Chapter 2262 God Shadow
A vortex of intertwined shadows emerged on the ground, forming a plane passage connecting the "Netherworld". The "Mythical Giant Night Shadow" of the Underworld responded to the master's call and crawled out of the vortex.
The gigantic body of the mythical giant insect Yeying, which was hundreds of feet long, coiled around Joan, almost filling the square in front of the castle gate.
Joan noticed the Gnoll sentries that fell from the nearby arrow tower, six of them lay dead in the square, and were inadvertently crushed by the giant worm. , he raised his hand to touch the tentacles of the giant worm, and commanded it to activate the "myth and blasphemy aura" telepathically.
"Obey, my dear master."
Yeying, a hideous and terrifying mythical giant insect, has a telepathic voice like a dignified and elegant lady. It sounds a little out of character at first, but after getting used to it, Joan finds her voice very attractive. She is full of femininity... so just listen to the voice, the appearance is not important.
The radiation range of the "mythical blasphemous aura" is proportional to the rank of the mythology. The mythical giant night shadow is a mythical creature of the 7th rank. The maximum radiation radius of the aura is 70 feet, covering the square and the surrounding buildings.
The souls of the Gnoll Sentinels who fell to death in this area had not completely escaped from their bodies, and were infested by the "mythical blasphemy aura", and the souls of these dead were all automatically transformed into "shadows".
These incorporeal undead creatures instinctively sensed that the "mythical blasphemous aura" could strengthen their power, so they spontaneously surrounded the center of the square, and sharp black silhouettes appeared on the ground.
The "mythical blasphemous aura" only transforms the souls of the dead into shadows, and cannot control the shadows. Of course, these shadows will not actively attack Joan and the mythical giant night shadow. They have more and better prey, that is Those Gnoll guards hiding in the castle.
Six shadows floated in front of the gate of the castle. With the special ability of the incorporeal undead, they directly penetrated through the thick iron gate and sneaked into the hall on the first floor of the castle without a sound. Throat, injecting negative energy into its body.
The Jackal guards, who were suddenly attacked, screamed one after another, twisting their bodies desperately, brandishing their swords, trying to get rid of the ghost's grip.
The shadow has no substance, and it cannot be killed by the iron weapons held by the wolf man guards. The struggle of the prey is doomed to be in vain.
A shadow's melee touch can pierce armor directly, dealing 2 necrotic damage to the victim, plus 2 points of Strength damage.
Thirty guards guarding the gate of the castle were entangled by six shadows, and fell to the ground after being touched four or five times on average. A black shadow emerged from the body, and their souls transformed into new shadows.
Within five minutes, there were no screams in the hall on the first floor of the castle.
Joan performed a "knocking technique" and opened the gate of the castle. In the dark hall, there were twenty or thirty corpses of gnolls lying on the floor.
In the dark corner of the hall, there are vaguely shaking ghosts, which are the ghosts transformed from the souls of the dead.
In the barracks on the outskirts of the square, a large group of jackal warriors were alerted by the alarm bell, hurriedly put on their leather armor, picked up their weapons, and rushed to besiege the intruders.
Joan observed the surrounding movement and found that the number of enemies was increasing rapidly. With the power of him and the mythical giant night shadow, it is not impossible to kill the garrison in the castle, but it is too troublesome and contrary to his original intention.
After a little thought, Joan got an idea, so he drew 5 "Sid Mana", combined with "Spell Chain" to cast the 2nd-level spell "Command Undead", and raised his hand to shoot a pale negative energy ray.
The ray hit a shadow in the hall, and then refracted to the surroundings. A total of 24 shadows were affected by the spell and controlled by Joan's mind.
Qiao An took the medicine according to the prescription, and "chained command undead" again, this time only controlled eight ghosts, adding up to a total of thirty-two - based on his current spellcasting level, and "mythical blasphemous aura" For the strengthening effect of necromancy, this is the upper limit of the number of shadows that can be controlled.
Joan issued a mental command to all the shadows under his control, ordering them to surround the square and deploy defenses. If any gnolls broke into the defense area, they would kill them immediately!
Thirty-two shadows spread out quickly, and respectively rushed towards the wolf man warrior who rushed to the front.
In the fortress filled with yellow sand, there were screams.
The gnoll who was blocked didn't even see the enemy hiding in the sandstorm, and was attacked by the shadow. He shuddered and swung his knife indiscriminately, fighting with the ghost without substance. His energy was quickly sucked out, and his soul was also killed. Forcibly pulled out the body, transformed into a shadow under the pollution of "mythical blasphemous aura", joined the ranks of other evil spirits, turned around and hunted down his former companions.
Yeying, the mythical giant insect, noticed that there were more and more shadows in the square. If they were allowed to do their own thing, the efficiency of killing the enemy would be too low, so they sent a telepathy to Joan.
"Master, do you need me to help you control more shadows?"
"Okay." Joan nodded first, and then asked her, "What's your name?"
"My name is very long, master, are you sure you have the patience to listen to it?"
"This..." Qiao An showed embarrassment.
Sister Yu's chuckle came from her mind: "Why don't the master help me to choose a simpler name, which is convenient for me to call."
"How about... the bug?" Joan asked tentatively.
"...Could you please change it?"
The dissatisfied reproach of the mythical giant insect Yeying came from his mind, which convinced Joan once again that he was really not good at naming people—or insects.
"You are not satisfied with 'Xiao Chong', then..." Joan scratched his head, "How about calling you 'Xiao Ying'?"
"Why do you have to put the word 'small'? Where am I smaller?"
The mythical giant worm Yeying sighed after being coquettish, knowing that he couldn't count on this unreliable master, so he should do it himself.
"Master, what do you think of the nickname 'Shenying'?"
"It's not as good as Xiaoying, or you can call it 'Daying'." Qiao An said truthfully.
"I just want to be called 'God Shadow'!" The mythical giant Ye Ying couldn't bear it anymore, exposing the nature of the "crazy old lady", "That's the decision!"
"That's fine... Anyway, it's your name, as long as you like it."
Joan wisely stopped being picky, and urged the "God Shadow" to cast a spell to control the shadow.
The irascible old lady raised the tentacles on her forehead in satisfaction, locked onto the area where the shadows were most dense in the square, and blasted out a 7-ring "controlling undead".
The pale negative energy vortex spread silently, sending out a mental shock to the many shadows within the range of the spell. In an instant, Shenying transformed them all into his own undead servants.
