Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2414 Creatures Hiding in the Shadows
In the silent corridor, Angel walked firmly in one direction.

"Are we going to find that strange fog?" Dangros hung it back on the Bloody Night Shelter and asked Angel curiously.

Angel: "No, let's go to room 02 first."

"Isn't that fog going to be dealt with?" Dangros continued.

Angel did not answer, because he has now reached the target point.

This is still a long corridor. At first glance, there is nothing too surprising. The only difference from other places is that it is about ten meters away from the nearest ceiling light, which makes the light here a little dim. .However, it is not impossible to see the road clearly, at most the shadows of the walls on both sides are magnified.

If you don't pay attention, you may ignore this dim light area.However, through the observation of the main control node, Angel is very clear that the door of Room 02 is actually hidden in the shadows.

Angel took a direct step towards the shadowed wall, and his whole body seemed to melt into the shadow, disappearing from the corridor.

After Angor's figure disappeared, in a corner of this shadowy area, a little star suddenly rose, quietly watching the place where Angor disappeared, and it can be seen from the frequency of its constant flickering that it seems to be carrying Unwilling, want to follow.

But in the end, this point of starlight still didn't move forward, but floated to the other side of the corridor, blending with other starbursts.

On the other side, after Angel walked into the shadows, the surrounding scene changed immediately, and what he saw was a corridor that was darker than the outside.

This corridor also has a light source, but compared to the bright overhead light outside, the light source used here is the flame of the oil lamp in the black grid on the wall.

Although there is an oil lamp every ten meters, the flame of the oil lamp is relatively dim, and it is impossible to completely illuminate the corridor, at most it can serve as a guide.

"Why is it so dark here?" Dangros muttered as he looked around.

"Maybe it's because the owner here is a shadow wizard." Angel walked forward and replied casually.

Dangros has been following Angor during this time, and he has some common sense in the wizarding world, and understands that the shadow wizard actually refers to the shadow wizard in the mysterious side.This type of wizard is relatively rare, and is also known as the shadow wizard.

"Shadow wizards like dark environments? Then why not just turn off the lights and make it completely black?"

Angel glanced at Dan Gross, and said softly: "Shadow is not darkness, but the dark side of light. If there is no light, how can there be shadow?"

Dangros: "So there must be light for shadow wizards to exist?"

Angel: "Of course not. One is a concept, and the other is reality. A concept is a goal and a reason to pursue. On the practical level, the endless darkness is indeed more suitable for shadow wizards to hide in."

Dan Gross could understand it before, but when Angel explained it, he became half-understood.

Just when Dangros wanted to ask further questions, they went to the first oil lamp.

Dangros did not pay attention to the oil lamp, but was attracted by the shadow on the ground illuminated by the flame of the oil lamp.

Because the flames in the grid are not stable, they occasionally skyrocket when fluttering and burn, and occasionally fall back.This caused Angor's shadow to flicker non-stop, high and low, long and short.

"Unpredictability is also the nature of shadows." Angel also saw the jumping shadows on the ground, and said: "However, compared to unpredictability, the most well-known nature of shadows is concealment."

Angor continued to walk forward, while Dangros continued to stare at the shadow on the ground until they left the light source and the shadow was immersed in darkness, and Dangros raised his head.

It turned around and wanted to say something to Angel.

But before it could speak, Angel suddenly stood still.But the footsteps did not stop, and the other "Angel" continued to move forward.

Seeing this familiar scene, Dangros immediately understood what Angel wanted to do.

Dan Gross has experienced this situation several times before, whether it was encountering X0 or later the Firescale familiar. Angor's deity was watching leisurely by the side, and the phantom deceived the enemy.

Now Angel separated the phantom again, which already explained everything.

Dangros stared at the shadow on the ground before, not because he was attracted by the sense of dynamism, but because he found some strange traces.Now, Angel apparently also discovered the existence hidden in the shadows.

Dangros silently looked at "Angel" who was getting further and further away.Although I have experienced this scene several times, it still makes me feel emotional every time.

When encountering X0, a little sound creates an illusion.When confronting the fiery scale fiend, he stepped forward at will, and in the light of the fire, he was divided into two bodies, the real and the phantom.

It was the same this time, as the light and shadow changed, the real body and the phantom seamlessly alternated.

This kind of illusion ability is simply impossible to guard against.

Even Dangros, who was staying on Angel's body, couldn't help but mourn for the enemy.Even if the other party tried their best to finally break Angel's illusion, can you be sure that the new Angel is real?
While Dangros sighed, "Angel" had already reached the middle of the two light sources, which was the darkest part of the corridor.

When the darkness was at its peak, the existence hiding in the shadows finally couldn't help showing its fangs.

With a silent smirk, restraining all malice, turning the shadow into a sharp blade, it stabbed silently towards Angel's vest.

If the opponent is not stabbing an illusion, then this can be called a good assassination.

Unfortunately, no if.

There is no need for Dan Gross to read the rest of the situation.When the self-righteous ferocity hiding in the shadows meets the false appearance that plays its cards unreasonably, the false appearance will naturally win.

However, the winning process was longer than that of X0 and Firescale Familiar.

The main reason is not because of the strength of the opponent, but because Angel didn't make a death move. Compared with killing the existence in the shadow, Angel wanted to catch it, which led to the longer battle.

Of course, the strength of the opponent is quite good, even if it has not reached the level of X0, it is not far behind.It's not as good as a formal wizard, but it's much better than an apprentice wizard.

About 5 minutes later, the existence in the shadows was finally whipped out of the entity by the phantom limb. In the circle of fire that Dangros helped create, it trembled and dared not move.

With the dazzling light of the fire ring, Dan Gross finally saw the other party's true colors at this time.

It was a round black shadow curled up in the center of the fire circle. It looked like a black tide was surging inside, but the overall shape remained relatively stable.

Because the whole body is black, and it can be enlarged, stretched, or shrunk, it is really impossible to distinguish the specific appearance.The only external features that can be seen are the big watery eyes that cover a rather large area, and the mouth that always keeps a smirk.

Dan Gross looked again and again, hesitantly said: "It looks a bit like the creature described by the mascot in the psychic belt before, it is the one they met on the second floor..."

Angel: "Shadow Demon."

Dan Gross: "Yes, this is it!"

Dan Gross still remembered that Nisi wailed for a long time because the Shadow Demon was killed by Kanter.

"The Shadow Demon can assist in the practice of the Shadow Art, and its value is quite high." Angel explained casually. It is precisely because of this characteristic of the Shadow Demon that Angel tried his best to catch it before, but Not kill it.

Dan Gross nodded. Nice did say this on the psychic belt before.Nice also wanted to catch the Shadow Demon, but the Shadow Demon had already invaded the mascot's soul, and Kanter had no choice but to kill the Shadow Demon.

"This is the Shadow Wizard's room, so the Shadow Demon on the second floor was really created by the Shadow Wizard?"

Angel: "It should be."

Dangros turned to look at the trembling Shadowfiend in the circle of fire: "Then shall we torture it? Maybe it knows something about the shadow wizard?"

Angel shook his head.

Shadow Demons are low-intelligence beings. Although they have the ability to communicate, they communicate through some kind of signal in the shadows. This is a secret that only shadow wizards can grasp, and other people have no way to communicate with it.

So, torture?nonexistent.

Angel took out a self-illuminating crystal, which quickly melted into a hollow ball, like a large round incandescent light bulb.

Immediately afterwards, he manipulated the phantom limb to wrap the Phantom Demon that was exposed, and then stuffed it into the luminous ball.

Just put the lid on and you're done.

To capture this kind of shadow-type creatures, just create a ball of light to trap them. In a ball of light with no dead ends and no shadows, they can only curl up in the center and dare not move at all.

Putting the Shadow Demon into the bracelet, Angel continued on.

He very much hopes to meet a few more Shadow Demons, this kind of rare creature that has almost disappeared in the southern region and has not been discovered for a hundred years. Naturally, the more the better.

But Angel also understood that the Shadow Demon was probably the only one.Because when he observed Room 02 at the main control node, he faintly noticed a strange creature in Room 02.

At that time, it was still unclear what it was, but now it seems that it should be the Shadow Demon.

In fact, this is also the reason why Angel chose to be the first to come to Room 02.

Previously, through the observation of the fifth floor by the main control node, in addition to the fire scale familiar, the only one with life fluctuations on the fifth floor was this strange creature in room 02.

After the firescale fiend died, the misty shadow appeared.Angel guessed through some judgments from his heart that the shadow of the mist is a semi-empty state. If he wants to affect the material world, he may have to possess a creature.

And on the entire fifth floor, the creature that can be possessed by the fog and shadow on the bright side is the strange creature in Room 02.

This is why Angel came to Room 02 first.

At first, I thought that I might encounter the Mist Shadow here again, but now it seems that the Mist Shadow did not come to Room 02.Maybe it's because it doesn't know that there is a shadow demon that can only possess bodies?Or in other words, its ability has not reached the level of possessing the Shadow Demon?
No matter what the answer is, at least Angor has now solved a hidden danger.If the Mist Shadow can really possess the Shadow Demon, with the terrifying blessing of the Mist Shadow to the living body, as well as its treacherous character, fighting will definitely not be as easy as it is now.

Although the shadow of the mist is not in Room 02, it doesn't matter, Angor has no urgent idea to find and solve the shadow of the mist.

The superficial reason is that the shadow of the mist is not from the laboratory, and its purpose may not have much overlap with their trip.

But the real reason is that Angel doesn't really want to solve the fog and shadow.

He always felt that the origin of this misty shadow was a bit strange, and when he expressed his intention to kill the misty shadow before, some unreasonable omens arose in his heart.

These omens are not dangerous, but they seem to be preventing Angor from killing it.

Of course, this is just Angor's idealistic feeling, it's really unreal, and even Angor himself can't guarantee it.

But he is willing to obey his inner will, as long as the mist and shadow don't provoke him anymore, he doesn't want to deliberately find and deal with it.

……

Moving on, after going through a few more oil lamps, they finally walked out of the corridor and came to the main hall of Room 02.

The style here is different from the darkness in the corridor.

There are a lot of light sources in the main hall, but these light sources are not completely illuminated, but are blocked by some room designs, and only play one or two roles.

This leads to more light sources, more light, more cover, more cropping, and more shadows.

It can be said that the entire hall has a very individual light and shadow style.There are cut lights and shadow angles everywhere, and some lights and shadows even achieve geometric symmetry, which makes Angel amazed.

However, Angel's main purpose of coming here is not to visit, but to find useful information.

At this time, a large number of books and scattered papers were piled up in the main hall.

Before, Angor was worried that the firescale familiar would come to Room 02 and burn these books, but now they are saved.

Angel casually picked up a book on the nearby silver island, flipped through it for a while, and then put it down.

"Night Whispers in Yingdu", a best-selling magazine from the Forest of Night Whispers, is quite popular among witches.

There are dozens of books on Nakajima, all of which are "Yingyu in Yingdu".

Maybe it was a related magazine that No. 02 bought in order to learn about the wizarding world in the Southern Territory?Or, is it the unknown hobby of No. 02?

Angel turned around again, manipulating five magic hands at the same time, flipping through a large number of books in the main hall.

It's a pity that there is basically no information he is looking for here, and there are more travel notes, as well as very eccentric and feminine gossip magazines.

However, if Angel remembered correctly, No. 03 seemed to have said that No. 02 was a man?
Of course, these books are not completely useless.Some of these magazines are more gossip-oriented, but Angel can be sure that he has never heard of such magazines in Southern Region before.

For example, "Lost Poetry", the name sounds like an epic story, but it is actually a magazine that explores the witch's affair.

After opening it, the first article was called "Oath of the Blood Mist Moon".
