Chapter 100 Spell Card: Shadow Cloak
Evans had never expected that Yulia would react so strongly after he returned home after only one week of school.
But Yulia was strong-willed and determined. After meeting Aihuas, she would not let Aihuas leave, and kept sticking to him, asking him to tell her about the people he met and the things he encountered in school. Her reasons were also very reasonable, leaving Aihuas speechless-
Yulia asked him: "Is school such a dangerous place? Why did my brother encounter two assassinations in just one week of school?"
What she said was so right that Aihuas didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Aihuas had to sit by her bed and talk to Yulia about what happened in the whole week.
As she talked, Yulia couldn't help but yawn lightly.
Yulia's biological clock is comparable to that of an elementary school student. She can only stay up late when she is reading and studying, and she usually has to prepare to go to bed at about nine o'clock.
Yulia's brain is very good, and she can't go out normally, so she can only read books alone at home.
Like Aiwass, who is obsessed with demonology but has a talent for the path of dedication, Yulia is also interested in and talented in mysticism. But her attention is more focused on astrology, alchemy and preservation - among which her talent for alchemy is much higher than Aiwass.
Although there are many mystical books in Moriarty Manor, the nine paths are not balanced. Among them, there is almost no mysterious knowledge in the path of beauty, the path of transcendence and the path of dusk, while there are many related to the path of balance, the path of wisdom and the path of authority.
Especially the path of balance... Old Moriarty seems to be a transcendent in the path of balance, but he has never demonstrated alchemy in front of his adopted children. Therefore, Aiwass does not know how high his specific level is.
- If it were not for the phantom demon that was boarding in her body that delayed Yulia and prevented her from going to school normally, perhaps Yulia would have skipped grades and become Aiwass's senior.
But even so, Yulia still yearns for school.
One of the reasons why Aiwass decided not to go to college was because Yulia envied him too much - if she went to school, her grades would be much higher than Aiwass's. This made Aiwass feel a little distressed at the time. He simply didn't go to school and stayed at home to study with her.
And now, Aiwass came back with his college experiences.
Of course, Yulia didn't want to sleep. She sat in the quilt, trying to chat with Aiwass for a while.
But seeing that his sister was a little sleepy, Aiwass still relied on the lullaby he learned from Isabel, and easily coaxed Yulia, whose eyelids were fighting, to sleep. Aiwass didn't have the level of the Path of Beauty, so his lullaby didn't have mysterious power. Yulia was really coaxed to sleep by his gentle singing.
Last night, Aiwass originally just wanted to check Yulia's physical condition and see if the Flame Butterfly had woken up. In the end, he was kept by Yulia, but he also enjoyed this kind of comfortable communication. There is a sense of peace accompanying his family, which can relax his tense nerves.
Edward's seal is in good condition, and the cards that Aiwas gave to Yulia to nurture have gradually become a little spiritual. If nothing unexpected happens, the Flame of the Rebellious Butterfly should recover by this time next week - when that time comes, Aiwas can start preparing to seal it.
But he does not intend to seal it before the Transcendent Path is advanced.
Because the Flame of the Rebellious Butterfly is a phantom demon dedicated to the Path, with pure fire attributes and no darkness.
Although the seal and summoning come from the ritual of the Transcendent Path, its own power belongs to the Dedication Path. Therefore, this is a power that Aiwas can use as a priest and can be put on the surface. It is also a trump card that Aiwas can use openly in front of everyone - this is completely opposite to the shameful Shadow Demon.
Therefore, Aiwas's other identity of the Transcendent Path is better not to use this power in the advanced ceremony, which may cause leaks.
Then sealing the Flame of the Rebellious Butterfly before the advancement is just asking for trouble. The New Moon Ritual was difficult to begin with, and Aiwas was very cautious and didn't want to add meaningless difficulty to himself for no reason.
If Yulia was not in good condition, Aiwas would seal it forcefully despite the greatly increased difficulty. But since the seal was in good condition now, he could seal it after the advancement.
Next Sunday night, it would be the promotion ceremony of the Transcendent Path. The day after the advancement was completed, Aiwas would take a leave and seal the Flame of the Rebellious Butterfly at noon.
——But next week, Aiwas would first deal with those people from the Noble Red Society.
Using the upper demon to assassinate him in public, and even suspected of attacking Sherlock... Maybe they would come back a second time, or use other means to attack Aiwas.
So Aiwas directly upgraded his demonologist profession from level 6 to level 9, and his dark attribute mana pool also became 9 points:
Demonologist LV9: [Demonology-2 level (97%)], [Basic Ritual-2 level (0%)], [Demon Contract-3 level (80%)], [Shepherding (Essence)-2 level (0%)]
The levels of "Demonology" and "Demon Contract" can be slightly stuck, and can be directly pulled up two levels after promotion. As long as Aiwas stops reading the book of demonology, this skill will not continue to increase - and as long as he uses the power of the shadow demon, the level of the demon contract will slowly increase.
So he imitated the preliminary process of making "Enchanted Card: Shadow Blade" before. After Aiwass returned to his room, he prepared an unactivated Tarot card that stored four points of mana. Then I went to bed immediately, planning to get up early the next day to recover my mana and go straight to making cards.
He now plans to make a new "Moon" card.
Only one magic card made from the same tarot card can be used in a day. The Shadow Demon is not a high-level phantom. It is only compatible with the Moon Tarot card, and a high-level phantom has multiple possibilities. This means that if you use the new card extracted by Shadow Demon, you will no longer be able to use the old "Shadow Blade" on this day.
But now Aiwass feels more and more that the Shadow Blade may not be able to handle all situations - for example, when fighting against the Abnormal Limb Demon before, the Shadow Blade became meaningless.
Aiwass got up after only seven hours of sleep. Seven hours of sleep is enough to regain full mana.
It was half past five, and the first thing Aiwass did when he got up was to go to the table to get the half-finished Magic Card that he had made.
Aiwass drove a rusty nail into the card, making an acidic sound - counting blank cards, this was Aiwass's third card. Now he has gradually become more proficient.
Shadow Demon is also used to make the moon card, so the previous process is exactly the same. It's just that the magic power injected at the end is different, and the properties of the magic card that come out are completely different.
With more than ten points of dark attribute mana, you can create "Spell Card: Shadow Cloak", with more than twenty points, you can create "Spell Card: Shadow Blast", and with thirty points, you can create "Field Card: Shadow Vault".
——[Shadow Vault] is the most useful card for Shadow Demon. It is able to briefly transform the surrounding space into a closed, shadow-filled area, forcing the construction of a home where there are not a lot of shadows to be found. Inside the "Shadow Cellar", even the holy light summoned by the lighting technique will become extremely dim, and non-mysterious light sources such as torches, candles, and lights will all be extinguished.
In this area, the shadow demon can move extremely fast, mimic freely, and receive continuous all-attribute bonuses, without being bound to Aiwass's shadow. It is equivalent to entering a state of explosion.
Therefore, after Aiwass can make the "Field Card: Shadow Vault", he will basically not use the Shadow Blade. This basically has to wait until his Demonologist reaches level 19 before he can do this.
After all, Aiwass is not a real mortal sin scholar and can directly make wild phantoms into phantom cards. Now Aiwass can bully the shadow demon who signed a contract with him. Since there is only one chance a day, the skills that can be obtained with normal professional abilities can be put down.
"Shadow Blast" is a pure killing spell with no other effect except damage.
For pure damage, other spells can also be used, and even Shadow Blade plus a pistol may not be impossible. Its advantage is that it is instant...and this advantage can only be reflected after using many different tarot cards. In this way, Aiwass can turn over several different fantasy cards in an instant, and perform a beautiful burst of shots.
But in Avalon, Aiwass didn't dare to use this pure shadow power to blast people; but in the ceremony, Aiwass could directly let the shadow demon do it - so the twenty-point "Shadow Blast" is not as good as The "Shadow Cloak" made with ten mana points is very useful.
It can even be said that even if the Shadow Vault has great support for Shadow Demon... in PVP, the card slot of the "Moon" card still has to be reserved for Shadow Cloak.
Soon, Aiwass finished making the cards. The last step left is to ask the Self to imbue the new tarot cards with spirituality.
Unlike before, Aiwass was now a serious pastor. There is no need to hang up the phone in a daze after sprinkling black pearl powder, waiting quietly for Heng Wo to discover this ritual... He can just knock on the pillar god of the path of love through the small window. This also prevents card creation from failing.
"I worship the Eternal One, the God whose holy numbers are one, the God who brings nourishment after death, the God who has been ignorant for a long time—the Eternal One who is like the moon!"
Aiwass's pupils shone with golden-red light. He hung his hands on the tarot cards and prayed seriously: "Please give me love!"
——Is the boss here? Can the boss take a look?
It was not yet completely dark at this time, so Hengwo responded to the prayer quite quickly.
Soon, there was a breeze in the room. That is enough to slightly roll up the dead leaves on the ground.
And as the wind blew, the shadows under Aiwass were drawn out bit by bit like brushed marshmallows.
"...What kind of power is this?! What's going on?"
Shadow Demon's stunned voice sounded next to Aiwass: "Why can you directly take away my power——"
It wanted to turn into a human, but it collapsed in an instant; it mimicked a hound again, but then the shadow that formed its mimicry was blown away by the sinister wind - it kept boiling and evaporating on the ground.
What technology is this? What mysterious skill?
The last time Aiwass made the Phantom Card, the Shadow Demon didn't wake up.
It was only vaguely aware that Aiwass had extracted part of its power. But because that partial force is too weak, it doesn't feel anything. Although it knew that there was part of its own aura in that card, Shadow Demon didn't know how Aiwass did it at that time.
But this time when the card was made, Aiwass was not in a wheelchair. Shadow Demon was fully awake and watching the whole process.
——It has never heard that a demonologist can directly draw away the power of the devil he contracted by worshiping the Nine Pillars!
Are you a demonologist or a priest?
Soon, Shadow Fiend caught a familiar smell from this breath:
"Is this... the ritual of [Sin]?"
As a demon, it certainly knows this celestial being who governs almost all demons.
This ritual undoubtedly comes from the original beast - his other name is the Fallen Celestial Being. The celestial being who is feared by demons and is in charge of concepts such as corruption and sin.
Sin is at least a celestial being of the top three levels in the Path of Transcendence, and only [Ouroboros] can suppress him. Because Sin once raised the banner of rebellion against the Snake Father and then failed, his many records in the material world were basically all erased by the followers of the Snake Father, and basically only a few words about "Fallen Celestial Being" can be known in the extremely profound demonology.
The Shadow Fiend then realized that Aiwass was not completely ignorant of the Fallen Celestial Being - he did not just hear a name and know that it was the celestial being who governed demons, and then promised it that he would kill the Fallen Celestial Being in the future.
Ewass not only has enough knowledge of the Fallen Celestial Being... he can even use his rituals!
——He was serious!
What a pure and arrogant desire for transcendence!
This made Shadow Demon excited and tremble, and at the same time, it made him feel strongly uneasy - is it really possible for a mortal to defeat Tiansi?
For the first time, Shadow Demon was worried about Aiwas's safety from the bottom of his heart. It was not because of loyalty, but because he was worried that he would be too aggressive and provoke an enemy he could not defeat and lose meaninglessly.
The essence of transcendence is rebellion, but the premise of rebellion is victory. Otherwise, it is just rebellion.
Shadow Demon felt that his power was drained by almost one-fifth, and the ceremony finally stopped.
The card that looked almost exactly like "Shadow Blade" floated up by itself and flew into Aiwas's hand.
Its properties also appeared in front of Aiwas:
[Spell: Shadow Cloak (Moon)]
[Required: Dark 1]
[Instant, non-contact, effective immediately]
[Effect: Knock back all surrounding targets, immediately remove the seal, freeze, burn, bind, petrify the state you are currently suffering, and enter a completely invisible state for one minute (+30%). When the invisibility state granted by this effect is broken, a curse is imposed on all hostile targets that are in sight of you, with an effect equivalent to the "blinding curse"]
