Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 156 Practicing Shadow Magic

In Victor's notes, he named the tameable Shadow Realm creatures—Shadow Beasts, probably because they can be tamed and their intelligence is closer to that of animals.

And those shadow realm creatures that cannot be tamed are often either too intelligent to be controlled, or too low to be tamed.

The shadow beast itself is actually very fragile, and it can be killed by continuous exposure to strong light, so it is completely useless during the day.

However, in the dim state at dawn or dusk, shadow beasts can still barely move, but the time for shadow beasts to really function is naturally at night, or in dark caves or underground environments.

After controlling a shadow beast and officially becoming a shadow mage, you can gain many specialties.

The first, is darkvision.Shadow mages can see in the dark and clearly.

Unfortunately, this specialty has little effect on Xing Tianyu.

The second one is dark affinity.When placed in the dark, the shadow mage will not feel fear in his heart, but will feel like a fish in water, and the specific effect is that he can recover physical strength and energy relatively quickly, and even heal wounds.

However, these two abilities are basically passive effects, and they are not considered shadow magic. What can be called shadow magic is recorded in the second half of the notes.

The first one, dark absorption, absorbs the shadow energy in the surrounding darkness to strengthen the shadow beast in the body, so that it can quickly obtain or recover shadow energy. Using this ability will sometimes leave a pale, lightless and shadowless space around. , the space will be refilled by darkness or light in the following time. This spell is the basic ability of the shadow mage, and almost no learning is required. The effect of the spell depends on the mental power of the shadow mage, and it can be used repeatedly.

The second one, the Shadow of Covering Body/Avatar of Shadow Realm, covers the surface of the body with shadow energy, and transforms itself into a special form of half entity and half virtual. In this state, the shadow mage can be immune to all physical attacks, strong light exposure Will weaken or dispel the effect of Shrouding Shadow.If the spiritual power and the ability of the shadow beast in the body are strong enough, the covered shadow can be advanced into a shadow incarnation, and in a short time, it can be transformed into a powerful shadow world creature, which can use all the normal abilities of the shadow world creature, and has shadow All the normal characteristics of living things in the world.

The third one, Dark Stealth/Shadow Escape, integrates itself into the surrounding darkness and obtains an effect similar to invisibility. It is only effective in the dark, and using this ability will continue to consume shadow energy. If the mental power is strong enough and the shadow If the beast's ability is strong enough, it can advance the dark forward into a shadow escape, which can hide in all darkness and shadows, and can be used even in the daytime. The brighter the light, the more shadow energy it consumes.

The fourth, black tentacles/dark whip, condenses shadow energy into tentacles to entangle/attack the enemy. The black tentacles will directly affect the enemy's spiritual consciousness, so when a person is entangled by black tentacles, he will often be unable to act , if the mental power is strong enough, the effect of the black tentacles can be further enhanced to evolve into a whip of darkness, the attack of the whip of darkness can cause great damage to the human spirit, and even kill the enemy.

The fifth, the dark cloud/dark sky, releases the shadow energy in the body to form a dark area, covering the opponent's sight for a short time. This ability can be used during the day, but not only the duration will be shortened, but also use this ability Will greatly weaken the shadow beast.If the mental power and the ability of the shadow beast in the body are strong enough, it can be advanced to the dark sky, which has a wider coverage, and the enemies within the range of the dark sky will feel fear.

The sixth - Xing Tianyu flipped through the notebook vigorously, and found that it was gone. There were only five usable shadow magic recorded in the whole notebook.

This—this is too miserable, Xing Tianyu said in his heart that the so-called shadow magic is really pitiful, but fortunately, four of the five magics have advanced forms, although it seems that they are only The power has only been increased, but at least it feels like there is still some room for development.

Xing Tianyu didn't have to choose this time, so he started to learn the first magic - dark absorption.

According to the introduction in the notes, he injected his spiritual power into the shadow beast in his body, and the shadow beast immediately began to absorb the surrounding darkness. In an instant, the shadow energy flowed into his body like a tide, and the whole living room suddenly became a chaos. A pale color, without light or shadow, like a black and white movie.

The shadow beast in his body is obviously not as weak as before, he can feel the excitement and activity of the shadow beast, very good, then he can use real shadow magic next.

Covered Shadow!As a result of the mind, the shadow beast immediately released the shadow energy into Xing Tianyu's whole body, and merged with his body. Xing Tianyu felt that his body became light and light, like half of a cloud. He walked to the mirror In front of him, in the mirror, a dark figure was staring at him.

This shape reminds Xing Tianyu of the shadow man that sometimes appears as the background in some cartoons, but when this image appears in reality, it looks really weird. He picked up the shadow man on the table With a fruit knife, he slashed at his arm, and the fruit knife passed through his arm, as if his arm didn't exist, but Xing Tianyu could feel that when the fruit knife crossed his arm, Still slightly obstructed, as if his arms were made of water.

However, he didn't feel any pain, and it seemed that he could indeed achieve the effect of immunity to physical attacks. This magic is really good, at least in the future when he fights with people at night, he can basically be invulnerable.

After the physical attack test, the next step is to test the magic attack. He picked up a flashlight and shone it on his arm. Immediately, he felt a burning pain on the part of his arm that was illuminated by the light. The darkness on the surface of his body, It melted quickly like melting snow, but the darkness of other parts of the body immediately filled it.

It has been illuminated for a few seconds, and it still seems that it has not been completely dispelled, but the darkness on the body has faded a little. Fortunately, it seems that it is not completely immune to magic.

Turning off the flashlight, he went to the light switch again, and turned on the light suddenly, and the light shone from all directions. This time, the darkness on his body was completely dispelled in less than two seconds. His skin looked It was red, as if it had been roasted by fire, and there was a burning pain all over my body.

This is really a bit uncomfortable.Xing Tianyu grinned and thought, it seems that he can't do this again in the future.

Although his body was in hot pain, Xing Tianyu was still extremely excited. This was the first time he could really use supernatural power anytime and anywhere, without eating magic apples or feeling fear.

"Master, it seems that you have mastered the technique of shadow magic." A voice suddenly sounded.

Xing Tianyu looked up, but it was the head of Audas who spoke.

Since returning home, he has painted a layer of gold paint on Audas's head, and then put it on the desk as a decoration, and asked him some knowledge about magic, but it seems that he has no chance of arcane magic Learned, according to Audas, the entire real world is a huge withered magic field, and there is no magic network to connect to at all.

"You also know shadow magic?" Xing Tianyu asked in surprise, he thought the other party only knew arcane magic.

"Of course, when I was in the world of Atlantis, I often traveled around. Those dark elves living underground are very good at shadow magic. I have dealt with their mages. The amount of shadow magic they can use is better than yours. There are much more recorded in this notebook."

Xing Tianyu was overjoyed when he heard it, "Oh, then can you teach me?"

Audas shook his head, as if he wanted to shake his head, but in the end he gave up on this slave, "I'm afraid not, I don't have a deep understanding of shadow magic, because shadow magic and arcane magicians have completely different magic systems , and compared to arcane magic, shadow magic has too many restrictions and its power is too weak, so it is really worthless to learn."

Xing Tianyu had black lines all over his head, thinking, are you despising me?

But he knew that Audas's head had no emotions at all, so it should be just an impression in his memory, but he could see it himself, compared with arcane magic, this shadow magic is really frustrating. It's a pity that there is no way to practice arcane magic at all. Otherwise, with the head of Audas, I might really be able to become a great dark magister with such a high spiritual power.
