Shadow magic is a unique magic that controls shadows and darkness, and it is also a very dangerous magic, both for enemies and for spellcasters.

In places where light cannot be exposed, there is a substance called shadow energy. This energy is both powerful and fragile, ubiquitous and difficult to touch. Almost few people know about shadow energy, and even most humans do not realize its existence.

However, shadow energy does exist, just as flames can make people feel hot and electric current can make people feel numb. When humans are surrounded by darkness, they often feel inexplicably scared. This is likely to be the effect of shadow energy, and shadow magic is a technique for controlling and exploiting shadow energy.

At present, human technology still cannot effectively detect and control shadow energy. In fact, humans cannot learn and use shadow magic with their own abilities. They must use the help of creatures in the shadow world to control this energy and become a shadow mage (the title of shadow mage was not invented by me, but comes from sporadic records in some ancient books. From this point of view, I can barely be considered a shadow mage.)

Therefore, summoning and enslaving a creature in the shadow world has become a ritual that every shadow mage must complete.

Although most creatures in the shadow world live in the shadow world, in our world, there are still a small number of creatures in the shadow world live in those rare and deep underground underground caves that cannot be shined with light. However, because they are too rare, they are almost impossible to find.

Fortunately, under the guidance of the King of Darkness, we can use the Shadow Birth Ritual to summon these unique beings from the Shadow Realm.

Information about this ceremony can be found in another note of my book.

Although there are many types of creatures in the shadow world, there are only two types of creatures for shadow mages, controllable and uncontrollable.

We are here to focus on those controllable creatures in the shadow world.

When these shadow creatures descend into our world, they will urgently need a host. Shadow creatures can attach to any organism (the organism must be large enough) and occupy the organism as a carrier. In this process, Shadow creatures will try to assimilate and destroy the organism's original will.

If the host's mental power is strong enough, it can resist the assimilation and control of the shadow creatures, and even in turn control and enslave the shadow creatures.

It should be noted that when the invasion of the Shadow World creatures fail, they usually choose to escape. When the Shadow World creatures enter the host body, if the host is exposed to strong light, the Shadow World creatures cannot escape. Therefore, if a shadow mage wants to control a Shadow World creature, it should immediately enter the light range after the Shadow World creatures enter the body, so that they can have enough time to enslave and control Shadow World creatures.

Ordinary shadow creatures can easily destroy the will of ordinary humans. Therefore, when choosing the shadow creatures you want to control, the shadow mage should try to choose particularly weak shadow creatures. After completing control, they can promote their growth by absorbing shadow energy. In terms of the utilization of shadow creatures, the shadow mage has two choices.

Select 1: Shadow symbiosis, Shadow Mage can choose to live with Shadow World creatures. Shadow Mage is similar to a servant, pet, and parasite in this mode. Shadow Mage can bring Shadow World creatures into the body, use Shadow Magic, or release Shadow World creatures to drive them to perform some kind of mission.

Selection 2: Dark assimilation. Shadow creatures are pure spiritual bodies, so they can be assimilated and absorbed by Shadow Mages. Therefore, Shadow Mages can also completely destroy and destroy Shadow creatures and absorb them. When a Shadow Mage completely assimilated a Shadow creature, it has some Shadow creature characteristics. From this point on, he can formally learn and use Shadow Magic.

According to my observations of my subordinates who used these two different modes, people who chose dark assimilation often have some changes in their thinking, which to a certain extent is separated from the normal human category, have weird personalities, are afraid of light, and like to stay in the darkness. Sometimes they communicate in a language that I cannot understand. It seems that all shadow mages who have dark assimilation have automatically learned this language, and they are more likely to be controlled by the King of Darkness. I doubt that they can communicate directly with the King of Darkness, but despite this, I can only allow them to stay in my team.

The people who are symbiosis of shadows have no similar problems, so I finally chose this model...

Xing Tianyu put down the book in his hand and fell into deep thought.

After more than a month of translation, he had translated all of Victor's two notes into Chinese. This process took him a lot of effort, but everything was worth it. Now, he can easily learn shadow magic based on two notes.

Judging from the information recorded in the book, Victor is still wary of the King of Darkness and has not completely defected to the King of Darkness. The Shadow Mage route he chose is also the Shadow Symbiosis route.

This is not difficult to see from his status when communicating with him, and there is indeed no abnormality.

So there is almost no need to go too far because Xing Tianyu decided to choose symbiosis of shadows instead of dark assimilation.

According to the requirements in the book, first, I chose one night, that is, now, the curtains were pulled so that the lights and starlight outside could not be exposed to the outside, and the room was pitch black. If it weren't for the dark vision brought by the soul-catching eyes, Xing Tianyu would probably not be able to see anything. In the end, he still needed a creature in the shadow world to enslave it.

With his current ability, he could not perform a summoning ceremony. Although Victor's notes recorded a shadow summoning ceremony, whether it was a massive amount of materials or the scale of the ceremony, it was something Xing Tianyu could not do at present. (When he saw this, Xing Tianyu finally realized the magic of the Book of Another World. He could summon things from various planes with only some spells and patterns. It was not the same level concept as the summoning ceremony recorded in this notebook.)

So he could only use the ready-made shadow creatures, and the three jars he brought back from the base came in handy now.

According to the information recorded in the notes, Victor once took his men and other dark priests to perform many Shadow Birth rituals. Each ritual summons a large number of controllable Shadow Borrowing creatures and a small number of uncontrollable Shadow Borrowing creatures. These uncontrollable Shadow Borrowing creatures are generally captured and locked in containers and used as biological weapons. Those controllable Shadow Borrowing creatures will also be captured and locked into containers. As members of the Dark Abyss Clan, they are called Shadow Mage's consumables.

Xing Tianyu can infer from this that the silver jar in these three jars should be the so-called biological weapons, and it is very likely that they are monsters like the big shadow monster he encountered in Yequan Town.

The two stainless steel jars should be ordinary controllable shadow creatures. They can be put into the safe by Victor. The strength of the two shadow creatures should not be too weak. However, he is still very confident in his mental power. As long as it is not a boss-level shadow creature, he should be able to deal with it. However, when he thinks of those who are controlled by shadow creatures, he is still a little worried. But now is not the time to hesitate, he must master this power.

While thinking, he turned off the light and unscrewed the can in his hand in the dark night.

Suddenly, a ball of black mist that was deeper than the darkness around him gushed out, like ink dripping into the sea water, a ball of one meter in diameter. The black mist floated in the air for a while, and then immediately rushed towards him.

Xing Tianyu did not hide, and let the black mist penetrate into his body. He felt an inexplicable chill spreading in his body. He suddenly turned on the light switch.

Now, this shadow creature is completely trapped in his body.

The creature in the shadow world seemed to feel the terrifying light outside, which made it more eager to occupy the shell.

Xing Tianyu looked in front of him, and his mind buzzed. He could feel the cold chill that was traumatizing his body, drilling into his brain, trying to destroy his will and assimilate his spirit.

Humph, you're thinking too much. Xing Tianyu said to the will in his mind, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. All his mental power was activated, and he fought against the invisible enemy in his mind.

His power is so strong that his mental power of more than 700 is far beyond the scope of ordinary people, so that the power in his mind is defeated instantly. He could feel that the will rushing left and right in his sea of ​​consciousness, trying to find a way out, but his room is now brightly found by the lights, and the will cannot escape from his body. Xing Tianyu took advantage of the victory and forced the will into a small corner. With just one thought, he could completely expel the will from his body.

At this time, in his mind, he could finally feel the emotions of the creature in the shadow world, anger, fear, and - begging.

Haha, do you know you are afraid? Then now, surrender to me. He communicates with the creature in the shadow world on the spiritual level. This communication is extremely subtle and accurate, without any language, and is completely emotional communication. Xing Tianyu could feel the entanglement of the will, but when facing destruction, he was still enslaved. The instinct of the creature finally made the will choose the latter.

Xing Tianyu felt relieved. He felt that the creature in the shadow world had completely opened his defense to him. His spirit was like a picture, half of which was completely visible in front of him. It was a posture of complete surrender, and there was no room for betrayal.

Haha, that's right. Following me will have your benefits.

Xing Tianyu felt a touch in his spirit. He had developed some subtle connection with the shadow creatures in his body, just like an invisible hand.

He made sure that the ceremony had been successful, and then he turned off the lights.

The creature in the shadow world surged out of his body, presenting a dark cloud-like thing. He felt its existence and soon realized that his will could control it.

Under the control of Xing Tianyu's thoughts, this shadow creature turned into a kitten, then a puppy, and then a snake, extremely obedient.

Haha, it’s really interesting. Xing Tianyu thought to himself, then the next thing is to use it to use shadow magic.
Chapter completed!
