This world was made from countless small worlds name "Surface". These surfaces might be small or big. No matter what theirs size was, they could be used as storage. They were big enough to store a whole country, sun, moon and stars.
The shadow surface was a big surface. It also had any other surfaces, still had living creatures, mountains and sea, and all sorts of biological reproduction. But the core of this surface was really dangerous. Cause the "Shadow" power was confined inside the core of this surface.
Opening the shadow power wouldn't lead any serious damage but it could be a huge danger to any adventurer traveling here--------the reason the shadow power could be abundant and strong like this was because of the fact that there were many dangerous creatures extisting here. They were both strong and brutal, and mostly deceitful. Therefore, although the shadow surface had many valuable and rare resources, the way to its core was not far either, most adventurers viewed it as a restricted land. Very few people would dare to enter it.
After the doomed Gerrard was thrown into this surface, he coincidently landed on a wilted forest. Inside this forest, there was an Old Dryad. In order to live matchlessly in this forest, it was extremely daring. It immediately launched an attack when it saw Gerrard.
This Old Dryad's capability was scarily powerful. As compared to it, the goblin that Sui Xiong had saw in the movie "Maiden Ghost "in his previous life could be considered harmless. Gerrard put his all into fighting with it. He ran crazily in the forest, but from the beginning till the end couldn't see any way out.
He basically couldn't find the true form of the Old Dryad among numerous dried trees. He just helplessly took the beating. Luckily, Sui Xiong had made for him an extremely strong body. He in succession blocked the Old Dryad's attacks. Even though the situation was getting more intense, he could still hang on until Sui Xiong came.
Following the spirit sensation on the bone bracelet, Sui Xiong diverted his will and power toward the shadow surface. Through the analysis about the God Power of the "Gatekeeper of the Night God system", he somehow got a quite understanding about the shadow power. He had already used the soil-dust combination of the shadow power to create a doppleanger to fight with the Old Dryad.
This time, Sui Xiong really met a true opponent. That Old Dryad for sure was the most powerful character in this area. There were several times when he repelled it, he even thought of killing it, making it into a Great Divine Attacking treasure. Facing with the hindrance preventing it from eating Sui Xiong, he was in a towering rage, genuinely releasing its full power.
The fight between these two powerful big fellow was indeed earth-shaking. It even made sky change color. All the monsters nearby, strong or weak, hastily ran away while screaming their lungs out. Some peeked at the Old Dryad's mighty power then also hastily retreated to avoid being implicated.
After this fierce battle, Sui Xiong finally had found a niche. Thanks to Palin's coordinate, he could open the transmission gate in the surface core to send Gerrard back.
After that, he didn't want to waste times being stuck with the Old Dryad, directly liberated all of his force, only left behind a bunch of ashes to crazily fight with the Old Dryad. In the meantime, he leisurely came back to his true form.
This intense battle made the Old Dryad who had already been old and weak, became weaker and weaker, more and more brutal. From the view of other forces, the clock of this old man's life was ticking-------fifty years, one hundred years, in short it would not last long either. They would be very happy when this time ended.
Sui Xiong also wasn't fond of killing him. His will and power got out of the surface. Fighting with that formidable monster had consumed a great amount of his power. After jumping to this space, he had never felt this tired. Of course, he was not too tired to the point of losing sleep.
Well, the sleep lasted for about... five seconds.
After he woke up, his willpower once again was sent to inside the cave through the bone bracelet. Gerrard and Palin still drowned in the fear that "Highness Hollow Mask will definitely feel tired", still didn't have any reaction.
"Hix, I've got a good rest. Why are both of you standing still? What's the matter?" Sui Xiong curiously asked.
Gerrard and Palin looked at each other, didn't know what to say.
They didn't spoke a word but someone had hurriedly opened his mouth. A person next to them was on the ground constantly bowing to the air
"Greatest Highness, Satan, a researcher of the mystic magic greets to you! I am here to pray to be your servant. I will give this lowly life into promoting the glory of you! Please grant me this special honor!
The scheme of the shaman, who was crawling on the ground to prostrate, was not bad. He used to beat Gerrard fellow once.
Sui Xiong was stunned. His jellyfish illusory image shot out, looked closely at this so-called "Satan" shaman.
Honestly speaking, he didn't have any bad impression about this shaman. Both armies fought against each other because of their own Lords. And fighting meant 'you die, I live'. Encountering with a powerhouse like Gerrard, the Satan could naturally not be merciful. He certainly depended on foul plays and magics to beat Gerrard, whose strength was clearly above him. Having such a glorious accomplishment was enough for Sui Xiong to agree to take him in.
A fine bird chose a tree to nest in. An excellent talent would eventually find an outstanding boss to serve. Being able to attract many talents like this had proved that Sui Xiong was indeed a great boss.
But there was a small issue that captured his attention.
"Satan... This name sounds a bit familiar." He murmured, "you were not born with six wings or with an innate grandeur pride... You were not born with horn, or six six six words on your forehead... You are not the number one fighter in this world. Your hairstyle is also not a mushroom one. No matter it is the idol group, power group or humor group, it all doesn't fit..."
He thought again and again, then sighed and asked: "Satan, are you interested in changing to martial art career?"
The Satan was thunderstruck. He hesitated for half a day, finally shook his head with a wry smile.
As a mystic shaman who had been pursuing the highest magic all his life, even if he died, he wouldn't throw away his shaman dignity.
"Then there is no other way... What a pity," Sui Xiong helplessly said, "at first, you hoped to become an Emperor superstar. But now you are not any different than an uncle selling cheat codes on the roadside."
"What?" The Satan completely had no idea what he was saying.
"In short, in the beginning, you could play a supporting role of an Emperor, but now the story has been revealed accidentally, your appearance rate strongly reduces." Sui Xiong explained.
Satan finally understood a little bit: "Highness, do you want me to act? To be honest, I don't know much about this..."
"Highness, Mister Satan is a really talented shaman." Palin couldn't stand but speak up, "he is from the southern mainland Mystique Tower Federal. He is honored as the shaman of the country. A shaman coming that place, regardless the wide knowledge or the ability to use magic, normal shamans are absolutely no match for him! Letting such a person like him act is indeed too wasteful!"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Palin's strained appearance and Gerrard's concerned expression.
Judging from this, he could tell that this Satan shaman was really a talent. In such a short time, he had already successfully convinced Palin. Even Gerrard, who almost died by his hand, was more likely to admire than resent him.
It was rare to see such a talent like this!
Therefore, he said: "Did I mention anything about acting? All of you have overthought. Satan, you are an outstanding shaman. Do you know how to handle government affairs or ruling a territory?"
The Satan thought for a little while then spoke: "I do know a little bit. But these things are not my strengths. If Highness needs a talent in this field, I can recommend me this guy. That year, when I studied at the Mystique Tower Federal, I have known a noble descendant who has lost his territory. He couldn't live the life as he wished. He transcribes books and teaches children to make a living. If you want to build a dominion, he will be a great assistant."
"If it is the case, get him here. It would take a long time to get from the southern mainland to the northwest four towns. We can easily build the structure for the dominion first."
Sui Xiong said cursorily, while Gerrard was surprised till the point that he was shaking. He couldn't help but shout: "Highness, do you finally decide to build your own dominion?"
"Uhm, unconsciously I've got three subordinates. In my estimation, this line-up will constantly grow in the future. If I don't have a dominion, it will be inconvenient for everyone." Sui Xiong continued, "For now, let's decide it like this, we will leave this place first then deal with everything else later."
"Highness, those treasures..." Gerrard hastily reminded.
"The treasures are still here. They can't run anywhere." Sui Xiong smilingly said, "Wait until we get out. All of you bring this heavy metal transmission formation along. I will adjust the space coordinate a little bit then we can directly channel from anywhere."
"So it will be like a hidden warehouse." Gerrard's eyes lit up.
"No matter what people do, our secret lab will not be discovered!" The Satan's eyes also lit up.
Palin shrugged, remained silent toward the attitudes of these two companions.
A little time passed by. Three of them brought the dead asleep thieves out of the treasure cave. When Gerrard showed up in the forest, the left-behind thieves were freaked out. Fortunately, the vice president of the Thieves Guild constrained them so they didn't immediately scatteringly flee.
If they really fled, it would mean with giving up their supply. The possibility for them to survive in the Ash Forest at night would be none. Ten men among them that could make to the Pyroxene Town alive all got the Thief God's blessing.
The vice president "Gray Eye" knew this point really well. Therefore, although he was tense to the point that his legs were shaking, he still toughly restrained the bandits, stressing that escaping would only lead to death, not to mention dying miserably, on the other hand , there would be a way out if they stayed. As a result, they were standing in front of Gerrard while trembling with fear.
Really quickly, the entire gang of bandits showed up. Their anxieties reduced significantly as well. Since before they were not killed but only hypnotized, they guessed they would somehow get through this as well...
But their guess was wrong. No matter it was Sui Xiong or his other two believers, they were not fond of killing, Santa was on the other hand vicious and merciless. But he was extremely witty. He immediately put aside the idea of killing, determined to follow Highness' decision.
Moreover.... He also felt that this poor bandits could have any skills to create troubles for them.
An important thing was that even though there was a Great God behind them, a mid-level shaman and an unreasonably mighty giant were enough to level the border area of this small town.
But Sui Xiong was someone who tries to be on good terms with everyone, he could spare those bandits, but absolutely not the main culprit.
That was the despicable vilian who deceived them, the president of the Pyroxene town's Thieves Guild, "Fast Man" Rennes!
