Versatile Mage: Shadow of Dimension

Chapter 47 Cursed Substance
Having learned the lesson of dying for the first time, Zhang Chenran didn't dare to go too far when he went out to hunt the undead.

It is no problem to kill some corpses tens of kilometers away from the ancient capital.

Even if the corpse minister appears, as long as it is not stuck on his face, it is fine to run away.

But in this way, the efficiency of hunting the undead will be greatly reduced.

If he didn't go deep into the territory of the undead, there would still be those mage hunters and military mages, so he didn't dare to expose the Shadowborn Legion blatantly.

In places close to the city walls of the ancient capital, most of the time he would only summon those ghost-like dark torturers.

The dark torturer has the ability similar to shadow hiding, and can hide in the first place without being discovered.

And every time he returns from an outing, he will control the number of undead crystals to no more than fifty.

This number is considered a top existence among middle-level mages.

The mages who are often active in the city wall are all curious about who this powerful yet low-key young man is.

There are only a handful of high-achieving students in the ancient capital academy who can achieve this level
Drum Tower Hunters Alliance.

There are only two or three days before the start of school, and Zhang Chenran is ready to do something big during this last holiday!
After patrolling the hunter's hall for a while, he finally found a commission that caught his attention.

Bounty mission: In the forest dozens of kilometers away from the southern city wall, there is a warrior-level monster similar to a shadow monster.

The demon not only has abilities similar to the shadow system, but also has a curse breath. Several old hunters have already fallen into the hands of the demon.

Reward amount: 500 million!

"The demon of shadows and curses is interesting." Zhang Chenran accepted the commission without even thinking about it.

There are many people who want to take on this commission. After all, the bounty amount and the hunter points that will be settled later by the alliance are a considerable amount of wealth.

Seeing that several hunters were defeated by the demon, the hunters immediately hesitated.

The forest outside the Nancheng District is the only way to go to the Qinling Mountains.

The bird monsters and some strange monsters in the Qinling Mountains occupied that forest.

Even if the forces of various mages join forces to eliminate the demons, they can't get what they want.

Although the birds and monsters in the Qinling Mountains are not as numerous as the undead, they are not an ordinary trouble to deal with.

In the end, the forces of all parties also gave up the idea of ​​eradicating the monsters in the forest, and chose a small town not far from the Qinling Mountains as their base.

.........

Zhang Chenran chose to go out in the evening, and night had already fallen when he reached the forest.

"According to the information given in the entrustment, it should be here, and you can find it by following the breath of the shadow monster." Zhang Chenran sensed the dark breath around him.

Even with the Shadow Element, which he has a special talent for, all he can sense is scattered dark auras.

These scattered dark breaths seemed to be deliberately spread around waiting for him to be fooled.

No wonder those old hunters fell under the claws of this monster.

However, the dark perception told him that the shadow monster was staring at him nearby!
Zhang Chenran just stood there quietly without moving.

He didn't move, and the shadow monster hiding in the dark also stopped and stared at him.
In the darkness, the two torturers carrying the dark scythe quietly touched the back.

They held up their sickles and swung them down towards the head of the shadow monster!
The shadow monster, which was supposed to be unable to sense them, actually swung its long tail to swat the sickle away at the critical moment!

After slapping away the terrifying scythe, the shadow monster seemed to be frightened, and pulled away from the dark torturer.

This shadow monster is as big as a leopard, with scarlet eyes, and a strange substance wrapped around its long tail.

"Dark matter? No, it should be said to be cursed matter." Zhang Chenran simply sensed it and analyzed it.

The substance contaminated by that tail does not have the strangeness of shadow, only the ultimate evil curse!

The shadow monster is not stupid, it ignored the dark torturer and went straight to Zhang Chenran's direction.

These two dark torturers are controlled by this human mage, as long as he is killed, the dark torturers will disappear.

"Actually, you can run, so you can struggle a little longer." Zhang Chenran laughed.

As soon as the words fell, a huge demon guard with a dark blade descended from the sky to intercept the shadow monster.

The shadow monster suddenly changed its trajectory to avoid the fatal blow of the dark demon guard.

Before it had time to stabilize its figure, a dark red light from the dark blood skull descended on it from behind.

The light left two shocking scars on the shadow monster.

"Aw!!!!" The shadow monster let out a painful roar.

The next moment, the roaring stopped abruptly.

The black bone demon slashed at its neck, and the life breath of the shadow monster disappeared rapidly.

"It's good to summon a mage. You don't even need to do it yourself to kill the general monster." Zhang Chenran came to the shadow monster and squatted down.

As the life of the shadow monster passes, the cursed substance lingering around its tail seems to be leaving its body and dissipating between heaven and earth.

While the cursed substance was gradually detached, the aura of this shadow monster spread in different areas within a radius of [-] meters.

At this moment, Zhang Chenran couldn't tell whether the shadow monster in front of him was its real body or not.

"It can spread the breath in different places and interfere with the enemy's perception. This cursed substance is interesting." Zhang Chenran suddenly became interested.

The strength of the Shadow Monster Beast itself is not strong, at most it is just at the Warrior level.

But the cursed substance that can confuse the enemy's perception allows it to complete silent assassinations in this forest.

If it wasn't for Zhang Chenran's dark perception to be stronger than that of normal shadow mages, he might also suffer.

Without thinking much, Zhang Chenran's eyes turned light black.

Elementary curse magic, haze of fear!

"Come here!" Zhang Chenran whispered.

The cursed substances floating around seemed to be pulled by something, and they slowly floated towards Zhang Chenran.

These substances from darkness are different from those elemental species in that they do not die with the death of their host.

Instead, it will remain in the air like essence or remnant soul.

During this time period, they can be deprived and accepted by new hosts.

Of course, the premise of depriving the substance is that the mental power can withstand the energy contained in the substance.

Even though Zhang Chenran's curse system is only at the first level and second level now, his mental power is enough to contain this cursed substance.

The power of darkness is often linked to dark contracts, and these dark contracts can be used as non-biological summoned beasts.

Once they lose their original owner, they will be accepted by a new owner.

If no one accepts them, they can only be allowed to dissipate between heaven and earth.

The dark matter on the shadow monster's tail was absorbed by Zhang Chenran, and the light black cursed pupils became a little deeper.

After absorbing it, Zhang Chenran felt that his mental perception had improved a bit.

This can confuse the mage, and the cursed substance sensed by the demon can pick up the marked person's every move.

Even the things touched by the marked person will be reflected in his mind.

Confuse the enemy's perception and know all the actions of the enemy.
This cursed substance does not have any damage effects, but it is more terrifying than any effects!
