Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 19 External Signals
[Ding! The blood of the Son of Night changes, gaining the magic of darkness and shadow, triggering a fantasy event...]

[Ding! Fantasy event completed! Obtained reward: Black Shadow Great Sword! ]

[Ding! The bloodline has changed and upgraded to a new bloodline - Shadow of the Night! ]

"Is this the bloodline upgrade? It feels pretty good."

Norman looked at his palm. At this moment, his palm had turned into an illusory gray shadow, as if it did not exist!
The original Son of the Night, was able to transform himself into blood and bats through the power of blood magic.

After integrating dark magic and shadow magic, his power is no longer limited to blood, but he can also use the power of darkness and shadow!
Norman looked at the system.

[Shadow of the Night: Based on the blood of the Son of the Night, the blood is transformed after fusing the magic of darkness and shadow, and can use darkness and shadow magic! ]

[Because it is a brand new bloodline, please explore the specific situation yourself! ]

This explanation is very general, just like the original Children of the Night, the specific development and operation are not restricted and depend entirely on the owner.

Just like when Caitlyn led the Black Knights to kill the dinosaur monster, under Caitlyn's leadership, the Black Knights also turned into blood mist and penetrated and took away the blood of the monster.

This was an ability that did not exist before, but in an emergency, Caitlyn led the Black Knights to develop it.

At the same time there is another point of change in the system.

In terms of civilization capabilities, there is a new bloodline of Shadow of Night, but the label behind it is "Royal Blood", which means that this bloodline temporarily belongs to Norman alone.

After learning first-level magic, Norman began to learn second-level magic.

While he was studying in seclusion, the Black Kingdom was also developing rapidly...

……

"My goodness, why do you still need to farm after coming here?"

"You are not needed to plant seeds. Just look after the slaves."

"It's been a long time since I saw slaves. Even the people of the defeated countries were only used as temporary laborers and then registered as households. How could Your Majesty go backwards in history?"

"I can see that you haven't been to the academy to watch the news. These swamp tree people don't know what's good for them! Your Majesty wants to unify the country, and it's fine if they don't agree. Your Majesty won't do anything to those who disagree, and won't even go to war. But these guys still want benefits! Do you think we can stop fighting?"

"You want benefits without joining? Just kill them all!"

"Who says it isn't?"

A group of people from the Black Kingdom were sitting on chairs and talking, and in front of them were a group of black and brown swamp tree people.

These tree people are working in the fields.

They were divided into two groups, one group of tree people was responsible for picking mature mushrooms, and the other group was responsible for sorting the small mushrooms and then planting them.

Not far from the agricultural area, there is a real forest.

Buried in that forest were those swamp tree people who wanted to resist or died of exhaustion.

While the two were chatting, in a corner that they didn't notice, a swamp tree man was performing a secret ritual.

……

"Great Swamp God, your people are suffering. I am willing to sacrifice myself to you... to summon your remains... I beg you to respond to me!"

The swamp tree man finished chanting the spell, then broke off the mushroom on his head and crushed it.

The juice from the mushroom flowed out, which was the blood of the tree man.

As the blood soaked all the runes on the ground, strange magical powers surged out and turned into ripples, spreading outward along with the magic in the air.

These ripples spread to the swamp in the north, and the moment they touched the swamp, they rushed into it like water that had found an entrance.

Then the entire swamp began to vibrate and a huge tree stump rose up from the swamp.

After the tree stump rose, it pulled out its roots and used them as feet and hands, and used the stump as its head and body, like a giant turtle crawling on the ground.

"Om-"

It roared, then slowly walked towards Shadow Highlands.

This is the "Swamp God" that the swamp tree people call. He was once a creation of the Shadowmoon clan, a powerful alchemical creature that can be awakened by blood!

"What is this?" "It's a monster!"

"Withdraw, go find the Black Knights and Iron Guards! Notify the General!"

The soldiers who were guarding the people nearby reacted immediately when they saw the alchemical creature, covering the people's retreat and notifying people who could deal with the monster.

"No, which general should I notify?"

"...Whatever! Which general is informing whom!"

"Oh, explain it clearly."

The scout ran off after saying this, not daring to tease his squad leader again.

Because everyone has been strengthened, they are not very scared when they see the monster, so they can make a little joke, but if they make too many jokes, they will get beaten.

"Monster?"

"Yes, General Caesar, a turtle-like tree stump monster appeared in the swamp. It looks like an alchemical creation."

"Well, notify the Black Knight to get ready. I'll go over and take a look first."

Caesar flashed out and transformed into a three-meter-tall blood-red giant wolf, running towards the monster.

As one of the only five generals in the Black Kingdom, Caesar's talent is no less than Caitlin's.

He was a beggar when he was young and was taken in and trained by Norman. He was the youngest among the five generals, but he had the highest personal martial arts skills. Even Catelyn could not beat him!

At the same time, he was also the most stable one in marching and fighting.

It was precisely because he was steady enough that every time the Normans went out to fight, Caesar would follow behind as the rear army or guard the country.

Now that there are no external enemies on the Blue Star, Norman transferred Caesar to the Shadow Star to serve as the governor of the central continent here.

After awakening, Caesar developed many applications of blood magic.

For example, he could directly liberate himself, imitate Norman's ability to turn into a bat, structure himself into blood, and then reorganize himself into a bloody giant wolf.

This is equivalent to inventing a blood magic version of Transfiguration!

Caesar transformed into a giant wolf and rushed to the vicinity of the alchemy monster, then tried to attack it.

His claws scratched the monster's leg, severing the root.

"It can cause damage. It seems to be within the scope of the universe. It is an alchemical life, or an alchemical life of shadow magic. The weakness should be in the head."

Caesar quickly jumped up and rushed along the monster's legs to the monster's head.

"It turned out to be a defective product that had lost the protection of the control room."

After Caesar came up, he saw the weakness of this alchemical creature. Then he changed back into human form, condensed a handful of blood thorns in his hand, and inserted them into the magic circle on the monster's head.

"Buzz!"

A huge vibration sounded, and the alchemical monster that had just moved stopped in place due to the loss of energy supply.

And just as the monster stopped, its protective measures were triggered.

"Ok?"

Caesar jumped and flipped backwards, landing steadily on the ground.

A strong wave of magical power also erupted from the monster's body.

This wave of vibration spread all the way across half of the Central Continent, even reaching the Shadow Highlands, and through the portal, reaching the Blue Star...

……

"Om-"

"Oh? There's a special signal? Is this... a planet that has lost the light of its star?"
