The voice came from the evil woman. She was almost at the edge of the dome. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at the greyish-black robe on Kael.
"What's wrong?" Hui Shang looked at the evil woman in confusion.
"That robe … That robe … There's no mistake …" The evil woman mumbled to herself as if she had entered her own world. She had no reaction to the outside world.
Hui Shang didn't know what happened to the evil woman, but her mumbling attracted his attention to the greyish-black robe. What he saw made him frown.
Looking at it with the naked eye, the robe couldn't be any more ordinary. However, when he used his mental power to observe the robe, there was a shocking change.
The robe was like filth that fell into clear water. Black smoke kept coming out from the inside of the robe.
Upon closer inspection, the robe was like the mouth of a deep abyss. The inside of the robe was pitch black, and black smoke kept coming out from the mouth.
It wasn't the first time Hui Shang saw this kind of black smoke that could only be detected with his spiritual power. The resentment, hatred, and unwillingness of a powerful demon would manifest after its death. It would emit this kind of black smoke.
If a normal person came into contact with this kind of black smoke, they would be greatly harmed. Not only would their personality become cruel and ruthless, but as time passed, they would be completely corroded by the black smoke and become a walking corpse that only knew how to kill.
However, for Transcendents, the damage of this kind of black smoke was limited. If it was combined with the vengeful spirit of a powerful demon, it might cause a backlash to the Transcendents. However, this robe didn't have any vengeful spirit. Just the pure black smoke wouldn't cause any harm to the wearer.
From this information, it could be deduced that this black robe was made from the skin of a powerful demon.
Hui Shang couldn't tell what kind of demon it was for now. However, it was rare to see such a large amount of black smoke seeping out of the robe. Either the monster's strength was terrifyingly powerful when it was alive, or the monster had suffered unprecedented torture before its death. Unwillingness and hatred surged out violently before its death, and even after its death, it was still affected. However, even in such a situation, the strength of the demonic creatures was definitely not weak.
Such a demonic beast's skin was extremely precious. It was definitely not something an ordinary apprentice could afford.
If this monster had some history, then its value would be even more frightening.
If he was not mistaken, this demon skin should have been sent by the enemy adepts. Perhaps … it came from the Noah Clan. If he really came from the Noah Family, it wouldn't be difficult for them to obtain the skin of a powerful monster with their huge family power and heritage.
Although Hui Shang could see the abnormality of the robe, he still had many things he did not understand about the effects of the robe and the evil woman's reaction.
What did the evil woman discover that made her so surprised?
What was the use of Karel's robe?
The first question could not be answered for the time being, but the second question should be answered as long as he continued reading.
…
On the arena.
After putting on his robe, Khael didn't stop at all. He immediately entered a casting state. The spatial fluctuations around him were visible to the naked eye. Light and shadow were distorted, and there were clear spatial layers.
This was the first time Khael's spatial fluctuations were so large. It seemed like Khael was casting a powerful spatial cantrip.
Seeing this, the Shepherd was slightly puzzled. Khael had been trying to cast Spatial Rifts before, but he had interrupted them one by one. Now, he was casting an even more powerful spatial cantrip? If he was interrupted, the chances of a backlash were much higher than casting Spatial Rifts. Even if Khael didn't die from the backlash, he would be heavily injured.
"Is this a desperate attempt, or …" The Shepherd thought to himself as he looked at Khael's robe, "Is there something else?"
If it was the latter, then it was most likely related to this robe.
The Shepherd couldn't see through the robe, but since Khael had taken it out so seriously and used a high-grade cantrip right after taking it out, he had to be cautious.
Being cautious did not mean that he would back down. When Phantom was fighting against the Noah Family's apprentice, he could have used his sneak attacks to wear down his opponent's energy. However, he became cautious and gave his opponent a chance to recover, which led to his defeat.
Thus, even though the Shepherd was cautious, he didn't stop attacking Khael.
This time, however, the Shepherd didn't attack personally. Instead, he slowly raised his right hand and pointed towards the sky as he shouted, "Bebe!"
Following his voice, a valiant and spirited shepherd dog gradually condensed at the place where his finger was pointing.
This was a mighty, black-backed, brown-toed shepherd dog. Its body was almost the size of a human teenager, and it was one of the taller shepherds.
The moment it appeared, it attracted everyone's attention. It seemed to be very proud of itself. It immediately raised its head and howled, showing off its' raging wolf's blood 'domineering side.
However, as soon as it raised its head, it realized that something was wrong.
Why was its foot floating, as if it had stepped on air?
It lowered its head in confusion.
The dog's eyes widened. It didn't seem like it had stepped on air at all. It was actually in mid-air!
Its round eyes were filled with fear. Its ears were flapping, as if it wanted to use its ears as wings. However, its body was too large, and the 'wings of its ears' couldn't support its weight at all. The next second, with a cry, the shepherd dog fell from mid-air.
Bang!
After a loud crash, the shepherd dog collapsed on the ground. Its eyes were rolled back, and its mouth was crooked. Its tongue was hanging out involuntarily, and it looked like it was saying, 'I'm broken'.
However, the Shepherd didn't care about the shepherd dog's pitiful appearance. He stretched out his hand, and a spiral of wind appeared in the center of his palm.
"Wait, wait …" The shepherd dog suddenly stood up and spoke in human language.
The Shepherd acted as if he didn't hear it. The spiral of wind shot out and hit the Shepherd's body. Due to inertia, the shepherd dog was sent flying like a windmill.
"Bastard, you'll die a horrible death!" The shepherd dog howled as it flew towards Khael, who was still in the middle of casting his spell.
The Shepherd clasped his hands together and murmured, "Don't blame me, don't blame me. I had no choice. If you could make a less awkward entrance and just make a brief confession, I would definitely let you appear with them next time."
Previously, no one understood why the Shepherd was so cruel to the shepherd dog. However, after hearing the Shepherd's mutterings, they began to understand.
This was probably … a shepherd dog that liked to fart?
The shepherd dog was still cursing in mid-air. This scene probably made the shepherd a little embarrassed. His fair face actually turned red. He said loudly, "If you shut up, I'll make a hat for you with my baby's fur."
The shepherd dog's fierce eyes suddenly lit up. "Don't touch my baby. Use Black Three's fur. I hate it the most, but my baby loves it the most. You must make it bald!"
The Shepherd: "Alright …"
When the shepherd dog, Bei Bei, heard the shepherd's promise, it immediately became spirited. It regained control of its body, which was originally out of control, and immediately stretched its body in the air. Then, the shepherd dog stared at Khael. "It's you, right? You actually dared to touch my baby. I'll make you pay!"
The Shepherd behind it quietly said, "My baby is fine."
The shepherd dog was stunned, and immediately changed its words. "Although the Shepherd is a bastard, only I can knead this bastard. I'll make you pay!"
The Shepherd: "I'm fine too."
This time, the shepherd dog didn't say anything. It turned into a sharp arrow and charged at Khael.
From the outside, Khael didn't move at all, as if he was still preparing to cast a spell. However, in reality, Khael had already finished casting the spell.
In fact, he had already finished casting the spell when the Shepherd summoned that strange shepherd dog, Bebe.
There was another reason why he hadn't done anything.
Now that the shepherd dog was charging at him, Khael naturally couldn't just sit there and wait for his death. He immediately cast the spell that he had already prepared.
In front of Khael, two spatial rifts appeared out of thin air. To be more precise, they were half a spatial rift and an elongated spatial rift.
The spatial rift in front of him was large enough to allow a person to pass through. This was why it was called a "spatial rift" instead of a "spatial rift".
The reason why it was called a "half" spatial rift was because it wasn't very long. Although it could allow a person to pass through, it would at most allow a child or a teenager to pass through. It was basically a "crude" version of a normal spatial rift. Calling it half a spatial rift was already an overestimation. At most, it was a third or a quarter of a normal spatial rift.
As for the other spatial rift, it was more slender than a normal spatial rift. It was at least ten times longer than a normal spatial rift. Moreover, not only was the spatial rift long, but its three-dimensional angle was also very tricky.
The Spatial Cracks were like strong roots that kept spiraling and circling around Kael tightly. The only way out was through the Spatial Crack at the very front. If anyone carelessly barged in, they would definitely be torn to pieces by the Spatial Cracks. Even if they managed to avoid the Spatial Cracks, they would still be swallowed up by the Spatial Cracks.
It could be said that this was a spatial spell that was both offensive and defensive.
The shepherd dog, Bebe, probably didn't expect Khael's speed to be so fast. It was simply too fast to stop.
The shepherd dog directly charged into Khael's spatial rift "birdcage".
Pitiful cries came out of the shepherd dog's mouth.
When the shepherd dog charged over, Khael retreated a few steps to avoid the shepherd dog's charge. However, Khael still hadn't left the spatial rift's range, so he wasn't too far away from the shepherd dog. He personally witnessed the shepherd dog charging into the spatial rift.
The spatial rift had been turned into a "birdcage" by Khael, so when the shepherd dog couldn't stop in time and charged into the birdcage, its body was cut into eight pieces.
The shepherd dog's body was dismembered, and even its head was cut into several pieces.
But to Kael's surprise, the shepherd dog's "mouth" was still howling in pain, as if its broken body was still able to cause it pain.
What happened next stunned Khael even more.
The shepherd dog's "pieces" suddenly began to tremble. Then, like a jigsaw puzzle, they began to move on their own.
Soon, a complete shepherd dog appeared in front of Khael.
However, the shepherd dog Bei Bei was still howling in pain. Judging from its mournful cries, it was very painful for a shepherd dog to have its body torn apart and reassembled.
Although the shepherd dog was in pain, it didn't forget its purpose. It had suffered once, and now that it had finally charged into the spatial rift, it naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
The shepherd dog endured the pain and charged towards Khael again.
In the next second, the shepherd dog's eyes widened again.
"Why?!"
In front of the shepherd dog's eyes, another spatial rift had appeared, and it was even longer than the previous one! Moreover, it was like a "ribbon" that Khael had casually arranged, twisting and turning all kinds of three-dimensional corners. It was as messy as a ball of wool that had been played with by a kitten.
In this situation, no matter how quickly the shepherd dog reacted, it was still dismembered by the new spatial rift.
It howled in pain again.
A few seconds later, the shepherd dog was "reassembled" again, but this time, it was terrified. It didn't dare to charge forward anymore, and it timidly retreated to a place where there weren't any spatial rifts. It shouted, "I surrender! I'm on your side! I hate that bastard too! Let's kill him together! Brother! "
Khael and the shepherd were both speechless. Who's your brother? Who's your brother?
Khael felt that the shepherd dog was too unreliable, but he still stopped attacking it and looked at the shepherd.
The shepherd narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "This robe can increase the casting speed?"
Khael had tried to cast spatial spells before, but even the most basic spatial rifts required time to prepare. The Shepherd, on the other hand, relied on the power of the wind to interrupt Kael's casting every time.
This time, however, the shepherd wasn't slow at all. He immediately sent Bei Bei to interrupt Khael, but before Bei Bei could reach Khael, Khael had already cast spatial rifts one after another. This time, the casting speed was completely different from before!
He didn't know exactly how much more efficient it was, but he could tell from Kael's second Spatial Fissure that if it was just a single fissure, it was almost instantaneous.
Now, it was impossible for him to break Kael's spatial rift like he did before.
Khael didn't reply. He only frowned and gestured for the duel to continue.
At this moment, the Shepherd suddenly said to him, "Watch your back!"
Khael paused. He didn't understand what the shepherd meant. When he turned around, he saw that the cowardly shepherd dog had completely changed. There was a sinister smile in its eyes as it raised its head proudly and swiped its paws at Khael!
If Khael had retreated as soon as he heard the shepherd's warning, he could've dodged the shepherd dog's sneak attack.
But the shepherd was his only opponent in this duel, and Khael couldn't just blindly follow his words. Because of this, when he tried to dodge again, the shepherd dog's attack was already unstoppable!
