Age of Adepts

This dark witch has an obvious hostility towards herself!

And if the guess was right, I'm afraid that the other party's main purpose of participating in this mission was not for any other reason, but precisely to kill themselves.

Originally, Grim was only slightly suspicious of this, but after the last battle, although the dark witch was invisible and did not show up on the battlefield, Grim could clearly perceive the strong killing intent of the other party.

Probably the Dark Witch Shani would never have imagined that the reason Grim had put herself in danger on the battlefield was to tease and assess her true intentions.

The moment Grim was in danger, the Dark Witch's unmistakable surging killing intent was like a mountain fire in the dark night, impossible to ignore.

Therefore, Grim didn't mind taking a slight detour to bring the squad members to this Maplewood town.

Using the closed and remote terrain here to solve a little personal problem!

With that in mind, Grim gently pushed away the plate in front of him and smiled, "I've had my fill, so you two continue to enjoy your meal here! I want to go take a break..."

Qiu Lisa spread a smile.

"How about I lend you these two slaves for a night first? They're not as talented, but they still have good posture and figure!"

Saying that, the two twins also walked to Grim's side and smiled sweetly and lightly at the same time.

However, even though they were smiling, their eyes were closed tightly, which looked a little creepy.

Grim shook his head slightly, and threw down a sentence of "I hate toys" and left straight away.

Qiu Lisa sighed softly and said helplessly, "Yes, although these toys look quite good, they break as soon as they are used, just like a weak foam person.......ahem......right, Lord Holly, are you interested in them? What about taking one away?"

The Holly Wizard's brow furrowed and he said in an evil manner, "Qiu Lisa, stop playing that silly trick of yours. Who doesn't know that these guys have now become your puppets. Wouldn't bringing them into the room be the same as bringing them into the room with you, a guy who is neither male nor female in...hmmm, don't bother me, we're just partners, out of this bit, no one wants to have any contact with a pervert like you!"

With that said, the Holly Witch also angrily pushed away the plate of food and went up to the second floor to find a room to rest on her own.

After everyone had left, only then did a look of grim ferocity appear on the face of Qiu Lisa who was left alone in the restaurant. She shatteredly and viciously cut the lamb rib steak in front of her, and looking at that expression, it seemed like she was treating it as an object of some extreme disgust and hatred.

And in the dining room, the guest room, and the kitchen, more than a dozen servants were busy, running water racks to bring up all sorts of food, serving the emperor as wholeheartedly as if he or she were serving him or her.

Yet no matter how hurried and busy he or she was, those tightly closed eyes never opened!

Up on the second floor, what was shown to Grim were two distinctly different corridors, one left and one right.

The one on the left was dark and devoid of any light, while the one on the right was brightly lit, illuminating every corner of the corridor in a slim way.

Following the almost imperceptible scent of energy in the air, Grim could clearly determine that the dark witch, Shani, had gone to the second bedroom on the left. The candle in the left porch was also blown out by her, clearly not liking the later disturbing her peace and quiet.

So Grim did not hesitate to turn to the left, and on the other side of the corridor directly opposite the second bedroom, pushed open the door gently and went in.

A small noble in a remote area of the countryside, and how high could the furnishings and décor of his home be.

A simple table and chairs, a luxurious bed, and furniture furnishings that were filled with the flamboyant air of a thuggish man....

Grim stepped into it, and after a brief glance around the house, he also came to the bed and turned over to lie on it, quietly closing his eyes to rest.

The town was close to the mountains, and the night wind was extraordinarily fierce.

The gale whistles, and large groups of water mist is torn into wisps of white mist, lingering in the town, making the place seem unusually quiet and desolate.

In the past, the town's inhabitants would not sleep so early, and the place would still be somewhat popular.

But today, within the town, except for a small two-story building that was still brilliantly lit, the rest of the location had fallen into darkness, and one could hardly perceive any warmth or vitality, making it daunting.

And just inside a house on the edge of the town, a dark shadow was suspended in the center of the cabin and was slowly expanding.

When this shadow first appeared, it was no more than the size of a thumb, but with the passage of time, it grew larger and larger, then collapsed inward, turning into a two-meter diameter, dark and deep strange shadow passage.

Looking at the strange vortex that rotated counter-clockwise inside the shadow, and the intense darkness that slowly permeated from the depths of the shadow, one couldn't help but wonder what kind of terrifying place the vortex was leading to!

As the darkness inside the cabin grew thicker, the place became increasingly dim and murky.

Finally, as the shadows quickly converged together, a strange creature with the appearance of a black cheetah condensed out of the void.

It had a condensed, smooth, tactile skin on the outside, but it always gave a sense of ethereal unreality. The parts of the body's surface that were in contact with the air still had wisps of black mist dispersing, as if the body of this dark foreign beast was condensed from an insubstantial shadow substance.

Woodland, the dark foreign beast's eyes suddenly lit up with two clusters of deep red mane at the location of its eyes, also causing the light in the cabin to inexplicably darken a little more.

Shadow Leopard... This was a typical shadow creature that usually only existed in the Shadow Realm, and they were almost rarely seen in the Bit World.

Their base strength was only 2nd rank beginner, but with all sorts of weird and hard to defend shadow travel methods, even those 2nd rank advanced sorcerers wouldn't want to touch them.

And what was even more frightening was that this Shadow Leopard was a pack creature!

After the first Shadow Leopard appeared, that Shadow Vortex didn't stop functioning, but continued to spew out its intense dark power. Soon, the second Shadow Leopard condensed out, followed by the third and fourth....

The hut was not large, even for the tiger-sized Shadow Leopard, and it was a little small.

So when the Shadow Leopards got too close to their companions, they even erupted into unpredictable conflicts and low roars of shock. But the good thing is that they also know that they are powerful, so they are trying to restrain their power, not to let any of the shadow breath to spread outside the hut.

When the number of Shadow Leopards reached ten, the Shadow Vortex operated somewhat arduously and, with a slight shudder, spat out a humanoid shadow creature.

As soon as this humanoid shadow creature appeared, it caused a commotion in the shadow leopard group.

All the Shadow Leopards no longer cared about their personal privacy and crowded together, giving each other a huge enough space to move around.

This humanoid shadow creature couldn't see a single eyebrow or face at all, and his entire face was pitch black. As he stood there, countless shadow substances in the surrounding void tumbled out like boiling water, coalescing on his body to form a strange armor that was as oily and full of texture as black diamonds.

Unlike the Shadow Panther's half-solid, half-empty body, the humanoid shadow creature's body was already substantial and even hard enough to rival most of the material world's steel.

And more importantly, when this humanoid shadow creature opened its eyes, what was emanating from it was not a chaotic and confused light, but a light of intelligence that was filled with agility and depth.

And this, however, was unique to intelligent creatures!

As soon as the humanoid shadow creature appeared, it strode to the crude wooden window of the cabin, examining the small, brilliantly lit building in the darkness through a narrow gap.

The target was there, and the order passed by the master was to hunker down for the time being.

Thus, the humanoid shadow creature casually grabbed his long and narrow combat knife from the empty shadows, stuck a hand on the floor at his side, and began to wait in silence.

As for the energy scent emanating from its body, it had reached the 3rd rank!

The Maplewood Town, shrouded in darkness, was silent and profound.

But in countless places that were inaccessible to the sight, there were hundreds of shadow vortexes like this. And they were still in constant operation at all times, teleporting in an astonishing number of shadow legions from the distant shadow realm.

These shadow creatures, whose minimum combat power was 2nd rank, lurked carefully and cautiously in one area, silently waiting for a message from the main messenger. And with the passage of time, the number of elites with strengths as high as rank 3 among the Shadow Legion was increasing.

There were even terrifying Phantom Shadows with ranks as high as rank 4 in one or two regions.

These phantoms originally belonged to sad undead creatures, but after falling to the shadow realm for some reason, they were forcibly changed by the thick, almost materialized shadow substance, and became these strange creatures that were half-dead and half-shadow.

The town at night was still so silent.

But beneath this silence hides an impending storm of death!

Countless ghostly shadows of pupils appeared in the darkness, and a cold and frightening killing intent spread over the town. The entire town seemed to have moved into the terrifying realm of shadows, not only the moonlight in the sky could not penetrate, even the only light burning in the town became dim, somewhat like the phosphorus fire that drifted from the bones of the dead.

Not only could it not give anyone a hint of warmth, it would instead bring a deep chill that would soak into one's bones!

The Holly Wizard tramped up the creaking stairs to the second floor, shook his head and laughed at the clear and distinct corridor before him as he headed to the right and casually found the room furthest to the edge and slammed the door shut.

"Damn, that's the only bad thing about going out, I can't even find a place to sleep in peace. Well, whoever it is, you guys can make as much noise as you want, if it bothers me, I'll be rude!"

After muttering a whole lot of words at the roof, Holly only threw herself into the big bed with great effort.

Within the restaurant on the first floor, Qiu Lisa, who was still drinking and eating furiously, suddenly felt a cold shiver of excitement, and suddenly felt a strange chill.

"Rush rush rush... what rush, can't even eat a meal in peace!"

Lisa Qiu's mouth was stuffed with food, mumbling vaguely as she faithfully waved out the candles on the table.

With the disappearance of the last glimmer of light within the town, the entire world suddenly came to life....
