Free Web NovelChapter 793: Chapter 383: Shadow Wolf
Thump thump thump thump...
Li Ang heard her heartbeat growing faster and faster, the rhythm of Magic Power around her also becoming stronger, as some mysterious force began to change her through the Wolf Shrine.
The shadow beneath her seemed to come alive, starting to move.
The shadow continued to expand, forming a wolf shape under the young girl.
She bit down hard, the muscles on her cheeks tensed and twitched, her canines, slightly longer than a human’s, piercing her lower lip, as if she was in great discomfort.
The wolf-shaped shadow swiftly flowed, enveloping her with Dark Attribute Power, forming a Shadow Cocoon resembling a wolf on her body surface.
Li Ang recalled his conversation with Andasu after Agni left.
"Why did you suddenly freeze just now, were you scared of the Dragon God?"
"No, I felt that when He looked at me, it was as if He could see through my Power, my blood seemed to freeze under His gaze," Andasu replied.
Why would Andasu let Agni take another look, is there something unique about the Yunxiang Race?
If there’s something special about the Yunxiang Race, it’s their worship of the Wolf God and their mastery of a unique Dark Attribute Power known as the "Power of Retribution" through unknown means.
Agni said that Light and Darkness come from beyond the heavens, could it be that the Wolf God isn’t a native of Nebis, but rather from the stars?
Li Ang considered this possibility very likely.
The Shadow Cocoon surged briefly, then was pierced by the golden light rising from within.
Is this the Light Element?
Because of possessing Orichalcum, Li Ang was now very familiar with both Light and Dark Elements.
The White Wolf bathed in the golden light, the Light Element illuminating her outline, giving the cross-legged seated young girl an aura of divinity.
But this power quickly dissipated, and Andasu returned to her original self.
She opened her hand and looked at it, and rose gracefully.
Hmm? Just that light and Li Ang could sense she was different.
"I learned some new moves, Master," the young girl said.
"Hmm, give it a try."
As Andasu approached the dummy, Li Ang also opened the panel.
She had gained two Skills [Shadow Wolf] and [Evil Destruction], becoming a complete special Profession, an [Evil Assassin].
The young girl hardly moved her steps, but she approached the dummy like a phantom, without using any Weapon, she struck with just a fist, which shot out a Shadow Blade, instantly slicing through the dummy’s Armor.
After the defense broke, the White Wolf’s attack was not over; the remaining swift punches were all entwined with darkness that engulfed light, finally collapsing and obliterating the dummy, explosively scattering its fragments everywhere.
This power was Tier Six.
Li Ang glanced at the description of Evil Destruction, it gathered Dark Elements, freely transforming into a Weapon, ultimately exploding.
In actual combat, Andasu’s attack power would be stronger because everyone has "Karma."
If the Dark Elements are a power from beyond the stars, perhaps this unique "Power of Retribution" of the Yunxiang Race relates to some concept of balance in the universe?
This is not any theory of Nebis’, it’s purely Li Ang guessing from the perspective of Earth’s knowledge.
Anyway, whether Human Race or Demon, they are tainted with so-called Karma, and the more malicious the person, the more they are tainted, and that’s when the Evil Assassin’s power becomes greater.
As for [Shadow Wolf], it’s purely a strengthening technique. Her bloodline can summon Dark Elements to strengthen herself, with this enhancement far exceeding ordinary reinforcement, already able to compete with the Spiritual level enhancements from Li Ang.
[Skill: Shadow Wolf]
[Activation Method: Each cycle of King’s Blood adds a layer, enhancing Power, Agility, and Power of Darkness, with the layering limit determined by bloodline strength]
The evil wolf lurking in the Shadows, like a pursuing Demon, a malignant sore on the bone. When hit, consume a layer of the layering limit to lessen the damage taken.
As the King’s Blood of the Yunxiang Race surged through her body, the blood was completely pumped throughout by the heart, and the more she fought, the stronger she became. This portion of Dark Power would also protect her when hit.
Of course, the best solution is naturally not to get hit, to maintain the highest level of damage output.
In Andasu’s current state, executing the Evil Assassin’s techniques under the Shadow Wolf form, facing a Human Race, even though it isn’t a pure magical attack, breaking through the defense of a Tier Seven warrior is feasible.
Li Ang observed the Spiritual Line within her body, understanding that not every use of the Wolf Shrine results in such a significant enhancement; she instantly drew out the Power due to a lack of suitable opportunities over the past decade, natural growth of her bloodline and the suppression of her inherent power by the Demon Curse. Now was the moment of release.
"Excellent, your Power is finally showing signs," Li Ang smiled at the young girl who was still sensing her Power.
Andasu was also a bit surprised and delighted, hearing Li Ang’s words, she ran over to him like a praised child, gently hugging him and bouncing twice.
"Ugh."
Nearby Alulu puffed up her cheeks, her voice causing their warm enthusiasm to pause.
Ahem, if there were no outsiders, they might have let things heat up uncontrollably.
Li Ang smiled at both of them, "Let’s go to the Magic Items room."
The Magic Items Display Room, designated for storing special materials and Equipment.
Although Li Ang had the ability to open Dimensional Rifts, his carrying capacity had limits; he didn’t intend to carry non-essential precious items constantly to leave space.
Some Magic Items or material processing also require specific environments for better effects. He didn’t plan to make Alchemy Potions, but had demands in that area, so he designated such a room.
Of course, now it also serves as Andasu’s spice preparation room.
In the Yunxiang Race, those lacking the talent to become an Evil Assassin could become an Incense Attendant.
However, this doesn’t mean Incense Attendants are inferior; their Support abilities greatly enhance their companions’ prowess, excluding their own Spiritual Activation enhancement methods, the enhancement effects described in the Yunxiang Race’s heritage already surpass Li Ang’s past experience.
With the King’s Blood, these enhancement effects become even greater.
In the heritage records, the imperial family of the Yunxiang Race is required to master both.
The Profession of an Incense Attendant focuses only on Dodge training and bloodline control training, aiming to specialize in Support positions, ensuring personal survival, and using Agility to maintain a favorable position to enrich teammates.
For the imperial family, this Dodge ability also ensures maintaining the layers of the Shadow Wolf.
The core Skills of an Incense Attendant are [Stealth Combat Skill], [Spice Preparation], and [Wolf Fragrance].
The first skill involves using movement abilities during bloodline surges, combined with effects such as Blood Fragrance paralysis and blurred vision, to achieve comprehensive evasive combat skills difficult for enemies to attack.
The second primarily revolves around spice formulas and refining methods.
The third refers to utilizing Blood Fragrance to maximize spice efficacy; simply combining various materials into a fragrance has no effect. Only by integrating with the Yunxiang Race bloodline can these magnifications be greatly elevated.
Li Ang helped Andasu with the spice apparatus, starting the flame for production.
Various materials underwent transformation amid Flame and potion, through prolonged operation and combination, and finally emitted a faint subtle aroma.
"It doesn’t seem very fragrant?" Alulu wondered.
"Hmm, the heritage says it must integrate with An’s own Power to manifest,"
Following the steps, they spent more than half a day, eventually filling six small potion bottles resembling burners.
These contained three types of fragrance, each with two bottles, but effectiveness remained unconfirmed before use.
"Where are we now?" Li Ang asked Andasu.
"Already near the Lupus Island Country."
"No hurry then, let’s explore around the island for some Demon creatures and then test its effects; meanwhile, you should practice the basic abilities of both Professions."
"Okay."
Accompanying Andasu’s Cultivation lasted for half the day, and by evening, Lupus Island Country was in sight.
Clouds like burning flames surrounded the island, Eternal Summer hadn’t pierced through the cloud head, but a squeal was already heard in the clouds.
A Flying Dragon with flaming wings burst through the cloud layer, directly descending onto the Deck.
After assessing the Tier of this Demon, Li Ang didn’t instruct the Young Girl steering to Dodge; instead, he said, "It’s time now, go and give it a try."
Andasu nodded, fetching her Fist Blade from the cabin, she sprinted towards the Demon ready to breathe fire to burn the Deck, while the Shadow had already wrapped around her calf with each graceful step.
