At that moment, Char looked into the obsidian gargoyle's eyes as if he were looking at some rare treasure. He had just been thinking that shadow creatures were not easy to obtain and that he didn't want to take the risk. Now, one had come to him. Although it was not quite the same as the life he had seen deep in the shadow world, the feeling it exuded was exactly the same. In addition, it could also control ancient shadow magic. Then the possibility of it possessing shadow will was very high. He felt a surge of joy. Was this food delivery to his door?
Perhaps it was the way he was looking at the obsidian gargoyle, but it felt a sense of contempt. After all, it had been so long. Every time the gargoyle attacked, no matter how powerful the dark wizard was, when attacked by the shadow without warning, he would feel panic and fear. But a little wizard like Char was so calm and even happy. It really made the gargoyle want to drink his blood even more. So the next moment, it sank into the shadows again.
At the same time, shadows and fog condensed into countless sharp teeth and claws on the ground, tearing towards him. It seemed as if it would tear him into countless pieces of flesh in an instant.
But Char was not at all flustered. He had already seen that the ancient shadow magic wielded by this gargoyle was not strong. It wasn't even as strong as Shadow's performance on the island of Delos. For him today, this kind of magical power no longer posed a threat. He waved his wand and chanted the runic incantation of ancient shadow magic: "Perthro!"
In a foggy moment, from his feet, a shadow also spread rapidly, entangled with those attacking "sharp teeth and claws." They couldn't get close to him. In the shadows, the figure of the gargoyle appeared again. Now, the shock was hard to conceal in its scarlet eyes. The little wizard in front of him… how did he also know ancient shadow magic? Hadn't it disappeared long ago? If it weren't for his special origin, this kind of magic would have long ceased to exist in the world.
Where did this little wizard learn this?And before it could figure out these problems, Char flicked the wand in his hand. At the same time, on the system panel, not only did the ancient shadow magic light up, but the diamond-level shadow control ability also lit up with a clear light in an instant. The shadow magic that permeated the surroundings was like ministers paying homage to an emperor; all of them obeyed Char.
Even the shadow magic surrounding the gargoyle, after he snapped his fingers, went out of its control. The gargoyle had originally wanted to retreat into the shadows, but it hit the ground hard. Obviously, it was completely confused. How could a young wizard be deprived of even his own control over shadow magic?He watched this scene, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
The ability of Shadow Control was worthy of being a diamond-level reward obtained from the Shadow-Thorn Tree. This level was high. With the status of the gargoyle, it was impossible to resist the control of the shadow.
At this time, he took a step forward and walked towards it. Scarlet light flashed in the gargoyle's eyes. Originally, the shadow magic power had been out of its control, and the ancient shadow magic could no longer be used. This had made it quite panicked.
After all, it had never encountered such a situation before. But now, the little wizard Char had actually approached him on his own initiative? Then the shadow magic would fail. It could also tear this fragile little wizard into pieces in an instant. The gargoyle immediately pounced towards him, its sharp claws looking as if they were going to rip him open.Char shook his head. "Is your IQ worrying?
It doesn't matter. If this still doesn't allow you to understand the situation clearly, then I also know a bit of boxing."
The next second, he held out a palm and caught the gargoyle's claw steadily. Then he gave it a gentle pinch. A teeth-grinding sound of "ouch" was heard, and the gargoyle's body, as hard as a statue, was revealed. Under his pinch, cracks appeared on it. This feeling of falling apart at any time immediately made the gargoyle's eyes clear. At the same time, its brain, almost as stiff as a statue, seemed to have finally remembered something. Looking at him, it was initially incredulous, then it was filled with enthusiasm and awe. In his eyes, the gargoyle bowed down to him, as pious as if it were worshiping a god.At the beginning, he wondered if this was a ploy by the gargoyle. But soon, in his spiritual eye, a clear line was observed extending from it. It was the power of faith. And it was the power of extremely devout faith, even more so than the faith that most trolls offered to him. This time, it was his turn to be stunned. What is going on?The gargoyle opened its mouth with difficulty, making a rough sound like the friction of stone statues. "The God of Shadows… descendant… my Lord—"
He listened with great effort to its intermittent words. It took a lot of guessing to figure out what it meant. Did it consider him a descendant of the God of Shadows? And it… originally, it had been an inconspicuous sculpture outside the Temple of the God of Shadows.
After the collapse of the Olympus era, the God of Shadows was nowhere to be found. On the contrary, it was only after thousands of years that it had been dug out again by some wizards and still existed in this world. It had thought that all traces of the God of Shadows had disappeared completely.
It hadn't expected to see the bloodline of the God here. As for why it was so sure, according to the gargoyle, he could control ancient shadow magic and had such a powerful body at this age. Was it possible that he was not a descendant of the Titan bloodline of the God of Shadows?His expression was a little strange. To this day, it seemed that he had been recognized by many ancient beings as a descendant of a Titan bloodline. But since the gargoyle had determined it so, it saved a lot of trouble.
Moreover, strictly speaking, this was the oldest existence that he had come into contact with so far. Even if it was just a brick outside the temple, it was still a product of the Olympus era. Maybe it could tell him some secrets about that age. However, when he asked these questions, its answer undoubtedly disappointed him. It had been built only a short time before the Olympus era had collapsed. It could be considered a product of the late era. For the secrets of those days when Olympus was at its peak, it had no idea at all. Moreover, since it had been built, it had been hanging outside the temple along with a group of gargoyles. During this period, it had been almost in a long sleep. It had no idea what was happening in the outside world, not even how the temple had collapsed. It was not clear.He shook his head somewhat disappointedly. But soon, he regained his spirits. It didn't matter if he couldn't get the secrets of the Olympus era. It didn't have much impact anyway. The key was to improve his own strength.
As long as his strength was improved enough, the secrets that were once difficult to explore might come to him on their own. That being the case, then don't worry about the Shadow Temple. Better to ask the gargoyle about the Will of Shadows.Fortunately this time, the gargoyle finally gave an answer. "The will of the shadows… erosion… tolerate…"He frowned. Before he could figure out what this meant, the gargoyle suddenly crawled into the shadow created by him. Then, he felt a strange feeling coming from the ancient shadow magic. It was like playing certain strategy games in a previous life. It felt like there was an extra controllable unit on the map.
The sound of the gargoyle, like the friction of a statue, now entered his mind much more smoothly. "My lord, this is how the shadow's will spreads. Erosion of life, falling into your shadow magic. Or plunder the remaining shadow lives and seize the shadow will within them. The more it erodes and embraces, the more the shadow expands and becomes stronger."Hearing this, he suddenly realized. It also reminded him of the scene he had seen when he was receiving the enlightenment of ancient shadow magic. The Titan who controlled shadow magic, when using it, shadows seemed to replace the entire world. It was hard to imagine how powerful the shadow will he controlled was, and how many lives had been devoured by the shadow. But now, eroding life, falling into the shadow, and increasing the shadow will through this path was naturally not feasible.
If this was made out, then he should prepare to face Dumbledore's wrath. "It seems that the only feasible way to increase the shadow will is to go to the shadow world and plunder those shadow lives." He breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had no plans to go in the short term, at least it had been confirmed that this path was feasible. It wasn't a complete failure. Not to mention, his eyes fell on the system panel.Now, because of the integration of the obsidian gargoyle, even if the shadow will it brought was not much, it was enough to make up for the missing part of his ancient shadow magic.
Only seen on the system panel, the bronze luster of the ancient shadow magic finally permeated and covered all the words. [Ancient Shadow Magic (Bronze Level)] had been promoted! At the same time, a new feeling also flowed into his mind. He took a deep breath. There was a look of surprise in his eyes. He had originally thought that the completion of the magic would only increase the power of shadow attacks. But now, he finally understood. Every kind of ancient magic was not that simple. Just like now, after truly mastering it, he realized its true power. His gaze fell on the system panel. Only behind the writings of ancient shadow magic, a new line of words extended out.
