Chapter 278: Chapter 91 Shadows




Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Shadows .

These semi energy lifeforms did not need to feed, nor did they have a fixed nest, or even leave traces of movement . That was why it was impossible to determine their location . Only when these monsters come out could a person notice where they were . Fortunately, these monsters had no intelligence . They acted on instinct and were full of destructive desire and aggression . Otherwise, they would be very difficult to deal with .

A bunch of Shadows appeared .

One of the characteristics of these creatures was that in the grotesque distorted body . There would still be a vaguely humanoid figure . It was said that they were transformed from lost souls; many of whom were creatures that had died in the shadow plane . These kinds of creatures could be found all over the shadow plane, especially in the cities, where they were .

“Fire Bolt!”

“Acid Arrow!”

“Missile Storm!”

Because Soran was in range, Vivian didn’t use AOE spells; killing the Shadows one at a time . At the same time, she used Acid Arrow at the Skeleton Undead . The acid was very corrosive to the skeleton . Although Acid Arrow was only a spell below grade 3, it was very destructive to many creatures .

“Stoneskin!”

“Haste!”

Soran was very careful about these kinds of situations . He quickly activated the Elemental Stone and activated a piece of equipment he got in the legendary naval battle . The item could temporarily activate Haste, but it could only be used twice, and the duration was relatively short . Rare high-grade items were too rare . There were not many on the whole of the south coast . Soran’s best equipment was still the two pieces of equipment the elder princess of Arrendell gave . It seemed that after dealing with the outer islands, he would have to take time to go to the desert area .

Soran recalls there were three legendary items there; one of them was the ‘Anti-Detection Cloak’ .

“Tang, Tang, Tang!”

His curved sword slashed at the skeleton many times, then he leaped ten meters into the air and slashed at a Shadow .

It was as though he had slashed into rubber .

Soran frowned and pulled back . At the same time, he stepped back . However, at this time, the Shadow had come over; it only touched him a little but Soran was shaken by it .

A row of data appeared:

“You’ve been attacked by a Shadow!…”

“The Shadow had dealt 1 Bruising damage to you!… You’re affected by the corrosive effect of shadow!…there is an additional 14 damage to you!…”

“Shadow Strike!”

As Soran was attacked he also counter attacked . The attack of the Shadow was the same as that of Shadow Strike; both attacks utilize shadow energy to corrode the opponent . The Life Force of a Shadow was not strong . After hitting it several times, it was killed; he gained 3250 Slaughter EXP for that .

Shadow creatures had a bonus 20% of Slaughter EXP .

“Ice Storm!”

As soon as Soran pulled away, Vivian seized the opportunity to cast a spell . the little girl finishes the incantation at full speed, and then there was a howling wind and sharp hail within 40 feet area . This was a level 4 spell; it’s not commonly used, but now was very appropriate . Compared to the blast effect of Fireball, Ice Storm not only kills the enemies but also slightly affects their movement .

“Sword form: Spinning Strike!”

“Sword form: Beheading!”

Soran grasped the opportunity and killed two Shadows around him . After enduring the corrosive shadow energy, he finally killed the Shadows around him .

The battle was easier now .

Vivian’s Ice Storm caused fairly high damage . Soran then turned around and began to harvest the enemies; gaining nearly 20000 killing experience in one go . However, the Skeleton Undead was finally killed by Vivian . Otherwise, the Slaughter EXP it gave should be about 5000 .

They quickly looted the enemies .

The Skeleton Undead did not drop anything, but the Shadows dropped three pieces of black crystals .

These were things used in Alchemy .

A kind of crystal containing soul energy and element energy; only a few special creatures would drop this kind of thing . They could directly be traded for equipment with high-grade wizards .

Soran carefully picked it up from the ground .

Recently, he had been too busy to learn Alchemy . Vivian focused on the study of magic and didn’t dabble in Alchemy . Thus the total points they had in Alchemy were probably less than 50 .

The two rested for a while then continued on .

This time, however, they were very cautious . Vivian also didn’t dare to run off as this place was more dangerous than the material plane .

There were no monsters after their first encounter .

Soran and Vivian walked about 300 meters, and a broken building appeared in front of them . It was near the periphery of the wizard tower . There were many old buildings nearby . It seemed that there was a group of people living around the wizard tower at the beginning .

“Be careful . ”

Soran turned and looked at the little girl, then said, “let’s see what’s here . It seems that no one has been here for a long time . Don’t get close to the wizard tower so as not to touch its defense mechanism . ”

Vivian nodded and with a serious face, she replied, “Big brother! There seems to be a legendary maze ahead! This wizard tower probably belonged to some Arcanist!”

The area in front was foggy .

The space under the wizard tower seemed to be a little twisted, which seemed fake . The [maze lock] was a technique in the period of the Arcane Empire, which could be understood as a rather powerful formation . Only an Arcanist could arrange such a maze . In the period of the Arcane Empire, not all Wizards were Arcanists . An Arcanist required great talent, and only legendary wizards could advance into this class .

Soran nodded slightly then pushed open the door on the left .

The inside was filled with dust .

There seemed to be no monster, but there was also nothing . When Soran was about to leave, he suddenly noticed something . He then squatted down and knocked on the wall with his hand . Then he pulled out his sword and stabbed it in, digging a hole in the wall . There was a very delicate box in the hole of about 30 cm .

“Good thing my Search ability is pretty good!”

Soran knocked on the box then asked Vivian to step back . He was prepared to bring out a tool to open the box .
