Door.
Countless white lines extended from Shadow's ten fingers, controlling every joint of Magician's shadow.
Next, Shadow began to hum a decadent tune. Magician's shadow began to perform a solo dance to the strange yet melodious tune.
Magician was performing a personal dance. His four limbs were incredibly agile, following the tune of the shadows as they spun and danced.
But this was not the end. More white lines appeared on Shadow's fingers and connected them to another shadow. This time, it was the shadow of a girl with light pink curly hair on the other side of the table.
Under Shadow's control, the girl also danced to the tune. In the end, she and Magician embraced each other and performed a circle dance that nobles loved.
When Shadow's tune ended, both Magician and the girl held each other's arms and bowed.
Shadow retracted the white thread and placed Magician's shadow in the middle of the round table. In the middle of the table, there was another round table about the size of a fist. Nine miniature chairs were placed around the table, making it look like a children's playground.
Corresponding to the real person, the nine miniature chairs had seven small shadows sitting on them. As the magician's shadow and the pink-haired girl's shadow sat down, the miniature banquet and the real person's banquet were officially filled.
"Are you satisfied with your reward? A solo dance that ends the curtains of your life, as well as a round dance for the girl you have a crush on. " Shadow chuckled. "And I'll play the music for you. As a smart loot, you should feel honored."
After Shadow finished speaking, he extended a few white wires from his fingers and connected them to Magician's neck joint. He then controlled Magician to nod his head.
Magician was now the same as the others. His expression was stiff and his lips curled into a strange smile. Under Shadow's control, Magician nodded and spoke like a puppet, word by word, "Of course I am, my dear master."
Shadow's lips curled into a smile. Then, he suddenly lowered his head and asked, "What about you? Are you satisfied? "
…
Angor had been on high alert ever since he entered the cave.
Or rather, ever since he came to the Forest of Hidden Grudge, he became more alert. In particular, he remembered something. When he left the Forest Keeper's wooden house and passed by the Forest of Hidden Resentment, he had seen a small black shadow flitting across the sky.
Back then, he thought it was a squirrel or a flying weasel, but now that he thought about it, the small black shadow was almost the same size as the small black shadow he saw in the count's manor.
What if the little black shadow was from the Krakoks? Did that mean that the Krakoks were already here half a month ago?
Who was the real mastermind behind the Krakoks? Shadow.
What did Shadow arrange the Krakoks to do here half a month ago?
Coincidentally, the location of today's Transcendent gathering was at the "Corpse Storage Cave in the Forest of Hidden Grudge". Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
Angor raised his vigilance to the extreme. Therefore, when he saw the wide open door at the end of the corridor from afar, he activated Boundless Silence and hid by the side.
Wasn't it strange that there were traces of man-made construction in the depths of a corpse cave? Judging from the new layer of soil on the ground, this place must have been built on a temporary basis, no more than half a month ago.
The small shadow he saw half a month ago might really be the Krakoks, who built a meeting place for the Krakoks.
So … maybe Shadow was the real mastermind of today's gathering, not Michelle.
Angor didn't leave the area. He wanted to see what Shadow was up to. However, he wasn't the type to be careless. He still had his guard up. Toto stood on Angor's shoulder quietly, just in case.
Angor watched the whole process.
Magician lost his consciousness when he was controlled by the white strings and was forced to perform a dance under Shadow's control. Angor didn't know what Shadow was doing. Was this a one-man show?
Shadow asked, "What about you? Are you happy? "Angor frowned. Did Shadow notice him?
"My friend who came in with Magician … Aren't you going to applaud my wonderful performance?"
So Shadow really did notice him. Angor wasn't surprised. If Magician knew how to set up a lookout outside the base, Shadow wouldn't forget about it. Angor didn't use Infinite Reticence earlier, so it wasn't surprising that Shadow noticed him.
Of course, Shadow wouldn't know his exact location even if he was discovered. Back then, he had almost fooled Lady Mirror with his Boundless Reticence.
Shadow waited for a long time but didn't hear anything.
He might be playing with the strings with his head lowered, but he couldn't keep his cool anymore. He knew someone was following Magician, but he didn't know who it was. Besides, he couldn't sense the person's presence after he went invisible.
That was why he did a series of dance moves. Now that the mood was right, he was going to trick the person into revealing himself.
But the person didn't move at all.
"Did he leave long ago?" Shadow wasn't sure. He placed a lookout at the entrance of the corpse cave and covered it with a barrier. The lookout didn't move, and the barrier was still intact.
An Ying had a feeling that the person hadn't left yet. He might even be in the room!
Shadow's eyes glowed. The strings on his fingers began to extend, and they began to wander around the room.
Angor looked at the strings that were about to touch him and took a step back. This method could indeed force him out. The room was small, and Boundless Reticence did not allow him to escape into the void. It would be easy for Shadow to find him.
However, it didn't mean that the space here couldn't be extended. Even if that didn't work, he could still trick his sense of space and move around.
Angor's eyes glowed.
At this moment, the luxurious Nightmare Domain slowly spread out. The small room became bigger and bigger as the Nightmare Domain spread out. Finally, a banquet hall appeared in front of Shadow's eyes.
The sudden appearance of this extravagant banquet hall caused Shadow's expression to darken.
"An illusion?" Shadow looked at the room in confusion and reached out his strings. The room was about seven or eight meters wide, but the strings didn't reach the bottom.
Is this an illusion array? Shadow recalled the branch of Illusion that he had once read about. In it, there was a direction of combining Alchemy and Magic Array. It wasn't difficult for an extended magic array and an illusion to simulate a large space.
Shadow stood up and used his ten fingers to control all the participants. They began to circle around the banquet hall.
Suddenly, Shadow dodged to the side. A small golden arrow with a magic array on it shot towards him from behind. If he didn't dodge it, he would've been heavily injured!
"Is it really an illusion array?" Looking at the alchemy arrow, a hint of hesitation flashed through Shadow's face.
"Why don't you come out and talk, my friend?" "People like Magician who thinks they're smart and other fools aren't a reason for us to start a war."
"You've shown me what you can do. How about we talk as equals?" Shadow showed a sincere expression and slowly stepped back. He even raised his hands and made a gesture to end this peacefully.
Angor chuckled coldly. His Nightmare Domain wasn't fully developed yet, but he could still see through Shadow's tricks with his Nightmare Domain. Shadow might be holding his hands up in the air, but Angor could sense that Shadow was moving to the side of the table to release three smaller shadows.
To be more precise, they were Krakoks.
Even though they were hiding in the shadows, Angor could still see their faces clearly.
The palm-sized Krakoks looked exactly like humans, except for their dark skin. Not only that, but they were also wearing black hoodies. Their entire body was completely black, like a mass of black shadows.
Their colorful eyes told Angor that they weren't shadows, but people.
Meanwhile, the three Krakoks were still moving around while Shadow was still trying to figure out the Nightmare Domain with words and other means.
Angor ignored Shadow's question and kept looking at the Krakoks. The three Krakoks emitted a faint energy wave … Were they apprentices?
But they weren't very strong.
He tried to use Bind to tie them up, but the Krakoks shrieked when he saw the rope. One of the Krakoks opened a door out of thin air, and the three Krakoks scrambled to get inside.
"Another door!" He could no longer sense the presence of the Krakoks in his Nightmare Domain.
They really left the Nightmare Domain? Did they use some kind of teleportation spell? Although teleportation spells could only be learned by official Magi, some races with innate talents might be able to learn such spells from birth.
For example, Huidon was born with the ability to use the Body of Illusion, an official Magus' spell.
While Angor was still wondering, Shadow suddenly dashed toward him and unleashed an indiscriminate AOE cantrip at him.
Angor almost forgot about Shadow when he was focusing on the Krakoks.
He secretly used Bind, and his mana fluctuations were very subtle. If he didn't pay attention, Shadow wouldn't notice. However, the Krakoks' shrieks attracted Shadow's attention.
Shadow was so fast that Angor had no time to dodge the attack because of the wind element under his feet. Nightmare illusions could not be cast in a short time. He quickly summoned a team of teacups from his hiding place and placed them in front of him.
The teacups blocked most of Shadow's attacks, but some of them still managed to hit Angor.
Even so, Angor was still knocked out of his stealth and sent flying to the side.
Shadow also screamed in pain and was sent flying away.
This Indiscriminate Strike, which was combined with the power of his bloodline and the instantaneous casting of a level-2 AOE spell, could even kill a level-3 apprentice in an instant if the opponent was caught off guard. He thought that he would be able to kill him in one fell swoop, but at the crucial moment, a row of teacups with thin arms and legs suddenly appeared in front of the hidden person!
When Shadow's attack landed on the teacups, he felt a strong rebounding force coming from them.
Back then, the Teacup Band had managed to kill several members of the Twilight Guards by relying on their anti-damage spells. Shadow's rebounding force was greatly reduced after leaving the Nightmare Domain. Most of the teacups were destroyed by Shadow's attack. However, most of the rebounding force was still reflected back to Shadow.
Compared to Angor's injuries, Shadow's injuries were much worse.
