Wizard: Gou adds a little bit of hunting in the era of steam

Chapter 417: Shadow versus Black Shadow, who is weaker?

"Hip-hop haha..."

"Kill, kill, kill..."

"All the 'living' must die, for eternity!"

Countless black shadows emerged from the "dark pool" that obscured the sky, like demons crawling out of the abyss, carrying endless and terrifying murderous intent and malice, wanting to tear everyone to pieces and devour them.

Salvatore and others followed slowly, and occasionally when the research reached a certain stage, they would pick out a few "lucky ones" from the group of black shadows to use for research on consumables.

"Water element, invalid."

"Fire element, effective."

"Space magic, very effective!"

"Blood Spirit... has no effect..."

"Undead spells are effective, but only for certain spells. All bone spells are ineffective!"

Under such conditions, it is impossible for wizards to analyze the overall composition and transformation origin of the shadow creatures from the inside out. They can only try to use various methods to kill the shadow creatures regardless of the "cost", hoping to find the fastest way to kill them.

"enough!"

Salvatore looked at the sky that was gradually turning white in the distance. It was almost dawn, and the dark shadows were still moving towards the southern continent.

"According to estimates, they will soon reach some islands in the southern continent."

Alicia stopped studying and frowned, "Legend of Sarai, are we just going to watch this?"

"Ah."

Salvatore nodded, his eyes reflecting the scene in the distance. Within the range of his spiritual perception, he could feel the dense black shadows like locusts, which were so terrifying that it made people despair.

"Let the Earth Church and the School of Shadows worry about the crisis in the southern continent. Our goal is to try to find out the cause of the change in the Dark Pool. Don't do anything else."

"But," Alicia Mejia looked at the 'dark pool' not far away that was constantly gushing black seawater and said hesitantly:
"Now, how should we explore there?"

"I think it's best not to go in," Luciano agreed, "Why not let my summons go in and check it out?"

"Just to test the effect of the 'dark pool' on undead creatures."

The other wizards agreed.

Salvatore also nodded and said, "It's good to give it a try."

The horrific scene there is daunting even just looking at it.

Even he, a wizard known as the "first legendary wizard under demigod", still could not make up his mind to investigate deeper into the "dark pool".

As he spoke, Luciano summoned a ghoul and a wraith.

"Just an immortal and a phantom. Hopefully they can bring some good news."

"Ho ho."

"Well!"

Upon receiving the order, the ghouls and ghosts turned around and rushed towards the "Dark Pool", exploring straight down against the black sea water.

Luciano was relaying the message outside.

But his retelling is worthless.

"The sinking speed is very slow, only a hundred meters in one minute."

"Two hundred meters."

"Three hundred meters... one thousand..."

Luciano's tone remained steady until they reached a depth of three thousand meters.

But after three kilometers, his tone changed:
"It's slow!"

"Was there any fighting?" asked Salvatore.

"No, their feedback is that the surrounding pressure is too great, and they have to consume their essence..."

Hearing his words, the wizards fell silent.

Those two undead creatures were both legendary, and they felt pressure just by sinking to a depth of 3,000 meters...

In other words, it would not be good for them to go deeper into the "dark pool" instead.

"Go on," Salvatore gestured.

"Five kilometers..."

"ten kilometers……"

"Twenty kilometers... huh?!"

Luciano paused, attracting the attention of all the wizards around him.

"what happened?"

"Broken, broken." Luciano's skull opened its mouth wide and said with a crackling sound: "Their origin point has disappeared!"

"Dead, or..." Giovanni Drac asked.

"Before they lost contact, everything was fine and they were not in danger." Luciano shook his head.

"Then the original connection channel is cut off... well, under what circumstances would such a thing happen?"

"This……"

Luciano looked at Salvatore, and seeing that he did not show any sign of concealment, he hesitated and said:
“There are only three known cases.”

"One is the isolation array that specifically blocks the source of power. This is the most common situation."

"The second is that the undead creatures were killed instantly, causing the channel to be disconnected. However, this requires extremely strong strength, which is impossible for ordinary legends."

"As for the third situation..."

Luciano paused, then slowly said: "The Kingdom of God will also cause the origin channel to be disconnected!"

"country……"

The wizards looked at the surging sea water rushing into the sky, all with a thoughtful look on their faces.

This "dark pool" has been swallowing up seawater and has the ability to transform the creatures trapped in it into black shadows. It is very likely to be... a country!
But none of them wanted to start a discussion.

Regardless of whether the "dark pool" is the kingdom of God, it is difficult to approach it with the power of legendary wizards like them.

They can report this news to their respective chief wizards. With the power of the three demigods, it should be enough to find out the secrets of this place.

"Wait a minute. If they return safely, that's fine. If not, we will give up exploring this 'sea taboo'."

As the commander-in-chief of the expedition of wizards from the three major schools, Salvatore always remained calm and would not bet everything on this "dark pool".

"clear."

For a moment, the wizards had different expressions, and their gazes, spiritual perceptions, and original perceptions were all focused on the "dark pool".

Time passed minute by minute until the red moon disappeared. The dark clouds in the sky still shrouded the place in darkness.

At this moment, Luciano shouted anxiously:
"I see them!"

"Hmm? Where is it?"

The wizards all looked in the direction he was looking. Within their field of vision, there was still the endless black sea water and countless dark shadowy creatures swarming towards the southern continent.

"Over there! They, they have turned into shadow creatures!"

Before he finished speaking, Salvatore made a move in an instant, and when he returned, two black illusory shadows appeared beside him.

——It was the image of a ghoul and a vengeful spirit!
However, at this moment, the ghouls no longer had immortal bodies, but were instead vague and illusory black shadows, and the originally gray phantom bodies of the vengeful spirits had become of the same texture.

Seeing this, the wizards gathered around, surprised.

"they……"

"Continue researching! Try to find out the reason for their mutation!" Salvatore said solemnly.

The wizards no longer hesitated, and took out the research equipment they carried with them, treating the two undead creatures with caution.

"Hohoho...Kill!"

"Kill..."

The black shadow ghouls and evil spirits struggled and screamed continuously, but they did not have the ability to speak like the previous undead creatures.

However, under the personal action of Salvatore and the suppression of the Origin, their struggles were in vain, and they were held down by the other legendary wizards for various tests.

"Confirmed by the body, no different from the shadow creature!"

"The origin has been confirmed, it is no different from the shadow creature!"

"Damn it, their undead essence has been completely transformed..."

……

……

Just after the "Dark Pool", when the expedition wizards were studying the shadow creatures, the northern coast of the southern continent was already on high alert.

The city-states here were not as hesitant as Custer, nor did they claim asylum like the ghost school Waklav.

All that was left was a large number of clergy from the Church of the Earth rushing over, gathering tens of thousands of extraordinary beings and deploying them together in various city-states on the north shore.

The residents of the city-state began to move inland as soon as they noticed the changes in the "Dark Pool" the night before.

Thousands of people were forced to leave their homes and, under the threat of the Red Moon, were led to other city-states by the clergy of the Church of the Earth.

The Shadow School, which is one of the top supernatural powers in the southern continent like the Church of Earth, also sent out many wizards.

Originally, they were going to head north to the Eastern Continent, planning to seize a kingdom of gods from the Church of Dawn.

I didn't expect to encounter something like "Deep Sea Doomsday" before leaving the Southern Continent.

Therefore, Chief Wizard Nigunica immediately decided to temporarily abandon the plan to go north, and all the legendary wizards gathered in one place, waiting for the "Deep Sea Doomsday" anomaly to pass.

However, what these shadow wizards did not expect was that the impact of "Deep Sea Doomsday" would come so quickly.

In just one night, the dark monsters in the "Dark Pool" invaded the islands not far from the north shore.

Judging from the intelligence transmitted from those islands, they were almost completely massacred and destroyed.

Even the island of Verokala, which had been managed by the Church of the Earth for a thousand years and was the so-called frontier position of the southern continent, only resisted for two hours before fleeing to the north shore under the leadership of the bishop.

"Endless shadowy creatures. They are immortal and cannot be attacked by weapons or fists."

"At the same time, the origin attack is effective, but at least two legendary extraordinary people have had their origins dissolved and consumed under the siege of the shadow creatures, resulting in them now only having the power of ruling-level extraordinary people..."

"Damn it, how could such a horrible creature appear?"

"Even the clergy of the Earth Church can't resist them?"

"The power of faith in the gods does have an effect, but the number of the shadow creatures is too large."

"Although most of them are currently only at the director level, the huge gap in numbers is enough to make up for the lack in this aspect..."

After gathering information from all sides, the expressions of many bishops of the Church of the Earth became uncontrollably solemn.

Shifraya Atkins, the cardinal of the Church of the Earth, is the commander in charge of the "Deep Sea Doomsday" crisis.

She was wearing a green robe, the soft texture wrapped around her tight and delicate body, and her face was beautiful and elegant.

But at this moment her face was also full of solemnity.

"According to the oracle of the great lady of the earth, we, the devout believers, cannot give up the southern continent. We must do our best to save the lives of the people on the continent."

"But Lord Bishop Xifuleya, it may be difficult for us to fight against those shadow monsters with our own strength!"

The Saint of the Power of Nature, Luvia Celinta Bella, hesitated and said, "The number of those shadow monsters is greater than the number of residents in all the cities on the North Shore. There are tens of millions of extraordinary people..."

She said no more.

Even if there are tens of millions of ordinary people, it will take dozens of days to kill them, let alone tens of millions of extraordinary people?
This does not include the number of legendary and Hand of the Kingdom-level extraordinary beings that may exist among them.

With just their three knightly orders of the Church of the Earth and the extraordinary people from the city-states on the north shore, they were simply unable to resist those dark shadow monsters.

"The difference in numbers is more than a hundred times!"

Sifrea nodded, her eyes fixed on the countless dark shadows surging towards her under the cover of dark clouds in the distance.

"Send a notice to the various kingdoms within the country and ask them to send more extraordinary people to the North Shore!"

"In addition, the Shadow School also sent someone to invite their wizard Etienne Wilkins to come and discuss the matter."

"As well as the Glory Society, the Eternal Life Society, and those hidden ancient evil god sects, let them come as well."

Luvia Serinta was about to nod, but her eyes widened when she heard this: "My lord, the Shadow School and the Glory Society are fine, but the Eternal Life Society and those evil god sects are personally designated as heretics by Lady Earth. If they come, I'm afraid..."

"I can't care so much anymore!"

Xifuleya's eyes were serious and her tone was heavy as she said, "Do as I say. If Ms. Angelina pursues the matter, I will take full responsibility!"

Luvia Serinta had no choice but to bow and leave quickly.

Ignoring the departure of the Saint of the Power of Nature, Sifrea sighed quietly:
"I hope everything will be in time..."

The hundred-fold difference in numbers cannot be made up by the statue of Lady Earth, rune arrays, and the power of faith.

If they don't unite all the parties in the southern continent, even if all of them die, they will still be unable to resist the invasion of the shadow creatures.

If it really comes to that, the southern continent will become like purgatory.

Ordinary people who had just left their homes and had not yet escaped far would die, all the city-states along the coast would be destroyed, and the city-states inland would not be spared either...

So even if she would be criticized and condemned by Lady Earth, Shifraya decided to do it!
However, what she didn't expect was that before she could send out the notice, the Shadow School on the other side of the North Bank took action first!
"Ah ha ha--"

"Shadow creatures are creatures that possess shadow characteristics!"

"May the great wizard god bless me, and let my Shadow School encounter such a good thing!"

"Order, all shadow wizards, attack with all your strength, make sure to capture them all, and try to save their lives!"

François Lambert, the leader of the Shadow School heading north to the Eastern Continent, could not help but look overjoyed after personally dissecting two shadow creatures.

He didn't even bother to report to Chief Wizard Nigunica, and decided to take the initiative to capture more shadow creatures.

“They are all treasures!”

"Possessing the extraordinary property of dissolving the origin?"

"It's just perfect!"

"As long as we decipher the mystery of their origin, the origin of our Shadow School will be able to reach a higher level."

"Think about it, if we have a hundred legendary wizards with this kind of original force, even if a demigod wizard comes, we can rely on the power of dissolution to consume him to death!"

"What a wonderful sight that would be..."

Therefore, the wizards of the Shadow School all looked crazy.

They used their best skills and poured out the shadow transformers and shadow seeds in their space rings.

In an instant, four armies of 100,000 shadow transformers were formed and pounced on the dark shadow creatures coming from the "Dark Pool".

“Hehehe… Pay attention, use the Seed of Shadow spell to preserve their original characteristics!”

And those shadowy creatures didn't tolerate these shadow transformers and attacked in overwhelming numbers.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Swallow!"

For a moment, the identical black shadows and shadows were like two huge deformed monsters, entangled with each other.

What François Lambert could not have imagined was that the shadow creatures had more than just the ability to dissolve the origin -
