Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 439 Hard Fight
There was no time to pay attention to Kesrick's surprise. The totem power in Noshir's body gave him six senses beyond ordinary people. His own extraordinary perception further enhanced this ability, which allowed him to avoid the sneak attack of the black shadow.

The giant black shadow was chopped back by Noshil's axe. The giant axe wrapped in flames almost cut the black shadow in two, but just the next moment, the injuries on the black shadow's body completely disappeared, and his attack seemed to have no effect at all!
"This thing...are you kidding me? Can Catheric even summon something like this?"

Noshier glanced at Catheric who had retreated to the other side of the lake, and then focused all his attention on the giant ghost in front of him, which seemed to have a physical body.

He had recognized the monster for what it was.

"The nightmare of the living, the embodiment of destruction, the opposite of life, the [Crawling Night Shadow] from the Fallen Shadow Underworld!"

The Crawling Night Shadow is a very dangerous undead spirit that usually only appears in the Fallen Shadow Underworld.

In order for the Night Shadow to appear in the main material plane, there must be a living person who reaches the Shadowfall alive. However, for a living being, directly entering a negative energy plane like the Shadowfall is tantamount to suicide. But if that person successfully survives in that world, then the person who comes to the Shadowfall will make room for the Night Shadow in the mortal world.

The Crawling Night Shadow will immediately appear at the place where the life form disappeared, but it will not replace everything that person has in the mortal world, because this monster is the embodiment of destruction. The Crawling Night Shadow has no wisdom in a broad sense, but it will instinctively destroy the lives of all living people.

If all undead creatures were ranked on the same level, then the danger level of the Nightcrawler might be not much different from that of the Lich. Somehow, Catheric Thom had captured a Nightcrawler and was even able to control it to some extent...

"You are worthy of being the chosen one of the God of the Dead. You can even get such a tricky thing. This is really bad. You must not be hit by this thing in the next battle, otherwise this battle will become very difficult..."

In the few seconds that Noshir was thinking, Fuxing Yeying had completely recovered from his previous injuries.

The huge monster didn't make any movement, just staring at Noshier with its dim white eyes. The black mist around its body became thicker, and then in the next moment, the black mist suddenly spread out! The strong negative energy enveloped Noshier's whole body in an instant! The sound of sulfuric acid soaking the body began to emerge from Noshier!

"This is... the aura of annihilation!"

Annihilation Aura is one of Fu Xing Ye Ying's supernatural abilities. The essence of the black fog on Fu Xing Ye Ying's body is concentrated negative energy that has been materialized. When this negative energy is released instinctively, it can form an annihilation aura that has absolute restraining power over living things!
This kind of aura possesses all the negative effects that negative energy can cause, which not only allows it to kill hundreds or thousands of ordinary people in an instant, but even high-level professionals cannot last for long within the range of the aura.

Because this kind of spiritual light will suppress the regeneration ability of the professional, even the healing potion will not be effective within the range of the spiritual light. The extraordinary healing ability brought to him by the bear totem has lost its effect, and Noshier felt this very clearly.

However, although the healing ability of the totem was temporarily ineffective, the resistance to all attributes brought by the bear totem still existed, and the effect of the annihilation aura on him was not as effective as it was on other people. Noshier could withstand such continuous damage for a whole day, but the real strength of the crouching night shadow was not just this small aura!

The moment after the annihilation aura enveloped Noshir, the crouching night shadow showed a speed far beyond its huge size! The 15-meter-tall giant ghost flashed in front of Noshir at a speed as if it was teleporting! With its claws raised high, it chopped down fiercely!
Noshil's reaction was quick. His 24 points of agility allowed him to easily block the claws' attack with his giant axe. Then he used a force far exceeding that of the Night Shadow to throw it away with one hand!

'Agility is probably around 19, strength should be between 22 and 23, and physique is hard to estimate, but definitely not less than 20. His recovery ability is too fast!'

In giant form, Noshir rushed a few steps quickly, raised his giant axe with his right arm, and was about to chop down the head of the crouching night shadow to split it in two! But this monster showed the signature fighting style of the undead creature at this time.

Not afraid of injury or death, it faced the giant axe that was about to split it in two, stood up straight, and immediately aimed its claws at Noshir. Even if it had to take the attack that was enough to seriously injure it, it still wanted to pierce its claws into Noshir's body!

‘Damn it! ’

Faced with the emergency, Noshil immediately changed his tactics. The axe that was originally prepared to chop off Fu Xing Yeying's head had to attack in advance, temporarily chopping off one of Fu Xing Yeying's arms.

But even though one of its arms was chopped off, the Creeping Night Shadow had no intention of stopping its attack. A crack suddenly appeared on its face that had no face at all, and then it suddenly opened a huge mouth that led straight to the dark abyss and bit Noshil fiercely!

Faced with such a desperate attack, even Noshir could only be forced to retreat, dodging the continuous offensive by ducking backwards.

If the enemy was not a monster like the Crawling Night Shadow, Noshiel would definitely chop it down to the ground in the fight, even if it meant exchanging injuries for injuries! But monsters like the Crawling Night Shadow were too special. Its attacks carried a special effect called the power of decay. Targets attacked by the Crawling Night Shadow would permanently lose the upper limit of their vitality.

This will cause the weak to die and the strong to become weakened. Only the recovery magic of the eighth ring or above can dispel this negative effect. But now Noshil does not have time to find a high-level priest to treat himself, so he can only try his best to avoid being hit by the attack of the Creeping Night Shadow.

But during the time when Nosir was dodging the attack, other high-level death cultists present had come to their senses. Various necromancy spells were aimed at Nosir's tall body, forcing him to expend his mind to control his two iron hands to block those attacks for himself.

At this time, Catheric, who was already far away from the battlefield, also made a new move. The purple gem on his chest armor suddenly lit up with an intense light, accompanied by a tremor that shook the entire cave. A huge shadow also emerged in the lake in front of Catheric.
