Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 603 Shadow
[Warning: A very high-risk Overlord-level unit is detected ahead, please approach with caution!!]

[Prompt: Important figures in this world have been detected, and world information is being input...]

[Entry completed, world information·character biography: Yela Sel has been updated]

A scarlet warning and a light blue text prompt appeared at the edge of Xin Lailai's vision. He looked at the cloaked woman half-kneeling in front of the throne. The Lord's Eye on his waist lit up quickly, and the cloaked woman seemed to have noticed something. She slowly stood up and turned to Xin Lailai and his group, revealing the evil ghost mask that covered her entire face. A scarlet light slowly rose in her pupils.

Om-! !

Deep darkness spread from under the feet of the cloaked woman, and cold murderous intent began to lock onto Xin Lailai. Just as the fight was about to break out, a figure suddenly passed Xin Lailai and stood between him and the cloaked woman.

"I'm sorry, Brother Black Sword, can you let me fight this battle alone?"

When Yamu's voice sounded, he was seen standing there calmly with his eyes slightly lowered. Wisps of golden lightning were emanating from his body. The aura on his body gave people an extremely dangerous feeling, like a ferocious beast that had been suppressing its animal nature and was about to break out of the cage.

"I might...need to vent a little right now."

Yamu said in a deep voice. Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai glanced at Yamu deeply, nodded, and said:

"it is good."

As soon as the words fell, Xin Lailai moved his mental power and picked up the white crystal hanging above the hall and brought it in front of himself. Then he looked at the executioner behind him, nodded, and retreated to the outside of the gate with him.

They would not ask too many questions about Yamu's request. Everyone has his own experiences. From their reactions along the way, it can be seen that Yamu obviously has deeper feelings about Baiqi Star's experience than they do, but he has been deliberately suppressing this emotion and not letting it explode.

But the content in "Saidan's Log" has obviously caused the opponent's emotions that he had been deliberately suppressing to cross a certain line. In this case, as a master of techniques, the best choice is to vent it completely in a sufficiently exhilarating battle, otherwise it will only affect his own mood and state.

As for whether it is too risky to let Yamu, who is only at the third level, fight against the fourth-level Overlord-level Dark Lady alone, if Dark Lady is an Overlord unit of other systems, it would be fine, but using the Abyss + Shadow abilities to fight against an Agent, in this case, what should really be considered is...

——It should be how long the opponent can last under the boundary thunder.

Boom!

A deafening roar was heard, and the door behind Xin Lailai and the Death Eater slammed shut. Then the ground of the entire palace shook violently, causing the little white saint hiding in the armor of the Black Knight to shrink her body subconsciously, as if she was frightened by the sudden thunder.

Time passed bit by bit, violent tremors and roars continued to be heard from behind the gate, and cracks began to appear on the walls, as if the entire palace could not hold on.

Boom——! !

Finally, it fell with a roar even louder than before, and the trembling underfoot and the endless thunder quickly stopped. A few seconds later, the silver-white door behind Xin Lailai opened with a bang, revealing the scene inside:

Sizzle! Sizzle!

In the air, wisps of light golden lightning arcs kept leaping. Looking up, I saw that the original dome of the hall had disappeared, and in its place was a huge hole that was more than 30 meters wide. Around the hole, a circle of black liquid was sticking to the dome and the surrounding walls, and slowly dripping down the walls.

A dim scarlet light poured down from the hole in the dome, illuminating the hall full of potholes. Yamu was standing calmly in the center of the hall. Long wounds deep enough to see the bone had appeared on his right arm and body, dripping with drops of golden-red blood.

In front of him, the Dark Girl, who was originally emitting cold murderous intent, was half-kneeling on the ground. The evil ghost mask on her face and most of her body were shattered. The black liquid that regenerated from the wound could not break through the blockade of the boundary thunder remaining on it, and could only repeat the cycle of destruction and regeneration.

"enough?"

Xin Lailai glanced at the dark girl who was half-kneeling in front of the throne and stretched out her only remaining arm with difficulty, as if to stop anyone from approaching the throne. She spoke to Yamu who was standing in the middle of the hall, and at the same time, a ball of light symbolizing the life crystal suture technique was brewing in her right hand.

"Just so-so."

Yamu closed his eyes and spoke, then he let out a long breath, dissipating the boundary thunder on his body surface, and allowed the life crystal suture technique released by Xin Lailai to fall on himself. The health value of only 54.3% on the status bar began to recover rapidly.

"If it's okay, I'll do it."

A cold voice sounded, and the executioner walked forward with a scabbard in his hand. After glancing at the two of them, he set his sights on the dark girl who had lost the ability to resist, and said indifferently.

"Ah."

Yamu nodded slightly, indicating that the executioner could take action directly. Upon hearing this, the executioner did not say anything more, but directly drew out the blade and walked towards the direction of the dark girl.

"Ugh...!"

A weak roar sounded, and the dark girl, who had lost most of her body, looked at the Deathbringer who was walking towards her and roared softly. The dark liquid on her body surface surged with difficulty, as if trying to stop the Deathbringer from getting closer, and then...

Zheng——! !

A pitch-black blade flashed across, followed by the sound of the blade being sheathed. The dark girl's body suddenly stiffened, and wisps of deathly energy began to escape from her chest, madly corroding her body and destroying all the filthy power that made up her flesh and blood.

"Uh huh..."

A grayish-white color began to spread from the dark girl's body surface, and the scarlet light in her pupils quickly dimmed. She seemed to realize that she was about to die. She made a weak sound in her throat, turned around with difficulty, stared at the withered skeleton sitting on the throne, and silently stretched out her arms, as if she wanted to hold something.

Wow!

The next second, the grayish-white color engulfed the dark girl's entire body. A breeze flowing in from the dome swept past, destroying the grayish-white statue in front of her and turning it into ashes on the ground. Only a scarlet treasure chest and mottled crystals remained floating there, proving what had happened here.

[Hint: Team member "Deathbringer" has killed the Overlord-class unit Yela Saier]

Xin Lailai looked at this scene without saying a word. She just walked quietly to the treasure chest, picked up the pure white crystal on the ground, put her hand on the fallen overlord treasure chest, and gently lifted it up.

No one knows why the Dark Girl insisted on returning to the throne after becoming an unclean ghost. Even in the diary of Sedaan and the memory of the Black Knight, there are very few descriptions about the 'Shadow Guardian' Yela Sel. The only thing people know is that the fifth king of the White Kingdom is the only king in the history of the White Kingdom who has never married, and from the time he was appointed crown prince until his death, his only close attendant was the taciturn Dark Girl.

[Reminder: Team leader "Black Sword" has opened the Overlord-level treasure chest, and the current team has obtained the following items]…

Shadow Ring (overlord level equipment) * 1
...

[Shadow Spirit Ring]

Origin: White Star
Quality: Overlord level
Category: Ring

Equipment requirements: Real intelligence and physical strength no less than 80 points, abnormal resistance no less than 20 points

Durability: 25/25
Equipment Effect 1, Shadow Field (Active): After activation, 1~5 points of equipment durability will be consumed immediately to expand the "Shadow Field" with a maximum radius of 100~500m. This field is a material field that can be blocked by entities, but can move with the user. Other units within the field will be affected by the "Shadow Corrosion" effect, with movement speed reduced by 50~250 points, body defense value reduced by 50~250 points, and "Shadow Damage" received increased by 10%~50%. The maximum duration is 50 seconds and the cooldown time is 5 hours.

Equipment Effect 2, Shadow Curse (Passive): After the Shadow Field is deployed, the user will continue to be eroded by the "Shadow Curse". The "Shadow Curse" is stacked by 1 layer per second, and can be stacked up to 1 to 5 layers (determined by the strength of the deployed field). Each layer of "Shadow Curse" will increase its own movement speed by 50 points, and add 50% of the damage caused by Shadow damage to the next attack, while reducing its own body defense value by 50 points, and when damaged, it will suffer an additional 50% of the damage value of Shadow damage.

*Tip: Since "Shadow Curse" is a erosion type, it can be offset by the "Erosion Immunity" type ability.

Rating: 520
Introduction: No one knows why this ring, which was supposed to be held by the Queen of the White Kingdom, appears here, just like no one knows the oath made on the battlefield.

Price: Not for sale

...

A dazzling scarlet light flashed by, and Xin Lailai looked at the black ring engraved with the emblem of the Royal Court Knight in his hand. After a moment of silence, he looked at the Death Bearer and Yamu and said:

"Does anyone of you need anything?"

From the effect point of view, [Shadow Ring] can be regarded as a general type of damage-enhancing overlord-level equipment, but its compatibility with him is too bad. Not only does it conflict with his existing equipment slots, but it also has a serious counter-relationship with his Heavy Sword Master's erosion immunity ability.

For other people, they might be able to use this extreme damage-increasing equipment by controlling their own erosion immunity ability, but for a heavy sword master like him, using the [Shadow Ring] means giving up the gain of his own sword power, and using the gain of his own sword power will cause the damage-increasing effect of the [Shadow Ring] to be greatly reduced. The compatibility of this equipment starts at 0%, if not a negative number.

"Well, I definitely can't use it. As an agent, I don't think the effect of using this thing is much better than that of a heavy sword master like you, Brother Black Sword."

Yamu shrugged and spread his hands. His problem was the same as Xin Lailai's. They were both in conflict with the [Shadow Ring]. The damage-increasing principle of this thing was to attach the power of shadow to the damage. It could use the characteristics of thunder. Not to mention the shadow power derived from the combination of filthy power and shadow power, even if the abyss energy was attached to it, it would be directly evaporated and could not deal any so-called attached damage at all.

"It's obvious that we can't afford this thing. Let's ask our iceberg beauty~!"

Yamu said jokingly, and looked at the Death Keeper beside him with Xin Lailai. After looking at the [Shadow Spirit Ring] in Xin Lailai's hand for a while, the Death Keeper spoke directly:

"Counting the Overlord equipment from before, there are ten legendary Overlord Essences, four for you and three for him."

Just as Yamu joked, she was the only one among the three people present who was compatible with the overlord-level equipment [Shadow Ring], and the degree of compatibility was at least 90% or even 100%.

After all, she was on an extremely offensive route, and although her defense was at a top-tier level, she basically relied on dodging and near-death protection in outer-tier battles. Therefore, the effect of [Shadow Ring] might be to save her life in exchange for output for others, but for her it was simply to raise her output capability to a new level.

There is also a conflict of abilities. The shadow damage attached to the world thunder damage will cause a conflict, but the extreme power of Netherworld Death Qi, which was originally born from the abyss, will only be stronger when facing the shadow power which also belongs to the abyss system.

"Well~ I welcome the good thing of picking up three Overlord Spirits for free~!"

"It's no problem on my end."

Xinlailai and Yamu spoke, obviously accepting the proposal of the executioner.

According to the rules of Paradise, every 3 Overlord Essences can be exchanged for one Overlord-level equipment with a similar comprehensive score to the Overlord Essence used for exchange, while 5 Overlord Essences can be exchanged for equipment with a score one level higher than the Overlord Essence used for exchange. Considering that the [Feather of Divine Filth] and the [Shadow Ring] at the moment are equipment that they don't need, the proposal of the Death Bearer can be said to be a standard profit for them.

By the way, Overlord Essence itself does not have quality grades and rating ranges, but there are differences in size. Therefore, as long as the average score of Overlord-level equipment exchanged for 3 Overlord Essences of the same size in Paradise is used, the Overlord Essences of different sizes can be divided into a rating grade according to the rating range of the equipment.

比如米粒大小的霸主精魄通常只能兑换1~210评分以内的装备，而黄豆大小的霸主精魄则可以兑换到210~400评分的装备，指甲盖大小的能兑换400~500评分的装备等等……执死者刚刚说的传说级档次的霸主精魄，就是指那种能兑换到相当于传说级装备评分，也就是400~500评分霸主级装备的霸主精魄。

"Give."

After confirming the ownership of the [Phantom Ring], Xin Lailai threw the black ring in his hand directly to the Death Keeper. The Death Keeper caught the [Phantom Ring] and took out four fingernail-sized Overlord Essences and threw them to Xin Lailai and Yamu, two each.

"I will pay back the remaining three within three days after my return."

The holder of the death row spoke calmly. Xin Lailai and Yamu nodded slightly but didn't say much.

Although the Overlord Essence states in the introduction that it cannot be sold, in fact this is only because they do not have enough authority. In the actual judgment of the paradise, the Overlord Essence has always been a material that can be circulated normally, so the so-called non-sale is actually very loose in the judgment.

Just like the four Overlord Spirits that the Death Master has given them now, although they have not received any prompts now because they are in an abnormal world, even if they return to paradise, in the end they will only be judged as resource allocation within the permanent team.

Not only that, if you really want to trade, you can find high-authority personnel within your respective cult to trade after you return, and buy a Overlord Essence at a price about 3 to 5 times that of equipment with the same rating. This is also one of the benefits of having the support of a top cult.

"Well, let's take a break and prepare to move on."

Finally, Xin Lailai sat down cross-legged, holding the fist-sized white crystal in his hand, and spoke.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, the two did not say anything, and all sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes, and adjusted and restored their states. Saint Xiaobai carefully held the mottled crystals that Xin Lailai sent to her with her crystal arm, and concentrated on starting a new round of purification.
