YM778.TV Chapter 291: Chapter291:Magic Shadow Space
Enzo listened quietly and asked, "Was it that Master Mau who informed you?"
A flicker of surprise crossed Elsie\'s eyes as she nodded and replied calmly, "Yes, the moment you arrived on the Fierce Beast continent, it was Master Mau who informed me of your location."
That guy Maude again!
Enzo inwardly grumbled, but he had a rough understanding of the current situation.
Whether it was his arrival in this world or Elsie posing as Karina to rescue him, it could almost be seen as a series of plans orchestrated by Maude. Although these plans were somewhat risky, they hadn\'t caused him any harm. Instead, they had strengthened him and brought him many benefits. However, the feeling of being manipulated was ultimately quite unpleasant.
Enzo pressed on, "Did he mention anything else?"
Elsie shook her head and answered, "No, Master Mau—whom you refer to as Maude—is an exceptionally wise person who never says anything unnecessary."
"So, it was also his suggestion to bring me here?" Enzo asked.
"No!" At this moment, Elsie shook her head. She walked ahead of Enzo, and the dark shadows along the way parted, igniting into dark green flames that floated on either side of the path. Though it was still dim, they could now clearly see the road beneath their feet.
As Elsie walked forward, she continued, "Bringing you into the Magic Shadow space was my own decision. Master Mau did not know about the existence of the Magic Shadow space."
Elsie\'s words piqued Enzo\'s curiosity.
He trailed behind her, making his way toward the end of the path.
At the end stood a monument adorned with a myriad of intricate patterns, chaotic and bewildering, seemingly capable of impacting one\'s consciousness. Merely casting a glance at it sent a wave of disorientation through Enzo.
Elsie explained, "This is the inheritance monument of the Shadow Clan."
As she spoke, she placed her hand upon the stone.
The moment her palm made contact, the monument emitted a ghostly blue radiance that spread outward, illuminating the entire Magic Shadow realm. It was then that Enzo beheld the entirety of this enchanting space: a vast plaza filled with towering stone pillars, while shadows flitted around them like restless spirits.
At this juncture, Elsie revealed her intention. "I seek your assistance."
Enzo remained silent, contemplating her request.
Elsie continued, "As you rightly noted, it is nearly impossible for me to revitalize the Shadow Clan alone. Yet, your presence has ignited a flicker of hope within me. The inheritance of the Shadow Clan chronicles the deeds of a magnificent immortal deity, Boyega. At that time, the Shadow Clan was not particularly formidable, scarcely better off than our current state.
However, upon following that immortal deity, the Shadow Clan\'s renown resonated throughout the Starry Sky."
The meaning of her words was unmistakable.
Nonetheless, Enzo inquired, "Do you truly believe I can become an immortal deity like Boyega?"
"Absolutely!" Elsie replied with evident confidence.
This elicited a smile from Enzo.
He had no intention of becoming another Boyega. Elsie was oblivious to the truth, but Enzo was all too aware that Boyega was hardly a paragon of virtue.
The Shadow Clan\'s rise alongside Boyega had brought them great prestige, but Enzo knew that if Boyega ever faced trouble, they would likely be targeted by other forces instead of receiving help.
It seemed Elsie was unaware of this.
And in fact, Enzo understood the history of the Shadow Clan better than she did.
However, he chose not to share this insight.
His gaze returned to the blue-glowing tablet, noticing the patterns shifting as the light followed specific trajectories .
That specific trajectories began to unravel before his eyes.
"What is this…"
Enzo\'s eyes widened as he realized something and asked Elsie, "Is this recording a divine arts?"
Elsie was taken aback.
She asked curiously, "How did you figure that out?"
Enzo shrugged, replying calmly, "Isn\'t it obvious?"
This left Elsie speechless.
The inheritance tablet in the Magic Shadow space indeed recorded a unique divine arts known as Magic Shadow.
The divine arts allowed the user to assume a shadow form, rendering them immune to ordinary physical and elemental attacks, with soul attacks being the only weakness.
For Enzo, who had mastered the Soul Fortress divine arts, this was a perfect match. While in the Magic Shadow state, he would be nearly invincible.
Unless someone could break through his Soul Fortress.
This divine arts was immensely desirable for any supernatural being, especially with Enzo and Elsie still navigating the dangers of the Otrank Mountains.
If he could master this divine arts, Enzo could move through the mountains with unparalleled freedom, coming and going as he pleased.
Therefore, Elsie chose to bring Enzo into the Magic Shadow space, confident that with the Magic Shadow divine arts as a reward, Enzo would definitely agree to her request.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
After learning about the effects of the Magic Shadow divine arts from Elsie, Enzo didn\'t hesitate to agree, also revealing part of the truth: "The immortal deity Boyega, whom the Shadow Clan followed, is dead. Before his death, Boyega took most of the Shadow Clan members with him. They now live in a trial space left behind by Boyega, but they are under a special curse. Also, this…"
Enzo connected to a small world and retrieved a special crystal.
This was the Magic Shadow crystal, originally given to him by Invicta, the leader of the Shadow Clan, in Dragons Land, which could enhance one\'s comprehension of various elemental powers.
However, it was clear that this didn\'t help Enzo much.
With his talent, especially when using The World Tree to comprehend other elemental powers, he faced almost no bottlenecks.
Yet, it seemed the Magic Shadow crystal triggered some special arrangement within the Magic Shadow space. Shadows swirled around the thick stone pillars, roaring wildly, and began to surge towards the Magic Shadow crystal. As these shadows flowed in, the Magic Shadow crystal started to vibrate and eventually floated in the air.
Then, the Magic Shadow crystal flew towards Elsie.
Before Elsie could react, the crystal collided directly with her chest, and upon contact, it transformed into a strange light that merged into her body.
This scene was unexpected for Enzo.
Clearly, the Shadow Clan leader Invicta must have concealed some information, but it was also possible he was unaware of the details, as the Shadow Clan was extremely weak at that time, and much of their inherited knowledge had vanished due to the curse.
Moments later, the fusion ended, and Elsie returned to normal.
She looked at Enzo, unsure of what to say. As the Magic Shadow crystal merged into her body, she instinctively received a wealth of Shadow Clan inheritance—a complete legacy that dated back even further than the time of the immortal deity Boyega, involving entities more powerful than him, and tracing back to the very origins of the Shadow Clan.
In fact, this Magic Shadow crystal held greater value than the Magic Shadow space itself, as it was a true artifact of inheritance, while the Magic Shadow space was merely a creation of later generations.
It was at this moment that Elsie realized this.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed for having gained such an advantage, she was about to thank Enzo when he seemed to anticipate her words, saying, "This thing is useless to me. Returning it to you is only right."
Despite this, Elsie sincerely replied, "Thank you."
Afterward, she took Enzo\'s hand firmly and pressed her other hand against the stone tablet. The light from the tablet flowed into her arm and then was forcefully directed into Enzo\'s arm.
Elsie explained, "The Magic Shadow divine arts have a bloodline restriction. Only Shadow Clan members can learn them."
Enzo understood what Elsie was doing.
The light represented the inheritance information of the Magic Shadow divine arts, and as it flowed, blood from Elsie was also moving into Enzo\'s body.
Only in this way could Enzo temporarily possess the Shadow Clan bloodline.
However, this came at a great cost to Elsie.
The blood flowing into Enzo was not ordinary. It was supernatural blood infused with the Shadow Clan lineage, containing the essence of the bloodline. Losing too much could potentially cause permanent damage.
Enzo was well aware of this.
So he directly released Elsie\'s hand, forcibly interrupting the inheritance process of the Magic Shadow divine arts.
This left Elsie quite puzzled.
She looked at Enzo, only to hear him speak calmly yet with a hint of arrogance: "Elsie, there\'s no need for this. It\'s just a divine art. Even with a bloodline restriction, it\'s not a big deal for me."
Elsie couldn\'t understand why Enzo had such confidence.
But in the next moment, she suddenly felt that the Enzo in front of her had changed, as if he were a completely different person.
If the previous Enzo had been occasionally indifferent and sometimes gentle, the current Enzo emanated a sense of authority amidst his calmness, much like an ordinary person facing a towering immortal deity.
What had happened to Enzo?
