Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 95 The Price of Stealing Shadows

But Chloe hesitated and still didn't touch the key first.

Although I don’t know if this key has any warning function... but it’s better to take it away just in case.

The closer to victory, the more Chloe calmed down. I began to think about various possibilities in my mind, thinking about my omissions and mistakes.

After a quiet review, it was confirmed that there were no loopholes.

Aiwass was really drunk, and there was nothing unusual about his various behaviors in his sleep.

So she stepped forward boldly. He took out a dark red lipstick from his pocket and applied it lightly on himself.

The basic ability to adapt to the road is the resistance to poison and disease. The higher the level, the stronger it is. Because of this, they can swallow large amounts of herbs without worrying about side effects, or eat any visible creature in the wild to replenish energy and nutrients. Many poisons are useless to themselves, but useful to others. Through this cognitive difference, the assassination ability that adapts to the path is very strong.

As a member of the "Eagle Eye" organization, she can know the production methods of various secret poisons and curses from the organization. In addition to applying this paste-like poison to the "Eagle Feather" flying knives, she also made them into lipstick that was easy to carry and conceal, and triggered it with a fatal kiss.

Of course, this actually has no special meaning. It's just a bad taste of hers... If I have to say it, a kiss is lighter than applying lipstick to the other person. But in fact, what she really wanted to do was just "kiss".

A kiss that quietly takes away someone else's life gives people a romantic and charming feeling. As if she were a legendary succubus or banshee. There is a sense of ritual.

But now that Chloe thinks about it... maybe she was leaning towards the path of love from the very beginning. The habits along the way are actually constantly strengthening the consistency of her own path of love, but she herself has never noticed it. It was only now that she truly realized how strong her desire was.

It's like she always dresses up beautifully in clothes that are too revealing and conspicuous for Avalonians. This seems a bit too high-profile for an assassin.

She has always pretended to be a believer in the path of beauty, but she may be more suitable for the path of love. It's a pity that Iris' love path is completely controlled by the Moon Child. She may be able to leave the organization, but she absolutely cannot become the Moon Child - otherwise she will definitely be found and killed by her colleagues.

——But that’s okay.

Once I get this sacred weapon, I will have the confidence to negotiate with the organization.

After putting lipstick on herself, Chloe looked at Aiwass, who was sleeping and smelling of alcohol, and smiled.

...Looking carefully, although he looked quite irritating before, this young man still looks quite handsome now.

Then it wouldn't hurt me to kiss him.

She leaned forward and kissed Aiwass gently - but for some reason, she could only bend halfway.

She could already smell the faint smell of alcohol coming from the sleeping Aiwass's mouth, as well as the smell of the opposite sex exuding from his body. But her waist seemed to be anesthetized, unable to move even while maintaining this strenuous movement.

"Have you had enough trouble?"

A cold female voice sounded in her mind.

Judging from her voice and tone, she looks like a strong and proud mature woman.

——Not Aiwass’ personal maid.

Damn, is there someone else in this room ambushing me? !

Chloe woke up in an instant, and subconsciously melted into the shadow, broke free from the shackles of unknown origin, and sneaked into Aiwass's shadow.

But it’s different from every previous shadow sneak—

Or, it was just like the last time she sneaked into Aiwass's shadow. A great, extremely strong sense of fear seized her heart.

——But she had no time to escape.

The shadow that used to move freely was now like frozen ice, cold and solid.

It was as if she had thrown herself into a cage and frozen herself in ice.

And the cold voice mocked in her ear: "You, the little thief who stole the power of shadow, do trust this power..."

At this moment, Chloe only felt dizzy.

When she regained her sight, she saw Aiwass lying on the bed far away.

And my own perspective...

——It’s like being sealed into a mirror!

And her "other self", who looked almost exactly the same as her, except that her hair and eyes were pure black, was standing where she was just now, looking at Chloe in the mirror with a sneer.

She slowly "walked" towards the mirror and came closer - her "walking" was just a movement, but in fact she was floating over. When she walks, half of her feet blend into the ground. And her body did not rise and fall as she walked, but instead exuded a faint black smoke.

In the mirror, Chloe's body was completely out of control. She was forced to perform exactly the same actions as herself outside the mirror, getting closer to the "other self" that terrified her so much.

After her "other self" got closer, Chloe noticed that... her pupils and hair were not black, but nothingness that was constantly flowing. It's not the kind of black that reflects light and makes your hair visible, but "doesn't exist".

Her skin is also as white as a ghost, showing an almost translucent texture... Only the clothes on her body are solid.

--Who are you?

Chloe wanted to speak, but couldn't even open her mouth. It was as if he had really turned into a reflection.

But the self outside the mirror seemed to hear his own voice, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming smile.

But at this time, the self who was sealed in the mirror did not make the same movements simultaneously.

Chloe in the mirror still had short caramel-colored curly hair. Visible fear appeared on her face, and her beautiful face was distorted.

"The followers of the Lord of Scales and Feathers, thieves who steal fish scales and bird feathers... At this point, no one even remembers the source of his power?"

She mocked, stretching out her slender white fingers and gently sliding them on Chloe's cheek.

Click——

Chloe seemed to hear a phantom sound. As if her soul had been cut, unspeakable pain was felt - a crack was cut into her mirror image, but she could not shout a word.

Her mind went blank due to pain, but soon the word came to her heart——

——Who does your strength come from?

It's the Shadow Demon!

...There is a shadow demon in Aiwass's shadow? !

How can it be!

But...if this is true...

In that moment, she understood everything.

Why can Aiwass see himself, why is he not afraid of himself at all, why does he feel great fear when he enters Aiwass's shadow...

And she also understood that what Aiwass said at the banquet was just a trap and disguise to lure her in!

——What a priest, what a hero! It's all fake!

He is not a good person at all - there is absolutely no way that a demonologist who can make a contract with a high-level demon is so young!

This must be some extremely powerful demonologist who worked part-time on the Dusk Path, reincarnated into Aiwass’ body, and stole his identity and body!

At that moment, regret overtook her.

If she had another chance, she would never provoke Aiwass!

But it was too late.

There is absolutely no way she can escape from the Shadow Demon!

The power to adapt to the path comes from imitating others. Whether it is poison, precognition, invisibility, regeneration or other abilities, they all come from imitating other life forms in nature. And her shadow sneaking skills are abilities built by the seniors of the Hawkeye organization by imitating demons like "Shadow Demons".

However, it was a pirated copy after all. After all, they could not really capture a shadow demon and imitate its talent. This is just a weakened version of ability built through observation and imagination.

Only now did she know that the Shadow Demon's control of "shadows" actually included mirror images!

Rather than saying that this is how to catch her, it is better to say that the Shadow Demon has already caught her, and then specially showed her how the real Shadow Demon hunts...

"I don't mind if you copy its talent from one of my kind. But the way you use it is too ugly. It's like a toad is singing and a donkey is dancing. I feel like there is an elephant running thumping above my head. Went over...it was so noisy."

Shadow Demon's voice was full of malice, and Chloe realized more and more clearly that Shadow Demon's voice was gradually getting closer to her own - from the arrogant and mature female voice to her honey-like voice. Charming voice.

"And, more importantly - the master's shadow, that is my territory."

Her voice was soft but cold, and her slender fingers passed through the mirror and held the neck of the person in the mirror: "You have crossed the line, little thief.

"If it weren't for the kindness of the master, I would have torn you into pieces at that time. Fortunately, Father Snake protected you and you dared to come back.

"You are even stupid enough to want to kill my master - who do you think you are? So weak, yet so confident..."

Chloe was in agony in the mirror, her whole body being corroded by shadows. The edges of the floor-to-ceiling mirror gradually oozed blood, as if it were not a solid mirror, but an iron maiden that was gradually closing.

Before Chloe lost consciousness, Shadow Demon's voice sounded in her heart: "If you copy mine, then I will copy yours. It just so happens that I still lack a set of skins suitable for human aesthetics."

"Since you tried to steal the shadow...then your throat and face belong to me now.

"In human terms, this would be called debt settlement."

As he spoke, Shadow Demon touched the mirror with his finger and gave her a big cross: "You are insolvent now, miss."

In an instant, Chloe's soul, already filled with cracks, was completely torn apart by Shadow Demon's nails.

Until the next day, when Aiwass woke up in a daze, he was not woken up by the Shadow Demon.

This was what he had agreed with Shadow Demon before, to quietly kill the assassin. There is no need to wake him up unless there is anything special.

This is also an expression of his trust in Shadow Demon.

"How was it last night?"

The first time he woke up, he asked in his heart: "What were her last words?"

Aiwass wasn't worried about Shadow Demon letting her go.

Because when he woke up, the pop-up window had already appeared in front of him:

[Kill the fourth-level transcendent and gain 120 free experience]

It's about a hundred lower than the Abnormal Limb Demon, but the experience he brought to the door is enough. Counting the experience that Aiwass had not used up before, he already has 364 free experience points. In this way, after advancing to Demonologist at the beginning of the month, Aiwass can continue to advance at the beginning of next month - it only takes two months to climb directly to the third level!

Now what restricts Aiwass is the cooldown time of the ritual. Of course, in order to prevent experience overflow, you should read the book normally before, and finally use free experience to replenish your level.

Save whatever you can!

Aiwass was just a little worried - the Shadow Demon wouldn't tear up and corrode everything on her body, right?

"I remember I told you to keep all the equipment she could have on her... Where did you put it?"

He asked: "Also. The floor is not dirty, right?"

"She had no last words, and she didn't say a word until her death. She just regretted offending you."

And Shadow Demon's voice, which was different from yesterday and more human than yesterday, rang in his heart: "The spoils are on the sofa next to me. They are all there. Master... As for her blood, I also ate it." .It won’t leave any trace.”

Aiwass looked over - it was true.

The clothes were neatly folded and laid out in order and categories. It's like he took it off and put it there. Very complete, no damage at all.

"...Lily has been here?"

Aiwass's first reaction was, had Lily come over to set it up?

But he soon realized that he had already reminded Lily last night not to call him today. She would not enter her room without permission.

This Shadow Demon...is quite organized?
