The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 706 Dream World 44
Moran looked in the direction Martina was pointing.

The light and shadow in that area were like torn silk, with the sunlight filtering through the cracks in the rocks cutting sharp golden lines into the stone slabs, dividing the shadowy boundary into countless tiny fragments.

These scattered shadows are mostly only the thickness of a finger, and cannot contain a complete shadow at all.

To navigate such an environment, one needs not only ample shadow power to protect one's own shadow, but also extremely precise control.

Because the shape of the shadow must be changed at any time in order to pass through the gaps in the light and hide in the broken shadows.

The slightest misstep will result in the shadow being cut by the light, causing one to fall directly out of the shadow world.

Seeing her silence, Martina's lips curled into a wicked smile: "What? Scared?"

Moran gently shook her head.

In her view, this was much simpler than Blue Star agents traversing the laser network, since an agent's physical body could not deform freely like a shadow body enveloped by a shadow.

In theory, as long as the calculations are accurate, even the narrowest shadow path can become a thoroughfare.

She gazed at the area, sketching out the best route in her mind.

Then the shadow suddenly sped along the ground, and just before it touched the first ray of white light, it suddenly "stretched" and thinned, like a stretched ribbon, deftly gliding through the gap in the light.

"Wow!" Dani's exclamation came from afar, "She's turned into a shadow snake!"

The subsequent movement was as smooth as flowing water.

Moran sometimes compresses the shadow into thin lines, and sometimes unfolds it into a thin film, dancing a dangerous dance at the boundary between light and darkness.

Once, when she almost touched the light, she instantly split her shadow into two, which, like forked streams, bypassed the obstacle and then rejoined in a safe place.

With each extreme leap, the tacit understanding between her and her shadow deepened, and controlling the shadow gradually became as natural as controlling her own limbs.

When Moran finally re-formed in the shadow of the target, he even felt a sense of lingering satisfaction.

Martina should have followed immediately, but she remained standing still.

She was enveloped in shadows, her entire body pitch black, making it impossible to see her expression. But only she knew how shocked she was inside.

Although the children in the village were all taught by their parents and elders, Moran was the first student she taught. However, she had studied on her own when she was young and knew how difficult it was to be able to jump so smoothly in an area of ​​variegated light and shadow and easily change the shape of her shadow on her first try.

She recalled that when she first tried to travel through light and shadow, the shadow of her left arm was cut off by the light on her first jump. She cried all night because of the pain, and her mother had to repair it for her with the shadow insects she raised.

Even so, she was once hailed as a genius that was a once-in-a-century talent in the clan.

Moran, on the other hand, only became a member of the Shadow Clan today and came into contact with the power of shadow!
This is amazing!
Are all adventurers underestimated?

Martina thought of those adventurers who were as clumsy as puppets in the shadow world and who spoke of the Shadow Clan as a race that couldn't see the light of day. She shook her head silently: "No, it's this little monster that's special!"

“Teacher Martina!” Moran’s voice pulled her back to reality.

She has passed through the light barrier and returned to Martina's side.

“Not bad.” Martina gave a dry evaluation. Her personality prevented her from saying anything more nice. She could only continue to elevate her understanding of this student and teach her more: “However, there is no shadow without light. A true shadow hunter does not hide from the light. Only by learning how to turn the light into his cloak and move through the light can he be considered to be able to move freely in the shadow world.”

Before she finished speaking, her shadow suddenly sprang up, like a giant beast awakening and lunging at the nearest ray of sunlight. At the moment of contact, countless tiny vortices appeared on the surface of the shadow, and the light that should have scorched the shadow was gradually swallowed up and transformed, eventually becoming the flowing white patterns on the surface of the shadow.

“It’s your turn, little monster.” Martina’s voice was filled with unprecedented anticipation, and even the children who were hiding in the shadows and peeking held their breath in surprise. Grandma Martina had never spoken to any child in such a tone before.

Moran gazed at the dappled battlefield of light and shadow.

This is the real test.

It's not about avoiding, it's about conquering.

It's not about fear, but about turning it into our own use.

Fortunately, Moran had done her homework beforehand.

Among the skill books traded with the Federation, there is one called "Professional Skills Book - The Glowing," which discusses related content.

Although he was still a Spirit Transformation Clan member and unable to put it into practice at the time, he had already memorized the key points of the theory.

When traversing the world of shadows, the light zone is always the biggest obstacle.

To move freely, Shadow Hunters must master the skills to deal with various light zones.

The most common approach is to find connected shadow paths and navigate around the light areas like a maze.

However, this method is not foolproof. In some places, the shadows are cut into pieces and there is no way to avoid them. Only by facing the light can we move forward.

Using shadow armor to directly withstand the light is certainly feasible, but the drawbacks are also obvious. Not only will it quickly consume precious shadow power, but it will also leave obvious traces when passing through, revealing one's position.

The "light-draping" technique that Martina just demonstrated is a truly advanced skill.

It is not about resisting the light, but about taming it; not about being burned, but about using the power of shadow to transform the light into armor of shadow.

The power of shadow is never purely the power of dark elements. There is shadow only when there is light. It is the energy generated when dark and light elements intertwine, and theoretically it can drive a small amount of light!

"Light and shadow are two sides of the same coin. A true master of shadow must learn to control light with shadow..."

At this moment, combined with Martina's on-site demonstration, Moran gradually had a clear idea in his mind: those golden rays were not enemies, but energy that could be "digested" by the power of shadow.

The key lies in controlling the flow frequency of the shadow's power, causing the surface of the shadow to form a fine vortex structure, like countless greedy little mouths, tearing, devouring, and transforming the light bit by bit.

Moran guided the shadow power, transformed from magic, towards the surface of the shadow, imagining it transforming into a porous sieve...

As she focused her mind, she felt her shadow begin to undergo subtle changes.

The surface ripples with water-like patterns, and upon closer inspection, those ripples are actually composed of countless rotating shadow vortexes.

The vortices maintain a perfect balance with each other, neither interfering with each other nor obscuring every inch of the shadow.

She glided into the light and stood there steadily. The light tried to pull her away from the shadow world, but the vortex of shadow swallowed it up and turned it into light that protected itself, making her one with the light.

Outside the world of shadows, no one could tell that a person was hidden inside this ball of light.
