It appeared.
Søren waited for three whole days, and finally, the Shadow Fissure appeared.
He turned around and glanced at Vivian behind him. Today, she was wearing a black princess dress with a beautiful bow on her head. After noticing Soran's gaze, the little girl smiled sweetly and said, "Big brother, I'm so happy to see you. Don't worry! "
"I've read a lot of information about the Shadow Plane. I'm sure there won't be any danger. Besides, sister Gloria used to tell me a lot about planes and half-planes. Maybe she knows more than you! "
The Shadow Plane.
Søren was most familiar with this plane, even more so than the Prime Material Plane.
It was a transitional plane, connecting the material plane with other planes. Strictly speaking, it was a large semi-material plane, a spatial world between matter and energy. From the Shadow Plane, one could reach most planes, so there were a lot of unpredictable dangers in this plane. Especially at the edge of the overlapping planes, one could be directly sucked into space turbulence. That was why Søren was very careful every time he entered the Shadow Plane. There were a lot of dangerous areas and powerful creatures here.
The most common one was the Shadow Dragon.
There weren't many types of dragons in the Shadow Plane, but the Shadow Dragon was the most numerous.
Strictly speaking, though.
Søren did remember where the nests of many Shadow Dragons were, but he couldn't beat them at all. Even if he had Vivian with him, it would still be a little difficult because he remembered that the Shadow Dragons were all mature and above.
The world began to turn gray.
As Søren's figure passed through the Shadow Fissure, his whole body was dyed with a gray hue. The Shadow Plane didn't reject other colors, but any color here would have a gray shadow. This change came from the structure of the plane. No one could resist it unless they used a spell. It was one of the rules of the plane. For example, the sky and sun of the Shadow Plane. Sometimes it would rain, snow, and hail, but the color would always be gray. No matter how bright the sun was, it could only ever be a bright gray color.
That was why it looked like dusk. This was the paradise of shadow creatures.
"Be careful."
Søren turned around and looked at Vivian, who was looking around. The little girl seemed to be very interested in this plane that was completely different from her original world. She even curiously reached out to pull out the weeds on the ground. The color of the plants was greyish green, and there was no difference between them and the material plane. There were many unknown secrets about the existence and characteristics of the shadow plane, and some were even unknown to the gods. Therefore, there were still many inexplicable things about this place. For example, the buildings here might be extremely similar to those in the material plane.
And it might not necessarily be the current material plane. It was possible that the Shadow Plane retained the buildings of the material plane thousands of years ago.
Projection.
The incomprehensible projection interfered with matter and was then replicated in the Shadow Plane.
This kind of projection could not be understood with common sense, and not everything could be projected. So far, no one had been able to figure out this secret. Most of the things that could be projected into the Shadow Plane seemed to be random, but there was an energy limit to this projection. For example, a castle from hundreds of years ago in a material plane could be projected into the Shadow Plane, but a wizard tower built in a material plane could not be projected into the Shadow Plane.
This was because most of the castles were ordinary buildings, but wizard towers were covered with a considerable amount of energy!
Søren had traveled back and forth in the Shadow Plane so many times, and the only thing he knew was that most of the buildings projected from the Shadow Plane were things that had existed in the material plane for a long time. If it was just a house built this year, it was basically impossible to project into the Shadow Plane. However, if the house had existed in the world for hundreds of years, it could be projected into the Shadow Plane. Therefore, there were many cities and towns in the Shadow Plane. The places where these projections appeared could be quite ancient, and there were some shadow creatures living there.
The projected buildings were not much different from those in the material plane.
They would gradually disappear with time, so there were very few things that had existed in the Shadow Plane for a long time.
…
A wizard tower appeared in front of him.
Looking at it from afar, he could feel the majesty of it. It was different from the current wizard towers. During the Arcane Empire, wizard towers pursued height. The great arcanists often liked to build wizard towers to overlook the earth. The overall structure of a wizard tower was a bit like a lightning rod. Today's wizard towers were generally relatively short, and they rarely exceeded 300 meters in height. Therefore, it was easier to identify wizard towers from any period.
"Be careful."
Søren raised his hand to stop Vivian who wanted to go over and take a look. He whispered, "There are distorted shadows nearby."
Distorted shadows.
Semi-energy life forms, due to certain reasons, may have the characteristics of a soul.
To put it simply, many of them were transformed from souls.
"Distorted Shadows [Shadow Life] [Gregarious Species] (Grade 3)."
"Challenge Rating 12, Personal Level 14, Has spell-like abilities."
"Highest and Lowest Attributes 20, Lowest Attributes 10, Total Attribute Points 90-95."
"Special Abilities: Shadow Characteristics, Semi-energy Body, Soul Molding."
"Difficulty: B +."
Søren was quite familiar with the ability of the Distorted Shadows, but he still found it difficult to deal with them because these creatures were not vulnerable to physical attacks. Semi-energy life forms were born with more than 20% concealment ability. If they were half-energy life forms, they could also reduce physical damage by 50%. It was very troublesome to deal with them with ordinary weapons. Although Søren had the legendary curved sword Icingdeath, he basically did not have the ability to kill a Distorted Shadow in one hit. Moreover, these shadow creatures liked to live in groups.
Therefore, their difficulty was B +, and they were a very difficult enemy to deal with.
"Sizzle."
There was a faint sound coming from somewhere.
Søren quickly took a step forward and protected Vivian's small body behind him. At the same time, he carefully looked around. There were not many life forms in the Shadow Plane. Strictly speaking, there were not many living creatures with flesh and blood. Therefore, the animals living here were quite rare. Sometimes, it was so barren that even the shadow dragons had to go to the Material Plane to eat a big meal. The life forms here were full of destructive and aggressive. They were a combination of chaos, hatred, and bloodlust. In essence, they were not much better than the bottomless abyss.
Distorted souls could be reborn in the Shadow Plane. This was the origin of many half-energy life forms.
There were also a lot of undead here.
"Creak!"
The sound became louder, and Søren also heard the source. It came from under the soil in front of him.
Under the soil?
Søren's rich experience in the past made him ready to fight in an instant. At the same time, he said to Vivian beside him, "Be careful! There are undead ahead. They smell the living on us! "
Undead.
Supernatural monsters.
There was only one kind of undead in the Shadow Plane, and it seemed to be a difficult monster to deal with.
— — "Skeleton Undead!"
When Søren saw a monster crawling out of a tomb-like mound in front of him, his face gradually became serious. Because the Skeleton Undead in front of him was a little different. Its height was more than two meters. Although its bones had been twisted and mutated into sharp bone blades, it could still be seen that it was a tall and dangerous creature when it was alive.
The next level of this undead was the "Skeleton Demon", a quasi-legendary undead with a Challenge Rating of 12 and a Monster Level of 20.
There was no priest.
There was no way to dispel the undead. Søren glanced at Vivian beside him, nodded gently, and flew away.
It seemed that he really needed to find a priest partner in the future.
After all, whether it was healing or dispelling the undead, a priest's role was quite important. They were the core members of the Iron Triangle. But the problem was where could Søren find a priest above grade 3? This kind of priest's status was not low. Just look at the pivotal position of the Naga Siren Priestess in the coastal area, and you would know how high the status of a high-grade priest was.
Dang! Dang!
Dang! Søren's curved sword in his hand made a burst of metallic sound on the body of the Skeleton Undead. At this level, the undead were not simple skeletons. They were very dangerous supernatural creatures.
— — "Ghoul Touch!"
When Søren slashed several times on the body of the Skeleton Undead, suddenly there was a foul smell around. A dark red glimmer appeared in the eye sockets of the Skeleton Undead in front of him. This smell made Søren very alert and took a step back, but the undead still touched him slightly.
Spell-like attack!
It was the innate ability of the high-grade undead.
Søren almost had no time to react, and a series of data appeared in front of his eyes:
"Affected by the spell 'Ghoul Touch'."
"Mandatory Test of Exemption triggered! … Test of Fortitude passed! … You are immune to the paralysis effect of this spell! … "
A control-type spell.
Søren suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then he slashed the enemy's leg bone with his sword. Fortunately, he had high Constitution and Fortitude, so he was directly immune to this second-circle spell. Otherwise, he would have been paralyzed directly, which would be quite dangerous. Fortitude, Will, Spell, and so on. All kinds of immunity were quite important. Rogues were not as muscular as Warriors, so they were at a disadvantage in terms of Test of Exemption.
"Be careful!"
Vivian's reaction was also very fast. When Søren was hit by the Skeleton Undead, she began to cast spells quickly. However, the little girl's talent was really amazing. While casting spells, she could also pay attention to the surrounding environment. When she saw distorted shadows around her, she immediately shouted, "Brother, be careful! There are a lot of distorted shadows around you! "
