After looking at the data of the first rope, and comparing it with the previous one, Leven was a bit stunned.

  He also learned for the first time that the demon statue could be replaced with a new shell and continue to be used. The divine power is really sharp. But why can Laila, as the goddess of illusion, handle this kind of thing?

  Lei Wén thought for a moment, it should be the mist in the original skull frame of the Shadow Steel Statue. The mist is Laila's domain. The mist of the Shadow Steel Statue is estimated to be its core, so Laila had the opportunity to use her divine power.

  The current Sheng Yi is completely made up of three destroyed Shadow Steel Statue black metal fragments, and because of the goddess's magical aesthetics, this thing no longer looks like a Shadow Steel Statue.

  Like a female version of Darth Vader. Instead of a skull head, it's replaced with a full-face helmet, and on the forehead part of the helmet are two decorative V-shaped antennae.

  The upper body is a slender inverted triangle full black armor, with the inscription of the misty lady on it. The shoulder armor seems to be made up of three layers of black flower petals, giving Raven a sense of emptiness and reality.

  His arms were roughly the same as before, but his wrists had changed. Originally, they were simple and brutal with a skull-shaped palm and claw-like fingertips. Now, the claws had transformed into human-shaped metal palms, with an additional pair of Wolverine-like claws at the wrists.

  The lower body had added a crotch armor, only from the thigh became like a pair of black double-edged broadswords, and the calf also lost its original claws, turning into two slender swords for thrusting.

  As it evolved into a giant, its height became nearly 3.5 meters, and the total weight of the entire magic statue soared to 3000 catties.

  Although extremely heavy, the black metal all over the body is extremely rare shadow liquid tempered steel forged from fire, and all shadow steel is supported by the power of darkness. As long as there is a shadow within a range of 30 meters, it can rely on the mysterious power of the shadow surface to float and spin on the ground like a ghost, silently and soundlessly.

  More importantly, its massive body can hide in any shadow without leaving a trace.

  "This name 'Chō' no longer suits me now, Master, please give me a new one."

  In the soul connection, the rope conveyed such information.

  "Hmm, this... you're already a Shadow Steel Maiden. So let's call it Shadow Killer then." Raven actually wanted to change its name to Mourner Witch or MK II.

  Thought about it, too discordant, forget it.

  "Thank you, Master, for giving me a name. From this moment on, I will be called Shadow Killer."

  "When nothing's happening, just hide in my shadow."

  "Yes."

  Lei Wen asked a lot of questions, but only a few were answered by the Shadow Killer. For things it didn't know, its reaction was just silence.

  Even so, Raven was very satisfied. The Shadow Killer's current strength is probably mid-Golden Rank. With it by his side, he could almost walk sideways below the Golden Rank.

  On the other hand, Shadow Kill is also fragile. Even the simplest evocation spell, Dancing Lights (0-level spell, can create 4 light balls or magical torches within a range of 3 meters), may greatly weaken its connection to the shadow plane. It cannot absorb shadow power through its own shadow, and once it appears in an environment without shadows, its extremely high weight becomes a huge burden, falling to the ground and becoming immobile, making it an easy target.

  Of course, if fate is favorable, even legendary strongmen can be assassinated in secret.

  The problem with the demon statue has been solved, and it's time for the happy corpse-touching again.

  The Phantom Goddess took away Ellison's soul, where to go and whip the iron virgin to serve what, Raven can't manage. However, the good things left by Ellison cannot be uncollected.

  The pastor of the church is notorious for being wealthy. Having committed many murders and robberies, it's no wonder his purse is bulging.

  First was Ellison's storage ring, a full 10 cubic meters of hyperspace, capable of holding no more than three tons of inanimate objects.

  Levin immediately stripped off the suit of armor worth a city from Elson. After messing around for half a day, he finally discovered Elson's perverted nature and wondered where this former slave trader got his physique from, as he was wearing more than one suit of armor.

  Outside is a set of golden stairs made of secret silver armor, in the middle is a set of all-made golden chain mail, and inside there is also a set of fire lizard skin made of leather armor.

  These three sets of things together will absolutely not be less than 200 kilograms, not to mention that sick tower shield, which is at least 40 kilograms.

  It's really a waste for Ellison not to become a barbarian.

  As an assassin, armor heavier than leather is unwearable. Wearing it would greatly reduce agility and affect movement. Raven at most reforged the fire lizard skin into a heavy suit and wore it, but now this thing is too big, on her half-elf slender body, wearing this is no different from carrying a turtle shell.

  With limited time, Raven hastily poured all of Ellison's personal belongings into the storage ring, making sure not to miss anything, and then set off with Shadow.

  The Phantom Goddess has done her part, now it's Raven's turn to reap what she has sown.

  The Shadow Plane is a mysterious place.

  As long as the will of the plane is recognized, even a shadow pearl can invoke the power of the plane to condense and create a shadow festival, thereby manipulating space to create a dueling arena for candidates.

  Levin hadn't gone far when a shadowy figure seemed to clear a path for him.

  On both sides was an invisible black abyss, with only a dark gray dirt road leading straight to an altar that continuously spewed out black fog. On the half-meter square altar, a deep and mysterious black pearl was constantly swaying, as if trying to break free from the shallow mist surrounding it.

  At this time, the system prompt came.

  "Are you sure to follow the will of Phantom Goddess Laila, erase the self-consciousness of Shadow Orb, so that Shadow Orb will permanently lose the opportunity to advance to Legendary, and the souls collected in Shadow Festival will be released. You will miss a chance to greatly enhance your body."

  Levin resolutely chose 'yes, erase'. This seemingly beautiful thing is similar to the devil's contract. The price of rapid advancement in a short period of time is permanent loss of self. Either sell your soul or become a neither-human-nor-ghost creature.

  "A screech—like fingernails on glass—pierced Raven's eardrums."

  It seems to be cursing Raven, but unfortunately, its opponent is a god.

  Laila's divine power easily suppressed the Shadow Orb, which only had a golden peak. This time, the Shadow Orb, which was only the size of a gold coin, no longer trembled and quietly waited on the altar for Raven's disposal.

  Outsiders wouldn't understand how to handle the Shadow Pearl. If someone actually swallowed it, that would be suicidal. The surging shadow energy would instantly erode all biological tissues in the body. Within an hour at most, a person would be transformed into a complete shadow creature.

  Some people have also tried to dig out a small piece of flesh from their chest, attempting to slowly absorb the power of the Shadow Pearl through the flushing of blood day and night. However, this is the second version of courting death. That person's heart cannot withstand the cold negative energy, turning into a zombie.

  The real way to deal with it is at any positive hour after midnight, aim at the black moon in the shadowy sky, and then throw the shadow pearl into your own shadow behind you.

  Shadow Pearl, of course, will play its greatest role in the shadows.

  Just in time.

  The black moon rose eerily behind Raven, who watched as his own shadow slowly shrank before him.

  As the shadow was about to be the same size as himself, Raven took a deep breath, savoring the coolness of the shadow, recalling the various magical skills brought by the shadow energy in his previous life. He tossed the Shadow Pearl high into the air and threw it into his own shadow at the moment when his shadow and body were the same size.

  "Plop!" Like a drop of ink falling into an inkwell, Raven's figure rippled with dark waves. Immediately the entire shadow churned and surged like boiling water.

  It was like this for a full ten seconds before everything fell silent once again.

  System prompt has arrived:

  "Congratulations, you have successfully used the Golden Tier Shadow Pearl to perfectly unlock the Shadow Energy Slot in the Shadow Realm."

  "Your current shadow energy is 128/128. Outside of Shadow Realm, your shadow energy recovers by 2 points every 5 seconds."

  "You have acquired the specialty [Shadow Walk] - Shadows are your friends, and your footsteps seem to be a whisper of death. You can move at normal speed without incurring penalties on Stealth and Hide checks."

  "Due to the existence of Shadow Pearl, your perception in any dark environment +5 points, investigation +30 points, and dark vision +30 meters. Your Shadow Steel Phantom's actual power will slowly increase if it is affected by Shadow Pearl for a long time."

  The following items are surprises, but the most important thing is still the opening of the Shadow Energy Slot.

  At this moment, Raven's tears almost burst out: It's really not easy! From level 5 to now, I finally have a shadow skill! The previous castrated version of the assassin was so hard! Now my brother is finally a complete assassin!

  Suddenly, the system prompt came again:

  "Excuse me, have you activated the Soul Weapon - Shadow Moon Blade's continuous quest?"
