Deconstruction wizard

Li Nuo gave an order, and the Rock Spirit raised his fists of rock and slapped them on the ground.

Dark gray rock layers emerged on the ground, blocking the entrance of the tunnel drilled by the Earth-Drilling Mechanical Spirit.

The dark wind in the narrow space immediately dissipated, and the noise made by the shadow cocoon also became much lighter.

Li Nuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but did not take it lightly.

He commanded the rock spirit to build more rock layers, firmly sealing the front, rear, left, right, top and bottom.

An airtight closed space soon surrounded Li Nuo and the Spirit of Rock.

Li Nuo listened intently.

The noise was barely audible, and it didn't move any further towards me.

He nodded secretly, knowing that his on-the-spot operation had worked successfully.

Li Nuo gave the "Stay Alert" command to the Rock Spirit and called up the system interface in his mind.

【system information:】

[You consumed 210 million points of energy and launched a harmless deconstruction of the "Shadow Chrysalis"! 】

[Harmless deconstruction succeeded! 】

[You have obtained the panel information of "Shadow Chrysalis": ]

[Name] Shadow Chrysalis Cocoon

【Type】Shadow creature

【Battle Level】

[Land] Forecast is Level 45

[Underwater] predicted to be level 10

【characteristic】

1. Shadow anomaly
The concept of living beings includes living people, undead, beasts, monsters, vegetation, and other individuals existing in various life forms.

Shadow creatures obtain shadow energy by devouring and decomposing living creatures.

Shadow creatures like creatures rich in death energy, natural energy, rebirth magic, and blood magic.

They are not very interested in creatures rich in lightning, water, wind, and rock and earth energy. If they have no choice, they generally will not devour such creatures.

Fire energy, clean light magic power, silent magic power, and all other magical energy with spell-breaking effects are disgusted by shadow creatures.

2. Lightless rebirth:
The shadow cocoon will turn into shadow fragments after death and be reborn in a specific lightless zone.

A unique shadow circle defines the place where the shadow cocoon will be reborn.

3. Shadow recoil:

When casting a spell on a shadow creature, the shadow creature will automatically apply a "shadow mind blast" that contains negative emotions to the source of the spell.

If the spellcasting cannot be terminated in time, or if the "Psychic Shield" is not used to resist the "Shadow Psychic Shock", then the "Shadow Psychic Shock" may breed potential negative desires, or even a negative personality.

4. Shadow identity:
Physical resistance is at least 90%.

Immune to natural, wind, water, and rock and earth energy damage.

Lightning, fire energy damage resistance is -10%.

Resistance to magical energy with spell-breaking effects is 50%.

The absorption rate of shadow energy damage is 100%, that is, all offensive shadow spells will have a healing effect on the shadow cocoon, rather than damage it.

5.Be invisible
Shadow creatures can perfectly cover up their own energy fluctuations.

Only detection methods specifically targeting shadow energy can detect the existence of shadow creatures.

【Skill】
-
Active skills

Devouring creatures:

Select a target whose level is no more than 40, devour it, and continue to decompose the target into shadow energy for the next 24 hours.

Shadow Net:

Capture your target with a magical net woven from shadow energy.In lightless and low-light areas, the hit rate of the net is extremely high, and it will definitely be effective when targeting targets not exceeding level 40.

When the shadow net is used to deal with creatures, it can be forcibly dragged into the body.When dealing with non-living targets, use shadow energy to quickly ablate the target.

Shadow Shift:

Consumes the shadow energy in the body, freely shuttles in the lightless zone, and is immune to physical damage and most control effects.In Twilight Zones, this ability has a chance to fail.In bright light environments, this skill has a greater chance of failure.

Shadow Mind Blast:

Inflict psychological negative emotions on the target, fostering the target's desires and dark personality.
-
Passive skill

Creature sniffing:

Automatically senses surrounding creatures, with a sensing range of 600 meters.This passive skill ignores terrain.

Sense of murderous intent:
Automatically senses murderous intent, with a sensing range of 600 meters.After sensing murderous intent, the Shadow Chrysalis will immediately activate "Shadow Transfer".

(other skills omitted)

【weakness】

Blocking Action Level Weaknesses:
A strong light environment can effectively limit the mobility of shadow pupae.

Critical Hit Level Weaknesses:

Magic energy, thunder, and fire energy with spell-breaking effects can effectively kill shadow cocoons.

One-hit kill level weakness:
Lightning, fire, and silent spells whose magic power exceeds the shadow chrysalis level * 10000 points can instantly kill the shadow chrysalis.

【Precautions】

caution!
Your psychic spells are only immune to their own spell backlash, not the Shadow Chrysalis' "shadow backlash".Please make sure "Psychic Shield" is activated to avoid being affected by "Shadow Recoil".

...

The deconstruction results are as detailed as ever.

From the top to the bottom, Li Nuo probably knew why Louisa and other hired wizards failed to find any traces of the underground monsters.

The reason is nothing more than the skill combination of "Shadow Shift" and "Killing Sense".

As soon as it senses murderous intent, the Shadow Chrysalis will activate "Shadow Transfer" and instantly move away from the wizard.

It is almost impossible to stop the shadow chrysalis cocoon unless the strong light is set in advance.

In addition, the "invisibility" characteristic of shadow creatures is also a headache for wizards.

Shadow, that is, shadow.

The biggest feature of shadow creatures is that they are silent.

They can perfectly mask their own energy fluctuations.

Within Li Nuo's energy perception range, there are only geotechnical energy fluctuations caused by soil and rocks in all directions.

If he hadn't heard the noise made by the shadow cocoon, it would have been impossible to detect the other party's existence.

This is where shadow creatures become a headache.

Li Nuo's eyes swept over the "Weaknesses" column.

Against shadow creatures, it's best to use Silent Magic, Fire, and Thunder energy.

Skillful.

Li Nuo has these three types of magical energy.

Working with fire and lightning energy is somewhat dangerous in confined underground spaces.

Silent Magic is the right choice.

Li Nuo reached into his magic pocket and took out his "Sword of Silence".

As he was promoted from the first to the third level, the "Sword of Silence" also grew from a short dagger to a dagger.

Li Nuo held the "Sword of Silence" in his right hand, mobilized the magic power of silence in his magic heart, and poured it into the hilt of the sword.

Using the "Sword of Silence" as a medium, Li Nuo released the "Magic Shield" again.

Only this time, the energy used in the shield changed from rock and earth energy to silent magic.

The original "rock shield" turned into brown light spots and dissipated, replaced by gray magic mist.

The thin mist clung to Li Nuo's skin, forming a "silent shield" with weak physical resistance but extremely high spell resistance.

After confirming that the Shadow Chrysalis was not an invincible enemy, Li Nuo planned to fight head-on.

Killing the shadow chrysalis is secondary. Li Nuo mainly wants to see where the shadow chrysalis will be reborn.

Didn’t it say so on the deconstructed panel:
There is a shadow circle that delineates the rebirth location of the shadow chrysalis.

Li Nuo wanted to find this shadow circle and try to deconstruct it.

It would be great if you could get a method to summon and control the Shadow Chrysalis.

With the goal of "finding the shadow circle" and approaching the shadow cocoon, will it trigger the shadow cocoon's "murderous intent perception"?

Li Nuo was very curious about the answer to this question.

He erased all thoughts about "killing the Shadow Chrysalis" from his mind and gave the Stone Spirit the order to dig a tunnel.

"bang bang bang..."

The Stone Spirit waved his fists and knocked on the floor beneath his feet.

Every punch it hits will form an arc-shaped dent.

After three consecutive rounds, the vertical channel can extend downward for about one meter.

The regular knocking sound was transmitted along the soil and rocks to a depth of a hundred meters, successfully attracting the attention of the shadow pupa cocoon.

"Swiss, swiss, swiss, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!"

The familiar noise appeared in my ears again, but this time, the noise was significantly louder.

Perhaps due to the "Silent Shield", Shadow Chrysalis's reaction was very violent.

Li Nuo calmed down and suppressed the discomfort caused by the noise.

The good news is that instead of deliberately thinking about killing the shadow chrysalis, you really deliberately avoid the opponent's "killing perception".

The group of shadow cocoons did not activate "Shadow Transfer" to stay away from Li Nuo because of his approach.

"Kang ku ku ku ku..."

The Stone Spirit has no mind and is a pure tool, unaffected by noise.

After nearly a minute of continuous high-intensity punches, there was a crisp sound of the stone slab breaking, and the ceiling above the shadow cocoon was shattered by the spirit of the rock.

"Crash..."

Debris fell, and smoke and dust drifted.

"Swiss, swiss, swiss, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!"

Several shadow cocoons screamed crazily in unison, and the human faces inside them emerged like waves.Li Nuo holds the "Sword of Silence" and uses it as a magic wand.

He bent his elbow and swung his arm, the tip of the sword drew a semicircle in front of him, and used the "Silent Sword Skill" that he had just learned.

The silent magic power reserve in the magic viscera dropped a bit, and the arc of light filled with gray light flew out from the tip of the sword, and rushed towards the nearest shadow pupa cocoon.

"Pfft."

Before the shadow chrysalis had time to spit out the "Shadow Catching Net", it was cut off by the gray arc of light and exploded like a burst bubble, splattering large amounts of black mucus.

This slime isn’t really “slime.”

They are actually the bodies of dead shadow chrysalis cocoons, made of shadow energy and the remains of living things.

Li Nuo raised his hand and threw out a dozen "tracking markers", which landed on the mucus of the shadow cocoon.

At the moment when the "Tracking Marker" was installed, the slime scattered on the ground turned into black smoke and penetrated into the ground, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

【system information:】

[The "Tracking Marker" x15 you just placed has been destroyed by shadow energy. 】

"Huh? My mark is gone so quickly?"

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to look at the only three shadow cocoons left on the scene.

Just as he was about to wave out the gray arc of light, he saw the three shadow cocoons twitching and turning into black smoke and drilling into the ground.

"Ah, that's bad. I accidentally felt murderous."

Li Nuo patted his forehead lightly and sighed to himself.

After his "Tracking Mark" was destroyed, he immediately had the idea to kill another Shadow Chrysalis and try to use the "Tracking Mark" to find the shadow circle again.

It was because of such a subconscious thought that Shadow Chrysalis sensed murderous intent and used "Shadow Transfer" to escape.

Li Nuo smiled and shook his head, a little helpless.

No way, this was his instinctive reaction.

It might take him a few more attempts before he could restrain his subconscious desire to kill.

Li Nuo suppressed his regrets, came to the place where the shadow cocoon disappeared, and leaned over to check.

There are a total of four shadow cocoons before and after. When they turn into black smoke, they all move downward.

Li Nuo can be sure of this.

He took out five earth-boring mechanical spirits and controlled them to dig holes downward from five different directions.

The movement speed of the earth-burrowing mechanical spirit is faster than that of the rock spirit.

About 3 minutes later, the fastest earth-burrowing machine arrived 150 meters below.

"Shushasha... Kaka Kaka..."

I'm coming.

The noise of the shadow chrysalis returns.

Li Nuo stopped controlling the other four earth-burrowing mechanical spirits and focused on controlling the one that heard the noise.

He followed the sound and directed the ground-drilling mechanical spirit to move forward.

"Whoa~"

The drill bit emptied out, and the round wall gap appeared in the magical vision.

Also appearing together were three shadowy cocoons that shimmered with faint fluorescence.

Li Nuo was slightly excited for half a second.

He looked back at the Stone Spirit and thought quickly in his mind.

"With the "Psychic Shield" and "Silent Shield", the battle of Shadow Chrysalis is not difficult.In this case, the rock spirit can rest for now. "

Li Nuo snapped his fingers and released the "Spirit of Rock Summoning".

He used "Death Flight" and turned into a long and thin black light belt, which penetrated into the narrow round hole left by the earth-burrowing machine spirit.

Traveling through the circular pipe all the way, Li Nuo soon came to the shadow chrysalis cocoon.

At this time, the earth-burrowing mechanical spirit has been completely destroyed by the shadow chrysalis cocoon.

It turned into a puddle of thick black slurry and piled up on the ground. Black bubbles appeared on the surface and emitted a fishy smell.

When Li Nuo arrived, a shadow chrysalis sucked the thick liquid into his body.

Without saying a word, Li Nuo raised his hand and swung a sword.

Silent magic power spewed out from the tip of the sword, forming a gray arc-shaped out-of-body magic power wave, which quickly passed through the body of the shadow chrysalis cocoon.

Li Nuo found the right angle this time and swept the two shadow cocoons at once with a gray arc of light.

"Puff...Puff..."

Two cracking sounds sounded at the same time, and black mucus splashed in all directions.

Li Nuo did not throw out the "Tracking Mark", but held his left hand in front of him and used the geotechnical spell that he had had for a long time but had not used much.

"Rock Confinement"!
Earthy brown rock and earth energy appeared out of thin air near the black slime, quickly weaving a rock cage that hindered transmission and movement.

"bang bang bang..."

There were several crisp sounds in succession, and the fence of the rock cage connected with the door frame, forming a closed space that blocked all escape routes for the black slime.

The black slime that should have turned into black mist and penetrated the ground was now scurrying around in the rock cage like a headless fly.

"Very well, now I've caught your body fragments."

Li Nuo smiled secretly in his heart, and threw the thought "I want to kill you" towards the only remaining shadow cocoon on the scene.

It wasn't until this moment that Li Nuo had the intention to kill.

Doing so successfully triggered "Killing Sense".

The shadow cocoon turned into smoke and disappeared from Li Nuo's eyes.

There was no one around Li Nuo that could pose a threat to him.

Li Nuo looked intently at the rock cage.

The black slime in the cage maintained a restless posture, but it was still unable to break through the blockade of the rock cage.

The information fed back by the deconstruction technique shows that the so-called "body fragments" are actually the corpses of shadow monsters, which can be detonated by the "evil explosion technique".

Li Nuo nodded with satisfaction, knowing that he had an extremely powerful trump card.

He took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Professor Erica asking some questions.

Shadow spells, shadow creatures, shadow magic props, anything related to "shadow" are considered dangerous existences in the Unas Ring.

According to statistics from the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department, at least 10 of the 5 wizard criminals causing trouble in Cahir Continent have mastered shadow magic.

It has almost become the truth in the world of shadow magic to become a wizard criminal due to the negative emotions of shadow magic.

"Silent Girl" should have some experience in dealing with shadow magic.

Li Nuo was writing to Erica just to ask how he could use the body fragments of shadow creatures to find the location of the shadow circle.

Judging from the current situation, the shadow circle was probably set up by a wizard criminal.

After sending the letter, Li Nuo came to the rock cage, observing the black slime inside, and waiting for a reply.

"Shushasha... Kaka Kaka..."

There was another noise.

Li Nuo listened carefully and saw that it was not the movement in the rock cage.

He looked down at his feet, where the sound came from.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish."

The noise is much clearer, getting closer and closer, coming in the spirit of Li Nuo.

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and said silently in his heart, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you."

Strong murderous intention bloomed in Li Nuo's heart.

But the noise didn't disappear, and instead accelerated towards Li Nuo.

"Swiss, swiss, swiss, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!"

The noise suddenly amplified, as if it was close to my ears!

Li Nuo's heart skipped a beat and the alarm sounded, knowing that something had changed.

It's likely not the timid shadow chrysalis that came, but other shadow creatures!

Li Nuo guessed it right!
Several black shadows jumped out from the ground like powerful cheetahs and stopped steadily near Li Nuo, forming an encirclement.

"Swiss, swiss, swish!! Kakakaka!!"

The almost crazy noise exploded in the underground space, coming from these monsters.

"What is this again??"

Li Nuo held the "Sword of Silence" in his right hand, and took out a magic orb in his left hand, holding it in the palm of his hand.

Bright thunder and lightning light scattered from the magic orb, illuminating the entire underground space.

The monster's ferocious appearance appeared before Li Nuo's eyes.

This is a multi-legged monster like a centipede. It is similar in size to a skinny wilderness jackal. It is completely black and its body is composed of rich shadow energy.

On their backs, a row of spikes protrudes upward from the spine, and blackened heads hang on the spikes.

These heads have painful expressions, their eyes are black, and their mouths are open to roar, as if they will never be able to sleep.

This horrific scene made Li Nuo's scalp tingle slightly.

He immediately activated his deconstruction technique.

【system information:】

[You consume 260 million energy points to launch harmless deconstruction of "Crawling Fear". 】

“Crawling Fear…”

Li Nuo quickly scanned the enemy's panel information.

Crawling Fear has "Shadow Shift", but does not have "Killing Sense".

Moreover, their combat level in the land environment has reached level 50, which is higher than that of Shadow Pupa Cocoons.

This all shows that the crawling terror is a shadow creature that prefers fighting, rather than focusing on devouring and decomposing living things like the shadow chrysalis.

"It seems that the shadow creatures and the shadow magic array that I am tracking form a complete system. There is a clear division of labor between the shadow creatures and each performs its own duties. Is this man-made or is it formed spontaneously by the shadow creatures? "

Li Nuo calmed down and faced the terrifying nightmare in front of him.

Perhaps out of fear of the silent magic in him, the five crawling fears surrounding him did not attack immediately. (End of chapter)
