Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

It makes Sagros nervous.

Jiang Gu, however, remained remarkably calm.

It's a product of the system, so there's no need to worry about the possibility of evolution failure!

Sure enough, just as the energy within his body expanded to its limit, almost to the point of explosion...

Sagros calmed down...

A dazzling light of evolution shone from its body!

Chapter 169: Shadow Warrior Sargoth

As the light of evolution shone, Sagros's aura surged wildly!

Incaros finally breathed a sigh of relief…

In fact, it knew why Sagros was in so much pain.

Dark Mantis's fighting style is clearly all-out attack, so evolving into Shadow Mode is not suitable!

Naturally, the suffering they endure is thus greater.

Fortunately, the evolutionary power obtained through the system was risk-free, and Sagros only experienced a brief period of pain. ... ...

Then the evolution got on track!

Jiang Gu and Incaros waited excitedly.

The dazzling light shone for over an hour before slowly fading away.

Then the light faded, and Sagros appeared in a completely new form!

Shadow Wars. Sagros!

The appearance of the Dark Mantis doesn't change much.

Its body was visibly stronger than a group of others, the two silver-gray blade-shaped structures on its head appeared even sharper, and the dark green armor on its body was noticeably brighter.

At the same time, various orange-yellow patterns appeared around the armor, and the two scythes became even larger, displaying a terrifying power!

The only differences from the original, un-evolved form are some minor details.

But what is most striking is that Sagros's blade and back are shrouded in a strange, azure aura.

The aura on the blade transformed into a tangible sharpness, and even from a distance, Jiang Gu felt a deep pain as if his face had been cut.

The energy aura behind Sagros was even more like wings!

With its wings spread wide, Sagros gently swayed, manipulating the energy in the air as if it were his own arm or fingers. At this moment, Sagros was like a king descending to earth!

Just the sheer presence of the Dark Mantis, radiating a terrifying aura, was almost unbearable for Jiang Gu and Incaros…

However, Jiang Gu casually took a step back, waiting for Sagros to calm down.

Incaros, however, stood stubbornly in place, resisting Sagros's imposing aura without moving an inch!

Fortunately, after evolving, the Dark Mantis regained its senses and saw that Incaros was almost harmed by its own aura...

He quickly concealed his aura.

It absorbed the azure energy into its body, and Sagros returned to its former form.

Even after evolving, Scyther still seemed somewhat shy when facing Jiang Gu and Incaros, one a trainer and the other a senior.

But Jiang Gu clearly sensed that even though the power was restrained.

Even in its most subtle movements, this Mega Evolution Pokémon still exudes an extremely unsettling aura.

It may appear as a calm sea, but the temporary tranquility is merely an illusion; it soon possesses the power to easily take another's life...

But Jiangu couldn't possibly be afraid of his own elf; he stepped forward and excitedly patted Sagros' breastplate.

"Great! You've gotten much stronger!"

Sagros (aedb) nodded slightly, looking excited.

Becoming stronger is the Dark Mantis's eternal pursuit!

At this moment, it felt a powerful force surging within its body!

Jiang Gu quickly activated his Data Eye to check Sagros's current condition.

Name: Sagros

[Level: lv.64]

[Attribute: Combat/Mystic]

[Trait: Adaptability (Skills gain double the bonus)]

[Chip Feature: Instant Kill [Four-Star] - When a powerful attack hits, there is a 6% chance to instantly kill the enemy.]

【Exclusive Trait 2: Crit (Reduces damage taken from preemptive skills by 20%)】

[Mastered Techniques: Sudden Slash, Power..., Netherworld Soaring Sword, Demon God Technique, Sharp Blade Demon God Wave, Fang Chain Assault, Swift Wind Fang]

【个体值——HP：45攻击：45防御：45特攻：45特防：45速度：45】

"It's really strong!"

Jiang Gu was overjoyed.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still quite excited.

Firstly, under the immense energy of super evolution, the level increase is greatly enhanced.

Shadow Warrior. Sagros instantly reached level 64.

It's a success, it's reached the dojo level!

It's important to understand that, unlike other trainers who obtain Cosmic Pokémon and rush their Pokémon to level up quickly with massive amounts of resources, this trainer is different.

Both Sagros and Incaros reached their levels through extremely difficult and gradual progress, step by step, through a large amount of actual combat and the accumulation of energy.

At this point, a level 64 spirit is far more valuable than any other spirit.

Jiang Gu could confidently believe that even if he were to defeat a champion-level Pokémon two levels above him now...

He could never be a match for Sagros!

Jiang Gu then noticed that his Dark Scyther's individual stats had also improved.

All reached forty-five points!

Clearly, the abundant energy within the King's Illusion has enhanced the talent of his own spirit.

As for what excites Jiang Gu even more...

Its type changed from Fighting to Psychic/Fighting, which means it has an extra set of STAB moves, greatly expanding its coverage! "And, it even awakened its ability!"

Shadow Warrior. Sagros gained a second ability after evolving!

"Brutal" - Reduces damage taken from preemptive skills by 20%.

At this moment, the Dark Mantis possesses all three abilities, causing its strength to surge.

At the same time, Jiang Gu was pleasantly surprised to discover...

After Mega Evolution, it learned all the skills it originally had in its Sagros form.

This includes the Demon God Skill – which increases attack power by two levels and defense and special defense by one level, and prevents damage taken from exceeding 250 points within two rounds.

Blade Demon Wave – a guaranteed hit skill with a power of 140.

At the same time, he also mastered the evolved Mystic-type move, Swift Wind Fang!

It grants a +3 priority, a power of 90 points, and can remove the opponent's buffs. If successful, it also increases the user's priority by one! This move doesn't seem like much... but what does a +3 priority mean?!

It's just a show of force, nothing more!

Why is Mega Kangaskhan invincible? It uses parental love to intimidate its opponent with a single slap, crippling it!

However, Swift Wind Fang has a power boost from its own type, and it still has a power of 90!

A slap with 135 points of power—who can withstand that?

It's no exaggeration to say that he killed the person with a single blow!

Not to mention the removal of buffs and the subsequent addition of priority to all moves... In the Pokémon world... Invincible!

It's invincible, how so?

Jiang Gu couldn't help but feel excited as he looked at Sagros's current state!

too strong!

Even the Shadow Warrior, who leans towards a defensive style. Sagros.

Its direct combat capabilities are also extremely formidable.

It can truly be compared to the legendary Pokémon of the Pokémon world!

Jiang Gu then discovered Sagros's special item in the shop—the [Radiant Stone].

The effect is that it allows for Shadow Battle. Sagros, awakening his fifth skill – Soaring Martial Heaven-Shattering Strike.
