Twisted Shadows.
These half-energy shadow creatures did not need to eat like other monsters, and they did not have a fixed nest. They did not even leave traces of movement. Therefore, most of the time, there was no way to determine their location at all. Only when these monsters emerged could one know which shadow they were hiding in. Fortunately, these monsters basically had no intelligence. They acted purely on instinct and were full of destructive desire and aggression. Otherwise, they would be quite difficult to deal with.
Clusters of shadows emerged.
These Twisted Shadows had a characteristic, that was, in the strange twisted bodies, there was a vague and hazy human figure hidden in the shadows. It was said that this was their soul. Twisted Shadows were said to be the souls of many creatures that died in the Shadow Plane. These shadow-like monsters were everywhere in the Shadow Plane, especially in the cities of the Shadow Plane. These shadow-like creatures were often seen.
"Flame Arrow!"
"Acid Arrow!"
"Missile Storm!"
Because Søren was in the range, Vivian did not dare to use a large-scale attack spell. She could only kill the Twisted Shadows one by one. At the same time, she used Acid Arrow to aim at the Skeletal Undead. Acid was very corrosive to bones. Although Acid Arrow was only a spell below grade 3, it was very lethal to many creatures.
"Stoneskin Shield!"
"Haste!"
Søren did not dare to be careless in this situation. He directly activated the Elemental Stone, and at the same time activated a piece of equipment that he obtained from the legendary naval battle. It could temporarily activate the Haste effect, but it could only be used twice, and the duration was relatively short. High-grade rare items were too rare. There were not many of them on the South Coast. The best equipment Søren had was the two items given to him by Princess Royal of Arendelle. It seemed that after dealing with the outer islands, he would have to take time to go to the desert area.
Søren remembered that there were three legendary items there, as well as the 'Cloak of Anti-Detection', which was very important to Rogues.
Dang! Dang!
Dang! His curved sword turned into a ray of light and slashed at the Skeletal Undead. Søren jumped more than ten meters and slashed at the Twisted Shadow at the same time.
The blade seemed to have cut into tough rubber.
Søren furrowed his brows as he slashed at the shadow. At the same time, he retreated. However, the shadow had already pounced on him. Even though the shadow's arm only brushed past Søren's shoulder, he couldn't help but tremble.
A row of data popped up:
"You've been attacked by Distorted Shadows! … "
"Distorted Shadows has dealt 1 Bruise to you! You've been affected by Shadow Erosion! Received an additional 14 damage from Shadow Corrosion! … "
"Shadowstrike!"
Søren countered the attack with a backhand slash. Twisted Shadow's Corrosive Attack was similar to Shadow Strike. Both attacks used Shadow Energy to corrode the opponent. The Distorted Shadows didn't have high HP. After being hit by Søren a few times, one of them finally died. Søren received a total of 3250 Slaughter EXP.
Shadow-type monsters gave 20% Slaughter EXP.
"Hailstorm!"
As soon as Søren put some distance between them, Vivian took the opportunity to cast a spell. The little girl quickly chanted the spell, and then a whistling wind and sharp hail appeared within a 40-foot radius. This was a level 4 spell. It wasn't a very common spell, but it was perfect for the current situation. It just so happened that Søren was out of the spell's range. Compared to the explosive impact of Fireball, Hailstorm was able to slightly affect the enemy's movement while killing them.
"Sword Form: Spinning Strike!"
"Sword Form: Beheading!"
Søren took the opportunity to kill two Distorted Shadows around him. After enduring the Shadow Energy's Corrosive Attack, he finally got rid of the trouble around him.
The next part of the battle became a lot easier.
Vivian's Hailstorm caused a lot of cold damage. Søren turned around and began to harvest the Distorted Shadows' heads. He received nearly 20,000 Slaughter EXP in one breath. However, the Skeletal Undead died in the hands of Vivian in the end. Its cervical vertebra was directly melted by the Acid Arrow. Otherwise, it would have given about 5000 Slaughter EXP.
He simply cleaned up the battlefield.
The Skeletal Undead didn't give anything. Instead, the Distorted Shadows dropped three gray crystal fragments.
These were materials for Alchemy.
A kind of crystal that contained Soul Energy and Elemental Energy. Only a few special creatures would appear. This crystal could be directly used to exchange equipment in the hands of high-grade Wizards.
Søren carefully put it away.
He had been too busy recently to learn Alchemy. Vivian focused on learning spells and basically didn't dabble in Alchemy. The brother and sister probably had less than 50 Alchemy Points combined.
The two rested for a while and then moved forward again.
However, this time they had to be more careful. Vivian didn't dare to run around because it was obviously more dangerous than the material plane.
There were almost no monsters after that.
Søren led Vivian forward for about 300 meters. A broken building appeared in front of them. They were already close to the periphery of the Wizard Tower. There were many broken buildings nearby. It seemed that there used to be a group of people living around the Wizard Tower.
"Be careful."
Søren turned around and looked at the little girl. He 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 that you don't trigger its defense mechanism. "
Vivian nodded gently, and then said with a serious expression on her little face, "Big Brother! There seems to be a legendary [Defense Lock] in front of us! This might be the Wizard Tower of an Arcanist! "
It was gray in front of them.
The space under the Wizard Tower seemed to be a little distorted, and it didn't look real. [Maze Lock] was a technology from the Arcane Empire, and it could be understood as a very powerful array. Those who could set up a maze lock were basically arcanists. During the period of the Arcane Empire, not all wizards were arcanists. This was an advanced profession that required a lot of talent. It could be understood that only legendary wizards could advance into the [Great Wizard]. The two were advanced professions with a certain origin.
Søren nodded slightly and then pushed open a door on the left.
It was full of dust.
There didn't seem to be any monsters, but there didn't seem to be anything either. When Søren was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to have found something. He immediately squatted down and knocked on the wall with his hand. Then he pulled out his curved sword and stabbed it in, directly digging a hole in the wall. It was empty. There was a delicate box in the hole about 30 centimeters wide.
"Fortunately, my searching ability is not bad!"
Søren reached out and knocked on the box. He then signaled Vivian to step back. He took out a lockpicking tool from his multi-dimensional bag and was about to open the box.
