Chapter 83 Shadow Demon: How Dare You?

When Chloe advanced, she put almost all of her Tao characteristics into "Shadow Affinity".

The first level of Shadow Affinity can only make her less conspicuous when she is in the shadow; or it can reduce her presence when her face is covered by the shadow.

Starting from the second level, Shadow Affinity can begin to interfere with reality.

After Chloe strengthened Shadow Affinity to the second level, she can mix the power of Shadow attributes into her dagger and arrow. This is because the power of Shadow has penetrated into the mysterious skill of "Assassination".

And from the third level, the power of Shadow has penetrated into the professional ability of "Stealth".

Now she can completely hide in the shadow.

Because generally no one will specifically choose Shadow Affinity, a Tao characteristic that is useless in the early stage, so the ability that requires adaptation to Tao and requires the third level of Shadow Affinity as a threshold to barely learn is undoubtedly a very rare skill. At least most people in Avalon don't know this secret.

Even among "Eagle Eye", there are not many people who master this skill.

This cognitive gap is undoubtedly fatal.

But she is not the legendary "shadow demon" after all, and cannot melt into the shadow at will. If she wants to maintain her shadow state, she must continue to concentrate and continue to consume physical strength and energy.

If her hidden shadow is destroyed, she will also be hurt. And if someone walks too fast, the shadow environment under her feet changes too quickly, which will also consume too much physical strength and make her tired. If the other party happens to walk under the light, making the shadow extremely small, she may also fail to stealth.

However, all kinds of disadvantages do not affect the power of this skill.

With the extraordinary equipment that reduces the sense of presence, she can make other people not notice the shadow at all. So far, she has used this skill to kill many people silently. She even used this skill to sneak into the bedroom of a councillor under layers of protection, killed him, and then hid in the shadow, waiting for the guard to check the situation and then followed the guard's shadow to leave.

After using this skill many times, Chloe has gained some experience.

The larger the shape and stability of the shadow, the less physical strength and energy you consume.

So Chloe found a perfect hiding place.

——That is right under the wheelchair where Aiwas sat.

When the wheelchair moves forward, its shadow area basically does not change. Therefore, she can hide in it all the time, almost effortlessly. Even if Inspector Edward or Detective Sherlock came later, they would not think that "the murderer is hiding under Aiwas".

That is the so-called darkness under the lamp.

And when Aiwas goes to bed at night, she can quietly crawl out from the shadow under the wheelchair and kill Aiwas.

This is to be on the safe side and reduce variables.

She really doesn't understand how Aiwas guessed her actions.

At most, Aiwas can guess that the Minister of Trade is related to the Noble Red Society, but the people of the society are in the same group with the secretary, so there is no need and it is impossible to kill him; even if Aiwas knows "Eagle Feather" and knows the existence of the "Eagle Eye" organization, he should not think about it in this direction - no one will know their true purpose and mission, everything is hidden in the shadows.

And Aiwass could even say "the other party may have put the file in the book". It was as if he had seen it all with his own eyes.

It was too scary.

I couldn't understand it. I couldn't figure it out.

Could he be a natural prophet who could predict the future?

But Chloe was an open-minded person who didn't make things difficult for herself. She usually didn't think about things that she couldn't figure out.

——Since I couldn't figure it out, I'd get rid of Aiwass, the unstable factor, tonight.

Then I'll use your shadow to hide for a while, and then I'll give you a knife in the dead of night.

Anyone would think that this was revenge from the Minister of Trade.

Thinking of this, Chloe turned into a creeping shadow and rubbed into the shadow of an inspector who was about to go downstairs. And when he passed by Aiwass, he followed his shadow and crawled under Aiwass' wheelchair.

But at this moment.

Chloe suddenly felt a great and extremely strong fear.

This fear and avoidance of dangerous things is the warning of her power of adapting to the path. Whenever she went into danger without knowing it, the power of adapting to the path would turn into a kind of "fear" and try to save her.

...But what exactly is it?

Chloe's common sense told her that she must not go out at this time. Otherwise, she would become the target of public criticism if she suddenly appeared next to Aiwass, and it would be difficult for her to escape from the encirclement of the air cavalry outside.

But the fear became stronger and stronger, making Chloe's brain numb and her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

If someone looked at the shadow cast by Aiwass's wheelchair at this time, they would find that his shadow was shaking slightly as if he was sitting in front of the fireplace.

At this time, Aiwass suddenly seemed to fall into thought, holding his chin with his right hand and looking forward attentively.

Then, under Chloe's peeping, he nodded thoughtfully.

——Then, he looked down at his own shadow.

A pair of azure blue pupils were as calm as water and as deep as an abyss.

Being looked down at by those eyes, Chloe was terrified for a moment.

Could this be the crisis warning I gave you before?

Could he have guessed what happened to him again?

Realizing this possibility, the fear in her heart was almost overwhelmed by shock and confusion.

Why?

How could he guess that I was here? !

Are there any positioning marks on my body? Did he notice the change in the shadow? Or did I expose some flaws that I didn't notice?

"Chief Gordon."

Just as the increasingly panicked Chloe hesitated to leave Aiwass's shadow, Aiwass suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Please come here."

She felt that she had found an opportunity. Taking advantage of Aiwass raising his head to call someone, she immediately jumped into the shadow of Isabel next to Aiwass.

You should never be able to find me this way!

At this time, Princess Isabel seemed to notice something. She had a grimace on her face and frowned slightly, as if she felt a little unwell.

This is actually quite normal.

The transcendent of the path of beauty is much more sensitive than other paths...but luckily she doesn't know about the skill of shadow sneaking.

After all, I didn't directly notice that there was something in the shadow. Chloe comforted herself in her heart.

Upon hearing Aiwass's call, Director Gordon frowned slightly, but still walked over obediently.

"Did you find anything, Mr. Aiwass?"

The old director asked.

After Commissioner Gordon approached him, Aiwass showed a gentle and calm smile.

That is a confident smile that guarantees victory.

"That's right, Commissioner Gordon. Please protect me."

Aiwass said, taking out an exquisite elf pistol from his arms.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Director Gordon felt that its hollow, silver shell carved with thorns seemed to dim for a moment.

The old man's face became serious the next moment. Without even seeing the movement, the old knight who was more than one meter away suddenly appeared next to Aiwass, and his powerful right hand landed directly on Aiwass's wrist.

Because the muzzle of Aiwass' gun was too close to Her Royal Highness.

If it weren't for Aiwass calling out to himself before taking action, and aiming at the shadow under his feet. The old knight was afraid that the moment Aiwass pulled out his gun, he would directly subdue him.

He put his hand on Aiwass's wrist at this moment, confident that his movements would definitely be faster than bullets. At this distance, if Aiwass wanted to target Isabel's vital points, he could easily stop it.

Aiwass was not panicked, he just stared at the shadow under his feet.

Looking in the direction of his gaze, Chloe also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she could still feel the sense of crisis, compared with the sense of crisis when she was under Aiwass, as if she would die the next moment, it was much easier now.

Under the quiet gaze of almost everyone in the club, Aiwass said slowly: "I just came up with a bold idea after complex thinking and reasoning. Of course, it is also mixed with irrational inspiration. . I don’t guarantee that this conjecture is correct, it is just an idea, but I still called Director Gordon here just in case.”

After stacking the armor, Aiwass suddenly pulled the trigger at the shadow under his feet.

boom--

The muzzle of the gun fired, and the bullets really fired up. This shocked almost everyone, except for Chloe who was a little relieved.

And almost at the next moment, Aiwass without hesitation turned his gun slightly and aimed at the shadow of Isabel that was connected with his own shadow.

boom--

The second bullet was fired, and a high-pitched scream sounded from the shadow under Isabel.

A beautiful girl with a face twisted in pain and wearing a thin white dress staggered out of her shadow.

This made Isabel's scalp numb for a moment.

When did she get into my shadow?

The old knight's reaction was extremely quick.

He almost didn't hesitate, and the right hand that was originally resting on Aiwass's wrist instantly shot out and hit Chloe, who was standing between Aiwass and Isabel.

It was obviously just a bullet, but Chloe's right shoulder seemed to have been cut off by some sharp object, almost broken.

A hurricane blew past, and Chloe was blown away.

The hair of Aiwass and Isabel beside them was instantly messed up by the strong wind, and Chloe smashed through the counter with a loud noise and hit the wine cabinet behind the bar hard.

Several copies of "Dracula" held by Chloe, as well as her glasses, were scattered on the spot.

After pushing the opponent away from Princess Isabel for the first time, the old knight finally drew his sword.

He drew out the two-handed sword, and the brilliant silver light burned throughout the sword like silver fire.

He rushed over immediately, like an ancient knight.

Chloe, who was pushed against the wall by him, melted into a shadow again with pain on her face, flew close to the ground at extremely fast speeds, and fled out of the club. Director Gordon rushed out directly.

"Make sure it's marked, right?"

Aiwass asked Shadow Demon in his heart.

[Of course, my master... is foolproof]

Shadow Demon's hoarse and low voice sounded.

[I can’t wait to drown this bold little thief in the shadows]

Just now, his shadow demon was suddenly awakened.

Someone had entered his shadow.

Shadow Demon was extremely angry that his territory was invaded by others. If it hadn't been for Aiwass' urgent comfort, it would have immediately torn the arrogant assassin into pieces in public, and spread her evenly within a radius of fifty meters.

——But in that case, Aiwass will be in trouble.

So he just fell into deep thought, but he was actually talking to Shadow Demon and trying to comfort him.

Unless Aiwass encounters an irreversible life danger that must be resolved immediately, he will definitely hide the fact that he has a contract with the Shadow Demon. Even if Avalon no longer prohibits crossing the road, he will not take the initiative to expose it. Because this is his trump card.

You see, it's because Chloe doesn't know the existence of the Shadow Demon that she tries to invade Aiwass's shadow.

However, based on Aiwass's experience, he would not let Shadow Demon take action. This shot would not be able to kill a high-level assassin who was at least level 30 or 40.

Extraordinary people who are adapted to the road are particularly good at running.

Unless it is killed in an instant, once it enters a chase, it is highly likely that it cannot be killed.

So Shadow Demon gave another solution in advance.

Aiwass used the [Enchanting Card: Shadow Blade] created by extracting the power of the Shadow Demon to attack her, leaving traces of the Shadow Demon in the shadows she controlled.

In this way, whenever she appears nearby again, the Shadow Demon will be able to notice it immediately; or Aiwass can take the initiative to track her... or use it as a medium to directly impose a curse on her.

Although he has not yet mastered the skill of cursing. But Aiwass was sure that the other party would come again.

Because when he shot her out, Aiwass felt the strong murderous intention and anger of the other party.

She clearly hasn't understood how she was exposed. But she should have understood that Aiwass had some way of finding her.

To prevent herself from being exposed again, she would probably try to attack Aiwass when he was least alert and unable to think—that is, while Aiwass was sleeping.

She might even torture Aiwass in a deserted place to get the secret that he could see the flaws in his shadow stealth.

But unfortunately...

While Aiwass slept, Shadow Demon was awake.

As long as she comes, she will definitely die.

Not only will equipment be given away, but experience will also be given away.

This is much easier than taking the initiative to find her.

Assassins who specialize in shadow abilities cannot defeat the "Shadow Demon", the superior demon who controls the shadow realm.

Aiwass knew her profession even better than the assassin. This in itself is a skill they developed by imitating the Shadow Demon's innate abilities.

Suddenly, Aiwass saw the glasses on the ground. He felt a little familiar.

It seems that the equipment has exploded?

"Lily."

Aiwass looked at it and called softly.

Lily guessed what Aiwass meant, picked it up before he could speak, and handed it to Aiwass.

Allen on the side also saw this scene, but he didn't say a word.

He tilted his head and pretended he didn't see anything.

Aiwass took the glasses and its attributes appeared before his eyes:

【Observer in the Shadow】

[Extraordinary Equipment (Light Purple)]

[Armor-Head]

[Characteristics: Law·Cannot be looked directly at (triggered only when adapting to the road)]

[Feature: When the enemy does not find you, by continuing to observe the enemy, you can slowly increase the inevitable hit rate when attacking the opponent for the first time (once a day, 0/1)]

[Set: Eagle in the Shadow (1/4)]

["——Continue to observe and analyze. Remember, you only have one chance to take action."]

——The equipment is really awesome!

Still a good piece of equipment!

This is a PVP set that can only be exchanged for the favorability of the assassin organization "Eagle Eye" after the favorability reaches respect.

The permanent spell "Cannot Look Directly" can make the user's presence continue to decrease, become more transparent, and even become invisible when standing still. Another characteristic called "Observer" will continuously increase the inevitable hit rate when the opponent continues to be within the field of vision. The specific performance is to continuously erase one's own existence before hitting the opponent.

This is indeed good stuff. It's a pity that I am not a person who is adapted to the path, and I don't know friends who are adapted to the path...

Ava paused.

An idea suddenly came to him.

...Speaking of which, Lily seems to have always had a low sense of presence. Wouldn't she have the adaptability to adapt to the road?

With this in mind, Aiwass gave it to Lily.

"Try it on."

Aiwass had some expectation in his eyes: "Maybe it will be a good fit for you."

When Lily suddenly becomes invisible, it means she has awakened her aptitude!

And if Lily really has the talent to adapt to the path... maybe when she surpasses the path and advances in the future, she can form a team illegally!

Lily held her glasses, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

"Aiwass, Aiwass..."

At this moment, Isabel on the side gently placed the fingers of her right hand on Aiwass's forearm.

This intimate gesture made Allen's eyelids twitch again.

Can't see, can't see...

He thought silently in his mind again.

There was some curiosity in Isabel's eyes, and some fear that had not completely dissipated. Apparently, Isabel was startled by the fact that a big living person suddenly jumped out of her shadow: "How did you guess that she was in the shadow?"

"—This is basic reasoning, my friend."

Aiwass raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke Sherlock's mantra without thinking.

He raised his eyebrows and looked around: "What, everyone? Do you want to hear it too?"

His tone at this moment was as if he was not a freshman, but a detective who had been famous for a long time.

And no one around felt anything was wrong. Instead, they looked at Aiwass with an almost astonished look, as if he had performed an incomprehensible magic trick.

Aiwass relaxed his body, lay back in his wheelchair, and faced the scrutiny of the crowd with a calm and confident smile: "The specific reasoning steps are too complicated and there are accidental elements in it, so I won't waste everyone's time.

"Of course, I still hope that the murderer can speak out herself. I am not an inspector or a detective, just an ordinary reserve priest. If the murderer can be arrested by our director, she will take the initiative to confess her crime and demonstrate the majesty of the law; and if the murderer is unfortunately allowed to escape the law temporarily, then I will not be able to expose her flaws. This will only help her perfect her disguise, right? "

Just kidding, I don't even know how I deduced it. Aiwass thought.

But Aiwass fully believed that Sherlock would be able to come up with a reasonable explanation.

-Then I'll ask Mr. Sherlock to write it for me.

I updated 8,800 words today and finished this paragraph in one breath. Please give me a monthly ticket!
