Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

They made full use of his magic, borrowing strength, talking to him, calling for help, etc.

After all, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. The little bit of magic power he borrowed could be restored in a few seconds, and saving people was a piece of cake. It was no loss to him, so he was too lazy to care about it.

But just now, he felt the fluctuations of magic power calling for help here, but when he rushed here, he didn't see any core employees of Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce, but there were a few ordinary employees.

"Could it be that he has been killed? That's not right. The magic power fluctuations don't give me any feeling of injury. Wait, did the magic power just now convey to me the owner's physical safety information?"

Sid closed his eyes, and opened them again after a while, his face pale.

He thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to feel the information about his physical condition that was transmitted along with the call for help.

In fact, he also sensed whether there were any other magic owners like him around. The nearest one was in the Gamma Building. Then he sensed the entire world, and the number of magic owners he sensed was exactly the same as he had imagined.

...Wrong, is it an illusion?

The figure on the roof shook for a while, then knelt on the ground and made an orz gesture.

How could Kexiu give up the weekly Shadow Power Trial, which made his suspicion index in Akatsuki Kojou's heart rise. Now he was told that the magic distress signal he sensed was an illusion.

His rage now was ten or even nine times as great as when he was woken up this morning and had several parts of his body crushed into pulp by magic.

But who can be blamed for this? Should he blame himself?

Jumping down from the roof, Sid began to think about where he should go now. He definitely couldn't go to Akatsuki Castle, and he had to be careful to avoid it.

He had just said he had something urgent to do and left, but the next thing he knew he was wandering around the street. Sid didn't know what others would think, but his impression of this guy must have plummeted.

So..., let's go pet the cat, use the cute cat to comfort him on this unfortunate day, and by the way, see if Yeze Natsune is here today.

Sid clapped his hands and left as soon as he said he would. His figure disappeared instantly, but he didn't notice that a blonde nun was running towards him from behind.

When the blonde nun ran to where Sid was just now, she looked around in confusion and grabbed the old man next to her.

"Excuse me, old sir, did you see a man in a black coat just now?"

The old man who was pulled over was quite angry at first because someone was trying to anesthetize him, but then he changed his expression when he saw it was a little girl.

"No, little girl."

Sid was clearly standing next to him just now, but now he says he didn't see it. Of course, it's not his fault.

Sid's natural secret allows anyone to see him as if he were a speck of dust. Even though he normally does not hide anything, no one can see Sid's true face because of this trick.

"I'm sorry to bother you, old man."

Seeing that the girl wanted to ask other people, the old man stopped her.

"Little girl, don't look for me anymore. I've been here for a day, and the person you mentioned hasn't been here today."

"But, but he was here just now."

"You must have seen it wrong. In this kind of weather, if there is an old man wearing a black coat, I will definitely remember it. Even if you ask others, nine times out of ten they will only give this answer."

Watching the old man leave, the blonde nun fell into confusion.

"I, am I hallucinating? But the Lord told me that it was him just now."

Of course she wasn't hallucinating, it was the others who were hallucinating. If Sid saw this funny scene, one of the items on his list of "things you have to say if you want to become a powerful shadow master" would have been completed.

"People who see through illusions, but live in illusions, will they go with the flow and sink, or stand tall and stick to themselves? It's really exciting to see."

Well, that's what Sid would say.

Chapter 16: Teacher Annihilation

"Pet it, little kitty, come here and let me pet it."

In the monastery, Sid was stroking a cat in each hand with a sweet smile on his face.

"Be good, be good, don't worry, I'll find you a family to adopt me right away, don't lick me anymore."

Sid stood up, put the two kittens down on his knees, took out a piece of paper to wipe the places that had been licked by the cats, turned around and moved to a hidden corner of the monastery, and took out a bag of cat food.

Don’t ask if the cat food will be stolen by kittens if you put it in the monastery. If these little creatures, which are only the size of his palm, can break his seal, he will write his name upside down.

As he poured the cat food into the bowl, Sid began to greet the kittens around him.

"Hey, hey, it's time to eat."

Hearing his voice, the kittens that were wandering around and playing gathered together to eat.

Looking at the heartwarming scene of kittens lying on the ground and eating cat food in small sips, Sid felt something was wrong.

"1, 2, 3, ... 23."

"…………???!!!"

"1, 2, 3, 4...23!!!"

Sid instantly woke up from his cat-stroking world, as if one cat was missing from the group.

If he remembered correctly, Xia Yin had a total of 24 cats, 23 of which were on the field.

Shit, he just gave an example to Yeze Natsune yesterday about a cat that wanted to run away from home, and today there was one less cat. What kind of luck is this? Is his words true?

No, it should be said that he had some bad luck today.

He was disturbed in the morning and his body turned into meat paste. Then his sister fell from the sky and it seemed that she would have to live in Genkami Island. It is expected that he will be bothered for a while in the future. Next, the Zhou Changying Trial copy failed because of an illusion. The suspicion index in Akatsuki Kojou's heart increased. Finally, the cat that Yeze Natsune paid him to take care of was inexplicably missing.

Ahhh..., let's sneak out of Gengami Island tonight and do his old job to relax. It would be best if he could catch a big fish tonight to soothe his restlessness of the day.

Although he thought so, Sid did not slow down and ran straight to the gate of the monastery. After all, if this runaway cat ran down the mountain and was notified to the stray animal control team by someone with nothing to do, he might be able to find it in the animal home if he was lucky, but if he was unlucky, he would only get a corpse.

After running out of the monastery, Sid stopped and looked back at the monastery.

He never put any marks on the kittens or remembered their scent, because there was a ruin blocking the exit of the monastery. It was easy for humans to step over it, but for the kittens, with their current size, it was impossible to cross the ruins and leave the monastery.

The appearance of this cat running away from home might just be an accident. This cat grew faster, and from his perspective, the other cats were not able to cross the ruins.

But what if? What if, after all his hard work in finding the cat that ran away from home, another cat was missing?

But now there is not enough time to mark them one by one, so...

"Knot."

Sid waved his hand casually, and an illusory barrier appeared out of thin air, covering the monastery, and disappeared into the void after a few seconds.

Magic, isn't it amazing?

"Done. Find it sooner and come back sooner."

After setting up the barrier, Sid ran down the mountain without looking back.

If a student of magic was here, he would probably be astonished to see Sid's operation. He didn't do any action, didn't recite any spell, just waved his hand to set up a barrier. The node of the barrier was not in reality, but in the void. This might be the God of Magic himself.

Magic is Sid's greatest gain after the fusion of the worlds. In Sid's understanding, magic only needs to be divided into three parts, which are also the three most important parts: magic power, knowledge, and control.

Magic power is the foundation of magic, knowledge is the structure of magic, control is the filling of magic, and the rest of the gestures, seals, and spells are just auxiliary.

Yes, these are all auxiliary means of the third part: "Control".

Magic power and knowledge cannot be changed. If any of these two are not up to standard, you will not be able to cast magic. You can only practice these two items honestly and there is no way to use any tricks.

The control is different, and this can be strengthened through other means. Hand gestures and seals are to facilitate the flow of magic power for better control, and spells are psychological suggestion plus body memory to form an instinctive reaction.

But for Sid, these tricks are essentially the impure thing of giving up melee ability in exchange for long-range attack, which is a lowering of the standards for himself.

Hand gestures and seals are used to make movements of the hands, spells will remind the opponent, and some very complicated magic preludes may take several years to prepare. Only those who can release magic at close range in the moment of battle are true magicians, and the others are at most tools who can cast magic.

Of course, this is Sid's requirement for himself. He still knows that if his remarks are made public, he will be wanted by the entire wizarding world. After all, according to this requirement, more than 99.99% of the people in the wizarding world will have to be kicked out of the ranks of magicians, including the top ones. They may be able to cast low- and medium-level magic instantly, but they must use tricks to cast high-level magic.

"Damn it, where did he go?"

Several hours had passed and it was almost dusk, but Sid still hadn't found the cat that had run away from home.

During these hours, Sid ran around the mountain to various places where cats might be hiding, as well as to animal homes and places where cats were euthanized, but found nothing.

Now he regretted taking the money from Yeze Natsune. If it was two days ago, he would have given up by now. After all, the cat left on its own and it had nothing to do with him.

But now that he has received the money, if the cat dies because of his fault before finding someone to adopt it, not only will he have to apologize to Xia Yin and return all the money, he will also have to raise the cat. It will be a huge loss. Why didn't he think of this yesterday? Money is indeed not that easy to make.

Just when Sid was about to give up on himself with such thoughts, his eyes narrowed. He sensed that two humanoid life forms walked into the barrier set up outside the monastery.

Damn, it's raining cats and there's no time to look for the cat now. I'll just have to pay the compensation. The barrier he set up is a binding barrier that you can only enter but not leave.

He didn't know what the two men were doing in an abandoned monastery, and he had no interest in knowing, but he could tell with his eyes closed what would happen when they wanted to leave but found that they couldn't.

First they would call someone, then the barrier would be discovered and reported to the Genshin Island Guard. Then the guard would check one by one, and with modern technology and the fact that he couldn't hide, they would probably find him soon, and then his identity as a shadow master would be revealed.

No, no, because his true identity as the Shadow Master was discovered for such a ridiculous reason, and his future became a funny character who ran wild and destroyed the world, no, no, he couldn't accept it at all.

Thinking of this, Sid ran up the mountain faster. If possible, he would have wanted to transform into a shadow on the spot and run to the monastery.

“Tread, tap, tap….”

Finally, after more than ten minutes, Sid finally arrived at the gate of the monastery. Looking at the barrier that had not been triggered yet, Sid was so moved that tears almost fell.

Sid casually removed the barrier and looked into the monastery. He was quite curious about who would come to this abandoned monastery. In such a long time, he had only seen Yeze Natsune and him come here.

Looking around, Sid saw a man in black missionary clothes half-kneeling in front of the rusty cross of the monastery, and a short man in a black cloak standing behind him, holding a ball of hair in his hand.

Hey, wait, that ball of fur seems to be the lost cat No. 24.

"Um…!"

As if attracted by the footsteps, the man who was praying stood up and looked at Sid.

Chapter 17: It seems I met a liar

"I never thought that I would meet someone blessed by the Lord in this desecrated land. It really makes me feel honored and funny."

When the tall figure saw Sid, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and then he shook his head and lamented something that Sid couldn't understand.

"Hmm... Hello, may I ask who is the 'person blessed by the Lord' you mentioned? Is there anyone else here?"

Sid looked around and made sure that there were only three of them around.

"Don't doubt it, I am addressing you. May I ask what your Majesty's address is?"

"Um... Sid, uncle, just call me Sid. Um... Uncle, I don't have any money."

Sid felt like he had met a liar. He had seen many such tricks in his previous life, such as pretending to be mysterious to deceive the elderly or the teenagers with middle school syndrome.

After all, he was pursuing supernatural powers in his previous life, and his family was quite wealthy, which led to him occasionally encountering some people who tried to cheat him of his money. Of course, he beat them all up one by one. It was not because they didn't believe in it, because if they didn't believe it, he wouldn't have pursued it. It was just that they couldn't even beat him, so how could they have the nerve to teach him magic? It really made him laugh to death.

"Your Majesty, I am a teacher from the Western European Church, my name is Rudolf Ostach. I did not lie to you. You are indeed a person blessed by the Lord. If I could have met you earlier, I would have brought you to the church and recommended Your Majesty to become the new Son of God."

It's such a familiar routine. Am I going to say next that because of my health problem, my talent bestowed by God has been sealed, and it would cost a huge price to lift the seal. But since you want to take me as your apprentice, you only need to give you millions or even hundreds of thousands of Zeni as a gift to lift the seal.

By the way, you even made up the name and positions of a church, and it’s an existing church. How dare you do that? Aren’t you afraid that the church will find out and come after you?

"Unfortunately……"

Ah, here it comes, hurry up and say it, my fist has been thirsty, I have been feeling depressed for a whole day and finally there is a sandbag for me to vent.

"I have important matters to attend to now, and I am not sure whether I can continue to perform my duties afterward."

Have you eaten yet? If not, eat me... I'm in trouble if you don't follow the script. Forget it, just in case I really hit the wrong person, I'll let you wake up for a while.

"Your Majesty, I have to fulfill my duty. I'm sorry that I can't take you to the church, but you shouldn't continue to live in this cursed land."

Oh oh oh, here it comes, it’s really here this time, what the hell, it turns out they just changed their way of saying it to deceive people, I was worried that I might have made a mistake.

Let me guess, what you are going to say next is that this island is about to sink, and Noah’s Ark leaving this island is about to arrive, and you want me to spend money to buy a ticket on Noah’s Ark.

"And I will use this body to pull this cursed land into the sea..."

6. What I said was right. Let’s get started quickly. Let’s start my favorite part of beating up scammers in my previous life. Scammers like you should be severely beaten and handed over to the guards.

"This is my token of identity as Teacher Jian, Your Majesty, Sid. Just in case, there is a ship heading directly to Western Europe that will depart tomorrow night. When the ship arrives, you can show my token and someone will take you on board. Pack up your things and call your family to leave this island as soon as possible."

Ha, the flaw is revealed. I didn't expect that you not only defraud money but also kidnap people. Aren't you afraid of defrauding people with supernatural powers? Oh, I forgot that you even dare to impersonate the church. That's fine.

No matter what, liar, die, die, die...

"Gulu."

Sid swallowed, his eyes fixed on the hand of the liar who called himself Teacher Jian. He was holding a pure gold cross necklace. If it was just pure gold, he would not be like this. What was more important was the church's anti-counterfeiting logo and a series of magic spells below. What did this mean?

This means that this is a cross necklace that has been authenticated by the church and lost, and is a world-class collectible.

"Yes, it's me? Don't, don't be ridiculous. How is it possible that I, how, how could I be the 'person blessed by God'?"

"Your Majesty, of course you are. This is what the Lord told me."

"I don't believe it. I have always been so ordinary since I was a child."
