Age of Adepts

The corridors are quiet and dark.

Some old wooden floors creaked strangely underfoot.

And there was an almost suffocating thick shadow in the air.

When he got here, he was getting closer and closer to the core of darkness, and the flame aura around Greem's body was also greatly suppressed. It could only barely extend half a meter outside his body, enough to protect his body and clothes.

And in Greem's strange eyes, one real and one empty, the corridor in front of him is comparable to a haunted house, strands and strands of shadow energy that seem to have substance escape from the second room on the left, slowly and truly Cruising and dancing in the corridor.

Due to the strong shadow atmosphere, these strange shadows seem to have signs of activation.

Groups of them were floating and wriggling in the narrow corridor, constantly twisting and deforming into various strange shapes. Looking from a distance, it looks like terrifying demons waiting for their prey to come.

As soon as Greem stepped into the corridor, into the distinct darkness, the nearest shadow suddenly transformed into a strange big mouth full of fangs, biting at him viciously.

Greem snorted lightly, his right hand wrapped in flames protruded out with lightning, and stabbed into Qiyi's big mouth, despite the opponent's desperate biting and grinding, he couldn't penetrate the flame barrier and damage his arm. And Greem's big hand tentatively groped inside the strange big mouth for a moment, and when he retracted suddenly, there was already a dark and shiny black crystal in his palm.

Losing the black crystal, the strange big mouth roared wildly for a moment and then disappeared.

Greem held the black crystal in front of his eyes, and the chip quickly projected its basic data.

Substance Name: Shadow Fragment

Material classification: dark energy crystal

Item level: Tier 1

Material use: Enchanting (can be used to add shadow damage to weapons), alchemy (basic material for dark witches), alchemy (necessary material for witch medicine to defend against shadow damage), summoning (basic material for summoning shadow creatures)

Special purpose: can synthesize shadow crystals (every hundred shadow fragments can be transformed into one shadow crystal through alchemy ritual)

...

A lot of wider uses of shadow fragments are densely projected behind, but Greem has no intention of paying attention. It was just a Tier 1 wizard material, and it wasn't worth his effort on it.

Throwing the shadow fragments into the storage ring casually, Greem was ready to move on.

Xu Shi sensed the power of the comer, and these naturally catalyzed large groups of shadows gathered together quickly, condensing and gathering into a strange shadow creature the size of a dwarf, whose body was completely black and whose facial features and figure could not be seen clearly.

And at the moment it condensed, a treacherous and unpredictable terrifying aura overflowed from its body.

The rapid alarm from the chip immediately sounded in Greem's mind.

"Hey, 4th-order shadow creature fluctuations were detected... Preliminary analysis is a shadow assassin, and the degree of harm to the subject has reached a dangerous level... Please be vigilant to the subject!"

So fast?

Greem was slightly taken aback, and his eyes couldn't help falling on the door behind the shadow creature.

Even if the dark witch Shani was a witch god, it was impossible for her to catalyze a fourth-level shadow creature in such a short period of time. Unless... there is some kind of extremely powerful shadow treasure in that dark core, it is impossible to do this by manpower alone.

If the other party really has a treasure or witchcraft of this level in his hand, why not use it directly against himself? Could it be... that thing has any usage restrictions or is it a purely auxiliary item?

Greem scanned the rapidly formed strange creature in front of him, and quickly analyzed and judged the secrets in the room deep in his heart.

I'm about to face that Tier 4 Dark Witch, how to try my best to take advantage of the battlefield before starting the battle, and see the opponent's cards clearly through everything in front of me. This is what a high-level wizard should do at the beginning of the battle!

However, there is not much time left for Greem to think and analyze.

In the room, the strange fluctuations of the dark core became more and more intense, and became more and more clear.

No matter what terrorist attack the other party is planning, or what powerful creatures are being summoned, Greem has no obligation to wait for the other party to be a "gentleman". Therefore, at this moment, no matter what kind of enemy is in front of him, Greem must wipe it down with a thunderbolt, and then interrupt the action of the dark witch.

Thinking of this, Greem took a step forward without hesitation, the fire dragon pendant on his neck flashed red, and a terrifying stream of flames spurted out from his mouth, covering the entire dark corridor in a fan shape.

Which of course also includes the just catalyzed Tier 4 Shadow Assassin.

When the front end of the terrifying stream of flames broke through the darkness barrier and barely touched the shadow assassin's surroundings, the opponent disappeared in a strange instant.

Yes, it's disappearing, not flashing.

The battle just now brought Greem into contact with various types of shadow creatures. Although they are proficient in dark magic and have mastered some strange shadow abilities, they still have weak to almost imperceptible elemental fluctuations between hands and movements.

If it wasn't for the assistance of the chip, it would be difficult for Greem to capture this level of shadow jumping or shadow shuttle.

However, when the shadow assassin in front of him disappeared, even if Greem opened his eyes, he couldn't perceive any traces of elemental fluctuations. It seems to have instantly blended into the background of the environment, and people can no longer trace its figure through the trajectory generated by elemental changes.

The breath of the fire dragon pierced through the dark afterimage left by the shadow assassin, completely igniting the entire dark corridor.

But the shadow assassin was nowhere to be seen, and there was no trace of him.

And just when Greem Fire Dragon's breath was over and his spirit was slightly shaken, a small black figure slipped out of the void behind him silently, and stabbed at Gree with two pitch-black daggers in his hands without the slightest sound of wind or fluctuation of breath. Hum back heart.

With the spiritual perception of Greem, a rank 4 fire witch, how could he fail to notice the strange changes behind him?

It's just that the opponent's movements seem to be light and unconcerned, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are as fast as thunder and lightning. Moreover, the two pitch-black daggers were dull and dull. Although no elemental aura could be felt on them, they gave off a ruthless smell like a peerless murder weapon when they met each other.

Faced with the Shadow Assassin rushing towards him, Greem's thoughts turned, and the Fire Coral Witch Staff held high in his hand did not choose defensive witchcraft, but chose... to attack.

Two dark, dull daggers pierced through the flame barrier, pierced through the lava armor, and inserted directly into Greem's vest. They shuttled between the lava and flesh, moved between the torrents of flames, cut and stirred quickly, and tried their best to cause maximum damage to Greem.

Greem endured the terrible pain, and instantly shot a red light on the shadow assassin's black body.

In the next second, the rich fire element condensed into a series of substantial flame shackles in the void, binding the shadow assassin and Greem firmly together.

Flame shackles!

A kind of imprisoning flame witchcraft.

It can lock the enemy and itself together, and if the opponent wants to escape, they have to suffer three times the fire damage of the witchcraft.

The shadow assassin saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't care about hurting Greem any more, so he wanted to escape from Greem's side with a flicker. It's a pity that before Hei Ququ's body melted into the darkness, it was pulled out by the shackles of flames linked to the body.

After flashing twice, unable to escape, the Shadow Assassin could only swing the black dagger and slash and slash the flame shackles frantically.

But with this buffer time, it was enough for Greem to completely lock in its soul wave and elemental breath.

With one left hand, Greem grabbed the neck of the shadow assassin who couldn't escape, and the violent golden flame extended along the arm to the opponent's body in an instant. In the next second, the shadow assassin roared and danced wildly, cutting Greem's arm into bloody flesh and flying flames.

However, no matter how serious the damage was, Greem did not let go of his big hand, and the golden flames poured into the opponent's body continuously.

Finally, after eleven fingers, the shadow assassin could no longer bear the burning of the flame of the law, and exploded into a black mist that filled the sky with a bang. And in the black mist, a dark and deep black gemstone fell down and was caught by Greem.

Shadow diamond... a fourth-order shadow diamond!

This time, he couldn't ignore it as calmly as before.

After all, it is not easy to find a tier 4 shadow diamond even in the wizarding world.

If shadow fragments are only Tier 1 wizard materials, then a hundred Shadow fragments can be synthesized into a Tier 2 Shadow crystal, and a hundred Tier 2 Shadow crystals can be synthesized into a Tier 3 Shadow stone, and only a hundred Tier 3 Shadow stones can be synthesized. It is possible to synthesize the fourth-order shadow diamond in front of you.

According to legend, Shadow Diamond is the top wizard material of the dark department!

If the shadow diamond falls into the hands of wizard Holly, maybe it can create the kind of shadow puppet that can freely travel through the shadow world. This is a dark-type metal puppet with a level as high as 4. It can hide behind the master's back and protect him all the time.

If the shadow diamond falls into the hands of a summoner, a shadow dragon with strength up to level 4 can be summoned accordingly. This is a kind of black body, with sharp claws and shadow wings, capable of breathing shadow flames, a strange species between dragons and shadow creatures.

If the Shadow Diamond fell into the hands of a high-level alchemist, it would not be a problem to forge a shadow scepter capable of summoning an entire army of shadows. Of course, the strength of the shadow army summoned is also directly related to the alchemist's alchemy attainments.

...

When it comes to Shadow Diamond, the chip can list hundreds of suggestions for reasonable use and value maximization for Greem in one go. But now is not the time to discuss this, after all, there is still a terrifying dark witch that has not been cleaned up yet.

Greem put away the Shadow Diamond contentedly, took out a bottle of purple healing potion from his pocket, popped off the cork and swallowed it in one gulp. After the huge blood hole on the back was quickly closed under the dual effects of witchcraft and super physique, he stepped forward and gently pushed open the wooden door in front of him.

There is boundless darkness at the entrance!
