The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 80: The Ritual of Valtore

Hearing this, Annan lowered his head and looked at the ring in his hand.

This is a gold ring. It does not have a flat ring structure, but is composed entirely of two snakes entwined together.

It looks like two snakes biting each other and being shaped by liquid gold... full of wildness and chaos.

When Annan looked at it, the specific properties of this ring appeared in front of his eyes——

【Vatorre's Ritual·Shadow in Shadow】

[Type: Accessories (gold)]

[Description: A curse created from the "shadow" of Kafni and created by the hands of Salvatore's "shadow" can only exist in the light. Some divine materials are also added to it, and it seems that just placing it in a room can turn any weather in a city into cloudy weather]

[Effect: Continuously absorb excess light within two kilometers around to charge ()]

[Effect: Consume one charge to summon "Shadow Demon"; consume two charges to use the Silver-level idol spell "Powerful Dispel Curse"; consume three charges to use the Silver-level shaping spell "Illusion" "Shaping·Extreme Heat Beam"; consume six charges and use the gold-level command spell "Law: Dissolve"; consume all the charges and use the gold-level prophet spell "Omen of Death: Emergency Teleportation"]

[Price: It must always be placed in the light, otherwise it will be permanently transformed into a living creature after remaining in a lightless environment for nine hours]

"This is..."

Annan's pupils shrank slightly, he paused and changed his words: "Is it alive?"

"As expected of you, Annan."

Salvatore showed a proud smile: "You can really see it... Don't worry, it does not use any living materials. It is a life created from 'dead things'."

"Isn't Kafni's shadow a living thing?"

"Of course not."

Salvatore shrugged: "Even if it is an activated, tangible shadow, it is just a shadow. After Her Majesty the Queen agreed, I used the 'Shadow Cutting Ceremony' to remove part of Her Majesty's The activated shadow serves as the material for the spell.

"This is also its main effect - it only takes one hour of charging to summon the 'Shadow Demon' from the shadow of Her Highness Kafni."

Salvatore showed a rather proud smile: "During this process, Her Highness Kafni will only be aware of this, but will not be drained of her power.

"Shadows are born from light. If there is no light, there is only chaotic darkness... In other words, the 'shadow demon' summoned through this ritual actually uses the 'light' in the ring as its material , a new shadow demon created based on the ability of Her Highness Kafeni.

"Because Mr. Yao's holy number is eight, 'counting to eight will overflow with light', so the duration of any ability in the 'shadow realm' is not allowed to exceed eight hours. Therefore, it can exist for up to seven hours. Fifty-nine minutes...Basically, it only needs to be charged for three hours a day to maintain the summoning state throughout the day."

Annan nodded.

He knows this.

This is also the reason why normal people in this world generally only need eight hours of sleep.

"But, this ability..."

The young man Hugo on the side looked at Salvatore in surprise as if he had realized something.

And Isaac blurted out: "Isn't this - divine magic?"

The curse created by Salvatore has entered the realm of gods in a sense.

Use part of the power as a "channel" to borrow the opponent's power... It is not like the output of fluid, transferring from one side to the other. It's like borrowing a more advanced computer to send part of the data, obtain the calculation results, and then send it back.

And this is the mode in which priests use divine magic!

But...

"Why Shadow Demon?"

Annan asked this question: "Kafni's shadow... in my impression, is probably the level of dealing with a silver-level transcendent."

"That is already in the past. After all, Your Majesty is actually half a year younger than you. During the time when you became stronger, I also watched Your Majesty Kafni become stronger little by little."

Salvatore chuckled: "You must not know that two months ago, Her Majesty the Queen...oh, she was not the Queen at that time - she directly killed a Silver-level assassin."

"... Speaking of which, Kafni's erosion rate was indeed a bit high at that time."

Annan nodded thoughtfully.

The path of depravity is a cultivation path in which curses constantly erode and alienate the body.

Although it is not necessarily true that the higher the corrosiveness, the stronger it is... but in the process of becoming stronger, the corrosiveness will inevitably increase.

If Kaifuni’s erosion was not increased due to nightmares or the use of disorder abilities...

"At that time, Her Majesty Kafni's power was actually close to the gold level."

Salvatore explained: "If it was the previous His Majesty, then probably he could only be killed with shadows."

"I remember."

Annan nodded: "Kafni's profession is the Dragon Capturing Monk, and she is particularly good at grappling attacks."

The Fallen is a fork in the road from the Bronze Steps... There is no "Silver Step" in this process. If it can be completely transformed into a demon, it will be considered the same level as the gold level. As long as you can continue to live, you can gain stronger and stronger power as time goes by.

But this does not mean that the fallen will immediately become gold-level.

Rather, in this process of gradually becoming stronger, there will be no obvious class. In other words... anyone can suddenly become stronger before becoming completely demonized without being blocked by a "bottleneck".

"Just two months ago, His Majesty's shadow ability has evolved quite strongly - the assassin was not captured by the tentacles turned into shadows, but was instantly penetrated by spikes.

"At that time, the assassin was still sneaking. He escaped into the shadow... and when his shadow came into contact with His Majesty's shadow, the shadow that originally contained him instantly rejected him and At the same time, it turned into countless stalactite-like sharp spikes... directly piercing him.

"Or it can be said that the soft and strong tentacles can already become sharper. So even if Annan is not as powerful as Kaifuni, it still has a considerable effect...More Needless to say, the 'light' you can give it will be stronger, which will make its texture stronger."

Salvatore said seriously: "You are about to go underground - although I have never been there, I also know that it is a lawless area. Even a serial murderer, as long as he can escape and be wanted The city will also be regarded as an innocent person who has not committed any crime.

"In such a vicious place, it is inevitable that some villains will appear. And without strong sunlight, the ability of the stealth system will not be easily dispelled. Even if you have the ability to dispel invisibility~IndoMTL.com~, it will not be possible all the time. Maintain. In that case, the identity will be exposed first and may attract more ill will.

"I made this ring especially for you. It can absorb the excess light from your body... In this way, as long as you don't enter a fighting state, you will look like an ordinary person.

"The shadow demon summoned by using it can usually hide in your shadow and protect you as an early warning at critical moments - any enemy who tries to sneak up on you from the shadow plane will be attacked by it. And drag it out directly."

"...That's it."

Annan suddenly realized.

In fact, the "price" of this ring is its true ability. When Annan needs it, he can absorb the light from himself... to disguise himself. The anti-stealth capability is actually just an added bonus...

After all, Annan is a gold-level transcendent of the wizard family.

His perception attribute is extremely powerful. As long as you dare to look at Annan, even if you sneak into another world, Annan may not be able to detect you.

However, considering that there is a difference between having an active anti-submarine summon and having a passive anti-invisibility ability.

"It is indeed thoughtful."

Annan nodded: "Thank you, Senior Sister Vatore."

The smile on Salvatore's face suddenly froze.

A mouth opened on his arm, and he couldn't help laughing: "Let me tell you, Annan will definitely find out that I did it!"
