?Chapter 1013: 315. Escape Master?_3
He picked up the double-handed earth wand and pointed it toward the location of the Shadow Fragments.
“Stone Imprisonment Technique!”
The mountains near the Shadow Fragments rapidly transformed, a ttering series of explosions sounded, and dozens of thick, strong stone pirs shot up from the ground, forming a tight rock cage.
In just half a second, the rock cagepletely sealed off all the Shadow Fragments’ escape routes!
“No! You bastard! Let me go! You’re done for! You’re done for! City Lord Solomon is my uncle! If you…”
Before Hickman Arlington could finish ranting, Nnd Lee tapped his fingertip dozens of times! <div>
...
“Evil st!”
“Boom boom boom~~~”
Dozens of Shadow Fragments exploded, bursting into clusters of purple-ck sparks of death.
Hickman Arlington’s voice abruptly stopped.
[System Message:]
[You have eradicated the “Eighth-Circle Shadow Death Watchers’ Chief City Protector Wizard·Hickman Arlington.”]
[Because you havepletely deconstructed this target, you did not receive any Energy Value Reward.]
[Target panel information and Memory Fragment updated.]
Nnd Lee nced at the system text in his mind and set them aside.
He dispersed the mountain phantom summoned by the “Mountain Fall”, releasing the rock cage of the “Stone Imprisonment Technique”.
With the mountain phantom gone, thendscape would not be restored.
Without external intervention, the huge crater created by the pressure from the mountain would remain on the ground level.
Right at the center of the crater, where Hickman Arlington’s Shadow Fragments were ignited by the “Evil st”, a ck semi-transparent leather pouch was hovering.
Nnd Lee cast Deconstruction at the object, nodding to himself; this was the exact thing he was searching for.
…
[Name] Shadow Skin Bag
[Item Level] Level 81
[Capacity] 500 cubic
[Feature]
1. Shadow Concealment
This item can be hidden within magical creationsposed of shadow energy, including but not limited to wizards’ Shadow Magic Organs, Shadow Magic Tattoos, etc.
2. Repel Non-Shadow
This item can only be used to store items of the Shadows Faction, and any items without shadow energy cannot be put inside.
(The rest of the Deconstruction Results skipped)
…
The magical books that Hickman Arlington carried with him were hidden inside this magic container named Shadow Skin Bag.
Nnd Lee used “Mind Capture” to take it, broke the magic lock with the Rune Staff, and extended a specific gesture into it, shutting down the internal magic mechanism.
At that moment, the shadow container, which could only hold shadow magical items, became a Spoil of Warpletely under the control of Nnd Lee.
Nnd Lee looked around, the devastation in sight.
The multi-segmented Shadow Demons summoned by Hickman Arlington, named “Shadow Cavity Worms”.
After the death of Hickman Arlington, the Shadow Cavity Worms were forced to disperse, disappearing without a trace.
Nnd Lee confirmed there were no enemies at the site using “Perception Enhancement” and Deconstruction.
He surveyed the crater caused by “Mountain Fall” and decided not to leave a single clue for the enemies.
An “Advanced Environmental Restoration Scroll” is undoubtedly the best choice right now.
This Magic Scroll, drawn by a wizard of the Natural System, is specialized in repairing unique terrains caused by magic.
Each Scroll retails for 7 million gold coins, non-negotiable.
Nnd Lee, no longer short on money, did not hesitate to tear open one and erased the crater left by “Mountain Fall”.
Not only that, the stgmites crushed by the mountain’s phantom had also returned to their original state under the operation of the “Advanced Environmental Restoration Spell”.
When Nnd Lee summoned the Tracking Thunder Arrow and erased the natural energy in the vicinity with thunder and lightning energy, all traces of the battle rted to Earth Rock Magic and Death Magic disappeared.
“The City of Exiles will definitely send someone to investigate Hickman Arlington’s cause of death and search for his belongings. Since that’s the case… heh heh heh, I might as well stake out here.”
Nnd Lee chuckled inwardly and cast “Mental Illusion” on himself, followed by the use of a “high-level invisibility” spell.
To prevent the detection of any Eighth-Circle Shadow Death Watcher who mighte here, Nnd Lee also set up an anti-detection magic barrier around himself, along with ayer of illusion magic that disguised him as one of the stgmites.
Withyers of spells cloaking him and with the “Tracking Mark” providing alerts, the likelihood of Nnd Lee being discovered by the enemy first was incredibly small.
Nnd Lee entered a silent state and activated “Mind Induction” to contact Nolin.
“How are the Shadow Death Laborers doing? Nolin,” Nnd Lee asked.
“Sir, as per your instruction, I did not use mental magic to spy on their movements. I only observed them with scout mechs equipped with night vision lenses,” Nolin replied.
“ording to thetest observations, that group of Shadow Death Laborers is building a magic barrier constructed of magic circles 30 kilometers south of the temporary base. This barrier is suspended in the air and may have long-range firepower. ording to the battle n, I will attack when the energy of the magic circles peaks, controlling the Capacitor Pack Device Spirits.”
Nnd Lee chuckled inwardly, generously offering his praise:
“You are doing well, continue with the n.”
“Yes, Sir, but…” Nolin’s voice carried a hint of apology:
“However, I am sorry, Sir. I couldn’t distinguish the Eighth-Circle Shadow Death Watcher from thebor force using the night vision lenses. This is a significant risk.”
“No matter, I’ve got it under control; just stick to the n,” Nnd Lee assured her.
Nnd Lee had the ns of the City of Exiles and a set of Shadow Magic books, which gave him great confidence.
As soon as he got the magic books, he performed Harmless Deconstruction.
The set of magic books, titled “Shadow Death Master’s Learning Notes”, consisted of five volumes, covering everything from Wizard Students to high-level Wizards.
From them, Nnd Lee deconstructed over a dozen blueprints for the creation of shadow magic items, six spell blueprints with apleteness of 10%, and a schrly skill named “Shadow Magic Proficiency”.
Of course, the most crucial item also appeared among the deconstruction results.
The “Shadow Death Cipher”, a set of magic runes that could strengthen the magic shield and make the Shadow Sub-dimension treat him as an ally, had now be Nnd Lee’s possession.
Even if two Eighth-Circle Shadow Death Watchers stood before Nnd Lee, they would impose no fatal threat upon him.
Nnd Lee even pondered in his mind whether he should deliberately go looking for trouble amidst thebor force…
While contemting, he cast “Mind View” towards the tracking mark near thebor force.
He wanted to take a distant look at the team and lock onto the two individuals before alerting the Eighth-Circle Shadow Death Watchers.
The magic vision unfolded, but that premonition of “someone is about to discover that I’m secretly watching” didn’t arise in Nnd Lee’s mind.
“Eh? Where did the Eighth-Circle Shadow Death Watchers in the team go? Have both of them left thebor force?”
Nnd Lee raised an eyebrow:
“Could those two be heading to where Hickman Arlington perished?”
The moment this thought crossed Nnd Lee’s mind, two dark gazes swept over his surroundings, full of scrutiny and caution.
Nnd Lee’s internal rm bells rang.
Indeed, they hade.
“Perception Enhancement” informed Nnd Lee that they were now two kilometers away, examining the stgmite terrain repaired by the “Advanced Environmental Restoration Spell.”
Nnd Lee’s heart pounded; this was the first time he faced two Eighth-Circle Combat Wizards at the same time.
To fight or to flee?
Nnd Lee squinted his eyes slightly.
With the “Shadow Death Cipher” in hand, his odds of winning against two Eighth-Circle Combat Wizards were around eighty percent.
But that still wasn’t a hundred percent.
To y it safe, Nnd Lee decided to stack the odds of victory in his favor.
“Nolin, leave behind 200 Capacitor Pack Device Spirits to harass the Shadow Death Labor Corps and slow down the construction of the magic barrier. The remaining 300, converge on my position, stay concealed.”
“Yes, Sir,” Nolin acknowledged, realizing the situation had changed and immediately started executing Nnd Lee’smand without further inquiry.
