather difficult enemy to deal with!

“Shiii . ”

A weak sound was heard from somewhere .

Soran hurried forward to protect Vivian’s small body behind him, and carefully watched the surroundings . There was not much life on the shadow plane, strictly speaking, there was not much life with flesh and blood . Sometimes it’s so barren that even the Shadow Dragon would travel to the material plane to eat a big meal . That was why the creatures here were full of destructiveness and aggression . They were chaotic, filled with hatred and killing . In essence, they were not much better than the creatures at the bottom of the Abyss .

Many lost souls would appear in the shadow plane, thus becoming a semi-energy form!

“Chii Ka!”

The sound got louder and Soran knew where it came from; its from the ground .

From the ground?

Soran’s past experience allowed him to prepare for battle in an instant . He then turned to Vivian and said, “Careful! There are undead ahead, they can smell our life force!”

Undead—a supernatural creature . There was only one kind of undead in the shadow plane, and they were not easy to deal with—

“Skeleton Undead!”

When Soran saw the monster creeping out of a grave-like mound in front of him, his face gradually became stern . Because the skeleton in front of him was a little different . Its height was more than two meters . Although its bones had been twisted and changed into sharp bone blades, it was still a tall and dangerous creature .

The higher level of this undead would be the “Skeleton Demon”; a challenge rating of 12, and a monster level of 20 .

Without a priest .

They could not Turn Undead . Soran looked at Vivian . Then, she swiftly floated into the air .

It seemed like Soran would need a priest companion in the future .

After all, whether it was healing or dispelling the dead, the role of priests was very important; forming the core members of the iron triangle . But the question was where would he find a priest of grade 3 and above . The status of such a priest was quite high and difficult to find . The Naga Siren priest was around grade 3 and her social status was very high .

“Tang, Tang, Tang!”

Soran’s curved swords made a metallic sound upon hitting the bones of the undead . When an undead reached this level, they were not simple skeletons, but a dangerous supernatural entity .

“Ghoul Touch!”

Just as Soran attacked the skeleton several times, a stink suddenly appeared around him, and a faint dark red glow appeared in the eyes of the skeleton in front of him . This made Soran very alert and took a step back . Unfortunately, the opponent was still able to touch him .

Spell-like attack!

A Gifted Ability of high-grade undead .

Soran almost couldn’t react and a row of data appeared in front of him:

“You’ve been affected by the ability Ghoul Touch . ”

“Activated Test of Fortitude!… Test of Fortitude passed!… You’re not affected by the additional effect of paralysis!…”

Soran was shaken, he then reactively slashed at the enemy’s leg bone . Fortunately, his Constitution was high thus his Fortitude was high enough . That was why he was immune to the level two spell . Otherwise, he would have been paralyzed by it directly . If that had happened then it would be very dangerous . Unlike Fighters who have a high Constitution, having an even higher level of Fortitude; the Rogue naturally had lower Constitution thus making them less likely to pass such tests .

“Careful!”

Vivian’s reaction speed was also very fast . Just as Soran was touched by the skeleton, she began to cast spells quickly . However, the little girl’s talents were even greater as she could even pay attention to the surrounding environment while casting spells . When she saw Shadows appearing around, she immediately shouted out, “brother, be careful! There’s a lot of Shadows around you! “
