Chapter 64 The Dark Night Falls and the Void Guard
In mid-September of the new calendar year 3797, the shadow herbal medicine finally reaped its harvest.
The construction of the Shadow Cleft has also entered the final stage. The farmers dug a long and narrow pit on the east side of the water altar. After compacting the soil in the pit, obsidian was used as the base, and the source material ingots were laid on top, and finally the shadow essence was embellished in it.
In the final step, farmers evenly apply the juice of black feather moss to the bottom and side walls of the pit. After these juices solidify, they form a thick black translucent protective film.
After doing this, Shadow Rift is officially completed.
Luo Mo personally squeezed the various harvested shadow herbs into juice, mixed it with an equal proportion of mountain spring water, and then poured it into the Shadow Crack.
The overall shape of the crack is like a small swimming pool. The difference is that the sides of the crack are sharp and slightly wider in the middle. Moreover, it was not pure water, but herbal juice that exuded a strange smell.
Romo ordered everyone to leave, leaving only Calcifer to raid the formation for him.
Due to the miraculous natural magic, Kashif has now become Romo's spiritual support. Once any danger occurs, she will be the first thing Romo thinks of.
Calcifer also enjoyed being around Lomo. With Romo, she could use magic without fear of being reported. Moreover, she likes Romo's smile. His smile makes people feel at ease involuntarily.
Seeing Romo holding the soul-splitting sword and slowly walking into the smelly crack, Kasiful clasped his hands together and prayed silently in his heart: "My lord, we will definitely break through successfully." Within the crack, Romo almost
soaked his whole body within the medicinal solution. Although it was early autumn, he felt a biting coldness. Certain substances in the medicine were constantly stimulating his body, giving him a numb feeling.
He used the soul-splitting sword to slowly disperse the shadow magic into the liquid, and then whispered the spell.
As the mantra was chanted slowly, the liquid medicine, centered on Luo Mo, first swayed slightly, and then began to boil like boiling water, with bubbles popping out from above.
When Kasif saw this scene, she immediately became very worried and said, "Sir, why is this pool of water so hot? You are not going to be cooked, are you?" Romo shrank his neck and shook his head.
He only felt that the surroundings were cold. , It shouldn’t be that you will die from the heat, but it will be true that you will be almost frozen to death.
Suddenly, he felt something strange under his feet. He quickly looked down and saw that the originally solid and clean ground suddenly had many black spots.
These black spots were moistened by the medicinal liquid and Romo's magic, and began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and actually grew into tentacles.
The tentacles were like black vines, twisting back and forth, and their bodies were covered with round fleshy suckers.
The fleshy sucker keeps squirming, seemingly exploring the world around it.
Luo Mo's scalp felt numb when he saw it. There was an extremely solid layer of source minerals underneath. How did they grow?
He thought for a moment and suddenly realized that these were creatures from another world, summoned here by Romo's ritual.
When he used the water altar to break through before, it was Romo who broke into other alien planes. Now, creatures from other planes have come to the main material world of reality.
These tentacles twisted left and right, slowly discovering Luo Mo's body, and wrapped around his calves in unison.
Luo Mo let them wrap around his lower body, and the small suction cups on the tentacles stuck tightly to his calves and thighs.
A cold and biting magic suddenly poured into his body towards the suction cup.
"Uh, ah~" Luo Mo frowned, his face was pale, and his teeth kept trembling up and down and chattering.
When Kasif saw this scene, she looked anxious, and immediately stepped forward, trying to enter the gap and rescue Romo.
She had just taken two steps closer when she saw Romo turning his head, gritting his teeth and squeezing out a few words from between his teeth: "Don't come in!"
Kashif stopped in astonishment and had to stand on the shore with both hands. He tightened his grip, his shoulders trembled slightly, and shouted in a rough voice: "Come on, Master!"
After a while, there were more and more black tentacles, almost covering Luo Mo's whole body.
At the same time, the juice inside the crack became darker and thicker, and black breath kept steaming out. The top of the crack was shrouded in a black mist, and Luo Mo's figure was looming inside.
Feeling the cold breath of the tentacles passing over his body, and the cold magical power pouring in from the flesh suckers, Luo Mo's mind gradually became chaotic.
There was a black fog before his eyes. In the fog, there are two yellow lights looming in the fog, like fog lights guiding the direction, or like the eyes of some super large beast.
After a long time, the fog gradually dissipated. Luo Mo opened his eyes wide, trying to see what the two yellow light sources were, but unfortunately, the yellow light also disappeared as the fog dissipated.
Luo Mo shuddered and looked intently, everything around him returned to its original state.
Only a few of the tentacles that originally turned the medicine pool upside down were left, and they became very short. The roots grew on the shadow essence particles and swam back and forth on the bottom of the pool.
The water level in the pool dropped significantly by half, and the medicine pool became thicker.
'Is this an exchange of energy and matter between the shadow world and reality? Are these tentacles left in the real world forever? '
Luo Mo thought secretly in his heart.
At this moment, he clearly felt that the shadow magic in his body was full as never before. On his right knee, a kind of chilly energy condensed together, which was his second magic seed.
Like the magic seed of the water element, this magic seed also stretches out countless energy tentacles to connect various organs and blood vessels in his body.
Moreover, Luo Mo also felt that shadow magic and water element magic occasionally had energy intersection. But they did not create exclusion.
Seeing this scene, Luo Mo felt something in his heart. Perhaps, he might be able to understand mixed magic skills in the future?
However, he couldn't think about it at this time because the panel in his mind was constantly beating:
[Name: Lomo Saldin]
[Age: 24]
[Dragon Knight Level: Level 1]
[Blood Sacrifice Contract: Soul-Splitting Sword]
[ Shadow Magic: 3.1]
[Magic Remaining: 98%]
[Skills]
[Shadow Touch: Level 3 (127/5000)]
[Void Walking: Level 3 (27/5000)]
[New Skill:]
[Dark Night Falls: Level 1 (1/1000)]
[Skill description: Use shadow magic to create an absolutely dark barrier. The scope of the area depends on the ability, and one can sense everything in this barrier. 】
【Void Guard: Level 1 (1/1000)】
[Skill description: Summon a tentacle from the shadow void to observe the surrounding situation. The tentacle is in shadow form and can sense enemies in the shadow. The number and duration of summons are determined by the magic value]
Looking at the introduction of these two skills, Luo Mo was immediately very satisfied.
These two skills seem to be quite strategic, and they are indeed skills that only the first-level Shadow Mage Knight can master!
With the Shadow Guard, you will no longer be afraid of anyone wandering around your manor.
As for this dark night coming, it should be regarded as a magical skill.
With this kind of enchantment, you can establish a perfect home field advantage during battle. Once an advantage is established, it is often that moment that determines the direction of the battle.
Luo Mo was thinking, dragging his wet body slowly out of the shadow rift.
Calcifer immediately went up to him and looked at him with concern.
Romo smiled, walked up to Cassif, and said, "Let you see the power of darkness."
The next moment, the area with a radius of ten meters centered on Romo instantly became dark, forming a Semi-circular black hemisphere area.
This area seemed to completely block out sunlight and become pitch black. Like thick ink that cannot be melted away.
"Master, I'm a little scared." Calcifer's voice sounded in the darkness.
"Jie Jie Jie, do you know where I am?" Luo Mo's slightly perverted voice sounded.
"I know, it's right there."
A green light flashed, followed by the sound of growing thorns.
"Uh, okay, I forgot that you can sense the natural life around you. This bullshit night is coming, it's still a bit weak for you."
