Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 224: Shadow Raven and New Vest

The moment the "Mist Hidden Raven" Fog Night was summoned, a deep and dark fog began to spread rapidly in the room. "Fog Night" and the countless "fog shadows" that split from it immediately occupied every corner of the room.

This time, there was no need for Luo Xiu to give any orders. The "Mist-Hidden Raven" Wu Ye and its mist shadows quickly noticed the Crazy Demon Crystal on the ground.

This "Thousand-Faced Shadow Demon" mad magic crystal has black inlaid lines inside, and deep and dim dark light is flowing repeatedly in it.

From the perspective of Wu Ye, the "Mist Hidden Raven", that is food that exudes deadly temptation. The abilities of "Thousand-Faced Shadow Demon" and "Mist Hidden Raven" are quite similar. The desire to devour and digest this magic crystal core is gradually taking over Wu Ye's instincts.

"Go ahead, Foggy Night."

Luo Xiu sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "Go and devour it, digest it, and control it. This is the food prepared for you."

"——Gah!" A whistle suddenly came from the thick fog of ravens. The next moment, the thick fog that originally filled the room quickly gathered, and they all pounced on the "prey" and tightly wrapped the Crazy Evil Crystal into a ball.

In Luo Xiu's "spiritual vision", the Thousand-Faced Shadow Demon's mad crystal was melting at an extremely fast speed and was gradually restored to its original spiritual state.

And those spiritualities were absorbed by Wu Ye without a single drop left. Its aura was also rising rapidly, and soon it reached an important node of sublimation.

——Buzz! Suddenly, a sharp sound like a whistle came from the "Mist Hidden Raven" and the black fog it was filled with. The "Mad Evil Crystal" had been completely swallowed, digested, and absorbed by Wu Ye, and completely transformed into the power he possessed.

Just like when Fenrir's race was sublimated, several dark purple spiritual threads gushed out from the black mist woven by Misty Night, and lingered around its body, wrapping it into a huge cocoon.

New life forms are being nurtured and sublimated within it. Luo Xiu can feel that Wu Ye's spiritual level is undergoing an essential leap.

Finally, when the spiritual aura stopped rising, fine cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the giant cocoon.

The cocoon shell peeled off piece by piece, and thicker, deeper, and darker black fog gushed out from the gaps.

In the next moment, the cocoon covered by the dark spirituality was completely shattered, and the "Fog Night" and its foggy shadows suddenly spread and quickly occupied every corner of the room.

The already dim bedroom suddenly became even darker. At the moment when Wu Ye emerged from his cocoon, Luo Xiu also learned the name of his race after it was sublimated.

——"Shadow Raven"! It is now "Shadow Raven" Misty Night!
In the black fog that filled the entire room, Luo Xiu's sight penetrated the fog and saw the raven's true form.

The original Fog Night was just an abyss beast born from fog and with the appearance of a fog crow, but now it has the essence of a "shadow", and its spiritual surge has become more restrained, making it more difficult to distinguish it from other fog shadows.

A layer of phantom shadow was floating on its surface at this moment, which greatly reduced its existence. If Luo Xiu was not the master of its contract, it would be difficult to glimpse its true origin.

Luo Xiu then opened the panel and detected the "Shadow Raven" in the foggy night, and new content soon appeared on the panel.

"hiss……"

After quickly browsing the panel of "Shadow Raven" Wu Ye, Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just like when Fenrir was sublimated, Fog Night has also been strengthened unprecedentedly. Its various attributes have been qualitatively improved, and it has also obtained two very critical inherent skills.

"Shadow Crow" makes Wu Ye's reconnaissance and infiltration capabilities even more terrifying, while "Thousand Faces Crow" gives it the ability of camouflage. It will be able to change its predetermined appearance anytime and anywhere, which is also the ability characteristic of "Thousand Faces Shadow Demon".

The mad evil monster "Thousand Faces Shadow Demon" often transforms into a lost traveler, a staggering old woman, and a child who has just grown teeth, in order to confuse people and make them let down their guard against it. "Shadow Raven" digested the mad evil magic crystal of "Thousand Faces Shadow Demon", and naturally obtained this inherent skill.

After a brief thought, Luo Xiu issued a new instruction to the "Shadow Raven" Wu Ye.

"On a foggy night, I took on my appearance."

"——Hiss." A hissing sound like tearing cloth came from the black fog in front of Luo Xiu, and then most of the black fog dissipated. They turned into spiritual threads and quickly gathered towards the same location.

The outline of a human figure was "created", with the facial features carved, the hair combed, and the pupils dotted with golden light.

The "real phantom" that was exactly the same as "Luo Xiu Durant" soon appeared in front of the real Luo Xiu. On the shoulder of this simulated "real phantom" was a dark raven, which was the real body of the "shadow raven" Wu Ye, who had gathered most of the "fog shadow".

In the panel detection of the "real phantom" in front of Luo Xiu, the name of this phantom of himself is also "Luo Xiu Durant", but there is a "?" at the end to indicate that there is an abnormality. And its attribute panel is not very high, only about half of his own.

Its stats come from those of the "Shadow Raven" Wu Ye, and the skills it possesses are also Wu Ye's skills. It does not truly possess the skills, abilities, and expertise of the real person "Luo Xiu Durant".

Luo Xiu looked at his own copy opposite him with interest. At the same time, he transferred the "Mark of Domination" from Fenrir to Wu Ye, and gained control of the "real phantom" created by the "Shadow Raven" Wu Ye.

After deepening the connection with the "Real Phantom" through the "Mark of the Domination", all of Luo Xiu's current skills were replicated one-to-one in the skills and skill columns of the "Real Phantom", but the skill effects were much lower than those of the real person. However, from the perspective of the "fake" functionality, it was already quite sufficient.

Luo Xiu's mind moved slightly at the same time, and the "Luo Xiu Durant" in front of him took action. The real phantom raised his arm and then lowered it, nodded and shook his head, and finally turned three times in place.

Afterwards, the real phantom spoke:
"I am... 'Rosius Carlos'... I am the 'high priest' of the Red Maple City... Church..."

"I am 'Rosius Carlos'... I am the 'high priest' of the Red Maple City Church..."

"I am 'Rosius Carlos'... I am the 'High Priest' of the Red Maple City Church..."

"..."

The phantom's voice was a little sluggish at first, but as Luo Xiu became more proficient in controlling it, it was able to speak complete sentences clearly and fluently.

"Hmm..." Luo Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and then he asked Wu Ye to cancel the real illusion, and the figure of "Luo Xiu Durant" in front of him slowly dissipated.

As his phantom dissipated, Luo Xiu had also determined some key ideas.

The "real phantom" of himself created by Wu Ye can take his place in the church and "receive" foreign guests and clergy when he is not there. In this way, he does not need to stay in the church all the time and can free up his hands to do other things outside.

As Luo Xiu is now the "high priest", he cannot go out as he did in the past. His every move is witnessed by the clergy of the church. While standing at a higher position and gaining more power, he is also gradually losing more freedom.

This has always been a headache for Luo Xiu. Although he doesn't really need to stick to the Holy See Church, keeping his current identity also has the advantage of convenience.

Now that I have a new vest, my headache has been solved! From now on, when I go out for secret activities, I don't need to forge an alibi... Luo Xiu thought happily, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised a subtle arc.
