Chapter 99: Assassination in a Race Against Time

Although Moria has not been able to create a shadow army yet, this does not mean that this skill is useless. On the contrary, it can play a greater role in certain situations.

For example, in this situation now.

To be honest, using these created shadows to fight is more for show than for actual combat. The strength of these shadows is the strength of the original body, but Moria has strengthened it again.

It is better to let Moria himself, or Moria's own shadow, fight with these shadows. After all, Moria's shadow mage is the embodiment of Moria's own strength, equivalent to another Moria. But these conquered shadow brothers are different. They cannot exceed the strength of Moria's shadow. If they are stronger than Moria's shadow, they cannot be transformed at all. If they are weaker than Moria's shadow, they can only be said to be a burden in this level of battle, and will consume Moria's physical strength.

Unless Moria uses him to bully those soldiers, it is almost the same.

They cannot fight, but they are perfect helpers for collecting intelligence, lurking, poisoning, etc.

These shadows are equivalent to Moria having an extra pair of movable eyes. Through these shadows, Moria can obtain the information she wants. The more shadows there are, the more information she can obtain, but the premise is that Moria's brain must be able to handle it.

At present, after training, Moria's brain can withstand the impact of information brought by up to ten shadows, but generally, Moria will not do that. That way is too mentally exhausting, and it can't last long. The most suitable is 4 to 5 shadows, which will not cause too much burden to Moria, nor will it be too small to collect effective information.

Moreover, compared with human shadows, Moria prefers the shadows of various small animals and insects. Because the shape of human shadows is too large, although it can be hidden, it is still relatively easy to find, and the shadows of these small animals are different. There are a few small animals and insects in any place, even if they are seen, they will not be suspected.

This drunkard swordsman is Moria. Using a shadow beetle to do the trick, Moria let this shadow beetle carry a kind of drug and use it in this room. This drug has a faint fragrance, but in this alcohol-filled room, it can't be smelled at all, and even if you smell it, you will think it is the fragrance of flowers outside.

This drug is very powerful. No matter who it is, it can make him fall into a state of extreme sleep. For three days and three nights, he has no perception of the outside world. During this period, you can do anything to him, even if you cut off his limbs and take out his heart, he will not react at all.

But it is so powerful, and naturally it has disadvantages, that is, this drug must be used in large quantities, and it must be inhaled continuously for more than an hour. Moreover, one or two packets, with a small dose, will not work at all. It must reach a dose of more than ten packets. The more doses, the stronger the effect.

Therefore, due to various shortcomings, this thing has always been used as a spice, or extracted and used as a sleeping pill. Even if Moria used a modified version, it still has the disadvantages of large dosage and slow effect.

No one would be stupid enough to watch you sprinkle powder all over the room without any reaction. Moriah had thought of using other kinds of drugs, but none of them were as effective as this one. In the pirate world, some ordinary poisons had no effect on the strong. Moriah didn't know what the principle was. Maybe the strong's immune function became stronger?

In order to achieve the effect, Moriah finally chose this drug with major flaws for the sake of safety.

So, the shadow beetle turned into a hardworking little bee throughout the afternoon, pushing the drug ball made of drugs from the outside, constantly going back and forth in the room. Naturally, the behavior of this little black bug also caught his eye, but he didn't suspect it, thinking that this bug regarded this place as its home and wanted to make a nest here.

Even when he was drunk, he drank with Moriah's shadow beetle, and felt very funny watching the bug fluttering in the foot water.

But he didn't realize that this little bug would kill him immediately.

Moriah's shadow beetle's work results in the afternoon were very significant. He moved 20 bags back and forth and spread them in the room.

When Moriah came to the room, the drunkard swordsman had completely fallen asleep and didn't notice Moriah's arrival at all. Naturally, Moriah easily completed his first goal.

But the remaining two goals were not so easy.

One was very smart, and his words and deeds were all noble. He was the leader this time. He had no bad habits in life. Moreover, Moriah's shadow beetle was killed by him as soon as it came to his room, and he couldn't even get close.

As for the other one, he is very burly and looks like a rough man, but he is also very delicate. He has been mixing with his subordinates and fighting. Don't look at him as a warrior who knows how to do two big and three big things, but Moria feels that among these three people, his prestige is the highest among his subordinates. Moria's shadow beetle hiding in the crowd was crushed by him several times, so Moria didn't dare to get close and could only monitor from a distance.

For the remaining two people, Moria thought about it and decided to attack the leader first.

On the surface, the burly man is easier to attack, but Moria can't see through him. And the leader, although very smart and without any flaws, Moria still thinks he is easier to deal with.

Moria has already solved one, and Moria only needs to solve one more of the remaining two. Then even if Moria is exposed, it doesn't matter. The remaining one is no threat and can be directly crushed with strength.

After dealing with the drunkard swordsman, Moriah took advantage of the night and quickly used the shadow warrior to come to the leader's room. The room was very elegantly decorated, and the leader was reviewing documents on the table.

While Moria was still in the form of a shadow warrior, he directly used a shadow horn gun from the shadow.

Although Moria had hidden his killing intention to the lowest level under the cover of night, he still made the other party aware of the danger and escaped dangerously. But Moriah did not gain nothing, and the other party was still injured by Moriah's attack.

After failing to hit the opponent, Moriah quickly launched a second attack, seizing the moment when the opponent had not yet recovered and causing damage to the opponent.

Since he had been exposed, he could only fight quickly and get rid of the person in front of him before the support of another person arrived, and then, if possible, get rid of the other person, then Moriah's goal would be achieved.

Therefore, Moriah went all out as soon as he made a move, and never left any chance for the opponent.
