Chapter 659: Shadow Realm (I.)
A cloud of smoke suddenly erupted from behind Veronica, and the sudden increase in air pressure almost knocked the light girl away, and she rolled on the spot alertly to avoid the impact of the air, but before she could get up, the smoke turned into a hazy and massive claw and grabbed her head.

The "Flashing Ring" was opened in time, and Veronica's figure escaped into the spirit world in a flash, narrowly dodging the smoke claw and grabbing it, and rushing out of the tunnel entrance with a fish leap.
Although Baker's wind spirit has unpredictable supernatural powers, the intelligence attribute is only 6 points, even compared to ordinary people, it is stupid enough, chasing Veronica along the way is always slipped away by her at the moment when she is about to succeed, has lost her mind angrily, all roared in anger, rushed out in a swarm, turned into billowing smoke and surrounded the treacherous and cunning little girl, see where she can run!
Veronica stood outside the smoke-shrouded palace gates, a smile of relief appeared on her face under the veil, and she stayed where she was and did not run away.
Swish! A teleportation enveloped her, and in the next moment, Veronica was displaced by the "Shapeshifting Cloak" to a safe area a hundred feet away, and in her place in the Baker Wind Spirit's encirclement was a tall and handsome young knight armed with a golden heavy sword.
Roland gripped Durandal tightly, the blade of the sword inspired ten feet of golden sword qi, and then attached a layer of silver brilliance symbolizing divine sanctions, and suddenly swung the sword to sweep around, and a thunderous sound exploded, setting off a tornado of sword qi on the ground!
Break the evil slash, the great whirlwind!
Four of the six Baker Wind Spirits gathered within 15 feet of Roland, and were strangled by the sword qi storm, and the air erupted with a blue blood mist, and the originally murderous shouts all turned into panic and sorrow at this moment, trying to escape from the young man who wielded the sword and slashed the wind. However, the whirlwind brought by the sword qi generated a huge gravitational force, firmly sucking their smoke-like weightless bodies into the air and unable to break free.
The vaporized form could have protected them from the damage of the physical weapon, but the heavy sword in Roland's hand was not only a magic weapon, but the sword qi that was stimulated was also a force field effect, and the spirit body and ghost creatures were all cut correctly, and the gasified body could not be spared, and it was slashed to pieces in the blink of an eye.
As soon as the six Baker Wind Spirits saw them, four of them were sent back to the Wind Elemental Plane by Roland's sword, and the remaining two were so frightened that they turned into two wisps of smoke and wanted to drill into the tunnel.
Helena in the air had been waiting for a long time, and her red lips spat out the last chant, and the whirlwind that surrounded her descended, blocking the entrance to the tunnel.
Storm Song, manipulate the wind!
The two Baker Wind Spirits plunged headlong into the whirlwind, and were driven by the air currents to circl and fly, and found that they were unable to break free from the shackles of the wind, and were forced to cancel the vaporization form to restore the entity, and what appeared in front of everyone was two gray-white monsters with hideous faces, spreading their wings behind their backs, desperately fanning to try to get rid of the whirlwind restraints.
It's good that these two guys don't show up, they were originally hidden in the smoke, and it was difficult for anyone except Roland and Helena to see their traces, but now the restored entity has become a living target.
"Still want to run? Let me die here! ”
Nikita waved her hand and blasted into a fireball. At the same time, Bloom's Thunderhammer, Lyudmila's Arrows, and Viglaf's Flaming Dragon's Breath were all attacked. The fire and thunder in front of the gate of the Coral Palace were loud, and after a round of inhumane fires, the two unlucky Baker Wind Spirits were blasted to the point that there was no scum left.
The six Baker Spirits were all wiped out, and silence returned outside the gates of the Sango Palace.
Roland reached out and pressed it on Veronica's back, sending out a "holy healing" to heal the wounds of Miss Ninja, who had worked hard, but fortunately, only a few skin wounds scratched by Baker's wind spirit healed quickly.
Veronica regained her senses, used her ninjutsu to go into stealth, and was the first to go into the tunnel to explore her way. Roland and Helena followed, followed by the rest of their companions.
There is no light in the rugged and narrow tunnel, but fortunately, Nikita's "deep sea transformation" that she has blessed in advance is still working, and you can see the surrounding environment in general with the help of dark vision.
It took twenty minutes to finally get out of the tunnel, and in front of everyone was a dark and heavy stone door.
"This is the gateway to the Hall of Shadows." Helena took out the red crystal key and inserted it into the keyhole next to the door, and whispered to remind her companions to be careful, "The Hall of Shadows is the territory of Kraken's demon general 'Shadow Hunter' Darkwall, this monster is an advanced warlock of the giant Shadow Spider, with a cunning nature, good at hiding in the shadows to assassinate prey, and has the characteristics of a shadow creature, can turn into a virtual body anytime and anywhere, and the arcane enriches her hunting methods." ”
"Shadow Spider Warlock...... Roland thought for a moment, "So how high is this general's Warlock level?" ”
"She can cast 3 rings of arcane magic, and she will always bless herself with mage armor, shields, invisibility, and acceleration before battle, as for the higher level arcane arts...... I don't seem to have seen her do it. ”
"It turns out that the spell casting level is not as good as mine, at most it is only a level 7 warlock, and this ability can also serve as a magic general?" Nikita looked dismissive.
Helena shook her head and said, "It's true that Darkwall is not outstanding in terms of spell-casting ability alone, but the giant shadow spider itself has a combat power that is not inferior to that of a dragon, and Kraken left her and the old black dragon Cassandra to guard the Coral Palace, and it is not only her loyalty that is valued." ”
"In addition to spellcasting abilities and transfiguration bodies, what other abilities do you have that impressed you?" Roland asked.
Helena thought for a moment and said slowly: "Darkwall is the most mysterious of all the demon generals, she seems to be able to enter and exit the Shadow Realm as she wants, often appearing here in the last second, disappearing out of thin air in the blink of an eye, and then reappearing in another place far away, sometimes not appearing in the Shadow Hall for months, I guess the Shadow Hall is just a temporary residence in the Coral Palace, her real lair is located in the mysterious and dark Shadow Realm. ”
After listening to her story, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became extremely solemn.
The so-called "shadow realm", also known as the "shadow plane", is similar to the "spirit realm", and it is also a realm closely connected to the main material plane, and even closer to the main material plane than the spirit realm, just like light and shadow.
The Shadow Realm is a monotonous world with only black and white, there is no sun, there are very few natural light sources, the climate is dry and cold all year round, most places are shrouded in darkness forever, and the darkness of the Shadow Realm is thicker and deeper than the darkness of the main material world, even the dark vision cannot play a role in that environment, and the range illuminated by torches and magic light sources will also be weakened.
Creatures that live in the shadow world all year round are affected by the environment, and their bodies will gradually change until they transform into "shadow creatures", and eventually even their blood will become black as ink.
It is difficult for ordinary people to survive in such a strange environment for a long time, so most of the people who enter and leave the Phantom Realm are spellcasters, mainly travelers who pass through the Phantom Realm to other planes, and there are also mages and warlocks who focus on studying Phantom spells, trying to absorb the Phantom Energy to strengthen their own magic.
