Chapter 423: Shadow Devil King


Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem


The fourth shadow devil was called dark shadow devil.


Shadows were in general good at concealing themselves in dark areas, but dark shadow devil was even better. It could only be used for a.s.sa.s.sination and ambush attacks. Dark shadow devil possessed the same strength as the shadows, but it had one ability which the shadows didn"t—Stab Burst.


As long as the dark shadow devil got close to its target while being concealed, it would self-destruct and deal huge damage.


Li Yunmu looked read its details again and made an astonis.h.i.+ng discovery. The instantaneous damage from the dark shadow devil was one and a half time greater than an all out attack from one of the shadows.


Although the damage was only increased by half, this small increase would be terrifying when taken into consideration that the shadows possessed impressive strength.


It could not be forgotten that the self-destruction would deal the one and a half time greater damage in an instant.


In other words, if Li Yunmu dispatched the dark shadow devil, even a flux expert in the great circle wouldn"t be able to dodge its Stab Burst and would die.


The main use of the dark shadow devil was a.s.sa.s.sination. Whether it was a.s.sa.s.sinating an enemy or the leader of a monster horde, it would be able to display its abilities.


Such a description caused Li Yunmu"s heart to pound extremely fast. There was nothing useless about the dark shadow devil; its ability was extremely useful.


The fifth shadow devil was called light shadow devil. Its combat strength was average and neither did it have profound vitality, powerful defense, or formidable combat strength. It only had one ability which was light.


Light shadow devil existed only to s.h.i.+ne. It could emit a fantastic halo which would reveal everything in the surroundings. All sorts of concealment or hiding abilities would be clearly seen under the illumination of light shadow devil.


Naturally, this wasn"t absolute. After all, there was nothing in the world which was absolute. But given that the system had recorded it as absolute terms without any exceptions, it was clear that light shadow devil could reveal the majority of falsehoods in the world.


As for light shadow devil"s comprehensive combat ability, it was naturally the same as that of the shadows. There was no increase in its combat strength, which made it appear mediocre compared to the previous four devils. However, its unique ability to reveal the truth of any situation was sufficient to make it tempting.


"Good, good, this shadow skill is much more formidable compared to what I imagined."


After carefully inspecting the five shadow devils, Li Yunmu could clearly see that all the abilities of this shadow skill were formidable and not useless in any way.


Shadow Carapace, which Li Yun had comprehended recently, had been able to remain undetected under the light of the boundary stele and was able to fool the keen sense of the toads. And the shadow devil skill was even more powerful.


Li Yunmu wished to obtain all five of the shadow devils, and he could even choose to do so. He had eleven shadows, so he could instruct all of them to congeal one of the above mentioned shadow devils.


But Li Yunmu felt conflicted at that moment, because the path which he had thought for the system"s development wasn"t this one.


If he chose this shadow skill, it would mean that he would lose the opportunity to direct the system"s evolution in his chosen direction.


At that moment, he heard the system"s calm voice. [Host needn"t be anxious. Actually, there is one more type of shadow devil. Take a look at this last type of shadow devil once, then you can make your choice.]


What? Didn"t the description say that there were only five types of shadow devils. Where did the sixth one come from?


Li Yunmu was baffled, but he didn"t ask and just went look at the description of the sixth shadow devil.


As he did so, the system spoke up once again. [Originally there were only five types. The sixth could only be produced after the host had looked through all the first five.]


With nothing to say, Li Yunmu s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the description of the final type of shadow devil. Once he read it, his brain stopped working and his breath grew ragged.


He"d believed that the special characteristics of each of the five shadow devil could already be considered as extremely powerful, but at that moment he discovered that he was gravely mistaken. As he read about the sixth devil, all his previous thoughts were thrown out the window.


The sixth shadow devil shattered all the knowledge regarding shadow devils he"d thought he"d acquired while reading about the other five. If being accurate, it wasn"t a sole existence, but instead required all five shadow devils to be created and then fused into one.


It was called "shadow devil king". From this name alone it was obvious that it was an extremely powerful creature. There wasn"t even any need to elaborate on it.


And sure enough, when Li Yunmu looked through the abilities and strength results of the shadow devil king, he couldn"t help but take in a deep breath.


Shadow Devil King!


If being factual, the shadow devil king wasn"t as what he had imagined, a being more formidable than the other shadow devils. Instead, it was an ent.i.ty created from the combination of the other five.


In simple terms, the shadow devil king appeared when the five types of shadow devils were fused into one.


First, it possessed a large amount of blood from blood shadow devil and could absorb damage or take the place of the host, dying for them.


Second, it possessed the damage lowering ability of the s.h.i.+eld shadow devil. In other words, it had both superior defense and ability to reduce incoming damage.


Third, it possessed battle shadow devil"s combat strength and superior battle awareness which was even more formidable than that of the shadows.


Fourth, it also possessed the a.s.sa.s.sination and ambus.h.i.+ng techniques of dark shadow devil.


And at last, it had the ability to tear through all the pretenses and reveal the truth like the light shadow devil.


In short, it possessed the abilities of all five shadow devils. Wasn"t that just ridiculous? Monstrous? Heaven-defying?


It was definitely heaven-defying. When all basic shadow devils were combined into one, the strength of that ent.i.ty couldn"t be described with simple words like increase in strength. Instead, only adjectives like enormous increase could be used to a.s.sess its existence.


It could be seen without any doubt that the shadow devil king"s battle prowess was even more formidable than that of Li Yunmu. Moreover, apart from enormous strength, it also possessed extreme vitality and ability to absorb damage meant for others.


If that wasn"t enough, it possessed improved defensive capabilities and high level a.s.sa.s.sination techniques. On top of that, it could see through all traps.


In other words, it could almost be considered as an omnipotent being.
