Chapter 41 - The Mysterious Shadow
update icon Updated at 2025/4/20 1:10:12

Put the katana back inside my ring, and then I took the blasphemer out immediately afterwards.

I wielded my blade to the library in darkness, and its mist that shone with blue light points instantly covered the entire second floor of the library.

Advanced Tundra Constrainer- middle rank level magic, Tundra Devourer!

Consume 300 mana points, fill a space (maximum 500mX500mX500m) with cold air, the the enemy inside has 50% chances of being directly frozen in action, lasting 5 seconds.

The biggest use of this magic is not this, but it even has an effect on the invisible enemy, that is, as long as the area is covered with cold air, I can see every enemy in this area no matter where they are.

As soon as the magic was released, a strange red dot immediately appeared on my mini map!

"Three o'clock!"

As soon as my words fell, a series of slashes flew out quickly from Aliyah's hand, her red slashes landed on the monster's body one after another, and burned up where they were cut.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

In the monster's painful roar, we immediately ran around it towards its back.

If I remember it correctly, there is also a staff room over there, and if we are looking for the special stairs to the third floor, it could only be over there.

Now there is no time, we need to get to the upper floors before it finds us, otherwise what we have done will be nothing!

And there is not saving or reading in this world, if the mission failed, it is impossible to retry it.

After going round to the monster’s back, of course, the door to the staff room was open, and the lower half part of the monster is sticking out from inside!

I couldn't see the monster's name before, not even a question mark, which made me feel super weird. Even a humanoid would show its name, unless it was a completely uncontrolled toy humanoid, and then it wouldn't have a name.

What the heck is this thing?

But there was no time to care about this now, Aliyah and I rushed straight inside the room and then quickly towards the other door inside the room.

"Is this a infiltration? This is simply a robbery!"

I shouted to Aliyah.

"What can I do? What can I do when thing started itself automatically?"

Aliyah's speed is a lot faster than mine, so her agility is much higher than me.

"I know, I am just complaining."

Kicked open the door to the upper floor with my foot, we quickly rushed upstairs. Just in case, this time I took the lead to the door, opened the door and threw a 'Frozen Light' directly at the front, then a blue light directly froze everything in a straight line, its effect is stronger than the ice meteor many times!

That’s how an advanced magic should look like!

"Are you okay with this?"

Aliyah asked worriedly.

"What's the problem?"

"You use ice magic indiscriminately like this, how do you plan to deal with the traces left behind?"

"I naturally have prepared special items which are quite expensive to specifically eliminate the traces produced by ice magic. Don’t you worry. Watch out!"

Two black claws attacked from behind Aliyah, I pushed Aliyah away and then quickly casted a magic.

"Ice Flower!"

Dozens of blue magic circles emerged in mid-air, and in the center of the magic circles, the blue particles were instantly sucked in, and then many complete hexagonal ice crystal flowers flew out of the magic circles one after another like darts, and then the claws were torn into pieces in an instant.

So violent! I like it!

On the other side, before my ice flower could hit the other claw, a red slash pierced right through it and then broke it into two pieces.

"Well, we better hurry up and take all the books we can use before its next attack comes! Then go the next floor."

"There are at least a few million books in here, should we take them all?"

"The book with the golden label at the top of each shelf, only that one is available to learn, the ice magic is not needed, I basically have all the middle-rank ice magic, I only have one or two high-rank magics, so after that, we should go upstairs."

"What about you?"

"Of course, blocking this strange monster!"

While saying this, I swung my hand forward and a wall of ice was erected in front of me, while at the same time a loud bang came from the wall and a series of cracking sounds came from the ice wall, it seems that the impact of this charge was very powerful.

A physical attack?

With acceleration and light feather, I leap backward on the bookcase behind me, and then looked down.

Under the light of the blue ice wall, a huge black shadow embeds behind the ice wall.

The black shadow twitched and then a black hand shot out from inside the black shadow and came directly at my direction.

A shadow?

Is this magic? But a magic that attacks with physical effects? What the hell is this thing.

I turned sideways and summoned an ice shield directly on my arm.

The black claw directly grazed my ice shield and left a claw mark on the ice shield.

"So strong ......"

The next second, my ice shield directly cracked in half.

Its power can cut through the strongest ice shield? It seems that it is no longer something that can be solved by low-rank magic.

"Ice Shield Wings!"

Four brand new ice shields are unfolded behind me, just like wings.

Although they look the same as my previous ice shield, they have ten times the defensive power than the original shield!

The black shadow saw the change on my body, it paused for a moment, and then started shaking again.

But this time it was different from before!

"This guy ......"

After shaking, the black shadow slowly grew limbs.

"Oh, it actually transforms ...... Wait a minute, is this ......"

Then, the black shadow actually grew wings!

"This guy, turned into me?"

As if my shadow stood up from the ground, an all-black me stood in front of me.

"Well, it is the first time I have to fight with myself, Game begins!"
