Chapter 276: Chapter 270: Divine Artifact Special Ability

The sharp sword blade met almost no resistance, and without the protection of the shadow armor, the body of the Dark Weaver was as fragile as a sausage, cleaved in two at the waist by Lancelot. Following that, he swung the great sword again, carving a ten-foot-long gash across the monster’s body, from which a mass of gray blood and oddly shaped viscera spilled out, blanketing the lightless darkness.

The former master of Plague Swamp let out a piercing shriek, the tentacles at its side twitching wildly like worms on a hot pan, depleting the last bit of strength from its broken body.

In Lancelot’s spirit perception, he could clearly sense the monster’s life force rapidly dissipating, along with something else that, while intangible, was closer to the monster’s “essence.”

Soul.

Just then, a strong suction force suddenly emanated from Lancelot’s wrist, the Dark Weaver’s previously unconscious soul emitted its final scream before destruction, then transformed into a special energy, completely absorbed by the essence of the Eye of Sarezdon.

Lancelot probed with his divine sense into the small black spot, instantly understanding that the essence of the divine artifact had gained a few new abilities.

The first was the especially troublesome Shadow Web from before. As long as there were shadows around, he could use this ability to force all creatures within sixty feet to move only towards his position, or they would encounter great resistance.

Another ability was to use shadows for instantaneous teleportation; with just a thought, he could traverse to a shadow nearby that was connected to his own, an admittedly very useful skill in combat... and for escaping.

There was also the ability to gather shadows directly around himsef to form a cloak-like armor. In terms of protective ability, this “Shadow Cloak” was much inferior to the Protective Sword Shield of the Qingyuan Sword Technique, but it could greatly conceal his figure, very useful in situations requiring stealth.

Another godly skill for escaping.

Of course, activating these abilities used not his own True Yuan, but the shadow force stored in the divine artifact’s essence. This power automatically replenished in darkness, allowing Lancelot to activate the Shadow Web for up to ten minutes a day, or accumulate up to three hundred feet of Shadow Jumps. As for the Shadow Cloak, it could be maintained indefinitely unless it suffered an attack or was exposed to direct strong light.

“You won’t have to worry about being eaten by that creature anymore,” Elothysia said as she ruffled the red-haired little girl’s hair, “but this side of the river is still under the control of the Mother of Demons, and soon other villains will occupy this Miasma Swamp. Make sure not to wander off again.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The children nodded emphatically, the day’s events leaving a profound lesson in their minds. The Succubus Paladin smiled slightly, about to say more, but then noticed the Human Knight’s expression suddenly changing.

“Everybody, we need to retreat fast!” Lancelot said emphatically, “Those Seducer Demons are very close to us now!”

“Damn! I almost forgot about this!” Dwarf cried out in alarm and was the first to run out.

“Bruto! Come back!” Koula shouted anxiously, “The south is this way!”

Everyone quickly moved towards the area with sparser moss. They all knew too well what would happen if the twelve Seducer Demons caught up with them, even Shuni the Priest didn’t care about her own cleanliness anymore, sprinting through the mud-filled and puddled ground, and quickly becoming as disheveled as everyone else.

It wasn’t long before skeletons and little bats also joined their group. Lilu was seeing this bat-turned-lady for the first time, her eyes filled with curiosity. But just like Dong Quan, she knew it wasn’t the time, so she had to hold back a barrage of questions inside her.
