Chapter 417 Shadow Vs. Black Shadow, Who Is Weaker?
"Hip-hop haha..."
"Kill, kill, kill..."
"All 'living people' must die, for eternity!"
Countless black shadows gush out from the "dark pool" covering the sky, like demons crawling out of the abyss, with endless terrifying murderous intent and malice, wanting to tear everyone to pieces and devour them.
Salvatore and others followed unhurriedly, and occasionally selected a few "lucky ones" from the black shadow group to research consumables after their research reached a certain stage.
"Water element, invalid."
"Fire element, effective."
"Space magic is very effective!"
"Blood Spirit...has no effect..."
"Undead spells are effective, but only for some spells. All bone spells are invalid!"
Under such conditions, it is impossible for wizards to analyze the overall composition of the shadow creatures and the origin of their transformation in detail from the inside out. They can only try to use various methods to kill the shadow creatures regardless of the "cost", hoping to find the best solution. Quick way to kill them.
"enough!"
Salvatore looked at the gradually whitening sky in the distance. It was almost dawn, and those black figures were still heading towards the southern continent.
"According to estimates, they will soon reach some islands in the southern continent."
Alicia stopped her research and frowned: "Legend of Sarai, are we just going to watch like this?"
"Um."
Salvatore nodded, his eyes reflecting on the distant scene. Within the coverage area of his mental perception, he could feel the dense black shadows like locusts, which was so terrifying that it made people despair.
"Let the Church of the Earth and the Shadow School worry about the crisis in the Southern Continent. Our goal is to try to find out the cause of the mutation in the 'Dark Pool' and don't do anything else."
"But," Alicia Mejia looked at the 'dark pool' that was constantly spewing out black seawater not far away, and said hesitantly:
"How should we explore there now?"
"I think it's best not to go in," Luciano agreed: "How about letting my summons go in to check?"
"Just testing the effect of the 'dark pool' on undead creatures."
Other wizards agreed.
Salvatore also nodded and said, "You might as well give it a try."
The horrific sight there was daunting, even just looking at it.
Even he, the wizard known as "the most legendary among demigods", is still undecided to go deep into the "dark pool" to investigate.
With that said, Luciano summoned a ghoul and a wraith.
"It just happens to be an immortal body and a phantom body. I hope they can bring some good news."
"Ho ho."
"Well!"
After receiving the order, the ghouls and wraiths turned around and rushed towards the "dark pool", exploring straight down against the black sea water that filled the sky.
Luciano relayed the story outside.
It's just that his narration is worthless——
"The sinking speed is very slow. It only penetrates 100 meters in one minute."
"Two hundred meters away."
"Three hundred meters...one thousand..."
Until three thousand meters deep, Luciano's tone remained calm and normal.
But after three kilometers, his tone changed:
"It's slowing down!"
"Was there a fight?" Salvatore asked.
"No, the consciousness they feedback seems to be that the pressure around them is too great, and they have to consume their source..."
Hearing his words, the wizards fell silent.
Those two undead creatures are both legends, but there is pressure just when they sink to a position of three thousand meters...
In other words, it would not be good for them to go deep into the "dark pool".
"Go on." Salvatore signaled.
"Five kilometers..."
"ten kilometers……"
"Twenty kilometers...huh?!"
Luciano's voice paused, causing all the wizards around him to look over.
"What's wrong?"
"Broken, broken." The mouth on Luciano's skull head opened wide, and he said, "Their origin points have disappeared!"
"Is he dead, or..." Giovanni Drake asked.
"Before disconnecting, their feedback was fine and they were not in danger." Luciano shook his head.
"The original communication channel is cut off...well, I mean under what circumstances would such a thing happen?"
"this……"
Luciano looked at Salvatore and saw that he did not indicate any concealment, so he hesitated and said:
"There are only three known cases."
"The first is the isolation circle that specifically blocks the original power. This is the most common situation."
"The second is that the undead creatures are instantly killed, causing the channel to be disconnected. But this requires extremely strong strength, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary legends."
"As for the third situation..."
Luciano paused and slowly said: "The Kingdom of Gods will also cause the source channel to be disconnected!"
"country……"
The wizards all looked thoughtful as they looked at the turbulent water rising out of the sky.
This "dark pool" has been swallowing sea water, and has the dark shadow property to transform those creatures caught in it. It is very likely that it is... a kingdom!
But none of them had the intention to discuss it.
Regardless of whether the "dark pool" is the kingdom of gods or not, it is difficult to approach it with the power of legendary wizards like them.
Instead, they can report this news to their respective chief wizards. The power of the three demigods should be enough to explore the secrets of this place.
"Wait a minute. It'll be fine if they return safely. If not, then give up the exploration of this 'sea taboo'."
As the commander-in-chief of the expedition wizards from the three major schools, Salvatore always remained calm and would not bet everything on this "dark pool".
"clear."
For a moment, the wizards had different expressions, and their gazes, spiritual perceptions, and origin perceptions were all surrounding the "dark pool".
Time passed by minute by minute, until the red moon disappeared, and the dark clouds in the sky still shrouded the place in darkness.
At this moment, Luciano shouted eagerly:
"I saw them!"
"Huh? Where?"
The wizards all followed his gaze. Within their sight, there was still the black sea water all over the sky and countless shadow creatures swarming towards the southern continent.
"There! They, they have become shadow creatures!"
Before he finished speaking, Salvatore took action in an instant, and when he returned, there were two more black illusory shadows beside him.
——It’s the image of a ghoul and a wraith!
It's just that at this moment, the ghouls no longer have immortal bodies, but are looming illusory black shadows, and the original gray phantom bodies of the resentful spirits have also become the same texture.
Seeing this, the wizards gathered around and were surprised.
"they……"
"Continue research! Try to find out the reasons for their mutations!" Salvatore said solemnly.
"good!"
The wizards no longer hesitated and took out the research equipment they carried with them and treated the two undead creatures cautiously.
"Ho ho... kill!"
"Kill..."
The shadow ghouls and wraiths struggled and screamed, but they did not have the ability to speak like the undead creatures did before.
However, with Salvatore personally taking action and suppressed by the origin, their struggles were in vain and they were held down by other legendary wizards for various tests.
"Physical confirmation, there is no difference between it and the shadow creature!"
"The origin is confirmed, no different from the shadow creature!"
"Damn it, their undead origins have been completely transformed..."
…
…
Just after the "Dark Pool", when the expedition wizards were studying the shadow creatures, the northern shore of the southern continent was also ready.
The city-states here are not as hesitant as Custer, nor are they claiming asylum like Waklav, the ghost school.
Some of them were just a large number of priests from the Church of the Earth who came and gathered tens of thousands of extraordinary people and deployed them together in various city-states on the north coast.
The residents in the city-state began to move inland as soon as they noticed the changes in the "Dark Pool" the night before.
Thousands of people were forced to leave their homes, and under the threat of the light of the red moon, they were led by the clergy of the Church of the Earth to the remaining city-states.
The Shadow School, which is the top supernatural power in the southern continent like the Church of the Earth, also sent many wizards.
Originally, they were going north to the Eastern Continent, planning to snatch a Kingdom of Gods from the Dawn Church.
Unexpectedly, before leaving the Southern Continent, we would encounter something like the "Deep Sea Doomsday".
Therefore, the chief wizard of Nikunicha immediately decided to temporarily abandon the plan to go north. All the legendary wizards gathered directly in one place and waited for the "Deep Sea Doomsday" change to pass.
However, what these shadow wizards did not expect was that the impact of the "Deep Sea Doomsday" would come so quickly.
In just one night, the shadow monsters in the "Dark Pool" invaded various islands not far from the north coast.
Judging from the intelligence transmitted from those islands, almost all of them were massacred and destroyed.
Even the Verokala Island, which had been managed by the Church of the Earth for thousands of years and was the so-called forward position of the southern continent, only resisted for two hours before fleeing to the north shore under the leadership of the bishop.
"Endless shadow creatures, they have immortal bodies and are not attacked by weapons or fists."
"At the same time, the origin attack is effective, but at least two legendary extraordinary beings have been besieged by the shadow creatures, and their origins have been dissolved and consumed, resulting in them now only having the power of ruling-level extraordinary beings..."
"Damn it, how could such a terrifying creature appear?"
"Even the clergy of the Earth Church can't resist them?"
"The power of God's faith is effective, but the number of shadow creatures is too large."
"Although most of their current strengths are only at the director level, the huge gap in numbers is enough to make up for the lack of this aspect..."
After gathering information from all aspects, the expressions of many bishops of the Church of the Earth could not be suppressed and became solemn.
Syfreya Atkins, the cardinal archbishop of the Church of the Earth, is the commander in charge of the "Deep Sea Doomsday" crisis.
She was wearing a green robe, the soft texture wrapped around her tight and delicate body, and her face was beautiful and graceful.
But at this moment, her face was also full of solemnity.
"Under the guidance of the oracle of the great lady of the earth, we devout believers cannot give up on the southern continent and must do our best to save the lives of the continent."
"But Lord Bishop Xifreya, we may not be able to fight those shadow monsters with our strength alone!"
"Power of Nature" Saint Luvia Selinta Bella hesitated and said: "The number of those shadow monsters is greater than the residents of all the city-states on the north coast, tens of millions of extraordinary beings..."
She said no more.
Even if it were tens of millions of ordinary people, it would take dozens of days to kill them, let alone tens of millions of extraordinary beings?
This does not include the number of legendary and Hand of the Kingdom level extraordinary beings that may exist among them.
The three knights of the Earth Church and the extraordinary beings from the city-states on the north coast alone could not resist those black shadow monsters.
"The difference in quantity is more than a hundred times!"
Xifreya nodded and stared at the countless black shadows surging behind the clouds in the distance.
"Send notices to the internal kingdoms and ask them to send more extraordinary beings to the North Shore!"
"In addition, the Shadow School also sent people over to invite their wizard Etienne Wilkins to come and discuss the matter."
"There are also the Glory Society, the Eternal Life Society, and those hidden ancient evil sects. Let them come too."
Luvia Selinta was about to nod when she couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this: "Sir, the Shadow School and the Glory Society are fine, but the Eternal Life Society and those evil god sects are heretics set by Lady Earth. I'm afraid they will come..."
"I can't care so much anymore!"
Xifreya's eyes were serious and she said in a heavy tone: "Do as I say. If Ms. Angelina pursues the case, I am willing to take full responsibility for it!"
Luvia Selinta had no choice but to bow and leave quickly.
Ignoring the departure of the "Power of Nature" Saint, Xifreya sighed quietly:
"I hope everything comes in time..."
The hundred-fold numerical gap cannot be made up by the power of the Earth Lady Statue, Rune Array and Faith.
If they do not unite all parties in the Southern Continent, I am afraid that all of them here will die, and it will be difficult to resist the invasion of the shadow creatures.
If it really gets to that point, the Southern Continent will become like purgatory.
Those ordinary people who have just left their homes but have not yet escaped far will die, all the city-states along the coast will be destroyed, and the city-states in the interior will not be spared...
So even if she had to bear the infamy, even if she would be harshly criticized by Lady Earth, Xifreya decided to do this!
However, what she didn't expect was that before she could send the notice, the Shadow School on the other side of the North Shore took action first!
"Ah ha ha--"
"Shadow creatures are creatures with shadow characteristics!"
"With the blessing of the great wizard god, my shadow school has encountered such a good thing!"
"Order, all shadow wizards use all their strength to capture them all and try to save their lives!"
Francois Lambert, as the leader of the Shadow School heading north to the Eastern Continent, couldn't help but look overjoyed after personally dissecting the two shadow creatures.
Without even bothering to report to the chief wizard of Nikunicha, he decided to take the initiative to catch more shadow creatures.
"They are all treasures!"
"Has the extraordinary property of dissolving the origin?"
"It's just perfect!"
"As long as we decipher the mystery of their origin, the original quality power of our Shadow School will be able to reach a higher level."
"Think about it, if we have a hundred legendary wizards with such original power, even if the demigod wizard arrives, we can rely on the power of dissolution to consume him to death!"
"What a wonderful sight that would be..."
Therefore, the wizards of the Shadow School looked crazy.
They took out their special skills and poured out the shadow transformers and shadow seeds carried in the space rings.
In an instant, four armies of 100,000 shadow transformers were formed, attacking the shadow creatures coming from the "dark pool".
"Jie Jie... pay attention, use the shadow seed spells to retain their original characteristics!"
And those dark shadow creatures were not used to these shadow transformers, and they attacked overwhelmingly.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Swallow!"
For a moment, the identical black shadows and shadows were like two huge deformed monsters, entangled with each other.
What Francois Lambert didn't expect was that the shadow creature not only had the property of dissolving the source——
