Volume 3 New World Chapter 44: Son of Secret Shadow
Theater Monster!
One of the most bizarre types of evil spirits.
As a leader among the vampires, Gwen naturally knows everything about evil spirits.
After listening to Marven’s explanation, he immediately reacted !
"This theater has actually been cultivated with demonic spirits?"
"Doesn't that mean that there is a quasi-legendary evil spirit messenger living here?"
Gwen's face was serious.
Ma Wen was silent: "Then where do you think these evil spirits came from before?"
The vampire laughed bitterly, "I thought they were attracted here spontaneously by the [Evil Spirit Abomination] on you."
"After all, the evil spirit in you is too hateful. As a vampire, I can sense it."
Ma Wen was slightly stunned.
He finally understood why Gwen could always see through his disguise. This guy could actually sense the evil spirit hatred in him!
His perception is indeed very good.
However, now is not the time to get entangled in these things. Although the army of evil spirits has retreated, the truly terrifying and powerful one has already arrived.
…
In the darkness, there was a whirring sound.
It was as if someone was pulling a bellows with great effort.
Without light, it was not a problem for the two of them. The vampires had very strong low-light vision, and Marvin simply had dark vision. They saw everything that happened in the theater clearly.
The curtains on the stage swept in from all directions.
They move very slowly, but with a sense of airtightness.
Gwen frowned slightly: "It's coming."
Marvin calmly raised his two swords: "I'll handle it."
"You don't have to do anything. But I need you to find the place where the demon spirit rests as soon as possible, otherwise we will be trapped here forever."
"At this point, why don't you hide it? I'm actually very curious about your relationship with Archduke William. How did his [Bloodline Perception] appear on you..."
Following Marvin's meaningful words, Gwen's eyelids twitched. He knew that his true identity had been seen through, and he did not hesitate at the moment.
His skin suddenly turned red, and circles of faint textures spread across his skin like ripples.
"There are nine blood patterns in total."
Marvin, who was standing by, was secretly surprised.
In his previous life, he had a close relationship with Archduke William, and he knew that the old fox had created a bloodline ability of blood pattern perception, which could only be taught to the closest direct descendants. Given Marvin's reputation in the Ming Party, the old fox William clearly stated that he could not teach him.
And this kid Gwen not only has the ability to perceive blood veins, but he also has nine blood veins!
You know, Archduke William himself only has sixteen blood veins.
The extra perception given to Gwen by the nine blood patterns is probably comparable to 30 points of [God’s Perception]!
No wonder he could sense the evil spirit's hatred in Marvin and repeatedly see through Marvin's disguise.
Most people can't do this at all!
But this made Marvin feel more at ease.
If he had an 80% chance of dealing with the theater spirit, now that he saw Gwen's blood pattern perception, his confidence immediately increased to 100%!
…
As Marvin recalled, the curtains did not stop, but instead transformed into strange images!
One after another, elongated human faces slowly emerged from the curtain and pounced towards the two of them!
These faces are either sneering, indifferent, expressionless, or ferocious, covering almost all the negative expressions in the world!
A deep voice also sounded in their hearts:
"Max...I'm hungry..."
Marven sneered, not affected by the sound at all!
He raised both swords and slashed fiercely at the face of the person who was rushing towards him!
…
The theater demon, an evil spirit composed of collective consciousness, is more difficult to cultivate than ordinary evil spirits.
Similar evil spirits include the circus spirit, the opera ghost, etc.
If ordinary primary evil spirits are born from the evil thoughts of a living being; then theater evil spirits are creatures composed of the negative energy of all living beings that have watched performances in the theater!
In the eyes of the evil spirits, the ancient theater is a very sacred place.
Because in the theater, people release their emotions by watching musicals, among which negative emotions are the most common.
Over the years, these negative thoughts will remain in the theater.
If these negative thoughts are cultivated by a quasi-legendary evil spirit messenger, it is possible to cultivate a real theater demon spirit!
The power of this demon spirit lies in the fact that it is integrated with the entire theater.
Most of the time, the theater spirits were in deep sleep - because even the evil spirit messengers full of negative energy could not feed the theater spirits with their astonishing appetite every day.
So once awakened, the terrifying demon will do everything it can to capture objects in the theater - including evil spirits!
This is also the reason why the evil spirits retreated before.
It’s a pity that they didn’t know that in order to kill Marvin completely, the two evil spirit messengers had already set up an evil spirit barrier. All the retreating evil spirits were blocked by the evil spirit barrier, and ultimately they were still unable to escape from this horrible theater!
…
“Sizzle!”
At the edge of the evil spirit's barrier, a brain-eating demon was fleeing in panic.
However, everything he did was in vain.
A blanket under his feet suddenly rolled up and turned into a bloody mouth, swallowing the brain-eating demon fiercely!
Similar scenes kept happening in every corner of the theater.
The evil spirits all became great tonic for the awakened Max.
Only on the stage is there a piece of pure land left.
With Gerwin as the center, a figure kept dodging and moving, resisting attacks from all directions!
Marvin not only had two knives out, but also had a shotgun hanging on his arm and two pistols ready for battle.
Rosenthal's bracelet's bonus to the ranger's skills brought Marvin's [Hand Skills] to 68 points!
This means that the hidden effect [Do as You Like] after the skill reaches 50 points is also triggered.
[As You Like It]: You can switch weapons as you like. When all weapons are in their usual positions, the switching time is the shortest.
The reason why Marvin learned martial arts was also for the effect of switching weapons.
After all, although he follows the path of a ranger, he uses a variety of weapons.
Not only is he an expert at scimitars, but he can also use daggers, pistols, shotguns and all kinds of weapons to great effect.
For example, now:
A huge curtain came over like an overwhelming force, ready to swallow the two of them in one gulp.
Marvin turned around and walked around Gervin who had activated his blood pattern perception. He instantly put Qingye back into his waist, squatted slightly, and aimed the shotgun instantly!
boom!
With a loud bang, the ground under Marvin's feet shook slightly, and a bright flame bloomed in the dark theater!
The rumbling flames directly shattered the curtain, but the next second, two human faces with bloody mouths opened pounced on Gwen from behind!
Marvin knew that this guy was trying his best to sense the place where the theater's evil spirits were residing. If he was affected by them, all his previous efforts would be in vain!
He turned around and took out his two swords again. Qingye chopped the two faces into pieces with two slashes!
Before he could catch his breath, more than a dozen human faces appeared together, and a disgusting evil aura came over continuously.
Without a second thought, Marvin pointed both pistols at the enemy. Bang, bang, bang, bang gunshots rang out in the theater, instantly eliminating them!
It was the diversity of its weapons that gave Marvin the courage to make a decision with the theater monster.
The power of this evil spirit is that when you are in the center of the theater, you will be attacked from all sides.
However, with Marvin's reaction ability, a variety of weapons and the No. 4 holy water that is specifically designed for evil spirits, it is very easy to resist for a while.
The next key lies in whether Gwen can successfully find the resting place of the theater monster!
…
In the midst of his busy schedule, Marvin glanced at the data panel.
In that chaotic battle just now, he gained a huge amount of killing experience!
Nearly five hundred evil spirits in the theater were eliminated by him, contributing nearly 100,000 killing experience points to him!
Although it consumes a lot of physical strength, this opportunity to gain experience is a rare one!
It’s a pity that the awakening of the theater spirit caused those evil spirits to become food for the spirit, otherwise they would all become Marvin’s experience.
As for the curtains and human faces he had just killed, since they were part of the theater spirit, they could not be converted into killing experience at all.
"It's not worth it, it's not worth it!"
Marvin secretly shook his head in his heart, looking at Gwen with a frown, he could only pray that this kid would find the demon's true form as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you can only use the second option.
But at this moment, the props in the center of the stage that could be controlled by the evil spirits had been almost killed by Marvin, and he got a moment of peace.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Marvin invested 99,000 killing experience points into [Night Walker] without hesitation!
In an instant, his Night Walker level rose to level 7, and his total level reached 19!
Marvin ignored the extra 36 skill points and 157 health points for the time being. He hesitated for a moment about the 1 attribute point he gained from reaching a total level of 19, but finally invested it in strength.
In this way, his strength also reached a high of 18 points. With two more points, he could reach the bonus of the super long strength trait.
Rangers have a certain need for strength. In Marvin's impression, there are many shortcuts to improve physical fitness. But for strength, apart from hard training, there is only one way to gain attribute points, so he finally chose strength.
As for perception, once he is promoted to Legend, he will naturally have relevant expertise to make up for it, so Marvin doesn't care much about it.
…
After the Night Walker was upgraded to level 7, as expected, Marvin once again gained a professional specialty [Son of Secret Shadow].
[Son of Secret Shadow]: 50% chance to be immune to all shadow spells; qualified to enter the shadow plane.
Seeing this expertise, Marvin was delighted.
Because strictly speaking, this is a passive status feat. Although Marvin currently does not have any ability to enter the shadow plane, this feat has paved the way for future abilities. If he can find a suitable leaf of nature in the future, he won't have to worry about not being able to enter the shadow plane without the prerequisite feat.
In addition , what surprised Marvin was that after killing five hundred evil spirits, Marvin's [Night Killing] reached the third level!
"Oh my god, he is indeed the legendary Night Demon. A third-level Night Killer is so powerful!"
Marvin glanced at the attributes, and even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the powerful description of the effect.
