?Chapter 1009: 314. Nnd counter-surveince_2


    Nnd Lee did some quick calctions in his mind and ascertained the location of the enemy.


    After arriving nearby, he took a magic scroll out of his magic pouch and tore it open in the air.


    Greenish-blue wind energy gushed out from the scroll, transforming into a transparent gale that rushed towards the direction Nnd pointed to.


    “Sonic st”!


    An invisible sphere exploded near the invisible foe, causing a torrent of deafening sounds and vibrations.


    “Boom boom boom boom~~” <div>


    ...


    The ground shook violently, stgmites broke, and sand and rocks were sent flying.


    A staggering figure was forced out of invisibility, falling through the twisted air, crashing down to the ground with broken pieces of stgmites.


    Nnd narrowed his eyes at this figure, detecting something odd.


    The next second, the figure faded and vanished in the hazy dust, turning into pure shadow energy and slipping into the darkness.


    “Hmm, that’s a shadow magic clone. There’s a Shadow Wizard who sent a clone to probe the situation.”


    Nnd’s vignce did not wane as he swiftly analyzed the situation:


    “The strength of a magic clone is at least 10 percent of the wizard themselves, and at most 50 percent. That magic clone was about 1300 meters from the ‘Tracking Mark’, barely aware of its existence. Based on this, the wizard behind the clone must be an Eighth Circle Shadow Wizard.”


    Nnd was maintaining “Perception Enhancement” at this time.


    He carefully sensed around but did not notice any eyes on him.


    An Eighth Circle Shadow Wizard, hiding outside the range of “Perception Enhancement”, was using a shadow magic clone to test Nnd’s strength and weaknesses.


    This half-hidden, overly cautious approach fitted the shady style of Shadow Wizards well.


    But if he thought he could remain hidden, he was sorely mistaken.


    “Sorry, but it’s time for me to cheat.”


    Nnd chuckled inwardly and opened the deconstruction results of the “shadow magic clone”.


    …


    [Name]Shadow Magic Clone


    [Type]Shadows Faction magical creation


    [Clone Level]45th level


    [Energy Value]4495/4500 points


    [Description]


    1. The maximum control distance of this clone is 13.5 kilometers.


    2. During the existence of the clone, its energy value decreases by 1 point per minute. The original body can infuse shadow energy into it to increase its energy value.


    (Other dposition results omitted)


    …


    “Sonic st”, a spell that can only cause effective damage to creatures with physical structures.


    For an energy body like a shadow magic clone, “Sonic st” is unable to inflict damage. At most, by creating violent environmental changes, it can force it out of invisibility status.


    Thus, the 5 points decrease in energy on the panel was due to the shadow magic clone’s existence for 5 minutes.


    This shadow magic clone had been in existence for 5 minutes, and it had to stay within 13.5 kilometers of its master; additionally, it approached the temporary base from the due west.


    These three clues were quickly woven by Nnd into a firm and reliable of leads.


    Nnd peered westward, continuously throwing out “Tracking Marks”.


    These “Tracking Marks”, visible only to him, were like little points of white light.


    In just half a minute, a white light trail pointing westward appeared in Nnd’s vision.


    The range of energy perception for an Eighth Circle Shadow Wizard is approximately 2500 meters.


    Considering this is the Dark Zone, Shadow Wizards’ home field, the energy perception range of an Eighth Circle Shadow Wizard would only be higher, not lower.


    As soon as a “Tracking Mark” appears within the opponent’s energy perception range, Nnd would surely receive a mental-level rm here.


    The current straight line formed by the “Tracking Marks”, extending along both horizontal and vertical directions, quickly created a huge coordinate system covering 15 kilometers to the west.


    Unless the enemy used teleportation magic to leave, he was bound to have no way to escape.


    Indeed, the mental-level rm arrived as expected.


    Nnd slightly lifted his head, his gaze piercing through theyers of stgmites, focusing on a certain stgmite 500 meters above the ground level in the northwest direction.


    “Found you.”


    Nnd tossed “Mind View” toward the “Tracking Mark” near the stgmite and saw a shadow squatting behind it.


    Nnd made no attempt to hide his gaze, staring intently at the shadow in his magic vision.


    The shadow sharply detected Nnd’s scrutiny.


    It burst open with a bang, avoiding battle, and split into several shadows that swiftly fled in different directions.


    In less than two seconds, these scattered shadows blended into the surrounding darkness.


    This was the Eighth Circle Shadow Wizard Nnd was searching for.


    Nnd confirmed this from the deconstruction results.


    It had to be said, when ites to being sneaky, Shadow Wizards are certainly notorious.


    Though an Eighth Circle Wizard, he acted as timid and cautious as a low-level wizard.


    His fleeing speed was very fast, slipping away from right under Nnd’s nose by splitting into many.


    But Nnd’s reaction was even faster!


    The moment the Shadow Wizard split, Nnd tagged all of the split shadows with a total of one thousand “Tracking Marks”.


    There were eight shadows in total, each enjoying 125 “Tracking Marks”.


    The Eighth Circle Shadow Wizard noticed the “Tracking Marks” on him.


    While escaping, he utilized his internal shadow energy, grinding these spell marks to dust, trying to shake off Nnd’s pursuit.
