The ritual of devouring the shadow must be performed in a dark environment, otherwise the summoned shadow creatures will not survive at all.

Qin Yu knew a lot about this kind of place, and he often encountered a similar environment when he carried out expulsion missions in the past, so he directly teleported the four of them to a pitch-black cave.

"Okay, what's next?" Qin Yu looked at the dark environment around him and asked Liu Wei.

Liu Wei said: "This scroll records a summoning ritual that summons creatures from the Shadow Dimension. ”

"Are you sure? Summoning is something you assassins can do too? ”

Qin Yu couldn't help but ask, no wonder he had this question, generally speaking, assassins are physical professions, how can spells be used.

That Liu Wei nodded: "I'm very sure, according to the content recorded on the scroll, this summoning ritual does not belong to magic, but a sacrificial ritual, as long as there is spiritual power, it can be carried out, but there must be strong enough spiritual power when summoning, if one person can't do it, you can gather many people to summon." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll draw a summoning circle first."

As Liu Wei spoke, he drew a summoning circle on the ground.

The summoning circle of this Shadow Dimension creature feels like a cult ritual, and the circle must be drawn with blood, and the creature's heart needs to be used as a sacrifice, but considering the background of the Shadow Brotherhood, it is not very strange.

Soon the summoning circle was drawn, and Liu Wei said, "Next, we have to gather around the summoning circle to summon, the shadow creatures are afraid of the sun, so we can use the light to enclose a cage around it." ”

This is very simple, a few flashlights and Qin Yu's lighting technique are hung overhead, and there is light all around, only a shadow covered by a rock in the middle of the circle, so that the shadow creatures will hide inside and be unable to move after being summoned.

"Alright, let's get started, by the way, do you have any spiritual equipment to lend me a few?"

The three of them put on all the equipment that can enhance their mental power to Liu Wei, the diamond ring of the White Queen, the diamond necklace of the White Queen, Qi Jianfei also got a bottle of clear thinking potion for Liu Wei out of nowhere, and drank the potion after wearing the equipment, so that Liu Wei's spiritual power suddenly improved a lot, far beyond ordinary people.

"This time, right?"

Liu Wei nodded, he was already a little impatient.

The next step is to officially start summoning creatures of the Shadow Dimension, although the Shadow Brotherhood is not a professional mage organization, but there have been some scholar-type characters, who, after repeated research, have found an easy way to summon creatures of the Shadow Dimension, but only the weakest creatures of the Shadow Dimension.

The four of them gathered around the summoning circle, and Liu Wei began to recite the prayer -

[A small existence from the Shadow Dimension.]

O disembodied beings, no sanity, afraid of the light, lurking in darkness.

In the name of the pact you made with the Shadow Brotherhood in ancient times.

Listen to my call and enter this world. 】

As Liu Wei recited the last incantation, a black ball appeared out of thin air in the center of the summoning circle, like a wormhole, a cloud of black smoke came out of it, and a black humanoid shadow gradually appeared in front of the four people.

That's right, it's a shadow creature, but compared to the shadow demon I saw in the cave at the beginning, the shadow creature in front of me is undoubtedly much weaker, only more than a meter tall, fluttering as if a gust of wind can blow it away.

Due to the lights around them, the black shadow creatures were trapped in the shadows by the light, panicked but with nowhere to dodge.

"Alright, I'm on!" Liu Wei said, and walked straight into the darkness, the surrounding lights were still converging, so that the shadow creatures that had nowhere to hide could only hide in Liu Wei's body.

The battle between the two immediately began.

This is a contest of wills, and Qin Yu and the others can't help much.

But fortunately, due to the blessing of equipment and potions, Liu Wei's spiritual power is still very strong, and it took almost no effort, and he easily defeated the shadow creature and completed the ceremony.

System Hint: You've successfully defeated the Shadow Creature, you've gained a new core skill, Shadow Mastery, and your class has progressed to Shadow Assassin.

"It worked!" Liu Wei said excitedly, he stretched out a hand, and darkness appeared in his hand, "I now have the ability of some shadow creatures!" ”

"It's as simple as that?" Qin Yu asked with some surprise, "Are you sure you have won?" ”

Liu Wei nodded, "That's for sure, the system prompts are ringing, and that shadow creature is really weak, I don't feel like I have any consciousness at all, it's just an energy body that acts on instinct, I didn't have much effort to defeat its will, and now it has become one with me, and it completely listens to me." ”

Saying that, Liu Wei also sent out his newly learned skills.
