Transferring to a Holy Shadow Dancer meant that the task had just begun, with much more to be done in the future.
Nie Yan learned the Shadow Dance Skill Release as well. This powerful skill significantly enhanced his strength.
Nie Yan stretched a bit. His body’s agility had improved considerably compared to before. A punch thrown was as fast as thunder. Thieves of old were like ants compared to a Shadow Dancer!
The Holy Shadow Dancer represented a completely new realm. Any ordinary skill, when executed by a Holy Shadow Dancer, became astonishingly destructive. Moreover, one could flexibly modify one’s own skills, much like a martial arts grandmaster. Once one’s understanding of skills reached a certain level, one could even create new skills.
The Holy Shadow Dancer title ranked above titles such as Great Scholar and Advanced Demon Hunter, being even more prestigious than those. Nie Yan was still unclear about the exact status of this title within the entire Granlan Empire.
What special effects did the Holy Shadow Dancer possess, and how was it different from a regular Shadow Dancer?
Nie Yan knew very little about this, as it was his first time encountering this level of Shadow Dancer.
After successfully transferring to a Holy Shadow Dancer, Nie Yan still needed to explore further to fully realize the Holy Shadow Dancer’s power.
He glanced again at the status of Guardian Angel Kalenna. Kalenna’s attributes were hidden, and Nie Yan was completely unaware of her abilities. However, Nie Yan sensed a powerful light force emanating from Kalenna. This light force was gentle, non-aggressive, and could coexist with the dark power of the Darkwing Dragon, which was very peculiar.
How many hidden effects did the Holy Shadow Dancer possess? It seemed that fully unleashing the Holy Shadow Dancer’s power would not happen overnight, but rather through gradual discovery.
The Holy Shadow Dancer was like a vast treasure trove, brimming with potential.
Nie Yan decided to stay in the Ancient World for a while longer to experience the changes after transferring to a Holy Shadow Dancer.
Glancing at his backpack, he still had a Dragon Crystal. If he fed it to the Darkwing Dragon, would it allow the Darkwing Dragon to evolve?
Nie Yan summoned the Darkwing Dragon. Upon seeing the World Heart floating in the air, the Darkwing Dragon knelt in reverence, trembling and not daring to move.
Nie Yan took out the Dragon Crystal and tossed it to the Darkwing Dragon.
The Darkwing Dragon caught the Dragon Crystal in its mouth, crushed and swallowed it. Then it closed its eyes, seemingly digesting the crystal.
After about five or six minutes, Nie Yan noticed that the Darkwing Dragon still showed no reaction. Could it be that the Dragon Crystal had no effect?
He was just about to return the Darkwing Dragon to his pet space when suddenly the Darkwing Dragon unleashed a formidable aura, and an overwhelming draconic might surged across the area.
What a strong aura! Nie Yan’s expression changed in shock.
The Darkwing Dragon’s body expanded to over six meters in length. A powerful aura surrounded it. Its previously grayish scales gradually turned deep black, each much larger than before. Although the luster was still somewhat dull, the increased thickness of the scales was evident, significantly enhancing its defense.
Had it evolved?
Nie Yan quickly checked the Darkwing Dragon’s attributes and found that it had indeed advanced from its original sixth tier to seventh tier. The powerful energy contained within the Dragon Crystal had enabled it to break through the sixth-tier barrier and become a seventh-tier flying mount.
The evolution of the Darkwing Dragon was a major advantage. At present, the highest-tier flying mounts among players were only around the fourth or fifth tier. A seventh-tier Darkwing Dragon could completely dominate the skies. If they encountered a situation like last time, where they were surrounded by third- or fourth-tier flying mounts, the Darkwing Dragon could effortlessly wipe them all out.
Nie Yan recalled the newly evolved Darkwing Dragon. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed something amiss—he was locked onto by a presence.
A flash of cold light from behind, and a dagger shot toward the back of his head, as fast as lightning.
As it was about to hit, Nie Yan dodged the attack with a Quickstep, leaping several meters away. Glancing back, he saw a rogue.
When Nie Yan caught sight of the rogue’s face, his gaze froze for a moment. The rogue looked exactly the same as him—identical appearance, identical equipment, even wielding the Zainnard Sword.
It was a mirror image!
Nie Yan’s heart sank. Generally, mirror images were difficult to deal with because they possessed fighting techniques equal to or even stronger than one’s own. Defeating them was extremely difficult. Usually, mirror images only appeared in certain special quests. However, the rewards for defeating them were often very generous.
The mirror image rogue’s eyes emitted a strange red glow. His gaze, as if tangible, swept over and locked onto Nie Yan, who was still in Quickstep.
It was True Sight!
Suddenly, the mirror image rogue accelerated, rushing toward Nie Yan, his speed at least 30% faster than Nie Yan’s!
Nie Yan’s heart tightened. How fast!
Nie Yan raised his left dagger to block the mirror rogue’s thrust. With a crisp clang, the two daggers collided.
Nie Yan exchanged several blows with the mirror rogue, growing increasingly alarmed. The mirror rogue was extremely powerful, and Nie Yan found himself struggling under the pressure. The mirror rogue possessed all of Nie Yan’s skills, with attributes 30% stronger than his. He was familiar with all of Nie Yan’s combat habits. Whenever Nie Yan made a move, the mirror rogue could anticipate it in advance. Sometimes, before Nie Yan could even execute an attack, the mirror rogue had already predicted it and blocked his path.
Damn, this guy was too strong! Nie Yan was about to use a Bone Spike when, in a flash, the mirror rogue’s right hand produced a long, thin Bone Spike, thrusting toward Nie Yan’s abdomen.
Wow, he had Bone Spikes too!
Seeing the terrifying Bone Spike coming straight at him, Nie Yan knew exactly what effect it would have if it hit. He quickly contracted his abdomen and dodged sideways, narrowly avoiding the attack.
With a single slash of the Zainnard Sword, Nie Yan shattered the Bone Spike with a sharp crack.
At that moment, the mirror rogue’s Zainnard Sword slashed toward Nie Yan’s head.
Nie Yan quickly activated Shadow Step, dodging the mirror rogue’s attack and swiftly retreating far away.
The mirror rogue scanned the surroundings with True Sight but could no longer detect Nie Yan, showing a confused expression.
True Sight could not penetrate the sixteenth-level Shadow Step technique!
Watching the mirror rogue wandering in the distance, Nie Yan pondered for a moment. He realized that there was absolutely no way to defeat the mirror rogue using conventional methods. The mirror rogue was familiar with all of his combat techniques, and its attributes were nearly 30% stronger than his.
Nie Yan was at a loss. Fighting such a mirror rogue was truly a headache.
Since the mirror rogue had appeared here, it must be related to Nie Yan’s Holy Shadow Dancer quest. Therefore, he made up his mind—he would not leave until he had defeated this mirror rogue.
