"My Holy Light!"

In the bedroom of the mansion, Orix, who was studying the secret book of balanced light and shadow, exclaimed from time to time.

As the first "Shadow Priest" in human history, Natalie Salin's many skills shocked him, a believer who had slowly become a holy light in his years of practice of holy light.

Rebelliousness is no longer enough to express the boldness of this female bishop.

In the Secret Book, Natalie Salin discussed four ways to manipulate the power of shadows.

The first method is more ordinary, but it is the most dangerous one.

The essence of a spell caster lies in mental power. Use mental power to control the "magic power" in the body, such as the mage's arcane energy and the priest's sacred energy, to cast spells; use mental power to trigger the "magic power" in the outside world, such as the mage's induced the ubiquitous magic net energy, or the priest prays for the holy light and casts spells that consume a lot.

This method is to follow the latter, pray to the void like praying for the holy light, obtain shadow energy from the opposite side of the material universe, and cast spells.

Of course, as a mortal who grew up in an era of ignorance of the universe, Natalie did not know the existence of the void realm. The void in her mouth was just an imaginary, similar to the sacred source of the infinite holy light in the minds of the believers of Holy Light.

But Natalie claimed that every time she tried this, she would feel something terrible and noticed herself, and a crazy dark whisper would sound in her ears. She did not recommend that practitioners of the balance of light and shadow try this method, even if they protect themselves thoroughly.

Of course, she didn't know that what was responding to her was not her imaginary "vagination". Because no matter how much a mortal prayed, it was not enough to cross the boundless end and attract the attention of the Great Lord of the Void, the master of the void.

The response to her was actually the ancient gods of Azeroth. To be more precise, the Blade of the Saratas Dark Empire who bewitched her, corrupted her, and led her to the path of balance between light and shadow.

The second method is more conventional, and it was obtained by Natalie Salin in the Second War when he studied orc warlocks.

That is, like an orc warlock, he uses evil energy to bind the shadow and then casts shadow spells.

In fact, most demons except the Nasrezm clan, including those Erida in the Burning Legion who have fallen to "Manari", also used this method to cast shadow spells, using them as a supplement to common methods such as fel spells.

In this chapter, Natalie also explores the origin of the demon.

According to her own investigation, she found that all the demons came from a cosmic realm called the twisted void - Dalaran had known for a long time. The female bishop had studied it for many years before she learned about it.

She claimed that if the power of shadow and void exists on the opposite side of the material universe, then given that the orc warlock's method of using shadow spells comes from the demons, she highly suspects that the so-called twisted void is the boundary of the material universe, very close to the opposite world with dense shadow energy.

What is genius?

This is called.

The guesses are made based on existing phenomena, but all the guesses are very reasonable, almost revealing the truth of the universe.

The twisted void is the boundary of the material universe, located in the gap between the material universe and the void realm. Even Dalaran, even the high elves and the night elves empire that once shone with Azeroth.

But this method is still not what Natalie Salin suggested.

Because just like shadows, evil energy is not a power that humans can control. In order to control shadows, do we need to understand another dangerous power and lead it to the root cause? In this way, not only will the difficulty be doubled, but the risks to bear will double.

The third type is the method she admires most and practices, and it is also the path of "Shadow Priest" in the plot.

That is to use the holy light to control the shadow.

Use the holy light to protect your mind, and on the premise of ensuring your own safety, combine the first method to pray for the void, obtain the power of shadows, and use it as a supplementary means other than sacred spells.

The principle of implementation is the same as the "orc warlock" in Natalie's eyes. The latter uses evil energy to bind the shadow, while she uses holy light to check and balance.

And the fourth method is the highest level.

Directly convert the holy light into shadow and cast shadow spells.

According to Natalie Salin's statement, she herself only proposed this idea based on existing theories. But she herself was far from reaching this absolutely ideal level and could not enter the door at all. She even believed that mortals could not reach such a height.

Not to mention Natalie Salin, who created the balance of light and shadow, even Orix, who once stood at the height of the plot and observed the most fundamental setting of the entire universe from a macro perspective, thought this was impossible.

Because the principle is the transformation between light and darkness, it involves the fundamentals of the six major original powers.

It can be regarded as the most profound knowledge of the boundless end...

One of them.

Imagine that even more profound than this thing is probably the only one who creates something out of thin air and controls the two of time.

...

After reading for a while, Orix became more and more admiring Natalie.

Natalie lived in an era of backward and rigid dogmaticity. Even last year, Dalaran had just violated the ban and studied the necrotic magic because Kel Thujad repeatedly and studied the necrotic magic. He only resurrected some little mice and deprived him of the six-person parliamentary position of Kenry and expelled him from Dalaran - of course, this example is not appropriate. After all, what Mr. Ke did not conduct academic research, but was really interested in the necrotic field.

Even Dalaran is like this, let alone the Church of Holy Light.

Her maverick behavior not only violates human public order and good customs, but is also regarded as an absolute taboo within the church.

But Natalie was able to embark on a path that was unprecedented for human holy light practitioners under many obstacles.

On the one hand, under pressure from the church.

On the other hand, carrying the pressure of monitoring human society will stifle any threat to Dalaran in the cradle.

What is even more commendable is that she also pulled out a huge sect and realized that Saratas's vicious intentions were not a good ending to be with the shadow. She hid the ancient god and prepared a way out for herself in advance. Although she was assassinated by the believers who were bewitched, she left a spell that could resurrect herself...

Looking at humans, how many people can be like her, both talented and extraordinary in spirit?

Before her, which human holy light practitioner could think that the holy light and shadows depend on each other and can be transformed into each other. With the help of holy light, you can completely leverage the shadows on the opposite side, and then control the dangerous shadow power like a tightrope.

Not to mention humans, let alone the fundamental knowledge involving the power of the origin...

Looking at the history of Azeroth, it is as powerful as the trolls that once scattered all over the world, or after that, the area of ​​the night elves that cover most of the world, and their basic understanding of the six major powers is quite vague, let alone such profound knowledge.

Although Natalie's motivation for studying the balance of light and shadow came more from Saratas's bewitching, this cannot deny her talent.

In Orix's mind, he had already brought together Natalie, the recognized master of the school of protective magic, with the most talented genius in human history, the current Speaker of the Six-Party of Kenryto and the leader of Dalaran, Varian Wrien, and other figures in history who have reached an unprecedented level in the Warrior's Way.

Natalie is a genius who was born in the past, and in the words of the previous life, she was the kind of person who could establish a sect and point out a path for future generations.

...

Orix put away his admiration for the female bishop and tried to use the secret scriptures to manipulate the shadow energy in his body.

A dark and unknown shadow circled around his fingertips, turning into pure holy light, and returning to his original appearance. The transformations moved with the heart, without any obstacles, as if it was an extension of his body.

Orix's eyes suddenly opened wide, his face full of shock.

Why is this...

Directly transformed into holy light?

He clearly only read the beginning of the secret book and had not studied too much technical aspects.

According to Natalie's Secret Book of Light and Shadow Balance, this is the fourth method called "a height that mortals can never reach"!

After trying several more times, he found that all the shadow energy in his body could be perfectly controlled, and it was only a matter of time before he could completely purify himself.

And the holy light transformed by the shadow can also be used to cast sacred spells as before.

And if we look at the total amount of sacred energy that the shadow can transform into, our "mana value" is equivalent to turning over...

Almost ten times.

Thanks to various assistance such as [Zera's Grace] and [Cass's Practice Notes], [Virun's Sacred Spell Experience], etc., Orix, who has become a high-level epic power, has the mental power and "mana value" far exceeding those of the same level of holy light practitioners, and has reached the level of an ordinary legendary powerhouse.

In this way, it can be compared with some old legendary powerful men who have been famous for a long time... If compared with the Paladin who is more good at close combat and has no special skills in sacred magic and skills...

Orix found a reference for himself.

He believed that the sacred energy in his body might have exceeded his teacher Saidan Dassorhan.

Excited to finally get rid of Saratas's clamping, he silently gave himself this comment in his heart: "Okay... It turns out that I am also the kind of genius who is rare."

He really didn't know that there was a human in this era who could transform the holy light and shadow so easily like himself.

Saratas would never have expected that he had a universal "golden finger" that could resolve dangers invisibly and even replenish himself. The shadow energy originally used to corrupt him directly turned into his upgrade gift package... But soon, he frowned again.

Is the answer to this question really that I am too genius? Will it lie in the shadow energy injected into his body by Saratas? Could this be Saratas' deeper plan?

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

"Sir, Master Luo Ning from Dalaran is looking for you."

"Okay, I'll be in the living room right away." Orix responded, let go of his questions for the time being, put away the "The Way of Balance of Light and Shadow", tidied up his clothes, and opened the bedroom door.

...

A few minutes later, Orix appeared in the living room.

Luo Ning stood up to greet him, and there was also a bald middle-aged man in a priest's uniform beside him.

"I pay you the highest respect, Bishop Orix." The bald middle-aged man respected his appearance very much.

There is no way, he has been promoted to a special bishop in the Lordaeron region by Archbishop Benedictus, and his status is equivalent to that of a national diocese. Putting aside this identity, he has been repeatedly attracted by the Holy Light and did such a great thing not long ago. Any believer who sincerely believes in the Holy Light will regard him as a saint of the world and give him sincere respect.

This person's accent and appearance do not look like a local, but rather a southerner.

"Hello, two, are there anything important to come here?" Orix nodded and returned his greeting, quite confused, and mixed with some concerns.

Luo Ning...

Needless to say, there is no good thing every time I come. It either talks about bad news about the situation or brings some big news that shocks the eye.

But what he didn't expect was that Ronin would be with a priest from the Church of Holy Light.

"There's nothing else. You wanted to get Natalie Salin's writings on Shadow for research. This time, we've brought you more." Ronin replied, and summoned a stack of books sealed by magic from his own space enchantment bag, personally undoing the magic, and handing it to Orix.

When Orix got it, he saw that it seemed that it was indeed more profound than the books I sent before, well...

It's also more dangerous.
To be continued...
