The speculation that he was more compatible with dark magic made Lu Yu fall into deep thought. Since he entered the magic trap, the one he has used most is wind magic. His escape and defense are both top-notch. He has always believed that if he really has a focus, he will definitely
It is a wind attribute that is a great success the first time you cast it.
"Dark...me?"
Lu Yu, who was still struggling, heard another "little thing" that Orkus mentioned casually.
"Necromantic magic also began to rise in Mostana."
Like a momentum, necromancers are awakening everywhere.
Lu Yu just sighed lightly about the topic of undead and did not continue the discussion. Instead, he asked about another matter.
"What do you think of the redhead?"
"Leng Ao, with a clear sense of distance when dealing with others, and a clear sense of superiority in conversation. When getting along with me, he will only break the silence when talking about some collections of books. He is obviously not interested in most of the daily topics I raise... If you have to say it, see
He looks like an extremely pure magician."
"Do you think her innocence is just a drama to show us and numb us, or is this still the reality?"
"My intuition tells me...it's not like what she acted. If she can really act like this, then her scheming is far beyond that of her peers."
"Can you fight for it?" Lu Yu asked solemnly.
Orkus looked embarrassed. He covered his lips, rubbed them gently for a while, and said uncertainly: "She firmly believes that pioneers must compete cruelly, and is only interested in equal exchanges, but...
… She was very curious about the fact that we were able to work closely together, and she made several insinuations, as if she wanted to know how we built the initial trust.”
Lu Yu tapped his shoulder with his tentacles, and both of them understood each other tacitly.
After Lu Yu left, the temple once again returned to its former peace.
The red-haired man was still reading the books brought by Orkus.
Pink Butterfly and Snake Man silently observed, comprehending the existence of the temple, and like Lu Yu, tried to move to higher places. In their view, this temple must contain further ultimate secrets.
…
…
The jet-black wings of the flying dragon flapped gently, and strong wind swept across the ground, rolling up yellow-brown smoke.
Ink-colored pillars of flame ejected from the dragon's head, and the three flying dragons flew past the ground, letting the ink color spread behind them, and then they lifted up, turned around, and did it again.
The gray spirits that followed the shadow dragon quickly fell into a heavy fog, and the ubiquitous ink corroded their ethereal spirit bodies, like termites gnawing at furniture, making bursts of "squeaking" sounds.
When the shadow dissipated, the gray spirit disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only countless bursts of turbulent magic power, destroying the surroundings wantonly.
"Handsome!"
Lulu used her tentacles to applaud the three flying dragons that were performing roller maneuvers in the air to avoid attacks from the Black Corpse Society magicians below.
After clearing some of the most dangerous spirits, Sanmeiqiu went straight into the magician's camp, relying on his strong physical fitness to eat up spells one after another. He kept waving his tentacles and killed one apprentice after another who was obviously being used as cannon fodder.
Puncture, tear into pieces.
Since you join the Black Corpse Society for the power of the undead, you must have the awareness to face the annihilation of the living.
San Meiqiu didn't intend to leave anyone alive. Even if the other party moved out of his mind and had parents to support at home, he would still respond with indifference. Their last mercy was to make their death less painful.
There are still only a few people begging for mercy. Now the Black Corpse Society has become a fanatical religious organization. Most of the apprentices who have been deeply brainwashed firmly believe that after death, they can go to the God of Disaster and Death, obtain a new form of the dead, and return to the world.
this world.
"Death is their end, but it is our ladder."
Several batches of apprentices chanting this slogan have launched suicide attacks on Sanmei Qiu. They have even raised insect eggs in their bodies that can swallow magic power and use them to explode themselves, as well as host spirits that can affect San Mei Qiu's mind.
Recently, there have even been fanatic believers carrying several infant spirits on their bodies. They are already delirious and shouting, attacking everything around them indiscriminately.
The apprentices of the Black Corpse Society became frightening warriors who were not afraid of death under the spell of strength and faith.
Lu Yu became more and more frightened as he fought. Even though the Kingdom of Shadows showed more powerful power during this period, it still couldn't make him happy.
"If those of us who implement beheading tactics find it disgusting and difficult, then wouldn't the Theocracy and others..." Sera was very uneasy.
Sarah randomly handed over pieces of extremely dangerous magic to the Black Corpse Society, allowing them to scramble to learn it without mentioning the dangers involved. It was like handing over a loaded pistol.
to children.
After killing all the fanatics present, Lu Yu floated on top of the bones that formed a hill. He whistled softly, and the shadow dragon in the air fell down upon hearing the sound.
Along with the magic power extending from Lu Yu's tentacles, the summoning ceremony turned again, and the flying dragon turned into a wisp of ink and dispersed in the air. Where they disappeared, the headless horseman appeared silently.
Along with him is himself in shadow form, but the props he has at his disposal at this time are not only swords and staffs, but also a gray-white bone whistle tied to his neck.
Lu Yu strolled forward and grabbed the bone whistle before his other self squatted down.
"Lulu, can you see what it is?"
"This is like...a whistle used by some beastmasters who control monsters."
Sera thought of something: "Not only beast masters, but also many dragon masters who cannot become partners with flying dragons will also use the same method to control flying dragons."
In the flash of lightning, many confusions in Lu Yu's mind were solved.
"I see... No wonder this template is called [Shadow Kingdom]. This name must have come from her feeling the power of the template, but she didn't realize what power it actually contained."
Shadow substitutes, soldiers, headless knights, shadow mages, flying dragons...this is the configuration of the army!
"So, this shadow is actually..."
"It is the summoner's clone. If anything...its posture will tell the summoner which powers can be easily used. The more we master it, the stronger it will become."
[Shadow Kingdom] is undoubtedly a higher-level template than mimicry and elemental life. Its scalability and versatility exceed Lu Yu's imagination.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu suddenly understood why the red hair became a pioneer.
The red hair accidentally explored this template and mastered part of its power, which inadvertently promoted the exploration of the summoning rules and expanded its knowledge by a big step, coupled with its own good talents and abilities...
"Wait a minute, if Red Hair is recognized by exploring and mastering powerful templates and advancing the development of summons in his own continent, then wouldn't Pink Butterfly and Snake Man..."
Lu Yu felt hot all over his body and his eyes were bright.
There is a high probability that the other two pioneers also have similar knowledge to [Shadow Kingdom]!
Now Lu Yu can be sure that the red hair is actually the owner of the innocent attribute as famous as Lulu. He actually used this knowledge to exchange two mimicry templates... If Orkus wants to write a book, this paragraph must be written. .
…
…
In the temple, the red-haired woman sneezed violently. Because she was using too much force, she actually dropped all the books floating in the air, and the books fell straight to the ground.
"Fortunately, this is the space of consciousness, otherwise I wouldn't lend you the book again." Orkus said, throwing the book to the red hair again.
The red-haired man thanked her reservedly, feeling annoyed in his heart: "Why is my nose so itchy in the conscious space...it's weird."
…
…
The beheading of San Meiqiu continued, but Lu Yu slowed down slightly compared to the previous speed.
The headless horseman galloped around, tearing apart the corpses wantonly.
The shadow mage waved his staff and called for the attribute light.
The shadows were invisible, tearing apart the putrid bodies one after another silently.
The shadow dragon flew close to the ground, its flapping wings bringing up strong winds. Wherever the ink touched, the spiritual bodies were swept away.
Every fierce battle further deepened Lu Yu's connection with the template, and his consciousness seemed to have entered the shadow body that should have belonged to him.
Sera and Lulu no longer dared to say anything, for fear of disturbing Lu Yu's understanding of the Kingdom of Shadows.
The shadow mage disappeared silently, and the shadow substitute quietly exited.
It was as if some giant thing was treating the earth like a war drum. The ground trembled violently, the gravel shook, and the corpses staggered, fell, and piled up.
"Enemy?" Sera looked around and found no particularly ferocious giant flesh and blood monster.
Lulu was still searching, but her eyes caught a glimpse of a huge thing rising from the darkness where the flying dragon had dispersed.
On Shadow Lu Yu's staff, a fist-sized crystal materialized from virtual reality, releasing a faint blue radiance, and the numerous facets reflected the bright light.
Like a mountain, blocking out the sky and the sun, Sanmei Ball could only look up at its body made entirely of boulders. The stone giant that appeared from the shadows was like a bulldozer, crushing all the physical corpses along the way into dust.
The headless horseman seemed to let out bursts of cheers, and the war horses also neighed with excitement. They walked side by side, tightened their reins, rammed into the stone giant, easily passed through the shadow cast by him, and raised their weapons to kill those who planned to hit the stone with eggs.
, the ants that interfere with the shadow giant's progress.
Through the Book of Knowledge, Lu Yu can also summon a giant, which is one of the self-defense magics that Lulu gave her. But this is the first time for him to control such a powerful and mana-saving giant.
With the close connection with the shadow himself, he has been able to clearly feel the weak message transmitted by the stone giant, and can even control the shadow himself to hold the staff high, giving it more magical power.
The abundant magic power made the stone giant raise his arms high, and his illusory body solidified little by little.
The headless horsemen leaped high in unison, and the giant's arms hit the ground with a devastating force.
The ground shook and the mountains shook. San Meiqiu could only feel the sound of thunder in his ears, his whole body was buzzing, and smoke was swirling around him. The ground where he was hit had already cracked, and an unknown number of corpses fell into the cracks.
"Okay, this is good!"
Lu Yu, who had always longed to control a huge humanoid summoned object to realize his dream, couldn't help shouting and dancing happily with his tentacles.
The original intention of summoning the flesh and blood chariot is to see the walking giant, and it is best to be able to enter and control it personally.
Summoning the piano, the small box even held the thought of getting into it and experiencing the entire battle from an observer's perspective.
The combination of elemental summons and splicing into elemental giants still has technical shortcomings and has not been completed...
Along the way, Lu Yu carried simple thoughts and constantly tried to realize a dream for himself, but he never succeeded.
But today, he saw new possibilities and hopes in this big guy from the Kingdom of Shadows, and those thoughts that had been silent and no longer active became hot again.
As if feeling Lu Yu's approval, the shadow stone giant roared, carrying the only headless horseman who could walk with him, annihilating all the undead creations around him one by one with a devastating force, his thunderous footsteps resounded throughout the room.
All that was left was blood, mud and ashes.
He couldn't help but fly to the top of the giant's head, looking down at Lu Yu who was shouting happily.
Sera murmured: "How old you are, aren't you a big giant? I have seen bigger ones than this, and they are not so rude. Be steady, be steady."
"Sela, you don't understand... In short, you don't understand." Lu Yu laughed.
Lulu actually didn't quite understand Lu Yu's obsession. She had heard that there were very huge steel creations in Lu Yu's world. Judging from the description, they were even far more powerful than the stone giants and clay giants here.
How can you be as happy as a child?
But she wouldn't ask out loud like Sera did. No matter why he was happy, she was also happy when Lu Yu was happy.
…
…
"Hey, have you heard? Although the battle between the Theocratic State and the Black Corpse Society resulted in heavy casualties, a more terrifying monster seems to have appeared in the Black Corpse Society's death realm."
"What more terrifying monster can there be than the flesh-and-blood deformity created by the Black Corpse?" Everyone in the tavern didn't believe it, and they all looked disdainful.
"Don't believe it. This is the news from the Theocracy's messenger. He said that when he went deep into the hinterland, he encountered a black and gray giant that moved like a mountain. In the hazy mist, he even saw a large number of headless horsemen.
Go ahead, wherever you go, the tide of corpses will wipe out the entire army."
"Not only that, he also witnessed a strange insect that could continuously devour the spirit body, and a strange, naked bird-man with wings that hatched after the insect died. That bird-man was very powerful and could control
The spirit body fights with another group of spirit bodies, and can also turn all the approaching skeleton armies into its own servants."
There were whispers in the tavern. If someone else had made such bizarre remarks, they would have been ridiculed with disdain, but what the Theocracy's messenger said was very credible.
"Is there internal strife in the Black Corpse Society?"
"Such a weird thing, it seems like it's all the product of their own making, right?"
"It's also possible. I heard that the two of them acted together before the Black Corpse Society attacked various university sects... So it seems that Sarah and another leader of the Black Corpse Society had a falling out?"
Sarah covered her face and sighed softly, no longer paying attention to these words. She took out the map in her hand and once again confirmed the location of this uninhabited place with the guide beside her who paid a lot of money.
She spent a lot of effort to find this special place.
"For my sake, useless things should work harder and let him expose more of his cards."
