Martín Fábila is an Argentine professional footballer.

  Ams organization only knows three kinds of people: his underlings, his colleagues, and his superiors. This strict secrecy network ensures the safety of the organization, and any captured member can only betray a limited number of people.

  So when Big Brother told him to come and take orders from a man named Cartwright, he did, joining this godforsaken mission.

  As teammates kept dying, everyone knew how terrifying this mission was.

  A strict organizational system still dominated his nerves and intellect.

  As a profession skilled in scouting and searching, he has too many methods to avoid sudden dangers. Even among the main skills of Anm Shadow Thief, there is a [Master of Evasive Maneuvers] skill that prevents the shadow thief from being ambushed by opponents - unless the opponent is a profession with ambush ability, and the level is not less than 4 levels or higher than the shadow thiefs profession level.

  Despite this, he still fell for it: one moment he was just passing through a shadow shrouded by the dark stone, and the next second he suddenly found himself in a desolate black wasteland.

  Some black fragments were blown up by the strong wind, hitting Martins feet. But Martin couldnt tell whether it was marble debris or just plain black soil. The sky above his head was a starless darkness, and after staying in the shadow for more than five hours, his whole body seemed to have completely lost its temperature, with icy cold and stiff hands and feet, a kind of daze that made him wonder if he was still alive.

  Just as Martin thought the strange feeling would soon disappear and he could see his teammates familiar faces and the monotonously unchanged black soil again, he suddenly found himself unable to move.

  A gigantic human figure had his limbs tied up with a strange rope.

  The eerie flames at the position of human eye sockets reminded Martin of devils in hell.

  "He had just shouted out a single word when a sharp, conical object pierced his chin and went straight into his brain."

  His bodys dying convulsions lasted less than three seconds before stopping. Until his death, he did not understand why his 【Masterful Evasion】did not take effect.

  He couldnt have known, as Raven was manipulating the strings through their soul connection. Ravens surprise attack skill combined with Strings first strike directly negated his "Master of Evasive Maneuvers".

  The Shadow Thief is dead, and Raven was eagerly waiting for the system prompt to collect experience.

  For five whole seconds, no one responded.

  Levin suddenly realized that in the Shadow Realm, there was only one ritual that could snatch away the souls of humans who had just died - the Shadow Festival.

  Shadow pearls are naturally produced. Raven had heard that shadow pearls of sufficient strength would choose their own masters.

  In cases where there are multiple choices, Shadow Pearls choice is also simple: just choose the one that survives.

  On the other hand, the offerings can only be people who also possess shadow energy. The more offerings there are and the better their quality, the greater the chance that the Shadow Pearl will evolve into a higher-level treasure.

  Its clear that Shadow Pearl is now acting on its own will, treating all shadow energy beings who enter its territory as candidates.

  Since he didnt have any experience in killing, this guy could only be taken advantage of cheaply then.

  Raven rummaged carefully through Martins belongings, took what she wanted and then called out to the others.

  After eating a rope, Raven re-chased Ellison.

  He watched with relish as the team sank into unrest and tension.

  Eriol and they still dont know how Martin disappeared.

  Lei Wen actually despises this.

  His technique was nothing more than a worthless trick - its actually just the 【Shadow Jump】 that all high-level wanderers use every day.

  On the mainland of Azeroth, [Shadowstep] is to temporarily enter the shadow plane, achieving the purpose of shuttling a short distance on the main plane.

  And in the shadow plane, this is using the strange property of as long as the shadow area is roughly equal and the shadow nature is the same can shuttle.

  The requirement for roughly equal shadow areas is that the difference in shadow area between two blocks cannot exceed ten percent.

  In theory, its simple... just make sure the two shadow colors are consistent. But in practice, its difficult because there are 256 levels of black in the shadow plane. To perform a "shadow jump", the two shadows must be at the same level, otherwise youll end up smashing your head.

  How can this group of rookies led by Elrond possibly surpass Lelouch, a former top-notch assassin?

  Levin was almost openly raiding, but Ellison had no way to stop it. The high priest watched helplessly as his subordinates were one by one tied up and dragged away by ropes that suddenly appeared out of the shadows.

  Its almost like catching one in ten.

  In just 15 minutes, all five Anm thieves were finished off.

  However, problems arose when dealing with more advanced enemies.

  Cheng Yis speed was fundamentally unable to catch up with the old thief and that cunning master. These two wandering Silver Rankers were not inferior to Cheng Yi, relying on their superior agility and [Proficient Instinctive Evasion] ability, they dodged every time they were about to be hit.

  Even if you get caught occasionally, its nothing to be afraid of. The old thiefs escape technique is frighteningly high, and the trickster uses a mess of things to offset the attack of the rope.

  As for Ellison, its even more troublesome. Not to mention that Carterick who has been holding back all this time. Just those two Dark Guards alone are enough to give him a headache.

  These two Dark Guardians are also quite bizarre. When the Dark Guardian is level 5, they can summon a Hell Servant. The choices of these two guys were surprisingly consistent, both chose the Hell Bat.

  This guy who eats with ultrasonic waves gave Dark Knight Superman a first-class neural reaction. The rope of the rope hadnt even flown onto his body when it was opened by Dark Knights superb swordsmanship.

  The black moon in the sky is not fixed, and the shining light will also change constantly, indirectly making Ravens sneak attack have a time limit. For safety, Raven absolutely dare not use a shadow for more than 3 seconds. Otherwise, the enemys main force will jump over along that shadow, and it will be a big deal.

  So far, Raven has been using the policy of one strike and immediate retreat.

  As time went on, Raven also got a bit of a headache.

  As you get closer to the center of Shadow Valley, it wont just be Raven who can Shadow Jump. Keep messing around like this and something will go wrong.

  On the other side, Elricson and others also started adapting to Ravens attack.

  Charlie the Trickster brought up the possibility of Shadow Jumping: "I think we can counter-kill. As long as there are two people chasing after him at the same time, we can hold down that Raven and his Strangling Demon Image. [Shadow Jump] on the main plane is at most 50 meters away. So in the shadow plane, I estimate its also no more than 500 meters."

  "Its 485 meters." Katrik, who had been silent the whole time and hadnt even participated in the discussion, suddenly spoke up.

  Everyone present was somewhat stunned.

  Erlin was surprised in his heart. He knew Cartericks character best. Carterick opening his mouth meant that he had absolute confidence.

  Eryndor Thorne grasped Katrielles hand firmly and said heavily: "Then its up to you."

  Catherine nodded and then looked at the two Dark Guards, instructing them: "The masters safety is in your hands."

  The guard nodded.

  The old thiefs turbid eyes narrowed into a line: "Are you sure?"

  "Its just a Black Iron stage brat and a White Silver stage demon. By the time you arrive, you can come to collect their corpses." Kartik snorted coldly, elegantly drawing out two gleaming curved knives, the dark light reflecting off the eerie moonlight, casting a string of chilly residual shadows.

  "Here it comes!?"

  That was a surprise attack from a small stone the size of a palm at the bottom of the foot, and the rope shot out like an octopus monsters pounce.

  However, Catrike barely made a light misstep and dodged the rope in the nick of time. In less than one-tenth of a second, he jumped into that shadow like a diver.

  Its a very strange feeling for someone as big as that to jump into a black shadow the size of a palm and disappear without hesitation.

  Eryndor Thorne even thought he would never adapt, so Ketric is a fierce melee profession, while Eryndor will always be a murderous church priest who can only hide behind the vanguard and throw spells.

  Eryndor was confident, he didnt think for a moment that his strongest warrior would lose to Raven and that broken golem.

  As an assassin, unless you dont plan on going back, you should retreat immediately if the first strike doesnt hit. This approach of frequently launching attacks but having no effect is absolutely foolish.

  Of course, if this is a trap, then its a different story.

  How could such a vast shadowy valley possibly be inhabited by only Raven and Ellisons two groups?

  The moment Catrike jumped into that shadowy space, he found many, many pairs of shining eyes staring at him.

  Will lightning and rope add up to more than four eyes?

  Impossible!

  So Cartwright knew he had been swindled.

  Those were over a dozen enormous, terrifying wolves with black fur and huge claws. In the center of their heads was a short, thick, wide wolf mouth, its teeth faintly shining with a pearl-like blue light.

  In the shadow plane, of course, there will be no ordinary wolves. The essence of these wolves is that of large magical beasts.

  When Catrike recognized that these wolves were Bronze-tier Phantom Hounds, his face lost all its color.

  "Ah! I told you that rope was for fishing, but you didnt believe me. Look, its caught something now!"

  "This is a man, not a fish! Idiot!"

  "Hmm, anyway we havent had a harvest in three days, how about we hunt some humans?"

  "I smell more human scent on this human being, and the standard is not bad."

  "Its settled then, change of target! Lets go hunt down humans!"

  These bizarre magical beasts speaking a universal language gave Kartik no room for rebuttal, directly targeting Kartik.

  Catherine didnt say another word and turned back immediately.

  Originally Eriksen was ecstatic, ready to welcome his triumphant Warriors, but just a few seconds later he saw Carterick retreat in disarray.

  "What?!"

  "Dark Hound!!" Along with Katriks loud shout, a dozen or so giant wolf-like creatures leapt out of the shadows.
